That Tech Guy

Some helpful advice for all of you finding yourself working from home.

Tech Tip Tuesday: The latest update for iOS is scheduled to come out today, iOS 13.4. Make sure to keep your operating system and apps up-to-date. This ensures that you have not only the latest features your device is capable of having, but also provides security updates to patch vulnerabilities found in your software.

Tech Tip Tuesday: If you're working from home on a computer, why not help with the effort to understand COVID-19 and many other diseases? Check out Folding@Home: https://foldingathome.org/ Folding@Home is a project from Stanford University that uses the extra power of your computer (that you're not presently using) to help scientists better understand how to treat various diseases such as COVID-19, Cancer, Huntington's, and Parkinson's. You can do it anonymously and during the setup process, you can select whether to help ANY project (this will include COVID-19) or a specific disease. The program runs in the background and out of the way so you don't even need to interact with it.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Did you know that Google Docs and Google Sheets has many of the same features as Microsoft Word and Excel? It's free to use too and syncs everywhere in the cloud with your Google/Gmail Account! Plus, it can read/import Word/Excel files and also export as Word/Excel files (or PDFs, among others).
