The last update broke a vital aspect of having an app for Windows Central. Further investigation suggests a hack of some sort. I get my RSS feeds and read them to decide whether I need more than the headline. Previously, if I opened the (feedproxy.google.com) link in chrome, that revealed the...

On 2 January 2018 you posted two stories :- * Best VPN - in which you did not allow new comments. This was a recycled story, with the first comment 2 years ago, and the latest 10 months ago. * Grab a two-year subscription to Private Internet Access VPN for $34 - in which you did not allow...

PS If you can work out what use Adobe software makes of top end CPUs and GPUs; which is necessary and when it becomes overkill, I'd love to know. Their website explaining it seems to be deliberately obtuse, and I've never found a site that tests different processors with lightroom.

My laptop is a year older than your desktop. 3 years ago I replaced the HDD with a SSD,and it became like a new machine. I've also replaced the second HDD with a bigger one. It is a Dell XPS 17 running an i7 2820QM with an Nvidia 550 GPU. That GPU has become an issue following Adobe updating...

Mandatory isn't the right word - perhaps highly advisable or dangerous not to use ;) Why did you change to ibVPN and NordVPN? What is it that makes them better?

I help an increasing number of elderly people with computers. There is no one size fits all. One is happy to fiddle with settings, has a Windows laptop and an Android tablet and happily transfers music which she then plays using a Bluetooth speaker - ask if which she set up herself. Another...

The question is :do I use my device away from the desk? If not, a PC is cheaper for the same ability. The only sites necessary are power and external screen. Everything else can be wireless. So no difference desktop to laptop. As to saving power, the power cost of making a new device outweighs...

Less often than before! It used to be that every new generation of component gave a significant boost. Within my first year of owning a PC I had upgraded it from 128MB to 256MB of RAM. I bought a big hard disk (40MB) so that lasted longer. Windows typically NEEDED more power, graphics, RAM and...

MediaMonkey because it does what I tell it to do. It rips songs (pro), and for those already ripped auto organises songs into sensible folders, synchronises wirelessly or by cable with my phone and tablet. It auto tags or manual. Artwork and lyric downloads. I can have an auto playlist of songs...

I now only ever look at mobile nations sites using their apps on Android. Unusable in a browser on any device. The only thing that struck me as I typed this was paranoid. If they don't serve the huge volumes of ads while using the app, in what other way are they earning money from me?

I gave up looking at wc using a browser because it took so long to get to a position where I could scroll the page. Not just adverts, but tablets and social media icons too. Instead i installed the app, and it is better. Previously i was using a variety of browsers on Android and Windows 10 in...

I am very disappointed with ac for this article. Firstly, your article with this title is in your news feed - whereas it is an advert. Secondly, news feed items have the ability to comment - this doesn't. Finally and most importantly - you should never promote IoT (Internet of Things)...

My update has stuck on 83% twice now.

I've not had that wait, but can understand. I used it back in the days of windows mobile when it worked well. I abandoned windows when they stopped developing an operating system I loved and am only just considering returning now that windows 10 promises so much more.

I do understand how some people like LastPass but I think it's like Marmite - you either love it or you hate it. May I ask if you've tried Roboform? I used LastPass for a week originally. I've been working with my friend (for whom I installed it) for 18 months two afternoons a week. I've set...
