My PC is a mess Q: Following the most recent Windows 10 updates, my desktop started locking up after sitting idle for 30 to 45 minutes. The displays froze, the USB mouse froze, the Bluetooth keyboard froze. The only way to regain control was to do a power cycle reboot. Help!

Worried about my data cap Q: I am thinking about getting SimpliSafe for my home but do not have unlimited internet. If I get this system, along with a few cameras, how much data will I be using up on a monthly basis before my general use? And will it slow down my computer or smart television? A: SimpliSafe cameras record only when triggered. Different events have different recording times, and the data used also depends on video quality. Here's an example. Say you had a break-in that lasted 5 minutes. With the default quality (720p), that recording would typically be about 30 MB. You'd need to have several full alarms every single day for a month to reach a gigabyte of data. Allow about 10 MB a day per camera. All the other components run on cellular that's included with the monthly monitoring bill. Visit SimpliSafeKim.com to get a free HD security camera, with free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee. |
