The Impact to MS Windows is NOT a Cyberattack or Virus! 🚨

Lawyers who use ms windows need to check and make sure their computers are working ok!

Recent updates by CloudStrike have caused disruptions in Microsoft Windows globally, affecting many IT infrastructures.

This has impacted airlines, hospitals, transportation infrastructure and could include law firms and court operations! This may be one of the few times that updating your (Windows) operating system is not a good idea.

This highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and the need for legal professionals to stay informed. Ensure your firm's IT team is aware of the latest updates and potential vulnerabilities - if you are a solo or small firm using Windows, you need to make sure your office systems are ok. Staying proactive can mitigate risks and safeguard client data.

Shout Out: Previous Podcast Guest Brett Burney talks about his evolution of computer use on MPU!

I am always catching up on my podcasts. There are many out there - some great, some not so good. It can be challenging to listen to all of them, and you do get behind in your listening (much like we get behind in our book reading list).  I had a chance to catch up on an old recording of the Mac Power Users, Episode #597, with previous The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Podcast guest Brett Burney.

My first computer if you don’t count my pong game from the mid- to late-1970s or my atari in the early 1980S!

Although it’s a couple of years old (yes, I sometimes skip episodes [in this case unintentionally]), I had a chance to listen to it and found it both valuable and entertaining. Brett, Dave, and Stephen, discuss many things about Mac.  But they also discuss how Brett uses his vast knowledge of computers to assist law firms in using technology effectively and efficiently in their practice.  I enjoyed hearing about Brett's journey starting office with a TRS-80 (me too!) to his first Mac to his iPhone, iPad, and Mac selection of choice today!

I think any lawyer, whether they use Windows or Apple, will enjoy the interview as Brett talks about his evolution of computer user in his personal and professional life. I think we can all learn something from this interview.  I know I did!

Enjoy!

#27: Spring Cleaning Tech Tips: Interview with Margaret Martin from Bungalow Tech

Spring is here! I invited Margaret Martin, owner of Bungalow Tech, to talk about spring cleaning your office’s technology - from determining what to keep, what and how to store, how to dispose of protected hardware properly, and more! Her company provides technical support and tutoring for Apple products in people's homes and businesses. Margaret provides COVID-Compliant one-on-one technical support (through voice and video calls). She can also take your equipment back to her office to do detailed troubleshooting, software upgrades, and new computer set-up.

The Tech Tips Margaret and I discuss are applicable to Android, Apple, and Windows technology.

Enjoy!
