#fastest router

[reasonsforhope]

"As the world grows “smarter” through the adoption of smartphones, smart fridges, and entire smart houses, the carbon cost of that technology grows, too. 

In the last decade, electronic waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. 

According to The World Counts, the globe generates about 50 million tons of e-waste every year. That’s the equivalent of 1,000 laptops being trashed every second. 

After they’re shipped off to landfills and incinerated, the trash releases toxic chemicals including lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and so much more, which can cause disastrous health effects on the populations that live near those trash sites. 

Fortunately, Franziska Kerber — a university student at ​​FH Joanneum in Graz, Austria — has dreamed up a solution that helps carve away at that behemoth problem: electronics made out of recyclable, dissolvable paper. 

On September 11, Kerber’s invention “Pape” — or Paper Electronics — earned global recognition when it was named a national winner of the 2024 James Dyson Awards. 

When she entered the scientific competition, Kerber demonstrated her invention with the creation of several small electronics made out of paper materials, including a fully-functional WiFi router and smoke detector. 

“Small electronic devices are especially prone to ending up in household waste due to unclear disposal systems and their small size, so there is significant potential to develop a more user-friendly end-of-life system,” Kerber wrote on the James Dyson Award website. 

“With this in mind, I aimed to move beyond a simple recycling solution to a circular one, ensuring long-term sustainability.” 

Kerber’s invention hinges on crafting a dissolvable and recyclable PCB board out of compressed “paper pulp.” 

A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board that can be found in nearly all modern electronic devices, like phones, tablets, and smartwatches.

But even companies that have started incorporating a “dissolution” step into the end life of their products require deconstruction to break down and recover the PCB board before it can be recycled. 

With Kerber’s PAPE products, users don’t need to take the device apart to recycle it.

“By implementing a user-friendly return option, manufacturers can efficiently dissolve all returned items, potentially reusing electronic components,” Kerber explained. 

“Rapidly advancing technology, which forms the core of many devices, becomes obsolete much faster than the structural elements, which are often made from plastics that can last thousands of years,” Kerber poses. 

PAPE, Kerber says, has a “designed end-of-life system” which anticipates obsolescence. 

“Does anyone want to use a thousand-year-old computer?” Kerber asks. “Of course not. … This ensures a sustainable and reliable system without hindering technological advancement.”"

Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about. It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything. And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing. If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam. As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

What is Linux?

Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

Linux was originally developed for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture, but has since been ported to more platforms than any other operating system. Because of the dominance of Linux-based Android on smartphones, Linux, including Android, has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems as of May 2022.

Linux is the leading operating system on servers (over 96.4% of the top one million web servers' operating systems are Linux) leads other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and is used on all of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers (as of November 2017, having gradually displaced all competitors).

Linux also runs on embedded systems, i.e., devices whose operating system is typically built into the firmware and is highly tailored to the system. This includes routers, automation controls, smart home devices, video game consoles, televisions (Samsung and LG smart TVs), automobiles (Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Toyota), and spacecraft (Falcon 9 rocket, Dragon crew capsule, and the Perseverance rover).

Redesign of Alastor When I thought about him, I took as a basis the fashion of the 20s and 30s, when Alastor lived. Also, in order to justify his name of radio demon, I added elements of an old radio to his clothes. He has stitches on his shoulders, which refers to his fascination with Voodoo. In the days when Al lived, almost no one wore a monocle, if at all. Basically, everyone had glasses, which was the reason for replacing the monocle with glasses. His microphone was also changed to the microphone that was used in his time, but slightly modified for hell. The horns have lengthened because he is already a grown boy, not a little fawn. In general, I tried to make him look more statuesque, after all, he is an overlord, and not an ordinary sinner.

Vox Redesign Vox clearly follows style and fashion. This is mainly about technology, but clothes should also be fashionable. And his friend Corduroy, she won't let him put on something old-fashioned, otherwise it will embarrass her and all the Vees. Cyberpunk suits Vox, so I tried to create such a neon style for him. I also think that for the most part Vox's body consists of technology, so he has a speaker on his chest so that he can speak. And, of course, he does not need Wi-Fi routers, because he himself is a walking router with the fastest Internet to be always in touch.

Redesign of Lucifer The last thing I wanted to change was his image, because in principle he is handsome. Only his clothes were made more similar to the clothes of the sprechstallmeister, adding 6 "wings" as well, referring to his angelic essence.

Quote of the Week

In [other languages], I could end up chasing silly bugs and waste time debugging and tracing to find that I made a typo or ran into a language quirk that gave me an unexpected nil pointer. That situation is almost non-existent in Rust, it's just me and the problem. Rust is honest and upfront about its quirks and will yell at you about it before you have a hard to find bug in production.

[dea-certe]

Where I work was affected by this and we had to roll out instructions to fix it (thankfully we've been having a small issue where about half the computers in each branch have a small error where it keeps saying windows isn't activated so each branch still had access to a computer where they could get into the email and get the instructions). Now the problem is a lot of the people I work with are not what anyone would call tech savvy. The company fully expected everyone to be able to reset the system when several of these guys have called IT for simple how to reset a router instructions.

This lead to shit like this:

We have a bitlocker key for each individual workstation that they had to search for on a notepad document (because we can't open Adobe about half the time but notepad always work). It was very simple, find it in the document, enter the key to get into the computer and have it reset in safe mode to stop the boot loop. Second problem happened when;

The CSR 0X is the end of the name of the workstation. It is not part of the bitlocker key. This is obvious, this is in the instructions they sent out that clearly said to enter the bitlocker key that followed your workstation's name. The number of people who kept entering in the the fucking workstation name instead of the key and then having to call me because "it's not letting me put in the letters"......I spent probably 3 hours yesterday walking people through the set up and wound up just searching the doc myself and reading them the key because it was the fastest way to handle it.

It was an absolute mess of a day.

idk if people on tumblr know about this but a cybersecurity software called crowdstrike just did what is probably the single biggest fuck up in any sector in the past 10 years. it's monumentally bad. literally the most horror-inducing nightmare scenario for a tech company.

some info, crowdstrike is essentially an antivirus software for enterprises. which means normal laypeople cant really get it, they're for businesses and organisations and important stuff.

so, on a friday evening (it of course wasnt friday everywhere but it was friday evening in oceania which is where it first started causing damage due to europe and na being asleep), crowdstrike pushed out an update to their windows users that caused a bug.

before i get into what the bug is, know that friday evening is the worst possible time to do this because people are going home. the weekend is starting. offices dont have people in them. this is just one of many perfectly placed failures in the rube goldburg machine of crowdstrike. there's a reason friday is called 'dont push to live friday' or more to the point 'dont fuck it up friday'

so, at 3pm at friday, an update comes rolling into crowdstrike users which is automatically implemented. this update immediately causes the computer to blue screen of death. very very bad. but it's not simply a 'you need to restart' crash, because the computer then gets stuck into a boot loop.

this is the worst possible thing because, in a boot loop state, a computer is never really able to get to a point where it can do anything. like download a fix. so there is nothing crowdstrike can do to remedy this death update anymore. it is now left to the end users.

it was pretty quickly identified what the problem was. you had to boot it in safe mode, and a very small file needed to be deleted. or you could just rename crowdstrike to something else so windows never attempts to use it.

it's a fairly easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that it is effecting enterprises. which can have a looooot of computers. in many different locations. so an IT person would need to manually fix hundreds of computers, sometimes in whole other cities and perhaps even other countries if theyre big enough.

another fuck up crowdstrike did was they did not stagger the update, so they could catch any mistakes before they wrecked havoc. (and also how how HOW do you not catch this before deploying it. this isn't a code oopsie this is a complete failure of quality ensurance that probably permeates the whole company to not realise their update was an instant kill). they rolled it out to everyone of their clients in the world at the same time.

and this seems pretty hilarious on the surface. i was havin a good chuckle as eftpos went down in the store i was working at, chaos was definitely ensuring lmao. im in aus, and banking was literally down nationwide.

but then you start hearing about the entire country's planes being grounded because the airport's computers are bricked. and hospitals having no computers anymore. emergency call centres crashing. and you realised that, wow. crowdstrike just killed people probably. this is literally the worst thing possible for a company like this to do.

crowdstrike was kinda on the come up too, they were starting to become a big name in the tech world as a new face. but that has definitely vanished now. to fuck up at this many places, is almost extremely impressive. its hard to even think of a comparable fuckup.

a friday evening simultaneous rollout boot loop is a phrase that haunts IT people in their darkest hours. it's the monster that drags people down into the swamp. it's the big bag in the horror movie. it's the end of the road. and for crowdstrike, that reaper of souls just knocked on their doorstep.

Electronics Manufacturing Company in India: Powering the Future of Technology

India has become one of the fastest-growing destinations for electronics manufacturing. With a strong focus on quality, innovation, and technology, electronics manufacturing companies in India are meeting both domestic demand and global requirements. Today, India plays a critical role in producing everything from smartphones to advanced electronic components for industries like automotive, healthcare, and telecommunications.

The Rise of Electronics Manufacturing in India

✅ Government Support & Initiatives

How to Get Unbanned on Fortnite in 2025

Using hacks, cheats, or any third-party software that gives you an advantage in Fortnite is in violation of Epic Games' terms of service. It could result in the possibility of a temporary or permanent ban from the game. To avoid bans To avoid a ban, make sure you follow the game's terms of services and report abusive behavior or the harassment. If you'd like to stay clear of the risk of getting an IP ban, try VPN. VPN. 1. Appeal the ban There are several ways to appeal your Fortnite ban. You must first navigate to the Support section on the Epic Games site. There you can fill out an appeals form, which includes your email address and a short account of the incident which resulted in your ban.

The next thing to do is waiting for Epic Games to review your appeal. It could take some time for them to respond, and it's important that you're patient throughout the process. If your ban is for a long time then you'll be unable to lift it unless you contact Epic directly. You could be banned the HWID you use is blocked, and this is applicable to VPNs as well. HWID bans only impact the IP address of your device, not your serial number or device identifier. Because of this, using an VPN can be dangerous if you're trying to stay clear of being banned permanently. 2. Change your IP address You can attempt to have your ban overturned by contacting Epic Games, the game's creator. They might be able to provide you with more details on why you were banned and ways to avoid being caught later on. This won't help if the ban was for serious violations like cheating or hacking. The fastest method of avoiding Fortnite IP bans is by using a VPN. Installed on your mobile or PC, these apps will change your IP address and allow you to enjoy the game. They are also more reliable than hotspots, which can cost you money and limit your data. NordVPN has the fastest speeds and the lowest ping of any gaming VPN. It's important to keep your gaming running smoothly especially when you're trying to dodge a ban. 3. Use an VPN You may receive an Fortnite banning that is unfair or illegitimate. A VPN can assist you in attempting to avoid the IP-based bans by connecting to another server, which masks your original IP address. NordVPN is the best VPN to use for Fortnite. It offers gaming-optimized server options that will assist you in reducing the ping of your game while enjoying smooth gameplay. You can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously and the service comes with a guarantee. Another alternative is PIA It offers servers in more than 91 countries and can assist you in lowering your ping by finding a route that is close to the servers of the game. It's simple to use, and works with desktops (PC and Mac), smartphones (iOS and Android) and consoles (with the option of setting up your router manually). The no-logs policy permits users to remain completely anonymous on the Internet. You can try it for no cost. 4. Contact Epic Games Banning yourself from Fortnite can be a frustrating and stressful experience. The loss of V-Bucks and skins can be an unsettling experience for any player. It is important to know the reason behind your ban, and how to obtain your Fortnite account back. A ban placed on your account puts limitations on the use of your Epic Games account, and won't allow you to play the game until you submit an appeal to a ban. Based on the severity of your offence, the ban may be temporary or permanent. Hardware ID bans, in contrast is a ban on your computer's device ID, and blocks your ability to access the game. It is possible to bypass an HWID block by using a spoofer, VPN or any other tool. But, you'll be required to appeal the ban. Video by YouTube

Ping vs Other Monitoring Methods: Why Choose Ping Monitoring?

In the digital world, your website or server is the front line of your business. Whether you're running an e-commerce platform, a blog, or a SaaS product, keeping your site live and responsive is essential. That’s where monitoring tools come into play. But with so many monitoring methods available, how do you choose the right one?

Among these, Ping Monitoring stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness. Let’s explore how it compares to other methods—and why it might be the best fit for your needs.

💡 What is Ping Monitoring?

Ping monitoring checks the availability of your server or website by sending small packets of data (ICMP echo requests) and waiting for a response. If the server replies, it’s online. If not, it may be down or unreachable.

✅ Benefits:

Real-time uptime checks

Fast detection of server failures

Lightweight and efficient

Easy setup

It’s perfect for quickly knowing whether your website or system is online without needing deep configuration.

🔧 Other Monitoring Methods Explained

Let’s take a look at some other popular methods:

1. HTTP Monitoring

Checks if a webpage loads correctly and returns the right status code (like 200 OK). It ensures the website is not only up but also functioning.

2. DNS Monitoring

Monitors if your domain name resolves correctly and quickly to the right IP address.

3. TCP Port Monitoring

Checks specific ports (e.g., 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, 21 for FTP) to ensure services are accepting connections.

4. Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Deeply analyzes application behavior—response time, transaction flow, database calls, etc. Best for complex backend systems.

5. Synthetic Monitoring

Simulates user actions (e.g., logging in, adding to cart) to test the user experience from different regions.

📊 Ping vs Other Monitoring: A Quick Comparison

🕒 When to Use Ping Monitoring?

Ping monitoring is best when:

You want quick alerts for server uptime

You're monitoring basic infrastructure like web servers or routers

You don’t need application-level details

You need a low-cost and low-maintenance solution

It’s ideal for small businesses, developers, IT admins, and anyone who wants basic uptime tracking.

⚠️ Limitations of Ping Monitoring

While powerful, ping monitoring has some limitations:

Doesn’t detect if a website is returning errors (like 500 or 404)

Doesn’t check if a site’s layout is broken or buttons don’t work

Some firewalls may block ping requests

Doesn’t simulate actual user interaction

That’s why it’s often best to combine ping with other monitoring methods for complete coverage.

🚀 Why Choose Ping Monitoring with WebStatus247?

If you want easy, reliable, and global uptime checks, WebStatus247’s Ping Monitoring is a perfect choice.

Here’s what you get:

🌍 Global monitoring nodes

📩 Instant alerts via SMS or email

📊 Clean, simple dashboard

💸 Affordable plans

🧠 Easy setup – no technical skills needed

Whether you're monitoring one website or an entire network, WebStatus247 helps you stay ahead of downtime.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Ping monitoring may seem basic, but it's often the first and fastest line of defense against downtime. It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and incredibly useful for anyone managing a website or server.

Small Business Internet in the UAE: How to Choose the Right Connection for Growth

In today’s fast-paced business environment, a reliable internet connection is the lifeline of any small business. Whether you’re running an e-commerce site, managing a boutique agency, or operating a local service business, the quality of your internet can make or break productivity, customer satisfaction, and even sales.

In the UAE—where digital transformation is a national priority—small businesses have access to world-class internet infrastructure. But with so many options on the market, choosing the right internet plan can be overwhelming.

This guide breaks down what you need to know to make a smart, cost-effective decision for your business.

🌐 The Internet Landscape for Small Businesses in the UAE

The UAE boasts some of the fastest and most reliable internet services in the region, driven by major telecom providers like:

Etisalat by e&

du

Both providers offer business-grade internet plans, tailored to different sizes and types of enterprises—from solo entrepreneurs to small teams working out of co-working spaces or commercial offices.

💼 Key Internet Needs for Small Businesses

Before choosing a plan, it’s important to assess your actual needs. Ask yourself:

How many devices and users will be online at the same time?

Do you use cloud-based software (like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365)?

Do you conduct video calls or livestreams?

Do you need secure and stable connections for POS or customer data?

Are you planning to scale in the next 6–12 months?

Based on your answers, your internet solution should provide the following:

Consistent speeds (no throttling during peak hours)

Reliable uptime (minimal outages)

Business-level support (priority customer service)

Security features (firewalls, antivirus, and backup options)

📊 Comparing Internet Plans: Etisalat vs du

Here’s a snapshot of what small business internet packages typically include in the UAE:

🟢 Etisalat Business Internet

Speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps

Bundled services (email hosting, Microsoft tools, cybersecurity)

24/7 customer support

Optional add-ons like VoIP, cloud PBX, and static IPs

🔵 du Business Internet

Flexible monthly and annual plans

High-speed fiber connectivity

Smart Wi-Fi routers and remote management tools

Affordable packages for startups and freelancers

Many business internet packages also come with value-added features like:

Free domain registration

Professional email accounts

Website builder tools

💡 Tips for Choosing the Right Internet Plan

Don’t Overpay for Speed You Don’t Need

If you’re a solo business owner working from home, 100–250 Mbps may be more than enough.

Larger teams or those using heavy cloud apps may need 500 Mbps or more.

Look for Bundles

Providers often offer discounts when you bundle internet with other services like landlines or cloud storage.

Prioritize Business Support

Business internet packages come with dedicated support lines, which means faster help when you need it most.

Check Coverage

Not all areas of the UAE have the same level of fiber-optic coverage. Always check if your building or neighborhood supports high-speed fiber.

Ask About Flexibility

Some providers offer contract-free or short-term options that are ideal for new businesses or those in shared office spaces.

🛠️ Alternative Options for Remote or Mobile Businesses

If your business doesn’t operate from a fixed location (e.g., event companies, pop-up retailers, or service technicians), you can consider:

4G/5G routers: Portable, high-speed internet using mobile data

Business mobile plans with hotspot capabilities

Satellite internet for remote or rural locations

📈 Final Thoughts: Internet as an Investment

For small businesses in the UAE, internet is more than a utility—it’s a strategic asset. It supports everything from digital marketing and sales to customer service and financial operations.

Choosing the right business internet plan means: ✅ Fewer disruptions ✅ Happier customers ✅ Smoother operations ✅ Better scalability

Take the time to evaluate your options, speak with providers, and choose a package that grows with your business.
