Full Access: How the Chinese Surf the Unfiltered Web

Tiananmen Square: a square in the center of Beijing adjacent to the Forbidden City, the largest public open space in the world. Open your Mac. Highlight the words “Tiananmen Square.” Place the cursor over those highlighted words and tap once on the trackpad with three fingers. The above definition should appear regardless of where you are in the world. It is certainly innocent enough and a rather proud claim for China. However, when one does just a bit more digging, even that proudest and innocent description is brought into question. Other sources rank the Square as the fourth largest town square in the world. That seems to be at odds with the claim of being the largest public space. In most sporting events, fourth place doesn’t even get you on the podium.

Benefits of a GSM Repeater

Nothing is more frustrating than having inadequate cell phone reception in your home or office. You can lose out on an important sale, a business client, or even just the latest neighborhood or family information in these situations. Dropped calls and weak signals limit the use of your expensive smartphone and render much of the technology useless. However, with a GSM repeater, you can amplify a cell phone signal and increase your communication abilities across your home or office. The repeater boosts the weak signal from the base station tower via an outdoor antenna and transmits the signal through your building to maximize signal strength. Use Anywhere There is no limit to the number of devices that the repeater can amplify. It doesn’t matter how many people use a mobile phone within the coverage area, as they will all benefit from the stronger signal. The only catch is that you have to remain inside the area that the repeater covers.

Staying Connected…All the Time?

It is hard to believe that just ten short years ago, dial-up Internet connections were still common. Wow, how far have we come? Today you can’t get away from high-speed online connections–they’re ubiquitous. The Internet is always there–no matter where we are–easily accessible via a tiny computer we carry around in our pockets and bags. Today, we get annoyed when we can’t get a strong enough signal for our devices, and we go to great lengths to ensure that our connections are perfect. How did we get here? When did the Trekkies (remember their communicators?) take over the world? Most importantly, where should we send our thank you cards? The Early Beginnings It’s important that we not forget that the Internet was originally developed for governmental use and then slowly but surely introduced and adopted by schools (universities) and libraries. While UseNet and telnet offered email and basic communications to early adopters, it wasn’t until 1993 and the advent of Internet Explorer that the idea of “the Internet in every house” really took off.

Broken laptop LCD isn’t always a big problem

Probably LCD is the most fragile part of any laptop or other hand-held device. When you drop your device on the corner or bend too much, you will definitely crack the screen. After this your computer becomes unusable. What to do next in this situation? First of all, try to evaluate the situation and see how old your laptop is. If you planned to upgrade to newer, then it is the right time – you can sell parts of broken laptops on eBay or the local market. Anyway, if you have a bit of engineering steam, you should fix it. Replacing LCD is an easy task, then the only problem you may face is finding the right LCD. Laptop screens are pretty much standard. All you need is to find the right size and type. If you are not sure, remove the broken LCD from the broken laptop and look at the back’s sticker. You will find screen model numbers like LTN154X3-LOD. Then number 154 indicates that the screen diagonal size is 15.4-inch. LTN indicates that the manufacturer is Samsung. You can find pretty much all codes by googling it.

Short PC reinstall became long

Yesterday a friend asked to look at his old computer. He told that computer crashes randomly with Blue Screen of death (BSOD). He suspected to be an HDD problem due to bad sectors or so. He also wanted to save his pictures if nothing else can be done to make it work. Well, I took the PC for inspection. First of all, I tried to save photos – copy them to flash memory. Started up the computer and what you know – Antivirus software expired long ago, the virus is thriving. Found out that it is worm: Win32/Brontok@mm. From its description, I found that: Win32/Brontok is a family of mass-mailing e-mail worms. The worm spreads by sending a copy of itself as an e-mail attachment to e-mail addresses that it gathers from files on the infected computer. It can also copy itself to USB and pen drives. Win32/Brontok can disable antivirus and security software, immediately terminate certain applications, and cause Windows to restart immediately when certain applications run. The worm may also conduct denial of service (DoS) attacks against certain Web sites.

Pressure-less solar collector controller prototype

It’s been over three months since the solar collector was installed. I decided to build a controller by myself. And it turned out that it stayed in the prototype stage. So I put it into the enclosure and left it like is. So far, it works fine – water is hot every day, so I have nothing more to expect. I did not capture enough pictures of the build, but I think I will share what I have. In the forum thread, you probably saw what type of system I was building. As I mentioned, the solar collector is cheaply made in China and is pressureless. They usually come with a unique controller which takes care of the refilling tank, ensuring protection from water freezing and other individual scheduled routines. A pressureless collector usually is first filled with water which heats, and then it is used (mixed with cold). The initial test shows that when the collector is in direct sun, it boils what leads to heater elements’ calcification. Overall lifetime reduces and so efficiency.

Your Considerations When You Buy a Mobile Phone Signal Booster

This wonderful gadget consists of an external antenna, a signal booster amplifier, and an internal antenna. Still, sometimes, there are models where everything is packed in one unit, making it even more comfortable working. Do not Be Afraid of Doing it for the First Time In case it is your first time when you have to buy a mobile phone signal booster, here is some advice on what to pay attention to make the right choice ever.

Benefits of using multiturn potentiometers

Potentiometers are common electronics components that convert rotary or linear motion in to change of resistance. They can be found anywhere where some adjustments are needed, volume control, and joysticks. You can dive into the long theory about potentiometers, how they are made, what materials are used, and what output characteristics they have regarding rotation angle. As an electronics hobbyist and probably pro, you usually deal with two common types of potentiometers – standard pots with knobs and trim potentiometers. The first group of potentiometers is used where the user has to access the potentiometer when he needs to change one or another parameter like sound volume or screen brightness. They usually are more prominent in size and can be mounted vertically or horizontally to board. Also, they have a panel mount with the nut. This type of potentiometers needs to be mechanically stronger and resistive material more durable due to frequent use.

Cheap Arduino compatible boards are same as original

Probably you have noticed that Arduino is spread worldwide. It would be ridiculous to see one manufacturer producing them. The Arduino group produces an original board that is named Arduino. This is their trademark. But being an open-source product, Arduino has become popular in almost all workshops, so demand is enormous. Since building plans are public, other electronics manufacturers started building Arduino-compatible boards. These are the same Arduino boards but with Arduino’s name and logo removed. It is 100% compatible with standard Arduino that works with software tools, extensions, and modules.

How to Take Good ID Card Photographs
