My son plays Minecraft on their Android tablet (Huawei MatePad 10.4 2022). And recently he faced with problem of using Huawei Smart Keyboard. The keyboard works well until you press the Enter key (entering to the chat). After exiting the chat you can't do anything (on keyboard) cause Android think that you are still typing in the chat and suggests you proper words (over the game).

Keenetic Mesh Wi-Fi | Periodic packets loss
To improve quality of WiFi coverage in my apartment I bought a second Keenetic Giga router (KN-1011) in addition to Keenetic Giga (KN-1010). From my perspective Keenetic is the best router for home usage. This confirms the presence of Mesh feature that can be configured by simple wizard.
The second router was placed in second room behind 2 walls from the primary router and connected by Ethernet cable Cat 5e (1 Gbps).
Everything was perfect until I decided to play online game where I felt periodic freezes. ping shows loss of 2 packets per ~ 1 munite.

How to share SharePoint Online website with another tenant by Azure B2B
The case
Two companies (for example, parent and affiliate) have their own Microsoft tenants. Both companies are big, let's say more than 10000 users each. Everyday companies hire and fire employees.
The first company (parent) has an Internal website on SharePoint Online. Employees of the second company (child) have to get access to this website. Someone else shouldn't have rights.
Standard approach of Azure B2B "invite each user" is not a suitable option. You (or someone else) can't (it's possible, but I assume you do not want this) manually send an individual invitation for each new user of child company.
Is there another way? Yes, but it's not perfect.

Is it possible store VeraCrypt encrypted container on Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive?
Cloud drive is a best and simple way to protect the data from loss (second copy).
VeraCrypt (as TrueCrypt fork) is a good tool to protect the data from leake (encryption).
It is reasonable to use these technologies together. But this solution has several specifics:
- Encrypted container (VeraCrypt volume) is a single file that can be large. How its changes will upload to the cloud?
- Encrypted container does not change the size. How cloud tools notice a file change?
- How many data VeraCrypt changes during on-the-fly encryption (OTFE)?

Evoko Home, Exchange 2016 and "UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE" issue
Evoko is a perfect room booking system. On the first step (Log In to Exchange 2016 server) of Evoko Home server (version 2.5.0.93 / Windows edition) installation I faced with an error "UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE".
Checkbox "Allow untrusted Exchange server SSL/TLS certificates" skip the error, but I want all certificates to be trusted. The Exchange server uses a certificate issued by local CA. The certificate is not expired, has all needed CNs and fully supported by browsers and Windows (cause a Root CA certificate is stored in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" container).
