    Computer help please 2025

    Thanks for all the advice. It turns out it was something really simple, wind noise from my video doorbell, though why after a couple of years it`s suddenly started interfering with my pc ?

    Computer help please 2025

    Hi jukebox, it seems to be from the computer. I bought a usb soundcard which hasn`t helped at all. I hope i don`t have to take the back off to check the fan? I`m tempted to take it to a computer repair shop & probably get ripped off.

    Computer help please 2025

    Thanks Mort, The pc ( aio ) is not very old, less than a year so i doubt if it`s a cooling fan problem? I`m going to try a usb sound card to see if it improves things. I do miss my music, tried listening to A Lark Ascending & it sounded like a Lark with a sore throat!

    I have sound problems on my pc. It sounds like wind interference & I've exhausted my very limited skills trying to solve the problem. Any help is appreciated.

    1911 Census: 'feeble-minded'

    Through the 70s/80s we fostered a young lad classed as ESN. I taught him the best i could to read & write. He was a lovely lad & still keeps in touch today.

    Cabbage/Small whites may prefer cabbage to lay their eggs, but in my garden they prefer radish leaves { probably because i don`t grow cabbage } Red Admiral butterflies seem to be zooming round my garden as if they are on `something` Maybe a neighbour has got a cannabis plant growing!

    Nostalgia

    I`ve watched the video, sadly couldn`t find her. Probably something innocent like practicing to be a traffic warden.

    The car

    My wife chose a Skoda Karoq for our current car. Petrol, Automatic. I switched to automatic cars a few years back & would never buy a manual box again. Automatics have come a long way in recent years & are brilliant. BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES, GOLF are often driven by selfish people who think...

    If it`s as hot as the 90`s Richard then all those pots would need watering every day, a bit of a chore especially if you want to go on holiday or even for a day or two. I have a couple of fairly large padding pools which i fill with 6 inches of water & bung the pots in & they usually survive...

    In the garden today, a lonesome pigeon. I think it must have been it`s partner that was ravaged by a Sparrow hawk on the village green. Pigeons pair for life, so i`m wondering if this pigeon will stay single till it dies? Where have all the finches gone?
