Advent Calendar – 2024 – Tips #01

Hi Coastal Community,

Coming up to Christmas I will be presenting a tech themed Advent Calendar right here on Facebook.

Check in every day until Christmas.

Today we are going to look at: Use a strong, unique passphrase instead of a simple password.
A long passphrase made of unrelated words is much harder to guess than a short password. It’s easier to remember and much safer than using birthdays or common words.

If you need expert advice from a qualified technician give me a call or email.

Thanks for your continued support,
Tom

Thinking about getting rid of your computer?

♻️ Thinking About Getting Rid of Your Computer?

Windows 10 support has ended — and if you’re still using an older computer, it may be time to think about what comes next.

If you’re replacing an old PC or Mac, don’t just throw the old one in the rubbish. Your computer may still contain years of personal, business, or sensitive information.

Before getting rid of your old computer:

  • 💾 Back up your data before doing anything else.
  • 🔐 Protect your personal information by making sure your data is properly removed from the device.
  • ♻️ Recycle responsibly rather than sending electronic equipment to landfill.
  • 🛠️ Not sure what to do? RD3 Tech can help you work out what should be backed up, transferred, erased, or recycled.

Simply deleting your files isn’t always enough to protect sensitive information. If you’re passing on or disposing of an old computer, it’s worth making sure the device has been properly prepared first.

Don’t let your old computer become someone else’s source of your personal information.

Keep your data safe, recycle responsibly, and give your old technology a proper send-off. 🌱
