Today’s featured tech tip….
Did you know Amazon takes trade-ins?
Chances are you have a drawer, a shelf or a closet that’s overflowing with gadgets that you no longer need or use.
You could always do a little house cleaning and recycle them, but there’s another option that will actually put a little Amazon money in your pocket when all is said and done.
Depending on the items, Amazon could well be looking for the very gadget(s) you’re looking to jettison. If they are, they’ll take your unwanted gadget(s) off your hands and give you a discount on your next purchase.
The Amazon Trade-In Program is a fantastic tool for keeping unwanted tech gear out of the landfill while also giving you some dough to spend on your next Amazon purchase.
To check it out, just sign into your Amazon account and then click here.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
KYY 15.6 inch 1080P FHD Portable Monitor
Looking for the easiest way possible to connect a second screen to your laptop or desktop computer?
Well, if your computer has a USB-C connector on it you can connect this monitor via the included USB-C to USB-C cable. That’s the only cable you’ll need to connect!
If your computer doesn’t have a USB-C port you can still use this monitor simply by connecting it to the machine with the included HDMI and USB-C to USB-A cables.
Today’s post from ‘My Daily Smile’…
