  • The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer: Your best and smartest companion for your home printing needs

    The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer: Your best and smartest companion for your home printing needs

    Contrary to what others may think, today’s “new normal” when it comes to learning and working from home is not just about choosing the right computer or the fastest internet connection.

    There is still the need to print since Learning from Home (LFH) or Working from Home (WFH) is not entirely and purely 100% digital or virtual.

    For students, there are learning modules that need to be printed, especially when there’s a school activity. For WFH parents and even young professionals who need to discuss reports like spreadsheets or office presentations, it is still relatively easier to read text or data from an actual paper printout compared to reading from a device.

    But still, why print? It is because there may be families that can afford only one device at home, and they can’t read modules or reports if the device they have like a desktop or smartphone is the one used to communicate to teachers and classmates or officemates. To some, it may be logical to invest on a printer instead of another PC or smartphone because it would be more affordable.

    However, it should not be just any printer brand. For the LFH and WFH bunch, the printer should be a quality brand and should have enough features to answer various remote learning and working situations. Something like an HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer from HP.

    The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer is the perfect device for homeschooling or work-from-home professionals out there. It’s Print, Copy and Scan features offer total versatility since school or office work can be printed for better readability in color or black and white, or even copied and scanned then sent back digitally.

    It also has the HP Smart App that lets you print photos on your smartphone, or even download photos from social media accounts, from the cloud or Camera Roll gallery. Just download the HP Smart App to your mobile device so you can print practically anytime or anywhere, which is extremely beneficial especially for mobile parents who need to assist their kids for their most crucial school work even if they’re not at home.

    Aside from being an intelligent printer, the HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer is absolutely perfect for any high-volume yet low-cost printing needs. Imagine being able to print a whopping up to 8,000 pages for color and 6,000 pages for black. That volume capacity alone makes the HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer a valuable and smart investment for any LFH or WFH printing needs.

    The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer comes with a set of individual HP GT53/GT53XL Color Original Ink Bottles set with Original HP Inks in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black that’s easily refillable and replaceable that even kids can do it on their own if they see ink levels going low because of HP’s innovative spill-free refill system. And the individual ink bottles allow parents or users to just buy the color that’s actually needed.

    These ink bottles are also so affordable (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow at P275 per bottle and Black at P330 per bottle) that it can’t make a noticeable dent on the family budget so one can print thousands of pages of school modules or office reports, all in quality prints, vivid color and striking detail that’s easier to read.

    The HP Original Ink Bottles can also be ordered online for users’ convenience, especially in this pandemic. Just go to the through the following channels: HP Store at Lazada (Metro Manila) (https://tinyurl.com/FreeDeliveryLazada) , ICS at Lazada (Metro Manila and Visayas) (https://tinyurl.com/ICSLazada), Silicon Valley (Metro Manila) (https://www.siliconvalley.com.ph/hp/), Thinking Tools (Cebu) (https://www.facebook.com/ThinkingTools/) and WeSellIt for (Metro Manila) (https://www.wesellit.ph/hp-freedelivery) until October 31, 2020. (Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. TFEB-104932 Series of 2020)

  • 5 “sticky situations” Pinoys can relate to

    5 “sticky situations” Pinoys can relate to

    As the number of months under quarantine increases, so too does our craving for social gatherings and physical interactions. And while we do miss a lot of aspects in our lives before the pandemic, there are just some parts of it that we don’t—traffic, bumping into people we wish we wouldn’t, and the occasional awkward, sticky, and embarrassing social moments.

    Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, these things happen. So, with restrictions beginning to ease and with most people settling into the “new normal”, it would be a great time to remember all these tricky situations and come up with countermeasures to turn them from a tormenting memory into a memorable one. 

    Autocorrect

    This is one of those technological innovations that prove to be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brings convenience and ease of communication especially when you’re on-the-go, but on the other—and for some strange reason—it transforms mundane responses into very colorful ones. And this is especially true for Filipino users because autocorrect almost always transforms a Tagalog word into the nearest—and most inappropriate—English word.

    A good comeback from this would be to acknowledge it, laugh it off, and even turn it into a fun banter. Also, make sure to re-read your messages before sending them. You wouldn’t want a simple “Thanks, tita” to turn into an obscene phrase you’d have to explain to your aunt.

    Forgetting someone’s name

    While there was an easy fix for this problem during quarantine—display names in video communication platforms—this tricky situation will still exist in the next normal. For this, you can play an old trick in the book by asking them to input their contact details on your phone or go digital and ask for their name on Facebook for a quick friend request.

    Family reunions

    Ah the famed Filipino family reunion where titos and titas just can’t help themselves from blurting out “compliments” on weight and relationship status. There are plenty of options to survive these events like being frank with your relatives or simply shrugging off their comments, but a fun and creative solution would be to clap back with sarcasm. Not only will it help diffuse the tension, but serve as an announcement that you are perfectly confident with who you are and that no one can mess with you.

    Upset stomach

    You’ve had a great morning so far. You woke up on time, you plotted your schedule for the day, and you were able to make yourself a great breakfast—something you haven’t done in ages. But while you’re on Grab car or in the meeting that just began, your stomach starts to feel uncomfortable and you find it hard to focus.

    The best solution for this problem is to take a quality antidiarrheal medicine like Diatabs. Diatabs can easily take care of your stomach problems for you and give you the peace of mind you need when it comes to bowel trouble. What’s more is that Diatabs is a product of Unilab, a trusted brand in the country, so you can rest assured knowing that you are taking a quality tested and proven medicine for diarrhea.

    Photo caption: (file: MBustos_Diatabs) Have less worries and protect yourself from tricky, embarrassing situations with Diatabs, the trusted remedy for diarrhea.

    Aside from guaranteed quality and safety—an assurance backed by data from regular quality tests that you’re not assured of by less established brands. Diatabs is more accessible to Filipinos as it can be bought in leading drugstores nationwide.

    Have less worries with Diatabs, the trusted remedy for diarrhea. For more information about Diatabs, visit its webpage at https://www.unilab.com.ph/products/diatabs.

    Samsung Electronics, the world’s number one maker of gaming monitors[1], is set to make the next-generation Odyssey line-up available in the Philippines starting October 26, 2020. Filipino gamers can now get their hands on the Samsung Odyssey G9 and G7 monitors and avail of the early bird promo in the Samsung Online Store and select retail stores nationwide. 

    “This year’s Samsung Odyssey line-up brings together the key elements of next-level game play: comfortable curvature, immersive interaction and perfect picture quality. This is the gaming monitor that every gamer deserves, set to surely reinvent the total gaming experience,” said James Jung, president of Samsung Philippines.

    Both the Samsung Odyssey G9 and G7 offer deep and immersive 1000R curvature. The G9 is the world’s first Dual Quad High-Definition (QHD) gaming monitor that features an ultra-wide 49-inch display that curves around the player and fills the entire field of view for a fully immersive gaming environment.

    Today’s games offer players immersivity and longevity making a long gaming session an enjoyable one. But spending a long time in front of a screen can result in discomfort and visual fatigue. This is the reason why the Odyssey G7 has been specifically designed to minimize visual fatigue by offering consistent brightness, contrast range, and color coordination from the center to each edge of the monitor.

    With the Odyssey’s 240Hz refresh rate, gamers can now bid lag goodbye. Coupled with 1ms response time, precise mouse movement and blur-free frames are now possible, enabling smooth gameplay without motion blur.

    Gamers also have the competitive edge with the Samsung Odyssey monitor’s G-Sync compatibility and FreeSync Premium Pro support. This will get rid of those unsightly image tears, screen-lag, and choppiness to make fast-action and complex game scenes stable and stutter-free.

    Serious gamers and gaming enthusiasts alike can now play their best game yet! The Odyssey monitor line-up is now available on Samsung.com and in PC Express, PCWorx, and Complink retail and online stores.
