So here’s a dirty little secret about faxing. If you depended on faxing, this was the board to have. Back in the day there was a specific fax board that was the best computer faxing board around. Slowly but surely faxing is starting to die out. On the back of the unit they even still have a plastic hole where the fax machine USED to be connected with an analog fax board, but clearly the manufacturer deems faxing with a phone line to no longer be used. That just means it has a hook into an online faxing service. So if you go shopping for a multi-function fax machine – beware of devices that include “cloud fax”.

I found it fascinating that there is a hole in the back of the unit where the faxboard USEDto be. Rather it means a trial for a cloud fax service and if you want it to continue you have to pay for it. Nor does it mean a free cloud faxing service built in. When it says “Cloud fax” it does NOT mean a plain old analog fax that uses a phone line. First off when it says it’s a “Multifunction Wireless Printer with Print, Copy, Scan and Cloud Fax Capabilities” beware on that last part. Now this unit is not for the faint of heart. So I replaced it with a Lexmark MC3426i unit.

The other day I retired an HP color laser all in one that I had here at home because my Sister was about to chuck it out the window.

To turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, you need:Īn Apple ID with two-factor authentication.Ī passcode or password set for your device.Īt least one account recovery contact or recovery key. Only turn on encryption if you’ve ensured that you have documented how to recover. If you have an older Mac computer you won’t be able to enable this.Īlso once you enable it, you’ll need to approve access when you log into icloud on the web.Īnd THEN, make sure you document that encryption password and have various recovery methods to ensure should you need to get back in, you can. Now that said… be aware of some limitations. This enables end to end encryption on your iCloud backups so that you and only people you choose (and not attackers that gain access to your password) get access to your photos and data. Just a reminder that if you are an iphone user, you can turn on Advanced Data Protection. Posted on Maat 23:10 CST by Susan Bradley
