Cancer-fighting robots, hacked tax returns, dumping old PCs and more: Tech Q&A

Q: Is there anything that I can do to stop the annoying robocalls promising me free cruises, vacations, and scams? A: It's hard to ignore a robocall because we are trained to respond to every single phone call. Sometimes we can ignore those calls; we don't recognize the number and we don't know anyone in, say, Kalamazoo. Other times, the number looks familiar, and we decide to pick up, walking into the robocaller's trap. Even if you never answer a robocall, the endless vibration in your pocket can drive you bonkers.
