This time, for video #151, I’m gonna do something a bit different.
A few weeks ago, I decided to propose to my girlfriend.
Naturally, I had to include tech in my proposal because, um, I’m a nerd.
Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out what happened…
As if all the controversy about 5G and health isn’t bad enough, now there’s a new saga: 5G vs Airplanes!
Specifically, mid-band 5G vs radar altimeters.
So, what’s the deal?
It turns out it’s utter insanity…
But then, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised!
JavaScript is THE super-helpful programming language that makes the whole internet go.
From Google Docs to online mapping, JavaScript makes it all possible.
Despite its popularity, many concepts in JavaScript programming are rarely explained in a simple, down-to-earth way.
For example: the self-executing function.
What in the Sam Hill is that all about?!
Who doesn’t love a shiny, clean screen?
Smudges and fingerprints are just seriously annoying.
But what’s the best way to clean the screen on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or TV?
Well, there’s one thing you do NOT want to do – as I discovered in a moment of temporary insanity.
The rest depends on a variety of factors…
If you’ve read my earlier article, Will Windows 11 run on your PC? November 2021 Update, you probably decided you don’t want Windows 11 after all.
Well, I just upgraded my main puter to a new 12th gen Intel Core i5-12600K processor… And I REALLY needed to do a clean install. It’s been awhile.
So, I decided to take The Windows 11 Plunge!
Surprisingly enough, if it runs on your machine, Win 11 is not bad. It’s really not that great, either.
Let’s say you decide to take the plunge and install Windows 11 on your puter.
You get everything set up, create a bootable USB stick of Windows 11, and fire away…
And then you discover that your SSD is missing! The Win 11 installer can’t see it, and your BIOS can’t see the drive, either!
What gives??
Raw materials, parts, even cardboard – everything’s in short supply these days!
So, what do you do when your alternator is dying and you can’t even find a new one?
Why, you repair it yourself!
While it may seem like this is way beyond your ability, it turns out it’s not so difficult.
With a few tips and a bit of patience and persistence, you can DIY your alternator back into like-new working condition!
If you’ve ever designed a web site, you know that the ‘dev tools’ built into browsers are invaluable.
You can play with the CSS, debug JavaScript, see requests in realtime, and so on.
That’s all great for desktop, but what about debugging on mobile?
Typically, developers jump through all sorts of hoops – including hacks in their code that are added strictly for development debugging.
Isn’t there a better way? Why yes, there is…
While everyone is paying the most attention to wireless tech like 5G, dirty electricity is often completely overlooked.
In short, all our wondrous gizmos generate noise that couples to the human body from the electrical wiring in our homes, schools, places of work, and so on.
What effects does this dirty electricity have? Well, it ain’t pretty.
Fortunately, there are simple filters you can get that reduce the dangers from this type of noise.
Join me for a look at DE – and get clean power!
Chrome 94 was recently released with a new feature: Idle Detection.
Specifically, there’s a new JavaScript API called IdleDetector. It reports two things to the JS code of the web page you’re viewing: keyboard/mouse activity, and if your screen is locked or not.
Much has been said about the diabolical nature of this new capability in Chrome…
Thing is, while we can be forgiven for doubting Google’s motives in adding this feature, it just so happens that Idle Detection is actually quite safe – and useful!
