All of a sudden, when I use Firefox to access Google Maps, Firefox/Maps thinks I'm in a different state than I'm in. The other day it thought I was in Virginia, and for the last several days it thinks I'm at some exact address in Minneapolis where I've never been (I'm in California). I've had...

Hi Community, My mom has a document that I'd like to open that is a wps file and I can't figure out how to open it. I tried to open it with Word, but when I select the document and click 'open,' I get a pop up that says 'File Conversion' and it wants me to 'select the encoding that makes...

My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga L13 running Windows 10, and the system is up to date. Out of the blue, a handful of keys on my laptop have stopped working. The keys are mostly on the left but some are on the right side (on the left: tab, shift, 1, Q, A Z and on the right: delete, down...

Hi, My elderly mom absolutely adores scrolling through Facebook on her android cell phone, looking at and 'liking' all kinds of posts about cute animals and interesting stories & photos. All of a sudden recently, the "Story" feed at the top of her regular feed has entirely filled up with...

This is how it's supposed to work, but it most definitely is NOT working in my case because as I mentioned in my first post, I'm getting 20+ emails a day, almost all of them supposedly coming from an anti virus company, a great many of them have the exact same subject line, almost all of them...

I'm sorry, I appreciate the help, but I don't understand these suggestions - how will whitelisting individual emails help send spam to the trash? The emails I want to receive are already coming through, so there's no need to whitelist them and unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't see...

I'm using 15 of 500 rules :(

Thanks for the response. I also have a filter that only uses a subset of the subject and that's not working either. And I know from experience that spammers will slightly change the subject line, but in this particular instance, for whatever reason, these spammers happen to be using the exact...

Can anyone tell me why my filter isn't working? I set up the filter with the exact subject line that the spam has and yet the emails are still coming through... View: https://imgur.com/xXbipK4 View: https://imgur.com/Mxs5Kjr

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't see any option to whitelist my address book and only allow emails from those in my contacts...and when I tried to Google instructions on how to do that, the only results I got were for whitelisting individual contacts. Do you have any further advice on how...

Interesting! I'm not a super tech person, although I'm fairly savvy. If it's not too much trouble, can you explain what you mean when you say "there are only 3 addresses from my domain"? And how does one go about buying their own domain? $20 seems like a deal, since Yahoo wants $5 a month to...

Oh - I was so excited by this suggestion, but my free Yahoo account does not allow me to forward email :(

Hi, I'm sure there's nothing I can do about this, but I've had my email address for a million years - it's an sbcglobal.net address, and I access it via Currently from AT&T / Yahoo Mail. Anyway, I went for literally DECADES getting ZERO spam, then all of a sudden a couple of years ago I...

Writing to share that I've solved both of my issues with my microphone! For the microphone not working in Zoom: Zoom > settings > Audio > advanced > changed "Signal processing by Windows audio device drivers" from ‘auto’ to ‘Off (Windows – raw”). For the microphone not working in my Dr. video...

I'm coming back to this old post to report the steps that helped me fix this issue in case it will help someone else. Type: ‘Services’ in Windows search box (may or may not have to choose ‘run as administrator’) Find the two programs below (CxAudioSvc & CxUtilSvc) Open each one by either...
