The modern way to fax

Fax is not dead. Although many will argue this point saying that no one has faxed a document since the 1980s, other know that though fax does not really operate in its conventional form anymore, it is still alive and kicking. Modern businesses all over the world are seeing the sense in implementing fax to email, rather than sticking to their old fax machines because this allows them to still send hefty documents, but in a faster, more convenient and more affordable way.

The way in which fax to email works is relatively simple to understand. Those who use it sign up for an online account with a service provider that allows them to use their services. They can then send faxes and receive them from their email. These faxes are sent almost immediately and because they are received in the person’s inbox, can be opened on the go, making them more convenient.

What some people do not know is that this affects storage. Many businesses have already made the switch to storage on the Cloud, but others are still using old fashioned paper and file cabinets. Businesses that see saving the environment and protecting information as a priority will be happy to know that using fax to email means that everything is stored in digital format. Even if your computer were to crash, your faxes would still exist in your email inbox, and on the server of the service provider. Thus, they could be retrieved whenever they were needed.

Old fashioned faxes have certainly outlived their usefulness, but this new way of faxing means that anyone can still send the documents they need to quickly and efficiently. The question then is why more businesses are not using this system. There is no doubt that it is more convenient and saves more money. And if cannot be disputed that such a system is better, both for the environment and for businesses’ security. Though this argument is logical, there are some businesses that refuse to change and will stick to their old ways, and this is likely the reason that they do not grow and progress.

Renting vs buying

Increasingly, it is becoming more economical to rent/lease computer equipment rather than buy them. Most brands offer after sales service for only one year after the purchase date. After that all maintenance has to be done by the equipment owner or an AMC has to be signed, which can be expensive. Also for most computer/electronics equipment the performance deteriorates significantly after the first year of use, so money may be wasted in procuring expensive components as replacements.
In terms of reliability/performance, computer equipment can be ranked in the following sequence
1.Branded desktops – very reliable , most work for a year or two without major problems
2.Branded laptops/netbooks – vulnerable to hacking using WiFi / Bluetooth
3.Branded printers – deskjets, allin ones – most unreliable at present, scanning functions stops arbitarily, power supply malfunctions.
Have tested 3 major brands of printers /all in one devices.
In such cases at least for laptops /netbooks/ printers , leasing may be a more cost effective solution.

Blocking WiFi networks

Today most netbooks and laptops have bluetooth and WiFi enabled as a default setting and this can create problems for the user. If a hacker uses a cable, DSL or dialup connection to access your computer, you can simply disconnect the cable and use your laptop or desktop without any interference.

However, securing your computer against a WiFi network accessing your computer, without your permission is far more difficult. Even if you disable the bluetooth and WiFi connection through the control panel, some hackers seem to be able to enable these wireless connections remotely , access data on your computer and install malware. One solution to this problem is to purchase a WiFi jammer for blocking these signals. Another solution is to relocate to a place where you are out of the range of the suspect WiFi network.

Computer security with a cable internet connection

One of the main disadvantages of using a cable internet connection with a fixed IP address is that your computer becomes vulnerable to hackers all around the world. They can take control of your computer, and you may be held responsible for their actions. So while a cable internet connection is often faster than other internet connections, especially for downloads, it is advisable to minimize its usage, especially if you think it has been hacked.

USB hub with power supply

USB hub with power supply

USB hub with power supply

Most computers have  only 4 USB ports, which is often insufficient when you are using a number of  USB drives.  Also most external HDDs have to be connected to  at least  2 USB ports so that they get adequate power for operation.  Using an USB hub with a power supply solves this problem  to  some extent.

Website loads blank pages

Sometimes instead of web pages with data, you only see blank web pages.  Some of the reasons for this could be :

1) The PHP code does not execute mid-way through rendering the page server-side so it crashes returning null headers back to the client browser.
2) The server the website is running on has no memory left to process the request , this is an intermittent problem.
3) The  website is running on non-server grade hardware that does not have ECC RAM and/or production grade CPUs  with adequate capacity. So whenever there is memory corruption or bad bits the Apache process fails midway.

In each case, you can try again after some time.
