 The reason we call a software glitch a “bug”If you have ever used electronics, you have inevitably run into some issue or bug.

I'm over Google PhotosQ: My camera roll is automatically backing up to Google Drive and all my photos are in Google Drive. I have used Google Takeout to back them up locally, however it takes forever for the backup to complete and once done, I not only have images, but also the metadata file for that image. Do you know of a good solution to backup all my photos from Google without having to use Google Takeout? A: Your best bet is going with a cloud-based backup system you can stick with for years to come. My pick is IDrive. It's fast and easy to set up, you can sync all your devices and manage them from one account. For just a few bucks, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more. Save 90% (yes, really!) at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout. |
Drowning in resumesQ: I need to hire someone, but I can barely manage all the resumes I get when I post a job online. I stick to the free sites to save cash, but I'm feeling like that's the wrong move. Any advice? A: You can attract a lot of candidates on those sites, but as you've found, you won't necessarily get the right ones. It's a ton of work sorting through all of that! You might not even find anyone who fits the job. When I'm hiring, I use LinkedIn Jobs. It can help by matching your role with qualified candidates so you can find the right person quickly. LinkedIn screens for skills and you can use a ton of different tools to narrow down your search. That means so much less work on your end. |
An email account that doesn't sell my info?Q: I’m looking for an email account server that is secure. Any recommendations? A: I've gotten many questions like this one recently. More and more people want to move out of Big Tech's reach. I get it. That's why I'm so excited about a new sponsor of my show, StartMail. It's an email service I really trust, and you can too. They don't track you, they don't analyze your emails, and they aren't packaging up and selling your data to the highest bidder. You can send encrypted emails with one click, and when you delete an email, it’s gone forever. |
