I am something of a self-confessed Anker hardware fan. I've been using their cables, power supplies and portable chargers for years now. However, I never really thought of Anker in the audio space, until now. Soundcore is an Anker brand with just audio products out there, as the name suggests. …

After reading a few reviews I decided to try [Vivaldi](https://vivaldi.com/download/) out. After importing my bookmarks and customizing my bookmark bar (just a little drag and drop) I was ready to go. Without trying any formal timing tests, my purely subjective impression is that things load faster. I don't have the …

Adding a file/folder comment capability to Windows This is something I wrote a few years ago in vb.Net and just recently ported to python/wxpython.

This is yet another thing that everyone just accepts, but nobody can tell me why this decision was made. Everyone is familiar with the Windows screen coordinate system where x and y values increase to the right, for x, and down, for y. What is not noticible until you start …

Do you guys have any examples of networking terminology that some people pronounce in different ways that completely throw you off? Similar to GIF vs JIF but networking related. For example, there are different ways people choose to pronounce GUI, OSI, and CCIX. Any other curious examples?

I recently built a logic probe adapting a circuit from an old magazine. One of the modifications I introduced is adding a polarity protection diode ([1N4007](https://pdf.chimicron.com/1N4007-T-704173.pdf)) in series with the positive power rail, because the probe is intended to be powered from the circuit under test and I want to …

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network to be formal, is a method of creating an encrypted data tunnel across the Internet from your device to a destination server.
