Dan Uff January 31, 2021 0

If you use iCloud, then you know how important it is to keep your information safe from hackers and just morons with nothing better to do than try and break into someone else's account.

Apple makes it easy to do this via the web. Here's how.

Go to http://appleid.apple.com/
Login with your iCloud ID and password.
Scroll down until you see the Password option.
Click on it to change your password.
The web site will ask you a series of questions to ensure it is YOU changing the password.
That's it.

Changing your password every 6 months or earlier is a very good way to make sure nobody other than you has access to your stuff.

Now that we're at home more due to the Pandemic, you're probably in the market for a good and inexpensive webcam.

I was looking around for one for my new Mac, and came across this one for just under $60.00 from Amazon.com.

The Nexigo is a small but mighty web cam, ready to go to work on day 1. Here are the specs (according to Amazon.com):

【HD Webcam 1080p Autofocus】 The NexiGo PC External Webcam with a 2-megapixel CMOS features up to a 1080p resolution at 30fps. With a 7cm starting point and a nearly infinite range, the autofocus feature is able to ensure your videos are always sharp and crystal clear. Auto Focus can also be turned off in Windows/Mac App to set the camera to any focal distance as you like. The other fixed focus camera gives you blurry images if you are not within the range of camera pre-set focal distance.
【Webcam with Privacy Cover】 The privacy cover for the NexiGo PC Webcam covers the lens when it is not in use. It's perfect to help provide security, and peace of mind to anyone, from individuals to large companies. It also helps to protect the lens from dirt and debris to ensure your video remains clear for the life of the camera.
【Webcam with Microphone】 Great for webinars, video conferencing, live streaming, etc. The built-in Noise-canceling microphone reduces ambient noise to enhance the sound quality of your video. Even in noisy surroundings you can capture the sounds you want. Great for Zoom / Facetime / Video Calling / OBS / Twitch / Facebook/ YouTube/ Xbox one/ Conferencing / Gaming / Streaming / Recording / Online School.
【USB Webcam Plug and Play】 Works with USB 2.0, NO additional drivers required. Ready to use in less than 1 min with any compatible device. The convenient foldable design allows you to easily take it anywhere, and the 6.5 Inch (2 Meter) USB cord is long enough for any task. The mounting clip can be flexibly placed on any desktop / monitor/ laptop / Chromebook / PC / smart TV / tripod.
【Widely Compatible & Multi Application】The NexiGo webcam is compatible with Multiple Operating Systems. The webcam can be compatible with the current popular video/meeting softwares. Compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10, Mac OS 10.6, Linux 2.6.24, Chrome OS 29.0.1547, Ubuntu Version 10.04 or above, and more.

Setup is a snap for Macs. Just plug it into an available USB port, and you're ready to use popular web cam apps such as FaceTime, Skype, Zoom and more.
