UNFETTERED SPECULATIONOF ALL THE tech tasks that we’re called upon to master in this modern
age there’s one that I always find more of a chore than almost anything
else... Networking.
If there is one technology you want to work and do so quietly and
without fuss it’s the ability of all our devices, personal and desktop and
entertainment, to just seamlessly work together. It’s one of those things
you never even notice, once everything’s logged in... Until it stops
working, and your familiar world abruptly drops away.
This happened to me the other day – my flatmate was at home when
the net dropped out. Turned out to be a problem with the building’s
connection (or possibly the NBN), but it killed the connectivity of the
smart TV, consoles, and every PC in the house...
So if anything like that happens again, and I know it’s not the building,
this issue of Te c h Li f e will be one of the things I reach for.
On top of our home networking guide, we’ve got comparisons of
wireless security cameras, and guides to automating and securing your
smart home devices. It’s time to tighten things up with a safer and better
