Posted on January 4, 2022

If you do a lot of traveling you have probably found yourself stuck in a hotel room with a weak WiFi signal on more than one occasion.

How to get instant help with Windows Commands

Posted on January 4, 2022

These days most everyone is familiar with Windows’ sleek Graphical User Interface (i.e. GUI) and how it allows us to do most anything with a click or two of the mouse.

How to create really secure passwords that are easy to remember

Posted on December 4, 2021

It’s quite quite easy to do one or the other, but doing both at the same time can be a headache. But it doesn’t have to be.

Lots of folks rely on password managers to help keep their online accounts secure, but I don’t recommend that because using a password manager puts your entire digital life at risk.

The good news is you don’t need to use a password manager in order to create extremely secure (and unique) passwords for each of your online accounts – and remember easily them!
