I bought a computer about 18 months ago. It was from a Big Computer Company that I have trusted and used for years; personally and corporately. However, they have lawyers and I do not, so their name will remain a secret. It came as many do with a two-year warranty. I bought it from an…
Liz wrote to me a couple of weeks ago and wanted to know what may be wrong with her computer. She told me that the battery would not charge when she plugged in her notebook. That sounded to me like a battery issue. Since that is the first sign of your laptop battery or possibly…
Another year has snuck up on me (and you too) again. January 2022 is here and getting ready to exit in another quick 12 months. The clock is always ticking, and we are stuck with the rhythm. So, as usual this time of year I will review all the sites I mentioned last year. If…
You know the scoop. You must have a different password on every site, your email, the places you shop, your computer, your bank account, the DNR, WSVA, your insurance company, your login to GrayHaired.Tech, etc. But if you want to stay very safe online, different passwords are a need.

This is the last in the series regarding ways to speed up your computer as it slows down with age. As I promised last week, this week we start with something that could be significant for some of you. OneDrive is Microsoft’s version of cloud storage which has been around since 2007. For those of…

Earlier this year… I made a few suggestions about your password safety. One of the things I recommended, and still do, is LastPast, which you can find here, ghtech.site/lp-howto. Here is a very quick review of LastPass. It allows you to save your login credentials, such as usernames and passwords to the app. You create…
Due to the free Google courses …I am offering on YouTube I get some neat questions. By-the-way, 28 so far with only two more left in the series. The 29th will offer more details regarding this article, so register at GrayHaired.Tech to get an email when it comes out – hopefully, tomorrow (ghtech.site/reg). So, the…
I have an update for you from last week’s comments regarding Zoom Bombing. First, I apologize as I was told by several of you that I did not provide a link to Zoom; although, they found it by googling. They were correct so here you go, Zoom.us. Next, Zoom has been busy this week. They…
Recently meeting software of all sorts has replaced working in an office, talking face-to-face with friends/coworkers, and even some doctor visits can be made online. Different scenarios in everyday life situations which we would have never thought about five or six months ago have been instituted over the past months. I talked directly about Google…
