Review about Bluetooth Beanie Hat

As the technology is advancing the urge of getting things handy is increasing extremely. With the passing time people want to have things more efficient and more miniaturized. They now only expect extra in the performance and features not in the size and other details.

Almost all the devices have advanced, specially the mobiles and PCs. It’s the part of the techno industry that has flourished by all the means. A variety of the products are available in the market in variations in prices, qualities, specifications, features and many more. The accessories and gadgets that are used in these gadgets have also advanced and have become similarly advanced and miniaturized as the device itself.

Wireless Bluetooth hands free are also an example of this advancement that has helped people get rid of holding their phones near their ears they have also gave a new sense of freedom and privacy while using your gadget for entertainment. Before this blessed period of advancement the devices were very less efficient and didn’t have that sense of freedom at all that we enjoy today. As time has passed the designers of the new gadgets have created a range of devices that gives you a complete satisfying experience of new looks, style and functionality. Today we are going to discuss the new trend Bluetooth Beanie Hat.


What is a Bluetooth Beanie?

It's a device that has set a new example of outfit and technology fusion. Just imagine a hat with a built-in headset. It is practical, smart and exciting. The concept is simple: it is usually troublesome to handle your smartphone in the cold or a snowstorm, thinking that you will have to push out your hand from a heated glove to encounter a wide variety of sensations.

Just think of it. You get an important phone call on a cold morning while walking down the street and it is all snowy outside. Your organs exposed are just freezing, but have to take out your hand from your hot glove and attend the call? 

Yes, there's a problem. The solution is a Bluetooth beanie hat because of its preinstalled speakers with a higher grade microphone and brilliant and cool buttons that make it a solution to your frostbitten fingers. 

Before this product, we saw many other gadgets claimed to be the solution, but they failed at someplace or didn't perform so effectively. This hat is the most stylish and the most functional solution to such problems.

Why Is a Beanie Better Than a Regular Hat?

  • The feature of pre-installed headphones and a receiver allows you to answer calls without hopping off your snowboard or bike, and hearing the music is also a perk that you enjoy wirelessly.
  • The convenience has increased by the buttons to operate without taking off your gloves.

·         Its most attractive thing is that it’s washable. The headset is easy to remove that allows you clean the hat easily.

·         An immense variety of designs and tones will satisfy the requirements of the most maximum requiring users; moreover, it will present you with an example of the people who continuously ask, from where you got this adorable gadget?

The Cons

·         The battery is very limited like all other devices its gives you a backup of 5-6 hours, charging it once a day is must.

·         It is so handy that you can get the habbit of using it all the time.

7 things to consider before buying a laptop

Buying a new laptop is one of the most important processes today especially for us designers. We buy them for work, personal, entertainment and not for pleasure reasons. But although cost can obviously be a determining factor and we are usually on the lookout for the best deal, we shouldn't sacrifice functionality and efficiency for the price.
Over time, we may regret our decision due to lack of space, slowness, lack of CD / DVD, connectivity or compatibility problems, etc.
This article aims to review the most important features today to make this purchase, especially for 1st-semester students who are looking for the equipment of their dreams to realize their dreams.

 1. Hard disk (solid-state SSD 120GB + HD 500GB minimum)

(Solid State Drive) is one of the most desirable features of new equipment. It is much faster in reading and processing, which translates to extremely fast computer startup (even with new operating systems), applications also respond better, consume much less energy, which gives more life to the computer battery and they generate much less heat than traditional hard drives. The only downside could be the storage space they offer but in my personal experience, I use the SSD to install the operating system and software that I only need. For the storage of files, photos, videos, etc. I use another hard disk of greater capacity or I combine it with the storage in the cloud.

2. Keyboard with light (optional?)

It is not really a "requirement" we can live without it but again for us designers who are used to living at night and the light from a spotlight can annoy our partner, our roommate, our parents or simply because we are fascinated by being in the dark This feature can solve some of the problems already mentioned and we will not have to guess which key we are pressing if we lack light.

3. Monitor size and resolution  (15 ′ to 16 ′ HD resolution)

Look for monitors that can support an HD resolution (1280 × 720) or more. The resolution of the monitor is very important. Know that we can see and that it cannot be a determining factor in terms of the workspace. The interfaces of specialized design software generally have many panels, tools, menus and features that on a low-resolution screen could saturate and make difficult its use. Another important feature, the size in inches, personally when I bought my equipment I got carried away by a BIG 17-inch monitor and I'm not complaining about it, the problem comes from wanting to transport it. At least here in Mexico, it has been hard for me to find a backpack to transport it, most of the backpacks are maximum of 16 inches and believe me,

4. Intel i7 processor (desirable)

For the demand of the softwares and the same files that we handle, I recommend at least an Intel i5 preferably an i7 of the 5th generation onwards. The processor is the heart of the laptop, it is what moves data from one place to another and keeps the circulation of the operating system running. Having a slow processor is like having an old or defective heart, when you want to run fatigue it is immediately noticeable. Specifically in design careers, having a good processor is the key to making our equipment last longer before having to replace it or buy new equipment.

5. 8GB Ram memory (minimum)

RAM is another important aspect of speed but it works differently than the processor. It supports much more in the graphic processes while the processor is in charge of the mathematical processing. Here my recommendation is to go for a laptop with recommended 8GB RAM. Why? because it is cheaper. Nowadays increasing the RAM memory of a computer has become much cheaper and expanding it is very simple. Buying from the factory a laptop with a lot of RAM is more expensive than doing it on your own and does not require a specialized technician to do it, just buy the right model. The only thing that we should take into account when buying the equipment is to what extent that memory can be expanded since they all have a limit, the recommended is up to 16GB and the desirable up to 32GB.

6. Weight

The weight of a team is one of the characteristics that most forget or do not consider. We must think that it is a partition that we will carry sometimes all day and transporting it either in our backpacks, bags or hands can become a determining factor, especially with prolonged use. Related to this point but that could be a separate point is comfort. If they have the opportunity to test the equipment, the keyboard and the response of the track or touchpad could also be a factor for their purchase.

7. Antivirus

Computer equipment is an investment and protecting it from the start is the best they can do. Here I am going to emphasize that you invest in a “LEGAL” antivirus, to have all the support and guarantee of the professional support that you will obtain. My personal recommendation is ESET NOD 32 either in its Antivirus or Internet Security version. It is very efficient and does not encourage teamwork, very safe and complete. Additionally, some versions of the software include an anti-theft system that in my personal experience helped me recover a computer days after it was stolen.

What do you think, are there more points to consider when buying equipment that we have not taken into account? I invite you to leave your comments and write your recommendations. or if you're looking for the laptop for different purposes like programming, designing, graphics or any other heavy work I suggest you to check our 10 best laptops under $1000 reviews.

What are MSIX files and what are they for?

Surely you have already encountered MSIX files in Windows 10 and do not know exactly how to use them. Basically, a file with the .msix extension is an installer for Windows applications. In other words, it is an alternative to the .exe, .msi and .appx files presented by Microsoft. However, it is important to trust the source and verify it very well before executing this type of file. You want to know more? Here we will explain the difference between each type of file and the advantages of .msix over other formats.

The different types of Windows installers
Each of the Windows installer formats has different strengths and weaknesses. Let's see one by one how they differ:

M: YES
MSI installers are much better for a simple and unattended installation. They have a basic GUI (graphical user interface) that installs or uninstalls a program without presenting options. In other words, it is a compressed set of installation files with the necessary data for the software.

MSIX files
Basically, an MSIX file is an MSI file with all the advantages of an AppX file.

The process of installing an MSI file does not detect if the software is installed or if a component is missing. It simply overwrites all files (if any) at the destination chosen to install. This simplicity is basically a silent install, with all the default values.

EXE
EXE installers are more flexible than MSIs, but having more capacity is also more complex. This type of installer can have different options for plugins, languages, detect old installations, among other things. This type of installer even allows you to customize the installation destination and select the components to install.

Developers can add their brand to the graphical interface and terms of service. But this causes an unattended silent installation to be impossible, somewhat less useful in a business context.

AppX
AppX installers are used for universal Windows applications and have some features of MSI. They are very simple and direct installers, offering few options to the user. But they do have an easier upgrade process from older software versions to newer versions. They also allow for a cleaner and more efficient uninstall.

AppX installers rely on container technology, so they are isolated from the rest of Windows for security. The appx packages can only be used in Windows 10, ie initially earlier versions of Windows are incompatible.

MSIX files combine the best of AppX and MSI
The MSIX files are very similar to MSI but with the benefits of appx. This is a very simple installer, in fact, they can be written for automatic and unattended installation. In addition, it has container technology, allowing updates and uninstalls easily.

MSIX files
MSIX files are very simple installers and have container technology, so their installation, update, and uninstallation are very clean.

For the user, an MSIX file is like installing an MSI file, but behind the curtain, it is installed as an AppX. Also, MSIX files can be distributed outside of the Microsoft Store. This process allows old software to be incorporated and packaged to be installed as MSIX.

MSIX can work on Windows 7, Linux and other operating systems
While MSIX is released for Windows 10, Microsoft released an SDK to improve cross-platform compatibility. Providing support for iOS, Android, macOS, Linux and previous versions of Windows. Developers should only include special instructions in the files to identify the operating system.

However, MSIX files may take a while to appear. Since Microsoft is still making some adjustments. When you are ready, developers will be able to adopt and implement this new installation method. Although it is optional, so they may continue to use .exe and .msi installers.

The evolution of mobile phones until today

In today's society, communications play a very important role, since it allows us to continuously communicate and interact with other people and companies. It could be said that without communications life would not be as we know it. Over time, the need to communicate became ever greater, which is why companies and manufacturers sought to evolve and offer more and better equipment and services to users. But the evolution of mobile phones begins in 1972 when Martin Cooper turned the phone into an artifact that was impossible to get rid of.

These devices altered the way in which people communicate, as well as their social behavior. Over the years, mobile phones have evolved and continue to do so dramatically. They started out just as analog “bricks” (named for their shape and size), and are now small, digital, and feature-rich devices.

The first mobile phone
The first mobile phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x which appeared was launched on the market in 1983. It weighed 780 grams and had dimensions of 33 x 9 x 4.5 cm. It was an analog phone with a tiny screen. The battery had a life of no more than one hour of conversation and 8 hours of standby.

Motorola DynaTAC 8000X.

The sound quality of this phone was very poor, it was a heavy device and with little aesthetics. However, some people came to buy it for a price of $ 3,995, becoming a luxury item.

As expected, the people in using them were entrepreneurs, executives and people with a lot of money to buy it. Since the economic development of a company requires effective communication with employees, suppliers, customers, governments and regulatory agencies. This service had a high cost and since there was no competition in the market, prices did not drop.

First-generation of mobile phones
The first generation begins with the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X in the 1980s. These devices were analog technology for use by voice commands. The technology of this generation was AMPS (Advanced Mobile Telephone System).

The second generation of mobile phones
In the 90s, new mobile phones with digital technology emerged and benefits were highly valued. They had longer battery life, more definition and a significant improvement in sound quality. These phones had a new function, they were able to send and receive text messages (SMS), although it had not yet become popular.

Ordinary people became part of the user list, as prices were reduced by competition between companies. The dominant technologies were GMS, CDMA and PDC. The latter was only used in Japan.

Second generation phones operated under GMS, CDMA and PDC technologies. They were also able to send text messages (SMS).

The third generation of mobile phones
This generation had the incorporation of old technology but with a new design. These phones reached many more users, mainly due to lower prices. It was also the appearance of the SIM card, where all the information of the device line is located.

Consumption became large, mainly due to the low prices and very good promotions. However, social status still existed and the mobile phone has a certain symbolic value of class membership.

The third generation of phones appeared with the SIM card, which had all the information on the line. These were already devices capable of capturing photographs, filming a few minutes, color screens, fast Internet connection, multimedia messaging and email mailbox.

Users already had an infinite market for mobile phone models that even incorporated digital cameras. These were devices capable of capturing photos, filming a few minutes, color screens, a fast Internet connection, multimedia messaging and an email box.

In Japan, UMTS-based 3G mobile phones were launched. The main change was that a second (front) camera was added to make video calls so that you could see and talk to a person at the same time as the mobile phone. After this, other communication standards appeared, making them faster and more functional.

Smartphones, the fourth-generation mobile phones

The 4G communications changed completely and forever the way in which people use their phones. The smartphone or Smartphone was basically a union between a phone and a computer, breaking the pattern of content consumption that we have used for years.

Fourth-generation phones are devices that changed things. These smartphones are capable of transmitting at high speeds, you can even view content in high definition.

The 4G transmission speed allows us to view HD content, music streaming and more. And of course, if something has to do with work, everything is done much faster and without complications.

The evolution of computers until today

Computers have been around much longer than you thought, and their meaning has changed for decades. In fact, the electronic computer we have in mind was developed in the middle of the 20th century. But it didn't become popular for home consumption until the 1980s, after the advent of Microsoft and Apple operating systems that combined text and graphics. This replaced the text-only systems of the 1970s. Later, in 1990, computers already had improved multimedia and communication applications, making them indispensable for the daily life of many people. You want to know more? Here we tell you about the evolution of computers and their history until today.

What is a computer?

To know the evolution of computers, the first thing you should know is that the original definition of "computer" was a person who performed calculations. This definition is from the 1600s and runs until the mid-20th century when "computer" began to refer to a machine.

The computer is based on the same concept as the abacus, which dates back centuries. Technology made a major leap with punch cards, developed by Joseph-Marie Masquard in 1801. In fact, this system was even used to involve music, where piano coils assigned actions to notes on a piano. In 1835, Charles Babbage combined punch cards with a steam engine to invent a "the analytical machine. "

IBM PC 5150.

Mechanical information processing

Later, in 1880 the IBM company arose from the invention of the tabulator, which was developed by Herman Hollerith. This was the first use of punch cards that represented data rather than automating a mechanical function. So, the information processing world of the 1950s was based on a combination of tabulator, punch card, and punch machine.

The first calculators appeared in the 1930s. These analog machines began to be replaced by the digital concept of 0 and 1 at the time of World War II. The first computer developed was UNIVAC, developed by Remington Rand in 1951. Then IBM introduced its mainframe computer model a year later.

Computer integration

Each Remington computer went on to sell for more than a million dollars, however, IBM took advantage by selling smaller, more affordable machines. In 1954, IBM developed Fortran which is an original mathematics-based computer programming language . In this same decade, transistors, microprogramming and integrated circuits were developed that allowed reducing the size of a computer.

At the same time, the CPU and storage memory were improved, allowing a higher processing speed. Then, in the 1970s, thanks to Intel and Texas Instruments, the first microprocessors arrived. This allowed for much smaller and much more powerful computers.

Who had access to a PC?

Until the 1970s, computers were primarily used by universities, governments, and large companies. It wasn't until the end of that decade that personal computers first appeared. Apple introduced the Apple I in 1976 and the Apple II in 1977, ushering in an era of home computers.

Apple IIGS.

From that moment, the software industry began to be born, with Apple and Microsoft being the most important. Microsoft gained popularity by marketing its DOS operating system on IBM computers from 1984. While Apple released Macintosh in 1984, it featured graphics and text, replacing machines that only displayed text. From this moment, Apple has called its system "Mac" to differentiate it from the rest of personal computers.

A multimedia machine

In the 1990s, the computer was already too popular, being a common device in homes. Microsoft's Windows 95 system caused its use of computers to grow, as the World Wide Web caught the attention of shoppers.

Tandy 1000, the first computer with MS-DOS.

Almost all professions would already need a personal computer to improve services and products. In the first decade of 2000, Microsoft introduced its versions of Windows XP and Vista, while Apple offered OS X Leopard. These operating systems combined with popular software meant that users had access to very large multimedia tools.

How to make a meme go viral in seconds

Surely you know how funny memes can be. We get tired of looking at them and some become viral and reach all parts of the world in a few minutes. If you're wondering how to make a meme go viral in seconds, be sure to read what follows.

First of all, you must have access to a meme creator with the ability to allow you to manipulate the images to your liking and also to be able to insert funny phrases that impact everyone who sees your creations.

Tips to virtualize your meme in seconds

In order for your meme to become viral, it is important to choose a photograph that is related to some current topic and that is trending at that moment. For this, it is important that you watch the news to obtain current and “fresh” images that all people will search for. Another thing to keep in mind is the subject because the more immoral or "spicy" it is, the faster it will spread.

An undeniable characteristic that a meme must have to go viral in a few minutes is the ability to make people laugh. It's important that you look at the kind of humor that makes everyone laugh and apply it to your memes so they can be shared quickly.

A tip: avoid offending someone with your comments and photos. Remember that just as you can make people laugh with your memes, you can also offend and get very negative comments if you're not careful.

Basic things to keep in mind

The text should never be on top of the image. Avoid covering the main figure because this way the meme will be very difficult to understand. It is also important that you pay attention to the images because if they are of poor quality they will not have the same success as one in which the protagonists are well distinguished.

An important tip and that we can all take into account is the hours in which people are connected. It is very important to know what time users interact with social networks to share your memes and that they reach the public in a massive way. Remember that if the meme is good enough, it will soon be shared by more and more people and the snowball effect transforms it into something unstoppable!

Be sure to share it on all your social networks. Do not limit yourself to just one, as not all people use them. Perhaps whoever uses Facebook does not use Instagram or Twitter or vice versa. If you want to be successful posting memes and they go viral in a few minutes, it is better to have more than one social network.

AMD or Intel: Which is Better?

AMD and Intel have fought to death in recent years and this will be no exception. Now with the launch of the new third-generation AMD Ryzen processors and Intel Ice Lake processors with Sunny Cove architecture, the battle will take another level. Your computer's processor is basically its brain, it is behind everything the computer does. For that n. In this sense, which is better to select? AMD or Intel? Here we will give you some details that could help you.

Which option is more convenient? AMD or Intel?
The AMD company entered the 32-bit processor market as an Intel subcontractor. This contract allowed AMD to use Intel's 32-bit based 8086 design to make processor clones. These chips would allow Intel to fulfill orders for new PCs from IBM.

The war between the two companies started when Intel introduced its 32-bit processor, stalling the AMD contract. So both companies entered into a legal battle for years. AMD continued to make clones until 1996 when it released its first 32-bit based processor, the AMD K5.

AMD Ryzen 3000
To choose between AMD or Intel, it is necessary to know what each one offers, let's start with AMD and its third-generation Ryzen series. These new CPUs are based on Zen architecture and 7nm technology. AMD's new batch will feature the Ryzen 9 3950X, a 16-core chip with a top speed of 4.7 GHz. However it will be somewhat expensive, at $ 749 but for many, it will be a better option than the Intel equivalent, the Core i9-9960X for $ 1725.

The new AMD Ryzen 3000 series also has support for PCI Express 4.0, something that Intel processors do not have. This is a standard for high-speed connections between the processor, graphics card, storage, and more. In summary, it would have transfers of up to 64 GB per second, so if you are wondering whether to buy AMD or Intel, surely you are already deciding on the first option.

AMD or Intel

AMD is not only cheaper than Intel, but its new processors have better performance.

Performance per Watt
AMD bets on performance per watt, allowing more cores and speeds at half the cost. For the most demanding AMD has its Ryzen Threadripper CPUs, such as the 2990WX 32-core with a cost of $ 1,799. Which continues to outperform Intel as its X series CPU for demanding users is 18 cores, the $ 1,999 Core i9-9980XE.

Intel's Turbo Boost technology enables speeds of 5.0 GHz to be achieved on dual-core processors. But this speed is 4.8 GHz for quad-core processors and 4.7 GHz for eight cores. While AMD's Precision Boost 2 technology allows you to increase speed regardless of the number of cores. For this, AMD relies on an analysis of the temperature-electricity-headroom environment. AMD calls this the "reliability triangle."

So if you are wondering whether to buy AMD or Intel. You should know that AMD has an advantage over base speed, while Intel's turbo speed is higher. But there is no doubt that if you want to build a PC to play, perhaps AMD is the best option.

Intel Ice Lake with Sunny Cove architecture

In the case of Intel, at Computex 2019 it presented its new 10th generation Ice Lake family with 10nm Sunny Cove architecture. The first 11 processors target suffixes "U" for ultra-low power and "Y" for extremely low power. For these, up to quad-core and eight-thread processors will be seen, with speeds up to 4.1 GHz and GPU speeds up to 1.1 GHz.

Intel Core i9 9900K.

These processors have an integrated GPU that promises very good frames per second for Battlefield V at 1080p. It will also be compatible with 3,200 MHz DDR4 memories. Another feature is that they have Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and compatibility with Intel Optane. These processors will probably be received by the manufacturers of laptop computers for the Christmas of 2019.
