It is frustrating when WiFi vanishes behind a brick wall. Standard extenders often make things worse by repeating a weak signal. Try using Powerline adapters or a mesh system with nodes in clear line of sight to improve WiFi for thick walls. I wrote a guide on how to fix these dead zones here: https://gwizit.com/go/atCcX7y #HomeNetworking #TechTips #WiFiHelp

Changing your password after a breach feels like a win but hackers often leave a gift behind. They use malicious email forwarding rules to copy your mail even after you lock them out. It is a quiet way to keep access. Check your mailbox rules for strange names like a single period. I wrote a full breakdown here: https://gwizit.com/go/NUV51LY #CyberSecurity #TechTips #EmailSafety

Go to the Android folder on your phone. Browse for WhatsApp media & delete all the sent photos & videos. I recently freed more than 9GB of storage. Why do I still use WhatsApp? All my family members, relatives, & friends use it. WhatsApp is the default sharing app in India & is used for all types of work. #tech #technology #app #WhatsApp #TechTips #FediHelp #Meta #chat #ChatApp #BigTech #software

As i sit on the Bangalore office on Day 4 of 5, some valuable lessons I think I knew but had forgotton because of the lack of travel..

1. My work Windows laptop the HP Elitebook people who use outlook edition has 3hrs battery life.. I had to charge it twice.
2. USB2.0 is king outside of my tech bubble. While all of my (and probably most of your) devices are new USB3.0 the outside world still relies on USB2.0 connectors in planes and power strips in offices.
3. I've moved my work life for this trip to my Samsung tablet (Onenote, Outlook, Teams and Edge) because its easier to take hand written notes in meetings.
4. No one likes the smart arse with the little rectangle thing recording the meeting and transcriing it with AI..
5. Having plex and youtube media downloaded to the same tablet is a life saver..
6. Saily, Nomad choose what you will, a local eSIM is a requirement... especially with tethering..

Some other things ive noted about India in no particular order

• Paying with a QR code is a thing.. had an issue paying for the Uber from the Airport to the hotel because only Revolt provides such a service
• Doing anything from buying a McDonalds to getting a vistors visa requires a local phone number..
• Potholes take priority over actual usable roads in Bangalores suburbs
• I've eaten soooo much local food, and its all soooo good.
