Every year new devices come out, which greatly simplify the student life.

Thanks to gadgets “go to the library” and take the book in 2 clicks. Technical innovations give new opportunities for study and entertainment.

Here are 5 popular devices that will help students learn more effectively.

Mobile phone

Students can be divided into 2 types:

Owners of smartphones;

Those who are satisfied with the “brick” with a weekly battery reserve.

The smartphone is useful in studies, as it supports the download of useful applications necessary for study.

However, the phone is not only good, but also entertainment. With the help of the gadget, students exchange information, do selfies, upload photos to Instagram, communicate in Facebook.

The five popular brands of phones

  • Apple
  • Samsung
  • Lenovo
  • HTC
  • Nokia

A laptop

The student needs mobility. Remember the time when you were 100 times over to check your course and every time there were errors. It is much easier to immediately make edits, not at home, when many comments have already flown out of my head.

Gamer laptops – an entertainment center after a busy school day, where students play games on the network, watch movies in good quality, communicate with friends.

The tablet

The tablet is suitable for surfing the Internet, exchanging letters and working with images.

Top three popular brands:

  • Apple
  • Samsung
  • Lenovo

The tablet is often considered as an alternative to a laptop. We would not advise completely to give up the laptop. If you need to quickly type the text, throw on the flash drive course or draw a drawing, then the tablet is not an assistant.

EBook

Increasingly, young people prefer paper readers to readers. This is convenient, because you do not need to carry heavy books, sit in libraries, looking for the necessary material.

The readers are small, compact, easily fit in a purse. The standard screen size is 5 or 6 inches, there are large ones – up to 8-10 inches.

Additional convenience – the font size, which can be set for your eyesight.

Dictaphone

Dictaphone is used not only by journalists. Teachers in universities give a huge amount of information and lecture at a fairly fast pace. A professional voice recorder will come to the aid of the student. Listening to lectures is more convenient on the road, and at home you can easily compose a summary.

In the first months after acquiring a regular and long-awaited high-tech toy, you are fiddling with it, studying, enjoying updates, and even while no one sees, you admire. After six months you get used to it and you begin to understand that, in general, it has enough shortcomings. After a year and a half more and more often you look at other novelties. And the cycle begins again

In general, it does not often happen that devices after the review remain in constant use. But this allows you to better evaluate them and identify those problems and shortcomings that are not always possible to detect during the initial testing, as a rule, very short. This is especially true in the modern world, where every device has long been not only and not so much hardware as the firmware and related software. In the case of Xiaomi’s “smart house”, it turned out that some of the equipment remained after the test, and a part – literally after the first review – was bought already independently.

Start, as usual, have to use Mi Home. The first rule of Mi Home: do not try to control all “smart” devices through Mi Home! It sounds strange, but it’s true. Firstly, for the same Yeelight and Flower Care sensor, there are own applications that are better, safer and even faster in places. Secondly, if you do not try to automate everything, then you cannot drive everything into Mi Home. Thirdly, Mi Home modules still suffer from problems with localization, and some do not work at all (for a bracelet, for example). Updates of the application are laid out in Google Play all the same with a big delay in comparison with the versions in the own Xiaomi store. However, this is not such a problem.

There are a few updates in the last year. First, Mi Home radically changed design. For purely subjective sensations, the application became “heavier” and somewhat slower. The main emphasis is now on grouping devices by their location (rooms). When there are many, it really makes sense. Secondly, at last new cloud servers appeared, to which your devices are attached. The full list of countries now looks like China, the US, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, India, Europe and others. Although, to be honest, I stayed on the original Chinese server, which can work with all smart devices. Simply because after changing the server, I do not want to reconfigure all this good.

Thirdly, Xiaomi actively promotes the voice control of the “smart” house. You can even use the friendly Xiaomi ecosystem IP camera with a microphone. The interface itself Mi Home has become mostly available in its native language, but, as mentioned above, this does not apply to the modules.

Conclusions? Yes, exactly the same as in previous reviews. Firstly, all these devices of the “smart home” simplify life a little and make it more comfortable, but without them you can absolutely do without it. Secondly, Xiaomi products are more expensive than noname brands from the Middle Kingdom, but much cheaper than products of conditional Western companies. Just do not forget that almost all products are focused on the local market. This manifests itself in everything – from unsuitable electrical plugs to very slow interface localization. Third, all this still have to be ordered in online stores. So there can be problems with warranty service. Officially, we have only a night light out of all this good. If this does not stop you, then it makes sense to begin acquaintance with “smart” (in fact, not very) devices with the products of Yeelight. With her the least problems, and her work can be seen with her own eyes, literally. And it is relatively inexpensive. Yeelight continues to expand the range, but is increasingly engaged in creating lamps of the usual form factors: ceiling, wall or embedded. I would like to see devices like Nanoleaf panels.

The second place in the personal hit parade is a kettle-thermostat. It would seem that there is no “hi-tech” here. However, in practice it turned out that the function of heating up to a certain temperature and subsequent heating is very useful. And in general, the design of the kettle, in my opinion, very successful. Well, I’ll be more careful with the coating of the bulb, because I do not want to go back to the kettles of other manufacturers. If this one breaks, I’ll buy exactly the same. Exactly the same can be said about the extension cable. The third place is occupied by the air purifier. With an attitude towards him, it is still difficult to determine. Mind you understand that he, in theory, at least useful: air clears, dust less. But at the same time, no other and, most importantly, no apparent positive effects from it. And it is worth it in absolute figures is not so little, and filters for it should be bought two or three times a year. In general, while the desire to buy another cleaner or a newer version, if not himself, at least parents did not arise.

The remaining devices fall into the list of outsiders. Among all sensors for the gateway, only the temperature and humidity sensors proved to be most useful. There are plans to purchase leakage and smoke detectors at some kind of sale, but only because the gateway already exists. And the gateway, perhaps, makes sense to use not in an apartment, but in a separate house. Sensor for flowers and was far more a toy. I do not rule out that he really helped someone in the care of plants, but for me it is generally not very useful. Well, the IP-camera White Smart certainly should not be bought. Her sincere love of the homeland cannot be defeated, so it’s better to take either something from Yi, or any other from the famous brand.

In general, the platform of “smart home” from Xiaomi can still be called quite raw. Promotion, and with it, and adaptation in the international market is slow. The expansion of the range of products also slowed down. Yes, the Xiaomi option is ultimately much cheaper than solutions, so to speak, professional platforms. But at the same time, it is not without its drawbacks. Key issues are openness and security. In fact, Xiaomi’s “ecosystem” is rather closed. And on the second point, developers are traditionally tactfully silent. Although this is just the most important thing, and not the possibility to automate (and necessarily beautifully) to process every desire of the user.

The pen and tablet have turned the PC into a convenient tool for those creative personalities whose elements are visual images. Combining the centuries-old experience of mankind to keep a pen (pencil or brush) and high technologies, Wacom has created products that blur the line between the real and digital worlds.

Everything changes in this age of change

If you are interested in the situation in the tablet industry, then, for sure, remember that Wacom had two lines, differing in functionality and, accordingly, in positioning.

The Bamboo lineup included tablets for beginners, and to Intuos – solutions for professionals. Cintiq tablet screens stood apart.

Since autumn the situation has changed. The name Bamboo is now used mainly for products targeted at tablet computers (these are numerous capacitive styluses and applications). There are also “touch-ups”, more suitable for PC control and handwriting text input.

The name Intuos combined almost all the tablets (except for those equipped with their own touch screen, they still belong to the Cintiq family), for professional solutions, the Pro additive is used that does not allow multiple interpretations.

Intuos: which tablet do you need?

Since handwriting information has not yet received any serious distribution, the tablets are used for editing photos and creating digital illustrations / 3D models.

Theoretically, to work with a photo editor, a simple device that distinguishes the force of pressing is sufficient (usually this is regulated by the density of the “paint” applied to the mask or image or the size of the “brush”). And beginning retouchers instead of exercises with a mouse can learn the basics of crafts with Intuos Pen.

A more advanced version is Intuos Pen & Touch. In her there is already an eraser, and the tablet itself recognizes and touches fingers, and several (well, gestures, without them nowhere anywhere).

The body of the tablet is made of silver or black plastic, it is thin and suspiciously light. Above the active area there are four buttons whose functions depend on the application being used and are assigned in the driver.

A loop of a ribbon on the upper edge of the body – the pen holder. By the way, in the set of their two – colorful, to emphasize their own individuality.

Intuos Pen & Touch works both via USB and wirelessly (radio module – transmitter, battery and receiver – sold separately).

The force of pressing allows you to control the thickness or density of a stroke, but not its shape. This is the main difference between the usual Intuos from Intuos Pro.

Professional models, in addition to the force of pressing, determine the degree of tilt of the pen relative to the surface of the tablet, and this makes it possible to simulate the geometry of the stroke. In retouching, almost no role, but for serious drawing / painting – almost necessary.

Naturally, professionally-oriented models are more precise (higher resolution and more degrees of sensitivity). And they are designed for more intensive use, their bodies are stiffer, and the working surface is not so scratched by the tip.

Intuos Pro. What is the difference from the previous version?

It is difficult to perfect the ideal. But you can. Wacom has long provided such outstanding characteristics of its tablets that further technological progress has lost practical meaning.

The resolution of 5080 lpi (lines per inch) is more than enough to work, especially considering the possibility of scaling. 2048 degrees of depression is enough to simulate a variety of instruments, well, maybe except for large soft brushes like fude for Japanese calligraphy.

What’s next? Ergonomics. And also – the complete set of delivery. This is what distinguishes the new Intuos Pro from Intuos 5.

There are three sizes available: small (working area 157 x 98 mm), medium (224 x 140 mm) and large (325 x 203 mm). There is also a Special Edition of the most popular, average, version. The only difference is the silver stripes from above and from below, the design method is inspired by classic film cameras from the last century.

The active area is located far enough from the edge of the body, it is convenient to draw at its borders – the hand lies on the bar and there is a fulcrum.

Wacom tablets are designed in such a way that they can use both right-handed and left-handed. It is enough to turn the device 180 °. The idea is brilliant in its simplicity. For its implementation, it was necessary to observe the equality of the dimensions of the opposing elements that frame the working surface and make a symmetrical set of control elements.

As in the previous version, eight buttons are available to the user, two on the top and the bottom are marked with different protruding parts – this is very convenient for working “blindly”.

There is also a “control wheel” with an active central area, without moving parts. It uses touch technology and tracks the position / movement of the finger.

In Intuos 5, the controls were completely covered with soft-touch plastic – the gap between the button and the body covered the membrane. In Intuos Pro, developers returned to the usual buttons: maybe it looks not so stylish, but it’s easier to press.

Hardware buttons – ExpressKeys – can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Thus, for each application, eight shortcut buttons for a function or a menu / toolbar are created for the tool parameters, etc. The driver automatically substitutes the desired value when working in the corresponding program.

Wacom engineers refused to display the buttons in Intuos 5, transferring the visual connection with the person on the computer screen – absolutely correct solution, since most users at work look at the monitor, rather than on the tablet.

When you click on the buttons, a semi-transparent panel appears with a hint that it is assigned to one or another control.

Multifunctional is the “wheel”. The button within it sequentially switches four (also assigned via the driver and application-specific) functions, while one of the four LEDs lights up on the tablet.

However, that’s not all. The driver allows you to create a so-called. a circular menu – a translucent panel on the screen, called by one of the hardware buttons. Eight sectors of the circle can be assigned commands / keyboard combinations that will be worked out when pointing at them with the cursor and pressing the tablet.

After spending some time in thoughtful setting, an artist or a retoucher can create for himself a comfortable set of control elements, which will allow you to access the keyboard only in the rarest of cases, and therefore, literally avoid unnecessary movements.

Pro-versions are equipped with a universal pen with an eraser, a rocker for two positions under the index finger and interchangeable tips. For operation, neither a battery inside nor wires to the tablet body is required.

In the driver, you can very fine-tune the parameters of the pen – assigning buttons, sensitivity to pressing, etc.

To retouch photos, the material of the tip does not matter, the main thing is comfortable moving over the surface.

It’s a different matter when drawing. Of course, there cannot be a complete analogy, but the difference between “felt-tip pen” and “pencil” is felt well.

Replaceable tips (this is an expendable material, they wear out friction and are sold separately) are hidden in a desk stand for the pen. It is designed in such a way that the pen can either be put or put (almost like an ink tank).

In the arsenal of Wacom there is an Art Pen – feather, imitating a felt-tip pen with an angled rod. The tablet recognizes the rotation of this pen around its axis and communicates this information to the application.

Wacom tablets support the Tool Id technology. The point is that each pen (and there is also a digital airbrush) has its own unique number, and the system is able not only to recognize which tool was brought to the active surface, but also to change the result of its application, depending on the settings.

In practice, this means that by purchasing a couple more feathers or an airbrush, you cannot switch instruments through the menu, but physically change them like real ones.

Although the tablets are equipped with USB cables (of sufficient length and with a thoughtful design of the connector), it is more convenient to work through the wireless interface. In Intuos 5, it was a separately purchased accessory, and now – part of the standard package.

Undoubtedly, this is a major improvement compared to Intuos 5, because the victim was given the opportunity to install one of three programs for working with images: the versions were not trial, but special, i.e. with less functionality.

Wacom offers its own solution, standard wireless interfaces of the computer are not used. To connect, you need to install the transmitting module and the battery in the tablet, and the receiver into the USB connector on the computer. The battery is charged via USB inside the tablet.

Prospects. How can anything change?

Ironically, this sounds, but the driving force behind the development of the tools market for creative work has recently become Microsoft. Focused on touch control, Windows 8 has driven manufacturers to release computers with touch-sensitive displays. This is still a novelty, and in a few years a situation is quite possible in which a conventional, non-touch screen becomes a rarity.

Wacom has begun experiments to create a pen that works with a capacitive touch screen and can transmit information about the force of pressing and tilting the computer.

Why change the router, if it all works Published 03.01.2017 Think, bought, installed, remember? No. Update router needs. Though not as often as a smartphone. And replace the old model will definitely pay off. Logo Wi-Fi decorated with the device capable of operating according to one of the wireless standards IEEE 802.11.

We are only interested in 802.11 g, 802.11 n, 802.11 ac. Older and budget devices often use 802.11 g, which is characterized by a transfer speed up to 54 Mbps at an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz. More new and popular 802.11 n capable of operating at speeds up to 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The most advanced to date, 802.11 ac brings to the consumer the flow rate of 6.77 GB/s and uses the 5 GHz frequency.

Image result for router xiaomi

They are all backward compatible. N devices can connect to ac networks and work, but, of course, at lower speeds. The practical speed of Wi-Fi network with one transmitter and one using the device at least two times lower than the theoretical, which is specified in the standard. The router at the same time communicates with only one device.

While the smartphone is downloading something, other devices on the network are in the delay mode. The delay is short but can be noticeable when using the old equipment, incorrect setup or a large number of gadgets connected to the network.

In addition, there are additional sources of problems interference. In apartment buildings, their main reason is neighboring routers. Today, many of them, and so they do not interfere, it is necessary to use other transmission channels. Optimal speed can be achieved if between your and the neighbor’s channel will be at least five (that is, if the neighbor’s router is on channel nine, you need to switch on the fourth). Several sources of interference: Bluetooth, microwave ovens, and baby monitors.

They all work on 2.4 GHz and clog the channel. No wonder some tablets and smartphones you cannot use two interfaces. Wireless 802.11 is designed so that the maximum network speed from the router and several consumers may not be higher than that of the slowest device on the network. 5 reasons to upgrade router Increase speed Want more speed — go with the new standard. However, it is necessary to change and all consuming Wi-Fi devices, otherwise the speeds of 802.11 ac to achieve. It is unlikely that your provider provides the actual Internet access at speeds higher than those that supported 802.11 n. But if so, the router needs to be changed necessarily.

Causes of slow Internet can be several: the increase in the number of household gadgets that use the Internet. Network problems. Thus it is necessary to check whether there was a slowdown for a wired connection. If the low speed in a wireless network, the first thing you should try to find a free from other devices channel. If that doesn’t work, it’s time to run for a dual band router. Older devices may operate poorly due to a poor filling.

The router sends the information directly, it processes it, encrypts-decrypts redirects. Powerful processor and large RAM allow router not to shut up during operation. Wireless connection to the printer many modern handing out Wi-Fi devices has a separate system service — Print Server. It provides direct work a router with a printer connected to a wireless network.

The drivers, in this case, are placed directly into the router and print from any device that uses this Wi-Fi network. More convenient firmware many routers have problems with firmware causing disconnects, difficulty connecting devices to the network, and the like. To avoid this is to update the firmware or even put a third-party.

One of the best today is OpenWrt. But in order to flash the router, you may need a USB port. So, if you want to customization, you will have to spend some money and buy a more modern device. In addition, you may require more amount of constant memory: it ensures the operation of the device with additional features and the possibility of flashing. Create a torrent or media server the USB Port may be required for other purposes.

For example, to connect an external hard drive. Many modern models of routers in the native or third-party firmware not only have the tools to create home cloud storage but allow to establish a “torrential” in his own memory. Some models of routers can even turn into a media center. If you allow built-in memory, of course.

For this, you will need to install as firmware one of the specific *NIX-systems, purified from all the excess. The end result is a great energy efficient home server, which can be accessed from any of the used gadgets. The router uses much less electricity than a computer. This configuration replaces many NAS is a complete network home server.

Image result for tp link router

However, for the firmware, even the smallest, requires at least 64 MB of memory. To effectively use the router as the server preferably 128 MB. Increase the coverage of higher data transmission standard, the more coverage area. The 5 GHz band used in the more modern 802.11 ac/n, better to pass through concrete walls at short distances. On the other hand, most often to increase the coverage sufficiently or move the router, or change the antenna, or put a signal repeater (repeater). But a new gadget can be selected and so that he definitely had a better transmission and large area coverage. This requires two antennas (preferably detachable: they are better and they can be replaced if necessary) with a gain of 5dBi and support MIMO.

The latter suggests that antenna spaced from each other to provide maximum performance and do not create interference with each other. More than two antennas to use at home does not make sense. Cheap devices can cause interference of the third antenna yourself, but expensive rarely pay off. Insights Router needs to be changed only if there are problems with data transmission on Wi-Fi. Or if your gadgets support more modern standards than the current distributor. With increasing speed wired Internet and the expansion of the fleet, too, is thinking about purchasing a new unit. But if everything is set, everything works and nothing has changed, keep your money to yourself.

A good Television, occasionally referred to hybrid Television or as linked Television, is just a television collection with integral Web and fun “Internet 2.0” functions. Television radio tv methods that are electronic may obtain indicators within the number, transforming to an analog standard sign broadcast and deciphering it. The sign sent about the TV’s display comes with an analog receiver. Often, the recipient, that will be created for electronic Television is taken by the given sign in electronic structure. Utilizing retention engineering, the unit for this type of procedure is known as a decoder for electronic tv. All devices for electronic Television have an electric Television manual. Several contemporary devices for electronic Television are Smart tv.

Some television channels have their own app Smart TV that allows you to view channels in HD on the big screen. Also, apps Smart TV allows you to use the TV for many different purposes. For example, you can view on a large screen, detailed maps, to learn cumbersome tables, enjoy an exciting video game.

For the successful application of modern technology Smart TV, you need at the finest building of modern TV to put the high-performance computing system. Such a system should be able to handle large flows of video and to work quickly and comfortably. Also, this largely concerns the interface and menu navigation. The new Smart Home menu is intuitive, simple and decorated with 3D effects. High performance is achieved with the use of modern processor Tru-ULTRA HD Triple XD. Almost all new TVs will find in the store 5ok such as the SHARP LC70LE747E and others have them.

The use of modern Smart TV applications requires the use of the more advanced remote. In recent times, there are control panels that look like a computer mouse with lots of buttons. Menu navigation is done by moving the remote in space. Such an unusual way is very convenient. The use of modern controllers and accelerometers allows the use of special gestures. For example, to return the cursor to the center of the screen, you just need to shake the remote. Switch to 7 channel? – just draw a “seven” in the air. Apply and other gestures for different purposes. Also, the remote can be used to control additional devices, for example, the radio tuner or satellite antenna. Also modern TVs embedded voice search in different languages.

The modern technology of Smart TV has transformed the ordinary “box” in the media center unimaginable functionality.
