Warning: Be careful about what you share with your Facebook friends

Posted on January 29, 2024

As you probably know, Facebook asks for some pretty sensitive information when someone signs up for an account.

For example, among other things they request our address, phone number and birthdate.

Many folks just go ahead and enter whatever info Facebook asks for without giving it a second thought, and then they make that info viewable by all of their Facebook friends.

Even worse, lots of other folks make their personal info viewable by the general public (i.e. billions of complete strangers)!

That, in my opinion, is a very bad mistake.  [Read more…]

Scam alert: Those ads for massive SSDs on Facebook are scams

Posted on January 14, 2024

If you’ve been on Facebook lately you’ve probably seen sponsored posts advertising incredibly large, but portable solid state drives (SSDs) for sale.

Oddly, these ads don’t mention a ridiculously low price as most fraudulent Facebook ads do. They simply say the drives are 50% off.

I guess they figure that “savings” plus the fact that the drive has an enormous amount of storage will be enough to draw people in.  [Read more…]

How to ‘unfriend’ someone on Facebook without really unfriending them

Posted on January 6, 2024

If you’ve been on Facebook for a while you probably have a friend or two whose posts tend to really get on your nerves.

Perhaps they sometimes use language that’s a little too salty for your taste or they tend to post a hundred status updates a day filled with meaningless drivel that you could not care less about.

The list of potential annoyances goes on and on.

Q&A: How do I change my Facebook username?

Posted on December 16, 2023

Question from Camille:  Hi, Rick. I’ve been on Facebook for several years, and now I need help.

Back when I opened my account I was very immature and chose a username that I thought was sassy and original. Now I think it’s inappropriate for someone my age.

My question is how do I change my current Facebook username to something else?  [Read more…]

Q&A: Can I prevent ‘followers’ from seeing certain photos on Facebook?

Posted on December 11, 2023

Question from Cindy:  Rick, I have several “followers” on Facebook and I’d rather they didn’t see some of my more “personal” photos.

I don’t mind followers reading my public posts, but I’d rather restrict access to certain pics to just my Facebook friends. Can I do that?  [Read more…]

Beelink SER3 Mini PC with W11 Pro

I’ve been using mini PCs exclusively in my office for over three years and I doubt if I will ever go back to a full-size or mid-size desktop computer.

The power and capabilities they pack into these things is nothing less than astounding. In a nutshell, you get full desktop power in a machine that’s about the size of a brick.

This little gem from Beelink is an exceptional value for the money in my humble opinion. It comes with an AMD Ryzen 3 3200U CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM and a super-fast 500GB NVME SSD. The Windows 11 Pro is a nice bonus as well.
