Is a free VPN good enough?Q: There are lots of free ones out there. How can I tell which ones are safe? I see them pop up on those lists of apps not to trust. A: When a service is free, you know one thing: You are the product. I get why people would download a free VPN, but it's really not worth saving a few bucks a month. I use ExpressVPN. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes. And it's fast. I love that. |
Leaving my kids home aloneQ: My kids are old enough to stay home alone now, but I still worry about them if I’m gone very long. I want to keep an eye on them without having to call or text constantly. Is there a home security camera that would work? A: A video-monitoring service is definitely the way to go. You can pop into the app to check on the kids whenever you want. And even better, they won’t know you’re doing it — so you can make sure they’re really getting ready for bed on time. I trust my sponsor SimpliSafe to protect me and my family, and you will too. Its around-the-clock monitoring ensures police are on the way when you need them, plus with SimpliSafe there's no long-term contract or hidden fees. You can easily install it yourself, too. Visit SimpliSafeKim.com to get a free HD security camera to get you started. |
Switching from Mac to PCQ: I just switched from a Mac to a PC, and it's time to give up iCloud. Should I use Google instead? A: Instead of bouncing around, pick one service you can use with all your gadgets and stick with it. That'll save you a headache in the long run. The easiest, quickest way to make sure you back up every document, photo and video is with my sponsor, IDrive. It works with PCs, Androids, Macs and iPhone — and you can import all your data into one account. Easy! For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more. |
