Computers get dirty. They are basically dust sucking machines with their fans drawing dust in all day long. The computer's CPU in particular gets filled with dust. The problem arises that the dust collects on computer components and then attracts water so that the computer can get corroded. In time this can completely destroy the computer. Tablets tend not to have this problem, but laptops and desktop computers do.
Some people move all their photos from their computer onto an external drive and think they have a backup. Sadly, they don’t.
Backup is essentially TWO copies of your files. In fact, it’s at LEAST two copies.
As with many wireless routers, the VR2800 isn't much to look at; just a fairly nondescript black slab with four wifi antennae sticking up at the back, four Gigabit LAN ports and a VDSL2/ADSL2+ compatible socket, plus a couple of USB 3 port on the side.
We wanted to warn you about some laptops that are currently being sold at many retailers. They are bargain priced and on the face of it, look attractive. But here’s the problem - the computers are so low specification that they are almost unusable out of the box. This is because the storage drive inside the laptop is very small and 32 gigabytes is barely enough to run Windows. As it turns out it’s not enough.
When choosing a printer for your home, one of the options you have to consider is how the computer connects to the printers. Most printers offer the ability to connect to a wired or wireless network for sharing. Knowing the advantages of each type of printer can help you make the best choice.
Below is a brief video to help explain what phishing is and how your computer could be affected. Phish-ers pretend to be your friend, so they can find personal information about you. They do this by sending emails to your computer or bring up fake websites on your laptop. All this to try to get your date of birth, or address - or the one they hope most for...your credit card number.
One of the most common issues we repair with computers is internet issues. The Wi-Fi isn’t going on your laptop or other computer and it turns out the internet isn’t connected somehow. Often the reason the internet isn’t working is that the router is too old and is failing. What makes this tricky to figure out is that most or all of the lights are still on the router so it LOOKS like the internet is working.
A Solid State Drive is by far the best value for money, bang for your buck upgrade, make-your-computer-faster, you can do for your computer. If you have a laptop or a desktop computer and it’s going a bit slow then you would gain great advantage by doing this upgrade.
After every big Windows 10 update is released, we get calls from our computer customers having a whole variety of issues – that’s certainly the case for the latest big update, 1803 April 2018 Update – but how many users have been affected by computer problems (that can affect laptops, desktops and some tablets) caused by Microsoft’s Operating System since its launch approximately three years ago?
