CES officially opens today, though there were a bunch of events last night. The doors open to the show floors in a bit, but I have a little time to get down some random observations. And these will be quite random, and thoughts pop into my head about some things that stood out, for one reason or another. I tried to get one to test before the holidays, but hit a brick wall, though the HP folks I met insisted they'd be sending one for me to test. My very brief look showed it to be extremely solidly made and appears to be a remarkable deal. 20 to its standard tablet and seems well-worth it. It eliminates the need to have a special digital pointer to carry around for writing on the touch screen. Instead, utensil that's either metal or graphite will work - a regular pen or pencil, for instance. Or even a fork!
I like Lenovo products and have written positively about their Android tablets and Windows devices. 299 (though, also, includes a free year's subscription for Office365). Last year I wrote about a product called DoorBot, which has been rebranded as Ring. This a doorbell and camera that connects via an app that lets you see on your Smartphone who's at your door. There's a wide-angle fish-eye lens, which can be controlled, and also now includes motion-sensor technology. The advantage of the Ring over more traditional like-devices is that you can access the camera from wherever you are, anywhere in the world. Not just from a monitor in your home. Speaking of doors, the well-known lockmaker Schlage, has a presence at the show. One of their new devices is a voice-activated lock, no key necessary. Though it comes with one in case the battery runs out. I was also intrigued by a product from BitDefender, which makes well-regarded anti-virus software. Their hardware device, Box, protects all your Smart devices at home from viruses.
It turns out that any Smart device is susceptible to viruses, even if it's not all that common today, but that could change as they become more pronounced, especially as "connected homes" increase. Things like a Smart TV or Smart thermostat are vulnerable. They mentioned how there was a case recently of a Smart refrigerator getting infected and actually sending out viruses! Anyway, the point here isn't how prevalent the problem is at the moment, but how elegant and easy the Box is to use. At that point, any device in your home connected on your network is protected, including your computer. 99 a year for the annual subscription. What also stood out is how many "connected home" products I saw. Clearly this is a new, hugely booming market. One other home-related product intrigued me, if one has a pet. It's the PetNet, which lets you set a time to feed your pet and how much food.
You configure the device (or can set it from anywhere with the app on your Smartphone), and then at the pre-determined time, a drawer opens with the amount of food you decided on. I was also intrigued by a very small laptop charger, the Zolt, than can replace the much bigger, heavier "bricks" that come with laptops. It also has USB ports than can be used for charging. At an event for start-ups put on by ShowStoppers, I came across the Hush "Smart Earplug." Yes, earplug. This is largely designed for couples where one person snores loudly, though it isn't limited to that. What it does is mask the sound by playing sounds from your Smartphone, which you can adjust with an app. But for now, I think I have to conserve my strength as I prepare to dive in to the first day. To read more from Robert J. Elisberg about this or many other matters both large and tidbit small, see Elisberg Industries.
For this reason I don't opt out of choice to use DHCP other than when I have to such as PXE booting. John Aryan - you might need to setup your router to do this or if you use a linux distro as a firewall/router use IPtables or do this if your router runs a linux OS if you know how. Do you have a different default gateway for clients on different IP range, Mr. anthrax check you cable color code and RJ45 connector. 1bytes per sec of data. Hi so i have one Prob with finding the properties cause there is no "LAN" in my Network connections. There is only my pc and this of my Bro cause im connected with him by using the router (Livebox). I am facing problem to create two different LAN on a single hub. Mona Lisa: I think you followed wrong tutorial for XP-Vista sharing, you should check this. My first PC has XP and the second one has Vista HP. I did all the settings above with no good result. For those who switches around networks (obviously in a lappiee) will use some sortta IP managers and switchers.. They are easy to use as well. Feel free to ask questions related to this topic, i'll try to answer as early as possible.
