Today, most cars feature a mobile hotspot, allowing all devices to stay connected at a cost ranging from $20 to $40 per month. But what if you have an older car?
A reader was looking to read the newspaper on his iPad in the car because he likes its larger screen. Since there’s no Wi-Fi in his old vehicle, he needed a way to connect his iPad to the internet.
I told him to go to “Settings” on his iPhone, then to “Cellular” and tap “Personal Hotspot” to turn it on. After that, your iPad could percentage of the iPhone’s cellular network. “It works very well,” he said.
To check it on my Android phone, I went to “Settings”, then “Network and Internet”, then “Access Point and Anchor”, and pressed “Wi-Fi Hotspot”. Then I transferred the transfer to “on”. I wrote down the call from the access point, “Pixel_1644,” typed in “password,” and wrote it down. Then, from my other devices, all I had to do was decide on the Pixel_1644 as a network, enter the password and voila, I shared the cellular connection with my phone. With it, I surfed the Internet from two computers, two tablets, and an iPhone. You may have only been alone in a forest instead of being at home with the router turned off.
Unfortunately, the hotspot feature is not available on all cell phone plans. For example, when a friend tried, they got a message that Tracfone doesn’t cover knowledge sharing in their plan. My Trackfone plan is the same price as This, $130 per year, but it worked well. Alternatively, you can acquire a compromised cellular hotspot and get a service plan for it, starting at around $10 per month.
SURVIVING A POWER OUTAGE
One reader said a twist of a car’s fate broke or destroyed a primary transformer, leading to a forced blackout. “Do you have any idea how big a backup unit would be needed to force our Dish receiver and our TV?” he asked.
Most TVs are 117 watts and the highest rated satellite dish is 28 watts. Add them in combination and you get 145 watts. The $186 Allwei portable power plant on Amazon has 280 watt hours and receives smart reviews. With this, the player’s TV and Dish receiver can be forced for almost two hours, long enough for them to watch their favorite show. For more information on the watt, search for “Energy Intake from Family Appliances” in Generatorist. com. It lists everything from air fryers to Xboxes.
Gasoline turbines run for six to 12 hours, but you can’t run them indoors unless you need to choke. It’s for camping.
WHO IS WATCHING YOU
The most recent edition of the Vivaldi internet browser is a natural genius when it comes to blocking trackers and ads. Blocking them reduces the clutter of an Internet site to load it quickly.
When a friend tried it for a month, it blocked more than 8000 trackers and more than 5000 ads, mostly news sites. is based on hidden configurations that Vivaldi blocksArrayWithout any further requirements.
Vivaldi also has customization. For example, when I save recipes to my playlist, I can sort them by name and other criteria. The aspect panel is full of gems like this, plus links to your downloads, search history, calendar, and more. But the crazier you are, the better. Beaspects Vivaldi, I use six other browsers, adding Chrome.
iPhone SHORTCUTS
Sending via email: “Thank you for your type of note. “Now I can write “tykn” and my iPhone will write it for me.
This is an example of the iPhone’s “text replacement” feature. Even if you don’t charge any shortcuts, the iPhone offers you one. Write “omw” in a text or somewhere and “on the way”.
To upload your own shortcuts, go to “Settings”. Under “General”, look for “Keyboard” and then “Text Replacement”. Tap the plus sign and the desired sentence. Then, in your shortcut and “save”. I uploaded “See you later,” so when you “syl,” the iPhone completes the total sentence.
GO BEYOND THE REPAIR SHOP
A reader told me how he had made fun of the local repair shop. They tried to sell him a new computer. He insisted that his old path may be fixed.
It all started with an error message saying the fan was no longer working.
“The repairman told me I might not fix it because of its age and the rarity of the pieces,” the reader wrote. number, and I looked it up on eBay. “
He did it for $18.
“I’m not competent to do the repair myself,” he said, “and I don’t have the right equipment for the job. So if an older man wants an old computer repaired through this store, the only one I can get the domain: he’s a “bloated jerk” to whom you can seamlessly sell a PC when the store doesn’t need to do the repair. Even when the mandatory component is known and can be obtained at a moderate price,” he added.
Whats next?
“When they have you at the end, they know it. I put a six-inch fan next to the tower vents and turned it on. Cool the tower and they can be turned on!”
