Internet Service Providers (ISP) in PH - How good or bad in 2021?
DeedleNuts posted a topic in Computers, TVs, Software, Internet & Electronics
I did search for an up-to-date thread on this topic, the terms ISP and fiber found nothing. Sorry if I missed an existing up to date thread. So here we are. My life circumstances are changing in a way that's likely to allow me to spend a lot more time in PH, but there is a catch; I will require reasonably reliable power and reasonably reliable and performant internet connectivity. All that p*orn won't watch itself after all. I joke about that last, but I do need the power and ISP. Looking at the available carriers it looks like fairly zippy fiber is readily available in Manila -
Is Hotel wifi safe for internet banking?
nothingbutquestions posted a topic in Computers, TVs, Software, Internet & Electronics
My previous room had an individual PLDT wifi. No longer. Now all I have available is the unsecured hotel wifi with a universal (hotel-wide) password. Is this as safe as it is going to get for my Internet banking online? -

Is the Internet Making us Stupid?
contraman posted a topic in Computers, TVs, Software, Internet & Electronics
That's the question researchers from Wellington's Victoria University asked in a study on people's reading behaviour. And the answer is: yes. We might have more access to information than ever before, but reading things online actually has a negative impact on people's cognition. Associate professor Val Hooper and masters student Channa Herath's analysis of online and offline reading behaviour found that online reading generally does not have a positive impact on people's cognition. Concentration, comprehension, absorption and recall rates when engaging with online material were a -

Guys, this random foreigner wants to know your view on this subject: Im renting a house with internet, the owner shows me PLDT invoices every month. I did notice in last invoice that I'm also paying for a landline phone, but the phone at home is not working, no signal. I try to call to my supposed number (it's in the invoice I'm paying) and for my surprise it's ringing! So someone is having a landline for free. The owner of the house lived here before, so I guess she was using that landline number as her own, she did transfer to another subdivision, perhaps she did ask to change th

Feds tell Web firms to turn over user account passwords
Knowdafish posted a topic in News, Headlines & World Events
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57595529-38/feds-tell-web-firms-to-turn-over-user-account-passwords/ The best/most informative/most accurate/relevant part of the article is the last 2/3 in my opinion.

If the government is able to determine a person's password, which is typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used -
