This is one of those exercises that are completely useless in many practical terms, but it’s fun to do, especially if you have some 16-bit games laying around that won’t run on Windows 10. As mentioned in my previous article, My 10 Favourite Games Of All Time, I’ve always wanted to play Chip’s Challenge on […]
A woman called me because she had some saved items on Facebook and could not unsave them or delete them. I tried on my own Facebook with the same results. And I thought Microsoft was the King of screwing up simple things. I wrote before on how to save them: Read: How To Save Facebook […]
Standard Television Warranties With big-screen smart TVs now all the go, I am amazed that the major television manufacturers — Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony — are still getting away with providing just 12 months warranty. It is incongruous to me that a TV costing hundreds, and even thousands of dollars, can come with the same […]

There are vague forms of it in some amendments, but it is never directly addressed. Do not be afraid– this is not a political diatribe. This is a discussion about the Windows 10 privacy settings […]

I was sitting here messing around on my social Apps and noticed that I never really Direct Message (DM) anyone on them. Yes, once in a great while I will DM someone on Facebook but not very often on Instagram and almost never on the others. That got me thinking that maybe other people might […]
Choosing my favourite games of the last 20 years isn’t difficult and it’s certainly not as subjective as The Top Ten Best Games Of All Time, because fortunately, we all have different tastes. Putting lists together of the best this and the best that always seems self-defeating to me because everyone will have a different […]
*Applies to new Chromium Edge only As you may be aware, the new Edge is very similar to Google’s Chrome browser in that both are built on the Chromium platform with Blink as the default rendering engine. This change has improved Edge no end and added a number of benefits, not the least of which […]
Some of us might not like our phone automatically setting the date and time for us. The system uses this for time stamping your text messages and many other functions that require the time and date. The reason this came up is my work schedule. I like to be a little early to work so I don’t end […]
Creating a hyperlink to a document in a shared location (i.e., network drive, Sharepoint library) can be a very effective way to email a document to one of your colleagues.
