What cutting tool options do I have here?

I have to get this board cut here where I've marked it with my manual saw. My jigsaw would make light work of the MDF but it's too wide and the cut would end up too far from where I need it. I can't access it from the top. The only thing that seems to fit is a manual saw. Is there any other tool I can use to this cut happen that isn't so manual labour intensive?

Lave linge encastrable

On voit un lave-linge séchant qu'on veut mais il est encastrable. Est-ce que ca veut dire qu'on ne peut pas du tout le mettre dans un espace qui n'est pas parfaitement concu pour la taille de cette machine ou c'est juste qu'il n'a pas un extérieur en metal? On a un vide sous notre comptoir dans la cuisine concu pour lave-linge mais le comptoir lui meme est trop bas pour une machine plus haute que 82cm. Et on veut un lave-linge sechant qui semblent tous etre trop hauts. Celui ci quon voit cest parfait mais on se demandait si ca cause problemes avoir encastrable quand on ne va pas, en fait, l'encastrer.

Built in vs stand alone washer

I can get a built in washer - dryer combo that fits perfectly in the space I've got in our kitchen here in France. But the ad says its a built-in unit. Does that mean I can't buy it and place it in the gap we have?? Must all the sides and back be "finished"?

Timing seems off on my EPG

When I go back to play something from catch-up, the program listed in my EPG is fine, but when I play, it's not the right programme, so it's not lined up with my EPG. How do I figure out what that discrepancy is and why it's not lined up?

There's gotta be something better??

(This is in France)
We have our AC set up in our new apartment (ignore the moving box and general mess) like this.That window insulation kit is fine, but you can see all the insulation packing we've had to put everywhere to stop the leaks.
I don't need the same old comments about how mobile units suck, but if there is something better than this set up I'd love to hear about it.

And has anyone got a good product for insulating the exhaust hose?

Thanks!

Replacement of kitchen faucet

Our basic kitchen faucet is loose in our new place and apparently is too rusted below to tighten so since we wanted one with a sprayer anyway, we're going to get one of those instead. But not having done this before, is this expert level DIY? Or can anyone who can crouch under a sink do this?

All I know is that the guy who came to fix a few things in the flat and to have a look at it said the sink counter was relatively thin metal so I should take care to ensure I install some block that comes with the sprayer when I buy it because it will give the installation a bit more sturdiness with the thinness of the metal. He said it wasn't awful but with the moving around of the handheld part it could eventually start to bend without the block part installed. Does that all make sense? Would people recommend someone relatively good at DIY can handle this or is this best left to a plumber?

Thanks!

This is just a photo I took and added measurements to so we could buy a faucet that would fit but it gives an idea of the type of sink.

France - Free standing "cuisiniere" brands

In a 60cm wide freestanding cuisiniere, what brands are worth looking at? Electrolux and Whirlpool appear to be reasonable options but in the same price range or just above there are some Hisense models that look very nice with respect to build and features. Having gone with them for a simple LEDTV with impeccable imaging and having it be the best tv I've had since the plasmas we'd owned it's interesting to see them applying the same logic to white goods / appliances, which is to say that they offer nice features in a simple enclosure but with good guts/components.

Any thoughts?

Formuler Z11 Pro Max and recording

Does anyone else have a Formuler and uses Sparkle to record?
I have a few questions:

  1. Can you change the channel if you're recording when you have more than one connection?
  2. Can you leave the app? Will it keep recording?
  3. Does anyone have an issue where recordings simply don't get done properly? You go to play it later and it just didn't record or the file is just an error and won't play?

This is recording to a very fast USB flash drive.

Thanks for any help?

Confused about Item Names

I really don't understand something.

If I give a site an item name, and I enter the login url, most of my sites simply never get triggered to autofill the login and password. They'll say "no items to show" even though I DO have some saved. But when mI click on the applet in Edge, the ones I made WILL be highlighted. And it works when I click fill. Then if I add the "new" one that gets created, all it does is make a new one with a new item name. But then THAT one doesn't even get called up automatically next time!

I'm so confused, how does this work? Why won't it recognise the ones I made, or even the ones they had me make as new ones?

Quickest way to do this for free and maintain quality?

I need to go into some bank account statements and blur out the account numbers. I like the options I have for distorting in photoshop but I'm wondering if that's not the right tool because then in reassembling the pdf that's not the best place to do it.

Thanks
