Tech Discoveries
- How to enable SSH root logins on CentOS
- Amazon have introduced Twitch Prime, which gives users access to Prime Video
- Amazon actually own Twitch since August 2014…
And my final tech discovery this month, “new isn’t always better”. I already knew that. However it manifests in such contemporary facts like WordPress websites: PHP 7.2 is not compatible with many of my client’s websites. Instead, many still require PHP 5.6 or they simply won’t run.
Miscellaneous Discoveries
