Well, actually you can subscribe to the blog and follow Tech on Twitter and CNTNation.

Now on with the tip... the Tech Tip!  No matter what device you own or have, PC, laptop, phone, tablet, gaming console, Smart T.V. and or watch, the key to keeping it working properly and to keep it secure is to keep it updated.

Now, I am speaking of security updates and patches and not necessarily operating system update.  Sometimes for those it is fine to be patient and wait till all of the bugs are worked out.  Most devices will ask you before jumping to the next operating system, but having an out of date operating system can be dangerous too (If an operating system is out of date it is no longer providing security updates i.e Windows XP) Always be sure when it comes to security updates and patches automatic updates should be turned on.

Side Note, Yes, Windows 10 has taken a new approach to this and will touch on it in a future Tech Tip.

Reason being there has been many hacker attacks as of late and one way to be save is to stay updated; so that you are protected against viruses and hacks.

I will in the future break down updating certain devices.  More to come in future Tech Tips!
