Question from Bailey: Hi, Rick. I have a bad problem and I need help ASAP.
I was browsing Facebook last night and clicked on a link that caught my attention. As soon as I clicked it my screen went solid blue and the computer froze up completely.

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem besides just buying a new computer? [Read more…]

Can you clear this up for me once and for all? Are 5G phones safe to use? [Read more…]
