‘ I have run the troubleshooter and it says nothing wrong.
Printer works but no ink coming through.
No tab for maintenance.
When I open the printer the heads move and all inks have red light, not flashing, just red, is this normal.
We have been away and printer not been on use. Put new ink cartridges in on return. ‘.

When I dipped my toe into the smartphone market (out of curiosity, not need) I bought a cheapo HomTom with a 5 screen for little more than the cost a basic stupid phone . I'm glad I didn't waste any more cash on a more trendy must have brand. The free apps are mostly crap and at 5 the screen is pretty much useless to me for internet browsing. The...

Just to close this - Did a reset (had to do it twice after it got its knickers in a twist the first time). I was then able to connect everything. My laptop (the first thing I tried connecting) wouldn’t let me connect with just the first 8 charas or using the button on the back, so I had to put in the full key. To be on the safe side, as a...

I've done that now FFS, thanks again, but guess what? Someone must have alerted me to that sometime in the past as I have a bookmark there already, a post of yours about doing avatars. :shock:

All I have to do now is devise a method of remembering things I have forgotten how to remember. :roll: :lol:

Just read your last which obviously crossed...

Canal + is now unscrambled too.
I've just posted that on the reasons to be thankful thread. :+1:

Giving not taking.

Its the only thing that you are likely to find me streaming.

If the only things worth saying are reports & discussions of binge watching Netflix then indeed I dont have anything to say.

Can't! I only have a Mac that would need an add-on gizmo. Unless it is the same or better than installing a Google mesh router - which I doubt - then it that will not happen!

My benchmark of doing anything IT is the installation procedure for a Google router :good:

Plus, if I format the HDD, I will lose about 500 movies.. :o

It is fine, I am...

Got everything working including via wifi and from both the pc and ipads. Thanks for the help and replies. When starting a scan, it still has a pop up box appearing on the screen which it didn't use to do but click ok in that each time and then I can scan, a little annoying but I can live with it.

@ Nifty, I should have said: a well known operating system issue. Even after closing almost all (background) applications, the battery drain didn't stop. So on day 15 the OH said: I'm going to uninstall this new iOS version. Only to discover that this is only possible during the first 14 days after the upgrade . Nice service for a very expensive...

Sorry to interrupt, but can I ask, is Android a version of Linux?

Yes - modified for use on portable devices.

Another of the many things I didn't know!

Thanks

I’m quite happy to publish the clue to my bank account’s eight digit numerical password. It’s J. I really don’t think that anyone will be any closer to being able to guess it than if I’d not given the clue. It reminds me but is meaningless to anybody else.

What a surprise! That is one of my password memory jogs as well but only for one site. I...

Battery University , quote: Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, the depth of discharge (DoD) determines the cycle count of the battery. The smaller the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge...

Or press the windows key plus E (windows key it's the bottom left of keyboard and looks like 4 squares)

This will give a list of the drives known to Windows. tell us what you see

To clarify, does the PC get to the W10 login screen with the background picture? or is it stuck before that point?

If it is getting to the W10 login, there are ways of resetting the password without losing any data, but not for the unskilled or faint hearted.

So which version of Linux do you go for? If you are a techy - fine you take your pick and you live with the consequences and no doubt you will get by. If you are not a techie then my advice is to stick with either Apple or Microsoft.

As a techy, I prefer Ubuntu for my servers but work uses RedHat (the IBM version) - as you say take your pick....

Frenchie you need to go easy on the Alsace rosé🤪

Oui, mon lapin ! :lol:

As I said on the related topic, if you have posted the video on Facebook, right-click on the video (on your Facebook page) and then left-click Show the URL of the video ; the video's address will appear in a box on the video, copy that address and paste it here in a post.

Yes - read that - but as I understand it is where you have a mix of http and https on the same page.
