Your_IT_Guy Your guy to help get your computer or any device up and running again.

With years of tech experience under my belt I have decided there is not enough business out there that put the customer first and offer support and repair so I opened Your IT Guy.

is about to be released and it seems promising for the user and a pain in the butt for the web-admin.

The short version is there is no longer the "check the box to verify you're not a robot" as there is background tracking and an AI which is great but if you're a web-admin you have to enable a bunch of settings for it to take effect.

The new reCAPTCHA system does away with user interaction, instead using tracking features to assign a risk score to users.

While is doing everything is can to stop you from fixing your devices, has teamed up with to provide repair kits and parts for its various phones. Motorola has done this to help in the fight.

As Apple continues to fight independent repair, Motorola partners with iFixit and supports the right to repair movement.

If you have any new 2018 computer, you are now required to get any servicing done exclusively at Apple.

The computers have a new T2 chip (slightly ironic) that checks the system for matching ID's and if a part was swapped or replaced the chip will lock the system making the computer inoperable, the techs have new proprietary software that is run after a repair to reset the system ID's allowing the computer to run like normal. This applies to any and all components; RAM, monitor, SSD, keyboard, etc.

For reference if you ever needed a new keyboard in your I could replace it for $100 all in but now that you don't have a choice in repair options and you are looking at $600+ from Apple, this is why we need !

Failure to run Apple's proprietary diagnostic software after a repair "will result in an inoperative system and an incomplete repair."

Just when you were getting used to 2016, they have just launched Office 2019 (though it does look visually similar to 2016)

Some highlights include:

PowerPoint now has 4K video export, the ability to morph and zoom transitions and the option to insert 3D models into their slides.

Outlook also features a new ‘Focused Inbox’ that moves less important emails out of the way.

Working in IT, one of the most asked questions I get are "what's the thing you end up fixing the most?" With the answer being "dead or dying hard drives".

Most of the drives I see are either something in Windows is corrupted or the drive is starting to fail so I can recover most of the data, but there are times where the drive has completely failed or I get the "click of death". However one of my favourite YouTubers has gone to Ottawa to show a cost effect and reliable way to do full on dead drive data recovery or even firmware issues. This is a great video if you ever want to see the steps taken for data recovery.
