Apple Vision Pro to be released in the US on Feb 2nd

Apple have announced a release date for the long awaited Apple Vision Pro headset - to be released in the US on February 2nd. Unfortunately we won’t see it here in Australia for a while - and most likely out of the price range for most people. But will be interesting to see feedback and opinions once it’s out to the public. And if rumours are true, we may see a more affordable option down the track for the day to day consumer.

What not to expect from Apple in 2024

We normally keep an eye out for the items we’re expecting to see during the year, but for something different MacRumors has an article on what NOT to expect from Apple during the year. Might give us some idea of what things will arrive, and what may not.

A bit of a “checklist” we can use at the end of the year to see how they went.

Have you considered if your computer stops working or could be down for quite a while?

If your computer crashes or is down for a long period time, or even if it’s going to be away for service work for a while, have you considered the down time this could cause to yourself, your work and/or business?

There is a way that an external drive can be set up beforehand where in these sort of circumstances you can still be up and running relatively easy - even if your computer has to go away for days to be repaired.

It’s a relatively cheap and easy process. 

If you would like to find out more about how this can be set up for yourself or your business please feel free to drop me an email or call to discuss.

Be aware of “Fake webpages” advising you need to update.

So there is a bit of a rise on the number of webpages or fake links that will try to trick you into calling a number or clicking a link to “update” some piece of software.

I’ve written a page with a bit more info on it here
