Power Cords: The Office Edition

Gadgets come and go. The tech industry is almost like the fashion industry. One tiny change in a new product will make yesterday’s product obsolete. The most consistent thing about them has been their power cords. There are few variants of them and the whole industry can only use those based on the kind of power their equipment requires. One of the  power cords  that the computer industry uses is the c13 power cord. The many uses of this cord in an office are: Computers: Most traditional computers use this cord for power. Laptops use a different cord, one that doesn’t have an earthing prong but desktop computers, even all-in-ones have a c14 cord to maximize safety and because it follows certain standards. Each computer has two components that use a power cord: the CPU and a monitor. A monitor also uses the same cord as the CPU. Servers: There are in house servers that offices need. These are, of course, high voltage appliances and therefore need to have stabili...

Ethernet Cable: Uses in a Coworking Space

The internet is a wild concept. And it has been around for a while now. But it still regularly amazes me with every new iteration of it. Not only has it constantly given rise to more gadgets and services that use it, but there are also new things that expand the idea of the internet itself. The way we use the internet changes every day. The way the internet is packaged has also been changing since its inception. It began as something that did not work without cables at all, and has now become available without cables over longer distances. It is available over the air by using a tiny chip in our gadgets, and with gadgets that are interconnected. The joke here is that mesh network is an interconnected network of devices that provides the Interconnected Network service. All of the ways we get the internet is great, but even in 2020, I have to say, there is nothing quite like a good old  Ethernet cable . Not only in terms of plugging into a computer, but you need superior ...

Computer Cables: What You Connect to Your Monitor

One of the most intriguing questions in 2020 is ‘what is a computer’, but there is no specific answer to it. Yet. It kind of comes down to your own workflow. Your definition of a computer depends on your workflow. If all you need to use a computer for is some light typing, web scrolling, and entertainment consumption, you are better off with the most portable version of a computer, a tablet. Or one of the new 2-in-1 things that add a decent keyboard and a computer’s operating system with a touch screen. On the other hand, if you are planning to do any editing, text, video, or audio, those computers are not going to do the trick. This is where you need to have a custom desktop workstation. The best thing about customizing it is that you have to make no compromises. Feel free to get a mechanical keyboard, a mouse that is right for you, and a monitor or monitors that suits for your workflow. The CPU, of course, can have components that work best for you. It is very easy t...

Ethernet cables are not the most popular, talked about cables. But if your cable tears, the whole house is going to put effort to immediately replace it. What happens if a few cables at a data center damage? Nothing good, of course. Your essential navigation app can suddenly stop working, or your work chat app can crash. The result can be anything from ‘eh’ to insanity. Our dependence on apps has made it close to impossible to live in a scenario where we don’t constantly need them for something or the other. No matter what, the cloud must sustain. And for that, the data centers that power it. Owning a data center has become a lucrative business. But before you begin, there are certain things you need to take care of. Let’s explore the finer details of running and maintaining a data center. There are certain basic things that you have to take care of here: Electricity Cabling Cooling Security A detailed overview of the basics: Electricity While the pyramid of basic n...

The ones that come in the box are fragile or too short and people generally tend to buy the third party but Apple certified variants. Apart from the iPhone, you can use thi...
