    WIFI connection without router?

    The most important performance factor of any cable modem is the DOCSIS version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS The latest Spectrum modems use DOCSIS 4.0 with a max upstream speed of 10 Gbit/s, and 6 Gbit/s downstream. So no matter how fast your ISP's bandwidth, the bottleneck is the modem...

    Are there gremlins in my computer?

    There's no such thing as total anonymity, and those are all correct statements in the review which are acceptable to me. I only have the FF browser installed on this PC I exclusively use for surfing the web, so the only thing my ISP knows is that I am always interacting with Cloudflare. However...

    Are there gremlins in my computer?

    The extension installed on my FF browser encrypts everything before it goes out through my ISP's modem and its received by my proxy which forwards it to its final destination. Likewise, everything that comes into my FF browser first stops at my proxy, gets encrypted and is forwarded to my FF...

    WIFI connection without router?

    I never use built-in wifi with ISP modems, I plug in my own router. Nothing fancy, a good ole $30 USD n-router, and speed/reliability is excellent. If you have the modem's password, (usually found on the modem's bottom or back), you can login to it and disable the built-in wifi's radio...

    BTW, I was a military brat, born on an American Air Force Base near Madrid, Spain and then became a squid in the 7th Fleet as a YN stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. Agreed, to each his own. Never doubt the courage of the French, they discovered that snails are edible :)

    The MS Bounty Program was made aware of @isladogs Security Challenge. I provided them the link and screenshots of all his webpages related to the demo challenge.

    The idea was not already rolling from within MS. When has MS marketing given much thought to Access?... They still don't mention it in all their Office marketing. In year 2015, I initially posted the idea in Access UserVoice and the then MS Access Team admin, Michal Bar closed it. Then I...

    It's all good Doc, I'm not offended. My relationship with Access is like Marmite, "Love it, or hate it" ;) I know I come off too strong and obnoxious, but I am actually fond about Access and wish MS would do something to improve its security. So I am using reverse psychology to get their...

    What's the difference, I was still able to export all data that was decrypted for users to manipulate via a form they use for viewing/adding/editing records. If you think the image I posted is doctored up, try it for yourselves. The bottom line is no matter what you do to "secure" your accde...
