RaspberryPi Raspbian slow mouse performace.

I recently installed Raspbian Buster on a new RaspberryPi 4 PC and noticed that the mouse pointer within the operating system was performing very poorly.  After searching online I was enlightened to find out that the quick fix was to edit the cmdline.txt file located in the boot directory.

1. Either start a BASH instance in Raspbian or SSL into the Raspbian instance(After SSL is enabled in Raspbian)

2. At the BASH prompt command line, enter:
    
    sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

This will open the nano text editor so cmdline.txt can be edited.

3. Add the following entry at the end of all the text that is already there:

    usbhid.mousepoll=0





4. Save the current state of the file by entering Ctrl+O

5. Exit the nano text editing instance by entering Ctrl+X

6. Make sure you do a reboot of your Raspbian instance by typing in: sudo reboot in BASH. You can also do a manual reboot if your within the GUI interface as well.

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Looks like Microsoft did sneak a new on demand anti-malware scanner past us. Most would have been unaware of the new application if not for keeping up with various IT newletters, blogs and web sites, such as I do on a daily basis. This small application is downloaded as an .exe file and instead of being installed onto your Windows enironment, it is just ran directly from the .exe file to start the scanning process. One of the downsides to the program is that you have to re-download the file again, after ten days, to include the latest definitions for the program. If your willing to live with the small inconvienence, it looks like a good additional on-demand malware scanner, in additional to you main persistant anti-malware program. Just don't depend on this one alone as your main anti-malware program for your Windows OS environment. Microsoft Safety Scanner download

IP2Location

I was recently reading an article by Rick Vanover from Techrepublic.com on resolving the physical location from an IP address. Nice and useful tool when needed. This of course would not give you the exact location, but basically the relative location based on Country, State, City and ISP. IP2Location
