MSE Hoover HF410P Praise, vent and warning!
I’m happy with the MSE offer of the Hoover HF410P and the good discount so that’s the praise. Vent is that although it is advertised as a 3 year warranty it is only possible (so far) to register a one year warranty.

Someone using my details to sign up on gambling sites for free bets
On a couple of occasions recently I've had an email in my inbox welcoming me to a gambling site which I've never signed up for.

Cheap electronics - is there a catch?
I may be paranoid, or just learning lessons from mistakes of others. Not needing repeating them myself. What concerns me: there is a flood of cheaper 'brands' of electronics on the market, whether it is e-bay, Amazon, and others (not even bothered going on Temu and alikes). I have been looking for a compact camera, for…

Disgraceful response from Facebook regarding deep fake advert involving Martin
I really do hope that one of your team reads this and shows it to
Martin.....and that you take it up with Meta/ Facebook and demand some
answers. A few days ago I saw an advert on Facebook which was obviously a deep
fake one showing Martin speaking and also introducing Elon Musk.. It

EDF Energy - Smart Gas Meters Not Suitable for Purpose?
I recently (after many months of trying) had my Smets 1 smart meters upgraded to Smets 2 by EDF. I'm grateful for this.

After the new meters were installed by EDF, I discovered…
