A few days ago Proton announced the release of their own Authenticator. I was delighted, because Microsoft Authenticator is a headache in certain ways — mainly when it comes to backups and potential migrations. So I didn't waste any time: installed it, enabled s...
Because I commute to work by train (S6) I take advantage of the fact that it's part of the integrated transport system. All the stops I use are in zones 100+101. So a šalinkarta is enough for me. On the train, however, unlike with the city transport operator (DPMB), you can't v...
I've been with Nikon for about 20 years. I started with a D50 and the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens plus a 50mm prime. Not long after came a Tamron 70-300 f/5.6-6.3. Then an upgrade to a D80. A new kit lens 18-135 f/3.5-5.6, then an 85 f/1.8 to go with the 50 f/1.8 I already had. And...
On Tuesday morning I woke up to a notification from Filip Horký about an attack on our soldiers... a few moments later the message was denied — the Prime Minister's account had been hacked. Not just his — the Spolu coalition account as well. How the vxunderground...
I was reading an article about ad blockers and the author mentioned running AdGuard on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2. That caught my attention — why have an RPi 4B when I could just use a Pi Zero? And it could even run on PoE! Since the Dream Router supports PoE on two ports, the choice was ob...
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...
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...
