Windows 10 end of Support is October 14. Thankfully for most people there is a free way to extend Support until October 2026 and continue to receive updates.

As long as your computer is signed in with a Microsoft account, look under Windows update for a prompt to ENROLL NOW IN EXTENDED SUPPORT.

Click on this and for most users it should be at no cost. It shouldn’t even require you to reboot the computer.

For most users on computers that are still perfectly serviceable this will take the pressure off for at least the next 12 months.

Simple tips to avoid being scammed…

1- never let anyone remote access your PC or phone.
2- always check the sender details on emails regarding your accounts
3- pop ups with phone numbers to call are NEVER legitimate. Navigate away from the site or force restart your PC.
4- a legitimate company doesn’t not need access to your device to assist with your account
5- a legitimate company will never ask you to buy gift cards

Stay safe! Matt +61402645500 AAA TECH RESCUE

Have power BUT no internet?

1- restart/reboot modem (off/on at wall, allow 1 min)

2- look for the WAN/DSL and ONLINE lights (if not on after 3 mins, likely a NBN fault, call provider)

3- check your device is connected to YOUR wifi network (not something else open and in range)

4- if no luck, use your MOBILE PHONE HOTSPOT for wifi (usually under settings/connections/mobile hotspot on most phones)

Stay safe and reach out if needed! Matt 0402645500

DeepSeek shows what can be achieved with some clever shortcuts and an open source model. Almost as good at 1/100th of the price, the is is a great example of how fast the AI space is growing, and how interesting it’ll be watching companies come up with good uses over the coming couple of years!

Lots of reports of NBN outages Tweed/Banora. Mainly FTTN (node) customers affected. Looks like FTTP (premises) all ok. Time to call your ISP for a free FTTP upgrade…
