Ubiquiti Networks (or Unifi) have made a ton of different network gateway devices over the years, from the Dream Machine to the Dream Wall, to the original UCG. These have all made full use of the Unifi Network Controller’s abilities. In the cases where you have no gateway device, the controller is great software, but […]
Iodd seems to be adept at making clones of other company’s products (see Zalman). This one may be a clone also, though it’s hard to know. The ST300 drive enclosure is something of a unique product. It’s an external drive, yes, but when you place CD image files in a folder named _ISO, you can internally mount up to four virtual drives and boot from them. This is great for installing operating systems as it’s the standard format for these. Today, I take a look.
There has been a ton of talk about the many changes of the (once) simple text editing tool in Windows called Notepad. A recent insider build of Windows 11 with version 11.2510.6.0 of Notepad features some very interesting new features to this venerable tool. For purists who like to only edit text, they hate this […]
I love this book. It’s so perfect for 2025. Cory Doctorow came up with the word, in 2022, to describe how all the digital services that increasingly dominated our daily lives seemed to be getting worse at the same time. I managed to read the book…

This is such a common occurrence that the demand for a great screen grab tool has led me to expect a great deal from whatever tool I use. Previously, I’ve […]
It’s not a regular occurrence for me to test an app these days. Things are far too chaotic and the time isn’t always there to try out things. Journelly itself is quite simple and easy; this is what appealed to me about it. All of the text-based features you expect are there including spell-check and whatever else you invoke from the keyboard interface. Yes, even the Apple A.I. stuff is available too…
I have a conversation that repeats every year and it goes like this: My friend “When are you getting the new iPhone xx?”Me: “Not this year. For sure I’m skipping it.”My Friend: “Uh huh” The thing is, there’s no lack of conviction when I say that. Recent years, however, I have been upgrading steadily through […]
TL;DR: I came across a new notes/text tool, it’s great and I’m genuinely surprised I hadn’t seen it before today. If you haven’t, take a look at it. So, this is crazy, I found something new and I love it. It’s a generally free text editor that supports the Markdown standard. This is no paid […]
I don’t often talk entertainment, but this show had me interested solely for its reaction. July 1st marked the final release of Ironheart, a Marvel TV show streamed on Disney+. One might call this show “beleaguered,” but wow, that would be an incredible understatement.
