September 26, 2019Printer ink is perhaps the most expensive accessory in your home or office. It’s much costlier than gasoline, perfume, and even vintage champagne per milliliter. So, it makes sense to learn how to really reduce the usage of printer ink. Here in this post, we’ve compiled a selection of the five best ways to help you reduce ink usage in homes and offices: Lower Print Resolution for Photos, Graphics, and Visually Rich Documents The resolution stands for the actual number of ‘Dots per Inch’ printed in a graphic or photo. It is identical to the pixels that create a digital image on a virtual screen. For a decipherable outcome, 72 DPI is more than enough. Most printers are pre-programmed to print at 200 to 300 DPI. This is completely unnecessary and leads to ink wastage. You can lower the print resolution in ‘Print Settings’; this way, your graphic documents, and photos will certainly consume less ink. In case you are using a program such as Photoshop that requires an increase in resolution or you just happen to need high-quality prints for a portfolio presentation, you can always change back the settings. If you are a photographer or graphic designer who needs a large number of high-resolution prints each month, it’s advisable to opt for canon compatible ink cartridges that cost up to 50% less than OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) inks. Protect Your Cartridges – Do Not Turn the Printer Off You need not turn the printer off on a daily basis. The printer goes through an ink-consuming maintenance cycle each time it’s switched on. You can, however, make an exception during extended weekends or the holiday season. Just make sure to switch the printer off by pressing the power button on the device. This way, the printhead returns to the...

September 24, 2019The Anker Soundcore Vortex Headphones are without a doubt are a surprise for me as tech enthusiast and audiophile. To start with the Anker Soundcore Vortex Headphones were an on sale from Walmart as a special for $59.99 (usually retailing for $69.99) when I bought a new iRig microphone to do my podcast. I was not expecting much from these headphones at that price point and I was surprisingly wrong. The Anker Soundcore Vortex Headphones are blue tooth and represent lows, mids, highs with crisp tones and deep bass which is surprising for a low-cost pair of over the head headphones. The headphone cans are well cushioned and feel great on your ear and are pretty stylish. The Soundcore Vortex Headphones have no noise cancelation or ambient noise amplification but for the price, I am not surprised. The Soundcore Vortex Headphones Bluetooth pairing is very easy and pair well with both my Mac and Windows Surface book with no cutting out or choppy sound. The headphone controls are very basic only volume, power and change track. The Soundcore Vortex Headphones are great for transport they fold up and come with a very good case for transport to keep them safe in my laptop bag. They charge via MicroUSB and come with a short cable to charge them but not a power brick so you must provide your own or plug them into the computer to charge. They do not have a built-in mic so if you get a phone call you cannot answer the call on the headphones while other more expensive models have this feature these do not. I found the Soundcore Vortex Headphones well made and durable. For the price of these headphones, you are getting a great piece of hardware at a great price. I would recommend...

Their data also revealed that the higher up the employee, the more likely they are to be targeted, with C-Suite executives being 12 times more likely to be attacked than other employees. And email was still used in 90% of reported attacks. The Cloud is Still Vulnerable Capital One suffered a massive breach that compromised the data belonging to about 106 million of their customers.
