    Encrypted Emails

    This article shows how to enforce TLS encryption, but OP shows that the email is already encrypted with TLS. @Early riser Gmail natively supports TLS encryption (example below), so I don't believe this is why you can't view the emails. After opening the email in Gmail, click the three dots...

    Encrypted Emails

    TLS is a transport layer encryption, which means that it encodes emails as they travel over the internet. TLS doesn't keep the emails encrypted once they arrive. That icon just means that the email was transmitted securely. What are you trying to do that's not working? What email software are...

    Correct fixing for heavy mirror

    Thanks. Would these do? 7.5x180 CSK concrete. What sort of tubing do you suggest?

    Correct fixing for heavy mirror

    I want to hang a mirror on a wall. The mirror is 1800x600 / 6'x2' landscape, so short and wide, but quite heavy 24 kg/53 lbs. The wall is plasterboard on brick. I'm worried about putting that weight on plasterboard, so I was planning on drilling straight through into the brick. The problem is...

    Any idea what this is called?

    If you don't come right, try upload the photo to Reddit forum "what is this thing". It's a bigger forum than DIY so thousands of people looking, and they've helped me with really arb parts.

    RealTEK USB wireless adapter connects and then drops offline

    I don't think it's a hardware issue, as I have a Dell laptop with integrated wi-fi and experience the same problem. Mine definitely isn't hardware because the same device worked perfectly on Win7 before I "upgraded". That said, buying a different device like fluorescence suggested would...

    Gmail desktop on Win 10

    Your choice of browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) has no impact on being able to create shortcuts on your desktop. If you are using Internet Explorer, then you should upgrade to a modern browser. If you are using Edge, then it is based on the same codebase as Chrome so there is little...

    MS Office 2007 Disk To Laptop Without Optical Drive?

    I wouldn't download it online. Microsoft doesn't provide copies of old software online because they want you to upgrade. You could always look for a torrent, but there's about 95% chance the torrent will include malware.

    Electric Shock from Washing Machine

    My wife got a small electrical shock when she took wet washing out of the washing machine the other day, so I measured between the washing machine drum and a nearby radiator pipe, i.e. earth. There is a fairly constant 4.8V a.c. potential and a peak current of about 8 mA. Is this sort of small...

    AOL Email

    Spammers often blind carbon copy addresses. So they send the original email to @aol.com and then BCC a hundred other addresses. Because yours is one of the BCC addresses, it doesn't appear on the email form, but it is there in the background. You're right - "skip" is if you want to archive the...

    Do you subscribe to paywalled news paper site(s) ?

    Why would you subscribe when there is so much free news? Yes, there is a difference in quality of journalism and you won't get the in-depth articles, but I prefer to read several different sites on a topic to get a broader view.

    AOL Email

    Just because an email has AOL in the From field doesn't mean it was actually sent from AOL. Besides which, AOL will either do nothing or do it at a glacial pace. Log into the web version of Gmail using Safari. Open one of the spam emails, click the 3 vertical dots on the top right (next to...

    Samsung Smart Switch

    Not a definite answer, but I would guess Smart Switch is reading the files from the phone based on their sequential "physical" location on the phone's eMMC internal storage. You could try useause different transfer app to read them in a different order, or useimage grouping software (e.g...

    Too Many Wires in Smoke Alarm

    I moved into a house where the smoke alarms were knackered (ground floor was both disconnected and expired, and the first floor was missing completely), so I bought two Aico Ei141RC alarms. The first floor fitting had the normal number of wires (L, N, E, IC) and took five minutes to fit. I then...

    Replace Smoke Alarms without setting off Security Alarm

    The security alarm control panel display is cryptic to the point of being unusable unless you have the manual directly in front of you, and even then it's complicated. The symbols look like something out of the Predator films... Maybe it's just because of it's age, because my mum had a new alarm...

    Replace Smoke Alarms without setting off Security Alarm

    Thanks both. I was hoping not to have to buy a battery, because the security alarm is rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I don't have money for that now. Guess I'll look for a cheap battery on eBay.

    Replace Smoke Alarms without setting off Security Alarm

    The smoke alarms in my house are completely knackered and need to be replaced, so I bought two Aico EI141RC alarms with mains and battery back up. I now need to fit them. Step 1: turn off breaker on DB so I can wire the new alarms without getting electrocuted. The problem is my smoke alarm and...
