After several months of poking around, it is now possible to remove PLDTHOMEFIBR prefix from the PLDT provided FiberHome ONU. Credits to the enterprising users at TipidPC for figuring out how to access the WebUI after PLDT locked everyone out, leading me to telnet access.
Ten years ago, Conroe Core2Duo was released, superceding the P4 NetBurst architecture. This marked a change from the megahertz chasing era into the trend of more instructions-per-cycle (IPC) and efficiency. It kept the original LGA775 socket, moving pins from the more expensive processor to the less expensive motherboard, as first introduced with the Pentium 4 Northwood or Prescott family, if I’m not mistaken. This processor also marked a huge leap in performance, not seen again until Sandy Bridge.
Whenever it’s late at night and I feel sad and/or hungry, I eat food that can make me feel full and therefore happy. Or at least a little bit.
I hate mornings.
Wait, no. I hate waking up. Period.
Am I toxic to my friends? A hug would be nice right now.
Feels really nice to have a cat watch over you, specially while you sleep.
I’ve met people from other countries, and sometimes, I get to see their desktop. I’ve noticed that there is a set of software commonly used by people of a specific country. Granted, this is behavior is not new because of market segmentation and all that, but hey, it’s nice to notice.
These observations are in no way rigorous and scientific and are solely based on experiences. Still a good topic to look at though.
Do you have a common set for your country?
I know spam tries to be smart in trying to evade filters and all, but really? AOL? Are you even trying? Go contact your spamlord and tell them the spambot or script they sold you is two decades behind.
While browsing through my social media accounts, I noticed that there were a little less than the usual number of people. One too less, to be exact. There may be others, but I might have missed.
For those who aren’t familiar with number porting, it is a process where if a person has a telephone number, that telephone number will not change even if that person changes carriers throughout its lifetime. The telephone number follows the person, to put it in another way. Telcos in the Philippines, unfortunately, do not offer such a service. It is a generally accepted social fact that telephone numbers (cell numbers, to be specific), are transient. One person may change numbers anytime during their lifetime and the work with re-establishing a telephone number-to-person association is accepted as a natural part of the process.
While we are not offered such a provision, it is possible to emulate this behavior with a few tools:
