Been building a WordPress site for a friend and trying to learn Gutenberg. Yes, Gutenberg should be simple but I have been using WordPress for years and mainly use Elementor. Well, for the site before this, I tried working with Elementor on WordPress 6+ and they do not want you to use another site builder anymore. No matter what I did they kept interfering with each other. So I decided this time I’m not gonna break my head and just do the current happy path in WordPress and use Gutenberg. C
Apparently Dell 16 inch laptops have a problem that the trackpad jumps all over the place even when new. After doing some research its a hardware issue, its due to the trackpad not being correctly grounded. The fix as shown in this Youtube video works perfectly. My friend did it for me in a matter of minutes and its all fixed. This is day 8 of #100DaysToOffload
Life’s been really hard lately both personally and work-wise. I haven’t had much drive to do much or post here, to be honest. On a more positive note, I did play through Bioshock Infinite again. BI has a special place in my heart. It was the first FPS game I ever bought on my first ever laptop that I bought. My first laptop was a 17-inch Toshiba with an AMD A8. It was prob running at 30 fps at 720p low but that game blew me away then and still does now. Playing now on a modern system t
Updated Techreccs for Android and Windows. Need to still do the other sections. Either way archived a bunch of stuff and added a few things. All the links and explanations are under each section on the actual page (Windows, Android, and Archive) Here is the quick list again without the links or explanations Removed * Activity watch-using Timecamp for sync * Kdenlive – Use Davinci Resolve * Feedly – Using Freshrss * Fluid NG – use buttons * Memoria – Using stock gallery
A friend of ours modem/router was reset so I went over to try to troubleshoot it and set it back up. I brought my new Dell Inspiron 16 Inch 2 in 1. It doesn’t have an ethernet port so it was annoying to try to do anything network related. Lesson learned busy re-setting up my ThinkPad X230 as I am starting to do some more IT work again. Why modern laptops especially a 16 inch don’t include ports is beyond me. The laptop also has a grounding issue causing the trackpad to jump but that’s
“We finally got internet. It took about six weeks from the initial point of contact with the ISP (Bezeq) until we had an actual connection The technician they sent to us was an incompetent fool. The first time he came, there wasn’t a line properly run to the house. Fair enough, that’s the owner’s problem, and he swiftly took care of it. But the way the Bezeq “Tech” delivered the information was downright rude, borderline asshole behavior. We were then given another month of waiting tim
We have finally moved to our new place. Unfortunately, there is no fiber as previously mentioned, but currently, there is basically no internet at all. The ISP is coming Feb 11 hopefully but until then I am hot-spotting a 3g connection from my phone outside. So for now I’m hopping in and out of friends’ houses to use their internet. I moved my aygross.com site from an HTML export of a Brizy built site to a Carrd.co site. I left the card branding and just pointed my domain name to forwa
So while working on my pc I seemed to have shorted out my Mobo and GPU . I was planning on upgrading from my 3600XT to a 5700x . Since I blew everything up I didn’t end up going that route and had to buy a new Mobo and CPU . Ended up picking up a 12700k and MSI MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI-DDR4 board for $390 after shipping and taxes from BH Photo. Its been a nice upgrade. With it I have also moved to Windows 11 due to 12th gen scheduler stuff. Currently running stock on my Thermalright FS140. Still
A late welcome to 2024. This year I will be taking the 100 days to offload challenge. Basically the goal is to write 100 posts in 1 year. I found this concept through the “old Internet” which you can read about here. For that reason I am experimenting with having all the Tech Rambling posts on the main blog as opposed to a separate sections (menu item has been removed). I will still be labeling them as tech rambling so you can filter them out if you wish. Moving forward this blog will
I hated school. I still hate school. The more kids I talk to the more useless school seems. Here are some Youtube Channels that actually gave me life skills that I should have been taught in school or by adults in my life.I will not be including niche tech or photography related skills but rather life skills and philosophy. Yes I lean Libertarian and yes I am a Orthodox Jew. I probably scared half my readers off at this point, but I’m always open to comment and other opinions. Hope you
I am not sure how I originally stumbled upon Joel Chrono’s blog, but I am happy I did. Through his website I have found a whole sphere of small blogs like this one. From this page on his site I found the concept of a blogroll which is basicly just organic links to other small blogs that is recommended by that sites admin. I felt like I was going on a deep dive through original user content, like the old days of the Internet going link to link not hindered by seo spam . I stumbled upon the
So after my Samsung a52s randomly bootlooped into oblivion I purchased a Poco f5. This modder’s guide will probably get way fewer updates than previous guides as I am way more busy. Thus it will be focused on stability above all else. The modders guide follows my journey so if you just want the latest start at the bottom and work your way up. Poco F5 Day 9 – Unlock Issues Initially, I tried bootloader unlocking the typical way. But MIui seemed to have trouble with my SIM car
Here is a completely unscientific benchmark of my current storage drives. A la LTT, watch GamersNexus calling them out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc&t=1s . I use a Ramdisk for Lightroom. *should say DDR4 but I am LTT
Make sure to use a VPN on public Wi-Fi. Even though most sites have HTTPS, which prevents most attacks, a few are still possible. The two most common would be: Man in the Middle – which, contrary to popular belief, is not completely prevented by HTTPS. Session hijacking – which is basically stealing your cookies. I have had multiple friends already who have fallen specifically to session hijacking. Session hijacking is an especially scary attack as it is not prevented by using two-facto
When we upgraded to fiber internet, I was excited to have lightning-fast upload speeds. However, I soon discovered that Backblaze, my online backup provider, was not taking full advantage of my new upload speed. After doing some research, I found that the location of my Backblaze server was in the US West data center. As a result, my uploads were restricted by the distance between my location and the server. To check your current data center go to your account settings and in little te

I am beyond enraged. I had a different issue causing me to revert to one of my older Windows images. Everything was working fine until I realized I couldn’t see my SMB shares, which I use as a NAS. After messing around for hours with firewalls, NetBIOS, among other things, to no avail, I stumbled upon an article talking about an invisible LAN on NordVPN. Well, what do you know, even though it wasn’t running, it had this setting enabled, and it was blocking my SMB share. So if you w
