0 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Review

Today, I will be talking about HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer, the prodigy of all in one printers (at least in my eyes!) at the moment. May it be performance, design, or price, HP doesn't disappoint us once again. Let's start with what everyone would like to know first before buying anything, which is the price of this printer. The price varies depending on where you want to buy it, but if we are to name a common price, the printer is 300$ based on Newegg's prices. Some may say 300$ is expensive for a printer, but just wait until you see what it has to offer. First of all, the printer supports AirPrint which is kind of a popular thing in...

0 Printing documents via wireless with your iOS device

Hello! Today, I'll tell you how you can print documents with your iOS device wirelessly. There are two methods to do this depending on your printer, (if it supports AirPrint or not) and we will be talking about both of them, so don't worry. First of all, let's check if our printer is AirPrint supported by going to Apple Support here. If your printer is in the list, then what you have to do is fairly easy. All you have to do is to connect your iOS device and the computer which is connected to the printer on the same wireless network. After that, simply browse to the document you want to print, tap the Print button, select the printer in the...

0 Elgato Video Capture, Copy your VHS tapes to your computer

Hello! Today I'll be talking about something that I never thought would be possible, and was quite surprised when I saw the tool on the internet. Basically, it's a VCR to USB adapter which allows you to record the videos on the VHS tape to your computer. This small tool here, which allows you to connect your VCR to your computer, also comes with a software for the recording process that I talked about. The adapter is compatible for Mac and PC, and it comes with a price of 75$, which I think is fairly good if you are willing to record some nostalgic tapes that you don't even have the opportunity to see anymore. (I doubt anyone has their VCRs...

0 Flux, an interesting piece of software.

Flux (or f.lux) is a software which changes the color of your screen according to the time in the location you are. That way, your screen doesn't look abruptly bright when it's night time. I personally thought it's really interesting since I actually started to like that the colors aren't as bright as they are in the morning when it's night time. This way, it doesn't feel like someone is holding a flashlight right on my face when I get back on my computer at night time. By clicking Change Settings, you can change your location so that f.lux adjusts itself to change the color when it's the right time. You can also change the intensity of the...

0 CPU-Z & GPU-Z, CPU and graphics card overview software

CPU-Z and GPU-Z, two tools that every computer user should have no matter what since they give you a full overview of your CPU and GPU together. From clocks to temperature, these softwares give you every piece of information you need to know. CPU-Z also gives you the full information about your RAM if you ever need it. Putting daily usage aside, they are great tools for overclockers since you can verify your data by checking the clock speeds on these softwares. There isn't really much to say about these softwares as they are pretty straight forward, and they don't really give you the option of doing anything else other than showing you everything...

2 GeForce GTX 690 vs. GeForce GTX 680 SLI

In one corner, the fastest single GPU card in the markets at the moment which is priced 500$, and in the other corner, nVidia's dual GK104 core GTX 690, priced 1000$. It's the same price to buy either a 690, or a 680 SLI, but let's see which one performs better. In the chart, we can see that GTX 690 is basically two GTX 680's on the same card. The core of 680 is doubled and placed on the 690. The only little difference between these two cards is that 690 has a higher GPU frequency as we can see above. Though, it's less power consuming to run a 690 than 680 SLI since 690 consumes a maximum of 300W power whereas 680 consumes 195W. Running...
