This Month's FAQ – Why Do I Need To Leave My Device Unplugged For 15-30 Seconds?

Question: It seems like every time I call tech support with a problem, the first thing they advise is to unplug my computer or modem and leave it unplugged for 15-30 seconds. Why is that delay needed?

Answer: The reason for this delay is that most devices contain capacitors, which are little batteries that function like energy buckets. They fill up when you put a current through them and discharge otherwise. Capacitors will hold a charge for at least 10 seconds after the power is off, so you have to wait longer than that for your device's Random Access Memory (RAM) to be fully inactive. To be on the safe side, tech support often advises users to wait 15-30 seconds to make sure the capacitors discharge completely. This is important because while there's a charge, your device's RAM is still active and whatever problem you're trying to fix won't be wiped out. If you plug your device back in right away, the problem just returns. So when it comes to troubleshooting, patience is a virtue!

Short Tutorial – How To Bookmark A Website

Bookmarks are links to websites that make it easy to get back to your favorite places on a regular basis. By using bookmarks, you don't have to keep entering in the complete URL each time you want to visit. Here's how to bookmark a website you're viewing:

Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Simply press Ctrl + D on your keyboard. The page you're on will be added to your browser's bookmark folder automatically. This works in every major browser except Safari for Mac. The shortcut in Safari is Command + D.

Clicking the Star Icon
If you'd rather not use keyboard shortcuts, there's an alternative. Every major browser uses a star to represent bookmarks. It might show up in the address bar, or somewhere to the left or right of the address bar.

In Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, clicking the star automatically adds the bookmark to your bookmarks folder. Clicking the star again lets you edit the bookmark name and choose its location in your bookmarks or delete it.

For Internet Explorer, clicking on the star icon opens the bookmarks menu. Then you click the "Add to favorites" button.
