If you take your laptop to places where an outlet might not be available, a high-wattage USB-C battery can be used to keep your laptop powered while on the go and while you use it.

Everyone is likely to be familiar with smaller battery packs that charge your phone or tablet when you aren't around a wall charger. They're small, convenient, affordable, and invaluable when your battery is low. But what about your laptop? Laptops require a lot more power & juice than the small wattag...

Security should probably be a bigger priority than it is for most people. Protect your passwords and secure your accounts....at all costs.

Why? (Really? Someone would ask why? I mean...really?)

Because there is always someone out there who, given the chance, would LOVE the chance to hack into your stuff, steal your identity, siphon money out of your bank account, etc.

With Google's new physical security key feature (which is an advanced form of 2-factor authentication), any And...

Robocalls are a growing problem. 48 billion robocalls were placed in the US last year, which is 46% more than the year before. And while major phone providers are working on new technology as a fix for the robocalls, it isn't out yet and it likely won't be enough to completely solve the problem, at least not right away. Experts agree that a multi-pronged attack against robocallers is what needs to be done, and consumers can take action as part of the attack.

Our computers contain a lot of important documents and files that we use and rely on everyday. Whether it's work documents, family vacation photos, tax documents, etc., your data is usually invaluable. What would you do if you were to lose it?

Data loss can happen at any time. With the constant reading and writing of data, hard drives are prone to failure over time. And this usually happens at the worst time, and without warning. The blue screen of death is never a welcome sigh...

Your internet router uses a specific channel to send data wirelessly. WIFI is convenient and generally and generally fantastic, but a couple problems are:

• There are a limited number of channels available on each router band.
• Most routers default to the same channel.

If you live in a building or dense neighborhood with a lot of access points (wireless connection points, or hotspots), there is therefore, a fairly decent chance that another wifi network in range is using the ...

This one is primarily for Android phone users due to the locked down nature of Apple's iOS, many of Swiftkey's cool & useful features aren't allowed because it's a 3rd party app in the iOS ecosystem.

Swiftkey is a 3rd party keyboard app that can replace your stock Android keyboard. I've been a Swiftkey user for years and whenever I get a new phone, Swiftkey is one of the first apps I stick back on ther...

This is another app I have been using for years, and it's quite simply a joy to use.

There are a LOT of to-do apps on the Apple App Store or Google Play, and you may have one that you LOVE, and that's great. But I feel Wunderlist might be the best one out there and I suggest you give it a shot...after checking it out you may feel the same way (or you may not...I'm not a mind reader).

Wunderlist can be a fantastic group collaboration tool for that big project, or it can be a simp...
