How Many Watts of Power? Vacuum Cleaner

Admin20100219 views

You’re looking for a high-performance vacuum cleaner. So do you just buy the most expensive one you can afford? Well, it’s not quite simple. The priciest vacuum won’t necessarily be the most powerful. To find the best vacuum cleaner for your needs, it’s also useful to look at the wattage.
In this article, we’ll explain what kind of wattage you should be seeking for a range of vacuum types, including the best cordless vacuum cleaners and the best robot vacuums.
We’ll start though, by explaining what wattage actually is, and how it relates to the suction power your vacuum cleaner will provide.
The wattage rating of a vacuum cleaner, also known as its power rating, refers to how much electrical power the vacuum’s motor consumes and converts into suction power. Most traditional household vacuum cleaners range from around 600-2000W while industrial vacuum cleaners offer around 1000-4000W.
In broad terms, the higher the wattage, the more powerful the suction is likely be. As you’d expect, ..

The Sony Walkman turns 45

Admin20100280 views

If you show a cassette tape to almost anyone under the age of about 25 and ask them what they think it does, they’ll stare blankly back at you like you’ve just asked them to open a tin of beans with a flip-flop. But with the original Sony Walkman – the Sony TPS-L2 – turning 45 years old today, it’s time to recognize it for what it is: the most iconic gadget of all time.
If there’s one thing Gen Z likes it’s overusing the word ‘iconic’, but in this case it’s entirely deserved. Cassettes had been around since the early 1960s, developed by Philips as a far more convenient alternative to vinyl and reel-to-reel tape, but it wasn’t until Sony launched the TPS-L2 in 1979 that the little plastic rectangles really came into their own.
The arrival of the Walkman meant you no longer had to be at home or in the car to listen to music that wasn’t chosen by a radio DJ – now you could do it on the move. And that concept is still something you can see all around you, 45 years on.

Moto Tag is similar to AirTag and is Something Important for Android Users

Admin20100331 views

With Google’s relaunch of its Find My Device network, it was only a matter of time before additional item trackers arrived. And now, alongside the 2024 Razr and Razr+ launch, Motorola is entering the ring with the Moto Tag.
Like an Apple AirTag, the Moto Tag is a small, circular tracker that’s larger than a quarter and has a user-replaceable battery. Motorola says it should provide tracking for a full year, and when it’s time to replace it, you can simply swap in a fresh CR2032 coin cell.
There is no hole for a keyring built-in, so you’ll need to get an accessory to attach it to something – Motorola hasn’t yet shared exact details on first-party accessories, but we did see a loop and smaller key-ring at a preview event.
It’s also fully built to integrate with the revamped Google Find My Device network, meaning that it will work with countless Android smartphones and let you easily locate and even play a sound from the tracker.
In a future-proofing move, Motorola also included ultraw..

Admin20100380 views

1Password Launches Recovery Codes and Simplified Sign-In ProcessPopular password management app 1Password today announced the launch of two new features that are designed to make the app more user friendly. 1Password is improving the sign-in process on new devices and adding the ability to recover an account when a master password and secret key are lost.

With recovery codes, 1Password is providing a failsafe that will let customers back into their accounts in the event that a password is lost. 1Password already provides an Emergency Kit PDF that includes a Secret Key, and users are instructed to keep the Secret Key safe. The Secret Key allows for access to a 1Password account if the master password isn’t available, but prior to now, if the Secret Key was also lost, there was no option for account recovery.
1Password users can now log in and generate a recovery code, which can be used to regain access to an account. The company recommends that customers go through the recovery code pr..

Brave’s user base exploded, Are you going up?

Admin20100404 views

Brave might not be the most well-known web browser out there, but it’s certainly making a splash in a sphere dominated by the likes of the data-hungry Google Chrome. In fact, the browser recently revealed that it recorded a record number of new users in May—which begs the question: why?
The most overt answer is that the browser touts itself as an open-source and privacy-first service that isn’t interested in gobbling up your personal information in order to turn a profit. It comes with built-in ad-blocking and malware protection tools, too, and can be used totally free of charge.
Some folks still have reservations, however, seeing as Brave is built from the Chromium Web core, and recent issues linger in the mind of any security-conscious consumer. So, I decided to see for myself, and figure out whether Brave’s user surge is a sign of things to come or a happy coincidence.
What is Brave? In a nutshell, Brave is a web browser, just like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, that you can downl..

How to save $950 When Buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

Admin20100694 views

The biggest and best Android tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, can now be snapped up for as little as $249.99 (was $1,199.99) when you trade in an eligible device and buy direct from the manufacturer. To further sweeten the deal, Samsung will also throw in a free Galaxy Tab A9 Plus – effectively giving you two tablets for the price of one.
Even without a trade-in, you get $150 off the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra as standard. However, the biggest extra savings of up to $800 come from handing over an existing Samsung or Apple tablet when you place an order.
While not everyone will be able to get that full discount, Samsung is accepting a range of devices, including ancient iPads and much older generation Galaxy Tabs. You can check the exact discount available for you by looking through the list of eligible devices on the store page, which averages out at around $300 – $500.
With that potential for a big saving, plus the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus as a freebie, this is currently one of the best t..

If your Windows 11 taskbar’s been lagging, we have the solution!

Admin20100390 views

Windows 11 just received a new update and there’s some good news for those who were experiencing weird and buggy behavior with their taskbar.
Namely that the frustrating taskbar bug – where it can vanish, before reappearing – is now fixed with the cumulative update for June 2024, as Microsoft makes clear in the support document relating to the upgrade.
Microsoft notes: “This update addresses a known issue that affects the taskbar. It might briefly glitch or not respond. It might also disappear and reappear.”
To rewind a bit, this glitchy behavior was actually introduced by the optional update Microsoft ushered in at the end of May 2024 (and we’ve seen a similar issue in recent times, too).
When the problem became known, Microsoft was swift to act, and fired up a rollback for devices that had installed this preview update for May. This was implemented via a ‘Known Issue Rollback’ meaning Windows 11 users didn’t have to take any action installing another patch – the fix was put in place ..

Monster Hunter Wilds Crossplay Game looks like it’s poised for success

Admin20100470 views

Since debuting two decades ago, Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise has become the company’s premiere action RPG and most successful foray into online multiplayer. Slaying large beasts with oversized weapons while crafting gear from their body parts is a core gameplay loop that refuses to get old.
Add online multiplayer with friends into the mix and it’s no wonder the 97 million unit-selling franchise is second only to Resident Evil as the Japanese developer’s best-selling franchise. Now, the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds seems similarly set for success, especially with new features like crossplay between platforms.
Back to base-ics
Launching next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, Capcom held a lengthy hands-off presentation at its Summer Game Fest 2024 booth. Played by Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda, gameplay began in the Windward Plains region at a base camp.
Here, players interact with Gemma the Smithy in preparation for a hunt of the large monster named the ..
