Fake DualShock 3 Controller Review (Ebay, AliExpress)
In my search for cheap third party Playstation 3 controllers, I’ve decided to give the infamous Made In China fake DualShock 3 controllers a try. I’ve purchased two “different†fake controllers from an AliExpress supplier. They are differentiated by their packaging colour; one being red and the other being blue.

A Week of Downs
If you’re a frequent visitor to Swift World you would realize that the site was down for practically the whole of last week (actually even more, roughly 11 – 12 days?).

Heaven then sent me a message, a store had recently brought in (or at least I just noticed them bringing in) a third-party manufacturer controller that was half the price of an original PS3 controller. The controller is called the VX-1 by a company called Gioteck.

DIY NAS – Port Forwarding and Dynamic DNS
Ready so say “hello world†proper? In order to access your DIY NAS or home server or game server or whatever that is hosted at your house, you will need to do something called “port forwardingâ€. Port forwarding is usually performed and set up at the router level. Since there are hundreds and thousands of routers, I will be recommending you a few sites that you can take reference from. I will be using a popular custom router firmware (DDWRT) to illustrate the different steps that you will need to take in order to forward your ports correctly.
