How to stop your neighbours smoking weed in the garden or hogging the EV charger: Consumer lawyer DEAN DUNHAM reveals the ultimate guide to sorting ANY street dispute - from cutting trees to cleaning eyesores
The temperature is rising and with the heat comes fraying tempers, further tested if you have a gripe with your next-door neighbours. In the summer months, my inbox fills up quickly with emails from people who are frustrated, upset and often want to wage all-out war on the people who live just over the fence.

More of Us Are Putting in Extra Hours After the Workday
If it feels like there aren't enough hours to get everything done during the workday, you're part of a growing club: More of us are working a second shift in the evening. Workers slid into the habit of working at all hours during the pandemic, when many worked from home and could more freely change up their regular 9-to-5 schedules. Though fewer people are fully remote now, many are still toiling into the night—and say an expanding load of meetings, emails and actual work are a big reason.

chromeOS Flex Comes To My Rescue For Free. It Can Do The Same For You.
Convert your tired old computer into a blazing fast Chromebook. At no cost. My nine-computer odyssey started around mid-April. The Chromebook I'd been using as my everyday laptop for two years suddenly broke. So I ordered a replacement. After two days, the new machine started going bonkers – as if it was possessed. The keys looked like they were actively pressing things on the screen. At first, I assumed a key was stuck down. After closely examining the keyboard though, I realized that wasn't the issue. Assuming it was software-related, I rebooted the machine. The next day, I not only had the same issue but this time it jumped into my email program and started mass-deleting emails right before my eyes. Like in a horror movie. Which is especially odd because the email program does not allow you to do that manually. I immediately powered down the machine, only to later discover that 200-some emails had been permanently and mysteriously deleted. A Chrome expert ultimately checked the machine and suspected it was caused by a Chrome extension in the browser. Whatever. Machine No. 2 was long gone by then, back to the manufacturer. In desperation, I tried using a brand-new Windows 11 laptop (Computer 3). Haven't used Windows in a decade and was quickly reminded why. It took two or three steps to accomplish anything that takes one step on a Chromebook. That doesn't sound like a big deal, until you're doing these steps every day all day. It adds up quickly. So I returned the laptop. I then converted my son's old Windows laptop (Computer 4) to a Chromebook by installing chromeOS flex on it. This is a free program that I encourage anyone to try who is about to throw out an old Windows or Mac machine. It will revive the computer into a fast, useful existence. Well, most of the time. The laptop soon started doing the same thing as the other machine – with the uncontrollable cursor. But this time the cause was a cracked screen. Apparently the computer misinterpreted the screen crack as me pressing down on the touchscreen, which would override where I was trying to place the cursor. So I wiped the PC clean and donated it. Then a friend graciously volunteered to give me two old Macs (Computers 5 and 6) to convert to chromeOS flex. I'd done it once before for a Macbook Pro, and it worked great. But for these two machines, it failed. The Macbook Air didn't have enough memory to support the job, while the iMac was able to take the software but it had no Bluetooth and another broken internal part. Six machines down, at this point. I borrowed my wife's Chromebook (Computer 7) for just a week, and vowed to just go buy a new model (Computer 8). I did, and even though it was billed as an upscale model, I found the screen to be simply awful. To make matters worse, every video loaded up super slow. Returned it. And then finally, my same friend found an old laptop (Computer 9) at his office that had gone unused the last few years. I was able to install chromeOS flex on that and it's been a winner. In fact, I think it works better than any of the actual Chromebooks I've used through time. Maybe because its specs are better. This one is a keeper. Which is why I'm a huge advocate of chromeOS flex. Converting your old machine is fast and easy. Seriously it does all the work, taking about five minutes to remove everything off your old machine and install a cloud-based operating system that's secure and easy to manage. As Google points out in its marketing of the software, it's a great way to breathe new life into your existing devices. Once it's installed, you'll be able to boot up your machine in six seconds. It performs automatic background updates, and it won't slow down over time. You'll be astounded at how your old laptop that could barely get on the web is suddenly surfing through like a brand new, high-end machine. As I found out, not every machine is compatible with it but most are. You can even try it on your old machine before permanently installing it.
