  • Microsoft’s Build conference is one big giant snoozefest of hearing them going on and on and on and on and on about AI – am I the only one who just doesn’t give a flying continental about AI? Dear Microsoft, your File Explorer can’t even handle long path names, Windows 11 is falling to pieces,…

  • I went into Wellington to pick up a U7 Pro Max and UXG Max then ordered a Cloud Key from GoWifi which will hopefully arrive in the next couple of days. I’ve got it all setup using the UniFi cloud instance (3 day trial) but once I receive the Cloud Key then I’ll cancel the…

  • Final day of work on Sunday for the week, on Saturday I went for a walk but I got caught in a downpour around 3/4 way through the walk so by the time I came home I was pretty much drenched resulting in my running shoes being wet. Tonight I went for a short walk…

  • uBlock Origin Lite now has an official beta available through Apple’s testflight service (link), both macOS and iOS are being targeted – it’ll be interesting to see whether the short comings in Safari will be addressed because ultimately the effectiveness will be very much dependent on Apple getting Safari issues addressed (link).

Safari 18.5 release doesn’t include a lot of new features like the previous but there are a few bugs that have been fixed up and…

  • I like to keep up to date to see what is happening with AdGuard and whether a particular issue has been fixed – the one I’ve wrote about has been the issue of AdGuard and websites that use Cloudflare verification. I’ve download and installed the latest version (Version 5.1.81) and everything is now working as…

  • Well, I’ve got Chrome installed with the latest version of uBlock Origin Lite – it appears to the shock of almost no one that Chrome developers are adding functionality that extension developers need while over in the land of Safari there appears to be a reluctance to close that functionality gap not only when it…

  • First day of my weekend – walked down to my local Dutch bakery and cafe to order an eggs bene and a bowl of caffè mocha for a late brunch (well, technically it was around 3pm between lunch and dinner) – enjoying the good weather after having a week of wild rain and wind. I…
