HomeKit architecture update that is announced in 2022 will now be the only supported version, as the previous version will no longer be supported starting on Feb 10, 2026. There were mixed receptions initially about the update process itself. But having gone through them years ago myself, I can safely say most known issues have…
Back when Hitman (2016) was released, I remember an old friend of mine telling me how the stealth formula in the popular franchise is simply getting too old. The AI of these NPCs never work together. And each iteration did try to amp up AI behavior, but it hasn’t changed so drastically. It did give…
I’ve seen this question thousands of times. Korean authorities issue too many alerts, and many of them do not require immediate attentions. Amber alert, one which I would prefer to keep on, is quite meaningless in South Korea, as the alert reaches well past the city limit. Just few days ago, I received an Amber…
Though I never elaborated it to software level of discussions, one of the immediate questions I had for foldable (book styled) is that it has no media exclusive to the hardware. And it seems that is still the case. As far as I am aware, Android manufacturers and developers on the platform have not worked…
I prefer not to talk about a game that is not fully released, let alone a demo, but Fear the Timeloop seemed to have positioned itself in a different spot. The reason behind avoiding making a comment on a game before the full release often comes from the common practice amongst the developers not to…
One of the main reasons why I chose qBittorrent was its web UI. However, if you are using qBittorrent from SynoCommunity, chances are, each and every browsers are raising alarms about lack of secure (https) connection. While the risk is negligible if the web UI is correctly set to be accessible only by local users,…
Synology offers an official version of BitTorrent client, Download Station, but it lacks many features I would consider given in this day and age: a. it would need comprehensive web UI to manage BitTorrent traffic, and b. it would need VPN or proxy support natively. Neither were the case when I gave Download Station a…
Synology had a rough year in 2025 with its new policy — now retracted — on HDDs, but it didn’t outright kill the consumer NAS brand. In fact, when I did some research into what could be the possible alternatives to Synology as a platform, there weren’t many that offered community supports and different builds…
I have covered an iOS app with similar features named Tailor, but the app in question hasn’t received any updates recently; iOS 26 seems to have completely broken the app. It is frustrating when an app no longer receives an update, but it happens regardless. Picsew is yet another iOS app offered as a freemium…
Though many browsers already support exporting a webpage as a long screenshot (or a scroll screenshot), from my experience, it doesn’t help the fact that it is filled with non-essentials. It’s a fact of all media. If you are saving only certain part of the post, exporting the entire page into PDF or JPEG is…
I suppose it’s a playlist of cybersecurity for this week. This is yet another good usage of searching through known breaches covered yesterday’s post. If you are not using a password manager, like it or not, you are most likely guilty of reusing the same password. If you are not using a random password generator…
Since I just covered a website tracking app related security breaches, I thought to add the old-fashioned one — the one tracks by your email address. Traditionally, service providers and security researchers had released their findings separately, per case basis. If you were a customer of 100 different services, you had to look out for…
About a year ago, I wrote about the app spamming in the App Store. Though Apple has since updated the guidelines to block these copycats, it seems the damage has already been done. There are compromises after compromises, and fake AI assistants or LLMs make it particularly more vulnerable for the users as more data…
I’ve stopped using volume keys to control ringtone volumes — one of the few things smartphones have changed. I suppose, in my mind, on a feature phone I took the “phone” to be the default function of the device; whereas, on smartphones, ringtone is just another notification of an app called “phone”. It’s a minor…
I don’t know if this would come as a surprise, but Mittzon is not my first standing desk setup. I have actually owned a portable standing desk of sort that sits on top of an existing traditional desk. It also pulled double duty as a flat surface laptop stand, so that I may use it…
