You finally upgrade your motherboard and processor, but you can’t boot.
In fact, you can’t even see your harddrive in the BIOS or the OS installer.
What the heck is going on?
Well, the explanation gets hairy… But thankfully, there are two solutions, and one of them is pretty simple!
Well, here we go again…
A few years ago, Google announced FLoC, which I talked about here.
In short:
Led by Google, a group of businesses and advertisers is pushing a new standard that would have your browser identifying your particular group of interests by a unique ID number.
This number will be sent to all sites you visit. VOILA! No more 3rd party cookies, and supposedly more privacy!
Fast forward three years, and Mozilla is jumping on the bandwagon with their own such technology.
So, how do you turn it off?
A company in Taiwan recently presented a developing WiFi tech that can be used to monitor your location, heart rate, breathing patterns, sleep cycles, and much more.
The company’s techie bossman, Doctor Tzi-cker Chiueh, claimed that, “Channel state in modern Wi-Fi is susceptible to minor environmental changes.” These tiny changes can be used with an algorithm he helped create that can do breathing rate estimation at 95 percent accuracy over 5 meters, and heart rate measurements at 83 accuracy at a 1 meter distance.
As it turns out, using WiFi sort of like radar is nothing new; it’s been around for a number of years now.
But there are two little details that nobody is mentioning which could make this “WiFi Sensing” much, much more common in the years to come…
In the olden days, you had this thing called a car battery. Lead, acid, you’re done.
Nowadays, there are so many different types of lead-acid batteries. Plus, everyone will give you different advice on which battery to choose.
Is it for a car with Start and Stop? Can you use a new-fangled battery in an old-fangled vehicle?
Which one lasts longest? Gives you the most energy? The best bang for you buck?
Read on for a simple guide to lead acid batteries!
There are hundreds and hundreds of studies showing that our wireless wonderland of EMF is not good for our health.
But you might ask: Well, HOW?
When we say “EMF”, we’re talking about many different types of electromagnetic waves, different frequencies, different power levels, and so on.
How could it possibly work?!
It turns out that the answer may very well be in our DNA!
You might think Ethernet is on its way out the door. After all, everyone just uses WiFi, right?
WRONG! For the past couple of years, my most popular video on YouTube has been:
No more WiFi: How to wire your house for Internet
Published in September of 2019, the video has garnered over 1.6 million views, and it’s still going strong.
Obviously, many people want Ethernet – contrary to popular belief. That’s good, because it’s only going to get better…
AI is all the rage.
But with the recent Gemini disaster along with a lack of truly killer applications using AI, it doesn’t seem like AI is really going anywhere.
So, is it all just hype, or what?
Join me for a look at the real danger presented by AI.
Hint: It ain’t SkyNet you need to be worried about!
Back in November of 2020, I wrote an article entitled Two-Factor Authentication without SMS or a smartphone.
In those days, 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) wasn’t terribly popular. Today, it’s everywhere!
I also recommended using Authy for Windows, which is a desktop version of the popular smartphone 2FA app.
So, problem solved, right? NO! Authy just announced they’re canceling their desktop Windows app. 🙁
What the heck are we supposed to do now?!
Technology is everywhere these days. Most of the time, it makes life easier.
But instant and constant access to so much information, such as the latest news and world events, can also lead to high stress levels, anxiety, and eventually poor health.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use technology to reduce your stress and anxiety instead of constantly increasing it?
Well guess what? You can!
Everything these days is powered by batteries: power tools, mowers, cars, etc.
But why does this even work?
A quick look at the power provided by lithium-based batteries should make even armchair techies cringe!
Something doesn’t add up… So, what’s the secret?
