    Windows 11

    "Phishing" involves attacking the weakest part of your security system: you. Phishing attacks often send official-looking forms and statements requiring you to sign in when you didn't have to sign in before. And one tech site warns that as new users get Windows 11, they might be tricked into...

    Yamamoto! (Don't build one)

    In the very early days of personal computing, we often used TV sets for monitors. We considered the low-powered CPUs and RAM chips as powerful but expensive monsters. And a few people built Yamamotos. At a high cost, they bought the most powerful chip available and bought all the RAM it could...

    BIOS for Dummies

    Windows 11

    Folks, I've been closely following the new Windows 11 operating system, and I've seen that a lot of emotions have clouded the issues. The simple truth is that Windows 11 is a massive upgrade to Windows 10 that will only work on new, powerful computers. Windows 10 will continue to work fine on...

    Rating the iPad 1

    Someone donated a working 2010 Apple iPad 1, so I got right on it. With 1\4 gigabyte of RAM and a single-core 32 bit Atom chip, this touchscreen device easily surfs the web and plays YouTube videos. Its 9 1\2 inch screen is bright and clear. You have to buy an Apple card to download games and...

    Brand New Windows 8.1 Laptop

    We bought a cheap new laptop yesterday for half what it costs in the US. The price was reduced because it has Windows 8.1, and the free upgrade has expired. After the usual hassle getting rid of McAfee anti-virus, it runs well. But five of the ten people who walk their dogs at the lake every...

    Learning to use the "Bash" command line

    Folks, "bash" is a command-line program in Linux. In early August, it will be introduced to Windows 10. I am struggling to learn how to use it, although (being a geek) it is interesting. If you don't know what I'm talking about, in your Linux program, find "Terminal." That will get you to the...

    The Friendly African Ground Squirrel

    On another computer, I'm upgrading Linux from "Wily Werewolf" to "Xenial Xerus" ("Friendly African Ground Squirrel"). It should take a few hours, and then we can discuss it on this thread. PS. I'm not the one who invents these names, okay?

    Posting from Ubuntu Linux for the first time

    Bill Taylor will be proud of me. For about $16 US, I paid a computer shop to install Ubuntu on an 8 gig thumb drive. It is not difficult. During start-up, I had to press F11 (This will vary on different computers) to get the option to boot off a thumb drive. A tiny Ubuntu icon appeared, and...

    ¿Should You Buy Your First Chromebook?

    I finally found my first Chromebook, made sure that I had a seven-day return guarantee, and got to work. When I plugged it in and turned it on, it asked me what language I wanted. Choosing English was easy. Unlike Windows, there is only one Chrome Operating System. Chromebooks cannot refuse...

    Folks, I'm going to let you in on a deep dark secret about Windows 10 forums that few readers know: Most of their solutions don't work.

    Conspiracy Theory?
