Tutanota email service blocked

On Wednesday 1 March 2023 in the morning we accessed our Tutanota email account with no problem. That afternoon WITHOUT WARNING our email service was blocked. We could still login but could read only the email headings in various folders. All text was missing. I contacted Tutanota Support from our s...

Media reader/consumer advocates in Canada?

UK media has numerous consumer/reader advocates who take on companies (eg banks, travel agents and airlines!) and government departments (eg CAA, various UK airports etc) who have "provided bad service" to their victims and are refusing to provide a remedy. These are most effective, particularly reg...

Chinese high altitude balloons

About a week ago a Chinese balloon crossed Alaska and Canada between Alaska and Montana either without being detected or someone was withholding information. As you know it was finally shot down off South Carolina. It apparently became public knowledge when the Billings Gazette published photos. htt...

How may I copy the contact list from LG C440 to iMac?

A friend recently lost his cell phone, which meant that he also lost his contact list which had not been backed up elsewhere. I would like to avoid this in case my LG C440 flip phone should fail or go missing. The LG C440 owner's manual fails to mention any way to back up or copy the contact list to...

Re: Safe replacement for Vapona Strips in occupied rooms?

Thanks for the replies. The problem is mainly normal size house fles and some little flies that seem of a different type. They are very small and move slowly. There is the occasional mosquito, from when the door screen is opened. I did an online search and have been looking at various UV bug zappers...

Safe replacement for Vapona Strips in occupied rooms?

When first introduced Shell Vapona Strips were suggested as an easy use insect pest control in homes. Later advice was to use these strips only in uninhabited spaces or rooms which were occupied for less than four hours per day. More recent advice is to avoid these strips altogether in occupied room...

Microsoft recently withdrew Skype service from us. Apparently this is due to some sort of enforced pseudo-upgrade that Microshaft is trying to railroad on to users.
