For years, Mac owners were led to believe that their computers were immune from malware infections.
In fact, if you asked them for an opinion on the best antivirus protection, chances are the response would be “Buy a Mac”.
But truth be told, Macs were never “immune” from catching malware at all. [Read more…]

Question from Shruti: Hi, Rick. I hope you’re doing well.
I have a Dell XPS 13 9370 Ultrabook. Everything was fine until this morning when my screen just turned grey-ish black.
I had dropped my laptop and slightly cracked the top right edge of the screen along with one of the hinges a few months back but everything seemed to still be working fine.
I don’t know why this suddenly happened.
I have important data on this machine so I’d like to know if there is any way to retrieve the data without fixing the screen? [Read more…]

A while back I wrote a post that explains how to add super-fast USB 3.0 ports to an older PC, and that post seemed to resonate with lots of folks.
Well, a lot has changed since then…
Now you can add five much faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports to your desktop computer for about what you’d pay for a really good pizza.
Whether you have a Windows desktop PC or a Mac desktop, the procedure is basically the same as long as your machine has an open PCIe expansion slot. And it’s easy…
Simply purchase this 5 Port SB 3.2 Gen 2 adapter card and install it into the empty slot.
If you have a Mac running a recent version of macOS you won’t even have to install a driver for the adapter card.
Windows users will be able to download the latest driver directly from the manufacturer’s website.
Just to clarify, this card will not work in a laptop. However, it will work with any desktop computer that has a compatible (and currently unused) PCIe expansion slot.
If you thought your external USB hard drive or other device was fast, you’ll be completely blown away when you first plug a USB 3.2 Gen 2 device into this expansion card!
Scams and hoaxes of all types pop up every day on Facebook, and some of them have a habit of rearing their ugly heads time and time again.
These recurring hoaxes are often more annoying than dangerous, but it’s still good to avoid them whenever possible.
I have received several messages over the past few days asking about the legitimacy of a recurring hoax that’s currently making the rounds again. [Read more…]
