I'm using a win 10 laptop. I have a few videos (mp4) and I'd like to extract stills from certain parts of them as jpegs. I've downloaded Clipchamp but I can't see how to save bits as jpegs.

Using an SD Card with Moto G32
I've got a Moto G32 smartphone and my storage is very nearly full (mostly with apps). I'm looking at buying an SD card but I had a quick look at the motorola website and regarding using SD cards with the G32 it says "you can't store apps on the SD card because it is portable storage". I've seen videos on Youtube of people…

Is there such a thing as an automatic light switch?
Hi all I’m not sure if there’s such a thing as the device I am imagining. I am looking for a light switch for my home that looks and acts like a normal on/off light switch 99% of the time.

Password Manager with easy Android Integration (and YubiKey)
My wife & I are longterm LastPass users, sharing one account with two sub identities, which saves cost and can be useful if we ever need to log in for each other. We have YubiKeys which add an extra, non password level of security, which I think is essential. Especially since the poorly announced LastPass security breach a…

Old 78's
I have some old 78 records, and I have an old 'vintage' style record player, which has just packed up. I saw a record player online, which only played 45's and 33's. But on Amazon there was another one which played all 3 speeds, so I phoned Richer Sounds about the first one, which they stocked, and they told me that there…
