Last December I received an interesting bug report from the VWO support team. The download time for one of the analytical reports for a large corporate client seemed prohibitive. And since this is my area of responsibility, I immediately focused on solving the problem. Background To make it clear what I'm talking about, I'll tell you quite a bit about VWO. It is a platform […]
Some time ago I wrote a comparative test of 4G routers for summer cottages. The topic turned out to be in demand, and a Russian manufacturer of devices for working in 2G/3G/4G networks approached me. The more interesting it was to test the Russian router and compare it with the winner of the last test - Zyxel 3316. I must say right away that I do my best to support the domestic […]
