After the upgrade from Windows 10, one of the immediate problems I had was hidden NVMe drives. I have some SSDs hooked up via PCIe cards that are formatted in NTFS. What I realized after the upgrade is that all of the drives are still functional; everything is in tact, just that they are marked…
In coming months, Windows 10 will be sunset and Microsoft is aggressively pushing the users to upgrade to either Windows 11 or Windows 11 compatible hardwares. If you were on Windows 10, for the same reasons as I did, it is largely due to several factors that happen to line up like the stars: Mac…
Surprisingly, WordPress supports neither 2FA (two-factor authentication) nor passkeys. Considering the prevalence of both and how readily available they have become, it’s still hard for me to believe WordPress does not have native solutions. Websites, of any kind, due its nature, are bound to be exposed. No wonder why WordPress is being preyed on. From…
One of the big reasons why I keep things on Mac and iOS as platforms, compared to, say, Windows, is because how customizable even the basic apps are. The power of Shortcuts lies in its easy access. Last year or so, I did recommend this particular shortcut as my go-to. In my defense, I previously…
It’s less a how-to, but a PSA for Deco mesh routers users — the online automatic updates for firmwares on smartphone apps or web management are not working. In my case, automatic update said the version 1.2.13 is the latest, but the support page from TP-Link website clearly states v.1.2.14 is the latest with the…
There is something to be said about the quality of display reviews, scientifically examining the manufacturers’ claim against how it actually performs. I don’t have equipments, let alone methodologies, to test the claims like many of those reviewers do. As far as I know, most of the better known brands don’t let the customers suffer…
It’s the allergy season of the year. My favorite weather apps are yet to cover South Korea’s allergy-related forecast, so I end up pulling present data from local sources. That being said, the number I get is not put into the useful context; I want to know if it’s low, moderate, or high, not the…
If you happen to be using an external monitor with your Mac, either laptop or desktop, you may have noticed it has tendency to display blank dark display for brief moments only to go back into sleep, or standby mode, again. It’s less an issue as the Mac itself is not fully waking up, but…
Though the title may sounds like a proper how-to, I ended up deciding to write it as “documentation” of what happened in my particular case. It obviously won’t work for everyone, and your mileage will vary greatly. I believe the common core issues for everyone would be that nearby carrier stores would not have enough…
It’s one mouthful how-to post title, but the premise is simple for those of us who need this feature. There are PS5 titles that are sold under multi-language support, but the game itself simply lacks the language settings. For example, recently I found out Unicorn Overlord is sold with Chinese and Korean support in PlayStation…
I thought we were past the era of VHS v.s. Betamax, or Blu-ray v.s. HD-DVD. Turns out, we are having a war of attrition due to neither party has technological nor market supremacy than the other. I’m talking about LCD and OLED, of course. If you were thinking for a moment, ‘hang on, shouldn’t it…
Bethesda has successfully launched its remastered classic, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, on 22nd, and with it, South Korean gamers have found out Bethesda has region locked the country out. The only other country that is locked out is currently Russia, possibly due to international sanctions. On Steam, it gets more mysterious as Bethesda…
I’m not a fan of mini games and QTEs. I think we are at a period where if the developer is willing, they can easily concoct a method to incorporate convincing-enough side system, even if it’s only few moments compared to the overarching main system. Heck, we even have a zen genre dedicated to simple…
Have you checked the price on the computer monitors recently? Mine is slowly burning away from each corner, so I decided good $300 budget would do – how naive summer child I was. The OLED monitors for 27-32 inches are roughly $1k, I get half (technically a quarter) of screen real estate. And while there…
While there are good blood pressure monitors with IoT features attached, not all products support Apple HealthKit, let alone have accuracy required to be useful. As some reviews would have put it, smart BPM may not have ‘bang for the buck’, and the convenience offered by the device may not worth the bother if the…
