I don't have much sympathy for folk who haven't used a DOI. They're not catchy, but have the clear purpose of avoiding exactly this problem.

Stages of yellowrattle. Funny they exist at the same time.

External monitors sometimes supply power over USB C. Mine does 100W.
If you use a monitor, it's worth checking as you might have the answer already!

As a Derby lad, this is really sad news. I'm lucky to own a couple of (inherited) Mercians and they're great. Both going strong and the younger one is thirty years old!

Which mapping service did you use? The national library of Scotland one let's you overlay historic maps on modern satellite images: https://maps.nls.uk/ (geo-referenced maps).

Possibly daft question: I want to connect a desktop and laptop to the same monitor and peripherals. The computers are not in use at the same time and the monitor has dual inputs. Is the cheapest/easiest way to do this a USB switch with manual moving of the audio jack? A KVM seems overkill.
