• Time for tech upgrades

    Now that busy season is over for me, I’ll be doing some long overdue upgrade projects. At the office I’ll be planning on upgrading my Windows 11 22H2 machines to 23H2 (more on this in an upcoming newsletter) ensuring that I do not enable Copilot in the process.

    Here at home I upgraded my older no longer supported wifi system to a TPlink mesh system and while setting it up I made the conscious decision to enable automatic updates on the units themselves. Now you would think that a person who says to delay updates wouldn’t be so quick to upgrade their wifi networking towers, but I’m going to be a bit of a beta tester for purposes of seeing how automatically updating edge devices will work out. I’ll be monitoring on this and will report back.

    I did make it easy on myself, I set up the wifi ssid name and password to be what the previous unit was. I run cameras and devices on the guest network and some of the cameras are located too high for me to easily reset a username and password.

    What about you? Do you check for updates on your wifi/routers?  Do you turn on automatic updates? Do you check them for firmware updates on a regular basis?
