What (and where) is the ‘Windows’ key?

Posted on January 20, 2024

Many of the tips I post include a step that involves pressing the Windows key on a PC’s keyboard.

Every time I post one of those tips I receive several messages from folks asking me where the Windows key is.

I guess we “geeks” tend to assume that all Windows users know about the ‘Windows’ key, but we really shouldn’t.

After all, no one knows everything about the behemoth that is the Windows operating system, and not everyone has the same level of experience with using it.

That’s why I decided it might be a good idea to write a post explaining what the Windows key is – and just as important, what it looks like and how to find it.  [Read more…]

How to block adult-oriented videos on YouTube

Posted on January 17, 2024

As you probably know, YouTube hosts billions of videos on pretty much every topic under the sun, and the vast majority of them can be viewed at any time for free.

This is why I wrote a post a while back explaining why YouTube is one of the best sites on the Internet for helping you quickly learn how to do something you’ve never done before.

As you also probably know, many of the videos on YouTube contain some type of “adult” subject matter that you might not want to see – or allow your kids to see.

(Yes, as a Google property YouTube has a minimum age requirement but we all know how well those work in practice.)

Luckily, YouTube has a “Restricted Mode” setting that will block the vast majority of videos containing adult subject matter to prevent them from being viewed on any device that you have it enabled on. [Read more…]

How (and why) to ‘Memorialize’ a deceased loved one’s Facebook account

Posted on January 17, 2024

When a loved on passes on, there are many issues that the deceased’s loved ones must deal with, some of which must be dealt with in a hurry.

While it’s far from the most important thing on the list, something that does need to dealt with as soon as possible is the future of the deceased’s Facebook account.

While it isn’t anywhere near as important as burial and financial issues, your departed loved one’s Facebook account needs to be “memorialized” as soon as possible in order to prevent hackers and malicious acquaintances from taking control of the account.

This is what happens when Facebook memorializes an account:  [Read more…]

Reminder: Getting a new device doesn’t mean you need a new Facebook account

Have you ever noticed that some Facebook users have multiple accounts?

While some of these duplicate accounts are due to the rampant epidemic of account cloning fraud, many duplicate accounts were actually created by the legitimate account holder because they think they need to open a new account every time they get a new computer, phone or tablet.

But truth be told, getting a new device doesn’t mean you’ll need a new Facebook account because your account isn’t tied to any specific device.  [Read more…]

Two great ways to clone a hard drive or SSD

Posted on January 15, 2024

Many of the questions I receive at RicksDailyTips deal with replacing hard drives and SSDs.

After all, drives go bad and they have to be replaced, and folks are always wanting to upgrade their drives to something larger and faster.

I guess that’s why one of my most frequently asked questions is “How do I clone a hard drive (or SSD)?”

Well, today I’m going to answer that question by briefly describing two drive cloning methods that I’ve written about in the past.

Those two methods range from “inexpensive, and slightly complicated” to “just slightly more expensive, but dead-simple“:   [Read more…]
