I worked at ParaCENTRE FENIX — I'd like to think I have some idea of the challenges a person with limited mobility faces. A pram took that experience to a whole new level. You might think: so what, the pavement has a dropped kerb and everything's fine. Think again. A dropped kerb isn't...
A few days ago news circulated about the British government's request for access to iCloud. The aim is/was to gain access to everything stored in iCloud. This isn't the first attempt — Apple previously refused. What's happening now we don't know... but a new...
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...

My iPhone lost OS update support a while back... then in November I got a notification from 1Password saying that version 8.12 would be the last update for my version of iOS — decision made. Time for a new phone. I'll try the migration.
Given how Apple's release cycle...
As we were getting close to being discharged from the maternity hospital, it was time to sort out a breathing monitor for the newborn. Borrowing one from the hospital wasn't an option. After a quick look at the market I found that Jablotron offers the same pad one knows from hospit...
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...
