The cloud is everywhere. Many of us trust cloud solutions for data storage, computing resources or for centralised management of smart home devices. But most of the people using cloud resources are not aware, that they are in dependency of their service provider. And what happens, if a provider cuts off his cloud service? Like Bosch did with their Spexor devices, their quite expensive "mobile alarm system" Thousands of Spexor devices will become expensive electronic trash on July 1st.

Thunderbird plans to launch open source alternatives to Gmail, Google Calendar and Office 365

Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open source email client, calendar, and contact application that’s been available for more than two decades. It first launched at a time when Gmail wasn’t a thing and most web-based email service providers offered only a few megabytes of storage space. But the demand for desktop-only email applications has diminished in recent years. So now the Thunderbird  […]
