You are a nerd, you know that?
Almost nobody from my close circle knows about the konami code.

I always loved Wes’ and Scott’s dedication to the...

In simple terms: How does a crypto wallet work, how does the blockchain work, and how can you be hacked?

Often I see phrases like “my funds were transferred to another wallet, but I don’t understand how since I had both pin and face ID authentication”. Let me explain briefly and in simple terms...

And it is incredible that in 2022 this thing still works. Like some scammers in Romania that teach you to...

New monitor in setup
This week I received the new portable monitor that I ordered last weekend. I mainly ordered it for when I am on the go and I really need the second display (because I have the 14″ Macbook, you know…. tiny). But since I got it, why let it get dust on it and not use...

What is a treasure that’s been lost?
This is entry #4 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “What is a treasure that’s been lost?” I am going to be grim in today’s post.
