Edited: removed post. Never mind.

Because Apple quietly stopped supporting QuickTime for Windows and is no longer updating the player

Encryption and how you control data your is a hot topic right now,

It depends on whether you expect to get a refund or have to pay. I’ve been on both sides, and when we owed, we usually sent it in on or just before April 15, but when getting a refund, usually filed in February, or early March at the latest. So yeah, this post is incredibly late for some people.

The New York Times is tightening their leaky paywall. Previously if you arrived on a story from Facebook or Twitter it didn’t count towards your free monthly allotment of 10 stories before you need to pay. But now they’re testing including those clicks in the limit.

I changed my last name eagerly because my maiden name was harder to pronounce and spell. But I’ve always been bothered by female celebrities who adjust their name when they get married, mainly because so many of them seem to get divorced: Courtney Cox (Arquette), Rebecca Romijn (-Stamos), Kaley Cuoco (-Sweeting), etc.…

That’s it, all your notes will not be in Apple Notes.

I’ve always liked this way....

I used to get excited when Barnes & Noble would have 50% off sales, but the discount was off the “suggested retail” price. So, for example, the upcoming book by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (the rehearsal edition of the script) has a suggested retail price of $29.99 but can be pre-ordered at $17.99.…

Yeah, I store my processor blade inside my processor. Besides physical safety around those extremely sharp surfaces, it means I don’t have to reassemble the processor when I am ready to use it.

If you are fast enough with your keyboard, you could select all the text and then copy or cut, and paste into a text document. On Windows, that would be Ctl+A and Ctl+C (or X), which is very doable in the five seconds allowed.

Nevermind. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now the Notifications setting in the app works. Eric, feel free to delete my two posts if desired.

I have an iPhone 5C and had turned off all YouTube notifications in the main settings app. But it occurred to me after reading this article that I could be notified when a new video is posted for the 20 feeds I’m subscribed to, so I turned them on in the phone settings. However, when I go to Notifications under…

Even easier is a cat box made from an empty box and a t-shirt. A friend of mine on Facebook posted just this past week:

The microwave is everyone’s go-to when it comes to reheating the previous night’s meatloaf, but you should take extra care to make sure those leftovers are safe enough to be today’s lunch.

Every now and then, you need a notary, whether it’s for a will, mortgage or some other contract.

I agree, though I’d want to charge them with more than misdemeanor charges. Call it domestic terrorism, because they caused local schools to close (though I’m sure the kids approved of an extended winter break), and make it more than a slap on the wrist. No, they haven’t actually endangered anyone, but they’ve…

I find that the easiest way is to run iTunes and keep the old app files (restore them when they’re pushed to the recycle bin instead of emptying the recycle bin). It takes a lot of time deleting the older versions of the app (i.e. previous to the one that’s restored), if your apps are those that are updated…

I use FaxZero.com on my laptop, and it’s easy to use on any phone browser, especially if you have Dropbox or Google Drive or a similar cloud storage to pull the document from. And it’s totally free if you’re OK with their branding on your cover page and up to 3 pages, maximum 5 faxes per day. Or for $1.99 per fax…
