“Joe Fedewa - You Are The Best!”

Dear Joe, you are and have been my favorite Staff Writer. Your articles are easy to read and understand. I am not a young person now, but I have always loved technology. And now that I have my first smartphone, which is an Android, which I love, those articles really help me learn more about my phone. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Thank you, Marianne Brody P.S. Love the cartoons.

I now look at the bottom of the page on these. What little info provided is just a way to make money from manufactures. When I see the statement that they make money on links or products they recommend I just put them in the sales garbage pile. I want independent info not money dependent results. Why would they make recommendations on products they don't get paid for? Really?

Read if they are paid at the bottom of the page and take advice with a grain of salt.

I love this site. It offers a lot of good, vetted information on a lot of different topics. When I have a geeky-type question, I will often go to this site for answers, and I will usually be successful. Check this site out if you haven't already.

Since the takeover of "How to Geek in July '23, the huge increase in popup and overlay Ads has made this newsletter unreadable. Read it for DECADES, but I guess the "New Broom Swept in the Dirt". What a shame

Lots of articles on various topics, timely, and interesting! Always great short articles that give me more to read, and original stuff I'd never see elsewhere!

Solid info, a little excessive on writing a guide about anything and everything but in general HTG is informative and well laid out. They could do with less ads.

Although their search function could use a little work, this is an excellent site, especially if you are looking for help with Linux. Great resource for all things geeky.

One of my favorite websites with very relevant information with subject matter for both novices and the skilled in computer hardware/software.
