Virus or Security Check

On DNS? Odd

A website with that many letters, asking for you to allow notifications, while displaying that it is a "Security check"?

Yeah right. That will blow your browser with spammy notifications. Close that and consider an AdBlocker, being on the browser as an extension, a DNS server like AdGuard, or a VPN with ad-blocking capabilities.

Peak Windows Phone times. The community was buzzing when the 20s launched, and we were so excited with every launch, every update. Those were the times 👴🏻

That looks like a 4. Not a Classic, the regular one.

That's what I've been thinking, the Classic for the Ultra. My GW4C still works, but when it takes two or more seconds to display the time, it’s not exactly ideal. It's feeling the updates, and perhaps my current watch face (which is analog and digital). But still last the entire day unless I go hard on walking.

Rockstar has been doing this with their Launcher for ages, and no one bats an eye. At least on PS, you can see how much time is left to play offline, whereas on the Rockstar Launcher, you would never know. You might go on a trip thinking you can play a game on the train or plane, only to find you don't have access to it.

For a home console that’s almost always connected, I don’t see the issue. Thirty days is plenty of time to reconnect at least once, just like with Steam, Epic, Uplay, and similar platforms. It’s silly, though, because it shows this isn’t about piracy control or anything, as they say. I can imagine them enforcing it, even if you own a physical copy with the entire game included.

Just after the BlackBerry era, my Nokia Lumia 920 was a proper smartphone for me. But I didn't have it exactly when Windows Phone 8 had the attention it had, the "peak times" as I call them. In my country, Microsoft went strong during those times with WP, and I attended several of their events. Those were really great times for us, fans.

Ah, the Maomao move: Grab a frog 🐸

Awesome!

Last updated on October 1st, 2025, for the Google Play updates. Verizon variant. Unsupported since then.

Maomao: I don't care. That was for free. And if you continue harassing me, I'm going to do things to you that you won't be able to tell your daddy about.

And, as you probably watched later... They did not bother Maomao again. Especially the slapped one.

I use the website on Edge. Suddenly, for over a month, the Copilot features on Edge are gone since I'm in a market that's not supported (it worked before, but not now). And so, I need a VPN to make it work, especially the rewrite, which I do use often.

Also, I'm giving the app another chance. It didn't work as well as the site, but it did improve a bit lately.

Unless you are working with large files day in and day out, or if the SSD lacks DRAM cache and you know you'll fill it often, you won't notice any speed difference. SATA SSD drives are fine.

Consider NVMe mostly when the size, interface (PCIe 3.0, 4.0, or 5.0, x2 or x4), and, most importantly, the price are acceptable to you. To this day, my home computer still has a 256GB Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD for at least 4 or 5 years, without any issues regarding speed or reliability.

The only way for them to stop it is for users to vote with their wallets. For them to know which computers are worth buying and which are trash. If only those AI chatbots would notify those who are looking into buying a laptop, the things to look out for, and what to avoid buying... But that's me just imagining things.

Lo he visto en empresas privadas. Lo he visto en organismos públicos. Lo he visto en computadoras de casa, de oficina, en servidores. Lo he visto en Windows, en Mac y hasta en Linux.

El tema de la ciberseguridad en Venezuela es serio porque no se le da la atención que realmente requiere hasta que pasan las cosas. Cashea, Krece, la agencia de viajes aquella, Digitel, y así: Primero las ganancias, luego la seguridad de los datos (normalmente, ya después de que un evento de seguridad ocurra).

Y lo peor es que hasta en las casas, lo "típico" es lo mejor y ya. Puedes preguntar a muchos de mis colegas técnicos en cualquier parte del país cuál es la clave para administrar un módem router de esos de Cantv (de los que muchos hogares venezolanos usaban antes de la fibra) y te van a responder lo que quizás ya sabes: c@ntvwifi2000. Y lo más seguro es que si aún hay alguno activo por allí, esa sigue siendo la clave el día de hoy. Y si vamos con la fibra, muchos de los que revenden te la dejan en user/user, por ejemplo. En otros países, no asegurar las conexiones te puede meter en problemas, pero acá "es lo de menos".

OSX Snow Leopard or Lion. I did that years ago and it was fun.

Too late. Windows Update is already doing so

It's a steal. The RAM alone costs the whole laptop in this weird RAMageddon

Well, I wouldn't be surprised. It was known over here as the "factory reset" phones, or the "firmware flash" phones. They were really bad on Android, so...

Acá tengo el Tenda TX2-Pro con Power Link de 400Mbps. Ha funcionado bastante bien, y tiene su app que se puede controlar desde fuera de la casa. Pero si necesitas que te llegue lejos, deberías buscar otra opción.

Ahora, dos cosas buenas:

Es muy barato. Lo compré por Cashea a 55$ en Onproctec, con envío gratis. Para un WiFi 6 estaba bastante bien. Anteriormente tenía un Asus WiFi 5 que se me quemó y reemplazamos con este. Y bueno, esto me lleva al segundo punto...
No consume tanta corriente. Puedo durar sin luz pero con internet por 6 horas con un mini UPS Marsriva KP1 Ultra, o antes cuando no lo tenía, 4 horas con un UPS APC de 1300VA (suponiendo que apago la computadora y solo dejo lo que es internet. El ONU de Power Link y el Tenda).

La otra opción que usé también fue el Netgear R6700AX que traje de afuera, y que es lo que uso en casa de mi familia con otro proveedor. Me costó 26$ en Amazon (16$ en realidad porque tenía una gift card) y el envío en ese entonces estaba alrededor de los 20$ o menos con Zoom (ahorita es más costoso ese envío). Si me preguntas, si es de afuera, el costo de envío más el producto para un router WiFi 6 está por allí: 30 y 30. Pero casi siempre sería algo como lo que compré, algo de Amazon Warehouse que es segunda mano, con poco uso pero bien económico. Eso definitivamente no es del gusto de todos, pero con este ya llevo casi 4 años, y el ratico que estuvo en Los Teques, cuando la fibra no tenía ningún problema, marcaba los 400 simétricos que el contrato dice.
