BT is continuing to forge ahead with plans to switch off all landline communcation by 2025. While many younger readers may barely know what a landline is, there will still be those of us that still use a phone attached to the wall at home sometimes - even if only to ring the mobile to find out where you left it! For anyone that is still using one as a matter of course, the landline's days are numbered...

Recent research by W³techs has revealed what powers the top websites in the world. Unsurprisingly, Wordpress was the clear leader. However, the data did contain a few surprises. We take a look at what the research reveals.

Back in July last year, we wrote an article covering the government's proposed plan to impose age verification checks on all adult websites. These checks were originally supposed to come into force around about now. Unsurprisingly, things haven't gone quite to plan...

We've all been there - you're right in the middle of something very important, and then Windows decides that it's a great time to update your PC. While disabling updates entirely is hugely inadvisable (and very difficult by design), it is possible to get Windows to try to apply at more convenient moments. This month's HowTo delves into the Windows 10 update options.

While the SSD drives that are supplied as standard with most devices these days are great at speeding up loading times compared to the bulky magnetic drives, they do currently tend to be a lot smaller. While storing your files on network file shares or cloud services like Dropbox or OneDrive can help to take the strain off of your own device, it's all too easy to fill it up anyway. Our HowTo this month will demonstrate some steps you can take to try and free up some space.

Microsoft have unsurprisingly announced that there will be a new version of their Office suite launched this year. This new version will start rolling out to early adopters soon, with everyone else getting it a few months later. However, those not using Windows 10 will be out of luck...

Users of Microsoft's Windows 10 will now be getting used to the twice-yearly "feature" updates to the operating system. The next of these is due to be released very soon, so we're going to take a look at what new features you can expect to see once you've received the new update.

BT have recently revealed two new broadband packages - Ultrafast 1 & 2.

We emailed our mailing list with an additional email last month covering the breaking news about a flaw found in almost all Intel chips (and others) that has huge security implications for pretty much everyone that uses any device - PC, Mac, phone or tablet. Now the dust has begun to settle following the initial disclosure, we take another look at this flaw and what it means for us all.

One request we get a lot is to work out why an email bounced back. This month's HowTo guide will explain how go about doing this, and will hopefully help you next time you receive a bounceback and want to know what has gone wrong.
