Choosing a New Printer | Y-Not Tech Services – Lethbridge, AB
I recently got a new printer for Y-Not Headquarters and I thought I’d talk a little bit about the factors I looked at when I chose to replace it. I’ll also talk about why I chose the printer I did.
Why I Got a New Printer
In this case, I didn’t need a new printer. The one I had was working fine, however, I was replacing the ink at an alarming rate. The printer I had was not one I would ever choose to use for a business (or home for that matter…), but it was given to me by a client that couldn’t get it to work and chose to just replace it instead of trying to get it to work.

Should I be using Antivirus on my Mac?
How To Free Up Hard Drive Space in Windows 10 – The Easy Way
Windows 10’s next major release is scheduled to drop sometime in October of 2018 and Microsoft has announced that there is a small problem with it. The update fails to check if the PC has enough storage space to install the update. If the PC is lacking in hard drive (or Solid State) space, the update will fail, and then try again. And fail. And then try again. And fail. Well, I think you get the picture. The biggest problem with this scenario is that you will see a poorer performance from your PC while it tries to install the update, and since it will keep trying to install, the poor performance will continue.
