25.01.2022 I often get asked about disposing old computers and printers etc. City of Sydney gives multiple options.

22.01.2022 iCloud ClusterF***, Or Why You Shouldn’t Run Betas On Important Devices.... and the corollary to this is don’t *connect* devices running Beta software to your real cloud services unless you have a fallback strategy https://www.macobserver.com/link/icloud-cluster/

22.01.2022 You can certainly find good deals on 2nd hand Macs that still have plenty of years in them BUT you do need to be aware of how to check if they have been left in any type of locked down state https://www.macworld.com//how-to-buy-a-used-mac-without-be

21.01.2022 Small business folks need to stay aware of IT basics just like accounting basics. If you need more specific advice than given by CSC you can ask me, or David @ IHateMyPC.

17.01.2022 Paid Dropbox is getting more expensive (next year) - for extra storage and features you might not use. As the end of this article says: "This cloud storage stuff is trickier for users than it first appears." https://www.theregister.co.uk//meet_the_new_dropbox_more_/

16.01.2022 macOS is, unfortunately, getting more insistent about pushing upgrades. As this article notes.... unless you really want to be an experimenter, don’t yet upgrade to Catalina https://www.macobserver.com//catalina-is-here-but-dont-in/

15.01.2022 Allowing a true separation of company & personal data on a BYOD iPhone will make IT & Security & Accounting departments very happy. For users/workers also, wipe of company data doesn’t affect their personal stuff https://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-byod-more-private/

15.01.2022 The security updates across all Apple devices that have popped up in the last week should be installed ASAP. Owners of an iPhone or iPad are advised to update to iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 or iOS 12.4.9. Apple patched the same vulnerabilities in the Supplementary Update for macOS Catalina 10.15.7. https://blog.malwarebytes.com//update-your-ios-now-apple-/

14.01.2022 Here’s one example of why you’re better off to send a PDF rather than a Word document. On a Mac, in any app, just use Command-p to bring up the Print dialogue then click on the PDF button and then choose to send or save in that format

14.01.2022 This resource is a good place to get you thinking about reviewing your personal, or small business, IT safety practices. The 3 major points are: keep software up to date, create backups, use 2-factor authentication for your logins. Feel free to get in touch with me if you’d like more specific advice.

12.01.2022 This in depth look at the different home wifi mesh systems brings all the info into one place and the article has just been updated (some systems may not be available outside the US) https://www.macobserver.com//ho/best-mesh-wireless-system/

11.01.2022 Don’t rely on TV adverts to decide on using a VPN. Talk to a friendly geek about what it is that you want to achieve.

11.01.2022 Yes, Apple cocked up but ....your phone can’t currently get jailbroken remotely, so crooks couldn’t install this jailbreak as a ‘crack’ against your will https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com//apple-ios-update-ends-i/

10.01.2022 If you have Dropbox on your Mac and you’re a bit geeky, or it was configured for you by a geek, you may receive an email from Dropbox about symlinks. This requires you to take notice. https://www.macobserver.com//psa-dropbox-to-no-longer-fol/

02.01.2022 Graham is back in Sydney and starting to return to a normal ability to provide IT assistance https://mailchi.mp//glebe-mac-newsletter-graham-has-return

02.01.2022 Be aware that ANY online system which offers to show you a stored password has a security vulnerability. Good practice is to only store a hashed value which can’t be reverse engineered to the original password https://www.macobserver.com//g-suite-passwords-stored-pla/

01.01.2022 Very often I get asked for a recommendation for a web site developer and/or web hosting service. Not sure I would recommend this crowd who offer a swimming pool as part of their hosting service and who have supposedly been operating for over 100 years!!!
