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.

Posted on January 15, 2024

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

How to schedule a Gmail message for future delivery

Posted on January 5, 2024

Have you ever composed an email message and wished you could have it be delivered to the recipient’s inbox at some specific future date and time?

For example, maybe you’d like to write someone a birthday greeting ahead of time to make sure you don’t forget it.

That’s all well and good, but what if you forget to log back into your email account and send the message when that person’s birthday actually arrives?

Luckily, Gmail allows you to schedule your emails to be delivered at any specific future date and time of your choosing.  [Read more…]

How to quickly open a bookmarked page in a new tab

Posted on January 5, 2024

Most folks have their favorite websites/pages bookmarked on their browser’s “Favorites” bar.

That makes it easy to quickly launch once of those sites with a single click without having to go through the hassle of using Google or typing the site’s URL into the address bar every time.

There are times when it helps to launch a bookmarked page in a new browser tab to prevent it from replacing the page that’s already displayed in the browser.
