by Mario | Leave a Comment

the Gold standard for worry-free System checks (without deeper integration) is clearly Uptimerobot.com, there are others like HetrixTools, but almost all of them are too “linux’y” making a simple task over-complicated. Uptimerobot however had a change in the terms of service back in 2017 and later updated the pricing resulting in free accounts are limited […]

 

bye-bye Siri

by Mario | Leave a Comment

Since i’m not creative at all, but do have alot of brain-farts over the day, my “problem” was to get them out somehow before they vanish into nothingness. Siri is like the worst kind of assistant, even worse than Alexa, yes i said it, sue me! Being a total Apple Fanboy, this hits home hard, […]
