Hot Topics

  • Winter Storms in North TX; is Mr. Computer still doing house calls? (January 16, 2024)

    • Yes, the storms don’t bother me, nor do they bother my 4x4 Work Truck. Call me and let’s get your problems fixed.

  • My computer says I should call Microsoft for assistance with an infected file, should I call? (July 11, 2023)

    • 99% of the time, that pop up is part of a scam. Do not call/trust them. The phone number is not Microsoft, it is a scammer. Their goal is to talk you into letting them remote into your computer where they will then try to extract passwords or gain access to bank accounts.

  • Should I update my iPhone to iOS 16.3 ? (February 1, 2023)

    • Apple is urging customers to update their iPhones and iPads to iOS 16.3 to resolve what they consider critical security flaws. I have personally installed this update on my iPhone 14 and had no problems or loss of speed.

  • Are Cookies Dangerous ? (July 11, 2022)

    • Short answer, probably not. Ultimately, they are rarely a problem. As a matter of fact, accepting them will help your computer work properly with many websites. A cookie is essentially a piece of YOUR personal data that's being put on YOUR computer. The problem isn't often having or accepting cookies, the problem is when your they are compromised/read by a malicious third party. If you'd like a deep dive into the subject, read the linked article below. If not, you should consider temporarily purging the cookies from your computer.

    • To better serve our customers, Mr. Computer has updated all of our Data Recovery equipment to use Thunderbolt 4 and 12 Core Processing. This upgrade allows us to perform most data recoveries in the field AND at a FRACTION of the price of our competitors.

  • GMail Accounts & Outlook Problems (June 12, 2022 update)

    • Customers nationwide are reporting problems with certain versions of Outlook failing to work with their GMail email accounts. Error messages say the password is incorrect even when using the correct password. If you have problems like this, call to schedule an appointment.

  • Should I switch to Windows 11?

    • As of May 19, 2022 I would say definitely NO. There are still a variety of problems that customers are running into with regards to reliability, compatibility as well as network file access and file sharing. On top of that, very few customers report that they like the user interface (menu system) and they find it difficult to maneuver. Classic menus cannot YET be installed on Windows 11 so there is no way to retrofit Windows 11 to look and feel like older versions of Windows that you may be more used to.

  • What is Mesh Wireless and should I get it?

    • Mesh WiFi is replacing unreliable WiFi systems all around the world right now. Instead of using a traditional wireless router, mesh networks use a series of wireless boxes that work in conjunction throughout your home/business to create WiFi that is faster and more reliable than anything you’ve experienced before. Be sure to try our Mesh Calculator and see what it would cost to install “Bulletproof WiFi” at your home/business.
