Technology evolves constantly. With the rapid rise of cloud computing, new platforms, tablet computers, smartphones and hybrids, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and open blockchains, keeping up with change is a constant, continuing operation. Although future-oriented, this is not about speculation, equipment, rumour mills, or the pride and joy of actually 'owning' any of the newest tech or hardware, ultimately it's about what we should accomplish with it, the content or material that we really should be enjoying or creating by actually using it, an ability to always have things to hand, how it should make tasks truly efficient and also enhance many of life's truly fascinating and beautiful things. Whilst looking 'beyond the surface' of personal computing and using the most popular operating systems, harvesting useful hints, tips, news, and information relevant to domestic technology; Mike Cutmore (an independent sole trader in the Braintree, Essex. UK area), established ‘fixmypc.24ex’ in 2006. Mike enjoys Windows, Android, Chrome OS, iOS and Linux and constantly moves forward encompassing trends as they evolve with relation to use of technology and provides a dedicated bespoke 24-hour domestic personal computer support service.

I don't own a "proper" camera - my phone is even better | Digital Camera World
Your phone is way more convenient. It's almost always with you, it's small, light, and doesn't require a camera bag. Set-up time is negligible, and there's no need to mess about with a memory card or swap lenses.

A Linux-backed project shows how to save unsupported Windows 10 PCs by installing Linux - Neowin
While upgrading a PC does make sense in case it is really old or has too few CPU cores/threads, that may not be necessary at all for many users out there. ESET, for example, last year recommended that users on Windows 10 devices that can't officially upgrade to 11 should instead move over to Linux.

Microsoft wants you to upgrade to TPM 2.0, but what does it actually do?
WTF is TPM 2.0 for...what is it, exactly? And why do people with older CPUs have to throw it out and upgrade to get it? Can't you just download TPM 2.0 onto your PC and be done with it? Let's check it out.

Over the course of the three decades that the USB connectivity standard has existed, there have been so many variations and revisions of USB that finding the right cable or charger was more confusing than it needed to be.

The hidden cost of your cloud storage – and how to clean it up | The Independent
It feels like a great, banal paradox of modern life: we’re always signing up for more storage, and constantly on the verge of running out. iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox: many of us are fully paid-up customers of them all, for a mixture of personal and professional purposes – and the expense can slowly but surely creep up.
