If you use or view the old Twitter, and would rather see Larry (the blue bird) instead of X, then click below to install the extension* called Freebird X. It will reinstate Larry, 'New post' back to Tweet, Retweet and the old browser tab icon. You can add this to all Chromium browsers, so that does not include Firefox.

*An extension is a small program that you can add to a browser to get it to do additional functions.

You may be changing to EE from BT (nightmare!), changing provider or just getting a new router, if so, consider changing the password to something easier to enter. If you have many Internet connected devices, and the router has a very long or complicated password, you can avoid the labourious task of entering it, and perhaps being told it is incorrect and having to start again!

Switching to EE from BT was a nightmare. If you have a landline number and want to keep it, check that the deal includes it.

If it wasn't for Bill Gates of Microsoft, these would never have existed. In 1997 Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, when it was saved by an investment by Bill Gates.

Note that OneDrive and Google Drive are not backups, they are synchronisation programs. Backups are permanent records that cannot be altered.

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

Scooploop apps have been withdrawn. If you try to reinstall the apps on your current phone or a new phone, you will see the images below. Therefore you should not remove your current app.

Scooploop apps are no longer available, so do not delete your current one.

Scooploop is aware of the problems.

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

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'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?

Tried everything Google says but nothing works or settings/options they mention just are not there.

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?

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.
