As I've written before, the age of Apple being virus proof is over. Luckily, viruses on Macs haven't spread like wildfire. As a tech, I'm surprised by this. I'm used to seeing things evolve quickly on the internet. Ransomware is one of those things.
Ransomware has been around for decades. Only recently, has it taken off and been terrorizing people and organizations around the world. Locking up computers and asking for a ransom. You might have seen something about it on the news recently.
Now, we actually have malware programmers offering ransomware as a service. Someone can pay them and get ransomware to infect computers with. This is such a big change in how previous viruses worked. This is super dangerous for organizations and businesses. If you have a disgruntled worker, they can hire these programmers to create ransomware. Get a hold of this malware. Go back to work and infect all the computers locally. A very scary scenario.
However, you have time. The ransomware being offered is weak and can be detected by antivirus software. And, no matter what kind of computer you have, I always recommend some kind of antivirus software. The free ones are fine. It's what I install for the majority of my customers as a courtesy.
If you feel your computer has been infected with ransomware, disconnect it from the network. Call me or your computer tech to resolve the matter immediately.
I love to share my work from time to time on Instagram and other social media. So, it's always nice to get some local recognition on local social media. I love to help my customers. I also love to help local businesses. Be sure to follow shoplocalcc on Instagram.
Freedom isn't free. That's a fact. There are cemeteries around this great nation with military members that have been laid to rest for making the ultimate sacrifice. And, because of that sacrifice we live in peace. We live in a world filled with freedom and opportunity. I don't take it lightly.
I have to take this time to say that I am grateful. And, to the families that bear the burden of such sacrifices: Thank you. My heart goes out to you.
Different companies have been blocking customers' ability to repair their own devices. Of course, this has been something that has been going on for decades. We've all seen that Void Warranty sticker that can tear if the device is taken apart.
Now, Apple has taken this step by preventing the latest iPhone from using a new or used home button. Of course, this is on purpose. It prevents you or a third party repair shop from fixing it. But, if you take it to an Apple Store, they'll gladly replace with no problem. They claim it deals with user security. That's up for debate. And, you're lucky if you have an Apple Store down the street. No inconvenience for you.
However, I live in Corpus Christi, Texas. The closest Apple Store is in the San Antonio area. Which is about a 4 hour drive round trip. A total nightmare for someone that needs their phone fixed immediately. That's if you can get an appointment within the same day.
The Right to Repair is near and dear to my heart. Not only because I make a living off of it, but because I believe in empowering people through technology. People should know how to repair their own possessions. I might be a computer tech, but I've repair my vehicles and my lawnmower a number of times. Saving me hundreds of dollars through the years. Have there been vehicle repairs I couldn't do? Yes. That's where hiring a technician comes in and saves the day and myself from a big headache.
Not only is repairing your own devices good for your wallet, it's also good for the planet. Repairing is Recycling. Some people are in too much of a habit to throw away things that can easily be repaired. It's enough that companies will sooner or later break your phone or laptop by making it obsolete for the latest software update. When it comes to that point do recycle your devices properly.
So, as far as companies preventing users from repairing their own devices, this is a trend I would like to see go away. I believe in the Right to Repair for all people. Stay informed and connect with me online.
If you have any questions, message me or give me a call.
