Yuki Do you happen to have your credit frozen? If not, the wiki on r/personalfinance on Reddit has some great information on immediate steps you can take, including links to the systems banks use like ChexSystems. Check out the "What to do immediately" section at...

On some of the websites I visit, I sometimes encounter an ad with a very large CONTINUE button in the middle of it. On my desktop, I quickly recognize it as an ad, and "x" out of it. But when my power was out, and I was on my...

Yuki Ugh, those continue buttons are awful, but the ones that really get to me are the ones that the advertisers put on recipe sites with text like "Jump to Recipe" on them... because those are often the ones that redirect to the scareware websites with the sirens...

I just clicked a headline on FB and it was some scam site that said my puter was infected with a virus, and they wanted me to call a certain number to remove it. It was designed to make you pay money to get it disinfected or...

Yuki So. Freaking. Many. I've seen at least a dozen of them in the last couple of weeks. Sometimes people bring them in for virus scans as a precaution, but soooo many people who come in have called the number and installed the remote access software they...

Yuki Thanks! I actually did wind up with a decent merit raise, which is kind of a Thing That Rarely Happens with my employer. Took months to push through, but they managed it at the beginning of the year. My annual review's only a couple months away now,...

This just in: A study found farmed salmon lacks nutrients like calcium, iodine, and omega-3 compared to the wild fish used as feed, like mackerel and anchovies. Experts recommend eating more of those nutrient-rich wild fish for...

Yuki There's a good chance, considering the diet of wild salmon is probably drastically different than the farm-raised fish.

The custodians are going to be fit to be tied. The last time they served them it was hailing carrots. They were even throwing them at the custodian. An administrator had better show up and soon. 3 teachers are not...

Yuki I'm sorry. It seems entirely too many administrators simply don't carrot all unless things directly affect them. You just know that they would have already put an end to it if they'd been the one(s) pelted with carrots, not the custodian.

Yuki A lot of companies hire helpdesk technicians to work remotely from home. Having the CompTIA A+ certification is a good way to get your foot in the door for that. It covers things like computer hardware, software, and troubleshooting procedures.

Yuki The ban is only affecting those models sold by Apple right now. Third party sellers like Best Buy will still have what stock is available, from my understanding, they just won't receive replenishments from Apple when they sell out. Probably best to get it...

Yuki For me, it all depends on the book. My current Kindle book wishlist on Amazon has about 70 titles on it last I counted. Most of those are older books that I've already read and/or own/used to own a physical copy of, so I'm not in a hurry to buy them. I...
