When technology suddenly feels confusing
You’re not alone if your computer, phone, TV or Wi-Fi doesn’t behave the way it used to. Technology changes often, and it isn’t always explained very well.
A few simple things that genuinely help:
• Computers: use Restart, rather than just turning them off
• Phones and tablets: hold the power button and choose Restart
• TVs and Wi-Fi boxes: turn them off at the wall for 30 seconds, then back on
• If something suddenly looks or works differently, it may have updated and nothing is broken
• It’s okay to take notes or write things down
This isn’t your fault. Technology often changes without telling you.
If you’ve tried the basics and it’s still not right, that’s okay too.
Easy Fix Tech Support helps people around Christchurch with everyday tech issues in a calm and patient way, focusing on making things easier to use.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
