Just a reminder that the final nail in the coffin for Windows 7 is this coming January 14th! After that there will be no more security or compatibility updates. Now is the time to upgrade of Windows 10 or if your computer supports it, Windows 11. Samsung Solid State drives have also become very affordable and can give some major added speed to your computer if you have not taken the Solid State jump yet. I can update your operating system and also do a 100% clone of your regular hard drive to copy it to a new Solid State drive. Send me a message if you’re interested or have any questions. 😊 BulsCorp Electronics 585-451-3605

A little bit of advice for people building a smart home with smart devices. If you are worried about privacy then stay away from Alexa. Currently without building your own command device Google Home has the least intrusive tech believe it or not. You can pick up google pucks for about $20-$30 both new and used locally on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, and Letgo. Nest thermostats are great for running your heat and ac, and you can now get smart wall switches so you can control your current lighting systems by voice and app.

It’s time to stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer! This is a call to small offices as well. If you have client information on your computer and you use IE then you are putting them at risk. Use Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t use Internet Explorer, you could... You might think that any security issues with Internet Explorer shouldn't be much of a problem anymore. After all, most computer users have moved on to more modern alternative browsers like Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft...

Is your laptop or desktop computer running slow or freezing? It may be a good time to bring it in for a yearly cleanup and virus/malware scan. There are also upgrades hardware wise to make that old computer run like new again including ram upgrades, solid state hard drives, and operating system upgrades.
