Monthly Tech Giveaway….
Long-time subscribers to my daily Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter will remember that I used to feature a monthly Tech Gadget Giveaway that all active subscribers were eligible to win.
I ended up having to suspend that giveaway due to the onset of the Covid pandemic, but now is the time to bring it back – better than ever.
The prizes featured in the new giveaway will include a combination of items I received for testing and review and brand new items that will provided directly by partner companies.
Winners will be selected at random. All Standard subscribers have an equal chance to win. All Premium subscribers have two chances (their email addresses are added to the pot twice).

Today’s featured tech tip….
Use a PC while someone is sleeping in the same room? Try this.
Do you frequently use your Windows 10 PC at night while someone else is trying to sleep in the same room?
If so, chances are the bright light emitted from the screen makes it difficult for them to fall asleep.
Turning on ‘Dark Mode’ can help by forcing the screen to emit a lot less light into the room. Here’s how to enable it:
1 – Right-click the Start button and select Settings from the menu.
2 – In the left-hand pane, click Personalization.
3 – In the right-hand pane, click Colors.
4 – Click inside the box in the “Choose your mode” field and select the Dark option.
That’s all there is to it. Your screen should now be emitting a lot less light than it did before.
To disable ‘Dark Mode’ simply repeat the steps above and select the Light option when you get to step #4.
