Do this to prevent your Facebook account from getting cloned

Posted on November 1, 2023

Substack…

By now you probably know that Facebook accounts are getting cloned by scammers right and left these days.

Luckily, having a scammer clone your account isn’t as bad as having someone hack into it, but it’s still bad – especially for the people on your friends list.

In case you’re unfamiliar with account cloning, it’s where a scammer creates a completely new Facebook account in your name and populates it with photos and personal information they’ve copied from your real account.

They then use the new fake account to send friend requests to all the people on your real account’s friends list.  [Read more…]

Posted on October 31, 2023

Q&A: How do I change the default photos app in Windows 11?

Posted on October 29, 2023

Question from KellyAnne:  I just bought a new computer with Windows 11 on it.

One of the first things I did while setting it up was install FastStone Image Viewer on it because that’s what I used on my old Windows 10 computer, and I love it.

The problem I’m having is every time I try to view a photo it opens in the Photos app (which I hate) instead of FastStone.

How can I make my pictures open in FastStone Image Viewer?  [Read more…]
