Is an outdated modem throttling your Internet connection?

Posted on July 3, 2024

Comcast, Time Warner and other cable Internet providers periodically raise the guaranteed download and upload speeds for their various Internet service tiers in order to remain competitive in the marketplace.

And when they do, they usually email their customers to let them know they’ve received a bump in their connection speeds.

When necessary, they’ll also let the customers know that they’ll need to order a new updated modem in order to actually take advantage of the faster data transmission speeds provided by their plan.

The problem is, many customers either don’t receive the notification emails about the needed modem upgrades or the emails get lost in their junk folder.  [Read more…]

How to quickly do a web search for any word or phrase on a web page

Posted on July 2, 2024

Have you ever been reading an article or blog post and seen a term (or person) mentioned that you wanted to get more information about?

If so you probably opened a new browser tab, launched your favorite search engine in that tab and then copied the term and pasted it into the search box.

That certainly works, and it works extremely well.

How has technology changed education?

Posted on July 2, 2024

Posted on June 30, 2024

It’s clear that for the most part Windows 11 is simply Windows 10 with a fresh new coat of paint.

Q&A: How do I bypass the 5000 friend limit on Facebook?

Posted on June 28, 2024

Question from Alex:  I’m a singer/musician who has a large semi-local following in my city and the surrounding areas.

I created a Facebook page and tried to use it to let my fans know about my upcoming gigs, but I recently found out that Facebook only shows my posts to a just a small percentage of my 8,000+ followers.

I’ve found that I do a lot better when I post the dates on my personal Facebook Timeline.

The problem is Facebook won’t allow me to have more than 5,000 friends and I have new people wanting to friend me all the time.

Can you tell me how to bypass the 5,000 friend limit on a personal account? [Read more…]

Apple 2026 MacBook Air 15-inch Laptop with M5 chip

This is my favorite MacBook, bar none. It’s a truly powerful machine with an awesome M5 processor, 24GB of unified memory, 1 TB of super-fast SSD storage and up to 18 hours of battery life.

With RAM and SSD prices through the roof right now this is a great machine for the money. It has a stellar 4.8 out of 5 user rating on Amazon, which is virtually unheard of for laptops.
