Switch to Chrome Browsing

I have recently switched my main browsing from Firefox to Chrome. I was waiting for a good implementation of Adblock and now that it is here, I am enjoying Chrome very much. It is very quick, and displays most sites very nicely. The browser has matured well, and I highly recommend it.

Here's my list of installed extensions:

Adblock, Clip to Evernote, Google Share Button, Speed Dial, WOT and Xmarks.

Safe and happy surfing!

Surviving Starlink Beta

 I was approved for the Starlink beta at the beginning of March 2021, and have been using it not quite daily since.  It was very simple to set up, just as advertised.  I am not yet using it as my main service, as I ordered a mount to put it up on my antenna pole.  The speed is quite good, although there is a little noticeable drag as it switches between satellites.  One thing I found amusing was as I was testing the speed, I was testing on dslreports, and it allows you to set the type of service.  However, when I set it to satellite, the server said my response time was too fast for me to be on satellite, and I had to set a different service type.  I hope the speed lives up to the promises, and I am happy that this service has come out for my location, as I doubt fibre will ever happen here.

The Rise of AI-Powered Personal Assistants: A Look at the Future of Our Devices

 If you’ve been paying attention to tech news lately, you’ve probably noticed the growing buzz around AI-powered personal assistants. From Siri and Alexa to Google Assistant and ChatGPT, these virtual helpers have quickly evolved from basic voice-activated tools to powerful, intelligent systems that can manage tasks, make recommendations, and even hold conversations. But how much have they really changed the way we interact with our devices—and what does this mean for the future of tech? Getting Smarter Every Day When I first started using a voice assistant, it was a fun gimmick—something to ask for the weather or play a song while I cooked. But these days, personal assistants are becoming far more than that. They’re increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, from controlling smart home devices to assisting with work tasks like scheduling meetings or drafting emails. For example, I’ve noticed that Google Assistant seems to understand context much better now. If I ask it about...

Leaving LastPass for Bitwarden

 Now that LastPass is beginning to charge for logging in on more than one device many are leaving the service.  I must admit I have been a stalwart LastPass user for several years, and was dreading the change to a different service.  However, I have moved over to Bitwarden, and even though they don't include as many things as the old LastPass did, they are still quite good, and I plan on staying there.  Since they are more open-source some things aren't quite as well integrated as LastPass was, and I still have not been able to get their Chrome extension to work.  Nevertheless, I am happy with the offering, and, ironically, I may start paying for some of their premium services! Have you switched away from LastPass, or are you wondering what I'm talking about?  Let me know in the comments!
