Daniel Shuttleworth studied Advanced Information Communication Technology and has spent more than 20 years working out why consumer tech misbehaves — from an Amiga 600 and a VHS deck through to whatever Xbox and Samsung shipped this year. He writes The Tech Cell from Sylvan Lake, Alberta, and checks every step against the vendor's current documentation before it goes out, because the menu that worked last spring has usually moved.

How we work

Every step checked before it reaches you.

Menus move, settings get renamed and features quietly disappear. So each guide is written against the vendor's current documentation rather than from memory, and says plainly when a fix depends on your version.
