Wireless Router

It is early days of wireless IT communication in Sri Lanka.
Years ago I bought wireless router.
I had to go Singapore to get one.
Fortunately my visit there was on holiday.
I had enough time to study the trends.
I could not find a single guy using Linux there.

This was early days of Google's attempt at Android based on Linux.

 
I could never figure out the extent to which its influence will dominate, the.

Mobiles were controlled by parent companies, Nokia for example with different operating systems and the market was dominated by Apple and late Steve Job.

Windows had not entered the mobile world.

 
When I returned I found a simple USB battery charger with wireless router.
It is very useful both for charging my mobile when main electric outlet is not available and also looking for a wireless hot spot.
The old router I bought is in its package box, since years later Telecoms offered its own wireless router and  the old router with finicky software was not compatible.
So when you buy hardware one has to think few years ahead of your time.

Is it Possible to prevent Cyber-Crimes?

Is it Possible to prevent Cyber-Crimes?

The simple answer is NO.

But can you do something to minimize it?

YES one can do a lot.

1. Use Linux at home.

2. Use Windows at office only.

Let the office guys who were not prudent enough to use Linux as a base pay the price.

3. Do not use Flash Drives.

There are many good uses of Flash Drives for example Knoppix on a Stick.

4. Do not share Flash Drives.

5. Have at least three emails from different sources.

One I call the junk email.

The second I call the friendly email with minimal sharing.

The third I call the security email, no sharing.

6. Have a good password, longer the better.

7. Have a method to remember the password. 

I forget them often.

8. Use cloud as a storage media.

They are good at thier own security.

9. Use your mobile with care, only a cloud client.

10. The most reliable method is not to use the computer to communicate.

It is far better to give a call and visit the person in need, in person.

Few good friends are better than millions at the facebook.

I do not use facebook or any social media.

The blog post is my only entry point of distinction.

I do not care how many visit it but take a good note of what other people are interested in.
