Every file and program on my PC now opens with Ink

After clicking something I shouldn't have, double clicking any file or shortcut tries to open it in Windows Ink. Even desktop apps. Changing default apps doesn't let me pick anything for .exe. How do I undo this?

all files open

Our office PCs need to stay on a specific Reader version for a plugin, but after the monthly Windows 11 update Reader has upgraded itself again. Is there a reliable way to turn off the Adobe updater for good?

MacBook Pro backlight is dead but I can faintly see the screen

My MacBook Pro display went dark, but if I shine a torch on it I can make out the desktop very faintly. An external monitor works fine. Is this the backlight itself, and is it worth repairing on an older model?

iPhone 12 completely dead, won't turn on even on the charger

No Apple logo, no charging symbol, nothing. Left it charging overnight with two different cables. It got a bit wet two days ago but worked fine after. Anything to try before paying for a repair?
