Computer questions you'd be embarrassed to ask any where else!

If all else fails get an FM transmitter that plugs into the ciggy socket, it syncs to your phone over Bluetooth and then you just tune in whatever is playing on your phone on the car radio like a normal radio station.

Our car is 22 years old and that's what I use 😎

I have a new IPhone 16 and no matter what I do I cannot get it to sync with my hands free in the car. Switched both off, switched back on… problem is probably the car kits a 2016 and screen for the radio/hansfree mostly doesn’t work it’s frozen.

Hi @fibbs019 . What does the kit look like? You said it's a 2016 and a Toyota, but not sure if that was the kit or the car.
Is it part of the original head unit? If the screen is damaged it might be sending unfortunate signals at just the wrong moment.

Am I right in saying that you did get it to pair for a time? Was the screen already damaged then, or was it more recent?

If you can still tune the radio, I'd go in the same direction as @Hotblack Desiato with the FM transmitter.

There are units available that have a screen with Carplay built in for under a hundred euro and also transmit to your FM radio.
I got one for my daughter the Christmas before last and she's still pleased with it. Added bonus is you can take it with you when you change the car too!

Wifi boosters are a cod. They'll literally halve the speed of your whole wifi network, not just the room the booster is in

What you need is mesh repeaters linked back to your router by ethernet cable.

But if you really must… don't put it in the room that needs a boosted signal, put it between there and the main router. It needs to be in a good signal area of the main router while still being within reach of the target area

This is driving me nuts, I want to visit https://uk.winsornewton.com/ but it keeps redirecting me to eu site. On first visit it did pop up asking me to confirm I was in Ireland, I did, but at that stage I did not realise their full product range would not appear and I need to get to the original UK site, but can't. I don't have a VPN. TIA.

I thought disk defragging went out with the Ark!

Unlikely to provide any benefit, certainly on a computer only 3 years old.

Here's how to free up drive space, once it gets low it will cause the computer to slow down. It'll suggest what you can safely delete (temporary files and stuff)

Also what anti-virus is running on the PC? Windows Defender (which is free, and installed by default) is all that is needed, if there is McAfee or Norton or any of that other crap then uninstall it. Having more than one anti-virus running is disastrous for performance (having McAfee on its own is bad enough)

Once the above is done and there is sufficient drive space, then run Windows Update and apply all updates, then update apps (on Windows 11, open the App Store, go to Library and search for updates)
