2024-05-262024-05-28 Danie
Black plastic device that looks much like a USB stick. At one end there is a USB-A connector and on the other end is a USB-C connector. There is a QR code seen printed on the body.

Token2 is a cybersecurity company specialized in the area of multifactor authentication. Founded by a team of researchers from the University of Geneva with years of experience in the field of strong security and multifactor […]

2024-05-262024-05-26 Danie
A webpage showing various category names down the left-hand side. In the centre there is a list of5 articles with the heading All Personal Feeds. Each article has a bold text title with an associated excerpt paragraph from the article. To the left of the title and excerpt is a thumbnail image from each article.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good

2024-05-252024-05-25 Danie
Two Google Search pages side by side. The one on the left shows an AI Overview paragraph, and below that a summary of how to change a tire in 10 steps. The right side shows just some search results listed.

If you’re tired of Google’s AI Overview extracting all value from the web while also telling people to eat glue or run with scissors, you can turn it off—sort of. Google has been telling people […]

Jumblie is a challenging browser-based open-source puzzle game to guess the four words of the day

2024-05-242024-05-24 Danie
Browser page showing title Jumblie at the top left. In the centre are various letters of the alphabet which will be used to try to guess the words. Above the letters it says Today's Theme "moon". Top right is a help button with a timer running. Below the letters are three buttons labelled Shuffle, Deselect All, and Submit. Below the buttons is the title Incorrect guesses showing a total of 0 so far.

The game has a theme word for each day, so keep that in mind when guessing the words. It is more challenging than Wordle because there are no hints apart from the theme word. So, […]

Should you build your own NAS or buy a pre-built?

2024-05-232024-05-23 Danie
Rectangular black case with HDMI on the front lower right. In the centre at the front is a blue USB port. In the background are two NAS type devices which are blurred.

An interesting read, and I have to say I do lean more towards building your own. I did buy a bare-bones NAS by D-Link many years ago because you could add your own hard drives, […]

Background title Netris open-source alternative to GeForce NOW made just for you and your friends.

Apple needs to explain that bug that resurfaced deleted photos: Can we trust Apple’s PR?

2024-05-212024-05-21 Danie
Blurred background with a phone held up in the foreground by a hand. On the phone's screen is an open photo app, showing the view out of an office window high up in a building. The view shows numerous skyscrapers in the distance.

It’s understandable that people freaked out last week when photos deleted years ago had suddenly reappeared in their iPhone photo library. While we wait to hear the reason, it does seem to appear that deleted […]

Victim proves how to easily steal someone’s FNB bank payment card details and buy a tank of petrol in South Africa

2024-05-202024-05-20 Danie
Close view of a petrol pump nozzle inside a car. It is a dark green car and the nozzle is green and black. A person's hands are seen holding a phone. The screen is slightly blurred but shows green and white and looks something like a messenger app.

This is actually not a very difficult hack, but what is really critical is to NEVER click on links that arrive by e-mail or SMS. Rather, note any reference/tracking number and go independently to the […]

2024-05-182024-05-18 Danie
A terminal screen showing carious alias commands listed in it such as alias c='clear' and alias now='date +%T'. Along the bottom are two lines showing varios shortcut keys for the editor such as ^G for Help, ^X for Exit, ^K for Cut, etc.

For those who don’t know, bash aliases allow you to create unique command shortcuts. So, a simple word can be used to run a more complex command which may have a lot of additional parameters, […]
