Free software to replace MS Money
On my old computer I used MS Money to keep a check on my Home accounts, found it easy to use [which is what I need] but now MS Money is no longer available. Tried a couple of alternatives but found them difficult to get to grips with, can anyone suggest an alternative which is easy to use. Thanks.

Internet disconnects
My Windows 11 machine sometimes can't see wi-fi connections - even though they are there. I have managed to fix this in the past by restoring windows but I'm not sure if this is the best idea. I wonder if this is a hardware issue and maybe I need a new laptop. Any ideas? Thanks in advance?

Is there a way to hide hard drive history/info?
I bought a 2nd hand hard drive from hard-drive-experts on ebay. 4TB for about £60. Nothing important going on it so was happy to take the gamble. Ran hard disk sentinel… On the face of it it appears to have never been used. Is that likely or is there a way of 'winding back the clock' so that it appears this way but in…

Possible that my phone has been compromised somehow?
Samsung Galaxy S24+ I know that for whatever reason, apps occasionally 'kick you out' - where beforehand you could access the app via biometrics but today you need to put in your password kind of thing. Just now gone to do the monthly banking & couldn't access RBoS. It wanted my passcode instead of my fingerprint. I'm…

Can running a HDD in the 'red zone' lead to premature wear?
There's probably a term for it that I'm not aware of. To be clear - If you go in to This PC in Windows 10 you'll see a list of your connected drives. When it gets low (probably a percentage of the drive I imagine) then it flags red - that's what I'm talking about. Can this have a harmful effect on the drive or is it merely…

Broken - replacement - mobile
I have managed to break my existing mobile (xaomi rednote 10 pro) today. It got trapped and I can see small cracks coming from the camera in the screen. It's a lovely phone but several years old now.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good camera phone for taking photos (or very short clips) at concerts or other events with similar lighting? Budget wise, I'm looking at around £700 (or a little more if there's a big leap in quality). Ideally, I don't want it to be any larger than 6.3 All opinions appreciated -…

Virtual landline
Moving over to mobile broadband will mean ditching our landline number that we have had for nearly 50 years, as we’ve moved it with us when we moved home. We still get calls on it, although we usually make calls on our mobile phones. If there’s a fairly cheap way to retain the number and redirect it to a mobile phone or…

Apple watch and fall detection
Before we start - yes, latest OS versions. Now aside from "it hasn't been set up", is there a reason as to why once set up & the person falls wearing an apple watch, it DOESN'T alert someone notified? This was one of the reasons we got our mother an AW. Found out yesterday that she took a tumble last week. As per, she…

.epub file - help with opening and printing some pages
Rough Guides offer a free ebook version as a .epub file which I've downloaded. I want to open this and print out a couple of dozen pages rather than lugging a massive book around Germany with me.
