Type Windows Defender in Start/Search - 2nd item, bottom left on Taskbar. Click OPEN on Windows Security panel. Click Virus and Threat protection - L/H list 2nd item down. Under Current Threats click Quick Scan, see Scan Options. My scan lasted 5 minutes and scanned 46,000 files, no threats found. Its quick and thorough, well worth doing regularly. -

I posted a thread on this topic some time ago, well this is how it works. The watch contains a small accelerometer, which is an instrument that detects movement. It therefore detects arm movement. On the assumption that in walking the arms swing, the corresponding arm swing is translated into steps. No arm movement, no steps. So if your watch arm is holding a shoulder strap, in your pocket, carrying a bag or riding a bike etc. there will be no step count. Verdict - fairly useless, but of casual interest. You can make it count any number of steps, sitting down and swinging your arm. 🤣 -

Bananas are among the world's most popular fruit. Bananas are also fairly nutritious, and contain high amounts of fibre and antioxidants. Over 90% of the calories in bananas come from carbs. As the banana ripens, the starch in it turns into sugar. For this reason, unripe (green) bananas are high in starch and resistant starch, while ripe (yellow) bananas contain mostly sugar. A medium-sized (118 grams) banana contains about 105 calories. The greener the banana is, the greater the content of resistant starch. Resistant starch has been linked to several health benefits : Bananas are a good source of several nutrients, including potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fibre. They also contain various antioxidants and plant compounds. Bananas are high in fibre. Unripe bananas are also rich in resistant starch and pectin, which can provide numerous health benefits. Taking 24 grams of banana starch each day for 4 weeks caused a weight loss of 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg), while also improving insulin sensitivity in patients studied. Bananas are high in potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Bananas are a good source of magnesium, a mineral that plays hundreds of roles in the body. Magnesium may protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Unripe, green bananas are rich in resistant starch and pectin, which may promote digestive health and reduce the risk of colon cancer. Eating a moderate amount of bananas should not raise blood sugar levels significantly. However, diabetics should be careful with fully ripe bananas. Bananas don't seem to have any known negative health effects, but they may cause allergic reactions in some individuals with latex allergy. Although bananas are unsuitable on a low-carb diet and may cause problems for some diabetics, overall they are an incredibly healthy food. -

https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/13/vladimir-putin-says-russia-primed-launch-nuclear-rockets-20453971/?ico=top-stories_news_top Whilst we discuss minor issues, Putin is rampant on sabre rattling. The crisis is much higher now than the Cuban crisis, with an absolute nutter in control of Russia's massive nuclear stockpile. What this despot forgets is that the US and NATO have an equally large stockpile and within minutes of a strike, Russia would fail to exist. -

I have not posted on this Loop for months. Two threads recently posted are stolen Ryan T ID's and are NOT my threads. The thread Loop Status now closed plus one other are forgeries by Brian Miller@Brianie. SL should immediately investigate this serious issue and delete Brian Miller@Brianie from the forum. -

WW3 is a durational impossibility, the timescale would only be in minutes or at the most hours. It would be total geographic annihilation over most of the Northern Hemisphere, caused by the interchange of huge nuclear weapons by Russia and the USA. The map image shows the enormous area of damage caused by the impact of just a single Russian 25 Megaton Tsar Bomb if dropped on London. An area within a 30 mile radius of the impact point would be annihilated and within a 10 mile radius would be vaporised in milliseconds. Life in the current and future nuclear age is suspended on a tightrope of annihilation. -

The latest Microsoft update KB5034441 is crap and repeatably fails with error code 0x80070643. There is no solution outside of expanding the WinRE recovery partition - a Geeks job. Microsoft have been inundated with complaints. Microsoft have said that a fix will be issued in their second Tuesday in February update. Meanwhile, ignore the failure. All Windows 10,11 Home and Pro programs have WinRE included and enabled as default. -

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/uk-boosts-military-aid-to-ukraine-amid-us-deadlock/ar-AA1mRSsF We have no money for our NHS and other vital services, but we obviously have enough in our piggy-bank to glibly throw away £2,500,000,000 to the Ukraine for their fruitless war against the Russians. And in the April budget, we will all be made to pay for it as our cost-of-living rockets sky high whilst our vital services are financially clobbered. -

Fear Factor is an American reality show hosted by Joe Rogan and has been running since 2001. Due to its astonishing content, the show has been cancelled and resurected twice. I beleive it is not live at present. The show displays the most incredibly dangerous and disgusting stunts ever shown on TV. Then prizes are enormous, involving stunt prizes worth $25,000 or more and final prizes of 50,000 up to $1,000,000. You can see it on Virgin Media channel 251 and Sky under their channel number. The channel shows Fear Factor continuously throughout broadcasting hours, without a break. It is highly addictive, I have been watching it all over Christmas and the New Year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_Factor https://www.looper.com/386726/the-untold-truth-of-fear-factor/ -

Has anybody had experience with these ? Do they work ? Is the response good and help quick to arrive ? They look an expensive proposition. Prices vary a lot, but an annual cost of £200-£300 is a general average with a set-up cost of £40-£60. Then their seems to be a problem with digital telephone supply as against traditional analogue. A digital pendant is much more costly. The alarm results in the team phoning your chosen contact or the emergency services, that is all. 1. Your contact may not often be available, at work, on holiday etc. 2. The emergency services could take 2-3 hours or more to arrive. 3. Is the talk volume adequate to hear ? Meanwhile you are left laying on the floor, possibly in pain. £260-£360 is a very expensive telephone call indeed. It seems to me easier and infinitely more inexpensive and convenient to simply carry your mobile phone around with you in a pocket. Your comments are welcome. -

China has developed a broad program for Earth observations, navigation, communications, weather forecasting, and materials processing. China achieved space superpower status in 2003 when Yang Liwei flew into orbit. China overtook Europe in launchings per year and, in 2011, surpassed the United States. China is now a great space superpower alongside the United States and Russia, sending men and women into orbit, building a space laboratory (Tiangong) and sending probes to the Moon and asteroids. Roadmap 2050 promises that China will set up bases on the Moon and Mars and lead the world in science and technology by mid-century. -

This huge complex piece of artwork takes some explaining.

I don't use my HP inkjet printer very much and do a test print hopefully every 3-4 weeks. I did a print the other day and the black did not print, the colour did print. I had gone just over a month. After taking the black ink cartridge out of the printer, I cleaned the copper ink strip with a paper tissue, replaced it and the black then printed OK. Back to normal again. Have you had this trouble with leaving your printer inactive for long periods ? -

PayPal is set to shake up its terms and conditions, levying a £12 charge on accounts it deems to be "inactive". In a move that will potentially affect thousands of users, accounts that haven't been used for a year or more will be subject to the annual fee, which will be automatically debited from the account balance. The fee has now been reduced to £9 in the UK. Customers who don't have money in their PayPal accounts won't be charged, no matter how long their accounts have sat dormant. The inactivity fee isn’t charged in the US. -
