Posted on April 29, 2023

Pixlr does most everything I need a photo editor to do, but I need to convert a certain photo to Black and White and I can’t find that option on the menu anywhere.

Surely it must have one. Can you tell me how to find it? [Read more…]

Q&A: Which is better, Wi-FI or a wired Ethernet connection?

Posted on April 24, 2023

Question from Kalin: I really love your blog Rick, especially how you answer people’s tech questions.

I know that most of the questions you answer are practical in nature but mine is somewhat theoretical so I hope you won’t mind answering it for me.
