Windows 10 Domination

Posted on April 22, 2019 adminLeave a commentPosted in Operating System

Millions of people use a computer on a daily basis for various reasons. With the digital age, it also means that most of our data have also gone digital and you need to keep up or else you will stagnate. It is common knowledge that the majority of computer users use a Windows PC and not Mac devices from Apple mainly because they are more cost-effective and still offer all if not the same functions as what you can usually find in an Apple device.

Over the past few years, Microsoft has been raising awareness for the public to make the switch to Windows 10 from its older operating systems. Many have already made the switch and if the estimates are correct, over half of companies are now using Windows 10 on their computers. This growth has been observed despite the slump in PC sales in the last year. It is especially true among enterprise computers or the ones used by big businesses and corporations in their day-to-day operation. This speaks a lot about the trust placed by these corporations …

The Power Of Data Recovery

To say that data is the new oil is an understatement. It certainly makes the world go round on a virtual level and runs almost all businesses and organizations in every part of the globe. Rarely would you come across a person who does not contribute to this pool of data with the popularity of social networking sites and even with the conversion of most human data into digital format for ease of access and distribution into various channels and platforms.

It is especially helpful among businessmen who can easily expand their business by having access to a big pool of data of their target customers online. There are different ways to utilize this data for marketing and it has proven effective over the years especially with ads popping now and then on social media and video-sharing platforms that the public often frequent.

There is one big problem, though, and it involves data privacy and security especially that many people have access to the private information of individuals even without their consent.

All over the world, the number of computer users is growing mainly because most services have gone digital and the public has no choice but to embrace all these advancements just to stay updated. More often than not, someone who owns smartphone or a tablet also owns a computer or a laptop. From students to high-ranking professionals both in public and private organizations need a good working laptop in doing their daily tasks.

Is It Worth Buying Your Personal Server?

Posted on January 28, 2019 adminLeave a commentPosted in Hard Drive Technology

With all the leaks, spying, and data stealing and loss happening today, it is enough to drive an ordinary person to buy their own servers for their safety and security especially that of their precious and sensitive data. You’d often see it on the news – breaches in security and computers and servers fall prey to malicious online hackers that use malware to tap into your system and steal your data. Other times they take advantage of your computing power – as in the case of cryptocurrency miners.

If you are a computer user, you can’t just be complacent anymore. You either need to upgrade your computer’s defenses or perhaps buy your own server? It may sound ludicrous to some but it is already an idea considered not just by ordinary people but may even be sold commercially anytime soon. You can’t blame the public in wanting to upgrade their computer safety nets with all the threats they face on the web. There’s also the possibility that some hardware parts and pieces contain chips allowing the culprit to spy on …

The Smartphone Era

Everywhere you look, you’d likely see a person glued to the screen of their smartphone. Almost everyone owns a phone or two and they spend a great deal of their time using it for various reasons. Smartphones have evolved to become like mini computers. Almost everything you do on a computer can now be done using your smartphone. It’s a major plus that it is extremely handy and convenient to use. You can use your smartphone for communication, which is essentially its main purpose back in the days. Then, you also use it for different purposes like a camera, calculator, calendar, saving notes, storing songs, clock and alarms, navigation, etc. but since it readily connects to WiFi, you can access the web anytime you want.

Our current addiction to social media and various apps are undeniable. People do not hesitate to spend hundreds to thousands in cash to keep up with all the latest smartphone advancements. In India alone, Indians are big spenders when it comes to smartphone purchases and it is just one part of the world. Other countries …

Most people can’t live without their computers now.

Almost everything has gone digital now it is a must to keep up if you want to stay updated in life. While we focus too much on the computer as a whole, we tend to overlook that one of its most crucial component – the hard drive – is actually where most of the action takes place.

Whether you are using an Apple or Windows PC, you still need a hard drive for your device to actually work. They can usually endure heavy computer usage but over time, normal wear and tear and other factors can cause it to break down and fail. Neglect or abuse of your device like power surges, not shutting it down properly, and certain mechanical failure on worn parts can trigger a hard drive failure. There are often tell-tale …

Making Sense Of Big Data

Posted on January 7, 2019 adminLeave a commentPosted in Enterprise Data Security, Server Recovery

Data makes the world go round. Well, it’s actually the World Wide Web but it is essentially where everyone is now. From ordinary individuals of all ages and walks of life to big businesses and organizations, we input so much data on the web. This information, in turn, is utilized by businesses with online platforms to target their customer base. While not all the time it is always for business, people keep on sharing data on the web and the amount of data circulating online is not always used optimally.

Take the case of enterprise data. They are so widespread but you can’t easily relate the data as one. It takes a lot of work understanding what all these big data is all about because you have to narrow down your search and make a thorough review of individual strands of data to make sense of it. Extracting and analyzing these data is already tedious in itself and the entire process takes longer to finish before you figure out what the data you have actually means. There are also a …

We live in a day and age where technology has become a crucial aspect of everyone’s lives. It is common to see tech gadgets everywhere and people can’t go about their day without checking in on their social media accounts using handheld smartphones, tablets, or computers. Aside from socializing, the main reason we use too much technology now is that most things have gone digital. Whether it be at school or at work, most tasks are done online or at least with the use of a computer or a similar gadget.

Since it is no longer avoidable to invest so much of our time with these modern contrivances, why not make the most of technology and optimize the benefits you get from either your smartphone or your computer.

Is It Time To Make The Switch: Mac To Windows?

Posted on December 24, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Computer Tips, Operating System

If you make a survey of all the computer users in the world, the majority are undoubtedly Windows users. Only a handful of the general population uses Apple products because the price is the first hindrance to most people. Apple gadgets are generally expensive and the price difference between other brands is so wide that the public would prefer buying the lesser known brand since it essentially does the same thing as what an Apple device can offer. So, no matter how superior Apple computers and cellular phones are, it is not enough to entice the public to choose it over the competition.

Meanwhile, Apple has a loyal customer-base who only uses Apple products from computers to smartphones over the years. But there are still a few who eventually switch from an iOS device to a Windows one for a lot of reasons. It is uncommon for Apple users to make the switch but as the years go by, more and more of their customers have grown fond of the functionality and other notable features of Windows computers that rather …

Problems With Your Hard Drive

Posted on December 20, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Hard Drive Technology

Your computer does so much for you that you feel lost without it. This piece of device holds so much data and does a multitude of function that virtually makes it irreplaceable. However, it also has its vulnerabilities. You should be extra careful when handling or using it because a simple mistake can render your computer useless. But which part of your device truly matters the most? Well, all parts are useful and thus important but if there is one aspect you should handle with most care then that has to be the hard drive.

The hard drive is like the lifeblood of your computer. It has moving parts making it more prone to wear and tear. Just imagine the daily stress it has to endure if you use your computer or laptop on a daily basis. It holds almost all the important data stored in your device, so you can quickly lose them all if you don’t back it up and your hard drive starts acting up and fails. When this happens, you can no longer access your data …

The Chinese Invasion On Apple And Amazon Servers

Posted on December 17, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Server Recovery

The world is getting smaller and smaller as technology continues to advance forward. Things that used to be a dream in the past are now our reality today. We are able to do many things that were once considered impossible several decades ago. While many of them benefits society at large, some are considered detrimental to humans in some aspects. Not only have we become addicted (and virtually slaves) of many tech gadgets but we also excessively share personal information on the web. Hackers can have access to this sensitive data and use it without your consent.

Now, there’s one juicy piece of news that you can’t afford to miss today. We all know that most products are now made in China because of cheap labor and stuff but intelligence associates recently discovered that a Chinese military team has now access to millions of data by inserting a microchip on Apple and Amazon servers based in China. These chips are barely visible to the naked eye but they hold so much power since they can’t just steal data but even …

Can You DIY Data Recovery?

Posted on December 14, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Server Recovery

Almost everyone right now owns a tech device or two or even more. Whether it is a smartphone, tablet or iPad, laptop, or computer, you store different types of data on these devices that can prove disastrous once they break down and you are no longer able to access them. It’s worse if you don’t have a backup in place because data recovery is your last resort in getting some, if not all, of your lost data back. These data can be anywhere from text files and documents to photos and videos that have different storage requirements.

But since you constantly use these devices in your day-to-day, it is inevitable for them to wear out and get corrupted or broken. Hence, you can never truly consider these devices for permanent data storage or at least save another copy in an external flash drive or hard drive for added security. There’s also the cloud that has made our lives even easier and more convenient these days. It is easier said than done, though, and we still go back to our old …

The Myth, The Legend: Trump – Conspiracy Theories, Anyone?

Posted on November 21, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Computer Server, Hard Drive Technology

You may think that conspiracy theories only happen in the movies, right? Well, most of the time it does but who says it can’t happen in real life too. You’d be surprised how more colorful and exciting true-to-life stories are than those works of fiction. Let’s just take for instance the last US election wherein the citizens of this land elected Donald Trump to the highest position in the country, the President of the United States of America. For someone who hasn’t served in public office at all, this is an astonishing feat and suffice it to say that his candidacy is also just as filled with fanfare and so many scandals.

The resurfacing of the issue on missing servers among others has been brought up recently. This is most likely related to the hacking of Russian Intelligence officers on the very same missing DNC servers on that fateful election that is arguably one of the most intense this nation has ever witnessed. It has segregated people into political parties: whether you are a Democrat or a Republican supporter. What’s …

Ransomware Attacks Everywhere

Modern life afforded us with so many conveniences and luxuries. Things we have only dreamed about in the past are now realities we continue to enjoy at the present. Who would’ve thought we can do so much with a device that fits the palm of our hands? It sounds absurd right if you told it to your own self, say, 15-20 years ago. Yet, that is the reality we are living in now. We live differently from way back then but we somehow thrive off this new and much more virtual lifestyle except for at times sacrificing our health because of too much exposure to technological gadgets that emit harmful blue light and all. Unfortunately, this new lifestyle has opened us up to a new vulnerability and it continues to threaten us until today.

Ransomware was the talk of the town last year. These apps took the world by storm and left in their wake hundreds of thousands of losses and even crippled organizations for days on end. This type of malware is not new to us but it keeps …

Data Recovery Is Never Easy

Posted on November 7, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Hard Drive Technology

It is so amazing how one device can hold so much data all at the same time and still enable you to do more without compromising speed, performance, and efficiency. Modern computers are indeed lifesavers since they allow us to multitask and take advantage of every opportunity out there so we don’t get left behind by the competition. Over the past few years, individuals, businesses, and organizations alike have all made a concerted effort in centralizing everything to ensure that all important files can be accessed in a click of a button whenever the need for it arises.

Unfortunately, things aren’t always smooth sailing. As much as we love technology, it has flaws that aren’t just costly but can give you headaches for days, too. This is an entirely new territory for many of us. Only a few have advanced technical knowledge who are well-versed on the digital lingo and has an extensive understanding of the ins and out of most modern contrivances as well as the World Wide Web. The majority of us are innocent consumers who know so …

The Future With Robots and Smartphones

You can no longer ignore the direction the planet is taking. Everything has gone technical, digital, and virtual if you know what I mean. Wherever you look, there is some sort of tech advancement that runs the place and ensures everything is in order. Even in our homes, it is also now filled with various tech contrivances that promise to enhance efficiency and make our lives easier and more comfortable.

This has its limitations, though, given that modern tech gadgets cost a lot and not everyone can afford them. But still, the demand continues to grow as other businesses come up with cheaper variants that the masses can afford using the existing technology that is taking the world by storm right now. While some argue that the existence of smartphones has rendered other technologies obsolete, it actually is the exact opposite.

Smartphones will continue to be a staple many can’t live without and demand for parts and other similar technologies are just as popular too. It is a domino effect that isn’t entirely bad for the automation market where other …

AI Is The Future

Technology is all around us today that we can only wonder just how far we can take it further in the coming years. A few years back, smartphones were still a luxury and only the elite can afford it but today, the masses have their own smartphones that allow them to access the web whenever and wherever. This has been made possible when cheaper and more mass-produced handsets are marketed and sold to reach a wider demographic. Hence, even ordinary individuals own a smart gadget that offers more or less the same features as popular brands like Apple and Samsung but only at a fraction of the price.

The technology that we know today continues to move forward and traverse uncharted territories. Let’s take artificial intelligence for example. We are already quite familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) per se even if the details are still a little vague to most people. It is even available in some technologies we are using. Think of Alexa and Siri and the likes. However, AI may eventually go mainstream with news …

What Leads To Hard Drive Problems?

Posted on September 12, 2018 admin1 CommentPosted in Hard Drive Technology

Your computer won’t always be brand new. You may have bought it shiny and sparkling new but it wears out the longer you use it. Even if you don’t use it that often every day, it still stores files and grow old every day the same way you do. And as such, it is inevitable that you face technical problems along the way. The problems are usually simple and easy to fix. A quick restart or shutdown of your device or a restart of the modem will usually do the job. However, some problems persist and can cause more headaches than you want it to be. It is even more infuriating if the problem lies on your hard drive because you can expect it to cost you more money than you’d like to spend on, actually.

Unfortunately, moving parts like hard drives will eventually fail on you because of the very fact that they move. Even newer ones like SSD’s (solid-state drives) fail although a bit longer than regular hard drives. These problems don’t come without notice, though. There are …

If you have been using your computer for a while, you’ll notice that it starts to slow down after a while. It does not work as fast as it used to and it takes a while for files to load and open. You are not alone. This is something that many experiences especially when they are using an older computer model. Even those who are using the latest models will also experience this slowing down of their PC system with all the updates being released as of late.

The Rise Of Pornography Through Digital Medium

Posted on August 12, 2018 adminLeave a commentPosted in Computer Tips

Humans have different sets of needs and want. Some of the ones crucial to life are food, sleep, water, and air. Then there are secondary necessities that we need but even if we don’t meet them does not necessarily mean it can lead to our demise. If you are familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, you can see the progression of our needs from the most basic to self-fulfillment. Sexual needs are among these human needs that perhaps the majority needs but some who practice celibacy have learned to live without.

Along with the rise of technology is the growing popularity of pornography on the web. While most websites exercise prudence and refrain from posting any videos, images, or texts that suggest a sexual innuendo because they have a wider audience demographics, some sites focus on this alone and are visited by lots of people daily to satiate their carnal desires. The problem here now is that both the young and the old can access these websites. And if you dig deeper into the dark web, there is an even …
