Twiiter or X, how...........
Whether it's Twitter or X, ideally it would spring open at the last tweet made and you scroll up as far as you want, to see if you've missed anything of interest. I read that I'm not alone in finding that doesn't happen. Blue dots denoting there are new tweets to read, don't always respond when touched. Has anyone found a…

About web browser addons.
Hi There are several articles about addons for Firefox (and other) browsers. This one for example ---> https://tildes.net/~tech/173f/what_browser_extensions_do_you_absolutely_love_to_use When I look through these I realize that Less is More. No need to install them all just for the sake of it. These are the ones that I use…

Unusual alignment in a Spreadsheet cell
Just something I'm curious about. I use LibreOffice Calc but this question probably applies to Excel too. If you have a column with cell contents like Jan 2023, Feb 2023, Oct 2023 etc and you select Centre as the alignment, the first letter of each cell value doesn't always align with the first letter of the cell above or…

Galaxy A03s proximity sensor
My partner has had a Galaxy A03s for approx 18 months. She keeps complaining to me that the phone's screen goes blank (times out) just a few seconds after the call connects. It does this even when the phone is on loudspeaker and placed on her desk. I suspect that the proximity sensor is to blame or faulty. There is nothing…

WIN11 & MS Edge
When I open MS Edge on my PC the size of the page that appears is seemingly random. Obviously it isn't a problem to maximise it to full size, but I have gone through every setting to try and get it opening to full size and it is irritating me - perhaps I should get out more! Any ideas please?

At first I thought mobile data but it happens on the home WiFi also & has been happening for a few days now. I open the app, get the Facebook F in the middle of the screen & that's all that ever happens.

Can’t upload photos from iPad/iPhone
I need to order some prints but when I try to upload to Snapfish, it lets me highlight the photos I want but when I press the ‘add’ button, it goes grey but then turns blue again. Pressing it again does the same thing. I tried the Snapfish app instead but the same problem occurs. Their customer support has been useless,…

Google maps
I've always used Google maps when driving long distances or somewhere new and never had an issue. But the last 3/4 times I have used it, I have had problems with GPS keep being lost. Not sure f it is an issue with my phone or a Google maps issue. Is there anything else out there than can be used instead of Google maps? or…

Google Sheets number format not playing nice
This has happened to me on & off for a long time now & it's now annoyed me enough to ask what is going on with it. Some times it works, most times it doesn't. So Google Sheets.... I highlight a cell, call it A1 & I'll be focusing on the A column. I may even hit A to highlight the entire column. Format > Number > Customer…

Lit Fibre - Alternative Router
I have recently moved to Lit Fibre for their 100mb connection. The service is great, but the router they provide (MitraStar MGS2028E-2) has a weak wifi signal, and we struggle to get a signal upstairs. I don't want to pay an extra £5 per month for their mesh unit. Also the router only has 2 LAN ports, whereas we need 4…

Macbook screen repair - cheapest option?
I was playing with the cat and managed to knock my MacBook air off the sofa - resulting in a cracked display (which is still 'usable' but I've basically lost an inch at the side of the screen). Not covered by insurance. 13 inch 2020 model. Looking online, I can see quotes for repair coming in at around £370. I can't get a…
