TechnoHawk

TechnoHawk Relocated, no longer in Tasmania Hello! Thanks for stopping by my page. I'm Tyson, owner of TechnoHawk and a new arrival to West Kentish (Late 2020).

There's a good chance you're here because some part of your digital life is not making sense, performing slowly, needing to be upgraded, secured or otherwise just causing frustration rather than being helpful! TechnoHawk is here to help! Offering advice and support on all aspects of computer technologies, it's my goal to help you get the most from the technologies you own by:

- Empowering you wit

h knowledge of your devices and their potential.
- Backing up your all-important files to protect against loss.
- Securing your increasingly digital life.
- Repairing or upgrading parts before replacing. (Give an old device new life!)
- Buying the right devices to add the functionality you need.
- Keeping your computers and network healthy and optimized. I'm operating as a call-out service where I come to you and can help in the comfort of your own home or business. Many tasks can be assisted with remotely. Once we've met and established a rapport, I can save you time by remotely connecting to help with some of the more frequent software-based issues that occur while talking through them on the phone. If you feel like there's something I may be able to help you with, please give me a call or drop me an email:

Plenty of people will be asking the question: 'Should I upgrade to Windows 11'?

We don't yet know which side of the bus it's going to end up on! My advice is to hold off for the time being. It's very unlikely there's any software that you 'need' to upgrade for as yet - and Windows 10 isn't being dropped to the wayside just yet.

If you get a message that your PC doesn't meet the system requirements to run Windows 11, consider yourself lucky ;)

Quick history lesson. 📚

Some very kind words in the Kentish Voice from a great client.  Thanks Tony! Glad I could be of help =)

The world produces 50 million tons of e-waste each year — equivalent to 4,500 Eiffel Towers or 125,000 jumbo jets — from old computers, discarded screens, broken smartphones, and damaged tablets. (http://ewastemonitor.info/)

This is an issue TechnoHawk is committed to combatting in whatever little ways we can. A lot of devices that seem like they're useless can contain parts that are usable elsewhere or can be fixed with just one new part.

Of course, everything dies eventually including computers, so it's great to see amazing innovation from Mint Innovation (https://www.mint.bio/) which aims to assist the process of reclaiming the precious metal raw materials which are what makes our electronics work!

Check out this amazing video that details the process!

If you have a computer that you're ready to toss out, give TechnoHawk a call and let's see if there's another option!

A New Zealand startup has found a way to extract gold from old circuit boards using inexpensive chemicals and microbes that absorb precious metals.

Android users - please be aware of the Flubot pandemic which your phones are susceptible to! The best action with suspicious-looking messages like this is always just to ignore and delete. You have a voicemail system you've been using for years and it's never sent you weird messages like this, so please don't think it's anything important!

The Flubot malware has started to appear in Australia. Here's what it is, how to avoid it, and how to remove malware from your Android phone.

Very pleased to have been contacted by Railton Neighbourhood Centre to give the public-use computer a refresh. This is a great free service being offered! Check it out if you need to do some work that a phone just doesn't cut it for. Printing/scanning/copying is available too.

The computer is in great shape now, and there's a bunch of great activities being run by the lovely volunteer team! Definitely drop in to say hello!
