Privacy in recent years is something that everybody is talking about. Some companies undersell their own devices just to gain the information that they will harvest. The others say it aloud that they put privacy on the pedestal, and that includes their devices. This is Apple.
Even if you decided to move away from devices and companies that violate your rights and decided to buy an iPhone, remember, that in the whole of this the weakest link, the hole in a privacy matter is you!
Privacy is the key and it’s not only in our private life but also in business. If you using Gmail (Google Workplace) for your business, something called read receipt is an odd thing.
Many businesses however are using solutions from Microsoft called Microsoft 365 Business (in various plans).
Microsoft, in their subscription service, provides a lot of useful functionalities, but there are some functions, that are heading back to times when Microsoft Outlook started gaining popularity (Microsoft Office 97).
Through these functionalities there was one, requesting a receipt sent back to the sender when the recipient read an email.
It was all about immigration. It was all about controlling our borders.
bollocks, bollocks, bollocks…

On websites that I tend to create, I always try to utilise Structured Data (Schema) as much as possible. This invisible for ordinary visitor data is served in the background and is used by search engines and other websites for better positioning of your content.
On YummyRecipes.uk I have already widely implemented Schema for Recipes but would like to do some more.
If you read my other post, you will find out that I recently rediscovered Progressive Web Apps (PWA).
Following this lead, I decided to implement it on the websites, where our main audience browses it from mobile phones. Later I decided to implement it gradually on all of my websites, independently of whether the main audience is on mobile or desktop. As you will see, PWA is quite useful for desktop users as well.
If you are not a first time on my website you already know, that I like simplifying things and using a minimal approach with a complex solution. Overall, if something complex can be done that same, but simple, why not try?
This time I want to cover Favicon during website design.
“A favicon is a browser icon that represents a brand or website. Most often seen next to a web page’s title in browser tabs, favicons can also be found in address bars, bookmark lists, search results pages, toolbars, browser history, and other places across the web.”
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel, as there is already a perfect solution for that, well written and documented by Andrey Sitnik from Evil Martian.
Over the last years, I forget about something called Progressive Web Apps (PWA) until one day I added to my Home Screen a bookmark to Homebridge, and, believe me, or not, I do not add bookmarks that way very often.
When I added this bookmark to my Home Screen on iOS I noticed, that it looks unusual. The icon was like a native app. When I click on the icon it didn’t open inside Safari like other bookmarks but it run on full screen like a normal native app.
Of course, it was still Safari in the background but highly limited to the scope of that single website, that it feels like a native. It certainly can be confused with an app.
Not so far ago I wrote down about how my Apple Watch didn’t last as long as I expected.
I recalled my Apple Watch 4th generation that had been with me for two years before I changed to the newest model at the time. The S6 didn’t do that well.
Have you ever struggled to measure the true speed of your internet?
Each router is different, and additionally, WiFi wireless networks come in different standards, on different frequencies and offering different speeds depending on external factors.
If our computer has a card that only supports 2.4GHz at a speed of 54Mbps, we can have 100, 200 or more Mbps, and we will not go faster than 54Mbps.
Some 2.4GHz networks can even offer 300Mbps. In the case of 5GHz and speeds go up significantly. This does not mean that we are always able to achieve the offered speed.
If we have 3 devices that actively use the WiFi network, the network capacity, i.e. the maximum speeds we can achieve, is also divided by three.
Therefore, to properly measure the internet speed, you would need to connect directly, preferably by cable, to the router and be the only user for whom the entire bandwidth would be available.
If you have a router with OpenWrt software, you can measure the connection speed directly from the router, bypassing all users.
