Hi,
You could try using Kodi, there are several repo's there that have the UK TV channels. I am not sure if they are legal.

Try a pressure cooker.
A giant version is what hospitals use (Autoclave)
It will be much more effective than trying dry heat if you have to sterilize anything.

We have plenty of toilet paper now.
There's supposed to be a beer shortage, now that's MUCH more important.

We have a tap in the church hall which is foot operated, I don't know how old it is. Stamp on it for on, and again for off.
I am sure we had similar ones in some places in the hospital where I worked a long time ago. I don't know if they are still available or used.

The trouble with new printers is the cartridges are special and contain reduced amounts of ink I can mostly print in B/W, and bought a cheap Brother laser printer. It cost less than the black ink for the HP and lasts 20 times as long; generic toner is about the same as an inkjet cartridge. JB I rece...

I have a 100s.
I gave up on trying to install or boot Puppy; I ended picking up an i3 Acer with a dead hard drive for $60. with the same size screen.
No problems in running any Puppy on that.
I will have another go at the 100s, it'snot a bad laptop for it's size.

I support it.
I would be lost without it, especially open library.

It is easy to have all needed software for a computer, if the operating system is already installed on the computer. If you have ever installed Windows on a freshly built computer. You would not think Windows was that good at hardware support. Last time I did that with Windows 10. It took 2 hours a...

The results depend if the cat is dead or not.

The only good thing I can say about messier is that when my wife started using it the (Line, we are in a black spot for mobile) phone bill dropped by over 2/3rds in spite of much more use.

This is all I had to do. go to the Download Windows 10 web page and click the Download tool now button. That downloads the Media Creation Tool. After the download completes, run the Media Creation Tool. You can upgrade directly using this tool, or create separate media. I have done this several time...

I still have one somewhere. I wonder if it still works.

They even get us to refuel them for free.

I gave up on it.
I don't know why, but it insisted on reducing anything I copied from emails from 10 point to 6 point with a different font.
I could set it up as I wanted on the monitor, but when I printed it was wrong.

Thanks for the advice. I had thought of using Wine, but decided if anything went wrong she would not know how to fix it. As it happens, I picked up an i7 laptop (8 gig ram, 1 tb hd) , it was supposed to be "For parts only," as it was said to stop working after a few min use. Guess which OS...

I thought that global warming was caused by all the hot air spoken by politicians.

Hi All, I have been asked to supply a laptop to a relative overseas for teaching purposes, she is a teacher. She runs this program: https://www.eeo.cn/en Does anybody know it, and can recomend an alternative which will run in Puppy, or failing that. MX, Mint, Zorin She only knows windoze, and has be...

Why should I care about it? I won't be here when it happens.
In any case, doing something about it now may mess up all my millions in investments.
