Passwords! The ransomware attack on the City of Hamilton should be a wake up call to all who use the SAME PASSWORD for everything... It is time to go in a CHANGE and UPDATE your passwords. Your Bank & CC passwords should not be the same - and not the same as any other - your eMail passwords should be different - do not allow a cascade from a business or friend's account getting hit - to hurt you - ADD 2 Step verification to ALL your accounts - and update your contact information - it is useless to have a Home Phone number associated anymore - only Cell phones capable of receiving text messages will do...

Coming soon... at Ancaster Senior Achievement Senior - in conjunction with my friends at Cogeco Cable, contact the centre to register. This includes a presentation on Internet Safety, Email Scams, and FREE device support!

Thank you Neil Silvert

New update to iOS for iPhones 17.3.1 - please do this immediately. New setting in security that only allows password to be reset in known locations - this is very smart. It only shows up after the update!

Apple sold us on the concept that sharing across devices is effortless with iCloud, all you need is your Apple ID... except for your MUSIC! You can no longer share your music across UNLESS you have Apple Music - did I sleep through people making a fuss about this????

Black Friday deals are on… got my brainer iPhone 15 from our friend mark at TBooth - and busy upgrading my clients and students
If you’re ready, I can help

A bold claim…

The real award is that ahhhh when I solve a frustration for my students and clients… but this is nice too!

This is nice…

This is nice…

Such a clever idea, had to share…🙄

I won this Award in 2021, and was very excited…and just received this… so apparently in the running again…

Koodo - if you are having issues with Voice calls on your cellphone - your probably need to replace the SIM card - go to any Koodo outlet - it's free because it is a known issue... underwater conversations, dropped calls, etc - it's not you - it's them!

At the Senior KickOff Constable Ryan, Hamilton Police, Crimes Against Seniors, shared some valuable information about scams - all this ‘sharing’ about one’s life, family, and vacations- is fodder for the rip off artists, it is scary how easy it is to pick up habits, patterns and vulnerabilities
BE SMART!

Chartwell Make A Wish Foundation- amazing

This is not real - Apple Users!!! This is a new scam coming to devices - it is not iCloud - if you are out of storage space in iCloud, you will be notified through settings - NOT email, or messaging. Do Not Tap on it

Be careful - Bell is advertising a great price for amazingly fast internet - 1.5GB speed for only $75 for two years - except the ad states that they won't be held to that price for the length of the contract... poor business practive
