Q&A: Can I block the posts from a Facebook page that I ‘Liked’?

Posted on May 28, 2023

Question from Anita:  I have a very dear friend who recently put up a Facebook page for her business. She asked me to “Like” her page, and I did.

Now I receive at least a dozen posts from her page in my news feed every day, and to be honest I have no interest whatsoever in the things she is selling.

Is there any way to block the posts from her page without having to “Unlike” it? I care very much about this person and I really don’t want to hurt her feelings if I can help it.

Scam alert: Beware the hoax phrase “It Actually Worked” on Facebook

Posted on May 27, 2023

If you’ve had a Facebook account for more than five minutes you’re probably aware that scams and hoaxes abound on there.

While the scams can be incredibly dangerous, the hoaxes are usually merely irritating instead of being truly harmful.

The thing is, the irritation these hoaxes cause can become quite intense when the same hoaxes keep popping up over and over again.

Luckily, most of the hoaxes that pop up and make the rounds on Facebook include at least one phrase that’s always a dead-giveaway that the post is a hoax.  [Read more…]

Q&A: How can I make the text bigger on my iPhone?

Posted on May 27, 2023

Question from Carol:  Hi, Rick. I hope you’re doing well. I need your help with a problem I’m having if you don’t mind.

I had a stroke a little over a year ago and it affected my eyesight. My recovery went well and I’m doing a lot better, but I still don’t see nearly as well as I used to.

One of the biggest problems I have is reading the text on my iPhone. It would help a lot if I could make the letters bigger.

Can you tell me if that’s possible and how to change it if it is? [Read more…]

Create a screensaver slideshow of your favorite photos on Windows 11

Posted on May 26, 2023

If you’re old enough to remember using the bulky CRT-style computer monitors of times past, you’re probably also familiar with screensavers, those always-in-motion images that kept the screen from “burning-in” while the computer was sitting idle.

Now that we’ve transitioned from CRT monitors to modern flat-screen monitors we no longer have a need for screensavers.

But guess what? Microsoft Windows still offers the option of launching a screensaver after a PC has been sitting idle for a few minutes.  [Read more…]

Why bloggers should mount their monitors vertically

Posted on May 26, 2023

Note: The links in this post are affiliate links.

If you’re a blogger you probably get frustrated by all the scrolling you have to do while you’re busily writing a post.

Remember how you have to keep scrolling up to access the editor’s menus and then scrolling back down to continue writing your post?

Yeah, I hate it too!

Having a vertically-mounted monitor makes the task of writing blog posts so much easier than using a monitor that’s mounted horizontally.
