                                    Microsoft Makes Updates Hassle-Free If you’re like most people, system updates can feel like a nuisance. They take forever, and those large downloads can hog bandwidth and storage space. But here’s some good news : Microsoft is about to make your life much easier with the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update. This update introduces something called ‘checkpoint cumulative updates.’ While it may sound a bit technical, it’s actually straightforward and highly beneficial. Typically, Windows receives monthly updates known as cumulative updates, which bundle together the latest fixes and enhancements. These bundles can be hefty, requiring significant time to download and install. The new checkpoint cumulative updates simplify this process. Instead of downloading a large update each time, your system will receive smaller, more frequent updates. These updates are incremental changes to the last major update or checkpoint. So, what does this mean for y

  More businesses are proactively investing in cyber security defences   More and more businesses are making the smart decision to be proactive and invest in their cyber security defences. This is fantastic news, especially since stats show that about half of small and medium-sized businesses still have no cyber security measures at all.   If your business falls into that category, it’s time to change.   Cyber security might sound complex, but it starts with a few simple steps. Let’s talk about some basics you can put in place right away.   First, think about encryption and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Encryption is like putting your data in a secure vault. It ensures that even if someone intercepts your information, they can't read it without the encryption key.   MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to verify your identity using a second device, like your phone, whenever you log in. It’s a bit like needing two keys to open a lock ins

Imagine this: you’re searching for something important for your business – maybe it’s market research or the latest trends in your industry. You type in your query, and you get results from not one but two search engines at the same time. How does it work?   Let’s break it down. Say Bing is your default search engine. Now, when you hit the search icon, you won’t just see Bing’s results, you’ll also get a peek at what Google (or your alternative search engine of choice) has to offer. This dual view works both ways, ensuring you’re not missing out on an

We’re being promised a faster and easier way to work. And we all could use a bit of that, couldn’t we? The new Teams is like the superhero of apps for Windows and Mac. It’s faster than a speeding bullet… well, at least twice as fast as the classic version. Plus, it’s on a diet, using up to 50% less memory and disk space. Microsoft went back to the drawing board to reimagine it, make it simpler and more flexible. Now Teams: Plays better with third-party apps Is happier calling phones outside of Teams Gets you into meetings quicker than you can say “not another meeting” This pumped-up version of Teams uses some tech which allows it to share resources with your browser.
