How Internet access changes when you travel abroad

Posted on January 30, 2026

When you travel to a new country, you expect things to be different. You know the food will be unfamiliar, the shops will work different hours, and even the way people greet each other might be new. But what many travelers don’t consider is how different the internet can be abroad.

At home, getting online is usually a breeze. You just hop on your home Wi-Fi or use your mobile data, and you’re connected. But when you’re traveling, what was once a simple task can become a frustrating challenge, even for seasoned globetrotters.   [Read more…]

Question from Connie:  Hi, Rick. I have a friend on Facebook that I’ve been friends with for a really long time (probably 10 years or more).

Her posts used to show up in my Newsfeed every time she posted something new but for the last several months they haven’t. The only way I can see her posts is to search for her name and visit her page.

Is there something I can do to make her posts start showing up in my Newsfeed again? She doesn’t post very often but when she does I really want to see them.  [Read more…]

Question from Marge:  I’ve recently begun dabbling in photography with an eye towards going pro at some point. I have a question for you if you don’t mind.

Is there a way to rename all the files in a certain folder to a common base name?

My camera always names the pictures with the same base filename but just changes the numbers on the end. That makes it hard to know what the pictures in a folder are of without looking at the pictures.

Understanding the Datacenter Proxy for Better Internet Performance

Posted on January 27, 2026

A datacenter proxy acts as a fast intermediary using IP addresses that businesses, rather than ISPs, own between your computer and the internet. These tools run on massive servers, bringing incredible bandwidth and very quick response times to the users. Website owners categorize these IPs as being from a professional data center because they aren’t residential.

What are the implications for your everyday web surfing or business tasks? On one hand, they deliver power.
