Most available data gives Apple a 3-year failure rate between 15% and 17%, which is fairly in line with other top quality vendors like Asus and Toshiba - not as amazing as you might think?
I first played Adventureland, the computer game, with my dad. I was maybe 10 years old and it was utterly fascinating. Here was a world you could interact with and it was all on a computer. There was a dragon that you dare not wake, a bottomless pit to climb down (but only part way or else!) and of course, chiggers. Yeah, chiggers. As a kid I had never even heard of them. I barely know what they are now. But the mystery that it created was enthralling.
MacBook battery life is a major concern of most mobile Mac users. While Apple (MacBook, MacBook Pro & MacBook Air etc) portables all have really good battery performance and are able to run many hours on a single charge, the battery always seems to be just slightly less than you need.
You can extend your MacBook’s battery run-time using a few battery conservation methods.
Facebook knows you. Facebook knows your friends. Facebook knows everything! If we let it. Protecting your computer and your privacy is important.
Perhaps even more scary is that not only Facebook has access to all the personal info you put on their site, but also the apps that use Facebook to login. Here’s a few tips to get your started.
Facebook’s privacy settings are spread over a number of portions of the site. However, you can do a quick health check by tapping the padlock to the right of the Home screen and selecting Run Privacy Check Up. This will allow you see privacy settings at a glance over three key areas of Facebook.
For everyday PC or desktop users, specifications and performance of a desktop computer doesn’t really matter. It’s good enough with some basic RAM or CPU because most are just creating, editing, and saving office files and documents. But for a true PC computer gaming enthusiast, choosing the components of a PC is as vital as choosing your weapons before going to a battle. Only the right hardware with the most optimum performance will do. The gaming PC and its computer hardware should be carefully selected to provide absolute reliability during gaming. You also want reliable components so you don’t need regular computer repairs.
Essentially, it’s a virus that puts a computer password on all your personal files. It typically attacks photos, Microsoft Word and Excel documents, PDFs and a variety of other files that are stored in your laptop or desktop computer. Once your files have been processed by the ransomware virus you will not be able to access them without getting the password or encryption key from the rat bag who invented it and got your computer infected. Here’s where it gets bad…
...Until the day you do, then it’s the most important thing in the world! Backup is one of those boring things that you have to do and yet it does nothing. Not a thing. It is completely unproductive and adds nothing to you life. Kinda like insurance. All it does is cost money and doesn’t help one bit! Until… the day that you get burgled or have a fire. THEN you are really glad you were prepared.
And ”prepared” is the key word here. While the fire is burning you can’t arrange insurance. When the bear you picked up at the local train station has already flooded your house it’s too late! And when your computer has already died, or has ransomware or there’s smoke coming from it, it’s too late.
Vodafone recently announced that they would be shutting down their email service, as of November 30.
“The decision follows months of problems with high levels of spam and delayed mail. Vodafone's consumer director Matt Williams said customers had told Vodafone its email service was no longer delivering the sort of experience they needed. "That's simply not good enough for us here at Vodafone" and was why it had made the decision to close the service down”
If you're still using Windows Live Mail for email you may be at risk. Microsoft dropped support for Windows Live Mail earlier this year.
