while windows 10 has apparently risen slightly.
Appears this is due to ads according to this video.

I have a Brother Printer MFC-L27130DW. I want to scan photos to my PC and am having some difficulty setting it up. There is information on Google

but it is confusing. I am sure I have done it in the past via Wi-Fi, but my old brain can't remember how I did it. Can someone point me in the right

direction please?

I have decided to ditch Xtramail and have installed Gmail account in my Outlook 2019. It's working OK as it should.

I'll delete my Spark's Xtramail account  in the next few days.

Questions:

1.  After deleting the the my Xtramail account, of course, my Outlook 2019 will not be able to receive /send any mail, and will have to say bye, bye to xtramail. 
2.  All my Outlook 2019's Inbox /Sent and all folders/ sub-folders, etc., contents should still stay where they are, right?
3.  And, I should still be able to access all old mails from Outlook 2019.
4.  As mentioned above, I have setup my gmail account in Outlook 2019 and it is working OK and continues to work, right.
5.  Is there anything I should do before deleting my Xtramail account?

Cheers.

A woman waiting for her passport which had been delayed once due to photo being rejected, & has so far been waiting 7 weeks, has been told that if she pays an extra $206 she can have her passport sooner...


It all seems damned unfair - as well as a way to make money from those in sometimes difficult situations.

I had my car battery replaced by a battery shop the other day.

I was a bit surprised that he removed the old battery while the engine was running and then put in the new one.

I read somewhere that doing so may damage some electronic circuit/components in the car.

Any experts here to shed some lights on this?

Cheers

With any sort of luck, this might be the last straw...

Quote:Former US president Donald Trump┬áreturned briefly to the campaign trail on Wednesday and called the judge presiding over his hush money trial ÔÇ£crookedÔÇØ a day after he was held in contempt of court and threatened with┬ájail time for violating a gag order.
In imposing the fine for posts on TrumpÔÇÖs Truth Social account and campaign website, Judge Juan M. Merchan said that if Trump continued to violate his orders, he would ÔÇ£impose an incarceratory punishmentÔÇØ.
ÔÇ£There is no crime. I have a crooked judge, [he] is a totally conflicted judge,ÔÇØ Trump said speaking to supporters at an event in Waukesha, Wisconsin, claiming again that this and other cases against him are led by the White House to undermine his campaign.
The gag order bars him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his hush money case. Trump is still free to criticise Merchan.

Oh surely not! Surely the peasants must understand how they have to guard against any possibility of their standard of living slipping even a tiny bit...

Quote:How entitled are New ZealandÔÇÖs politicians? Right now, MPs across the political spectrum look entirely out of touch in their unified stance of┬áaccepting the hefty pay increases┬árecommended by the Remuneration Authority.
MPs should simply reject the pay increases ÔÇö┬áwhich they can easily do┬áÔÇö rather than risk a legitimate public backlash from constituents who feel betrayed by an already well-paid political class that insists on austerity for others, but not themselves.
Historically, MPs have been paid at a much lower level. The role of a politician was once regarded as a vocational public service. Consequently, a backbench MP was paid at the same rate as only a senior secondary school teacher.
Then, in the 1980s, alongside the neoliberal reforms, politics was professionalised, and MPs demanded to be treated more like private sector executives. Egalitarian ideas that MPs should be ÔÇ£just like usÔÇØ went out of fashion. The PM stopped having his phone number listed in the phone book. Regarding themselves as elite professionals, MPs felt no shame in devising new ways of calculating their pay that sent them skyrocketing. Running the country, and politics in general, was now to be done so like a business.
Politicians also enriched themselves in other ways. It became more common for MPs to invest in shares and accumulate real estate. MPs across the political spectrum made a fortune out of rising house prices. Nowadays, only a handful of politicians arenÔÇÖt property owners, and itÔÇÖs common for them to own multiple houses.
MP Chloe Swarbrick has spoken out strongly about MPs being ÔÇ£overpaidÔÇØ, saying,┬áÔÇ£I feel pretty gross about itÔÇØ.┬áNow, as co-leader, she emphasised this week that pay increases shouldnÔÇÖt be politicised.

And they shouldn't bloody well be happening either, Chloe. Shame on all politicians for not speaking out against this, particularly at a time when so many are struggling.
