Monthly Tech Giveaway….
Long-time subscribers to my daily Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter will remember that I used to feature a monthly Tech Gadget Giveaway that all active subscribers were eligible to win.
I ended up having to suspend that giveaway due to the onset of the Covid pandemic, but now is the time to bring it back – better than ever.
The prizes featured in the new giveaway will include a combination of items I received for testing and review and brand new items that will provided directly by partner companies.
Winners will be selected at random. All Standard subscribers have an equal chance to win. All Premium subscribers have two chances (their email addresses are added to the pot twice).

Today’s featured tech tip….
Save big at Apple’s Education Store (if you qualify)
Are you a current or newly accepted college student? Are you the parent of one?
How about a faculty or staff member or a homeschool teacher of any grade level?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes that means you qualify to purchase a new Mac or iPad from the Apple Education Store and save some serious cash on the deal.
This is a great way to save on that new Apple machine that you’ve been planning to buy anyway – if you qualify of course.
If you’re unsure about whether you qualify or not, Apple’s Sales and Refunds Terms and Conditions page should be able to clear it up for you.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
Ugreen USB to Audio Jack Sound Card Adapter
Do you have a laptop or desktop computer that has a bad audio adapter (or no audio adapter at all)?
Just plug this little gem into an open USB port and you’ll be able to connect any mic or speaker with a 3.5mm plug to it.
