Question from Cindy:  I got a new phone yesterday. It’s a Straight Talk and I love it. I’m having a small problem with it though.

After I got it home I installed the Facebook Messenger app on it and now my friend’s faces pop up on the home screen every time they send me a message.

I don’t like that because I don’t want just anyone who happens to glance at my phone to see who I’m talking to on Facebook.

How can I turn those pop-up pictures off?  [Read more…]

Q&A: How can I stop my email from filling up with Facebook notifications?

Posted on June 29, 2021

Question from Sara:  Facebook sends dozens of email notifications every day to my email account and it’s really a pain having to delete them before I can even begin checking my email.

I’m logged into Facebook for much of the day and see most of the notifications as they come in so I don’t really need to get them via email too. Can I just turn them off altogether? Thanks!

Question from Daniel:  Hi Rick. I have a question about computer hardware.

I’m in the process of ordering parts to build a new computer.

I’ve always wanted to build one from scratch just for the experience and the satisfaction of knowing I was successful at it.

The thing is, I want make sure I really will be successful at it, which brings me to my question.

Is it safe to use a liquid CPU cooling system in a home-built computer? [Read more…]

Question from Yvonne:  I’ve started seeing those posts asking people to post their senior year photos again.

I know there’s a lot of scams and hoaxes on Facebook. Is this one of them?

I guess what I’m really asking is if it’s safe to participate in this? I really like the idea but only if it’s safe.

Q&A: I lost my phone. Can I remotely sign out of Gmail using a different device?

Posted on June 17, 2021

Question from Carrie:  I went to Costco this morning and when I got home my phone wasn’t in my purse.

I checked both my car and my apartment from one end to other and it just isn’t here.

Then I called Costco to see if anyone had found it and turned it in at the Service Desk, but they hadn’t.

I didn’t go anywhere else, just to Costco so that has to be where I lost it.

I’m not too concerned about the phone itself. It’s an older Straight Talk phone that I was planning to replace soon anyway.

The thing that worries me is my Gmail was open (I keep it that way, stupid me). I have a lot of sensitive info and photos in my emails that I really don’t want anyone else to see.

Is there a way to use my computer to remotely sign out of Gmail on the lost phone?
