If you don’t need it you can turn it off, but please have another backup strategy in place.
The issue with running out of Cloud Space is if your emails are also stored in the cloud system. Microsoft accounts like Livem, Hotmail, MSN, outlook, etc.. all use the same cloud space as OneDrive. So if you run out of space you can't send/receive emails. Google has a similar setup with photos and google drive sharing the same cloud storage although the limit is 15GB. If your email is not on the same cloud though, it won’t be affected if the cloud storage fills up.

iPhone: There is no direct way to recover your PIN on an iPhone. You will need to erase your iPhone using a computer or factory reset later phones. You will need your Apple ID and password.
Windows: If you're using a Windows PIN and have connected your device to a Microsoft account, you might see a "Forgot PIN" option on the sign-in screen. This will allow you to reset your PIN using your Microsoft account credentials. You will need your Microsoft account login details. These are general guidelines, and the specific steps might differ depending on your device and OS version. If you can provide more details about your device (phone, computer etc.) and its operating system (Android, iOS, Windows etc.), I can provide more specific instructions.

When we talk about computers and the digital world we transform data into Information which is more meaningful. Understanding the Platforms:
Nowadays they also make portable screens for laptops and you can also cast your screen to some android or ipad tablets.
I’ve been using multiple screens for years, but now I have a single 32” screen and use the Windows split screen options on the single screen. Generally, it will not void your warranty as a relatively new warranty act prevents manufacturers from insting you use their ink products. That said, if they can prove the fault is due to non-genuine ink, they can legitimately void any warranty claims.
Some ink refill sets cost as much as the entire printer, so worst case you purchase another printer - if and when you encounter problems with non-genuine inks. Other disadvantages: Some inks are guaranteed not to fade - a good thing for those treasured photos, but you will likely still have the digital to reprint if needed. Inferior Ink can lead to inconsistent and/or lower quality prints, clogged print heads, leaks and you generally have more problems trying to get a refund from faulty cartridges. Advantages are clearly costs and if you find a good supplier you will be better off in the long run. Dry your phone thoroughly:
Resist the urge to charge: While it might be tempting to try charging your phone to see if it works, wait until you're confident it's completely dry. Charging a wet phone can damage the internal components. Check the charging port: After 48 hours, use a flashlight to inspect the charging port for any remaining moisture. Try charging again: If your phone feels completely dry and there's no visible moisture, try plugging it in. If the "liquid detected" message persists, there might be internal damage. I’m getting a barrage of popups coming through from Google Chrome.

The dreaded low battery notification – it's enough to send shivers down the spine of any smartphone user. We've all been there: stuck at the gym with a dying phone, on a long journey with dwindling battery life, or facing a social situation without the comfort of our digital companion. This fear of a dead phone, often referred to as "phone battery anxiety," can be a real source of stress.
…but with a little forward planning and some quick tweaks, you can help your phone last all day on a single charge. Here are my 3 top tips: Adjust Screen Brightness: Your phone's screen is a major battery drain. Lowering the brightness can significantly improve battery life. Most phones allow for automatic brightness adjustment, but you can also manually set it to a comfortable level that's not too harsh on your eyes. Close Unused Apps: Nowadays, phones are pretty good at multitasking, so some apps running in the background can continue to consume battery power even if you're not actively using them. Make it a habit to close any apps you're finished with by swiping them away (the method will vary depending on your phone's operating system). Enable Battery Saver Mode: Most phones come with a built-in battery saver mode that reduces power consumption by limiting background activity, lowering screen brightness, and restricting certain features. While this mode might slightly hinder performance, it can significantly extend your battery life. So printing is fine so WiFi is connected - all good

Software Updates:
Sometimes updates can cause more problems initially - as they are just another version of existing software, so could have bugs themselves, but generally these things get sorted out fairly quickly and overall, the benefits far outweigh the risks of not doing them.
