Shoulders and core tonight. 💪

Nothing complicated — just keeping the routine going, staying consistent and getting the work done.

I’ve found the same thing applies to business as it does to training: you don’t need everything to be perfect, you just need to keep showing up and keep moving forward.

Small wins, repeated often, make a big difference.

A bit of downtime today after another busy week. 👍

Running a business can easily turn into seven days a week if you let it, so it’s important to make time to switch off, get out and enjoy the day as well.

It’s been a productive week for North Computers, with plenty of repairs, upgrades and customer work completed — now a few hours to recharge before we go again next week.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. 👌

A nice bit of progress for Howden 👌

The new mobile network antennas are now being installed at the new fire station, which should hopefully mean better mobile coverage and a stronger signal around the local area once everything is live. 📶

It’s good to see more infrastructure being invested in locally, especially with how much we all rely on mobile connectivity for work, calls, navigation and everyday life.

Let’s just hope the signal gets past the church and reaches the other end of town this time! 😂📱

I’ll be interested to see how much of a difference it makes once everything is fully operational.

Found this on a customer’s laptop today 👀

It looks professional at first glance, but it suddenly asks for full card details to create an account.

Pages like this can be very convincing because they use payment logos, security badges and familiar-looking layouts to make people feel safe.

A simple rule:

If something unexpectedly asks for your card or banking details, don’t enter anything.

We’re cleaning this machine up and checking for any unwanted software running in the background.

If you’re ever unsure about something that pops up on your computer, it’s always better to check first.

quick IT tip for local businesses this Wednesday morning 👇

One of the most common problems I still see is businesses relying on a single backup — sometimes an external drive that stays plugged into the same computer all the time.

That can still leave you exposed if the PC fails, the drive fails, files are accidentally deleted, or ransomware hits the machine.

A better setup is usually:

* one local backup
* one separate/off-site or cloud backup
* and checking occasionally that the backup can actually be restored

It’s not the most exciting part of IT, but it can save a business a huge amount of stress later.

If you run a business around Howden, Goole or Selby and you’re unsure whether your backups are actually protecting you, feel free to drop me a message.

A slow computer doesn’t always need replacing. 💻

Quite often, an older laptop or desktop can be given a completely new lease of life with the right upgrade — especially an SSD, extra memory or a clean Windows installation.

At North Computers, we’d rather tell you honestly whether a machine is worth repairing than sell you something you don’t need.

How much downtime can your business afford?

Most IT problems don’t start as major disasters.

They start with things like:

* unreliable Wi-Fi
* Microsoft 365 issues
* slow office computers
* printers dropping off the network
* backups nobody has checked
* small faults that keep interrupting staff

Individually, they seem minor. Across a week or a month, they can waste a surprising amount of time.

North Computers provides practical IT support for local businesses across Howden, Goole and Selby, helping keep systems reliable and problems under control.
