Call the Graybeard
This week on Battle Born Tech we have Dennis with Linux question (not Larry or Lee!) with printer connections. Robert trying to send a fax (to 1995?) when most folks don’t have printers much less phone lines. Finally, Brian wonders what he did wrong that eBay has broken its connection up with him.
We are in the studio Saturdays 9 am to 11 am Pacific. Call direct to studio then or anytime at 775-241-3571 and set up a time to battle your tech!

BATTLE PLANS
with help by Claude.ai
Doorbell Dash
Called Ding Dong Dash or Ring and Run is a prank when miscreates ring a doorbell and run away before the door is opened wasting residents time.
DDos
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a malicious attempt to overwhelm a server or network by flooding it with massive amounts of traffic using armies of bots, making it unavailable to legitimate users — similar to a “ding dong dash” prank, but instead of one person ringing a doorbell and running, thousands of bots are hammering a target all at once with no intention of a real connection.
TraceRoute
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that maps the path your internet traffic takes from your computer to a destination, showing each “hop” along the way.
CCleaner
Originally Crap Cleaner written by a non-windows user for his girlfriend to clear out the trial and add-on programs, it has been sold and resold to be a registry cleaner, temp file killer, and orphan program file finder.
Wireshark
Wireshark is a free, open-source network protocol analyzer that allows users to capture and inspect data packets traveling across a network in real time. It is widely used by network administrators, security professionals, and developers to troubleshoot network issues, analyze traffic, and detect potential security threats.
PCL
PCL (Printer Control Language) is a generic, universal page description language developed by HP that serves as a standard communication protocol between computers and printers. It is widely supported across a broad range of printer brands and models.
