What makes it so special? For starters, it has a super-responsive 1080p touchscreen, so you don’t even need a mouse to interact with it. It’s a spacious 15.6-inch display that pairs perfectly with 15 to 16-inch laptops.
Setting it up couldn’t be easier. The manual is clear and even includes photos, so you know you’re doing it right. I was excited to try it out with everything I own—it works with my Chromebook, my laptop, and even my phone! Just plug in the cable, and it connects instantly, no extra setup needed.
The Duex Float also has a built-in kickstand, which is amazing for using it on its own without attaching it to the laptop. The kickstand works with any laptop size, but if you prefer the magnetic attachment, they include four magnets for that option too.
I love how portable it is. Its compact, foldable design makes it easy to carry around. There’s also an option to adjust the screen’s color to protect your eyes during long workdays or late nights. The dual-hinge system is incredibly flexible, offering three modes: dual-screen, presentation, and desktop mode. So you can set it up in whatever way suits your productivity needs. As an independent display, it’s perfect for gaming or working with documents, and you can flip the screen around to easily share content with someone in front of you—great for work presentations or even just casual viewing.
One awesome feature is that the screen rotates both ways. You can easily show someone something on the screen without having to move your whole setup, making it perfect for collaborative work. Another person can use the Duex screen while you’re working on your laptop screen, which makes it super practical.
It’s also compatible with Apple Stage Manager for iPad OS! Instead of mirroring content onto a smaller 4:3 view, iPads with M-series processors can display active apps across the spacious 15.6-inch, 16:9 screen. I tested it out with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it worked flawlessly. Plus, it’s also compatible with Android devices, so it’s got great flexibility.
When I unboxed the Duex Float, I recorded it because I wanted to capture just how unique and practical the design is. I’ll be sharing my review on YouTube and Instagram reels soon so you can get a closer look.
Here’s what comes with the Duex Float:
- USB Type-C cable with USB-A to USB-C adapter
- HDMI cable
- Magnetic plates
- Adhesive stickers
And some standout features:
- Stacked design
- Two USB-C ports with pass-through charging
- One mini HDMI port
- Built-in kickstand
- Three different viewing modes
Product Specifications:
- SKU: 101-1011P01
- Screen Size: 15.6-inch touchscreen
- Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels
- Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
- Brightness: 250 nits (adjustable)
- Dimensions: 14.2" x 9.1" x 0.87"
For me, the Duex Float is a total winner, especially for anyone needing a larger screen on the go without much desk space. The HDMI and USB-C ports make it simple to connect to almost anything, and the pass-through charging is a huge plus! Its aluminum alloy frame is both durable and lightweight, which I really appreciate. The stand and monitor are sturdy enough that I don’t worry about it tipping over.
Now, it’s a bit heavier than my laptop, but I can still throw it into my bag for a quick cafe visit and travel with it. But it folds up perfectly, with the screen facing inward for protection. This screen has truly improved my remote work setup, saving me from neck strain and making my workflow smoother. And honestly, it’s making me look forward to work even more—it’s just fun to use!
Smartwatches and rings can track various health metrics, like physical activity, sleep, heart rate, and even your heart's electrical activity. However, the FDA cautions against using these devices to monitor blood sugar levels if they claim to do so without any skin penetration. The FDA has not evaluated the safety or effectiveness of these devices, and relying on them could lead to inaccurate blood sugar readings. This poses a significant risk for those with diabetes, who need to regularly check their blood sugar levels — typically through a finger prick test or a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that uses tiny sensors that penetrate the skin and send data to a smartphone app. It's important to note that the FDA's warning pertains specifically to smart rings and watches that promise needle-free monitoring, not to CGMs. If you're concerned about the accuracy of your blood sugar monitor, it’s best to consult your doctor or pharmacist about whether it’s an FDA-approved, reliable device.
I took my radio to night prep, which is a time when we all get to read and meet with our study group in the evening. I was a senior student and enjoyed the pleasure of being in senior secondary. I purchased a big radio that has a cassette player, rechargeable lantern, and radio. It was so popular at that time, and if you had that particular brand, you were seen as a big girl in school, so you should have that.
I got carried away one night during night prep because I was so hyped for some reason I can't remember. I was listening to my radio at night prep instead of reading, and the boarding house master came and seized my radio, and you know what? When the school seizes such items, you cannot get them back.
Normally, when we play music late at night, we keep a close eye out for the boarding house master, but I didn't see him coming, and he caught me red-handed.
I missed my radio so much since I loved listening to the midnight blues, and there was a programme that was one of my favorites; it was a programme whereby people call in and express or send love to the people who they love on the radio, or pick a song that the radio host would play for their loved one. I enjoyed that programme so much, but when my radio was seized, I wasn't happy, and my Saturdays were especially boring.
But one day, something happened. I was going to the boarding house master's quarters to buy snacks, and I saw that the master who seized my radio had brought out lots of seized items and kept them in front of his door. There were lots of contrabands seized from students, but I was lucky to spot my radio, and immediately I picked it up, hid it, and walked straight to my classroom. And we lived happily ever after with my radio while being careful.
I have always loved radios, and this Muzen OTR Portable Radio is more than just a small box; it is like my little communication buddy.
So let me start by introducing my buddy; I call her Ogadi, but she is popularly known as the MUZEN OTR Portable Retro FM Radio Bluetooth Speaker-Walnutwood, and she has the following features:
When this radio arrived, it was well packaged. It comes in a light brown leather bag that screams class. Oh my, when I opened the package, I was like, "Yeah, what in God's name is this lovely packaging?" I loved how protected it was from damage.
Here is a picture of the light brown leather bag. This bag can't just be for a radio, no way; I had to take a picture with it to add to my outfit. Isn't it so lovely?
ANTENNA: This antenna is designed to help improve reception on your OTR Wood radio. (Detachtable).
AUX: This is basically an audio input, to which you may attach any player that you choose. This could be anything from an outdated cassette deck to a cutting-edge player like an mp3 player or even a smartphone.
A CHARGING CABLE: This charging cable is also brown to match the wooden colour of the radio. The cable is so durable.
BATTERY LIFE: Wondering how long I use my radio? For me personally, the battery lasts up to 2 days without charging it. Keep in mind that I work and that many times I turn it on by 5:30 p.m. and it stays on until the next day (morning), when I leave for work by 10 a.m. The 1000 mAh built-in rechargeable battery provides 10 hours of playback in Bluetooth mode and 20 hours of playback in FM mode. It has a significant amount of battery life.
A STAND: This gives a more comfortable viewing experience and provides stabilization. In my opinion, this is for aesthetic purposes.
What are vinyl records
In a nutshell, vinyl records are disks that store music. To play the music they need to be placed on a record player and once they rotate with a needle in place, the music starts to play. Typically, the needle runs inwards, starting from the outside edge. Vinyl versions of gramophone or phonograph records are made using polyvinyl chloride plastic, with engravings on each side. You often need to flip the record onto the other side to play the additional stored music.
What happened to vinyl records
As with many other day-to-day concepts, vinyl records were blown out of the water due to technological advancements. Similarly, the way we listen to music has changed over the years. The sheer quantity of music available to us now is almost overwhelming – and it changes in the blink of an eye, with new tracks knocking old ones from the top spot on a weekly basis in the charts. The concept of listening to a single album from start to finish isn’t on the agenda for many of us these days, with so many other distractions on the cards.
QR codes are becoming increasingly common on drug packaging. They can be used to provide more information about the drug, such as its dosage, side effects, and how to use it. QR codes can also be used to link to a video demonstration of the drug being used. This can be helpful for patients who are new to medication and want to learn more about how to take it. Additionally, QR codes can be used to connect patients with pharmacies that offer automatic refills or home delivery. This can make it easier for patients to get their medications refilled without having to visit the pharmacy in person. And, what's better, when it comes to generating a QR code, you can even customize it how you like. For example, you can add your own logo, and brand colors, and even change the shape of the QR code.
2) Clinical Trials
QR codes are also being used in clinical trials. Clinical trials are research studies that test new drugs or treatments. By scanning a QR code on a patient's wristband, researchers can access information about the patient's medical history and current medications. This helps researchers keep track of the patient's progress throughout the trial and makes it easier to retrieve data from the study.
3) Patient Engagement
QR codes can also be used to engage patients in their own healthcare. For example, QR codes can be used on hospital discharge papers to provide patients with instructions on how to care for themselves at home. Patients can also use QR codes to access information about their condition or treatment plan. This can help them better understand their health and make informed decisions about their care.
Unfortunately, as you get older, you will likely encounter more and more health issues, and hearing loss is one of the most common illnesses associated with old age. There are numerous indicators that you may be suffering from mild hearing loss. If you often mumble to people or have trouble communicating in groups, you might need hearing aids.
What is a hearing aid?
A hearing aid is a device designed to improve hearing by making sound audible to a person with hearing loss. Hearing aids are classified as medical devices in most countries and regulated by the respective regulations. Small audio amplifiers such as personal sound amplification products or other plain sound reinforcing systems cannot be sold as "hearing aids". #wikipedia
Can technology enhance the mental health of elderly adults?
Observing older individuals struggle with memory issues, low mood, anxiety, or a lack of ambition, especially during periods of physical separation, can be heartbreaking. You may be looking for alternatives to mental health consultations because you have to wait so long.
Reaching out to family members or religious leaders may be beneficial when discussing stressors. Alternatively, self-help books may empower older people who choose to keep their struggles private with new skills and perspectives. But with the rise of mental health mobile apps, telepsychiatry services, social media, and wearable technologies, what role does technology play in treatment?
Technology can improve the mental health and medication management of older adults.
Combating age-based stereotypes
Moving to the virtual realm
What about mobile applications that remove the human element? In this case, the findings indicate that mobile apps can be complementary but are insufficient as sole therapies for mental illnesses.

Which apps might elderly people benefit from the most?
Wellness apps developed by the federal government (including Mindfulness Coach, COVID Coach, and CBT-i Coach) can assist in teaching skills, regulating sleep, and tracking symptoms to augment treatment of common mental diseases. For a reason, Medisafe is the most popular app for medication reminders: it provides superior privacy protection (and with the premium subscription, you can receive medication reminders in celebrity voices).

With rampant cyber threats, you must keep your laptop free from viruses. A computer virus can result in a damaged OS or even stolen personal data. Here are some helpful tips.
Be Careful What You Install
One of the most common ways of getting a virus is by downloading an infected file. Lesser-known programs, unauthorized apps, and pirated software often contain malicious code. A good anti-malware package will alert you when something is suspicious. However, it's best to stay vigilant about what you install. Sometimes a virus can be a challenge to remove. However, you can get rid of a potentially unwanted program (PUP) by removing it from your laptop. App removal is the first step. But the effects might also mean you have to reinstall your OS.
Don't Let Others Use Your Computer
While you can do all you can to prevent viruses and malware, others might not be as assertive. In addition, many people often ignore threats or are completely oblivious. For these reasons, it's best to not let other people use your laptop unless you monitor them. However, if you can't avoid this, try setting user access controls in your guest profiles. Access restrictions can block specific sites, disallow downloading and severely limit the interaction with your OS. However, as often is the case, user error will likely cause an infection.
How to add someone to WhatsApp without asking for their number
Today, WhatsApp is the primary program that most people use to stay connected. Neither calls, SMS, nor other platforms are as popular as the Meta app in Argentina as well as most of the rest of the world. However, it is a time-consuming procedure. If no one shares the contact information with us, it is time to get a new number.
Fortunately, there are several WhatsApp methods, one of which involves using a QR code to add a contact without asking for their phone number or scheduling it.
The only thing you need to do is be close to the other person and have WhatsApp open on both phones for a simple exchange using the camera.
Alexa and Prime fans who don't mind missing out on a few apps will love Amazon's Fire tablet lineup. With Prime Day approaching, the shop is offering Prime members a 40% discount on its largest slates for adults and children. The Amazon Fire HD 10 has been reduced to $80 from $150, while the Fire HD 10 Kids has been reduced to $120 from $200.
Both include a 10.1-inch full HD display, a 2 GHz octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of extendable storage. It's worth noting, though, that the price is just for the Fire HD 10 with "lock screen advertisements." That means you'll see targeted adverts in the tablet's power-saving screensaver and at the bottom of the main screen. Once you've acquired the service, you'll have to pay a one-time fee to get rid of the sponsored communications for good.
HD 10 at Amazon - $80 Buy Fire HD Kids at Amazon - $12The Fire HD 10 is a great tablet for browsing the web, checking social media, watching streaming apps, and making Zoom calls. The major drawback is the lack of Google apps, as well as a general shortage of apps compared to the Play Store or Apple App Store.
That doesn't rule out the possibility of a terrific deal on one of the handsets. While Amazon isn't offering any discounts on the iPhone 12 series, other merchants and carriers are.
