Introducing Ask DT: You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers

By Digital Trends Staff April 23, 2012

We here at Digital Trends like to think we have the answers to all the questions… or at least to your tech-related ones, anyway. While we encourage commenting, we also want to take some time to better try and answer some of the questions you post there.

So to that end, we’re introducing Ask DT. Every week, we’re going to set aside a post to answer reader questions. Don’t hold back – we want to hear it all, from how to update your gadget’s firmware to blocking someone on Facebook. Chances are if you’re wondering about it, other readers are as well.

Start sending in your questions to askdt@digitaltrends.com, and check back later this week to see our first post in the series.
