Laptop

you should of told me neighbor, Ill bring down my 4 lap tops tomorrow so you can fix em.....

 

In today's reality much safer and cheaper to have two laptops. One for important things and one for porno surfing. Never have them connected or transfer information between. Never ever allow the remote repair from someone who call you. It's the old scam/

 

so if we shouldnt surf porn sites, what ELSE is there to do ??

 

A paragraph of a geek mag I read stated porn sites turn out to be safer (per charge sites) since the web master's jobs are to keep those customers safe and happy.

 

bummer....i am too cheap to pay for it...

 

Ok just to clarify... no, Craigslist and Facebook are not full of viruses. No offense but you have no idea what you're talking about. Craigslist's template doesn't even have ads or anything. And for Facebook, only thing you need to worry about is clicking a link and if it says like something to see a video, or asks you to log in, close the page because that's phishing.

Another thing, NEVER EVER EVER USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Download and install either Firefox or Google Chrome.

Also install the AdBlock Plus plug in which is available for both of those browsers.

 

Best advice against a drive crashing?
Get a SSD one.(less heat and no moving parts)
I did in the laptop i use in the truck.

 

I agree, SSD uses much less power and creates like no heat, plus way faster than a rotating drive.

 

I seem to wear out the usb cord on the cooler pads rather quickly. If i buy another one from walmart i'll get the extended warranty for $5.

 

Ssd-s are more expensive
Solid state drives
