I was dumbfounded when Charles wrote to ask a question about GasBuddy. I knew I had written about that in the past. So, I looked in my files for the article so I could send it to him. I could not find one as I apparently have never talked about it before. So off we…
As a follow-up to the last time when we looked at Google Photos due to the number of emails I received, we will continue this week. We will look at a few more of them that may surprise you. First, how about grouping all of your friends and family by face. So if you need…
OK, before some of you write me this week asking why I am pushing a Google product again let me head off your questions. No, I do not own Google stock, I am not paid by them, I do not have any ties to the tech-giant, I have never received a kickback or even a…
You know over the years I have been asked why I do not write about games that I like to play. There are a couple of reasons. One is that I do not have a lot of time to play games often and when I do I stick to my two or three favorites. Another reason is that my favorite games are most likely boring to people; however, today I will come out of my shell.

This column bothers me. Basically, because it did not even come close to turning out the way I thought it would. I wrote about network speeds the first of this year as I get questions regarding the topic often. However, a question to me from Jessica recently got me to test something I had not…
About five years ago I wrote an article similar to this one but over time things change. More importantly than the changes is that you all write to me. I am often asked something similar to, “What is your favorite browser?” or “What is the most popular browser today?” So today I thought we would…
In today’s digital world we are threatened daily online. There are viruses to destroy our devices, malware to get our usernames, passwords, other information, ransomware to lock up your files and then charge you lots of money to unlock it again. The same problems could be running on your smartphone. If you are one of…
OK, today I am going to tackle a question about smart phones that may make some of you upset with me; although, I will try and be gentle. I am regularly asked why I prefer Android phones over iPhones. First, the main reason I prefer Android phones is that was the first type of smartphone…
I have people often write to ask, “How can I keep my files safe from _________?” You can fill in the blank with one or more words. For instance, “total hard drive failure,” “accidental deletion,” “theft of my computer,” or one of the worst, “ransomware.” The word for today to combat those adversaries is, “Backup.”…
Since 2014 I have written about and several times mentioned a browser add-on called Mighty Text (mightytext.net). Then just this last March, I wrote about another one called TextTo (textto.io) which is now known as Send Leap (sendleap.com). They both continue to function well; however, there is another and possibly better kid on the block….
