Due to a bit of a cock-up, a double socket in our utility no longer has a supply to it. I can access its cable (2.5mm) in the ceiling, but cant easily get this cable to a convenient place on the rest of the downstairs sockets ring. What I CAN access is the lighting radial that supplies the...

I'm pretty sure on my old one you could do something to say that a given page was to be your home page

Just got an honor 90 lite phone. Android obviously. I've managed to end up with the home screen (the one you go to when you press the home button) set to a blank page. I could drag all my icons to it but it's rather just be able to set my home screen to one of my existing icon-filled screens...

I'd like to smarten up the window boards in my conservatory. The longer sides have joins in them (not sure why!) and the plastic trims have gone yellow. WHat's the best way of painting them white again? A quick rub down, a coat of BIN, then the satinwood water based top coat Im using for the rest?

I have an aged relative who is in their own. they and we have Android phones. I can track their phone no problem, so if they go off our I can see where they are. however it would be useful to know if they are using their phone, which he tends to look at when he gets up in the morning... that way...
