instead of asking for people to buy things from us on Black Friday, maybe On Top of I.T. should give some products away.

I mean, if we did that, would anyone be interested?

Top 10 Reasons You Shouldn't Choose On Top of I.T. as Your I.T. Provider...

1. Too much peace of mind – Who wants to sleep soundly at night knowing their network is secure and their data is backed up? That's overrated.

2. Responsive support? No thanks! We all love sitting on hold for hours or waiting days for a callback when things go wrong, right?

3. Fixing the real problem – Why would you want someone who actually fixes underlying issues instead of slapping a Band-Aid on them? That sounds way too efficient.

4. 19 years of experience – Ugh, who needs experience when you can roll the dice with a brand-new startup that’s still trying to figure out how to turn on a computer?

5. Teams in Tucson and Phoenix – Local support that understands your business? Nah, let’s stick with someone outsourcing your problems halfway across the world!

6. No long-term contracts – Flexibility is so inconvenient. We’d much rather be locked into a multi-year contract with no escape clause.

7. Security overload – Anti-virus, DNS filtering, backup management, AND regular security analysis'? That's way too much protection for a normal business. Who needs all that?

8. Documentation nerds – On Top of I.T. is way too organized, with documentation that actually ensures consistent support. We prefer the chaotic mystery of not knowing what the last tech did.

9. 97% client retention – Almost all their clients stick around? That sounds suspicious... What’s the fun in reliable service when you can jump from provider to provider?

10. Affordable pricing – Why save money with flexible pricing and scalable packages when you could blow your entire I.T. budget on flashy but ineffective services elsewhere?

Scam Alert:

If you or someone you know receives a message of the following nature, it should be disregarded.

It's just yet another attempt to scam you, a business associate, or a loved one out of money.

"Is visiting a better way to contact if you don't take action

Have been here before?

I suggest you read this message carefully. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it.

'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I ain't playing games. You don't
know anything about me however I know you very well and right now, you are wondering how,
right?

Well, You've been treading on thin ice with your browsing habits, clicking through those adult videos
and venturing into the darker corners of cyberspace. I actually installed a Spyware called "Pegasus"
on a app you frequently use. Pegasus is a spyware that is designed to be covertly and remotely
installed on mobile phones running iOS and Android. While you were busy watching videos, your
smartphone started out working as a RDP (Remote Control) which provided me complete control
over your device. I can look at everything on your display, switch on your cam and mic, and you
wouldn't have a clue. Oh, and I've got access to all your emails, contacts, and social media accounts
too.

What I want?

Been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while now. It's simply your hard luck that I
noticed your misdemeanor. I invested in more time than I probably should have looking into your
data. Extracted quite a bit of juicy info from your system. and I've seen it all. Yeah, Yeah, I've got
footage of you doing embarrassing things in your room (nice setup, by the way). I then developed
videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there's the videos you were playing, and on
the other half, it is someone doing inappropriate things. With simply a single click, I can send this
video to all of your contacts.

What should you do?

I feel your worry and confusion. As a family man, I'm ready to wipe the slate clean, and let you get
on with your daily life and wipe your slate clean. I am about to offer you two alternatives. Either
turn a blind eye to this warning (bad for you and your family) or pay me a small amount to close this
mattter for life. Let’s explore those 2 options in more depth.

First Alternative is to disregard my message. Let's see what will happen if you opt this path. Your
video will get sent to your entire contacts. The video is lit, and I can't even fathom the
embarrasement you'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and fam watch it. But hey, that's life,
ain't it? Don't be playing the victim here.

Option 2 is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We will name this my “keep the secret fee”.
Now Lets discuss what happens when you pick this path. Your secret will remain private. I will
wipe everything clean once you come through with the payment. You'llsend the payment via Bitcoin
only. Pay attention, I'm telling you straight: 'We gotta make a deal'. I want you to know I'm coming
at you with good intentions. I stand by my promises.

Amount to be sent: USD 2000

BITCOIN ADDRESS IS: 1MshgwksHxkCpYWrb4weDvdS9YBBHGeQWg

Or, (Here is your Bitcoin QR code, you can scan it):

Once you pay up, you'llsleep like a baby. I keep my word.

Note: You got one day to sort this out. (I have a specific pixel in this email message, and at this
moment I know that you've read through this message). My system will catch that Bitcoin payment
and wipe out all the dirt I got on you. Don't even think about replying to this, it's pointless. The email
and wallet are custom-made for you, untraceable. I don't make mistakes, . If I suspect that
you've shared or discussed this message with anyone else, your garbage will instantly start getting
sent to your contacts. And don't even think about turning off your phone or resetting it to factory
settings. It's pointless.

Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem.

Don't dwell on it. Take it as a little lesson and keep your guard up in the future"

Why is my laptop screen so dark?

Imagine, you’ve just bought a laptop and you’re excited to take it with you to work outside your local coffee shop on a sunny day, only to find you can’t see a thing on your so-called outstandingly sharp laptop screen and have to return back to the office.

You think to yourself, why did I even buy a laptop in the first place?

How to avoid this from happening to you:

Low brightness in a laptop screen can have several causes.

When you’ve tried all the screen settings to increase brightness and contrast, what it boils down to is “NITs”. NITs are units that measure the brightness capability of any given screen or monitor, meaning exactly how brightly they can shine. NIT is short for the Latin word “nitere”, meaning “to shine” and is a measurement equivalent to the light given off by one candle per square meter.

Most laptop NITs measure at 200-300 NIT’s and are adequate for indoor use.

However, if you think you’ll be utilizing your laptop in less than ideal brightness conditions – you’ll need at least 400-600 NITs and may prefer to purchase one with a display capable of 1000-1200 NITs.

Keep in mind that the brighter the display, the more expensive the computer but like most things in life and in business, you get what you pay for.
