Fixing WiFi for iPad Mini 5
TL;DR My iPad Mini 5 wouldn’t connect to access points running WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode so I’ve had to reconfigure them to just WPA2-PSK in order to get connected. Background I mentioned in my Flint 2 review that my motivation for getting a new router was better stability for my iPad and various devices. It’s certainly […]

November 2024
Pupdate The weather has been pretty miserable, so long walks at the weekend have been into town rather than out on the fields, and coats have been needed for the latter weeks. Milo’s chemo has continued with a few little hiccups caused by low neutrophils, so even more trips to the vets :( But he’s […]

October 2024
Pupdate Autumn is definitely here, and it’s been wet enough that the boys have needed their coats some days. The good news at the start of the month is that Milo’s treatment is working, and he’s back in remission :) Travel The end of the month has been quite busy for travel. NYC One of […]

December 2021
Pupdate Max’s second Christmas and Milo’s first, the outfits came courtesy of their mums’ doggy mum, and caused much excitement when they arrived as they brought the distinctive smell of her house. A very Covidy Christmas As I was drafting this post I left myself a note to comment on getting a booster jab, but […]

July 2020
Another month has rolled by. These were the highlights. Hot tub We’ve always enjoyed a hot tub in rented holiday places, which led to some discussion on whether to get one at home. I’ve not been keen due to cost, hassle and environment concerns; but on a sweltering hot day $wife came home and ordered […]

Swift Playgrounds
I mentioned Swift Playgrounds in my Learning to Code post a few years back, but at that time I didn’t have a new enough iPad to try it for myself. That changed when I recently got an iPad Mini 5[1], so I’ve been running through the Learn to Code modules. It’s like a puzzle game, […]

Classes of tablet
A few years ago I found myself saying ‘with the iPad everyone flys first class’. My thinking at the time was that Apple had levelled the playing field by creating a device that delivered the same excellent user experience whether you were the CEO of a global company, a regular user, or a kid who’d sold a […]

This is Fred Wilson’s question, but I’m repeating it because it’s an interesting one, and because I think I have answers beyond glorified remote controls and recipe books. Like Fred I was also intrigued by Ben Evan’s post ‘iPads, price and self-selection‘. Also in common with Fred I really like the Nexus 7 – both […]

Abandoning Apple
I’ve been a happy iPhone and iPad user for a couple of years, but the time has come to move on. It’s not that I dislike Apple stuff, I just don’t think it’s the best for my needs, and certainly isn’t worth the premium. That said, I’m not very convinced by iOS7, or OS X Mavericks […]

Your own VPN in the cloud
Last week I saw that major credit card companies are blocking payments to VPN services: This is bad news if you want to protect your stuff online (or pretend that you’re in another country). One way to deal with this is to run your own VPN service in the cloud. This is of course of […]
