Not so long ago, we reported on the best mobile Internet performance in Germany based on the nPerf evaluations, to whose data we were also able to contribute with our speed test. Now the company has announced further features for nPerf. If you would like to read the evaluation, you can do so here. Telekom hat die beste mobile Internetleistung in [...]
We have been hosting the nPerf Speed Test on our website for some time now. The French company, which is based in Lyon, offers comprehensive network test solutions and analyses. As a result, it is also interesting to see which network provider stood out best in this country with the mobile Internet. Data from the period from January 2023 to [...]
Short connection? Then you only need to own a Fritz!Box from AVM and operate it in Deutsche Telekom’s fiber optic network (FTTH). If you then call a mobile phone number and want to talk a little longer, you will lose relatively quickly. Or rather, after just two minutes and one second. Because that’s when the connection is lost and you [...]
The French company nPerf, based in Lyon, has a worldwide server network that is also optimized to measure your connection speed precisely. We have included the GUI ourselves on our homepage and have been using this service for our readers for years. Today’s study is based on tests conducted by users of the nPerf mobile app, which is [...]
You would think that Windows 11 automatically includes at least the most important standard drivers. The WLAN is active and there might even be an Ethernet cable in the LAN port. You feel well prepared and then you get to a point where you really wonder if they smoked some special weed in Redmond. I have rarely seen so much stupid ignorance and [...]
If you own one of the newer ASUS router models, ASUS strongly recommends updating the firmware to the latest version. A number of critical vulnerabilities have been identified, including the two most serious ones labeled CVE-2022-26376 and CVE-2018-1160. These vulnerabilities are rated 9.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. However, if you are using third [...]
I’m sure I don’t need to describe a router any further, because everyone knows that the Internet doesn’t just come out of the wall socket, but also needs to be distributed throughout the home in a manner that is as latency-free and high-bandwidth as possible. Since Wi-Fi 6E now enables real tri-band routers that can generate a [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show what it can do! The title already gave it away, for this system, which can also be used as a server [...]
We seamlessly follow up on the last article about my 3D-printed NAS, then today it’s all about commissioning and also finally performance testing. If you haven’t read the last article yet, you should definitely catch up on it. In this one, it does get very software-heavy. Preparations As already announced, I decided to use [...]
Last week, Microsoft released a security patch for Windows 11, which, in addition to some annoying interventions in the system (e.g. network detection was deactivated without being asked), also caused a system with an active Microsoft account, which relies on the PIN for authentication in the start screen, to discard exactly this PIN when changing [...]
In keeping with the theme of prepayments, back payments and heating costs, this time I subjected myself to a self-financed and rather involuntary self-experiment. Almost 4,000 euros more in advance per year should actually be enough to get rid of old carelessness and accept the additional costs for the purchase in return. At current prices, the [...]
Is Wi-Fi 6 now the panacea for poor WLAN reception? No, but it can certainly actively support the therapy. You can’t reinvent physics, but you can harness it. It’s been almost 3 years since I set up a Wi-Fi 5 network over two floors here in the lab and also published a longer article about it. If you’re lucky enough to have a [...]
Why I took a closer look at the Doogee S89 Pro today and let you participate in the self-experiment (of my kids)? Because, as the father of two young boys, I see myself once again confirmed in the fact that it is rather counterproductive to pass on the discarded parental smartphones to the squirts. Rugged smartphones are certainly a niche, and yet [...]
A little over a year ago, I presented an ITX gaming system here whose case came entirely from the 3D printer. Since then there were from me now and then smaller topics in this direction, today I present you my next big project with a small footprint. However, instead of a gaming PC for your own leisure time, it becomes rather useful and practical [...]
I admit it, I’ve been putting off the topic of Wi-Fi 6 for ages. But in the meantime, in addition to the appropriate smartphones, I also own several clients that can use Wi-Fi 6, but are not allowed to, because my good old Fritz!Box 7590 does not allow this. And I have long considered whether I do not separate once between business and [...]
It was around midnight an not the first time (and will certainly not be the last time), but a DDos attack is always less beautiful (but superfluous as a crop), no matter how elaborate and extensive it has now taken place. However, I go for 2 years, despite a powerful Epyc server and a redundant connection in the data center, the somewhat safer way [...]
For many years now, the maker scene, i.e. the hobbyist crafting of primarily electronic or information technology applications, has been enjoying lively growth. Projects in optoelectronics are particularly popular, as you get direct visible feedback on your work performance. Furthermore, one could use the term eye-candy as a psychological [...]
First of all, I would like to thank some colleagues who really amazed me via Messenger and Tweet with this interesting piece of Twitter reading and which I would also like to share with you. Because one thing is also clear: cryptographic currency scams are almost as old as digital tokens themselves, but the most recent incident is still one for [...]
Google is cutting its marketing budget for the second half of 2020 by up to 50 percent, according to audited internal documents, according to CNBC. This development only clearly shows that even the largest and highest rated companies are not immune to the devastating effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In a further move, Google informed [...]
2K Games is now the next publisher to remove its entire range of games from GeForce NOW, the cloud streaming service introduced by NVIDIA last month after several years of beta. As usual, NVIDIA provided the news about the GeForce NOW forums. However, the community representative also said talks are underway with 2K Games to get the company back [...]
