No errors, it just doesn't download any articles for several days now.

Mot likely they change the website and the recipe would need to be fixed.

Yes they changed the rss feed.

I've updated that and also removed the "next up" panel that was appearing in articles now.

Try this:

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe


class AdvancedUserRecipe1282101454(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = 'How To Geek'
    language = 'en'
    __author__ = 'TonytheBookworm, PatStapleton (update 2020-05-20)'
    description = 'Daily Computer Tips and Tricks'
    publisher = 'Howtogeek'
    category = 'PC,tips,tricks'
    oldest_article = 2
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    linearize_tables = True
    no_stylesheets = True
    remove_javascript = True
    use_embedded_content = False

    keep_only_tags = [
        dict(id='main')
    ]
    remove_tags_after = dict(classes='affiliate-disclosure')
    remove_tags = [
        dict(name='a', attrs={'target': ['_blank']}),
        dict(name='table', attrs={'id': ['articleTable']}),
        dict(name='div',   attrs={'class': ['feedflare', 'article-share-widgets', 'related-articles', 'comments', 'nextup']}),
    ]

    feeds = [
        ('How-to Geek', 'https://www.howtogeek.com/feed/')

    ]

    def preprocess_html(self, soup, *a):
        for img in soup.findAll('img', attrs={'data-pagespeed-lazy-src': True}):
            img['src'] = img['data-pagespeed-lazy-src']
        return soup
