    Before you click “Buy” on Facebook

    Facebook is many things to many people — keeping up with family, sharing local news, selling a sofa.

Adverts for amazing-looking…

    Backing up your files on Windows

    I’ve been asked on a few occasions about the best way to back up files, documents and photos on Windows. The simplest and most reliable way is to use Microsoft’s own OneDrive.  If you’re using Windows 11, OneDrive is already built in and very easy to use. To get started,…

    Is Microsoft Edge “the devil’s work”?

    A question I’ve been asked a couple of times now is about whether people should use Microsoft Edge. It seems to have garnered a poor reputation amongst some, but unjustly in my view. For many years, Microsoft’s web browser, Internet Explorer, was known for being slow, unreliable, and prone to…
