    MS Edge on Android - Lost Access to Photos

    It’s actually a very simple fix. Just go to your App settings and scroll to Microsoft Edge. Make sure you authorize access to photos and anything else you think Edge may need access to.

    Got the Hyundai home

    We purchased a 1999 Elantra new from the dealership and it served our family well for 18+ years. For us, using only Hyundai ATF seemed to make a huge difference in transmission performance.

    Which AntiVirus is best?

    Another suggestion would be to check with your Internet provider as they may provide a family license for one of the major players for free as part of your service package.

    How to install GnuCash on Mint MATE?

    Garak gave the correct answer. I've got a few related questions / comments for the posters in this thread. Back around the late 1990's I was running Linux exclusively on our computers, using Suse, Redhat and later Fedora, Ubuntu and sometimes Mint. I was fairly active in several Linux forums...

    Bad alternator???

    I had the battery light problem recently with my F150. It ended up being the pigtail that connects to the alternator. 10.00 for a new connector and no problems since so it is good to check your cable connections and grounds as well.

    safest place to buy a used Ipad 2 (16g wifi)

    I've had great success with eBay using my PayPal account. What I did was to browse the listings carefully looking for private owner listings claiming lightly used units with no scratches that were always (as an example) used with a screen protector and inside the factory case. Here are some...

    Pennzoil Ultra on closeout, is it worth hoarding?

    Hmmm. Wal-Mart waited 11 hours and then sent me 11 email messages canceling each quart separately.

    Pennzoil Ultra on closeout, is it worth hoarding?

    I just took cat843's advice and checked a bunch of local Houston area Wal-Marts at random. Almost all are showing jugs at $26.97 and quarts at $7.97 with a few stores not showing any prices. One super center showed "local store only" (no pricing) for all grades and then quarts of 10W-30...

    thoughts on QS ultimate Durability

    As the others have stated, this is an excellent motor oil! I ran it recently in my 1998 F150 for a 10,000 OCI. Around 280 K miles on the engine at that time and only used one quart of makeup oil. It's hard to beat the value on this one.
