For those who don’t know what this is about – Edge is the successor to Microsoft Explorer. MS says it built it from scratch, along with the usual marketing talk about taking the best from all the other browsers and delivering the best user experience and comfort. Windows 10 is generally doing very well, with …

Today I kept saving geocaches around Karlovy Vary, where there are several PowerTrails, but the best one is probably GeoWest. That would be the main reason to go there, because it is terribly far away (8h+ by train). And what really annoys me is solving caches I don’t understand at all, which is probably 99% …

ChromeOS is an OS built on the cloud. To get a clear idea of what the cloud is and what it is not, I recommend this video (in Czech): The cloud is when…. ChromeBox Hardware So now we know what the cloud is, but what is the ChromeBox? (I will say ChromeBox instead of Chromebook, …

This article reflects my personal beliefs. You don’t have to agree with me, but please don’t look down on me either. I will welcome any objective criticism.
