Todays technology and you

It really gets to me. For ages you have been using some computer program or whatever, and or some modern system. Then suddenly the screen is different. The more you try to fathom it out, the deeper you get in the proverbial mire. Whate ever happened to the saying. If it aint broken then don't try fixing it.

I have just tried finding out how many Nectar points I have. I could of course wait until I'm allowed out, and go into Sainsbury's. I am far from happy with the latter. They refused to add me to their list ov vulnerable people, despite me providing my Gov. Ref numbers. On line. Nectar want to know the ins and outs of so much. I am already registered and have been since the system began.
Then these businesses who require a password. Then insist it has to contain so many words. So many upper and lower class letters, and x number of numbers. GRRRRRRRRR!!

 

I've got some nectar points, dont bother with them anymore, still get emails but dont go anywhere that gives them out. Only used to get them at the BP garage, then they dropped nectar and come up with their own card, so got that now but rarely use BP anymore.

Last year I had 15 £5 morrisons vouchers, that I had saved all year, to spend at Christmas.
Despite still going there as usual I only have 3 up till now this year.
Racket or what?

 

How much is 500 green shield stamps worth, and can I convert them to S&H pink stamps.

 

Oh the good old days Pete.

 

Todays technology and me... just bought 2 Echo Dots,dont know what to do with them , but as they were only 99p couldnt resist.
Does Alexa "do" gardening

 

I've had a new touch screen Kindle (generation 10) since June and I'm still trying to get my head round downloading and locating books on it. My old one (generation 3) was much easier.

 

We have just bought a new tumble dryer, to replace the old Creda dryer which must be 35 years old. It is gleaming white and full of dials,buttons and flashing lights. Plus absolutely essential you download an app and you can WiFi connect to the bloomin' thing So you can monitor the drying cycle while having a cup of coffee. This will make the winter days fly by

 

....And if you're like me you'll only use one, may be two programmes on it. My last two tumble dryers have been sensor dryers, do the sensors actually work? My next one will function by time - if they're still available.

 

I've just connected my camera to the wifi, so I can watch my pictures on my TV.

Probably get the camera hacked and find someone has emptied my bank account.

 

You have to keep up FC. Just got my zimmer frame WiFi enabled
