Try and scroll down to the 2nd tool in the list: I was trying to provide the ultimate url and grc doesn’t work using the landing page. Now mind you the attackers can still get you with browser attacks and phishing these days so I’d argue that this “direct” attack method is less likely to occur these days, but especially if you have older tech that relied on specific ports to be open, this is still a quick and dirty tool to use to check that your outside edge of your network is what you expect it to be. It lets you see what an attacker can see on your system from the outside. Shields up showcases ports from the outside of your computer. You can visit the site and have it scan typical ports.īut keep in mind it only scans about 1000 ports on the “all service ports” and there’s over 64,000 ports that can “talk” in your computer system. One of the ways a home user can see if you are vulnerable for external attacks – especially if you have devices that allow for remote access is using a port scanner.

#Microsoft office 2011 for mac upgrade to 2013 install#
Each time you install an update ( and a reminder, we’re not ready yet to give the all clear to install updates) you need to test that you can print as your first post reboot activity. Then I go into “add printer” and add a network printer and they find the printer on the network.īottom line it’s 2021. I also try to not connect home printers via USB when I’m sharing them, rather I look to see if they have a network jack and connect them via a rj45 cable to my home router. A plain laser jet printer of the Lexmark or Brother variety tends to not give you grief when remote printing unlike a USB connected all in one. In the small business industry there are certain models of printers that work nicer with working from home and remote printing. So then the printer manufacturers realized two things – thing one selling printer cartridges was a good business to be in and thing two – if they made a printer that was indestructible we’d never buy another printer again. I finally had to get rid of it when plastic parts would break off but I must have had that printer for 15 years or more? The next version of that printer for home users, the HP Laserjet 4L would just run and run and run. Once upon a time I had an HP laserjet 4 printer that would run and run and run. overbearing, and nearly evil in their ways to hook us into their ink and cartridge programs. So we get told to buy a new printer to make our lives easier and then the printer manufacturers get downright … well how can we say this nicely…. Meanwhile every month we keep hitting printer issues ( for some printers, not all) triggered by Microsoft updates. We are supposedly in a paperless business world.

I handle a lot of email in my editorial duties some assistance might be helpful. I’ve been a happy camper for years because while it was apparent that Google was reading my Gmail, Microsoft wasn’t.
Cortana/Viva is watching me, picking out what it thinks are to do items, and reminding me about them. This time, however, the focus appears to be on actionable items. One day in what I’m sure is the recent past, the new Microsoft Viva took over that responsibility. My wife thinks I’m crazy I don’t need some server in Redmond telling me that. I think there were some “mental health” messages. I didn’t ask for them they just started showing up. One day in what seems the distant past, Microsoft Cortana starting sending me email messages.
