Thanks everyone!

For anyone who was watching the TikTok live stream yesterday - I got the Pironman 5 Max working! I just had to re-seat one of the power connectors.

SIEM testing - otherwise we wouldn't want to see this. 😂

This pains me to do - but it’s for a thumbnail!

So purrrty!!

Phishing attempt posing as OpenAI / ChatGPT.

“Installed the wireless bridge boss…” (from Reddit)

Excellent article about big telcos and the US gov still failing to thwart scam calling. All of the inconvenient hoops legitimate providers are forced to jump through are simply side-stepped with no consequences. commsrisk.com/scam-hunters...

Was recently quoted in this article regarding Starlink pricing. I've done a few videos on the declining price of Starlink hardware and service - it very much feels like they're increasingly desperate for customers and are trying to generate demand. www.reviews.org/internet-ser...

This is old news that I'm just seeing, but Royal Caribbean's reason for banning travel routers is complete BS. It's about not losing revenue from customers buying Wi-Fi while on the cruise. That's it. They want to squeeze every penny out of people while they're trapped on the boat.

I get comments like this often, but no one is able to tell me WHY Ubiquiti is 'not good.' We have helped thousands of customers with UniFi, and I know first hand that UI gear works great. Is it perfect? No. But it's solid. Also learn to spell Ubiquiti correctly before you criticize FFS.

Got to meet an actual celebrity yesterday at RSAC 2025…

Should I be using Edge?? I haven't given it a fair shake in years. www.techradar.com/computing/ed...

Hopping on the action figure trend...the LLM did a pretty good job I think!

trueCABLE did a nice write-up on our Cerro Gordo install! Super fun project... www.truecable.com/blogs/cable-...

Open Page is a brand new FREE advanced paging module for FreePBX / TangoPBX - so glad to see these modules rolling out! youtube.com/shorts/OY93u... #freepbx #tangopbx #voip

NEW! ClearlyIP just released the Open Page Module for TangoPBX / FreePBX / IncrediblePBX. And it's FREE! This module expands default paging capability with: - pre-page recordings - multicast paging groups - recurring scheduled pages - valet paging - and more! Check it out!

Just accidentally realized that OpenAI owns the domain 'chat.com' - it redirects to ChatGPT when you put that in the browser. Nice domain name! That must have cost them a pretty penny.

Oh wow! Logitech wants to work with me...from their HQ in the Czech Republic? Hmm...something seems off.

Wow - new Coinbase scam I haven't seen before - definitely don't fall for this one. Email came from '[email protected]' and the button also goes to an akamai URL.

New U7 Pro XG access points from UI! Sleek new design, better heat dissipation, and 10 gig networking...check 'em out! youtube.com/shorts/xyG3O...

I recorded this video on how to increase online privacy almost 2 years ago, and it's even more relevant today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7I_...

Gonna use this anytime the Ventoy fanatics come out of the woodwork to comment on videos.

UDR7 dropped this morning - check it out! youtu.be/6I58VoIyaUU

Holy crap - $1.5 billion worth of ETH stolen. www.techradar.com/pro/security...

Wow - this is a great read...48 minutes from the start of a hack to lateral movement within the network. The attackers barraged the employees with a flood of spam, and then posed as IT guys trying to fix it via Teams to gain access to company PC's. arstechnica.com/security/202...

I was quoted in a Cybernews article regarding TP-Link routers and their possible ban here in the US. While I don't personally have any reason to believe that TP-Link routers are sending anyone's data to China, if you DO believe it, there's no recourse other than to replace your router.

Doing some 10Gbps testing today with the brand new [REDACTED]! Hope everyone likes my [REDACTED] video coming out next week!

Drooling over this @corsair.com ONE PC - I'm building out a new studio, and I need something reliable and powerful enough for mutiple video feeds (recording and livestreaming mainly). What do you think? Is this a good choice? www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gami...

Oh boy - this phishing email ALMOST got me to click the button since I actually do use SiteGround. But look a bit closer, and it falls apart under inspection. The biggest clue that tipped me off was that they don't mention which of my domains is expiring.

Tails is awesome! It's an OS on a USB thumb drive designed to work on any PC without leaving a trace, and includes a full suite of tools for privacy, networking, encryption, and security. Here's how to install it! youtube.com/shorts/6qKWw...

Deepseek - BRUH. What the heck is this?? I guess I need more parameters before we get into classic comedy info.

USPS has Dungeons & Dragons stamps right now…

One of the things creators have to deal with is back seat driving. However, when someone complains about the way I did a video, and I ask them to do one themselves and send me the link...no one has ever done it. So strange. Maybe MichaelS8336 will be the first...

Can anyone translate?

I’m not too familiar with UGREEN, but this tiny little all-NVMe NAS looks pretty good! - Intel Core i5 - 8 GB DDR4 - 4xM.2 NVMe (32TB max capacity) - 10Gbps NIC - Wi-Fi 6 - 2xThunderbolt 4 $999 MSRP (plus drives) #ces2025

First look at the GL.iNet Slate 7 travel router. Touchscreen display with status and some on/off functionality for features like AdGuard and Tor, QR codes for connecting to Wi-Fi and more! Hardware is Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gbps LAN and WAN ports.

TP-Link router vaguely looks like a TIE fighter #ces2025

Nice triple monitor setup just in time for CES! Minisforum MDSA 156 monitor.

A Quick Look at the world’s smallest wireless router. What is this? A Router for Ants? MikroTik mAP Lite youtube.com/shorts/O6mSa...

$0.01 invoice from UPS - I wonder what the late fees are if I don't pay this??

OK - that's pretty impressive. ChatGPT immediately knew that "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" is an acronym for the OSI network model. I must not be the only one who uses that phrase to remember it.

Weird - the official Nintendo switch controller (right) charges at 1.5W vs the knockoff controller (left) at 0.5W

Proud to be selected as one of ClearlyIP's Impact Partners for 2024! ClearlyIP is a company that we stand behind, and we're super thankful for their support over the years! #CIPAwardWinner

Found it - it's $199, made for the Gen3 dish (not the Mini) and will be available after the 1st of the year.

Starlink Mini has an official backpack?? This shows up on the Mini product page, but doesn't appear to be in the store available for purchase.

If Bill and Ted attempted phishing “This looks like…suspicious to us dude…”
