Today’s quick tech tip….
Could this be the handiest tool on the web?
It’s a good bet that you know how to convert feet to inches, kilometers to miles and quarts to gallons, but could you convert acres to square feet or milliseconds to hours should the need ever arise? Yeah, me neither.
But guess what? There’s an incredibly handy web-based tool that will instantly convert almost any unit of measure the average person could possibly ever need to use to another one.
Just select the appropriate tool from the list and enter the number corresponding to the known unit. It really is that simple.
I recommend that you visit Unitconverters.net and check it out (and be sure to bookmark it for future use).

Rick’s Daily Pick…
Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station (#ad)
Battery backup devices are great for protecting your computer and other electronic gadgets from damage caused by power interruptions and keeping them up and running long enough to shut them down gracefully, and I strongly recommend keeping your equipment plugged into one of them.
But what if you need to keep your gear running for hours instead of minutes during power outages? Well, you need this.
