Vin and Shem are the brains behind Genius on the Go. Genius on the Go provides technical support and training for Apple products. The best part is that they come to you. What felt like a missed opportunity for Apple turned into a successful venture!
Other brands have Geek Squad, but Genius on the Go sets itself apart by making the experience more personal. They learn the ins and outs of all the technology in your house, how you use it, and customize training and support based on your needs. By getting to know their clients, they can better make recommendations about efficiency and proper use of technology.
We asked them what advice they have for setting up a new device.
1. Pick one cloud system and stick with it. There are various cloud storage systems available, but it's important to do your research, find what works for you, and keep it up to date.
2. In addition to a cloud backup, also have a physical backup. Set up an external hard drive and make sure to update it regularly.
3. Once you're finished setting up your new device, make sure to take a look at your privacy settings. Our devices can track our every move, so make sure you are careful what information you give them access to.
4. Set up internet security. Although Apple products are less susceptible to viruses, it's still important to protect your tech from internet scams.
