Our thoughts on the Lastpass security breach. If you use Lastpass, we are not concerned unless either of the following is true. 1) You used your master password on other sites, or 2) Your master password wasn't strong (less than 12 characters). Without the master password, hackers cannot use the data they acquired. If either of those are true, you should change passwords on all sites stored in Lastpass and make your Lastpass master password strong. We can advise how to come up with an easy to remember very strong master password.

Saw this and sharing... your passwords don't have to be crazy complicated, but they DO need to be long! You can make them a sentence even - "MyDog'sNameIsSpot!" is a great password.

The Apple Pencil is remarkable tool... here's a great short video on some amazing things it can do and how the iPad makes it great. https://youtu.be/uAUV34LEP2U

The Apple iPads in all variations are truly remarkable. If you think they're "just" a tablet, think again. You can do so many things, including things you cannot easily do with a laptop, and so many features are built in with its apps or free apps it likely ends up costing a lot less than a laptop. A simple example would be editing PDFs. Don't want to pay Adobe's subscription fees? Use an iPad! Want to replace pen and paper and keep organized? Use an iPad! Want an easy way to watch tv, streaming services, youtube, etc.? Use an iPad. Want to avoid viruses and not have to pay for anti-virus software? You get the idea.

If you think computer security risks are overblown, think again and read this. And it's getting worse. https://apnews.com/article/europe-canada-health-coronavirus-technology-288c8979c10b648ba72a4b0fc34b02ac

You Need to Opt Out of Amazon Sidewalk Have you heard of Amazon Sidewalk? Probably not. But there is a good chance that you or someone you know has an Amazon Echo or Ring camera. And if you own one of those devices and live in the U.S. (or know someone who does), you need to tell them to opt-out of the service as soon as possible.

The charging port stopped working on a 2018 iPad Pro here. Contacted apple (applecare) through the iPad - they called back in TWO MINUTES. In 2 days a new iPad was here via FedEx. In an hour the new iPad was restored from a cloud backup of the broken iPad. The old iPad is now boxed in Apple's shipping box (the new one came in) with their prepaid return label on it. Shout out for GREAT service.

We strongly recommend against using the TikTok app - it is attempting to gather as much information about you, your apps, your passwords, your usage, and anything else, and trying to hide the fact that it does these things. All this data is sent to China.
