Last week, Apple launched their latest operating system, MacOS 11, named “Big Sur”. Unfortunately, it has been plagued by a host of problems, as Apple enthusiasts have found out first-hand.
Testing of Big Sur has revealed major concerns, one of the largest is that Apple apps now connect to a server to confirm that the use is legitimate. The big problem is that if the Mac device cannot connect to this server for any reason, such as a bad internet connection, or if Apple’s server is down then the computer may not run at all! There are also security concerns related to this, as it bypasses any firewalls, which could possibly be exploited by malicious software.
As we approach the end of year and reflect on the trials we've faced, we've perhaps wished that we were better prepared for the headaches we've endured.

Powerline is a way of getting internet from one room of your house to another in the situation where your wireless isn't strong enough and you have no network cabling to use. It taps into the electrical circuit of your house and uses to send a network signal. It is definitely a workaround and not the perfect solution but it is convenient. Here is the answers to five commonly asked questions.
Printers - Great when they are working!
If you are like me, you expect your printer to be working when you click file & print. It's frustrating when you do this and get no response! It's no so bad if you go look at the printer and find it's only that it needs more paper added or maybe some ink - you have spare ink, right? But when everything seems to be ok but nothing is happening? Dang, what next?
