Does anyone use Browning nature cameras?

The Government is considering making TV licences compulsory, even if you do not watch the BBC or live TV.

If you haven't already done so, it would be wise to make alternative arrangements to stay in touch with members.

Trying to find out how long I have had my laptop, I know it's a long time.
Google info is complicated, there must be an easier way - I hope.
Any ideas ?

If your Google Drive becomes full, you will be unable to send or receive emails, or store any more files. To overcome this, you can open another Google account to get another 15GB, or use other cloud storage, and move files to it to make space in your original account.

If you have a phone connected to your router, if there is a power cut, it will no longer work unless you have a backup power supply. If the area affected by the power cut affects mobile phone towers, then you will also be unable to make a mobile phone call. The only way you can then communicate with the outside world is by a satellite phone. These are big and expensive. However, in the near future you will be able to use an ordinary mobile phone to make calls by satellite, where there is no phone mast in range.

I'd like to create a basic web page for Valentines day - something with a couple of videos, a few animated GIFS, some graphics, a coloured background and so on.
I know enough HTML, javascript and so on to be able to create the page, but I need somewhere to host it for a few weeks.
The idea is to create a QR code of the site URL, print it out and stick it inside the Valentines card.
Do any of you know of somewhere that can host the site for free?
I don't need to have a custom domain name - something like
h t t p://the hosting company/some name of mine/Valentine.htm
would be fine

All the sites I've seen want me to enter into contracts of a year or more.

Some users are finding that Microsoft is upgrading Win 10 computers to Win 11 without their consent. The program below will prevent this with one click.

£139 from Curry's. The picture is poor, and the sound tinny.

My desktop computer isn't compatible with Windows 11 but when I boot it up I keep getting pop up messages telling me to upgrade to Windows 11. The only two buttons are "Tell me more" and "Remind me later". What I need is a button saying "I know, b****r off and stop asking me".
Is there any way to stop these messages appearing?

I want to put a photo from my clipboard into my gallery
Tried everything Google says but nothing works or settings/options they mention just are not there.

I've gone through Trouble shooting, says there is a problem, then goes on to say Problem not fixed. I have no idea what to do now, any help, please?

The other day, I suddenly found that I can no longer open a series of new windows/tabs when I'm online using Edge and shut them individually by using the little x in their top RH corner. Also, my startup settings - automatically showing the home pages for my e-mail and one other account - no longer work. I must have hit some daft combination of keys....

I've checked the startup settings in Edge, which do correctly reflect my previous choices - but that's not now what actually happens when I open Edge.

I'm having to add a new window, or a new tab, while already using one window (usually my e-mail account) but I can't then close either of those additions by using the little x in its top RH corner - because doing that closes down every window and tab at once.

Can anyone tell me how to reset dratted Edge so that I can go back to working online normally, rather than having to rely on keyboard shortcuts to shut one window etc at a time, which I've never done before this week?

Morrisons currently have a keyboard with a number keypad and a wireless mouse for £10.

Don't forget the batteries for xmas presents! If they are AA or AAA etc., make sure you get the right ones: https://www.scooploop.com/thread/information-tips-and-myths-no35-using

I recently purchased a new laptop. Is the built in security on Windows sufficient or do I need to get McAfee or something similar?

Same question re iPhone 13.

Several things are going wrong at the moment; hopefully this is because of the promised new website.

In May next year, WhatsApp will stop working on the following iPhones:

iPhone 5s
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus

Or any iPhone that cannot upgrade to iOS15.1 or later.

If you have a Google or similar account, then it is important to keep your recovery telephone number and other information up to date. If you do not, you could lose access to your account forever.

Why not ?

.
Check that your recovery information for emails/Facebook/Google etc., is up to date - Do you still have access to that phone number or recovery email account? If you do not have recovery information, then, if you forget/lose your password, you may never have access to your account again.

Is there anyway to make the print bolder so it stands out more ?

Anyone help please ?

You have to add your area code to your local contacts.

Things they don't tell you:

I have just been digitally switched by BT! A man arrived from Morrisons - he had no food, just digital bits. They will leave your box that you plug your phone in to on the wall and install a new box; so ask him to remove the old box and put the new one in it's place, otherwise you will be left with holes in the wall. The surprising thing is that your phone may not work until the next day! It will have a line on it, and your number can be rung, but it does not ring. We now have two cables going to the house, presumably, when and if Open Reach visit, they will remove the copper cable, and collect the bits of their old master socket. I've had the task of removing old phone cables and cable clips.

Despite Microsoft advertising it as such, OneDrive is not a backup. If it is installed on your computer, its purpose is to synchronise files, not to back them up. A backup does not change, if you delete files on your computer, whether on purpose or by accident, they will be deleted from OneDrive, and from any other computer connected to it.

If you want to keep your data, you’ll need to move it to a new platform before 31st October.

From 31st October, the service will close, and all information will be deleted.

From 9th September, the BT Cloud platform became a “read-only” service, this means you won’t be able to upload anything new, but you’ll still be able to view and download the data you have in there already. (less)
