Question from Deborah:  I’ve been using my wireless router without a password on the WiFi connection for some time.

My boyfriend told me I need to put a password on the WiFi connection but I don’t think it’s necessary because I don’t have any neighbors living close by to piggyback off of it.

I like being able to let guests connect to my network without having to hassle with a password.

Do you think it’s ok if I leave it without a password?  [Read more…]

Firymid 13 Inch Android Tablet with Stylus

Looking for an Android tablet that’s really easy to use, even with less-than-perfect vision? This one has a large (and bright) 13 inch screen that’s incredibly easy to see.

It also comes with 8GB of physical RAM plus up to 32GB of virtual memory and the 128GB of flash memory storage is expandable to 1TB simply by plugging in a microSD card (not included).

Note: I truly believe this tablet is a great value but the stated 40GB RAM is a bit misleading. The device comes with 8GB of physical RAM (which is actually a good amount), but they arrive at the 40GB total by adding in the 32GB of available virtual memory. I just wanted to clear that up because I’m a firm believer in transparency.
