WFH: Working From Home

What does WFH mean to you? To Companies? To Clients?

In the current COVID-19 climate, millions of people are Working From Home (WFH) and trying to figure out best how to do this.

For the past 2 weeks, as I also had to navigate this, I’ve realized that it is very important to have the simple to use tech tools like Zoom, Slack and such for our social distancing reality.

I’ve also been washing my hands nonstop and wiping everything down in my house and home office area like a mad man. So here are some tips I got from surfing various websites that you can use for your home computer system, be it Apple or PC Computer:

  • Use only a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, or similar items.

  • Avoid excessive wiping, which might cause damage.

  • Unplug all external power sources, devices, and cables.

  • Keep liquids away from the product, unless otherwise noted for specific products.

  • Don't get moisture into any openings.

  • Don't use aerosol sprays, bleaches, or abrasives.

  • Don't spray cleaners directly onto the item.

Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your product in any cleaning agents. Do not use on fabric or leather surfaces.

I also wanted to share with you about Securely remote accessing from your home computer to a more powerful offsite computer via HP Remote Graphics Software that our good friend Jean-Marc Laurin tested from his home in Montreal, Canada to our HP Workstation in Los Angeles, California. See the Video link below and if you leave a comment tell him I said hi.

Also what is Zoombombing? I didn’t know that is when someone you don’t know photobombs your Zoom Video Conference. You don’t want this happening to you during your important client conference, so definitely check out that article below.
