My old AirPods v2 are well past their best. The left one barely holds a charge, the right is a bit better... but neither is great. Since I use my Sony WH-1004MX a lot it wasn't really bothering me. When Apple announced the new generation with ANC th...
In November I was contacted by the Municipal Library in Cheb asking whether I could introduce their readers to the hazards of the internet. Cheb is far away, but the journey is pretty manageable — you can work on the train — so I accepted and started thinking about the content...
A while back I was approached through Czechitas by Gordic, the company behind the Kybez podcast, asking if I'd be a guest.
Since at the time I was employed at DBG I asked my manager for approval. That didn't come through. After changing jobs and another trip to Prague we finally made it h...

After an article about the background to the Huawei pressure campaign from the winter of 2018 was published, I decided to share it via a Story on my Instagram. Shortly after I got a black mark. 
The Story was removed for violating the terms — specifically cybersecurit...
It's been over 12 years since I switched from a personal to a corporate plan — back then I didn't need data, and unlimited SMS and calls were enough. Over time data became a necessity, but corporate plans have absurd pricing. 300 CZK for 1.5 GB of data, while abroad you can get un...
An account verified to the high assurance level gives access to all electronic public administration services, including those requiring the strongest security (e.g., opening and managing an asset account for government bonds). With a high assurance level you can also obtain a...
New job, new Windows. Windows 11. It's different. A sort of mix between macOS and Windows. Except it doesn't quite work the way you're used to from macOS. From a user experience standpoint it's fairly pleasant. Things don't pop up at you constantly, it doesn't interrupt you. It's...
