From Clock Radios to Code Tweaks: My Journey Through Tech

Hello world! Welcome to my corner of the internet—a space where tech, curiosity, and a little bit of nostalgia come together. I’ve been a tech enthusiast for as long as I can remember. My journey started with something simple: a clock radio. As a kid, I was mesmerized by its lights, its sounds, its ability to do something. That fascination quickly evolved. A Game Boy entered the scene next, then my first cellphone, and soon after, a PC—and that’s where the real magic began. My first PC introduced me to the vast world of the internet. I dove headfirst into tech news blogs, spent countless hours on instant messengers, traded files on LimeWire (ah, the good old days), and discovered the rabbit hole of overclocking and tweaking hardware. That exploration led me to Linux, and the open-source world opened up like a second universe. I began burning Linux distributions onto DVDs—not just for myself, but for friends who shared the same nerdy spark. It wasn’t just about the software—it was about...

The Future of AI: Collaboration, Convergence, and a New Age of Work

As we look toward the future of artificial intelligence, one thing seems inevitable: large technology companies will begin to pool their resources and collaborate more intentionally to develop increasingly powerful and evolved AI systems. We’ve already seen how effective industry-wide cooperation can be. Take Matter, for example—an open-source connectivity standard developed through the combined efforts of Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and others. Matter enables smart home devices to communicate more securely, reliably, and seamlessly, regardless of brand. This kind of collaboration benefits both the ecosystem and the end user, setting a precedent for what’s possible when competitors work together. It’s easy to imagine AI following a similar trajectory. As access to data increases, and as frameworks, hardware, and regulations evolve, the foundation of many AI systems may begin to converge. While the final outputs won’t be identical—because of architectural differences, use case speci...

How 5G Really Works — And Why It Still Isn’t Everywhere

Introduction Since the term 5G first made headlines, it has been hailed as a technological revolution promising lightning-fast download speeds, ultra-low latency, and the foundation for transformative applications like autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and smart cities. However, despite years of buildup, many users still find themselves relying on 4G or LTE in most places. This post explains what 5G actually is, how it works, and why its global rollout is still incomplete. What Is 5G? 5G is the fifth generation of mobile network technology, succeeding 4G LTE. Developed to support the exponential growth in connected devices, data usage, and demand for high-speed connectivity, 5G is designed to deliver: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) – Faster internet speeds, especially for smartphones. Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) – Critical for applications like autonomous driving and remote surgery. Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) – Enabling large-scale Internet of...

Personal Privacy Tips in the Age of Surveillance

In an increasingly connected world, privacy is no longer a default — it’s a decision. Surveillance is now baked into everything from our smartphones to public transportation systems. Governments monitor metadata, advertisers track behavioral patterns, and even our refrigerators can log our habits. Whether you’re trying to avoid corporate profiling, government surveillance, or just digital stalkers, maintaining personal privacy in the 2020s requires vigilance, tools, and good habits. Most people leak private information daily without realizing it — through weak passwords, connected devices, open WiFi networks, or careless sharing of personal details. This data can be aggregated, sold, hacked, or weaponized. Even simple conveniences like autofill, smart assistants, and cloud backups come with hidden trade-offs that chip away at personal autonomy. The good news? You don’t need to disappear completely to regain control. By combining basic digital hygiene with secure tools and behavioral ch...

The Rise and Fall of Fully Electric Vehicles: Are We Really Ready?

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been heralded as the future of transportation—a clean, silent, high-tech solution to fossil fuel dependency. For a time, it seemed that the age of the combustion engine was nearly over. Major automakers made bold announcements, cities planned bans on petrol vehicles, and incentives pushed EVs to mainstream appeal. But as the excitement matures into scrutiny, cracks in the vision are becoming increasingly hard to ignore. Are fully electric vehicles truly ready to replace fossil fuel-based vehicles? Or has the world moved too quickly toward a technology that still needs time, innovation, and realism? EV Technology: Great Promise, But Still Incomplete Range Anxiety: Still a Problem While modern EVs like the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air offer 350–500 miles on a single charge under ideal conditions, real-world usage paints a different picture. In cold climates, for instance, range can drop by 30–40% due to battery inefficiency and cabin heating. Towing, high-spee...
