Online internet speed test ookla5/25/2023 This app is well put together and the options it gives you are just what is needed with no extra fluff. I always found that depending on your web browser you could get different results and its far better to have a local run application to cut out as much of noise from applications to get a truer picture of what your results are. I retired from IBM in 2008 with 30 years of working with computers/networks Speedtest has been my go to network test for as long as I can remember. I have been a longtime Ookla Speedtest user for many moons…. Just notice that you had a Mac Desktop app!! Let's hope it to be temporary so I can dump the speedtest I don't like. BUT IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE 12 THERE MAY WELL BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Note I have given this app 4 stars as I really love it and have used it for years and years. I hope that the Ookla team will touch base with Apple and fix this. I think this shows the problem is in something Ookla is not allowing for as to some sort of change in the iPhone 12. Measurements all pretty much match the Mac's Ookla results at 300. That app works fine on both the 12 Max and the 12 Mini. But two iPhones doing the exact same thing? So I dwonloaded a competing speedtest app which I do not usually like as much as Ookla. Had I only bought the one iPhone I would likely have put on my mask and gone to the Apple Store. I take care to match the chosen server to the one the Mac is using and it is an incredible difference. Sometime measures under 100, usually around 150. But when I run the app on both my new iPhone 12s I get the exact same results of very low speeds shown. It shows my Mbps speed to be at or even over the 300 Mbps line I pay for. The Ookla app on my iMac (2019) works great. But both show a disappointing incompatibility with the Ookla Speedtest app. A few days ago we upgraded to my iPhone 12 Pro Max and she loves her new iPhone 12 Mini. And it worked fine on my wife's iPhone 8 and on my iPhone 11 ProMax. I have used it on iPhones for years and years.

However, if you don’t have it in Ubuntu/Debian system by default, follow the steps below: Iptables comes pre-installed in most Linux distributions. Lastly, we will guide you to make persistent changes in iptables. Secondly, we are going to show you how to define the rules. First, you will learn how to install the tool on Ubuntu. We will divide this iptables tutorial into three steps. How to Install and Use Iptables Linux Firewall If you own Hostinger VPS, you can get the SSH login details on the Servers tab of hPanel.

My pictures on google backup5/24/2023 Here’s a tip: You can use Shift while selecting photos to pick out many at once.ĥ. You’re now in the Photos app and can go ham deleting whatever you please. This means you’ll need another device to log into your Google account, allowing you to delete the photos while blocking the search-engine giant’s permission privileges.Ĥ. They’re not actually saved to the app itself, even on Google phones. After all, Google Photos merely acts as a way to display your photos in a neat and tidy manner. The key to protecting your phone’s local storage is to stop Google Photos’ ability to modify your local files. How to prevent Google Photos from deleting locally stored photos I refused to lose to a predatory scheme to enlist me in a subscription service, so I got to work and found a way to destroy those cloud photos without losing anything on my local storage. Nearly losing my photos wasn’t worth my stubborn hatred of Google, but I decided it wasn’t worth it. Part of me was ready to just start paying for it. Either I deal with having no space on my Drive forever, or I cough up cash every month to my one and only overlord, Google. I was still stuck with no storage space and an inability to delete photos from the Cloud without them disappearing permanently. But that’s not where my frustration ends. But if I hadn’t checked sooner, so much would have been gone forever because of an incredibly silly system that makes it difficult to delete photos from the cloud without impacting local storage. Thankfully, I was able to go into Trash and fish those photos out before they were permanently lost.

Tecplot data format5/21/2023 ASCII uses a significant amount of memory where SZL uses about 1/3 as much memory as PLT. Memory consumption: The final metric that differentiates these file types is memory consumption.SZL really shines when grids are 100 million elements and more, where load times can beat PLT by an order of magnitude. Clearly, ASCII format is not a good choice for data of this size. Load times: ASCII file loads in just over 5 minutes while the two binary SZPLT and PLT formats load almost instantly.

Cheap fitbit5/21/2023 This tracker’s sleep monitor is also as robust and intelligent. Test it for the first week, and you’ll learn that it does a good job in tracking steps and distance, while counting calories burned. It’s so fine-tuned that it can easily filter out unnecessary wrist motion and tracks movements at the same time. Perhaps something so authoritative about Letscom is its algorithm. With a powerful set of features that tracks multiple metrics and return results you can trust, I swear this should have cost a little more than just under $50.

Discord login desktop5/21/2023 Joining Discord is as easy as using the service on your desktop browser or downloading the free app available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Not being tethered to a game console also strengthens Discord's argument for non-gaming uses such as talking to family or classmates. However, Discord is not locked down to any one system, unlike Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. You can integrate it with your PlayStation or Xbox account, for example. Discord succeeds because it's platform agnostic. There are many ways to communicate while gaming online, but many of them are tied to specific hardware. However, any online community can take advantage of the features Discord offers. At one point, the service gave away free PC games to paid subscribers before realizing it couldn’t beat Steam. Discord lets friends chat via voice, video, or text, and join servers where larger communities gather. With over a quarter of a billion users, Discord is one of the most popular ways that gamers communicate online. And today, Discord is the service that people turn to for online gaming chat. However, conducting epic MMO raids or coordinating shooter tactics with teammates wasn’t possible in the era before online chat. Listening to random, faraway strangers screech obscenities at you can be enough to make you want to burn your gaming headset. Granted, online multiplayer play isn’t always a pleasant experience, especially when it comes to communication. You can enjoy cooperating with, or competing against, people from across the globe. With online play, you don’t need to seek an arcade's bustling crowds or wrangle friends together for couch gaming. Video games and the internet go together like Doritos and Mountain Dew. |
