  • Closing the tech year of 2024

    Posted on December 31, 2024 at 10:40 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    As we close out 2024, just a reminder of the rules of tech:

    Always have a backup.

    Always have a plan B.

    Always have a spare power cord, or a fast way to order a replacement.

    Always have another device, even if it’s nothing more than a phone to be able to search on a topic.

    And last but not least, never break the cardinal rule of patching, which is to assume an update will work flawlessly so you begin the updating process at 10:30 p.m. on a Sunday night. Always give yourself plenty of time to recover from any side effects. (Ask me how I know this and yet I still find myself stupidly updating and not leaving myself enough of a maintenance window)

    My goals for 2025 is to continue to provide actionable and risk-based security and technology information for our readership for all of your technology.
