23.01.2022 Good morning! I hope everyone is enjoying 2021 thus far. This is a super detailed comparison between PC and the latest PS5 console. While the video suffers from extreme detail to bore the most avid gamer, the end result was interesting. Minus ray tracing tech, the PS5 is equivalent to a 4 year old medium to high end PC in terms of performance!

22.01.2022 Happy New Year for tomorrow! What will the next decade hold with computer technology? Moores Law (loosely, tech will double in performance every few years) has begun to slow. Here is an article about the future of hard drive densitities and performance. Actuators, nano, lasers. This has all the big words! ... Currently Seagate are testing 16TB drives with 20TB drives forecasted! 500GB or 1000GB (1TB) are still standard. What tech are you looking forward to in the next 10 years? VR? Gaming? Home Automation? Let me know and link to an article for me to read if you have one!

22.01.2022 In the mad year that 2020 was, I hope that everyone has a fantastic Christmas and New Year’s. Recharge, rejuvenate and refresh! Stay safe and enjoy the time with your loved ones! Post below some of the awesome tech you or your family received for Christmas today!

22.01.2022 Another AMD build bench tested this evening. Lightning speed; 5 second boot time and amazing gaming!

22.01.2022 PC vs MAC? Which do you prefer?

21.01.2022 COVID UPDATE - CHANGE TO WORKING ARRANGEMENTS As we begin Stage 4 Lockdown in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, this means that all home computer services are now no longer operating for the duration of the Stage 4 Lockdown. What I can offer is remote support, where I can remotely take over the PC or Mac and provide some standard services such as virus removal, email support or any other issues where the PC is functional. ... Remote access rates will be dependant on the level of work required however during this lockdown most fixes will start at no cost and maximum cost will be capped at $70. I however will be offering my time for quick urgent issues under 30 minutes at no cost. This is in order to help get us through without throwing the PC through the window and provide some level of support. What services can be done remotely: - Antivirus installation - Virus Removal - Software installation - Window Operating System updates, minor and major - Email setups - Other PC issues Some of the time, I can preconfigure remote access and perform work when out of hours to minimise your downtime if the issue is not urgent. If the support is urgent, I will only be able to offer a courier service to get the PC or Mac to and from my workshop, which will add additional time to any fix. My fix price cap on services will also be offered regardless of size of job. I can also ship new PCs and Laptops plus peripherals direct to you. Send me a message if you need my help. Stay safe and stay home!

21.01.2022 Laptops are the new norm!

20.01.2022 In what is unprecedented times many of us are in lockdown and working from home. Computers will take the opportunity to likely break down or error. I will be able to continue providing remote support upon request and if deemed essential I can organise pickup and drop off to your work or home. ... All PC surfaces will be wiped down for delivery and direct contact with clients and their premises will be minimised. I cannot offer in home services in the short term but once lockdown is lifted, these services will be offered immediately. Please all stay healthy and safe.

20.01.2022 Long time between posts. I have been actively working within the community to get phones, pcs and tablets working for Christmas. Other than the main Christmas days off, I will be available to support over the summer break! Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! A photo of two budget gaming systems built for a family for Christmas with beautiful RGB lights on the front!

20.01.2022 Lately I have been refurbishing the software in older PCs. PCs of between 7 to 10 years of age are still capable of running the modern Windows 10 and performing well. 1. Upgrade to SSD type hard drive.... 2. Upgrade from Windows 7/8/8.1 to Windows 10. 3. Some system level optimisations This adds many more years of life to the PC or Laptop which is cheap and affordable. The speed of the PCs are vastly increased and it makes it feel like its better than new. Contact me today and book in a refurb service. Most services are completed overnight and I can organise pickup and return.

20.01.2022 One would say I hoard. Not as bad as this guy! I love this and wish I had kept all this old cool tech! I remember working with pretty much all the old 90s and beyond tech shown here! What is your first memory with a computer? Mine is playing Round42 on an old XT PC that ran at 10mhz in Turbo mode or 2mhz with turbo off. The game had to be played in 2mhz or it was too fast!

19.01.2022 Its been a while between posts. With Easter next weekend, I will be completely contactable over the break so please message me or call me for any PC or Laptop issues! Have a great Easter everybody!

18.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what a hard disk drive looks like, on the inside? This drive was in full read/write operations before the drive was fully retired. Now modern drives are fully solid state. No more drive whirring or cracking. Slow motion gives you an idea of how quick it moves!

18.01.2022 Another gorgeous build! Mix of pre-loved and new for gaming, this features overclocked CPU and Nvidia gaming card with a closed loop water cooling system. Complicated to build but still fun nevertheless!

18.01.2022 Mind blown! Do you have all the latest security patches on your Windows or Mac? A recent flaw has just been discovered affecting both systems raising real questions about how security flaws are managed by software manufacturers. Check this article out! A security patch has just been released for Windows XP, software that has been deemed EOL over 5 years ago! Must have been serious for Microsoft to need to release this!

Let me know if any bugs are found or if the interface is an improvement!

16.01.2022 I found a classic story from the early 90s that made me think about my experiences, albeit late 90s and on newer NT and Windows 95/98. The issues and solutions were not much changed however! Happy reading if old school networking is your thing!

16.01.2022 SSD upgrade on a Star Wars Special Edition Laptop. Didnt know it was a thing but I LOVE IT!

08.01.2022 I don't know why but I want one of these.

07.01.2022 Fans in even the modern laptops go wrong. This HP x360 had a bad bearing making general use noisy and almost unusable. A fan replacement requires the whole laptop to be stripped down and motherboard removed. A job like this can take up to 1 hour.... Once replaced, the fan grinding is gone and its whisper quiet!

07.01.2022 As we enter the first weekend of Lockdown Mk 2, here's a fun video of what happens when you run 80s and 90s era viruses and malware on a modern PC! Let's just say, amazingly the results aren't pretty!

02.01.2022 Windows 10 May 2020 edition, version 2004 was released today. Been newly released to market there are some things to be aware of: 1. Rollout of new version is staggered, if not available for you, it will be soon. 2. Backup your data prior to update. It is a major release and if you experience issues, try rolling back or contact me.... 3. If you would like to try the update immediately, contact me and I will help you install it. Installation will be optional and at this stage, Microsoft will not be forcing this update into your computer. If you require any help with the latest update installation or questions on it, please dont hesitate to call or message me!

02.01.2022 I get asked often from people as to why their laptop or PC is slow. These computers are also quite new, 3-5 years old or newer. When buying a new computer, popping down to a major retailer will confuse the buyer with the range; Acer, Apple, Asus. They all look similar but will have different specs and features. While not always defining, a price point will add some determiantion into the speed of the computer years down the road. A $500 computer will be no where as good as ...a $1500 computer and the more expensive will feel quite speedy 5 years down the road while the $500 computer will likely be abandonded to basic internet or worse, unused. So when I make recommendations for what to look at or buy, I will think 5 years down the road, sometimes 10 years. My absolute DOs and DONTs: 1. For Intel based, only buy i5 or i7 CPU. The i3 CPU are the lowest you should go. 2. For AMD, the Ryzen lineup are great and outperform the Intel equivalant. 3. Avoid Intel Celeron or AMD A series at all costs. They are usually priced at around the $500 mark, for a reason. 4. Ask for a hard drive that is a solid state drive, AKA SSD. On average 10 times quicker. Note: If you do buy one without a SSD, this can be changed later. 5. Spend a bit more up front; if it is an extra $100 for an upgraded processor or SSD hard drive, go for it. I am always happy to provide advice or supply as well as do upgrades to your older existing computers. I have done work on laptops that are 10 years old and with some simple upgrades, they have a new lease of life. This is made possible only due to that higher spend up front on purchace. Send me a message or give me a call and I am happy to go through your options.

02.01.2022 Windows 10 May 2019 (Ver 1903) Update has just been released! It is a recommended major update and can take several hours to perform the update. Download and install the update below!... As always, backup your data prior to starting the update! If you have any questions, please ask below or send me a message.

02.01.2022 New business cards have arrived. If you would like one, message me your address and Ill send you a few!

01.01.2022 Older computers still deserve TLC. Bit of cable management and a dust removal never hurt.

01.01.2022 Blast from the past!!!! This classic machine is still in use today for specialist use. A seized mechanical motor was gently fixed with an even gentler tap. Yes, got it running and a full backup! A standard 10 dollar USB memory stick is larger than the existing hard drive! However as this computer is still so useful to the customer, I hope I can continue to keep it running for years for him!
