Since I use Capture for more comfortable camera carrying, on one trip my Nikon strap kept getting tangled up everywhere. I looked at some options and settled on the Slide from Peak Design. I chose it so I could carry the camera the same way as a firearm — single-point. The ability to quickly...
I'd been thinking about a smartwatch for a long time. I wanted to know how fast I run, what my pace is. How many steps I take in a day... and I'd also like to know how far I've swum, and so on. So I searched until I found it: Garmin Instinct Tactical. Why those in particular?

I booked the first available slot. I arrived on time but there was already quite a queue — which moved quickly, though. Volunteers everywhere directing people on what to do and where to go. Filling in the declaration, having your temperature checked, finding your name on the list...
On the night of 25–26 May 2021 vaccination registration opened for my age group. Before that I checked the status of my earlier registration (when only the highest-risk groups could register, it had been possible to register by manipulating input parameters due to missing validat...

I updated to the latest version of macOS Big Sur (11.3). In previous versions I'd already had to tick a box to allow the Wacom tablet and pen to access the computer. But there's another update now and everything broke. The tablet buttons worked fine, the pen didn't at...
During a pandemic, running a cyber exercise is a huge challenge. Personal contact has to be replaced by chat and video calls. On top of that the team restructured and we introduced a SIEM. All of this would have been fairly straightforward without the pandemic. If yo...
I started a new job and the first thing I asked the IT department about was a password manager. Is there a recommended one, an approved one, can I use my personal one, what's the policy? I got an answer — we have an approved solut...
