How do you do that!<br />
If you are always on the move and going from your home computer to offi<strong>ce</strong><br />
computer and have no time to carry cables to plug in to transfer documents, picture<br />
etc, then I got a great hint for you. Whether its iPhone or Android phone there is a<br />
app called ES File Explore and not only does it allow you to go into your files on<br />
your phone, but, it also lets you hook up to your computer to swap files without<br />
cables. Now you can get this lil jewel on Play Store for android or APP Store for<br />
iPhone and here is the app logo;<br />
It will work from Windows xp pro to Windows 10, now, this „how do‟ is about<br />
Windows 10 and how to set it up to work and share with ES File Explore as<br />
Windows 10 is to say the least is stubborn.<br />
Step One<br />
Go to the bottom left side and press windows logo and when to menu pops up<br />
press the settings gear wheel (red circle). The windows stetting<br />
window will open up, from there you will select ACCOUNTS<br />
(red circle) see picture 2 on next page, go ahead and select it.<br />
5
Picture 2<br />
Step two<br />
If you see this then exit out this window as your good and you can go to step three.<br />
Picture 3<br />
6
But, if you see this;<br />
Then sign into your local account instead of being logged into Microsoft<br />
account. Windows 10 will guide you if you don‟t have a password to sign in to<br />
create one then Windows will log off. Re log in and now Microsoft won‟t have their<br />
grubby fingers in your computer, you have control now.<br />
Step three<br />
Go to the bottom right side of the screen and you will see your wifi bars or a lil<br />
screen for network cable.<br />
Left click on it then a small menu appears like the picture above, click on „Open<br />
Network and Sharing Center‟ as seen in picture 5.<br />
7
Picture 5<br />
Now, go up to the left side and select „Change advan<strong>ce</strong>d sharing settings‟ (red<br />
circle).<br />
Picture 6<br />
Click on „Guest or Public (current profile)‟ (red arrow) button and if it matches<br />
picture 6 then move on to „All Network‟ see picture 7<br />
8
Picture 7<br />
In All Networks (red arrow) do the same thing, match your settings as seen in<br />
picture 7, if no changes were done then close the window by clicking the x at the<br />
top right hand side, but, if have done changes the „Save changes‟ will be lit, so, go<br />
ahead and click on it and now Windows 10 is ready to share with ES File Explorer,<br />
go to step four.<br />
Step Four<br />
Now the last few settings we need to do on ES File Explore, tap in the ES app on<br />
your <strong>ce</strong>ll to bring up Es File Explore. In ES File Explorer tap the 3 lines icon in the<br />
upper-left hand corner, see picture 8<br />
9
Picture 8<br />
Picture 9<br />
Then navigate to network and<br />
tap on it then tap on Network.<br />
Then tap on search to find<br />
your computer on your<br />
network as seen on the right<br />
picture. When you see your<br />
computer you can can<strong>ce</strong>l the<br />
search or let it finish the<br />
search.<br />
Picture 10<br />
10
Step Five<br />
On<strong>ce</strong> the search is done go ahead and tap on your<br />
computer. As seen in the picture on the left log in<br />
and check „Remember password‟ click ok. Now<br />
you have ac<strong>ce</strong>ss to your computer files, your<br />
main file will say „Users” tap on it and you will<br />
see your personal file along with Public,<br />
Administrator, Default, Default User and All<br />
Users.<br />
Now, I know what you‟re going to say, “I got<br />
cables!” yes you do, however, this beats carrying<br />
cables around all the time. You can now tap in to<br />
your offi<strong>ce</strong> computer, kids‟ computers, or your<br />
laptop as long they are connected to a router.<br />

Protecting Seniors Online from<br />
Scams, Hacks and Tax Fraud<br />
Share |<br />
NewsUSA - The vast majority of seniors today are using the<br />
Internet at least on<strong>ce</strong> a week to check email, pay bills online and<br />
keep in touch via social media. But all that time online puts<br />
them at risk for scams and hacks, such as tax fraud.<br />
In fact, a new survey by Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the<br />
Home Instead Senior Care network, found that 67 per<strong>ce</strong>nt of<br />
surveyed older adults have been the victim of an online scam or<br />
hack.<br />
Encouraging seniors to practi<strong>ce</strong> cyber security can go a long way toward protecting<br />
their identity and sensitive financial information. Home Instead collaborated with<br />
the National Cyber Security Allian<strong>ce</strong> to create Protect Seniors Online, available at<br />
www.ProtectSeniorsOnline.com, a free resour<strong>ce</strong> that educates older adults about<br />
cybersecurity. Here, seniors can test their cybersecurity skills with the "Can You<br />
Spot an Online Scam?" quiz.<br />
Older adults can take the following steps now to protect themselves online:<br />
*Password protect and secure devi<strong>ce</strong>s, accounts. Lock all devi<strong>ce</strong>s (including<br />
computers, tablets and smartphones) with secure passwords in case devi<strong>ce</strong>s are lost<br />
or stolen.<br />
*Think before clicking. When fa<strong>ce</strong>d with an urgent request -- like emails asking for<br />
money -- think before clicking or get a second opinion. Clicking on links is often<br />
how scammers get personal information. When in doubt, trash an unusual message.<br />
*Share with care. More than half (51 per<strong>ce</strong>nt) of seniors surveyed by Home Instead<br />
use social media to stay connected. Use care when sharing personal information,<br />
17
adjust privacy settings to limit who can see your information, and turn off location<br />
sharing.<br />
*Use security software: Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software and program it<br />
to run regularly. And be wary of pop-up ads or emails, many of which contain<br />
malware that can infect computers.<br />
*Log out: Log out of all apps and websites when you are finished. Leaving apps<br />
and websites open on computer screens could make you vulnerable to security and<br />
privacy risks.<br />
*Recommend support: Older adults who live alone may need help from a trusted<br />
sour<strong>ce</strong> -- such as a family member, tech-savvy friend or professional caregiver --to<br />
serve as a second set of eyes.<br />

The Frugal Way Part 1!<br />
A<strong>ce</strong>r Aspire R1600 & Windows 8.1, Marriage Made In Heaven?<br />
By Nomar Shaw, contributing writer/CE Magazine<br />
This article “A<strong>ce</strong>r Aspire R1600 & Windows 8.1, Marriage Made In Heaven?”<br />
originally was written by my boss, Peter Nadal. Having an A<strong>ce</strong>r Aspire R1600 I<br />
fallowed his upgrade and I could not been happier. Mounting an A<strong>ce</strong>r R1600 to a<br />
Monitor The Frugal Way Part 2! Is my contribution to this upgrade hack, so, if you<br />
have one collecting dust this article is for you!<br />
Part 1 is for an average knows how.<br />
As you can see below A<strong>ce</strong>r Aspire R1600 (1st generation) on its mount, figure 1 is<br />
what it looks in side. The Aspire R1600 intended for offi<strong>ce</strong> environment, but, it<br />
grew in popularity with all us computer nuts. It came with;<br />
1: Intel Atom 230 pro<strong>ce</strong>ssor (1.6<br />
GHz)<br />
2: 1 GB of RAM<br />
3: NVIDIA ION graphics<br />
motherboard<br />
4: 802.11 Wifi (this was optional)<br />
5: 160 Gig Hard Drive<br />
6: Windows XP Pro<br />
19
Mine as you can see in Figure 1 has 4 gig of ram and Wifi card added, by the way, it<br />
uses the same Wifi cards that most laptops have which makes it real easy to find.<br />
My R1600 came from a very good friend/customer whom I upgrade to a new<br />
Figure 1<br />
Laptop. The 1st thing that I did was to max out the memory and plug in a Wifi card<br />
(Wifi card is above the hard drive) from one of my parts laptop. Make sure you<br />
tape the antenna wires to the front lid and away from the fan intake as seen in<br />
figure 2 (note: I rewired the antenna in different way sin<strong>ce</strong> that picture).<br />
Figure 2<br />
20
Now as you can see there is no DVD Rom, but, no problem for me as all my<br />
Windows (ex<strong>ce</strong>pt XP & Windows 8 & 8.1) install disks are mounted on thumb<br />
drives. Windows 7 home premium got installed without a hitch and I used XP<br />
drivers on the ones the Win 7 could not find. It worked great especially Djing and<br />
Karaoking for private parties and at the house, BUT, on the slow side and an<br />
overheating problem. I ran it for a year till 8.1 showed up, so, by this time I had to<br />
migrate all music and karaoke files along the dj software to a medium size desktop<br />
that I build specifically for djing. So, the R1600 became the bar computer and what<br />
better time to find out how good is windows 8.1, will the old girl run smooth? Will<br />
it over heat?<br />
VERDICT!<br />
I have to eat my cynical words about 8.1, its way better then 8, Aspire R1600 and<br />
Win 8.1 is most definitely a marriage made in heaven. Win 8.1 has a small foot<br />
print compared to win 7 and because of the small foot print, small computers like<br />
the Aspire R1600 run smoothly with it. But, some tweaking to win 8.1 has to be<br />
done to get her to run ni<strong>ce</strong>. The driver’s for the NVIDIA ION graphic card is hard to<br />
find. Win 7 took the XP Driver without a fuss and this is because win 7 has most of<br />
XP coding, win 8.1 does not. A visit to Nvidia web site produ<strong>ce</strong>d the 32 bit driver, a<br />
word of warning, though the Aspire r1600 can run 64 bit with no problem, finding<br />
a 64 bit nvidia graphic driver for win 8.1 is a dead <strong>issue</strong>, stick to the 32 bit version<br />
of any windows you install.<br />
UPDATE! Sin<strong>ce</strong> this article from a few yrs ago Peter re-did the A<strong>ce</strong>r to Windows 10<br />
and his opinion is two thumbs up. As you can see wifi works great, picture below,<br />

Mounting an A<strong>ce</strong>r R1600 to a Monitor<br />
The Frugal Way Part 2!<br />
I have been told I'm cheap! Raised by a Jewish step Mom the proper word is FRUGAL!<br />
I have this A<strong>ce</strong>r R1600 that I up graded to windows 7 (I decided to not to go Windows<br />
10, but, to stay Win 7 home), bump up the memory to 4 gb and installed a laptop<br />
wireless card with a interior antenna. And wanted to mount it behind a LCD Monitor,<br />
but, the mounts made for A<strong>ce</strong>r R1600 series range from $19 to $45 (plus shipping) and<br />
frankly money is tight, so..... I went to the bench and let the mind jui<strong>ce</strong>s work.<br />
After a few "prototypes" came up with the easiest way to mount it...<br />
Blank PC Case Brackets!<br />
22
As you see by the pictures its straight forward, just pla<strong>ce</strong> the bend of the bracket in the<br />
fa<strong>ce</strong>plate grove and mark it. Bend it(see note), drill a hole (as seen in the picture 1 & 2)<br />
and screw it in. Angle it as seen in picture one & two then slide the A<strong>ce</strong>r in. As for the<br />
cables I round them then tied them up with twisty ties<br />
Note: Take the two brackets the part that is already bent and slide it in the front grove then mark<br />
where you need to bend it to create the pocket<br />

Hackers compromised free CCleaner software,<br />
Avast's Piriform says<br />
Joseph Menn<br />
4 Min Read<br />
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Hackers broke into British company Piriform Ltd’s free<br />
software that optimizes computer performan<strong>ce</strong> last month, potentially allowing<br />
them to control the devi<strong>ce</strong>s of millions of users, the company and independent<br />
researchers said on Monday.<br />

this illustration picture taken on May 13, 2017. REUTERS/Kacper<br />
Pempel/Illustration/File Photo<br />
24
More than 2 million people downloaded tainted versions of Piriform’s program,<br />
which then directed the computers to get instructions from servers under the<br />
hacker’s control, Piriform said.<br />
Piriform said it worked with law enfor<strong>ce</strong>ment and cut off communication to the<br />
servers before any malicious commands were detected. This came after security<br />
researchers at Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O) and Morphisec Ltd alerted Piriform’s<br />
parent Avast Software of the hack last week.<br />
The malicious program was slipped into legitimate software called CCleaner, which<br />
cleans up junk programs and advertising cookies to speed up devi<strong>ce</strong>s.<br />
CCleaner is the main product made by London’s Piriform, which was bought in July<br />
by Prague-based Avast, one of the world’s largest computer security vendors. At<br />
the time of the acquisition, the company said 130 million people used CCleaner.<br />
A version of CCleaner downloaded in August and September included remote<br />
administration tools that tried to connect to several unregistered web pages,<br />
presumably to download additional unauthorized programs, security researchers<br />
at Cisco’s Talos unit said.<br />
Talos researcher Craig Williams said it was a sophisticated attack because it<br />
penetrated an established and trusted supplier in a manner similar to June’s<br />
“NotPetya” attack on companies that downloaded infected Ukrainian accounting<br />
software.<br />
“There is nothing a user could have noti<strong>ce</strong>d,” Williams said, noting that the<br />
optimization software had a proper digital <strong>ce</strong>rtificate, which means that other<br />
computers automatically trust the program.<br />
In a blog post, Piriform confirmed that two programs released in August were<br />
compromised. It advised users of CCleaner v5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud<br />
v1.07.3191 to download new versions. A spokeswoman said that 2.27 million users<br />
had downloaded the August version of CCleaner while only 5,000 users had<br />
installed the compromised version of CCleaner Cloud.<br />
25
Piriform said that Avast, its new parent company, had uncovered the attacks on<br />
Sept. 12. A new, uncompromised version of CCleaner was released the same day<br />
and a clean version of CCleaner Cloud was released on Sept. 15, it said.<br />
Only the cloud version could be updated automatically to remove the bad code.<br />
The nature of the attack code suggests that the hacker won ac<strong>ce</strong>ss to a machine<br />
used to create CCleaner, Williams said.<br />
CCleaner does not update automatically, so those who installed the problematic<br />
version will need to delete it and install a fresh version, he said.<br />
He also recommended running an antivirus scan.<br />
Williams said that Talos detected the <strong>issue</strong> at an early stage, when the hackers<br />
appeared to be collecting information from infected machines, rather than forcing<br />
them to install new programs.<br />
Piriform said in a news release that it had worked with U.S. law enfor<strong>ce</strong>ment to<br />
shut down a server located in the United States to which traffic was set to be<br />
directed.<br />
It said the server was closed down on Sept. 15 “before any known harm was<br />
done.”<br />
Avast said little about the breach, posting nothing on its Twitter account in the 12<br />
hours after the announ<strong>ce</strong>ment and displaying nothing on its main web page.<br />
Piriform’s news release and technical blog post did not mention Cisco or its<br />
partner Morphisec, instead crediting Avast with discovering the still-unexplained<br />
compromise.<br />
After the controlling web addresses were seized, Cisco saw 200,000 attempts to<br />
connect to them<br />

Come a Long Way Baby!<br />
Via Old Picture Of The Day, here's the Osborne 1, which was released in 1981.<br />
It weighed ~25 pounds, had a 5-inch screen, and cost $1,800.<br />
From this!<br />
Here's some history from Wikipedia:<br />
As the personal computer became feasible in the early 1970s, the idea of a<br />
portable personal computer followed. A "personal, portable information<br />
manipulator" was imagined by Alan Kay at Xerox PARC in 1968, [6] and described in<br />
his 1972 paper as the "Dynabook". [7]<br />
The IBM SCAMP project (Special Computer APL Machine Portable), was<br />
demonstrated in 1973. This prototype was based on the PALM pro<strong>ce</strong>ssor (Put All<br />
Logic In Microcode).<br />
28
The IBM 5100, the first commercially available portable computer, appeared in<br />
September 1975, and was based on the SCAMP prototype. [8]<br />
As 8-bit CPU machines became widely ac<strong>ce</strong>pted, the number of portables<br />
increased rapidly. The Osborne 1, released in 1981, used the Zilog Z80 and<br />
weighed 23.6 pounds (10.7 kg). It had no battery, a 5 in (13 cm) CRT screen, and<br />
dual 5.25 in (13.3 cm) single-density floppy drives.<br />
To This!<br />
29
The TRS-80 Model 100 is a portable computer introdu<strong>ce</strong>d in 1983. It is one of the<br />
first notebook-style computers, featuring a keyboard and liquid crystal display, in a<br />
battery-powered package roughly the size and shape of a notepad or large book.<br />
Display: 8 lines, 40 characters LCD<br />
Graphics: 240 by 64 pixel addressable graphics<br />
Units sold: 6,000,000<br />
Power: Four penlight (AA) <strong>ce</strong>lls, or external power adapter 6V (>180 mA)<br />
Memory: 8 KB - 32 KB (supported)<br />
Operating system: Custom dedicated runtime in firmware<br />
CPU: 2.4-MHz Intel 80C85<br />
Yep the boss has one of these too, minus the big floppy drive.<br />
