I receive lots of tech questions here at Rick’s Daily Tips, and there’s one question in particular that I receive time and again:

Now when you send someone a message you have 10 minutes to change your mind and “Unsend” it if you want to. And it’s very easy to do. Just follow the steps below for the device you’re using.  [Read more…]

I’ve been using several Qinlianf 5-Outlet Surge Protector and 4-Port USB Wall Chargers in my home and office for years and I’ve recommended them several times as the featured tech gadget in my newsletter, but it just occurred to me this morning that I have never written a formal review of them.
