So when is software ok to install now?
Seemingly direct from the main website too. What can you even trust these days then? And yes I'm aware that apparently it was only an issue for a relatively small window but still, if you downloaded within that window then it's an issue I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4HbH2Ic7nA I think perhaps if it ain't broke…

BT Synergy phone won't charge batteries
I've got two setups, each with quad set of BT Synergy 6500 cordless phones, they'll all be well over 10 years old now. During the past 2 years, they've been dying, one by one, so I only have 3 working ones left now. Typically, a handset will show 'low batt' warning after only a few minutes' use, so I install new batteries…

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…
