How to Encrypt a Password Around and Merge Multiple PDFs in Ubuntu
For some reason, this is way harder than it should be. I thought I would be able to find a simple ‘pdf stitcher’ software in the Software Centre and just put them in there, arrange them and then export to PDF – with a password.

How to Flash OpenWRT onto a Zsun Card
Background EDIT JAN 7, 2019Warning! Before beginning this tutorial, note that I have **fried** two Zsun devices nearly immediately after doing these steps. My theory appears to be correct that as soon as you flash to OpenWRT the default power output is way, way too high and so it starts heating up and frying it. Within about 15 minutes of…
Fixing Wrong Monitor Display in Ubuntu 18.04
What a pain in the hindquarters… I lost about 2 hours of my life after I plugged in a Samsung 40″ monitor after having been using a Samsung 20″ Monitor.

Stop Fighting Apple-Just Force this Disclosure on buyers!
I’m super bored reading these kind of stories. I’ve been free from such software and hardware for many years so at this point it’s just boring. However, I do have a solution instead of trying to sue them for monopolizing or overcharging: just force a really simple, plain language disclosure document before the sale of any Apple Inc device. Here…
