I agree and yet my experience is that the partially patched companies tend to be hit more than those who don’t patch at all. The partially patched often believe they’re better off and get sloppy.

Oh, ok, same to you, my friend

Are you kidding? I said, "good morning" to you at least an hour ago.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGHHHCOUGH?

EEEH?

In college music history courses, better professors delight in speaking of the French horn which is German and the English horn which is Polish (or Czech…the boundaries keep changing).

AAAHHHHH?

BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPP

This hit especially hard, today.

Almost forgot. It’s been awhile. Adding my old tag

Why? Because your computer and web browser (Chrome, Firefox) and other apps all need a moment for software updates.

Sometimes updates come at us daily.

Weekly will get you better off than most people. Like your neighbor who locked her door the night you got robbed and she didn’t?

@sunnamiina.bsky.social lilcrow12.bsky.social‬ If this is boring for your nerd friends then they're reasonably advanced in networking. I am, too, but prefer privacy...so this isn't boring. The problem is that most home/consumer WiFi systems are made to block internet. Message me if you want more...

I’m launching my Human Tech Digital Organization course and we will get you there. DM me if interested or wait here for more.

Backups: could you restore all of your email, files, contacts, calendar, programs, bookmarks, and everything else after losing your computer and phone while away from home? Why not?!?

Email: I’ll lend you my 20 books on email organization, but I’ll explain why most of them are wrong and how to make sure you don’t lose access to this most vital of resources….

Calendars: get everyone in your family, friends, and work lives in sync, even if you prefer a paper planner….

Contacts: get rid of duplicates, get the same search results on all of your devices….

You’re not incompetent. Your devices and the apps are! They’re made with assumptions baked in…no, they’re burnt in.
