Windows 7 expiring in January 2020
Hiya Folks,
this is Matt Bentley, your local & loyal computer support technician. I've recently renamed my business from 'Waikato Home PC Support' to 'Bentley Home PC Support', in part because it's my name, and in part because the name carries connotations of esteem, riches, money, fame etc. None of which I actually have of course, but, it's always nice if people think I do ;)
Some of you may have noticed that Windows 7 is expiring in January 2020; what that means is that it will no longer receive security patches from Microsoft, which means it will be unsafe to use on the internet. I have set up a package deal where I will upgrade your Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 for $150. This includes:
(a) Checking the health of your hard drive.(b) Making a backup of the hard drive in case something goes wrong (I will keep this backup for 2 weeks just in case).
(c) Upgrading your computer to Windows 10 and installing the latest updates.
(d) Cleaning it up and disabling the Windows 10 'telemetry' (spyware).
(e) Changing settings so that it acts a bit more like Windows 7 and is more familiar.
This is mainly a drop-off service, though I can pick up depending on where you are. Please note that if you are running Windows 8, there is no need to upgrade immediately (though you can if you want to) - Windows 8 expires in 2023.
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, you definitely shouldn't be using those on the internet (they expired ages ago) and should probably get a new computer. I'm happy to help with that, including selecting a new computer and transferring your data/programs to it.
So if you want to take advantage of the offer, please get in touch.
Cheers,
Matt

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weโre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
๐ Riddle me this, legends! ๐
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
