3D printed Newton 2100 Battery….TBC

Techun.Limited

A good friend and I were stilling in the office one day reminiscing about the “old” cool technology we remembers in our younger days. Over a few days and some ebay’ing, there was an Apple Newton 2100 winging its way 😀 When the Newton 2×00 was originally introduced, it came standard with 4 x AA sized alkaline batteries that were loaded into a battery tray. Alkaline, rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries may be used. An optional rechargeable NiMH pack could also be purchased. Sometime after the initial introduction, things got swapped the…

JIVR bike – Folding | Electric | Chainless Test Ride

Techun.Limited

All things electric catch my eye and I was looking at bikes for commuting to work and to potter around nearer to home, folding was a must for getting on the tube. I didn’t want just a normal bike, it needed design and tech at the level of a Tesla car level. My searches shaped my browser ads and all things being big data and targeted adverts, JIVR popped up on my Instagram feeds, really I don’t mind, especially when its something I want to look at 🙂 I registered my interest on the…

OnePlus 6 – WOW!

Techun.Limited

So not even a year after I purchased my OnePlus 5, I now have the opportunity to get the OnePlus 6. I didn’t bother with the 5T, yes I liked the look/New screen and did feel a little cheesed off that after 5 months there was a slightly better model…. but thats technology for you and I did think a less of OnePlus 🙁 I didn’t technically need a new phone, the 5 was doing a good job but seeing as the hand sets are about £400 to £500 if…

Mount remote ftp directory host locally into Linux file system using curlftpfs

Techun.Limited

Morning, just a quick post, while working  on a project for work I needed to get meta data from an FTP site, I didn’t want to download the while site and the tool we are working on at would can scan File Server but not FTP directly…..a little but of a pickle until I stumbled on curlftpfs for linux. In a nutshell it uses FUSE (virtual file system in linux) to present the FTP site to the local machine…..I can then scan as if it were a local share……DONE!  (can also…

Edimax RG21S AC2600 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router/Access Point for £64.98@ebuyer.com

Techun.Limited

So while working on a project for work I needed to test cheap and easy access of a machine and like all things IT related, nothing ever goes smoothly (especially when you have VirginMedia SuperHub3 in the mix). I was thinking I could install the VPN service as part of server 2012, use a dynamic DNS client, enable port forwarding on the superhub and be done with it all. Not so, after failing at every turn I narrowed down the issue to it being the ports I wanted open and passed not…
