A site won't open, but the internet works. What has happened?
Four different causes with the same symptom, how to tell them apart in five minutes, and the official tool for finding out whether that name is blocked in Italy.
The problem isn't you, it's the jargon. You don't need to know anything to start. Every article begins with a question anyone might ask, explains the hard words in a separate box and walks you through it step by step. If you get to the end and it's still not solved, write to me and I'll rewrite it better.
Four different causes with the same symptom, how to tell them apart in five minutes, and the official tool for finding out whether that name is blocked in Italy.
A page that measures what actually reaches this device, right now, on this network, and then translates it: whether it is enough for a video call, for a film, for working from home.

Why a 1 GB file doesn't arrive in ten seconds, why two tests in a row give different results, and when that number is actually worth something against your provider.

The message comes from a real contact because their account has already been taken. And the code they ask you for travels the wrong way: that is the detail that takes the scam apart.
Artificial intelligence without the science fiction
AI detectors exist and some work well. But the figures they advertise were measured in English, and for Italian there is no independent verification at all.
Three names you hear everywhere, all doing much the same thing. What actually separates them, when the free version is enough, and when a subscription earns its money.
ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are all built on language models. Here is how they really work, with no formulas, and why they occasionally get things wrong with total confidence.
Everyone talks about it. Do you actually need it?
Technically it can, and on almost every model you would not notice. But the right question is a different one, and the answer lies in the gap between recording and publishing.
They cost less than a smartphone and are everywhere. What they really print, what filament and electricity cost, how loud they are and what they do to the air indoors.
A clip has snapped, a bracket is missing, you need an adapter. The four ways to get a part printed without buying anything, what they cost and which one suits you.
