As someone who has used PCs since childhood, I only started using a MacBook Pro a few years ago when my family bought one (well, it’s not mine, I just borrow it for a long time 😂). The first laptop I owned was an IBM ThinkPad T43. When I got it, the battery was so old that it was almost useless (it lasted about 3 minutes and 42 seconds from boot to hibernation), so most of the time I removed the battery to reduce the weight, and only installed it when I needed to move between power outlets....

Some computers may still work perfectly fine, but they may be removed from the upgrade list by official sources due to multiple considerations, such as performance, commercial, or functional considerations. Isn’t it a shame? At this time, dosdude1 has solved this problem with the Catalina Patcher. This is the official support list: Screenshot from Apple official website Below is the Catalina Patcher support list, which is consistent with the OS X El Capitan system requirements:...

There are many reasons why we may need to reinstall our operating system, such as the system becoming slow due to too many installed programs, not wanting to delete programs one by one, or switching to a new disk drive, downgrading from a beta version to a stable release, or unexpected power outages during system upgrades.

As a child, I often struggled with managing my home network. For example, my home had three floors and three routers. I wanted to make sure that devices connected to each router could communicate with each other. However, if I turned on DHCP Server on each of the routers, the routers would become independent networks that couldn’t communicate with each other. Later, I discovered that by using a bridge to turn one router into a DHCP server and the others into AP or switch, I could achieve the same network and interconnectivity....

Sometimes, for various reasons, you may not want to use Wi-Fi or a personal hotspot when using the internet, or your computer’s wireless network card may be blocked by surrounding objects, or even a black Apple computer may not have a compatible wireless network card. In these cases, using an Android phone as a network receiver is a good idea. macOS version 10.11 (El Captain) or higher is required, and this article demonstrates using macOS 10....

Because Windows 10 updates often take up a lot of storage space and can often cause some inexplicable problems (such as the built-in search function not working), I discovered an effective way to block updates myself. First, open Start> Settings> Update & Security. Next, enter Windows Update settings and click on [Advanced options]. If there are available updates, it is recommended to update first before proceeding with the next operation....

It’s been a while since I last shared anything! Recently, I have been learning about BGP knowledge and testing. Previously, I used Bird1 to broadcast BGP, but when I tried to peer with my friend, we couldn’t establish a connection (it was strange, but I could connect with IX). So I uninstalled Bird1 and installed FRRouting instead. FRRouting is a routing suite that comes from Quagga Fork, and its functionality is also very powerful (its commands are similar to Cisco or Quagga)....

Last time, we introduced the comparison of free memberships among various streaming platforms. As you can see, many platforms have real-time lyrics.
