    I think one of the best voices in this regard is a man named Dave Cullen out of Ireland. His YouTube channel, Computing Forever, has always been spot on in regard to the plandemic …

    Let your wife be your wife. You be you. Kids are naturally curious, especially boys. I have both. My daughter is bright and a straight A student, but she and her friends lack the a…

    Yes, mine is turned off. Look at some European countries now. England has QR codes at the entrances to all public spaces. Download and install the app or provide your details that …

    Thank you for your comments. I agree with you that this can be taken to the nth degree and it benefits no one. I guess I could say that I do my best to avoid "grey" areas if at all…

    Thank you for your comment, but please clarify how a moral person can see "degrees" of evil and allow themselves to make money with a conscience, knowing full well they are not bei…

    I would have to submit that family's situation is rare. My dad did what he could to help me, bought me computers, subscriptions to Creative Computing magazine (I'm dating myself he…

    I appreciate your comment, but let's be honest, good and evil are binary like night and day. I don't cotton to the idea that one's morals can be suspended in "twilight". There are …

    Thank you for your comments. I'm not sure how to take the "lack imagination" bit, but I'll accept it. I've automated what I'm allowed to automate, which is all user, group, file sh…

    I'm going to come across here as an odd outlier, and that's OK. I accept it. Being in IT for 20 years has shown me that none of these companies can be trusted. Since I have to have…

    There is very little latency, actually. If it just for you and/or your family, there is zero appreciable difference.

    This begs several questions: 1. If they're worried about gaseous emissions from cattle, isn't this worse? 2. What will authorities do to keep their numbers in check? Hunting? State…

    Which Language to Learn?

    Question, please. I have an interest in learning a new language (or two). I've been in IT for 20 years as a sysadmin. I work with Linux, Windows, and Mac platforms daily. I'm fluen…

    For the moment, running a Pi-hole in the cloud and pointing your mobile devices to it works. As you say, how long? When the adholes start doing ads as part of the content, this may…

    Pi-hole. Works like a charm. Also does the same for every device in your house. Moreover, if you don't mind spending an additional $5 a month, set up your Pi-hole in a Digital Ocea…

    I do digital signage as part of my job. We use Samsung TVs. They do work better, but they do run hotter. Much hotter. We use Yodeck Raspberry Pi players (4K) using HDMI, Ethernet. …
