Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Plug-in solar is no longer a grey area. Kits under 800VA are now legal to buy and connect to a standard socket; no installer required. The government has been promising this since March. Now it is finally here. But legal does not mean simple. The market has split into three very different products, sold under one loose banner. Solar-only kits that plug straight into a socket — these are then ones that have just been made legal. Then there are battery-only power stations that store grid electricity for later, which still need professional installation. Lastly, there are solar-plus-battery systems that do both. Each behaves differently. Each saves a different amount. And, crucially, only the first one is actually covered by the new rules. I started my solar journey about a year ago, initially with batteries and now branching into solar panels. But with the adve...

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Felicia Anthonio first encountered the impact of internet shutdowns in 2017. While working as an intern tracking press freedom violations, she was prevented from verifying information on the ground or contacting people in the area when disruptions were imposed across Anglophone Cameroon.

Almost a decade later, Anthonio serves as the #KeepItOn global campaign manager at digital rights organization Access Now. To mark the 10th anniversary of the coalition's work, the team has launched the "Sound of the Silenced" initiative . It features eight firsthand accounts from people across the globe, illustrating how shutdowns isolate communities and endanger li...

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The new reMarkable Paper Pure is an impressive handwriting tablet, but it's facing stiff competition in the e-ink slate market. If you're thinking of buying one, it's worth taking a look at the alternatives to make sure there's not an option that'd be a better fit for you. We've tested several excellent e-ink tablets; I've rounded up our favorites below. The reMarkable Paper Pure has a 10.3-inch screen, which is the most common size for this kind of tablet. However, if you'd prefer more writing real estate, the reMarkable Paper Pro has a more generous 11.8-inch screen. Conversely, if you want something compact, the smartphone-sized Kobo Libra Colour and reMarkable Paper Pro Move are small enough to slip into a back pocket. Although many of today's best ereaders are waterproof, once you add writing into the mix, waterpr...
