I have Outlook 2016 on both my laptops. How can I automatically sync sent emails from one laptop to the other?

Our one year old Dell laptop has a wireless download speed of 170Mbps. My new HP laptop has a download speed of 57Mbps. They are literally setting side by side with both laptops plugged in 10 feet in direct line of sight with the modem.

In other Chromebooks, holding down Escape plus the Refresh key while tapping the Power button starts the Chromebook in the developer mode. On my C300M, it goes straight to the password logon screen.

I need to get into the developer mode to load Crouton to install Ubuntu on my Chromebook. I've done this several times on my other chromebook, but Escape + Refresh + Power key doesn't work on this laptop.

I have a spreadsheet with all fifty states listed with about 10 rows of data per state. I need to sum these individual state data into cumulative US data? For example, I need to sum B21, B31, B41, etc. Then sum, B22, B32, B42, etc. Is there an easy way to do this?

I just bought a new Yuasa battery for my Kawasaki Versys, but I'm unsure how to charge it. First, I add the acid, seal it, and connect the charger, but then it calls for charging at 1.2 amps for 5-10 hours. I don't have a 1.2 amp charger.

The reviews of this battery were good EXCEPT some people destroyed the battery by charging it too fast, so I don't want to mess this part up.

The instructions say, " If you are using an automatic type taper charger, check to make sure the charger amps is equal to or greater than the standard charging method (i.e., 1.2 amps). I have a Black and Decker smart fully automatic battery charger (Model #BC40EB) that charges at 4/10/2040 amps. I sounds like this will work. Will it?

Or I could just buy a 1.5 amp maintenance charger with auto shut off. I could use it for the tractor after this application.

I had my car AC serviced about a month ago. Recently, it started making a harmonic sound. The sound occurs every minute or so once the AC has been on for a while. It lasts about 2-3 seconds. It like a horn, starting loud and then slowing fading out. The sound even continues for 2-3 seconds after the car engine is turned off. I describe the sound as a bit like a low pitched horn or the sound you'd hear from the harmonics when a house hot water line is vibrating. That's why I called it a harmonic.

The sound is not very noticeable at the compressor.

The AC low pressure line reads 25psi. The car is a 2000 Subaru Legacy 4 cylinder. When it making the sound, the AC line vibrates from the compressor to the evaporator to the receiver/dryer.

Over 20mph or into headwinds, I can't hear at all on my bike. I've tried ear plugs, ear headbands, cotton... nothing works. Yesterday, I took off my helmet briefly. Wow! What a difference! The wind noise is coming from the vents in the helmet, not from wind hitting my ears.

I'm not going to ride in a full face or aero helmet with no vents. I've tried the slipstreamz, but as I said, it's not noise from the wind hitting the ears, it's wind through the helmet vents. Can anyone recommend a helmet that's a quiet as riding helmetless?

I just ordered a HP 17.3" 17-e016dx laptop with MD A8-5550M accelerated processor and 4GB of ram with Windows 8. I plan to immediately upgrade to Windows 8.1. Here's what I plan to do. My question is am I leaving anything out or doing anything in the wrong order?

1. Boot up, register, download all updates to Windows 8.

2. Go to app store, download and install Windows 8.1.

3. Install antivirus software.

4. Install other software.

Every time I've gotten a windows computer, it started out okay and then got slower and slower.

I'm reloading Windows 7 to factory settings and I want to keep this laptop as fast as possible. I want it to boot up fast, shut down fast, and load web pages fast. I will use this computer ONLY for stock market trading and a handful of related stock market websites... period. I will NOT check email on this machine.

It's a Lenovo E430 with i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB HD, and a 16GB SSD.

I have a second laptop that I plan to use for email, surfing the web, music, etc.

Do I need an antivirus software program, for example?

I've sent an ebook to my friend's Yahoo email on her 2nd Gen iPad. She gets the email and tries to click on the file name to open it, but it won't open. What should she do?

IMPORTANT: The book is in EPUB format. I can email it to myself and open it in Windows, Linux, and Android, so the problem isn't the file.

Under the old format, you could search yahoo answers for a key word and then choose question status from a drop down box on the left side to search for only open, in voting, or resolved questions.

I like to answer open questions, but I can't find them now. For a while, I could access the old format through Yahoo Answers Canada, but they seem to have gone to the new format as well.

Searching for newest doesn't work well either, since most of the questions are a couple of weeks old and already resolved.

My neighbor has several hundred saved emails and lots of contacts on his comcast.net email account. Until now, he as NOT used an email program. He just checks his email on the comcast.net website.

Now, he wants to switch to Thunderbird. How can he transfer all these old emails to his Thunderbird software program?

All his contacts are also on the comcast website. How can he transfer the contacts he has saved on Comcast?

I've reached the point where I could cut cable entirely... if I could find a way to get FNC. The wife likes to watch Fox News. (I could care less.) What's the cheapest way to get this one channel? Is there some way to get it online? I can get everything I want to watch online, but I'm paying $100-ish/month to Directv when the only thing I can't get free online is FNC.

So, what's the best way to do this? Online? If so, how? Dish. Directv. Cable? Some other provider? What?

Don't suggest not watching what the wife wants to watch. I've been married 40 years. That won't work!!

My neighbor has a HP m7557c desktop computer with Windows XP. On boot, it just shows lines of zeros like this... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00. Eventually, it will move past that screen to another screen of mostly gibberish. I'd like to know what the problem is, but that's NOT the main question here.

How can I remove the files from this machine? I've used PartedMagic's linux program to find the files on the hard drive. They are apparently okay, but I can't get it to recognize the SD card. I'd like to burn a program to ISO DVD so I can boot up this computer and download his pictures and files to SD card or USB thumb drive.

My neighbor has a HP Pavilion m7557c computer with Windows XP and (I think) a Radeon GeForce 5760 graphics card. On boot up, the screen shows nothing but lines of zeros like this "00 00 00 00 00"

Eventually, it boots past that screen, but it only shows gibberish... random letters and numbers. There may be a partial line of text, but it will be interspersed with gibberish. It seems to me the most likely problem is 1) video card 2) motherboard 3) hard drive 4) virus.

What is the problem and is it worth fixing or should he just get another computer?

I have a loner bike with Sram Apex components. I'd like switch out the wheelset, but my bike has Shimano 105 components. Can I use a Sram rear derailleur on a Shimano cassette?

I'm tired of monthly cable/satellite TV bills. I'd like to get an over the air antenna for local channels and watch movies on Netflix/Hulu. The only snag is my wife wants to watch FNN. I can't seem to find FNN online without have to sign in with my cable/satellite service provider, which defeats the purpose. I want to get rid of those monthly expenses.

How can I get FNN without cable or satellite?

When I sit on my second floor deck, I get bit by no see ums... biting midges. I don't want to spray myself head to toe in poisonous DEET every day and I don't want to wear long pants and shirts in the summer. I'd prefer some repellent... a candle, a torch, a plant, or a natural spray, but any solution would be helpful.

I'd like to monitor several classified ad pages for changes that include specific words (the item I'm looking for). I've found services that monitor web pages for changes, but these pages change every few minutes so that service wouldn't work. It's not Craigslist. It's an online forum. Any ideas on how to do this?

What exactly is this cut that is being discussed? Employees pay 7.65% payroll taxes; employers match that 7.65%. Are payroll taxes being cut for the employee, employer, or both... and by how much? 2%? 1%? I don't want political comments. Just explain what specifically has been cut and by how much and how long this new "extension" will last. Thanks
