I’m going to link to a post from SmarterMSP.com, but I want to summarize here. Most of my clients won’t benefit that much from the linked article. They need to follow my much simpler rule set: This is only going to get worse. AI allows even people who are not very clever to create clever…
This is the second part of the video I embedded from YouTube yesterday. While I am interested in the part about IT as it hits close to home, even for someone on the “old-ward” slide from full time IT, I’m even more interested in the policies and pressures on business that tend to make consolidation…
The podcast/YouTube channel Into the Desert has been examining a number of issues in religion, philosophy, and politics. They have started a series on the problems with the IT business in general, including consolidation, deterioration of service, and employment issues including instability. Here’s the first video. They’ve made a second, but if you want to…
This is another quick fix. I added a new Sectigo security certificate to my ecommerce set, https://energiondirect.com. The certificate provides a seal which provided information to users. There’s a bit of Javascript Code to put into the header, and then some to be put in the body. My actual seal kept appearing at the bottom…
I suspect this will be needed by very few, but I didn’t see it elsewhere, so I thought I’d post just in case! I had a report that printed with a very narrow margin, such that my printer cut off parts of the text. I started to do a workaround by printing first to PDF,…

A number of people have wound up calling me to help them recover their computers when the problem was simply that some website had been given permission to send notifications. When browsing, be very careful. The more popular the category in which you’re searching, the more likely there are bad websites pretending to serve your…
I was preparing to interview an author regarding a book, and decided to try talking to Gemini to see what would happen. Note that I’m using Gemini Advanced as part of Google Workspaces. I don’t think this would differ with the regular edition, however. I have repaired capitalization and punctuation in my own prompts, but…
I’m posting this because I had some trouble finding the right terminology and eventually had to discover the right class for the object. I’m not sure why this popup kept appearing with a black background, but it did. I could not find any way to edit it, so I added CSS in the customizer. Here’s…
Due to a remote execution flaw in CyberPanel, I had to clean up after this attack. The most useful site I found was Kinsing malware (kdevtmpfsi) – how to kill on CreateIt. The instructions there are useful. Don’t forget to do the full search, as if you have any “kinsing” files left, they’ll get things started…
