  Here’s some last-minute 2024 advice to take into the new year with a smile, some wisdom, and maybe a laugh or two: 1. Unplug… But Not Too Much Yes, take that digital detox you’ve been meaning to. But don’t unplug your fridge. Frozen pizza can’t survive on vibes alone. 2. Security First, Convenience Second Strong passwords are your best friends. “123456” isn’t a password; it’s an open invitation. (And no, adding an exclamation mark doesn’t help.) 3. Declutter… Digitally Too That inbox with 5,642 unread emails isn’t impressing anyone. Hit “unsubscribe” like it’s an Olympic sport. 4. AI is a Tool, Not a Takeover AI might write fun blog posts, but it can’t fold your laundry… yet. Stay curious, but keep the human touch alive. 5. Health is Wealth (Especially for Your Devices) Restart your phone once in a while. It needs a break, too. And give your computer a dusting – it’s not supposed to double as an air purifier. 6. Read the Fine Print (Seriously) Whether it’s terms of service or a “...

 T-Mobile Safeguards Customer Data with Robust Security Measures T-Mobile recently experienced cyber-attack attempts linked to a Chinese hacking group known as Salt Typhoon.
