Can anyone give @mooditate a hand? He writes/toots:

"need a non bonded vdsl modem that isn't as instantly hackable as a technicolor 1100. and a new ISP"

"also in the market for advice on the easiest to install router/tomato version combo. any hope for me?"

General question for the Eng folk out there:

So, looking into a possible new job and I’ve written functional specs for online platforms and style guides, but I was wondering
Is it difficult to learn to write API documentation ?

It would be for a popular finance app with what I’m assuming are intense security concerns.

Thanks in advance!

My MacBook’s gone cray after installing Mojave.

When I’d plug it in to the power adapter it froze my keyboard and trackpad and the bluetooth screen came up requesting I connect a BT mouse and keyboard.

I got through it once with s magic keyboard, but no mas. I reset the SCM and the PRAM and now all I get on restart are these two screens alternating.

Does anyone know what’s going on??
