Stopped a booking. com fraud the other day. A support customer was getting texts about her booking and offered a half price option with a convincing fake website behind it. Website was brand new and blocked by our DNS tool. Morale: Don't trust different methods of contact.

Webroot DNS helped spot £90k fraud attempt at our customer yesterday. Spotted a resurrected website as new (blocked it) which alerted my customer to the fact that the email from a 10Mil company was using an old domain name . The 90k account that would have been set up was denied

The latest Windows updates may lead to a black screen (sometimes with a mouse pointer). We've waited 10 mins before being forced to do a hard reboot (power off via button). Windows will then finish the updates, but may do 5 or 6 auto-reboots before really finishing.

Got a few bits of RGB Marvo gaming kit in for Christmas. Great kit for the price, especially the mechanical keyboards which cost a fortune from major brands.

Microsoft has now announced windows 10 patches for security will be offered on home and pro versions of windows (previously it was only enterprise versions). They are a bit reluctant to give out pricing, I wonder if there's a lot of windows 11 kit still to sell?

Just saw a pop up on some windows 10 machines on boot mentioning that windows 10 will end October 2025. Many features you might want from an old computer can now easily be done with Linux (we like MINT) so all is not lost for old kit even in 16 months.

[Fast and Easy Computers @fasteasycom]

I've found the Microsoft page that says Windows 10 will have support beyond October 2025. Its going to be paid, they are coy on pricing atm, but its not a throw away day for many systems. https://t.co/dPbqtKQ6eF

Everyone loves a dirty picture on twitter.
This was a mission-critical machine which interfaces to a factory's CNC machines. (it's clean now). Surprisingly this was in an office!

@gingerincjules The worst upgrade (downgrade) I can remember. Get AI lose useful features like dragging files between accounts.

Sage 50 can't email to new outlook error: When you "upgrade" to the new outlook, Sage may stop being able to send out using it. We've tracked this down to profile connectivity. Recreating a new outlook profile fixes. No programs need reinstalling or sage settings changing.
