Looking for studyblrs to follow!

Hi! This is my new studyblr focused on maths, physics and computing (currently at A-Level). I’m looking for studyblrs to follow (particularly ones in the subjects I just listed, but I’ll also follow studyblrs not STEM-oriented!) so it’d be great if you could reblog this! 

Save Your Computer

I have the worst luck. I’ve broken five computers and four laptops but I’ve finally learnt my lesson. After losing my work so many times, I have been great at rewriting because I’d never backed anything up. Take it from me:

Even if you backup your work in one external source from your computer, back it up online or in as many places as you can

Back up according to how much valuable work you have so if you save work/programs frequently, back up once every week

If you have a Windows computer, go onto Control Panel and search “back up”. Click on the first link and follow through from there

Do not wait until it’s too late

I may add more information on if I can think of any, but here are some useful links on some other ways to back up your computer: Windows help to backing up files How to Back Up a Computer (among other devices) How to Back up Data The absurdly simple guide to backing up your PC Three Best Ways to Back Up Your Files 6 cheap ways to back up your files 8 Ways to Back up Your Computer Files How to back up your data Done a Computer Backup Lately?

If you’re planning on getting a gaming PC, please read this.

Consider building it yourself, or hiring someone else to do it. It’s not as challenging as a lot of people think it is. If you don’t feel like you can handle the responsibility, consider hiring someone local. You will save hundreds of dollars, probably $200 to $300.

If you end up buying a pre-built, do NOT buy Alienware. It’s trash. It’s marked up to disgusting prices and the hardware selection is God awful. Which moves me into my next point.

When you’re looking at PC’s or hardware, don’t go for the i7. Is an i7 a good processor? Absolutely. Does that mean its best for a gaming PC? No. The most important part of a PC that you will be using primarily for gaming (and of course other mundane stuff like work/school and the internet) is the graphics card. GPU GPU GPU, not CPU. All of these pre-built’s use i7′s because they’re known as “EXTREMELY EXTREME i7 FOR EXTREME GAMING FOR EXTREME GAMERS”, when that’s not true. Does that mean get a shitty processor? Of course not. Save $100 on a processor and get an i5, and spend the $100 on a better graphics card. An i5 will perform almost identically to an i7 (When it comes to video games, VFX and rendering is a different story), and an extra $100 on your graphics card will be a HUGE help when running demanding games.

I’m so tired of these big companies like Dell and ASUS making these PC’s with an i7 and people buying it thinking its the best gaming PC for the price. My friend just got an ASUS ROG G20 for $1200. It’s not worth the money for the performance you’ll be getting.

Invest in yourself in 2016.

Migrating From Desktop to Cloud Accounting Software

We’ve looked at the benefits of cloud accounting software, and listed the top picks and their features. Nobody’s denying the need to move to the cloud anymore, but the big question is the how.

Migrating company data from accounting software on a local system to one on the cloud is a tricky process that varies for each company and software.

All the major providers such as Sage, Intuit and Xero are helping their clients who already use desktop software move to the cloud in their own way and in a manner that best suits the client’s needs.

For example, Intuit customers moving from QuickBooks Desktop Basic Simple Start, Pro, Premier or Enterprise versions to QuickBooks Online have a multitude of resources and documentation available in the knowledgebase.

There’s a simple visual guide that takes you step-by-step through the process of importing your company file into QBO. There’s a more detailed import guide that tells you everything about migrating from a desktop version to QBO.

Another Intuit guide tells you about the limitations and the way the data is changed when you move it to QBO. Note that you won’t be able to do any of this on QBO Basic or QBO Simple Start.

Sage does one better by including a conversion tool in the software for those who have a desktop version of Quickbooks and want to switch to Sage 50 (formerly Sage Peachtree).

Those who are already Sage 50 users can move to the cloud easily just by signing up with hosting providers who offer an instantly accessible application that is remotely hosted at a secure off-site location.

These Sage 50 solution partners such as InsynQ, myownasp.com, Right Networks, Qutera, Cloud9 Real Time and HarborCloud.com offer turnkey solutions.

Your Sage 50 will be fully functional online, and you will be able to use MS-Office and other applications that often need to be used along with accounting software. Multiple users will be able to access the same files online from anywhere, regardless of their location.     

Xero, which only offers cloud accounting software, has both a free conversion tool and a DIY guide for those who want to move their Quickbooks data to Xero.

As you can see, each company has its own way of helping customers who want to use their software on the cloud. Your choice must therefore take into consideration not only the features of the software, but also whether their migration support matches your needs.
