    Google Sheets - Default Font & Size

    I have created a multi-tab Google Sheets document. I would like to maintain a certain font and font size each and every time I edit the document or those who have access edit it. For some reason I am having great difficulty as it seems to revert back to Arial 10 often. How can I create a...

    Acer Spin 5

    I have an Acer Spin 5 14" laptop / tablet combo. I have really enjoyed using it and love the touch screen. The one-year manufacturer's warranty has expired. For the past couple of months, the screen suddenly goes black on me while using it. Then, it sometimes takes a few seconds of banging...

    Getting Rid of Cable TV

    As far as VPNs go, I am still a little confused as to how this would be of benefit to me if I choose to ditch my cable. Is it that I would have access to any and all U.S. online streaming options? If this is the case, wouldn't I still need to provide any such service with proof of a U.S. address?

    Getting Rid of Cable TV

    Thanks for the responses. Joe: I did a quick search on Philo and it states right on the site that it is only available in the US. Being in Canada, I would need to look at other options. As far as cable goes, the main benefit for most people - my family included - is the convenience. By this...

    Getting Rid of Cable TV

    I am looking to ditch my cable TV. I don't want to pay the monthly $90+ for a lousy selection of channels, most of which we either don't watch or that we can stream live online. I watch a lot of pro sports and I am able to stream them from various websites free. Can anyone suggest how to...

    Home Network Wifi Issues

    This might be a tough question to answer as I have already tried by contacting my ISP and I didn't get very far with their response. As a result of extensive ongoing use of smart phones and other devices, I have been forced to cut down on internet use for my kids. I felt the best way to do...

    Streaming Devices

    I don't own a smart TV but for years I have been connecting laptops to big screen TVs with HDMLs. I would like to get a streaming device that can be used as a 'stand-alone', meaning without needed a device such as a phone or computer to stream from. What are my best options for streaming a...

    Printer Ink

    I have a few questions about my printer's ink cartridges. I have a Canon Pixma TR7520. For years, regardless of the model, I have been buying 'knockoff' replacement cartridges online. Even decent 'knockoffs' can be a bit pricey it seems, especially for the printer model I have. Most...

    Bluetooth Ear Buds

    Those definitely look alright. The only thing is that I was hoping for buds without any wires or connectors. I really need ear hook capability otherwise they won't stay in my ears for long. I've seen a few types on Amazon that seem to fit the bill. The only issue is that I don't know these...

    Server denied POP3 Access

    I have already added 2 e-mail accounts to my main Gmail account for the purposes of regularly checking for e-mails on my main account. Both the accounts I added were from a different e-mail provider. I had absolutely no problem adding those 2 accounts from a different provider. Then, I tried...

    Smart Watch Shopping

    I want to get a smart watch compatible with my Samsung S8+ phone. I am most interested in a good heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, and a decent battery life between charges. I would like it to have as many compatible functions with my phone as possible. My budget... Ideally below...
