An exciting project: digitizing a box full of 8mm film reels, made between 40 and 60 years ago. Bringing memories back, full color.

Scituate only has one hard-wired Internet provider: Comcast. Comcast is notorious for it's high prices and it's unfriendly customer service.

How to save on your Comcast bill?

1. Buy your own modem and your own router.
Modems cost between $25 (400 Mb/s) and $150 (1000 Gb/s) . A router that will give good WiFi in a small Cape can be found for $70, a reliable mesh router system for a bigger house starts at $170 and can be easily expanded.
This saves you $15 per month.

2. If you haven't used it for a while, cancel Comcast's land line.
This could save you between $50 and $100 per month

3. Ask yourself what TV channels you're watching. Maybe you can stream those channels for short money. If your TV isn't smart enough, a ROKU stick or a Fire stick for $35 can stream most if not all of today's channels.
This could save you another $100 per month

4. If you're Internet only, you have choices.
Comcast is not the only one that offers Internet only. T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and AT&T now offer reliable, fast 5G Internet. If your cell phone works reliably, chances are you can cut your Internet bill in half.

Comcast was hacked. Change your Email password ASAP.

Last week, I got a half dozen calls from people who could not access their Comcast Email accounts, often requiring a live person to reset their password. I assumed Comcast had technical difficulties. A moment ago I heard that the technical difficulties were serious: Comcast's systems were hacked. The hackers got access to:
- usernames
- hashed passwords
and for some customers
- name
- contact information
- last four digits of Social Security number
- date of birth
- secret questions and answers

What to do?
Change your password, add 2-step verification and change or remove secret questions/answers.

Call me if you need help.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has triggered many western companies to stop doing business with Russia. In return, Russia is looking for ways to retaliate.

Kaspersky anti-virus products are Russian-made and can make our computers vulnerable to Russian retaliation. I strongly recommend replacing Kaspersky with a different product.

I managed to upgrade my 2009 Toshiba laptop to Windows 11 today.
It runs smooth, looks like all the programs still work. Not sure if Windows 11's updates will keep working in the future, as this laptop really doesn’t qualify for an upgrade to Windows 11, it falls woefully short on minimum CPU and BIOS demands.

Experimenting with a new toy: a machine that digitizes 8mm and Super 8 film. Especially the Super 8 results are quite impressive.

Sometimes cheap no-name ink is not such a good idea. It leaked on my hand and on the printer after leaking inside the printer, killing the print head.
A new print head was more expensive than the whole printer, so the client bought a new printer.
