Hammer Time
When you can’t touch:
screen, site, and internet by WiFi
This week on Battle Born Tech we return from medical leave with 3 callers who can’t touch this: phone screen, wifi, and a website.
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!
Dee wants to clean her screen but there are many things that just can’t touch this.
Steve (and others) can use this command line (Terminal in Windows 11 or Powershell in Windows 10) to save a static website:
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent yoursite.com
If you get an error that wget is not recognized, use wINget or Chocolatey to install it:
winget install JernejSimoncic.Wget
choco install wget
There are other ways most likely using eternallybored build.
If you use the Wayback Machine, after creating a free account and logging in make sure you select the outlinks option and be aware it only goes one level deep.
You might be able to get access by appealing to the Register (using WHOIS) information to find who holds the information and proving ownership.
Bryan can’t find his wifi after moving his computer. Did he leave it in the car? WiFi is slowly becoming standard, see some of the standard definitions at the right.
“Apple EchoSystem?”
“Dumb Questions are the best because I usually get those.”
“We don’t have foldable glass…yet”
“The better the screen; the harder to clean.”
“Download quick as a bunny”
“Declare website bankruptcy”
“Borrowed a cup of internet.”
“They don’t like being moved.”
“Whatever you unplugged; plug back in.”
“They like to go for a car ride sometimes”
All em-dashes — were made by the common number of human fingers on the keypad—ALT+0151—no A.I. was involved in their creation.
BATTLE PLANS
with help from Claude.ai
Micofiber cloth
A cleaning cloth woven from synthetic fibers many times thinner than a human hair, which lets it trap dust, oil, and smudges rather than just pushing them around the way a regular cloth does. It’s the standard recommendation for cleaning screens, lenses, and electronics because it lifts debris without scratching delicate surfaces.
ARM
(Advanced RISC Machines) A family of processor designs built around the idea of doing more with less power. Originally developed in Britain in the 1980s, ARM chips now run most smartphones and an increasing number of laptops because they deliver strong performance without draining the battery.
Centrino
Intel’s brand name, launched in 2003, for laptops that had Wi-Fi built directly into the machine rather than requiring a separate add-on card. It was the moment wireless internet stopped being an accessory and started being a standard feature of portable computers.
SOC
(System on a Chip) — A single piece of silicon that combines the processor, graphics, wireless radio, and other components that used to be separate chips spread across a circuit board. Packing everything onto one chip is why modern phones and thin laptops can be so small and power-efficient.
SnapDragon
A family of processors from Qualcomm that are built as a true System on a Chip, meaning the CPU, graphics, AI engine, and Wi-Fi radio are all fused together onto a single piece of silicon rather than being separate components wired across a board. Originally designed for smartphones, Snapdragon chips are now powering a new generation of Windows laptops, bringing phone-like battery life and always-on connectivity to the PC world..
Wayback Machine
A free online archive at web.archive.org that has been quietly photographing websites since 1996, saving billions of pages for public access. If a site goes down, moves, or changes, chances are the Wayback Machine has an older copy you can still visit.
