I didn't know this and wasted 60 bucks on a new one :( ) Keep it clean as much as you can and can air the ports and under the keys regularly. (There's a lawsuit against apple so they'll replace if it happens, keep as it is and take it to the nearest Apple Store. ![]() Tape or put something supportive just below the magsafe thingy to avoid strain. What people won't tell you is protect your charger. The battery life on mac coming from windows is huge so you won't even notice if it's not plugged in. You don't need to drain it completely then charge it back up all the time(once a month maybe? I leave a movie on and sleep so mine drains that way). His was bought at the same time as I did but his battery life was around 40%ish compared to mine 85% and 300x charge cycle. Someone posted here who used to plug in all the time. Do not keep it plugged in when you can as it deteriorates battery life. The only reason I have on mine is so I won't affect other's computer when I am transferring files. ![]() If you are seriously concerned about privacy on the Internet then use NetShade proxy service for anonymous browsing with proxy chains and VPN capability If you are concerned about DNS spying, spoofing or man-in-the-middle attack use DNSCrypt Use FileVault2 to encrypt your data on your computer Use WPA2 encryption for Wi-Fi rather than WEP If you are concerned about privacy on the Internet use tracker blockers (AdBlock, Ghostery, Safari's Do Not Track option, Do Not Track Safari extension)ĭeactivate the Safari setting "Open safes files after downloading"Īctivate "warn me when visiting fraudulent websites" in Safari (Web of Trust provides a third party option as a Safari extension)ĭisable or remove Adobe Acrobat Reader (if installed)ĭisable Adobe Flash or use a Flash block plugin (Click to Flash) (if installed)Ĭhange the default SSID in your Wi-Fi settings IceFloor is arguably the best firewall for any operating system with "basic" and "advanced" "versions" via a software switch.

If you use your Mac in a public location (your worksite) ensure you lock your computer when stepping away from your computerĮnable "Find My Mac" on your Mac. Use long (minimum of 8 characters), complex (combinations of caps, numbers and special characters), unique passwords for each application or website (1Password for password management)ĭo not use an Administrator account as your default account Heuristic detection may identify new viruses or variants of existing viruses by behavioral profiling or looking for known malicious code, or executing the code in protected memory to discover executed processes since malware typically demonstrates specific behaviors which are atypical. Criminal elements are very aware of existing heuristic algorithms and design the latest exploits to avoid detection.Īll modern operating system offer such protection either by default or as an optional download. The best option, though, is to harden your system against malicious software.Įnsure you have your system set to automatically perform Software Updates However, signatures are not available for zero-day exploits. Signature-based detection involves searching for known patterns of data within executable code. Primarily two methods are employed to detect malware Signature-based detection and heuristic detection. The truth is that Anti-Virus programs mostly don't help because the sensitvity is very low. If the battery isn't going to be used for a long period of time, then roughly around a 30-50% charge is ideal for storage. Re calibrating this reading will just keep it more accurate, but this doesn't really do anything for battery health, and isn't necessary if the battery is used daily. Avoid leaving the computer in a car during the winter or summer, or similar conditions, for long periods of timeĪn occasional complete discharge (down to what the computer displays as 0%, when it shuts off) will keep the battery calibrated. Hot and cold temperatures can harm the battery (and sometimes electronics in general). Avoid frequent deep discharges when possible. So say you use 50% on average each day, then that should take about 5 and a half years.ĭeep discharges (using the batter down to 0-20ish%) stresses the battery and shortens it's lifespan. Apple's batteries are rated for up to 1000 charging cycles, after which I believe the battery should be at about 80% of its original capacity. Use it at least somewhat occasionally to avoid this. If it stays plugged in and at 100% all the time the battery will have issues prematurely. You'll generally keep your battery healthy if you do the following:
