Cybersecurity sees everything

We should mean almost, digitally. With serious considerations to best practices, widely acceptable principles including that of, directly and indirectly related, applicable laws and, if any, for the sake of thoughtful and sensible transparency. Almost everything, in this case is about, as nations and industries are already taking it as an initiative to protect entities such as people, enterprises, assets, properties including but not limited to information, which is the sole subject of information security specialists but it's reality is more complicated than arguing on which security can cover which area. Technology practitioners should appreciate it. Those who goes beyond a few specializations could realized it and make an effective position paramount to a cybersecurity responsibility. And the size of that responsibility may mean breaking and delegating it with various roles, with those who are effective and prudent in their jobs.

Progressive web applications

 Just another way to make life easier in a technology environment. 

If you have been using internet browsers for your business applications i.e. ERP and technology platforms i.e. webmail, and it becomes tiring to go to your bookmarks every time, worse if you are still typing the URL for every website you visit repeatedly, then PWA may just be the answer for that.

PWA works with any general purpose computers like Windows, MacOS and Linux and with your mobile devices, too. When you are in mobile and having a hard time finding the PWA setup, simply switch to desktop screen and do it from there. 

How about if I already have dedicated applications and I don't necessarily used internet browsers? There is nothing we can do if there is no other way to do your work except for using the given application. In other cases like mail clients i.e. Outlook and Thunderbird, when your connection is rough you might want to try using PWA.

Applications like mail clients are heavier compared to PWA. The traffic that go through such applications uses some protocols i.e. SMTP and IMAP or POP to send and receive messages. PWA as in any web browser simply uses HTTPS, which is also what makes cloud computing a promising technology, appealing to new end-users to explore and adopt, is so straightforward, not only on the onset. Even when you build your system in the cloud, you simply go through the same path and the strain, due to limited resource on your end, that you may suppose may have impact to your activity, is barely felt.

For a bad internet connection, PWA would make access a little faster when dealing with such kind of services. 

Let's make this quick and be done with it.

Take note that the website, or any particular page, that you are trying to install must have already been applied and supported with PWA. Without this, you may not be able to enable PWA for it. Usually, you'd see them disabled or grayed out. 

You need to be on the website in order to install PWA with it. When it's done, your PWA could be seen as an icon in your device's "home".

If you are using

- Brave, go to menu by clicking to the three stacked horizontal lines, to the top right, find "More tools" then "Create shortcut".

- Chrome, same as Brave. 

- Edge, go to menu by clicking the three (3) dotted horizontal lines, to the top right, find "Apps" then "Install this site as an app".

- Firefox, go to these URLs (pick which is preferable for you, either 1 or 2) to learn more how to apply PWA with it.

- Opera, in the address bar, type "opera://flags" then search for "PWA", using lower case is fine, and you'll see "desktop PWAs app home page" then find and select "Enabled" from the drop down bar. Click "Relaunch" button below right. That's a start but the capability, as of posting, isn't available yet (we'll update this for sure).

This is just the overview of how to use progressive web applications. Later on, actually some are already here, and there will be more ways to make an online application to be installed entirely offline.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all?

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...
