Sorry, it’s blatantly off-topic by all standards, but it’s an association I’ve always had. Presumably you’ve heard those terms in connection with IT security. Now, often people have problems as to what those terms actually mean. Having an RPG background, … Continue reading

Android, what is it all about?
So I did it. I actually bought a cheapo Android phone (Simvalley SP-60) with dual-SIM feature, because that’s the single most important feature of a phone for me. Of course I went immediately to the privacy settings to turn off … Continue reading
