You really should use a VPN when you don’t trust the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to, say at an airport, hotel, public Wi-Fi at a café or restaurant. You don’t need a VPN at home, unless you also don’t trust your internet service provider to sell marketing info about what sites you are going to. Certain VPNs can often confuse your email host, especially those with Spectrum email accounts. The other common use for a VPN is when you are seeking access to some site that is geographically bound to a particular country and you want to appear as if your computer is in that country. If all this talk of a VPN is making no sense, then you probably don’t need one.
My steps to cleaning a keyboard start with turning off the computer or laptop and unplugging the power cord. Then I turn the keyboard upside-down and tap it to shake out all the cookie crumbs. If I have a can of compressed air, I will then try to blow out other dust, and use a cotton swab to clean sticky spots with a little bit of something like eyeglass cleaner. Then you can plug power back in and turn your computer back on. Once cleaned I try to resolve to no longer eat food near my computer, until the next time.
Before you delete social media accounts think about downloading all your history and interactions first. Each service has a different way to do it, Google or DuckDuckGo can be your friend to find out how. And, hard though it may be, don’t try to log back in after you delete your account as that often brings it back, especially if you do it less than a month after pushing that final nuclear delete button.

There seems to be an increase in texts that try to pull information from you. The best rule to follow is, if you are not expecting that text for an unpaid toll in Florida and you remember that you haven’t been to Florida in quite a few months, just ignore it. Unless the text is really from a friend, consider ignoring it anyway. Or, at least try to see what someone else thinks of it before you do anything.
Morse code is still used in places, here is one that might drive you crazy though. It is a Morse Code Clock at <https://temporaldiscombobulator.com/>. Turn down your speakers before you check the Enable Sound box.
