Amazon’s PartFinder tool will tell you if a computer part will work with your computer

Posted on April 29, 2019

(#ad)

By now you probably know that upgrading your computer’s RAM, adding a stand-alone graphics adapter or replacing the hard drive with an SSD can make it run faster and more smoothly.

But if you’ve ever actually shopped for computer parts you probably also know how difficult it can be to determine whether a given part is compatible with your particular computer.

All the info you need to make that determination is available on the Internet (and in many cases right in the product’s item description), but unless you’re very familiar with computer hardware it can be difficult to figure out which info is even relevant to the determination.

Warning: Don’t buy a Windows 10 device that has just 32GB of storage space!

Posted on April 26, 2019

If you’re shopping for a budget PC or tablet with Windows 10 on it you’ll find plenty of them that come with just 32GB of storage space.

In fact, I’ve reviewed several such low-cost Windows 10 devices on this blog in the past.

And I must say that some of those reviews were glowing.

Instantly retrieve a forgotten Wi-Fi password from your PC with WirelessKeyView

Posted on April 17, 2019

When most folks set up a wireless router they create a secure Wi-Fi network that’s protected by a wireless security key (commonly referred to as a “password”).

Most computers and mobile devices will “remember” the passwords for each of the wireless networks they connect to, allowing the device to automatically connect to a network whenever the device comes into range.

Windows 10 users no longer have to ‘Eject’ removable drives before disconnecting them

Posted on April 8, 2019

If you’re a Windows user you’re probably very familiar with the need to “Eject” your removable drives before disconnecting them from your PC.

In the past Microsoft has always cached the data written to removable media to make the system run a little faster.

That meant we had to “Eject” a removable drive before disconnecting it from the PC to prevent losing any cached, but unwritten data and possibly corrupting the drive’s file system.

How to prevent Twitter from showing ‘Best Tweets’ in your Timeline

Posted on March 24, 2019

twitter-logoIf you use Twitter you’ve probably noticed that they’ve started displaying “Best Tweets” at the top of your Timeline when you log in.

These “Best Tweets” are selected by an algorithm similar to the one Facebook uses to select the “Top Stories” you see on there.

Personally, I don’t much care for “Best Tweets” or “Top Stories”.

I’d much rather have everything show up in my Timeline in reverse chronological order and decide for myself which tweets and posts are the best.

If you feel that way too, a simple settings change will prevent those so-called “Best Tweets” from taking over your Timeline. Just follow these steps:  [Read more…]
