Review (Update): Vevor 3000W 24VDC to 120VAC Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Posted on May 27, 2024

Important update: I installed this inverter a little over a year ago and all was well until early last week.

All of a sudden the inverter started beeping and shutting down at random times. A quick check revealed that the fan had stopped operating, causing the unit to over-heat.

This was quite unexpected because, as I mentioned in the initial review, the device had always remained cool to the touch and the fan rarely turned on at all during normal operation.

Long story short, this device developed a serious issue shortly after the warranty had expired. For that reason, I can no longer recommend it since it failed even though it was never forced to operate under a heavy load.

How to ‘Unfollow’ someone on X without really unfollowing them

Posted on May 27, 2024

A while back I wrote this post explaining how to “Unfriend” someone on Facebook without really unfriending him/her.

Well, several people read that post and then asked me if it’s possible to do the same thing on X.

Q&A: Why is Microsoft Defender not working?

Posted on May 24, 2024

Question from Ellis:  My new computer came with the trial version of McAfee Antivirus preinstalled and I ended up not liking it.

I uninstalled it from my computer last night and now I can’t get Microsoft Defender to start up.

Is there something else I need to do besides just uninstalling the McAfee program?  [Read more…]

Q&A: How do I force my iPhone to restart when it freezes up?

Posted on May 24, 2024

Question from Sherry:  My iPhone hangs up on me about once a week.

By hangs up I mean it just stops responding to taps, swipes or button presses. In other words, it just freezes up, and it does it at random times.

The only way to get the phone to work again is to let the battery die completely since I can’t remove the battery like I did when my Android phones would hang up.

Is there a way to force an iPhone to shut down or restart without having to kill the battery?  [Read more…]
