Dumb to managed switch conversion (2010)

SpritesMods .com Dumb to managed switch conversion - Intro Intro When I got my new house, one of the things I did besides painting and redecorating was rip the old cat2 telephone cable out of the walls and replace it by modern cat5e cabling. I've done a spot of network engineering in the past, so I had a fairly good idea what I would like to have as a network: GBit everywhere, separate vlans for the adsl modem, wired clients and the wireless accesspoint...

Higher iPhone 17 prices, but Pro storage will start at 256GB, says leaker

A leaker with a decent track record has backed reports of higher pricing for the iPhone 17 line-up compared to the iPhone 16, but says that Apple will be cushioning the blow somewhat.

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak hints at a serious upgrade for power users

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use LPDDR5X RAM running at 10.7 Gbps. This would be around 11.5% faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 9.6 Gbps RAM. The speed matches Micron’s latest LPDDR5X chip, which is up to 20% more power-efficient than its predecessor. A new leak suggests Samsung’s next Ultra flagship could get a boost to both performance and battery life. If accurate, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will ship with cutting-edge LPDDR5X RAM that not o

The end is near for flagships with a meagre 128GB storage

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may start at 256GB of internal storage, eliminating the older 128GB option. A $50 price increase is expected alongside the bumped-up base storage tier. Apple’s move could pressure remaining Android flagships, such as the Galaxy S and Pixel lineups, to ditch low-storage models and finally start at 256GB. Android flagships have long moved to higher storage options, with many offering as much as 1TB of storage. While external stora

Galaxy Tab S11 leak spills all the details, and it could be good news for US users

Earlier this year, we found evidence that Samsung was working on at least three Android tablets. These tablets would include two successors to the Galaxy Tab S10 and an S10 Lite model. Last month, a Samsung executive confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy Tab S11 series is on the way and that the release would follow “our traditional cadence.” A new leak may have now revealed the specifications, launch window, and European prices. According to a report from Dealabs , the Galaxy Tab S11,

This $180 mini projector has no business being this good for the price

The N2 Mini is one of the easiest projectors to setup I've used, and delivers crisp 1080p video without much fuss.

Scientists Find Evidence That Aging Is Contagious

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies Eventually, aging comes for us all — but new evidence suggests that in key ways, it may be a contagious condition. In a provocative new study published in the journal Metabolism, scientists from South Korea and the United States found, while doing studies on human cells and with mice, that injecting the DNA messenger protein HMGB1 from an older individual can result in processes that very much look like aging. Though it typically lives within cell nuclei and

The redesign features a card-style user interface and a rearranged settings menu with new descriptions. Gboard is one of those apps I cannot live without, so much so that I even install it on my iPhones (which sounds blasphemous, but it works great). On Android phones, Google is working to bring a Material 3 Expressive redesign for Gboard settings, so you can enjoy a co

11 Best Chromebooks of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can vary. Processor: For the best experience, you should avoid older Chromebooks with Intel Celeron processors. The Chromebook Plus specifications offer a good baseline to guarantee speedy performance, and I’d recommend going with at least an Intel Core i3, Core i5, or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor. Just watch out for overspending on configurations with Intel Core i7 processors unless you need the extra horse

The Best-Worst 8GB GPU of 2025

Over the past few months, we've spent a lot of time testing the new 8GB graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia, and we've found them to be quite disappointing.

The Nintendo Switch 2’s Biggest Problem Is Already Storage

The Nintendo Switch 2 is fantastic—already a contender for the biggest gaming hardware launch of 2025. I'm still playing it daily—monkeying around in Donkey Kong Bananza, enjoying tearing up its destructible game worlds, whether I'm playing on the big screen or tucked up in bed with handheld mode. Unfortunately, just two months on from release, my console’s drive is already full. Since my copy of Bananza is digital, I've had to start juggling game installs to experience the great ape’s latest a

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr

Pkgbase Removes FreeBSD Base System Feature

Hi, after short discussion here: - https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2485 I got REALLY concerned. One of THE features and selling points of a FreeBSD UNIX system is the 'untouchable' Base System. Without PKGBASE all the features are preserved. But when You convert to PKGBASE its ... GONE! Consider this command: # pkg delete -af What it does? It removes all third party packages on 'classic' FreeBSD system without touching the FreeBSD Base System. What the same "pkg delete -af" command does on

Netgear launches its most affordable Wi-Fi 7 mesh system

Netgear has launched its most affordable Wi‑Fi 7 mesh system yet, the Orbi 370. The headline price is $350 for a router and two satellites, which is extremely competitive. A quick look at the specs, however, reveals several trade‑offs that make the lower cost possible. The company says the Orbi 370 is “designed for customers with moderately demanding Wi‑Fi needs,” claiming the system’s total bandwidth is 5 Gbps. However, since it carries only a 2.5‑gigabit internet port, the maximum speed to a

Apple beats iCloud storage appeal over ‘deceptive’ paid upgrades

Lawsuits against Apple are filed all the time, all over the world. But one proposed class action over the company’s alleged “deceptive” iCloud storage plans was just shot down by a US appeals court. Here are the details. Plaintiff claimed advertised iCloud storage amounts were misleading, but court disagreed Jonathan Stempel writes at Reuters: A U.S. federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected claims by Apple customers that the iPhone maker gave them less iCloud data storage than they paid fo

Cursor’s New Bugbot Is Designed to Save Vibe Coders From Themselves

But the competitive landscape for AI-assisted coding platforms is crowded. Startups Windsurf, Replit, and Poolside also sell AI code-generation tools to developers. Cline is a popular open-source alternative.

Most of these code editors are relying on a combination of AI models built by major tech companies, including OpenAI, Google, an

Amazon’s Fire Tablets, Tested, So You Don’t Have To (2025)

The Fire HD 10 is Amazon’s best tablet. The current model dates from 2023, which means it likely will get some kind of update in 2025, but we don't expect anything more than a processor and RAM upgrade. The current Octa-core processor is plenty fast enough for everyday tasks like web browsing and watching movies, and the 3-GB of RAM helps in browsing the web with many tabs. The Fire HD 10 also has a full HD (1080p) screen, making it better for watching those Prime videos. That said, this is not
