What Makes a Portable Home Office?

Image
A lot of us have never worked from home so we’ve never had a dedicated space for it. But now we have to. At work, we enjoy certain flexibility and largesse when it comes to equipment. Based on your requirement, you might have a large desktop monitor and even multiple monitors so you can work with a large screen real estate. This luxury might be difficult to come by at home. If you have a dedicated home office and the necessary funds, you can outfit a full scale workstation. If you don’t have a home office and work from your living room coffee table, or dining table, you need more flexible, collapsible equipment. We have previously talked about the home office setup, but let’s take it up a notch and talk about a different kind of home office. Furniture brands often talk about having collapsible elements that can be tucked away when not required. So why shouldn’t that apply to your workstation? Let’s Look At The Ultimate Portable Workstation Tools: A Laptop That Knows What It’s Doing: Ye...

The Reason We Are Still Talking About Audio Video Cables in 2019

There are many of us out here who only trust cables for connectivity. People can go around with their wireless devices all they like, but we don’t want to have to make sure to charge everything before using it. We just want to start using the device! Fortunately, cables are not going anywhere. They are mostly required for audio video purposes which is something we need for both entertainment and work. Primarily, there are two types of these connectors, one type passes a digital signal and the other type passes analog signal. The most popular analog audio connectors are the 2.5mm and 3.5mm connectors . If we take a trip down memory lane, Sony’s iconic Walkman chose the 3.5mm port back in 1979. This made it famous.
