New guides and tutorials to check out


Advisorator’s new-look Guides section

Plus: How to charge your gadgets

Hey there! I’m Jared Newman, a longtime tech journalist, and this is Advisorator, my weekly tech advice newsletter. Did someone share this newsletter with you? Sign up to get it every Tuesday.

Thanks for subscribing.

In lieu of a new column this week, I’ve got a couple of new features to share on the Advisorator website:

First, I’ve revamped Advisorator’s Guides and Tutorials page with handy tabs for navigation. Just click the topic you want to learn more about, and you’ll see all the guides that match.

While most of these guides are for paid subscribers, you’ll also notice a new “🔓 Free Guides” tab for articles that don’t have a paywall. You can read these for free right now:

My goal is to make more guides available for free over time, while also making sure that Advisorator remains a sustainable enterprise without ads or sponsorships.

To that end, I’ve also just published an in-depth guide for paid subscribers on the surprisingly-complicated topic of charging your devices. If you’re confused about the difference between a 20W and 60W charger, what kind of portable battery to take on an upcoming trip, or whether you need a new charging cable, this guide will answer those questions and more.

More advice awaits

Also in this week’s paid edition: A $90 computer, a delightful Mac desktop enhancement, and a calendar cleanup reminder. Plus: Savings on portable batteries, chargers, keyboards, streaming players, and more.

Pick a plan to get instant access to the entire newsletter along with everything on the Advisorator website.

Cancellation is extremely easy—you’ll find instructions at the bottom of each newsletter—and if you’re not into it, I’ll give you a refund, no questions asked.


Thanks for reading!
