Remote assistance, what can be done on a computer and other. The latter concerns any thing that has a web interface, or, more simply, it can receive an IP address in your network. In particular, video surveillance and intercom systems, access control. 

If a remote assistance program like TeamViewer is installed and there is normal Internet, you can do anything. With the exception of physical manipulations, the owner will perform the latter without any problems as instructed by the master. Here I would like to repeat once again about connecting to the Internet with a cable, and not via Wi-Fi. Although for simple tasks it will be enough.

The most important thing is that remote assistance saves a lot of time and your money. Of course, there is still the concept of trust in the master, not everyone wants to climb into their computer in this way. Well, in this case, do not store too valuable information. Or remove it in advance!

Printer operation, MFP, how to install correctly in new systems. I would like to immediately say something about inkjet printing, since it is a little easier in laser. Or what happens when an inexperienced user installs a printing device.

In modern systems, starting with Windows 10, Microsoft simplified the installation of drivers to a minimum. Bought, turned on, everything was pulled up and installed, and most importantly, it works, so why touch it. But proprietary utilities such as cleaning the print head, nozzle test (printed on paper and displaying the number of printing nozzles and non-printing ones ) are very necessary when working with inkjet devices.

Recently a friend called me and said that the printer prints with spaces? As it turned out, Windows 11 pulled up the drivers for him, and nothing more. I installed the proprietary software by going into his computer remotely, and now he is delighted that he can easily clean an ... Read more »

Installing programs by a computer user, why does it work slowly? Let's start with the main thing, why does this happen. It has become common to add third-party installation to many free software. For example, you install a cleaning program and you are offered to install an antivirus as a bonus. Ordinary computer users, that is, users, often do not read the details, although you can uncheck the box. They just click next and, as a fact, install everything in a row.

In addition, the developers themselves resort to all sorts of tricks. Making the font small and closing the cross icon, like you have nowhere to go. It is clear that companies that do such things enter into an agreement with those who will download their program. And each download with installation is a plus for them.

The unpleasant thing about the above is that, for example, my clients call and complain that their computers are slow. I go remotely, and there is a banal second antivirus. Once again, I wi ... Read more »

Multiboot flash drive, pros and cons. Now there is a lot of discussion online about the Ventoy program  , which allows you to make one media for installing several systems, be it Windows or Linux. Moreover, there is simply a barrage of instructions on how and why.

The thing is very interesting and convenient for those who don’t want to buy and mess with a bunch of USB drives. Like I carry everything I have with me. Do it and forget it, everything you need is always at hand. Of course, you need to tinker first to write it down correctly. For the completely inexperienced, there is a sea of ​​videos on YouTube. 

I have already described the advantages above. Of the minuses, there are jokes on old computers. Well, and most importantly, one carrier is not always reliable. Personal experience has shown that this is somewhat better. For example, you came o ... Read more »
