Can you tell me what I need to do? [Read more…]
Question from Ryanna: I’m always accidentally hitting the “Microphone” button when I’m typing on my iPhone and I hate it.

Question from Kerry: I have a Windows 11 question for you if you don’t mind.
I used to be a Windows guy, but when Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 I decided to switch to a Mac.

I’m pretty sure Windows 11 still has a Control Panel because I think I remember seeing it mentioned on your site before. Can you tell me how to find it? [Read more…]

My question is can I add some USB 3.0 ports to my Mac Pro? [Read more…]
