6 steps to maintain your PC



6 steps to maintain your PC

 


In the tech era that we reside in, the amount of people still using a desktop is still at large. Though the invention of laptops and smartphones play a much better role towards it support the simple desktop serves as the start of all these. Therefore here are some steps that will help you to increase the productivity of your pc. Thereby fixing the errors you face and also eliminating the lag time that happens during multi-tasking.

Genuine OS:                 

         

 

The very important secret to unblocking the productivity of your PC would start with the installation and usage of a Genuine and licensed operating system. This is the only way by which you will have your platform updated frequently in time, which in turn provides you with much support features for new software’s.

 



Frequent  Cleanups:




Have a schedule to clean up your startup and temp files regularly. Your PC faces slow processing time since you have many applications and software’s running at startup time. The best way to get rid of all these temp files and to disable the startup features of software’s is to use the ccleaner software. This unique software helps you in cleaning all unwanted and unused memory from your PC.

Stay Updated:



Have in mind that you need to stay updated at all times. You can follow your updates using many updates tracker software’s that automatically suggests you the newly available update for your software’s. Hardware drivers are the other area that should be kept refreshed to enable the best level of productivity to be maintained. The main reason as to why we update is to cope up with the requirements of the upcoming tech trend.

 



Use the Cloud for Storage:



Have lots of empty space left in your drives for better and smooth access. Make use of the cloud services offered by many to store your information. Storing information over the cloud is safe from data corruption and can be recovered at ant place remotely. Finally, using the cloud is a great way to backup all your data to a location that is always there, and is a lot harder to 'lose' than physical media such as an external hard disk drive or USB stick.

Dust your Hardware components:



And one of the most important issues towards PC maintenance would be keeping your hardware dust-free. This not only heats up your PC but also in a slow manner affects the durability of your hardware. One of the best investments you might ever make is a cheap can of condensed air that when blown into your machine's fan removes any particles that radically reduces airflow.


Use an anti-virus software:



Installing a licensed antivirus software will keep you updated to the new threats found and helps in saving your PC from any malware, spyware or Trojan viruses.

A sneak peek into the LG G4



A sneak peek into the LG G4

 

 


The most awaited phone of 2015 that would actually stand tall among the Samsung s6 and the apple iphone6 is yet to fall in the hands of humanity. Yes, it’s the LG G4……. Crafted in its own perfection and leathered up in a unique way the G4 has a bold gesture among all the other smartphones of 2015.

The design of the G4 is simply a classic, body forged in lead and wrapped in a tough leather back is where LG has met with the fashionable gadgets of today. What they’ve done on the outside is splendid but when you hear to what they have in store for us on the inside is what’s gonna put a huge smile on your face. 

The G4 has been packed with the hi-end features of today in every aspect. It sizes to about 5.5 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen.
The processor within the G4 would be a Dual-core 1.82 GHz Cortex-A57 & quad-core 1.44 GHz Cortex-A53.

It has an inbuilt memory of about 32GB and contains a card slot that supports upto 128GB.

The device is supported with 3 GB of ram hence there’s no chances for load time lags.

LG has focused in delivering an awesome cam with its G4; it’s packed with 16 MP, 5312 x 2988 pixels, laser autofocus, optical image stabilization and LED flash. And the front cam would be an 8 MP with 1080p@30fps. Now these would surely match up against a heavy DSLR. LG G4 goes as far as shooting in JPEG and RAW, which allows for the post-process editing that professional camera consumers need.

Now how can such a highly powered device as such have a stable battery that might last for a day, that’s where LG has announced its innovative negative LCD screen technology. The device has the option of removing the battery and is provided with a 3000mAh battery. Thus a promising power source of 1 day with all features enabled is guaranteed.

LG's tagline for the LG G4 is "See the great, feel the great” and it certainly has lived up to that motto by making a well-designed leather-backed smartphone that’s stunning.

Intel Compute Stick




Intel Compute Stick – A 4inch CPU in your hand

 

  

Intel has once again emerged in the tech era with its new Compute Stick. Believe it or not it’s a CPU at a size of about 4 inches but what is truly remarkable is what it has inside of it. Never would we have imagined that a quad-core 1.3GHz Intel Atom processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage space and 64MB (dedicated) Intel HD Graphics with windows 8.1 can actually be fit inside of a dongle, well that’s what Intel has done.

And not only that but it also comes with a micro SD card slot that supports up to 128GB cards. There's a USB port were  you can plug in external devices like your keyboard or mouse, and Wi-Fi b/g/n connectivity is built-in. Bluetooth 4.0 is also available and the Compute Stick comes with McAfee® Antivirus Plus for comprehensive protection.

What more can one ask for if something that fits your palm  can be plugged into any HDMI port TV or monitor and be transformed into your pc. You can do any of the tasks that you do on your computer today. All you need is a wireless keyboard and mouse and you’re set.

Ultimately this is something that can offer a full windows experience to those on-the-move developers or business users who require remote IT support at any time. There’s no time lag in loading programs and streaming of HD videos is flawless yet you gotto rule out the thought about gaming or complex tasks such as image or video editing. And one of the main drawbacks towards it would be its power source. As it has no inbuilt battery it needs to be plugged in at all times and the Bluetooth reliability is more towards worse.

Having said all of that I would just conclude as Intel said it, Built to Perform. Designed to Fit. It’s a limited specs edition of a CPU at a very small size that fits your pocket

Fujifilm – Redesigning Polaroid’s for selfies



Fujifilm – Redesigning Polaroid’s for selfies





Humanity as of today likes to express its feelings in the form of photos, and having said that selfies has swiveled the world of humanity making an urge for the finger to click. It would be fair to even say that from the time of cameras until now the number of pictures clicked through the front camera has enormously outnumbered those clicked of the rear cam.

Polaroid’s were a time in the retro world where pictures followed the method of click and pop, you instantly get the hard copy of the snap that you just took. And Fujifilm has just imagined that, bringing both worlds together the polaroid concept from the vintage era and the craze for selfies in the tech era of mankind. 


At first Fujifilm did solve the craze of selfies needed in digi-cams through many of its products such as the instax series. These were launched in 4 variants and costs around 6k-10k. Now with the new idea in mind they have decided to launch a selfie-Polaroid for those entire selfie click and post savvies. 


It’s more of a step of preservation, for those golden days of the past and some of the gadgets from of old that we are to remember. Yet, why wouldn’t one feel happy in having taken a selfie and getting an instant print out of it in seconds to share. 



To conclude I truly do stand over the truth that digital is the future in this fast growing tech culture of ours. Nevertheless would it be good in incultivating todays trend with old mechanisms of the past. It may not stand tall in the line of improvised technology of today but still, it sure can throw a pic of a happy face in seconds.
