While installing the Windows 10 anniversary update on an Acer laptop this week I had a problem with the install getting about a third of the way through when the screen went black. The laptop wouldn't respond to any keypress and could only be turned off by pressing the power button for 20 - 30 seconds.

Windows 10 - Restore the old photo import


This post explains how to restore the old import routine in Windows 10. This tip comes courtesy of Mike Lang.

With Windows 10, Microsoft brought out a new Photo app called 'Photos'. They also hid the old Photo import. The problem with the new Photo app is that it it makes it very difficult to import photos into the folder of your choice. It doesn't give you the option to name the folders. It lumps all your photos by dates.

This post is slightly more technical than most. It explains how to create a shortcut to the old import program. If anyone doesn't feel confident doing it, we can do it for you at our BAY Centre technical clinics every Friday 11am - 1pm & 1.30pm - 3.30pm (£2 per session which includes a hot drink and biscuits).

We are going to create a 'shortcut' on the desktop which will point to the old import program.

TalkTalk fined £400,000 for data breach



TalkTalk have been fined a record £400,000 by the information Commissioner's Office (ICO) after TalkTalk's large scale data breach in October 2015.

 They were fined because TalkTalk hadn't taken the basic steps to protect the customer's information and they had allowed the hacker to access customer information "with ease".

 156,959 people had their names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and email addresses stolen. in 15,655 cases, the attackers also stole bank account details and sort codes.

 Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said, "TalkTalk's failiure to implement the most basic security measures allowed hackers to penetrate TalkTalk's system with ease".

 "hacking is wrong, but that is not an excuse for companies to abdicate their security obligations. TalkTalk should and could have done more to safeguard its customer information."
