Google's "Project Zero" releases information about thousands of hacked iPhones due to a security flaw that was patched in February.  Apple promises to stop listening to your Siri conversations; the new policy is "opt-in" only.  A user with a refurbished Dell laptop wonders if it can be repaired.  We offer suggestions on a new computer: an i5 or better Intel processor with 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Solid State hard drive or 1 terabyte traditional hard drive.  A user with a new Windows 10 desktop wonders why he gets logged out of websites when he wants to stay logged in.  Also, he wonders why he is unable to connect to websites.  A listener has problems getting  articles to appear on his older Samsung tablet, plus has Internet speed issues.  A user has problems with a Yahoo e-mail address/user name  and his eBay payments.  A user with a seven-year-old iPad 2 is unable to use certain applications after performing an update to the operating system.
