About
Pain in the Tech delivers technology tips, tutorials, and insights. Authors contribute reviews of software and hardware to inform readers of useful, fun or otherwise interesting solutions.
What we are and what we do
We research new software, hardware, aggregate and author tips and tutorials, then present this information as clearly as possible for you, to help resolve pains from the technology you’re using (or should be using). Unfortunately we can’t offer support for any articles at this time, and the website is not equipped with a proper support forum. If those things would be useful here, please let us know, however, many other websites do a better job with support.

The name “Pain in the Tech”
The name “Pain in the Tech” is a pun based on the American English idiom “pain in the neck.” “Pain in the neck” describes a person, place, or thing that is difficult or obstinate–the opposite of pleasurable. Many people describe their experience with computer software and hardware as being a “pain in the neck.” Our goal is to provide solutions to technology problems (and more), so the name seemed appropriate. Each tip or tutorial on this website attempts to take the “pain in the neck” out of a specific tech.
