I bought a Xiaomi Mi A1 smart phone because it has Android One which means that google will push security updates and new operating system updates as well as new operating system versions to the phone for an extended period. The new Phone looks a lot like other smart phones - they are all...

Will your aluminium hat protect you from the aliens? I am assured that aluminium helps with government spies too.

I made a bot for IRC some time ago. It's running on four networks right now. The adventure is that it has traded host PC from a Linux netbook to a Windows 10 Mini PC and now, for a little while, laptop Ultrabook. The little 'critter' is seeing the whole world of portable low-power consumption...

I bought a second phone for two reasons to get a new version of android to have a backup in case of damage or loss but there was an unexpected benefit in having one phone without a sim card in it - I can use it for facebook messenger, skype, and even sms by means of "mightytext". Isn't that...

It is hard to find ad-free bible apps on android. I found one Catholic bible app and the usual KJV apps but nearly all of them have ads and/or in-app-purchasing. It is a pity, when I chat face-to-face with Jehovah's witnesses and other people who are interested in discussing the gospel it is...

There are four continents AfroEurAsia America Antarctica Australia

There are some nice to watch videos on youtube about wildlife in Europe

I buy cheap android phones instead of "flagship" phones because it's really only a phone. It isn't a computer. It doesn't replace my desktop or laptop. It does sms and makes/receives phone calls and I use it for weather checking sometimes and as a flashlight sometimes and as a camera...

I am getting old I think. I watch some of the sub-30 years old people on youtube drooling over the latest graphics card and having an almost orgasmic ecstasy about the latest tally of cuda cores (or the AMD equivalent) and I wonder why do I need a billion cuda cores. I have more than enough...

My plumbing is being badly behaved. There's a blockage somewhere in the drains so things are not going as well as they ought and I will need to get a plumber out to fix the blockage. But with all of clever household devices and "internet of things" things I want to know where my self unblocking...

A friend of mine bought a SSD to revive his elderly ACER 15.6" laptop. It had a 320 GB HDD until yesterday now it has a 500 GB SSD. It used to take 3 or 4 minutes to boot from power off now it takes less than 45 seconds to boot from power off to him having his chrome browser open and loading a...
