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. Previously I think I've used an online site to convert epub to a pdf file. This time I've tried that, but the formatting is…

Wix alternatives for websites?
I have run a website on Wix for a number of years now but their hosting is costing me a lot. Now they want £201 for the next two years and this is killing my pocket!

Samsung tablet for running Netflix?
Doesn't have to be new. I've had decent experiences buying from Music Magpie before with phones, although I've always chosen the 'pristine' condition, never anything less. Ok so I've never really been interested in tablets before so I actually know nothing at all about them really. Which model ranks where in the hierarchy…

Charging optimisation not working on phone
I've got an Google Pixel 9a and in the settings I set it to only charge up to 80% as apparently this extends the battery life. I went into settings>battery>battery health>charging optimisation and I've selected charge to 80% and toggled on charging optimisation but for some reason it's still charging to 100%. Can anyone…

How is my phone being accessed without my fingerprint or passcode?
Galaxy S24+. To access my phone I need to either do fingerprint unlock or enter my passcode. I can't get in any other way. Today it's been absolutely tipping it down & so my phone, on the inside of my jacket pocket, got quite wet still as my jacket was soaked through. ** When putting my phone in my pocket I ALWAYS press…

Microsoft OneDrive is baffling me...and driving me nuts
I needed an option to back up my photos and files - there's quite a lot - and after looking on the MSE website, decided Microsoft 365 with OneDrive was the best option. I'm regretting it. Yesterday, when I wasn't signed into OneDrive, it wouldn't let me access my files that I THOUGHT were saved on my computer. Turns out…

Thoughts on Humax Aura PVR?
We have an older Humax Freeview recorder that is starting to be unreliable. The Humax Aura is a possible replacement, but I see several user reviews on both John Lewis and Amazon that say it is best avoided. As usual there are the "best thing since sliced bread" vs "don't touch one with a barge pole" reviews, anyone got…
