    Right earbuds not working

    This sounds like a simple problem, but it's annoying the hell out of me. I have three sets of earbuds (two of them brand new) and every one of them, the right earbud either won't connect, disconnects after a minute of use, or even powers off after a minute of use. I've tried connecting all three...

    Android texting app

    Hi there, My wife has trouble sending texts. No, it's not that she doesn't want to or know how to; it often doesn't work. Her texts will be "sending" for hours and then sometimes go through, other times never go through after days. When she texts to groups, sometimes it will create a new...

    Rico Petrocelli interview

    Edit: The book came out in 2018, but the interview was this year. My favorite player when I was a kid is still out there making things happen. He sat for an hour-long virtual interview about the book in May with Bruce Markusen, from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Lots of...

    PhotoStick, but for massive amounts

    I've seen ads for PhotoStick - just plug it into your laptop and it'll search out all your pictures, eliminate duplicates, and store them on the stick. The biggest one stores "60,000 photos!" I have more like 800,000 images collected on an external drive. There are dupes, to be sure, but I'm not...

    Consolidating and organizing images

    If we're stuck mostly at home for another month or two, this would be a great time to tackle a project I was hoping to do in retirement.
