Does the following make any sense? Someone drove into the local BT junction box, and our broadband is down for the next week until Openreach can get round to fixing it.

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…

Google Chrome - news feeds
Last week, without any intervention on my part, nor any apparent updates, my previously clean page when using Google Chrome was infested with news feeds and adverts. I have searched intensively (or so I thought) for a solution without success. Every solution offered tells me to go to the settings page (first stop I made)…

Microsoft Money file name
I have been using Money for years now but just a couple months ago the file name name changed from a simple .mny file to my computer's name then a bunch of numbers and letters then .mny. What did I do or the app do to do this? It seems to have all the correct numbers. I still have the original My Money.mny file and I am…

Other than…

What are you using AI for and which ones perform best at which tasks?
I saw the sticky on AI but I think we are past which one do people use, I use all but not in the mad way we see people on YouTube (from "shall I have a snack" to "will you marry me" What is more interesting is what are you using them for and which ones do you find are better at what tasks than others?

Sorry folks - another Ring doorbell question!
So .. I eventually got our Ring wired doorbell up and running and it all seems to work as it should on my phone. (We don't need what you get with a subscription.)
