IT geek rambling on about technology tips, fixing things and anything else on my mind.

We live in such a wasteful world. Always upsets me to see people throwing away rather than giving away etc. #Freecycle and similar programmes are my favourite way, but this seems great reuse and great to highlight the potential of what we throw away

Brilliant. 👏♻️📚

Three friends have entered the #UK in the last two weeks separately, and all of them told me they were surprised to not be asked anything about their #CovidVaccination status. So are the current rules even being applied currently?! #coronavirus

I'm regularly asked what people can do when their e-mail account is #Hacked. Many suffer with repeated hacks.
My latest video aims to explain the steps I usually recommend to resolve this. #StaySecure #Security

Disappointed to see the predictable patting of backs from #COP26. Best case reduces 52.4 Gt of emissions to 41.9 Gt but 26.6 Gt is where we had to get below. Politicians afraid to say we have to change #bancrypto #StopFastFashion #Reuse #WasteNotWantNot #KickingStoneDownTheRoad

If you care about clean oceans, check out @MarkRober's latest video about this awesome robot river cleaning facility and the #TeamSeas campaign that could see many more in operation. Awesome stuff! https://t.co/zDpvhJLXfx

As we look to #COP26Glasgow, it's our actions that count. Tech offers some great solutions, but #CryptoInvestment isn't one of them, and endangers the planet as it grows. Please think carefully about what your actions say about you #ClimateEmergency #Waste #YourActionsYourEthics

@YouTubeCreators is the Shorts Bonus real? I'm stuck in a loop, clicking a studio message from this month and getting a message saying I don't have a bonus. Trying to raise a case the system created a blank case and won't let me edit it to add text. Going mad here!

[Artexic @Artexic]

@TheRegister Sounds pretty cool tech. Sadly @SamsungUK remain in our block and replace list for repeated failures and have never corrected after #30MonthsToRepair a previous fault. New tech is great but #WarrantiesMatter more

[Artexic @Artexic]

@kaspersky I definitely prefer the internet before selfies and the obsessive self promotion of modern social media.

Online nostalgia makes me think of #StreetsOnline and #Altavista, my go-to sites before Amazon and Google got so big

@kon_saj Thanks for reaching out SajKon. I don't make a habit of sub for sub, but found your videos very relaxing. Particularly liked this one so will be heading to sleep listening to it shortly! All the best. https://t.co/OFv0L9HVzS

@kon_saj Thanks SajKon, much appreciated. It's late here but I'll certainly check out your videos soon. I appreciate your support.

Just caught up on #TheCircle. I love the psychology of the show. Glad to see a genuinely nice person win. Feel bad for Andy and Syed, genuinely lovely guys. #whatthebloody

[Artexic @Artexic]

@TheRegister I'm surprised the entertainment value of the questions and answers on #YahooAnswers hasn't resulted in enough advert revenue to keep Yahoo from deleting it. Not sure I could bring myself to answer any of them in my videos!

@YouTubeCreators Talking through how a toilet cistern works really shouldn't be my favourite but people seem to love it, and I tried out some position focused text which I love too! So toilet cistern it is for me! https://t.co/XXw2bVVNCT

For #YouTubeCreators struggling with Google's US Tax Info request. I've just uploaded this video after getting mine approved.

Well worth sorting to avoid double taxation and 24% tax! Mine was auto-approved #simple

I can confirm I am... I miss Clippie more to be honest

[Kaspersky @kaspersky]

Productivity killer.

@troyhunt @Samsung Really doesn't surprise me from a company who redacted details on Word documents they sent me by making the text black on a black background @SamsungUK #fail

Still waiting on an apology from them for #30monthstorepair a faulty shipped device.

[Artexic @Artexic]

After 8 years of service, I got the #WSOD from my @SamsungUK. I don't believe in disposable tech but testing it, it looks terminal.

So the question is, what should I go for next? No Apple or Samsung please.

Looking for solid secure tech at a sensible price point (<£200).

[Artexic @Artexic]

@evryonesacritic Very wise James. I'm out of work at the moment myself, and thinking I'll do the same for now. If enough people minimise contact, it will really make a difference. All the best.

I've been to @Tesco today and got a chicken, some veg and a couple of other bits I need. Hopefully a sign that UK #panicshopping is reducing.

Empty shelves are getting all the focus, and driving some to panic. There is still #PlentyToGoAround #JustBuyWhatYouNeed #StopHoarding
