    Phones Zenphone 10 mini Android phone

    I love my iPhone 13 mini. I hope it will last forever. But if it doesn’t, and Apple does not make a new model to replace it, I think a phone like the Zenphone 10 could well fit the bill. Does switching to Android mean selling my soul to Google and its advertisers? What is your experience with...

    M1 Mac Mini DisplayS Issues

    Morning all. This is a bit of a long shot Q, but I have to ask for my own piece of mind. I bought an M1 Mini June 2021, so it was one of the early ones. I paired it initially with a Dell 3221QS curved 4k monitor. Not brilliant but OK. Over the year, I lost my Music Library (Corrupted file...
