Security Alert: 'Social Engineering' isn't about building bridges.

It's when scammers trick YOU into giving them access, rather than hacking the computer.

If someone calls claiming to be from 'The Bank' or 'The NBN' and wants remote access? Hang up.

Call us if you're unsure.

We're here to protect our locals.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Check your mobile data usage!

Go to Settings > Connections > Data Usage.

See which apps are guzzling your allowance.

What is 'Offline'? It's the state of being disconnected from the internet - and it's highly recommended today!

Happy Australia Day, Bendigo.

We are CLOSED today to enjoy the public holiday.

We'll be back on deck tomorrow. Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend!

CRACKED SCREEN? It happens to the best of us.

Don't put up with the spiderwebs!

Drop in this morning (9am - 12:30pm) and let's see if it's worth a repair or time for an upgrade.

Honest advice, always.

Security Snap: stepping away from your desk?

Press 'Windows Key + L' to instantly lock your screen. It keeps prying eyes (or curious cats) away from your work.

Simple habit, big security boost.

Keep your data safe, Bendigo!

Tech Tip Tuesday: The magic of 'Ctrl + Z'. Made a mistake?

Deleted the wrong paragraph? Just press 'Ctrl' and 'Z' at the same time to Undo.

It works almost everywhere! It's the closest thing to a time machine we have. Try it out!

What is 'Cache'? (Pronounced 'cash').

It's a temporary storage space where your computer or phone keeps bits of data so it can load things faster next time.

Think of it like keeping your favourite tools on your workbench instead of in the shed. Sometimes clearing it solves glitches!

It’s tempting to get comfy with Netflix, but soft surfaces like blankets block the air vents on your laptop. 🚫 When a laptop can't breathe, it overheats. Quick Fix: If you must work from bed, use a large hardcover book or a proper lap tray underneath.
