OMSUK’s response to COVID-19. In short: we are fully functional and ready to help all our clients work from home and stay functional too.
When I told the guys here at OMSUK that I’d ordered an iPad Pro to replace my work laptop they had some concerns, mostly around security. However it’s far less of an issue on iPad than a traditional computer.
The first great thing about all modern iPads is that they’re all encrypted. It’s not really an option, it’s just on when you setup a passcode, TouchID or FaceID and one less thing to remember to do when you get the device from new. This means that if it’s stolen then our confidential information (and yours) is safe.
When my MacBook Pro died at the end of last year I was faced with a decision; what do I replace it with. I looked at my requirements and top of the list was portability.
I looked at Apple’s laptop line-up and was stuck between the power of the MacBook Pro and the portability of the MacBook/MacBook Air. Then it occurred to me that there was another option; the iPad Pro.
We all remember the “I am a Nigerian Prince” scam emails from a decade ago which has become a pop-culture reference for scam emails.
These days, people are putting a lot more effort into trying to trick you into giving over your personal information and/or payment details. Some copy a genuine email that a company uses, including logos, then tweak it to help them get the details they need. They are often forceful and try and use scare tactics to make you fall for the scam.
