If you are looking for a good solution for emails and file storage for your business, independently how big or how small it is, the Microsoft 365 (was Office 365) is the best solution on the market. If you are not a big company, probably you don’t want to burden to many costs, the Microsoft 365 Business Basic (formerly Office 365 Essentials) is something that you shall look forward.
Even if your business is trying to migrate from on-premises Windows Server into the cloud, in most cases, you can achieve what you need for just £4.90 per month per user. The money well spent. Let me show you why.
Recently while playing Call of Duty Mobile, I would occasionally experience a sudden slowdown in the form of increased ping, which would make the game temporarily unplayable.
Recently I found myself in an interesting situation at work.
I have been sitting comfortably on my office chair, slightly distanced from my desk, empty-looking on the computer screen that doesn’t display anything apart of my desktop with icons.
A bright observer from the “outside” can say that I am not doing anything, wasting time or even pretending I’m working. In reality, I got a brainstorm and debate with myself on how to do this and that.
This is how sometimes a job of Quality Manager looks like.
Unlike iOS devices where we install (and update) all applications from the App Store, when it comes to macOS, the situation is a bit more complicated.
Recently I decided to add a USB connected printer to my OpenWrt router.
While I normally use a wireless solution with built-in AirPrint (so I can print directly from my iPhone/iPad), sharing a USB printer on a network involves purchasing a print server.
Unfortunately, currently available print servers lack support for, for example, AirPrint, i.e. the ability to print wirelessly from Apple devices such as iPhone or iPad.
If I find one that has AirPrint, it is either very expensive or the manufacturer has discontinued its further development, which is a pity.
So I decided to use my OpenWrt router. Since it has two USB ports, one of which, USB 2.0, which I happen to have free, is perfect for connecting a printer.
In fact, I cared most about AirPrint, and you can read about what came out of it below.
It happened! Google calculated that the business it got into with Google Photos, while it has irreversibly changed the way we store photos, is very expensive for itself.
Disk space (storage) and its maintenance cost a lot, and not a little. The energy necessary to ensure the continuity of its services plays an even greater role, especially in the era of caring for the climate.
Someone at Google did not consider the fact that people like what is free, especially when you can’t see the difference. And we are talking about photos and videos stored by us on Google Photos in compressed form, but without losing visual quality, and at the same time without them taking up disk space available as part of the service.
And so after over 4 trillion (4,000,000,000,000) photos uploaded by users to Google Photos, and as large companies began to look at the money they were generating from their operations during the pandemic, it was time for Google to start thinking like a profit-oriented company.
On one hand, someone had a great plan, to offer something that would revolutionize the market. On the other hand, someone had an even better plan!
Did anyone know that after a few years (over 5) of using Google Photos, it would be increasingly difficult for anyone to move from it to another solution, if such a thing exists?
As a person who likes technical innovations, I like to play with the latest equipment. When it comes to Apple equipment, if changing the device to a newer one right after its release is not part of our work, a typical upgrade is usually expensive and not always profitable.
Having owned an iPhone 6 a few years ago, I was in no rush to upgrade until the iPhone X came out, which I had for two years. When the iPhone 11 Pro was released, I moved towards purchasing the iPhone XS (yes, one generation back). As the item (an exception to the rule) turned out to be inconsistent with the description, I had to return it, and in order not to be left without a phone, I decided to buy the iPhone 11 Pro 256GB.
As Apple offers 0% installments, the total amount was £49.99 per month with the first payment of £20 and the last payment of £29.23. It’s not some kind of deal, but I don’t overpay at all, as is the case with operators in the UK (especially for individual customers).
I have been looking at Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Programme1 for a long time. For a fixed monthly fee, you get a new phone, which you can replace with a newer one after a year (without having to pay the remaining “installments”). Apple Care is included in the total, which additionally encourages you to think: is it worth it?
Recently I had the opportunity to transfer data from one computer to another. Since the first one was already running Windows 10 in the latest version and everything worked perfectly (only the hardware was a bit lagging behind), I decided to clone the disk from the first one to the second one.
Using dd as a method (a little slow but effective) I ran the same system on the new hardware, with one difference. The target hardware was licensed with Windows 10 Pro compared to the old hardware with Windows 10 Home.
Therefore, I decided to do an upgrade.
