Help me weather the stormQ: "I've been struggling to get my business off the ground for years, and we finally hit our stride in 2019. Now with everything happening in the world, my team is working from home and I'm so lost. How do I get everyone set up for success?" A: I feel for you. It's such an uncertain time, and this is uncharted territory for all of us. For years, I've relied on tech from Dell to run my business, and they can help you too.

Slow internet is driving me nutsQ: "I can't take slow Wi-Fi anymore. My son is home from school and always on his computer or playing video games, my husband is on video calls for work and I just can't get anything to load. What can I do?" A: Right now, a strong Wi-Fi connection doesn't feel like a luxury — it feels like a necessity. First, run a speed test and make sure you're getting the speed you pay for. You can always prod your internet company if you're not, but networks are beyond strained. Your best bet is upgrading your equipment. A mesh router is the best way I've found to boost my coverage and eliminate dead spots. Here's how it works: eero blankets your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi, eliminating poor coverage and buffering. It's easy to set up, too. Get free overnight shipping by visiting eero.com/Kim and use promo code Kim at checkout. |
Is my identity at risk?Q: "My friend got fooled by a phony IRS call. It shook me a bit because she's smart and I always think smart people can't fall for crap like that. What can I do to be more diligent?' A: Here's the truth: Scammers are smarter than ever. They know how to fool people, and they make a lot of money doing it. As cautious or skeptical as you are, it may not be enough. These days, if you want to be safe, you need some help. Identity Guard alerts you to high-risk transactions your bank may not flag, including personal info found on the Dark Web, requests to open accounts in your name and so much more. |
