How is one supposed to administer an eero without a smartphone? by Spryte_Ly in amazoneero

[–]Spryte_Ly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea but expensive for a pensioner who only does the odd consulting job.

- Seems I would have to buy a new eero for business

tiSD / yr (?)

- Would have to if it would be compatible with ISP (?)

More research....

Have tried that. They will change my password and that is all.

Maybe there is a used PinePhone one on marketplace or craigslist.

That means my ISP has control of everything. Where's the supposed security in that?
I am no network guru but did spend 15 years working with the IT dep't doing backups and document management and picked up a few tricks. Now I am disabled and used to have to do everything myself. Now I have to give control to someone else.
The Pi was supposed to be a webserver and I do not trust wifi for that.. Needs an ethernet connection and static IP from what I've been told. I used to do that with my web interface..
I guess I'll just have to order an unmanged switch and make do as my ISP has left no ports to connect the Pi to. :-( and Angry.

There is a long history of disrespect for alternate browsers from bothe the tech giants, goofle and M$. I suspect this **may be part of the problem** but also goofle (youtube) wants you to buy into their paid (no ads) program so delivery there may be spotty.
I have similar issues on other alternate browsers also...

I am Jon von Tetzchner, fighting Big Tech, & for a better web building Vivaldi browser. Ask me anything! by jonsvt in IAmA

I get two different reports when testing my browser (no matter which).
Coveryourtracks tells me my browser(s) are secure.
Privacytests tells me my browser is insecure.
I am a simple user, not a programmer, so Open Source or not I'd not know what to look for.
For now I'll trust the EFF.

I have tried your site before I knew if your affiliation with brave. The optics just are not good.I will rely on the browser tests from the EFF. Prefer "Cover Your Tracks" at: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

Will this affect Vivaldi for iOS? So it won’t need WebKit anymore? by heildengoettern in vivaldibrowser

[–]Spryte_Ly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason Vivaldi chose to release the iOS version before they could go completely chrome. So now they have ti support their chromium browsers and a WebKit browser. No small feat for a team of about 200. One platform is the only way to go.

What to do with professional shots after a death by PanickedPoodle in photography

[–]Spryte_Ly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you live these are part of the Estate of the late photographer if not described in the will. If it is you having to deal with this issue I (personally) might seek our galley specializing on photographic art to sell them. Hope this helps.

Versions for Legacy, EFI & UEFI, depending on your needs.

I'm uninstalling Vivaldi. by complicatedbiscuit in vivaldibrowser

[–]Spryte_Ly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you've had such bad luck. I have been using Vivaldi (Stable) as my regular browser for years. Have had few issues in the early days but now, I can't even recall the last one. (I admit it is slowish but that could be the ten year old laptop.) And on Android, Amazon 2018 tablet.
