  • How to keep your iPhone from repeatedly dropping Wi-Fi network connections

    That’s the problem with “walled gardens”: you’re at the mercy at vendor.
    Things that could be easy fixes require brute force approaches like nuking all settings or worse reinstalling the entire OS and all apps.
    Do you have the source code for Windows 10 to fix similar problems on it? Or do you have the knowledge to debug Linux or Android code and TCPIP networking and recompile to fix the root of the same sort of troubles like a vendor can?

  • Review: 802.11ac Synology RT2600ac router is the best AirPort replacement we've found yet

    The Synology RT2600ac is one of the most flexible routers we've seen. It isn't always the easiest to configure for some strange edge case uses, but nearly every option seems to be present. We used the IPTV settings Synology provides to configure the WAN port on VLAN 2 with medium priority for Quality of Service (QoS), and were able to replace the network box modem our Internet service provider requires. We were able to connect the router directly to the fiber jack, something other routers haven't been able to do without another device in the middle.
    I'm at a loss as how you connected this directly to the fiber jack. Synology's web page doesn't list a fiber connection on the features or specs, and none of the pictures you supplied show a fiber connection. Can you explain further?

  • Netflix kills in-app subscription option for iPhone & iPad users

    Other critics have suggested that it's unfair for Apple to claim revenue from content it doesn't produce or host.
    Just like credit card companies?

  • Crime blotter: AirDrop Cyberflashing rises, iPad theft leads to high-speed chase, and Appl...

    The way the Gazette article is written makes it sound like the DJ had his only copy on the Mac of "around six years worth of original music he had produced. The music I created is priceless to me," he said. "I am in a bad position at the moment because all of my music collection which I use to DJ was also on that laptop."

    If your livelihood depends on digital data then make sure you have a backup. Or multiple backups in diverse locations. If you value your data then BACKUP YOUR STUFF PEOPLE! It is so much cheaper/easier to back it up than recover it -- if it can be recovered at all.

  • YouTuber admits aspects of viral HomePod glitter bomb video were faked


    I hope this doesn't just taint the entire effort as 'fake,'" writes Rober in text placed underneath the video.

    Rober ends the statement by apologizing for "putting something up on my channel that was misleading," adding he will be taking "all necessary steps to make sure it won't happen again."

    Yeah, it does taint the entire thing. Credibility is now zero. And you lied to us once. How do we know you aren't lying again?
