Question from George:  I know your site is mostly about computers but I hope you can answer a question about my audio gear.

I have an older Sony stereo system that I’d love to connect some Bluetooth speakers and headphones to.

How (and when) to repair or reset the Windows 11 Settings app

Posted on June 5, 2024
