sandon.itYears ago I wrote about the Logitech’s LVUSBSta.sys driver that corrupted the USB and audio stack when installed. For a long time, I no longer bought Logitech because even if the hardware is mostly good, software was not. For a while I bought Microsoft devices, which usually worked without issues. Now Microsoft got out from […]
Microsoft is going to replace – again – the basic Windows email application. After Outlook Express and Windows mail, that despite some huge vulnerabilities were quite usable, the simple but adequate for a touch UI interface Mail in Windows 8, and the very limited and ugly Mail in Windows 10, it’s time of Outlook for […]
Ho dedicato una pagina al ricordo dell’azienda di mio nonno e mio padre, la Sandon Utensileria, che dal 1936 per ottantadue anni ha rifornito le aziende di Milano e dell’hinterland, e non solo, dalla sede in via MacMahon a Milano.
Latest version of TrueNAS Core ISO files, after being been “burned” on a USB disk for setup, won’t boot on older motherboards with older BIOS predating UEFI.

In seguito al crollo della piramide TelexFree, i loro promoter stanno tentando di convincere le vittime che il “business online” – nella loro accezione di “soldi facili e subito facendo poco o nulla” (il vero “business online” è tutt’altra cosa) – è sano e bello. Pertanto si sperticano nel darvi consigli interessati su come accertarvi della bontà […]
La crisi economica degli ultimi anni ha portato, tra tanti problemi, anche al moltiplicarsi di “offerte di lavoro online” che promettono guadagni facili ma in realtà nascondo catene di sant’Antonio, chiamate anche “schemi piramidali” o “schema Ponzi” La differenza fra uno schema piramidale e uno schema Ponzi è che il secondo è “diretto”, esiste un […]
Many “news” about the imminent death of PC are appearing around despite its 30th birthday, replaced by smartphones and tablets. What’s true in that? Let’s look for a moment at the past history, and the personal computer revolutions. Before that there was centralized systems from which you could rent some processing time and highly proprietary systems using […]
On April 10th, 2011, Sandon Utensileria, the company established by my grandfather, Francesco Sandon, and his brother Luigi (later joined by the other two brothers, Felice and Fausto), celebrates its 75th anniversary of uninterrupted activity, even when WWII swept across Milano the warehouse was moved in a hayloft outside the city, and orders were dispatched […]
On December 8th, a holiday in Italy, we woke up early in Geneva to visit the CERN centre. After a rainy day spent visiting Geneva, the Moon was shining in the sky, telling us that beside some remaining clouds, it was going to be a sunny day. The CERN laboratories are nearby Geneva airport, just outside the city, and […]
