What is WebP?

What is WebP?

WebP is an image format created by Google. It’s designed to make images smaller in file size without losing much quality, which helps websites load faster.

How Did WebP Come About?

1. Creation: Google introduced WebP in 2010 to improve web performance by reducing image file sizes.
2. Technology: It’s based on the VP8 video codec technology, which Google acquired from a company called On2 Technologies.

Benefits of WebP

1. Smaller Images: WebP images are smaller in size compared to JPEG and PNG, so web pages load faster and use less data.
2. Good Quality: Even though the file sizes are smaller, the image quality remains high.
3. Versatile: WebP supports different types of images, including those with transparency (like PNG) and animations (like GIF).

Overall, WebP helps make websites faster and more efficient by reducing the size of images without sacrificing quality.

PSPINC is currently researching how to implement WebP into our services like Bolguru and WebdeXpress. By incorporating WebP, we aim to reduce image file sizes, enhance loading times, and improve overall web performance for our users.

Costco Gas

6月

26日

I filled up my car with gas at COSTCO. I'm sure it's one of the least expensive options in the state of Washington. My new car can take 10 gallons of gas when the tank is 70% empty. Additionally, the car has an actual range of 470 miles (not the sticker range).

私はCOSTCOのガソリンを車に給油しました。ワシントン州で最も安いガソリンの一つであることは間違いありません。また、新しい車はタンクが70％空の場合に10ガロンのガソリンを給油できます。さらに、この車の実際の航続距離は470マイルです（ステッカーに記載されている航続距離ではありません）。

I purchase Business Class round trip ticket From SEA to NRT

6月

25日

I purchased one of the most inexpensive business round-trip tickets from Seattle to Tokyo. I have never flown with WestJet, but they operate Boeing 787-9 aircraft from Calgary.International Airport (YYC) to Narita International Airport (NRT). The price I paid is significantly less than what other airlines are charging. A business class round trip can cost as much as $8,000 nowadays.

This trip includes an economy fare from SEA to YYC and back. Unfortunately, it looks like I have to pay for the checked luggage, but it is still worth it. It is still over two months away, but I will report my experience.

What Are Our Company's Strengths?

What Are Our Company's Strengths?

Currently, there are fewer companies operating their own hosting services outside of large cloud-hosting providers. Many of these hosting companies use licensed software instead of developing their own. Our hosting service, however, started before the hosting business even existed, meaning there was no pre-existing software for hosting. As a result, we developed our own software for web and email hosting.

While it's challenging to showcase our technology visibly, we believe we offer unparalleled safety, uptime, and customer satisfaction. Our development efforts continue daily, with new features being added regularly. Our dedicated data center and support team are the backbone of this hosting service, providing phone and email support for all customer issues.

Furthermore, our services extend beyond just our data center. We aim to offer friendly and comprehensive IT services, from company infrastructure and internet access to overall IT solutions. Whether you need a website, email with your own domain, or any other IT-related challenges, please feel free to contact us.

Phishing Email and Website

6月

20日

have received an email claiming that I have won something from COSTCO. I know it is a scam, but I wanted to show you how far it could go. So, I went to the website and entered bogus information. The site is well-made and takes you to a survey, and at the end, you are asked to enter your credit card information to cover the shipping charges for the prize you supposedly won.

If you receive something like this, do not enter any information. All the information I entered was bogus, and I used 619-369-9975 as my phone number. This is the phone number of the Cyber Investigations San Diego Office.

COSTCOから何かを当選したというメールを受け取りました。これは詐欺だと分かっていましたが、どこまで行くかを確認したかったので、ウェブサイトにアクセスし、偽の情報を入力しました。サイトはよく作られていて、アンケートに誘導され、最後には当選した賞品の送料をカバーするためのクレジットカード情報を入力するよう求められました。

このようなメールを受け取った場合、情報を入力しないでください。私が入力した情報はすべて偽のもので、電話番号として619-369-9975を使用しました。これはサイバー捜査サンディエゴオフィスの電話番号です。
