Updated 10/18/23 to include other accounts besides email.
You may have signed up for your email account long ago – before additional account recovery information was required. If you get locked out of your email account tomorrow, does your account have enough account recovery information to allow you to easily reset your password and get back into your account?
Account recovery information includes other methods to confirm your identity including:
A mobile phone number that can receive a text message
A secondary email address
Account security questions – i.e. “your first pet’s name”
This year we’ve had several clients get permanently locked out of their AT&T/Yahoo email and other accounts because there wasn’t enough secondary verifiable information to convince the customer support representative to reset the password. Don’t let that happen to you. Log into your email account today – before a hacker does – to update your profile information with a cell phone number that can receive one-time-password verification text messages. Alternatively or additionally you could provide a secondary email address or setup account security questions/answers. If available, setup 2-Step Verification – sometimes called Multi-Factor Authentication – for even better protection.
Don’t forget to secure your other accounts
While you’re securing your email account, we also recommend securing your other accounts that could be accessed by hackers. Those accounts include:
Bank and brokerage accounts where funds could be transferred out by a scammer
Social media accounts where someone could take over your identity to scam your friends and family
Your Microsoft, Apple and/or Google accounts which are used to login to your computer or mobile device
To secure your accounts as mentioned above, once logged into one of your online accounts, look for a section called profile or security to make the changes and additions. Instructions for some common accounts include:
The next time you’re browsing on your computer, and you see a quiz on Facebook or another social media site that looks appealing, think before you click.
With the political season back upon us, you need to be aware of how the data you share in these quizzes might be used.
You might not think that a quiz about your favorite foods or personality type will be beneficial to political parties but, these days, you never know. Any data you share could ultimately be used for political profiling.
What is political profiling?
Profiling is a method of analyzing individuals’ data to classify them into groups or sectors. Political parties have used profiling techniques for decades, but it has entered a new realm in light of the internet.
With tools like artificial intelligence and data analytics, political parties can create detailed profiles about individuals and groups, which could even be used to unethically manipulate their political choices through fake news and social media advertisements.
In this event, Cambridge Analytica collected the data of millions of people via an app called This Is Your Digital Life. The app was an online survey that asked users questions about their political preferences and personality traits. All of the answers given in this quiz were then used for data analysis during the 2016 presidential election campaign.
As a side note, if you’re worried about third parties having access to your data, contact us. We can help you improve your online data privacy and reduce unwanted advertisements.
How do political parties use profiling?
Profiling is used as the basis for targeted online content that is aimed at specific, tailored audiences. With Facebook ads, political parties can create highly personalized content and choose who to share it with, so they know it will have the most impact.
Unfortunately, because Facebook and other social media sites allow such targeted ads, this means that end users don’t get a complete or fair picture of the political sphere. You may only see specific messages over and over again, which can lead to misinformation and swing votes unfairly.
What should I do to avoid being profiled?
Aside from avoiding online surveys, you can do a few things to help prevent the spread of misinformation during the political season. You might think that these ads won’t target you, but older citizens are actually a prime demographic for political parties.
To ensure fair political outcomes, it’s important to educate yourself on the spread of false information. While players like Facebook and Twitter are working to stop the spread of fake news, you also need to do your own due diligence.
Always fact check before sharing a post on social media. This will make sure that you only spread accurate, legitimate news and stories.
Check the source of the news or story before your share. Mainstream news is the best source you can rely on. Information shared by a friend or relative – unless it is a first person account – is not always reliable, as you don’t know where they might have shared the story from.
Look out for what the story is trying to prove or disprove. Often, fake news stories will have a clear agenda, such as discrediting a person or group of people. If a story is hammering into one person or group, there may be bias motivations behind it. You should also be wary of stories from a specific political party or candidate, as they have a clear agenda to show themselves in a better light and discredit their opponents.
Watch out for highly emotive stories. While some news stories may make you feel sad or shocked, some fake news pieces are designed to elicit an emotive response. By making you feel something, fraudsters are hoping you will react quickly – without thinking it through.
Be aware of your own confirmation bias. If you see a story that aligns with your views and emotions, you’re more likely to believe it. This phenomenon is known as confirmation bias. In line with this, people over 65 were more likely to share false or misleading content on Facebook during the 2016 presidential campaign. If your data is being used for profiling, you’ll likely see many stories like this. Just by being aware of profiling and confirmation bias, you can prevent the spread of misinformation.

QR is an acronym for quick response – which makes sense as QR codes respond very quickly to requests to use them. Essentially, a QR code is a square-shaped barcode that you can scan with your mobile phone to load a website or application. QR codes can also be used to load phone numbers, login pages, and Wi-Fi details.
QR codes have their origin in the business world. They were invented to help improve the speed of supply chain processes. Over the last few years, though, QR codes have firmly entered the consumer world. Most recently, QR codes have become an essential part of the pandemic response, helping to facilitate ‘contactless’ services.
You may have been to a restaurant and noted a QR code sticker on your table. Your server may have asked you to use the QR code to load the menu instead of receiving a paper one. Similarly, QR codes have also been used for contact tracing to help keep track of COVID-19.
While QR codes are really useful, they can seem daunting if you don’t know how to use them. In fact, a YouGov study found 14% of Americans find QR codes to be challenging to use, with adults over the age of 65+ especially are likely to say so (20%).
Below, we’ll explain how to use QR codes. We’ll also help you to understand which QR codes are safe to use – and which you should be wary of.
How do I use a QR code?
Most mobile phones that have cameras have QR scanner capabilities. If you have an older mobile phone, your camera might not come with this capability. In this case, you should be able to download a QR scanning app from the Apple Store or Google Play. If you’d like assistance with this, let us know, and we can help.
Once that’s done, it takes just a few simple steps to scan a QR code.
Open the QR application or the camera on your phone.
Point your camera at the QR code – DO NOT press the shutter button to take a picture. Line up your camera so that all four corners of the code are in view.
Click the link that’s presented.
Your phone will now do the work for you! It should automatically take you to the website, application or data attached to the QR code.
Are QR codes safe?
Legitimate QR codes are safe to use. You need to be wary, though, of fraudulent QR codes that are made by cybercriminals. These codes look like legitimate QR codes but have dangerous consequences.
A malicious QR code might:
Install malware onto your phone
Take you to a malicious website that asks you to hand over personal details or financial information
Make your device join a suspicious Wi-Fi network that allows attackers to see and steal your data
Because we can’t read QR codes, it’s very easy to fall for a QR code scam. Plus, as these codes are increasingly popular, hackers are betting on the fact that people won’t suspect anything untoward.
Most recently, the FBI has warned of a scam in Texas, where hackers have been placing fraudulent QR codes near parking meters in Austin. Many civilians have scanned the codes to pay for parking, but the codes actually lead to a fake payment website. Not only are people getting parking tickets, but they’re paying hackers! It’s unknown whether the hackers are also stealing the credit card information given on the fake website – but it’s very possible!
This type of attack will become increasingly common. We’ll see more and more hackers print malicious QR codes and place them in public in order to trick people.
Don’t fall victim to a QR code scam!
This kind of scam shouldn’t put you off using QR codes entirely. You just need to be careful about the ones that you use.
We recommend being wary of all codes posted in public places. Make sure to inspect the code before scanning. It’s also helpful to look at the URL of the QR code if you have scanned it. Legitimate URLs are easy to spot, such as https://computertechsreno.com/ Look at the grammar, punctuation and spelling on the website to make sure it appears legitimate – particularly if the website is asking for payment details.
Malicious URLs tend to have spelling mistakes and are suspiciously long.
If you’re still unsure, don’t scan the QR code. We advise avoiding scanning all codes attached to street poles – as these can’t be trusted.
Generally speaking, QR codes on restaurant tables and in shops can mostly be trusted – but always check with a member of staff if you’re not sure. You can scan QR codes from sources you trust, like on TV, on popular websites, or a trusted person’s business card.
If you’re not sure about a QR code, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can help you to protect your mobile phone. If you’d like assistance, contact your tech, or scan the following QR code with your smartphone:
Scan the QR Code above from your smartphone to have it take you to https://computertechsreno.com/contact/
You may have heard about 3G cellular networks being shut down this year. Fortunately your cellular service provider should have notified you about the change long ago so you’ve likely already changed to a compatible 4G or 5G device.
So what is 3G, 4G, 5G?
3G, 4G and 5G are mobile wireless cellular radiotelephone generations. 3G networks were introduced in 1998, and eventually replaced earlier 2G and 1st generation mobile networks. 4G was first deployed in the United States by Verizon in 2011. 5G networks began deployment in 2019, and are predicted to have over 1.7 billion subscribers by 2025. But now wireless carriers want to free-up the frequencies used by 3G networks for 5G networks.
What’s so great about 5G?
5G – or the 5th generation of wireless cellular networks – brings faster data speeds mainly through newly available frequencies that allow more data and digital phone calls from more users to be transmitted simultaneously. The new frequencies were previously underutilized or freed up from other users of the wireless spectrum, and sold at auction to many of the big-name wireless carriers. Much of the new spectrum is at very high frequencies (3 GHz+) – which doesn’t travel as far or penetrate buildings as well as the original wireless cellular frequencies in the 0.6 to 2.5 GHz range.
5G (generation) cellular vs 5 GHz (frequency) Wi-Fi
As mentioned above, 5G cellular refers to the new 5th generation of wireless cellular networks, whereas your home Wi-Fi may display “5G” meaning the 5 GHz frequency available on most modern Wi-Fi routers.
We are truly in the age of overwhelming choice when it comes to TV. There are more shows available to watch than ever before – across more platforms than we can keep count of. As well as cable, there’s a host of streaming services out there like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Hulu.
With so much choice, deciding which option is best for you can be tricky. Should you ‘cut the cord’ and move to streaming? If so, which platform? Is streaming even better than cable or satellite TV anyway?
These might be some of your questions. We’ll aim to answer them below.
First things first: what is streaming?
Streaming is a form of video sharing that occurs over the internet rather than via your cable box or satellite dish.
Is streaming more cost-effective than cable?
We all know that cable TV can be expensive. DecisionData.org found that the average US cable bill is $217.42 per month or $2,549 annually.
Given this price, many people think a streaming service will be much cheaper. This is technically true in some cases, as services like Netflix or HBO Max cost about $15/mo.
However, not all streaming platforms come in at this low price. For example, YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV start at about $65/month – but they include many channels and networks.
If you replace cable/satellite TV with one streaming platform, you will likely save money. However, the average US household subscribes to four streaming services, which can quickly add up to the same price – if not more – than your cable/satellite TV bill.
Each streaming platform creates its own unique shows, as well as loaning older TV shows for its users to watch. If you only opt for one streaming service, you’ll undoubtedly miss out on some shows you want to watch.
To that end, we advise you to carefully look at the streaming services out there and compare them with your cable TV programming schedule. If, for example, you’re a big sports fan, cable/satellite TV is the best bet for you. If you don’t care about sports and want access to a lot of TV series on demand, then a streaming service could work well.
Here’s some resources to see what networks are on the different services:
Suppose TV – A tool for searching and comparing video services
The Streamable – Search for movies, TV shows, channels, sports teams, streaming services, apps, and devices.
Is your internet connection up to snuff for streaming?
Yes, you still need to pay for a robust, high-speed internet connection to stream videos. Netflix states that the minimum speed you need to stream high definition video is 5 megabits per second – so if you still have DSL internet, you may not be able to stream. The minimum price for high-speed internet that’s compatible for streaming is about $50/month.
If the internet connection into your home is not right next to your TV(s), you’ll need to make sure that your wireless/Wi-Fi connection is up to streaming – otherwise you may see a lot of pauses and buffering when streaming.
If you’re not sure whether your internet service or Wi-Fi connection is suitable for streaming, contact us. We’ll be happy to take a look for you and talk you through your options.
How to stream – using the right equipment
Most new televisions sold today are “Smart TVs” that can connect to the internet and have apps for the major streaming providers such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. But if a new streaming provider comes along, Smart TVs are typically the last device to be able to add apps to support new services.
If you want the flexibility to add new services as well as more choices, you’ll want to consider getting a streaming device to connect to your TV. The most popular devices include Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast. Here’s a review of the best streaming devices.
If you’re used to using a DVR to be able to pause and record live and scheduled broadcasts – that feature only comes on the high-priced services that include live TV (YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV). Most other services offer on-demand streaming of programs in lieu of a DVR.
Are you prepared to learn how to use streaming?
Another thing to consider with streaming is the hassle and administration that comes with learning how to use a new interface, getting it set up on your TV and finding the right channel each time.
With cable/satellite TV, things are easy. You just click the remote, and the channels appear. With streaming, though, this isn’t the case. To stream, you may need to switch to a different input source on your TV, and then find the application that has the program you want to watch. Each streaming service also has its own unique interface that you need to learn how to use.
Final thoughts
Ultimately, whether or not you opt for a streaming service will depend on your unique preferences.
If a streaming service has a show that you’re desperate to watch, then you should go for it! We’ll be happy to help you set up the service and teach you how to use it, so you can stream with confidence. Hopefully the show will still be available on the same service next month – as contracts with content providers and streaming services are ever-changing.
Saying this, if you’re only thinking about moving to streaming because everyone else seems to be, then we advise that you don’t bother. Cable/satellite TV still has a lot of great shows that you can watch.
Plus, despite what people say, streaming isn’t necessarily less expensive than cable – especially as most people will purchase more than one streaming service.

Tablets have become a popular mobile device that fits a gap between the personal computer and the smartphone. It’s not always convenient to go to your computer to look up a website, and smartphone screens are so small that the experience just isn’t the same.
When lounging on the sofa or traveling, tablets can provide a good experience for shopping online, browsing certain sites, or accessing social media. But, they do have limitations and aren’t a full replacement for a desktop or laptop PC.
Statistics seem to back this up. While the iPad was first introduced over a decade ago (in 2010), tablets still only represent about 3% of devices used on the web. In comparison, smartphones make up 61% and desktop computers make up 36%.
If you’ve been wondering if you can just get by with a tablet and leave your computer behind, here are some things you’ll want to take into consideration.
Limited Apps
Computers are designed to run just about any app or software that you may have, but tablets are mobile devices and thus can only use mobile apps. They can’t install software as PCs can.
This limits the types of things you can do because you can only access digital tools that have an app designed for tablets. You may also find that the app experience isn’t the same as when using software on your computer.
Not All Websites Are Mobile Friendly
Some websites are still not mobile-friendly. This means that you could end up unable to navigate a site easily if you only have a tablet to access it. When using a PC, you have a larger screen and it can be easier to enter information into website forms.
More Difficult to Type on a Small Keypad
When using a tablet you have a keypad to use instead of a keyboard. This can make it harder to type and make it take longer to type up a report or do any type of writing.
Mobile screens also have keypads that hide and appear depending on the actions you take, this can make it harder to type because if you accidentally brush the touch screen, you can end up losing your keypad.
A computer is going to give you a better typing experience for several reasons:
The keyboard is larger
The keyboard doesn’t hide
You can actually press the buttons
Less chance of hitting the wrong key
Many PC keyboards have a number pad on the right-side
Larger Screen Size
While tablet screens are larger than smartphones, they are typically much smaller than a computer monitor or laptop screen. Smaller screens make it more difficult to read certain websites unless you zoom in. But then you may end up losing your navigation bar or where you are on the page.
A larger screen also allows you to better multitask and have two windows up on the screen at the same time. Many tablets only allow one app on the screen at a time, and it can be annoying to have to continually close out and reopen apps to go back and forth between them.
A computer allows you to have multiple apps and windows open at once. You can even add a second monitor to a computer if you like to give yourself even more screen space.
Can’t Add Upgrades (Memory, Storage, etc.)
Computers tend to last longer than tablets because they have the ability to have upgrades added. You can upgrade computer memory, storage, and other components to improve performance and capacity.
One easy upgrade that can be done is to add memory (aka RAM). This can speed up a computer considerably. Storage can also be added to increase the number of files you can save on the hard drive. These types of upgrades can give you more years of usable life out of your PC.
On the other hand, tablets can’t be upgraded in this same way. So, once the storage on your tablet is full, you have to remove files or purchase a new one. Things like memory upgrades also aren’t pertinent to tablets. So, if you notice yours slowing down, you won’t have the same options as you do with a computer.
Not As Many Accessories
There are thousands of different accessories that you can use with a computer, such as printers, headsets, scanners, CD drives, and more. You are much more limited as to the types of devices you can use with a tablet. For example, you may only be able to print wirelessly, but not attach your device to a printer.
Would You Like a Faster Computer?
If your computer is running slow, there are several things Computer Techs can do to give it new life and speed.
Email has become one of the main ways we communicate both for work and personal conversations. It’s estimated that a person sends and receives an average of 126 emails per day, and that’s just for work.
We all know that it doesn’t take long for an inbox to get unwieldy and fill up with older messages that are no longer needed or spam that can be deleted. But in between those unnecessary messages are emails that you need to keep. Trying to balance the two can be a challenge.
Some users even get so many emails, they begin having computer issues and have to call in a technician because their email program is no longer working properly due to being overloaded.
If you’re one of the many Gmail users out there, we have some great tips to help you search Gmail like a pro to find what you need and declutter your inbox.
At the top of your Gmail home page, you’ll find this “Search mail” function to use for these tips.
Get Rid of Emails Taking Up Valuable Storage Space
If you’re a free Gmail user, then you get 15GB of free storage space that is shared across all the apps in your Google account. This includes any files you’ve stored in Google Drive as well as your Gmail storage.
To keep your storage optimized and help free up space, you can use this search tip to locate the emails taking up the most space due to large file attachments.
In the Gmail search box type: Larger:10M and then press your Enter key.
This will bring up all email messages in any of your boxes (including sent) that are over 10 megabytes in size and allow you to easily look through them to delete anything you no longer need.
This can often free up a significant amount of space, especially if you have older sent messages from years past with large file attachments.
Make sure to empty your Trash folder after you’ve deleted the messages to completely remove them from your storage.
Select All Tip
If you want to select all messages that come up in one of these searches, instead of selecting them one by one or page by page, do the following:
After you’ve completed the search, click the top checkbox that will select all messages on the page.
Look to the right, and click the area that says “Select all conversations that match this search.”
If you want to get rid of all the emails that have come up during your search, this will allow you to select all of them quickly and then you can click the delete button.
This also works in your Trash folder.
Get Rid of Older Emails You No Longer Need
Over time, it’s surprising just how many messages can collect in your Gmail account. If you’ve had it for several years, then you could have years of old messages or sales notices from retailers that you no longer need.
Removing these can both free up space and improve your ability to find current emails faster because your system won’t have to search through years’ worth of irrelevant emails.
To locate older messages, you can use this search term in the Gmail search box: Before:YYYY/MM/DD and then press your Enter key.
Add the date that you want to search in the search statement, for example, “Before:2018/12/31”, which would bring up all your emails with a sent or received date prior to December 31, 2018.
You can then easily delete the ones you no longer need.
Use Search Combinations for Deeper Targeting
What if you want to look for messages that have attachments, that are larger than 11MB and older than 2 years? You can use Google’s mail search terms to do this.
For the above search, you would type the following into the Gmail search bar: has:attachment larger:11M older_than:2y
Press enter and you’ll see a listing of messages that meet all those criteria.
You’ll often be surprised by just how many older messages have been building up in your Gmail account over time.
Unlock More Search Options
Don’t worry if you can’t immediately remember these search operators, because Google has made it easy for you to access these searches and others using a search panel.
Just click the small icon at the far right of the Gmail search to open a panel of search operators.
You can use this to get very specific in your email searches to locate messages you no longer need.
For example, if you have older messages from a job you moved on from years ago, you can use “Has the words” and type the name of that company to quickly locate all related messages and delete them.

One of the applications that you may hear about to keep your online connection more secure is a virtual private network (VPN). This is a service that basically takes your internet connection and reroutes it through its own servers before connecting you online.
VPNs are sold by lots of companies using FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) tactics. These companies make promises of encrypting your online connection and keeping your data safe. However, some of them have been found to be not very private after all.
What Is a VPN?
A VPN is a service that will route your online traffic through one or more of its servers. These servers can be anywhere in the world, and at times, you may be using different ones.
The VPN is designed to encrypt internet traffic and make your online connection secure by being a middle man between you and the internet.
Before you get scared into thinking you need a VPN, you’ll want to check out our list below of the reasons that you may not really need one after all.
When you connect to a VPN, your internet traffic gets routed through a third party. This is like taking the long way to go to the grocery store. Instead of connecting directly from your internet service provider (ISP) to the internet, you’re taking a detour through a VPN service that could be thousands of miles away.
This detour can slow your connection speed, especially if the VPN server is across the ocean in another country. This can lead to buffering frustration when trying to watch streaming services and worse quality video calls due to slower internet.
Can Cause Login Problems Due to Location Differences
Not all applications play well with VPNs and you may start having login problems. This can especially be the case when logging onto sites that look at your location to determine the type of content to serve you.
You may also find that you do a Google search like usual, but all the search results are in another language. This can be because the IP address of the VPN server is coming from a certain country so the site thinks you are located in that country and is providing content based upon that server location.
They’re Complicated to Use
Because a VPN changes how you connect to the internet, it can be complicated to set up and use. It may end up conflicting with other processes you have going, such as file sync with online cloud storage.
This type of app is difficult to adjust so it’s not conflicting with any online or hard-drive-based apps. Uninstalling the VPN may be the only way out of an issue that has occurred after it was installed.
They’re Illegal in Some Countries
Some countries restrict internet content, and the use of a VPN to get around that restriction is prohibited. So, if you travel overseas and use a VPN on any of your devices, you could be breaking the law without realizing it.
May Be Storing Your Online Data Without Your Knowledge
It’s been found that many VPNs store your online session data, despite the promises made on the company’s website. Some may be governed by laws requiring them to store that data, and others may do it out of carelessness or for more nefarious reasons related to selling it.
If you use a free VPN, you need to be very careful about this, because if you’re not paying anything for the service, then it’s most likely you (your data) is the revenue generator for the business.
There are Better Ways to Protect Your Data
A VPN is not necessarily the best way to protect yourself and your data while online. There are other options that don’t require you to route all your internet traffic through a third party.
Some of these options include:
Use of a DNS Filter:A DNS filter blocks malicious websites even after you’ve clicked the link for one. It will redirect you to a warning page instead. Setting up a DNS filter is done on your computer or router.
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA):MFA is one of the best ways to keep your online accounts secure, and it’s free. You should enable this on every account that you have. According to Microsoft, MFA blocks 99.9% of fraudulent sign-in attempts.

It’s easy to vilify large tech companies. They hold a lot of power over our online lives. One organization that people like to point to as a monopoly is Google. The company owns over 91% of the worldwide search market share, but it got there for a reason.
Google’s business model is to give people searching online what they want. So it’s in the company’s best interest to make your online life easier. Keeping people searching on its site allows Google to continue running a successful ad business to earn revenue.
Yes, it’s true that you do give up some of your information to the search engine in exhange for using its services (including YouTube, which Google owns). But the trade in Google’s case is a fair one for many.
It’s important to know who you can trust when you’re online so you can keep your personal data protected as much as possible.
Why is Google not such a bad guy? Here are several reasons why we like Google.
Microsoft’s latest version of their operating system – Windows 11 – was released October 5, 2021. It looks and behaves a bit differently than Windows 10 and has some new features, yet many things haven’t changed at all. While Windows 11 will work on many computers manufactured since late 2017, it’s still just an optional update since Windows 10 will still be supported until October 2025. Windows 11 comes preinstalled on new computers going forward.
In early 2022 Microsoft began recommending that people upgrade to Windows 11 on computers that qualify. You may be wondering what our advice is about getting Windows 11. At this time we don’t feel that there’s a compelling reason to upgrade your existing computer to Windows 11 due to the following reasons:
Windows 10 is fairly stable and secure
Windows 10 has most of the features (and then some) that most people want or need
However if you’re shopping for a new computer it will likely come with Windows 11 – and that’s okay. For more information about Windows 11 click here.
If you’ve already upgraded to Windows 11 and change your mind, you have 10 days to downgrade back to Windows 10. See Microsoft’s instructions here. If you’ve made other suggested changes and want to go back to the way things were before, contact Computer Techs for help.
