TRISTAN is looking for a good budget laptop for his stepson ($300-500 range ). Any suggestions?


Take a look at the Dell Inspiron 14. It costs just $499 and comes with solid specifications . . .

  • 14-inch touch screen LCD

  • 11th generation Intel Core i5 (4.40 GHz)

  • Windows 11 Home

  • 512GB solid state drive

  • 8GB memory (RAM)

ISABELLA wants to use Surfshark VPN to watch shows on BBC iPlayer. She purchased a subscription and downloaded the Surfshark app. What does she need to do now?


You have already done the hardest part. All you have to do now is (1) launch the app, (2) choose a VPN based in the U.K., and then (3) launch BBC iPlayer to watch the show.


The Surfshark suport page is HERE.



Anyone else interested in a VPN can get a great deal on Surfshark courtesy of YouTubers Kara and Nate. Click HERE for the details.

ROBERT has a box of VHS tapes that he would like to burn to DVD. Since he is recently retired, he would like to do it himself. He already has an LG VHS player and a Panasonic DVD recorder. How should he connect the two?


ROBERT sent me a picture and it looks like he already has everything he needs. Here are the basic steps . . .

  1. Grab the composite cable (red/yellow/white). It is also known as an RCA cable.

  2. Connect one end to the VHS player (output) and the other end to the DVD recorder (input).

  3. Turn both devices on. Insert the VHS tape and DVD.

  4. Press record on the DVD recorder.

  5. Press play on the VHS player.

It should work. If you have any problems, then I recommend that you download and consult the User Manual for that recorder. Unfortunately, there is no longer any technical support. Panasonic discontinued that recorder years ago.
