If you missed the Apple March 8th event, here’s a quick recap of what was announced

Yes, wireless charging is simple, convenient, and clean. No messy or tangled cords and cables to deal with. Place your device on the wireless charging pad/stand and let the device charge. Great, right?

If you’re running a current version of Outlook for Mac, you’re probably aware that you can change the Outlook appearance from the legacy version of Outlook (aka the classic look) to ‘New Outlook’. However, if you use Outlook for Mac to connect to an Exchange server (on-premise Exchange or Hosted Exchange) and/or a POP mail server, you might want to stick to the legacy version of Outlook.

I’ve been running Boot Camp on my Early-2016 12-inch MacBook for almost two years and it has worked well enough for my specific use case. Performance isn’t great but it gets the job done. It’s a base model 12-inch MacBook with an Intel 1.1GHz Dual Core Intel Core m3 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB of flash storage currently running macOS Monterey natively and the latest version of Windows 10 Pro in Boot Camp.

If you are planning to establish a legal business entity (ex: Limited Liability Company (LLC) or Corporation) or have an existing legal business entity in New York and are considering a sub-chapter S election, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind.

Ok, perhaps I’m being a bit dramatic with the term “vultures” or maybe I’m not. In case you were unaware, New York is one of only three states that still require newly formed Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to publish a notice related to the formation of the LLC in newspapers.

If you decide to go into business for yourself, you’ll eventually want to form a legal business entity. A common type of entity structure for startups and small businesses is the Limited Liability Company or LLC. LLCs are established at the state level and are generally easy to form and don’t have as many requirements as Corporations.

Apple released macOS Monterey last October and if you’re finally ready to upgrade, the easiest option is to upgrade your existing installation of macOS to macOS Monterey provided your existing Mac is a supported device. If your Mac supports macOS Monterey, simply download macOS Monterey from the App Store and run the installation. Follow the on-screen prompts and in about 45 to 60 minutes, your Mac should be up and running on macOS Monterey.

To create a macOS Big Sur bootable USB installer, you will need a USB Flash Drive. Apple suggests at least 14GB of available storage so get a USB Flash Drive with at least 16GB of storage. Keep in mind all data on the USB Flash Drive will be erased so don’t use one with data that you want to keep. Name the USB Flash Drive “MyVolume”.

Need to update your organization information in Microsoft 365? You’ll need to make the changes in a few different locations.

If you haven’t made the move to Apple Silicon yet, it’s not a bad idea to start thinking about it and preparing for your eventual move to Apple Silicon, provided you intend to remain within the Apple ecosystem.

Ever wondered if an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter will work on a Windows laptop?

Generally, if you are comfortable preparing your own tax returns, are familiar with your tax situation and you don’t have a complex tax situation (ex: you only have income from W-2 wages, interest income from interest-bearing accounts, you don’t itemize your deductions or only itemize state & local taxes & charitable contributions), you should be able to prepare your own tax returns using tax preparation software (desktop or online) from companies like Intuit (TurboTax), H&R Block and TaxAct, just to name a few.

Finding a reliable router can be quite a challenge. After many years using Netgear routers, I decided to make a switch as Netgear has fallen short over the years and a lot has to do with the lack of quality control and testing of their firmware. I tried moving into the small business router arena with Cisco and the Cisco RV260W Small Business Router but that too fell short with performance, stability and reliability issues which forced me back to the drawing board.

You received but missed a Group FaceTime call. The FaceTime notification badge is lit. You open the FaceTime app and see the missed call. Within the Group FaceTime call, there’s a message that reads “Tap To Join”. You know the call is long over, so you decide to clear the missed call. You try to swipe left to delete the call, but you can’t.

I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless multi-function printer which is over ten years old, and it still works well. It gets a fair amount of use, but I don’t need to replace the ink cartridges more than two or three times a year and typically I don’t go through an entire 500-sheet ream of paper within that period.

Whenever I scan documents and photos on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless multi-function printer, I would prefer using the scan utility in the HP Solution Center.

For many years, I used Epson inkjet printers because of their print quality; however, I would constantly run into the issue of clogged printhead nozzles and degraded print quality.
