Eufy340 doorbell is it compatible with my wi-fi?
I am thinking of buying this but it only works with 2.4GHz and I can't for the life of me find out what my wi-fi is. I have looked at loads of tech help advice articles but I am none the wiser. They are telling me to check on either my hub or my desktop PC in settings then network and internet for Windows 11. Nowhere in…

Is something going on with hard drives right now?
I remember not all that long ago there was a big hoo-ha about struggling to get graphics cards. Maybe that's still the case. I'm trying to buy a couple hard drives at the moment & it's not as I remember it. A couple years ago I could hop on Amazon, stick an order on & they were here with me tomorrow no problem. Now I'm…

WD My Passport Ultra - can't access drive
So I've only recently found out that drives can lose their data in an unpowered state. I completely wasn't aware of this being a thing at all. I was under the impression that if data was written to a drive & that drive was put in a drawer then (so long as the room wasn't subject to extreme temperatures) that drive would be…

Time for a new laptop
I'm in need of a new laptop, I don't need a really high spec one, as all I use it for is shopping, general browsing, banking and storing photos. My current one has MS office on it, but I really only use word and excel, so if there is an alternative to those? that would be great. I'm used to the keyboard layout and 15 inch…

Email provider suggestions?
My brother, who is even more IT ignorant than me, has been having enormous problems with Microsoft email accounts which, it seems, are insisting on ever more layers of verification and back-up phone numbers/alternative accounts, not to mention pushing sales and AI like there's no tomorrow I've told him to walk away from…

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…

Gmail folders missing on phone
My email provider is Fasthosts, where I have an IMAP mailbox. When I log onto webmail I can see the folder structure that matches what I have on my laptop using Thunderbird. Until recently the same folders could be seen in the Gmail app on my phone (Motorola Edge 40 Neo, Android 15) by selecting the three bars, but now all…

"Local Energy Advisor" spam calls
I've been on the TPS for decades and it's reduced spam calls no end, but obviously some people still ignore it. As well as the "bank security department" scams, which probably originate outside the country, one persistent annoyance is the "local energy advisor" calls. These have been going on for years and should have been…
