  • Travel Router – Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is used to pass the authentication information between the supplicant (the Wi-Fi workstation) and the authentication server (Microsoft IAS or other) (Amazon)
    • Comparison of Travel Routers (gi.inet.com)
    • Carrying case for router (Amazon)
    • Travel power cube – 6 power outlets followed by 3 (Amazon)
  • Did you know you that Windows has a built in camera QR code reader?
  • Guava caching libraries in Java (Github)
    • Caffiene is a more recent alternatitive (Github)
  • Generative AI for beginners – “Learn the fundamentals of building Generative AI applications with our 18-lesson comprehensive course by Microsoft Cloud Advocates.”
