Schedule text messages to be sent at a later time with your Android phone

Posted on November 11, 2019

Have you ever wished you could schedule a text message to be sent at a future date and time?

I have, and there are plenty of situations where such a capability would come in handy.

For example, let’s say you have a friend whose birthday is coming up in a few days and you want to make sure you don’t forget to send him a “Happy Birthday” text.

Or perhaps you need to remind your wife about an upcoming doctor appointment but you’re afraid you might forget about it yourself before the appointment date arrives.  [Read more…]

Q&A: Did I just trash my laptop?

Posted on November 8, 2019

dell-inspiron-14zQuestion from George.:  I think I might have messed up big time Rick, and I’m hoping you can help me.

I ordered new RAM for my old (but beloved) Dell Inspiron 14z laptop, and when it arrived I was so excited that I absent-mindedly tried to install it without shutting the system down.

Dummy me, I removed the battery but forgot to shut the system down or unplug the charger. As soon as I inserted the first of new RAM stick I saw a spark. My heart just sank.

Now the computer won’t turn on. No lights, no sound, and the screen stays black when I press the power button. I tried re-installing the original RAM and even tried a hard reset. Nothing works.

I know the battery and charger are working because I tried them with my wife’s laptop (they are the same exact model).

Is there something else I can try, or is my laptop toast? I’m hoping it’s a simple fix because the warranty ran out a LONG time ago.
