Q&A: How do I switch from the desktop site to the mobile site on Twitter?

Posted on April 20, 2018

twitter-logoQuestion from Neilen G.:  I have a fairly small 11.6 inch laptop that I carry with me when I travel (and I travel frequently for work). I’ve found that it’s the perfect size to use when I’m on a plane.

Unfortunately, I also have an issue with my vision. Nothing major, but it’s bad enough to cause problems for me at times.

I usually don’t have a problem reading the screen when I’m using Twitter, but sometimes at night when my eyes are tired I find it hard to make out some of the text.

I tried typing Ctrl+ to make the text bigger but it ended up pushing some of the content off the sides of the screen.

I read somewhere that switching to the mobile Twitter site when my eyes are tired will make the text easier to read, but it didn’t give instructions for making the switch.

I guess my question is can you tell me how to switch to the Twitter mobile site on my laptop (and how to switch back when I need to)?

Q&A: Is it worthwhile to double the RAM when buying a new laptop?

Posted on April 20, 2018

Question from Ashley L:  I’m getting ready to buy a new laptop and the model I’m wanting comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM but I can add 4GB more (for 8GB total) for an extra $75.

I have two questions for you concerning the RAM options:

1 – Do you think doubling the RAM to 8GB is worth it for Windows 10?

2 – Is $75 a reasonable price to pay for an extra 4GB?

Thanks in advance for your advice. It’ll be a big help!

Q&A: How can I change the temperature back to Fahrenheit in the Windows 10 ‘Weather’ app?

Posted on April 14, 2018

Question from Micha V.:  I love the “Weather” app in Windows 10 but I seem to have messed it up somehow.

For some reason it’s started showing the current temperature in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

I must be an idiot. How can I get it switched back to Fahrenheit?

Question from Seth:  I need help with a RAM upgrade issue, Rick.

My computer came with 4GB of RAM already installed (two 2GB sticks). It has  two empty RAM slots open.

I bought two 8GB RAM sticks and installed them in the empty slots.

When I try to start up the PC with the new RAM sticks installed, I hear a beeping sound and an error message comes up on the screen.

If I remove the new RAM sticks and leave the old sticks installed the computer boots up OK.

What can be causing the computer not to boot up with the new RAM sticks installed? Thanks.

Q&A: Can I use my spare 42″ flat screen TV as a computer monitor?

Posted on April 2, 2018

lg-42-inch-tvQuestion from Nancy H.:  I just replaced the LG 42LN5400 42″ flat screen TV in my living room with a beautiful new 60″ model from Panasonic.

The LG still works great, and it has a fantastically sharp picture.

What I’d like to know is can I replace the ancient 20″ monitor that I’m using with my Gateway desktop PC with my now-spare 42″ TV? They both have HDMI ports. Thanks for your help.
