I still tell them about ubuntu; they hate it anyway :P but you are absolutely right about everything you've said.
I've quit doing business as a "job" I guess you could say; I do it strictly as a hobby I still fix people's PC as if I were getting paid but do it free now (I don't go advertising...
problem seems to be resolved for now, I forgot about this thread after it came back
I've never seen it get stuck at the POST screen but I've got an ASRock Extreme 6, I manually rebooted it because chrome was being flakey saying I didn't have internet when I infact did and I checked my NIC...
I can't even get into the BIOS hitting F2 or DEL doesn't help; it freezes at the post screen, so I'm wondering if there's a problem with the motherboard? I can't hear any beeps but that;'s cuz I don't have a PC speaker on it
I rebooted because I couldn't access websites even though I had a...
I've heard that before, I'm not worried about that I just don't want to make the mistake of this again if I can help it. Computer data is much more volatile than paper unless you light a match to that paper.
Good suggestions, thank you; I have macrium reflect for doing whole drive and whole...
I don't do any coding and I know that WYSIWYG are good for basic stuff, anything more complex you're just asking for trouble.
I'm not looking to code or create from scratch for that matter, if I need that I'll hire somebody otherwise I just want to do some basic edits or add my own basic...
Only place I can think of is to go to Microlancer they will find someone who will do what you want; I'm not sure I can say more than that as I am not sure of the board's rule about links to commercial websites.
I don't suppose anything can beat Adobe Creative Suite for all your needs; its the most ungodly expensive piece of software I've ever seen (other than specialized software for doing very specific professional stuff).
I use Corel Photo & Video suite, is it the very best? probably not, but it...
That's in the works, I intend to get that insurance. That still doesn't help resolve the issue of whether or not I should backup the customer's PC onsite its something I HAVE to charge for since I am at their place of business or residence.
I should talk to an E&O (errors & omissions)...
Perhaps, I'm not a fan of system restore as I've seen it mess up royally (not to the point you can't boot, but in terms of data loss).
Most people leave this alone (system restore); I seem to be the only one who turns them off :D
a disk image will protect me better than a system restore...
I'm guessing this is the proper place to talk about it,
There is nothing worse than finding out that some of your data is missing after a PC repair tech tries to remove some malware/viruses, etc. As a repair tech, this is one of my utmost concern; making sure that their files aren't lost...
So let me see if I understand this right; you're saying I could turn off all the java/flash options and I can still view flash/java content only in Chrome? Doesn't that make the browser more insecure?
What about uninstalling java/flash on the PC itself? I understand that Chrome has it all...
maybe int he future I might upgrade; I probably could have gone with i3; its only going to run 5 printers (zebra barcode printer, TSP100 cutter/receipt printer, postage printer x2 and of course the wireless HP Officejet and my point of sale system is browser based so there's no database for it...
NICE CARD! I didn't know that kind of thing existed, 4 would be nice but I tried 3 widescreens and I was overwhelmed by it so I dropped back to 2; I actually prefer the "square" than the "rectangle" (or known as 5:10/4:3 instead of 16:9) my vision impairment doesn't accommodate 16:9 very well...
