Q&A: Can I turn off the sound my PC makes when it starts up?

Posted on September 23, 2023

Question from Arnold:  I’m an early riser and my wife always sleeps later than I do.

When I turn my HP laptop on in the mornings the sound it makes while it’s starting up sometimes wakes her up.

I’m getting tired of her being grumpy all day when that happens.

Is there a way to turn that sound off and make the laptop boot up silently?  [Read more…]

Q&A: Why is Facebook showing the old version of a blog post after I update it?

Posted on September 22, 2023

Question from Manuel:  I have a blog with a sticky post that I update every day with a few news headlines and a new photo.

The page’s URL is the only thing that stays the same.

Q&A: Do nano USB WiFi adapters work as well as larger ones?

Question from Alexis:  Hi, Rick. I need to buy a USB WiFi adapter for my computer and I’d really like to use one of the small “nano” adapters like this one.

I really like those because they don’t stick out from the computer very much. I’m always afraid I’ll catch it on something and break it.

The thing is, I’ve heard that the small size might keep it from working as well as a full size adapter that has a long antenna. Is that something I need to worry about?  [Read more…]
