“We finally got internet. It took about six weeks from the initial point of contact with the ISP (Bezeq) until we had an actual connection The technician they sent to us was an incompetent fool. The first time he came, there wasn’t a line properly run to the house. Fair enough, that’s the owner’s problem, and he swiftly took care of it. But the way the Bezeq “Tech” delivered the information was downright rude, borderline asshole behavior. We were then given another month of waiting tim
We have finally moved to our new place. Unfortunately, there is no fiber as previously mentioned, but currently, there is basically no internet at all. The ISP is coming Feb 11 hopefully but until then I am hot-spotting a 3g connection from my phone outside. So for now I’m hopping in and out of friends’ houses to use their internet. I moved my aygross.com site from an HTML export of a Brizy built site to a Carrd.co site. I left the card branding and just pointed my domain name to forwa
So while working on my pc I seemed to have shorted out my Mobo and GPU . I was planning on upgrading from my 3600XT to a 5700x . Since I blew everything up I didn’t end up going that route and had to buy a new Mobo and CPU . Ended up picking up a 12700k and MSI MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI-DDR4 board for $390 after shipping and taxes from BH Photo. Its been a nice upgrade. With it I have also moved to Windows 11 due to 12th gen scheduler stuff. Currently running stock on my Thermalright FS140. Still
A late welcome to 2024. This year I will be taking the 100 days to offload challenge. Basically the goal is to write 100 posts in 1 year. I found this concept through the “old Internet” which you can read about here. For that reason I am experimenting with having all the Tech Rambling posts on the main blog as opposed to a separate sections (menu item has been removed). I will still be labeling them as tech rambling so you can filter them out if you wish. Moving forward this blog will
I hated school. I still hate school. The more kids I talk to the more useless school seems. Here are some Youtube Channels that actually gave me life skills that I should have been taught in school or by adults in my life.I will not be including niche tech or photography related skills but rather life skills and philosophy. Yes I lean Libertarian and yes I am a Orthodox Jew. I probably scared half my readers off at this point, but I’m always open to comment and other opinions. Hope you
I am not sure how I originally stumbled upon Joel Chrono’s blog, but I am happy I did. Through his website I have found a whole sphere of small blogs like this one. From this page on his site I found the concept of a blogroll which is basicly just organic links to other small blogs that is recommended by that sites admin. I felt like I was going on a deep dive through original user content, like the old days of the Internet going link to link not hindered by seo spam . I stumbled upon the
So after my Samsung a52s randomly bootlooped into oblivion I purchased a Poco f5. This modder’s guide will probably get way fewer updates than previous guides as I am way more busy. Thus it will be focused on stability above all else. The modders guide follows my journey so if you just want the latest start at the bottom and work your way up. Poco F5 Day 9 – Unlock Issues Initially, I tried bootloader unlocking the typical way. But MIui seemed to have trouble with my SIM car
Here is a completely unscientific benchmark of my current storage drives. A la LTT, watch GamersNexus calling them out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc&t=1s . I use a Ramdisk for Lightroom. *should say DDR4 but I am LTT
Make sure to use a VPN on public Wi-Fi. Even though most sites have HTTPS, which prevents most attacks, a few are still possible. The two most common would be: Man in the Middle – which, contrary to popular belief, is not completely prevented by HTTPS. Session hijacking – which is basically stealing your cookies. I have had multiple friends already who have fallen specifically to session hijacking. Session hijacking is an especially scary attack as it is not prevented by using two-facto
When we upgraded to fiber internet, I was excited to have lightning-fast upload speeds. However, I soon discovered that Backblaze, my online backup provider, was not taking full advantage of my new upload speed. After doing some research, I found that the location of my Backblaze server was in the US West data center. As a result, my uploads were restricted by the distance between my location and the server. To check your current data center go to your account settings and in little te

I am beyond enraged. I had a different issue causing me to revert to one of my older Windows images. Everything was working fine until I realized I couldn’t see my SMB shares, which I use as a NAS. After messing around for hours with firewalls, NetBIOS, among other things, to no avail, I stumbled upon an article talking about an invisible LAN on NordVPN. Well, what do you know, even though it wasn’t running, it had this setting enabled, and it was blocking my SMB share. So if you w

The Android Share Menu is a complete disaster. 14 years of Android and Google still can’t fix this basic function of a smartphone. The menu is cluttered and confusing, making it a nightmare to find the right option. No, I don’t want to send a Facebook DM to someone I spoke to 4 years ago. I want to send it to my wife that I just sent 14 things to previously, she’s nowhere to be found. Customization? Forget about it. It’s a one-size-fits-all disaster. Google needs to take a hard look at this
As an IT professional, I have been recommending Chromebooks and iPads to practically everyone for years. In my experience, they are the perfect choice for most people. Recently, I purchased the Lenovo Chromebook Duet as a lighter weight replacement for my Thinkpad X230 (Don’t worry I still have a spare:). I will have a continuous guide posted soon, but I just wanted to write a short article on why I now recommend it more than ever. If you’re like most people, you probably use y

I have been using Anker Products and recommending them for years upon years. They made the best USB battery banks, cables, and wall chargers, but I no longer recommend them, and here is why. 2015 – The Beginning Our story starts in 2015 when I purchased my first power bank from a small, enthusiast-focused power bank company named Anker. I bought the Anker PowerCore+ 10050 which at the time was the pinnacle of USB battery packs. An all-metal frame, super high-quality batte
You read that correctly, here is a simple, high quality, relatively easy way to equalize (“tune”) all your headphones based on specific model data. What is AutoEQ? Well to quote the GitHub Repo “AutoEQ is a project for equalizing headphone frequency responses automatically, and it achieves this by parsing frequency response measurements and producing equalization settings that correct the headphone to a neutral sound. “ In English, this will tune your headphones to be as clos
