Your daily dose of practical, easy to follow tech tips!
I’ve been answering questions on here for several years now, and as you might expect some questions tend to get asked over and over on there.
For example, I recently answered the following question (for the third time) over there:
“How can I select text to copy using a Windows tablet?”

Question from Danica: Rick, I recently purchased a 10″ Android tablet and I really like it.
It came with a keyboard cover but the keys on it are way too small for me to type without making lots of mistakes.
Is it possible to use a regular full-sized USB computer keyboard with a tablet?
If it is, how do I connect the two of them together?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Question from Patti T.: My son bought a Surface Pro and he gave me his old Vido 10 inch Windows tablet. It works great except for one really irritating problem.
When I load Facebook in the Chrome browser everything looks so small it’s hard to read it, and it’s even harder to tap on links and stuff.
Someone told me that I can load the mobile Facebook site to make everything easier to use but I can’t figure out how to the mobile version to load. It keeps loading the full website no matter what I do.
Can you tell me what I need to do to load the mobile Facebook site?

Question from Craig L.: I just bought a new Windows 10 tablet and there’s something that’s driving me nuts.
Every time I start typing something on the onscreen keyboard it automatically capitalizes the first letter and I have to go back and change it.
That really irritates me because most of the stuff I type doesn’t need any capitalization at all.
Is there a way to make this tablet quit capitalizing the first letter when I start typing?

Question from Jason: I recently bought a tablet with Windows 10 and I think it has a buggy onscreen keyboard.
Every time I tap the space bar twice in a row it automatically types a period after the last word I typed.
I don’t like that because I use a lot of double spaces and I have to go back and delete the period every time.
I’m thinking this has to be a bug in the software (it’s an el-cheapo tablet). Do you know if there’s a fix for it?
