I was having great trouble getting my Samsung Galaxy 6 edge to connect to my MacBook so I could transfer files back and forth. Seems that the long-deleted Samsung KIES program which I had installed to sort out a problem for a family member was causing grief. This article indicated the clashes betwee...
On a Facebook Page I occasionally follow, someone asked about whether they should switch their heat pump to natural gas for the winter. Having installed a heat pump a few years ago, I reviewed my notes, and went looking on the Internet for the App I had used to calculate the economic balance point o...
