Wireless transfers Wireless transfer is the most common option available to manufacturers thanks to Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi Direct technologies.

Cloud solutions are a great example of this evolution. You’ve probably already heard that they can help you make better use of your devices. That’s true, but many people still aren’t clear on how they work and, more concretely, how can they help. Here’s some handy information to help you understand what cloud services are all about. 1. Your cloud is yours only! The first thing you need to know is that when you use a cloud service, the only person who can access your data is you. It’s important to let that sink in. A lot of people are afraid that once their information is sent to the cloud, it will be accessible to everyone on the Internet. But the fact is that no one knows your password but you—not even the cloud service provider’s staff! So don’t forget this important nugget of information: you are the only person who can access your information. 2. What exactly is the cloud? In the IT field, the term “cloud” refers to storage space reserved just for you. Think of it as a bank account for saving your information. To access it, you need a device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and an Internet connection. Most cloud services require an email address (to use as your ID) and a password. To understand how the cloud system works, let’s go back to our banking analogy. When you want to access your bank account, you need a debit card (which is like a user name) and a PIN number (which is like a password). 3. What is the cloud used for? The cloud’s main function is to make a copy of your information so that nothing is lost if your device is misplaced or stolen. Services like Apple iCloud or Google Drive have features that enable automatic backups. In fact, whenever your device is connected to Wi-Fi, its contacts, photos, notes, reminders, appointments, search history and more are all saved in this virtual storage space. That way, even if you lose your device, you can still access most of your personal information via websites like icloud.com or google.com/drive. 4. How does syncing work? To get a better understanding of what we mean by “syncing devices,” let’s imagine that phones, tablets and computers are all ways of accessing the Internet and your accounts, much like an ATM at the bank. No matter where you go, you still have access to the same amount of money. The same is true with the cloud! Syncing your devices allows you to access the same contacts, photos and other data on all your devices. This means that if you make a change on one device, it will be automatically applied to all the others and saved in the cloud. Did you buy a new phone? Simply connect your new device to your cloud account and all your information will be available to you. How do you know if these features are enabled? Open the settings on your various devices and go through the backup options.

Internet Videotron, Proposition menteuse
Nous avons récemment fait la transition de l’internet 150Mb/s de Sogetel vers l’offre 500Mb/s de Videotron. Il faut dire que je ne savais pas que c’était encore sur la technologie « cable » et non fibre optique comme Sogetel. non seulement ça a pris deux techniciens pour réussir à obtenir une connexion plus stable et qui atteint 450Mb/s mais en plus le « jitter » est horrible. personne ne peut jouer à CS:GO ou frag punk tellement il y a du flapping. Après 3 semaines j’ai dû reconnecter mon ancien routeur parce que leur routeur Helix surchauffe et ne pouvait pas offrir la stabilité et la flexibilité de mon routeur Asus RT-AX86S. Vraiment décevant. Pas étonnant qu’ils donnent le routeur sans frais!! est-ce que je devrais intenter des poursuites pour proposition frauduleuse afin de récupérer une partie de ce qu’on a payé mensuellement? je voudrais retourner sur Sogetel mais évidement, la facture augmente. Tout ce trouble et cet argent gaspillé à cause de Videotron.
