When technology suddenly feels confusing

Ben from Easy Fix Tech Support | Christchurch

You’re not alone if your computer, phone, TV or Wi-Fi doesn’t behave the way it used to. Technology changes often, and it isn’t always explained very well.

A few simple things that genuinely help:

• Computers: use Restart, rather than just turning them off
• Phones and tablets: hold the power button and choose Restart
• TVs and Wi-Fi boxes: turn them off at the wall for 30 seconds, then back on
• If something suddenly looks or works differently, it may have updated and nothing is broken
• It’s okay to take notes or write things down

This isn’t your fault. Technology often changes without telling you.

If you’ve tried the basics and it’s still not right, that’s okay too.

Easy Fix Tech Support helps people around Christchurch with everyday tech issues in a calm and patient way, focusing on making things easier to use.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬
