Geforce Now wasn't suitable for me when traveling, so I ordered an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X as alternative. Is the device my solution for gaming, when I'm not at home?

Since 2022 this blog was operated with Ghost CMS. A modern system, but it has its flaws. I wasn't happy, and now I got rid of Ghost.

Stargate is one of my favorite science fiction series. I loved the humorous and grounded approach. Space battles are secondary, the main method of travel is the namesake Stargates. But how do the addresses actually work?

I'm not a music enthusiast. In my entire life, I haven't bought a single cassette, CD, or MP3. Fortunately, music streaming services exist today. For the past six months, we've been testing Deezer instead of YouTube Music.

I've been using smartphones before the term even existed. My first pocket computer was an HTC Diamond with Windows Mobile and stylus input. Not everything was perfect, but some things I still miss to this day.

A few weeks ago, we put a new cabinet in the living room and rearranged some things. The router moved on top of the cabinet, so a bit higher and two meters further from the phone jack. Suddenly, the internet connection was unstable and would reconnect several times a day.

Unfortunately, GeForce Now doesn't fit my mobile lifestyle after all. The connection on the go is too poor and unstable. I'm looking for a device that can run games locally. The new gaming handhelds are a good option, especially the ASUS Xbox ROG Ally X, right?

My BMW 118d is now 14 years old and has 450,000 km on the clock. So, a defect isn't surprising. The vague error message, however, is. Even the workshop couldn't make heads or tails of it.

It's not just since Donald Trump became President of the USA that you should think carefully about whether you want to entrust your data to a cloud, which is usually operated by US companies. This is especially tempting for private use, as the maintenance effort is low. But so is the control.

Dune: Awakening has become my new main game; it's just completely hooked me. But one thing is driving me crazy: the performance. Even in notebook mode, I can't get the game to 60 FPS, if it even stays stable above 40 FPS. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and my PC.
