From reading the title alone, you wouldn’t be blamed for hearing a lo-fi sequence of nostalgic beeps in your mind, perhaps coupled with memories of trying to troubleshoot your modem.
Gone are the days, right? Far from it – this article will debrief you on how modems work in the modern setup where wireless Internet is the norm, as well as how it stacks up in a modem vs. router comparison…
A single computer connecting to the Internet in your house, forever under threat of being disconnected by a single phone call, always a little too slow to just fully fulfill your fantasies; a scary memory, but one of a long-gone past era.
Today, the modern world is run on routers, allowing multiple devices to connect to the Internet with ease, simplicity, and security.

Understanding file systems is fairly straightforward, even though it might seem to be something daunting at first. Various operating systems and storage devices each utilize different types of file systems, and this determines compatibility (and creates compatibility problems).
This article will not only serve to acquaint you with why so many types of file systems exist (and what file systems…
Gone are the days of televisions and computer screens that made your films look like they’d rather have been prints on a piece of paper, had less color and depth than shadows on a wall at noon and were rumored to make you go blind if you sat at them for too long (well… the jury is still out on that one).

The two major categories one comes across when reading about or researching hard drives are HDDs and SSDs, meaning the Hard Disk…
Batteries are stronger than cells because they consist of a collection of cells, and are hence used when high amounts of power are required. These cells then undergo certain chemical reactions within the collective circuit of the battery, and a good amount of energy is generated through this process.
Why should you care about the different battery types out there though? Well, given that the need…
According to quantum physics, ancient religions, and very weird and mind-boggling researches being done to clear Alzheimer’s from mice, either everything is sound, or sound is everything.
With that, it makes sense for us to want the best out of our audio setup, be it wanting the best home theater speakers, the best headphones, or figuring out how to put together the ultimate home theater…
The way technology has advanced in just the last decade, you wouldn’t be forgiven for buying a laptop and having to stop to ask yourself “What is Thunderbolt 3, and why did this movie need to come free with this computer?”
