Computer Buddies Hoole

27/05/2026

Is your computer fan screaming for mercy in this heat? It probably needs an internal clean.
Dust build-up and blocked airflow cause:
• Overheating
• Loud fan noise
• Slow performance
• Random shutdowns
• Shorter component life
A proper clean can drop internal temps significantly and quieten things down fast.
Pop into Computer Buddies in Hoole. No appointment needed. 🌡️
(Your fan right now: "I'd like to speak to HR about my working conditions.")

We’ve had a couple of people pop in today after their Yahoo emails suddenly stopped sending or receiving.

The issue appears to be that their mailbox storage has hit the limit. Yahoo reduced mailbox sizes to 15GB for UK users (and other regions) yesterday, 5th May.

A lot of people may not even realise this has happened yet.

Here’s a Yahoo help article showing how to clear space and get things working again:

Hotmail / Outlook updates for the outage here

27/04/2026

Lots of people are getting in touch about Microsoft Hotmail / Outlook acting up right now.

You might see:

* Password prompts out of nowhere
* Emails not sending or coming through
* Things working one minute, then not the next

This isn’t an issue with your device. It’s a Microsoft-side problem.

Best thing you can do is sit tight while they sort it 👍
