    Taking PC In For Repair - How Safe Is My Info/Data?

    Anyone who knows me knows I don't like paying over the odds for anything! :) But just why would you take a device containing all sorts of personal or business data that if lost, would be either a ballache, disaster or tragic loss of memories to someone with no track record, no certifications &...

    Taking PC In For Repair - How Safe Is My Info/Data?

    Getting back to the original question... It's down to the workshop's integrity so make sure you choose one that's recommended and not some kid working out of a back bedroom who doesn't pay vat, insurance etc... When I had my workshop, I was fully insured and to be honest, you shouldn't be...

    Does the Cyber Essentials Certificate need to be renewed each years

    You fall off the register after 12 months but hopefully the changes you made to improve your security stance will still be in place, boosting your security somewhat and may have helped streamline a few process as you went through the pain of looking at everything. And of course, if you're...

    Generating traffic to an automotive news website

    I think PetrolTed was doing some consultancy work, perhaps he'd offer up some advice now that it wouldn't be treading on toes. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire the Ted-Team... [cue music] He had an interesting Geolocation based site he...

    How to advertise to niche market

    Do JustEat & the like market to Fast food takeaways? Of course they must, so see if you can find out what & how they do it and mimic that. Perhaps see if you could piggyback on any of it if they send out newsletters for example.

    Card readers

    Well Paypal is a Merchant service, the only way YOU can accept Paypal is if you have that set up as a payment method on your website. I used to have a page on my website with a Paypal payment button on it (with open amount) so random payments through Paypal - therefore paid using wither cards...

    Director mortgages

    Can't post links yet but if you google Martland Mortgages you'll find a chap called Graham, based in Southport but covers the whole of the UK. Really knows his onions. 01704 808286 (hopefully it's ok to post phone numbers, not my business). I'd reiterate other advice, for anything remotely...

    Electric Cars - your opinion?

    Yup. Main dealers will fall back on their tried & tested faultfind technique of 'replace bits until it works' which may lead to new opportunities for independent component level workshops. I once did a huge favour to a local small garage who'd blown someone's ECU, looking at many £00's to...

    Electric Cars - your opinion?

    As a geek, I love the idea of an electric vehicle, particularly the faster ones :) But as a massive petrolhead I'll miss the sound of exploding dinosaurs under the bonnet. I'm also wondering how I'll tow my caravan but there's a few years for the tech to continue improving, the infrastructure...

    Greetings from a Merseyside Wordsmith & Photon Juggler

    Hello All. By way of introduction, I'm based in a small burrow not far from the banks of the mighty River Mersey. By trade I'm a techie & geek although over the years that's morphed somewhat into my current wearing of many hats. I still play with electronics from time to time I can even play...
