<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who among us these days doesn’t have a mobile phone or laptop? These devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, whether we are talking about simplified communication, work and productivity, access to information or entertainment. But do you know what type of phone or laptop you own? In this article, we’ll give you tips on how to find out.</p>
<p>Do you own a phone or laptop, but almost all you know about it is the colour and brand? Don’t worry you’re not the only one! That’s why we’re going to show you a few ways to quickly and easily figure out what type of phone or laptop you have. By doing so, you can learn more about what features and technology your device has so you can expand your options and get the most out of it. So let’s not take any more time and let’s get started!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do I find out the type of phone?</h2>
<p>Finding out what type of phone it is is relatively easy, and there are several ways to do it. Here are the three main methods!</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) In the settings</h3>
<ul>
<li>Android – Open the “Settings” app, press “About Phone” (or a similar option) – the phone model is listed there.</li>
<li>iOS (Apple) – Open the “Settings” app, go to “General” and then “Information” or “About Device”. Here you will find the model and operating system.</li>
</ul>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-7.png" alt="" class="wp-image-535" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-7.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-7-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-7-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) Online by IMEI number</h3>
<ul>
<li>On your phone, find the dial pad you normally use to dial a phone number when you want to call an unsaved contact.</li>
<li>Dial: *#06#.</li>
<li>You will see different codes. Select an IMEI code that has 15 digits.</li>
<li>Write down the code or copy it to your clipboard.</li>
<li>Open imei.info/en/ on your mobile phone or laptop.</li>
<li>Type or paste the 15-digit code into the text box for the IMEI.</li>
<li>Check that you are human and check that you are not a robot.</li>
<li>Once verified, click on “Check” or “Check”.</li>
<li>Done! You will be redirected to a page about your smartphone. Your device type is located right at the top.</li>
</ul>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-8.png" alt="" class="wp-image-536" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-8.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-8-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-8-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) On the back of the phone or packaging</h3>
<p>Some models have the serial number and type on the back. If you still have the original box, you can also find the model information here.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do I find out the type of laptop?</h2>
<p>For example, if you’ve received a new laptop or bought a second-hand model, it’s probably useful to know what type it is. You can figure this out in different ways, depending on the operating system and the information available. Here are a few ways to do that.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) System information</h3>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Windows</h4>
<ul>
<li>Press “Windows + R”. This will open the “Run” window.</li>
<li>Type “msinfo32” in the text box and press Enter.</li>
<li>The “System Information” window will open. You will find information about your laptop type under “System Type”.</li>
</ul>

Have you heard of the terms “virtual reality” and “augmented reality”? What are they, how do they differ, and how can you avoid getting confused by their definitions?</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-525" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is Virtual Reality (VR)?</strong></h2>
<p>Have you ever wanted to play a game as if you were in a completely different world? Or explore places you’ve never physically visited? It’s not science fiction; it’s virtual reality, or VR for short. To put it simply, virtual reality is like a computer-generated simulation that can transport you to exotic locations on our planet or immerse you in the heat of battle in an exciting video game. You can interact with VR using voice commands or through movements and gestures. There are two main types of VR: immersive and non-immersive. Immersive VR, like VR goggles, allows you to fully enter the virtual world, while non-immersive VR uses external devices like a keyboard and mouse for interaction.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="490" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-1.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-526" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-1.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-1-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-1-768x433.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Where is Virtual Reality Used?</strong></h2>
<p>One of the most common uses of virtual reality is in video games, where players can fully immerse themselves in the game environment. Additionally, VR is employed in education, allowing students to simulate different scenarios and environments safely.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-2.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-527" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-2.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-2-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-2-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<p> </p>
<p>It is also used in the healthcare industry for patient rehabilitation, medical training, and pain management. In sales and marketing, VR provides unique customer experiences and product demonstrations, such as virtual property tours and virtual clothing try-ons. Furthermore, designers and architects use VR to present their ideas in three dimensions, leading to better designs.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Are Virtual Reality Glasses?</strong></h2>
<p>VR glasses, also known as goggles, are headsets that enhance your visual and auditory experiences. These devices typically include integrated speakers and may even respond to eye movement and gestures. Some modern VR glasses provide haptic feedback, responding to the intensity of control inputs.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="490" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-3.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-528" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-3.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-3-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-3-768x433.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to Choose Virtual Reality Glasses?</strong></h2>
<p>When selecting VR goggles, consider essential factors such as connectivity. Basic models connect to smartphones, but ensure your phone has a sufficiently high display resolution. If you plan to connect VR glasses to a computer, invest in powerful components, especially a robust graphics card. Some VR glasses are designed for use with gaming consoles, offering gamers a unique perspective on their favorite titles.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is Augmented Reality (AR)?</strong></h2>
<p>Augmented reality, or AR, isn’t far removed from reality; it intersects with and extends it. AR incorporates virtual elements to describe, explain, or highlight real-world phenomena, enriching and expanding our perception of reality. Unlike VR, which often requires special glasses, AR doesn’t demand such devices and has a broader range of applications, from computers and smartphones to navigation systems.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="490" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-4.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-529" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-4.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-4-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-4-768x433.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Where is Augmented Reality Used?</strong></h2>
<p>Augmented reality has various practical applications. For example, it’s used in home renovation planning through smartphone apps, allowing users to virtually add furniture or change wall colors. In entertainment, AR enhances video games and mobile apps by integrating digital elements into the real world, creating interactive and entertaining experiences. AR is also beneficial for drivers, providing clearer and more comprehensible 2D maps, including directional signs and road markings on displayed roads. Education benefits from AR as it allows students to interact with complex learning materials in 3D, aiding comprehension and retention.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-5.png" alt="Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World" class="wp-image-530" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-5.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-5-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/image-5-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Summary</strong></h2>
<p>In summary, augmented and virtual reality offer immense potential and find applications across various domains, enhancing our quality of life and opening up new possibilities. They have the power to transform industries and provide unique, immersive experiences that were once the stuff of science fiction.</p>Článek <a href="https://zonefortech.com/revolutionizing-reality-how-augmented-and-virtual-technologies-transform-our-world/">Revolutionizing Reality: How Augmented and Virtual Technologies Transform Our World</a> se nejdříve objevil na <a href="https://zonefortech.com">Zone For Tech</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="579" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-509" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-300x200.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-768x511.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Basic questions when choosing a printer</h2>
<p>Before you start exploring hundreds of different printers, be clear about your expectations and the realistic use of the printer’s features. But you probably already have your idea and budget. But to make sure you take everything into account, answer the following questions:</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How often and how many pages will I print?</h3>
<p>If you only need to print a few pages a week, affordable home inkjet printers are a good choice. They have reasonable print quality and speed, and you can forgive the occasional purchase of a more expensive cartridge.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="502" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-1.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-510" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-1.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-1-300x173.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-1-768x443.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<p>Their advantages include easy installation (just connect to your computer and within a few minutes you can print the first pages) and logically designed controls that can be easily handled by children who need to print out teaching material. For frequent printing of large quantities of documents (but also scripts), we already recommend a high-quality laser printer. They work quickly, the print quality is suitable for longer archiving and the running costs are surprisingly low compared to inkjet printers.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will I print in color or black and white?</h3>
<p>You’ll appreciate the capabilities of a black and white printer wherever you don’t need colour charts, images, maps or colour photos – whether in the home or in a smaller office. Otherwise, consider a colour printer, which has more print use. When choosing one, look at the print resolution, colour print speed and the price of replacement colour cartridges to be prepared for how much it actually costs to run such a printer.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="381" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-2.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-511" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-2.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-2-300x131.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-2-768x336.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Do I want the printer to be able to copy and scan as well?</h3>
<p>If so, then a multifunction printer is the obvious choice. It can print (usually in black and white and colour), scan to file and make copies for existing documents or images. While the price of a 3-in-1 device is a bit higher compared to a “traditional” printer, given the technological advances and competitiveness of brands, the prices of multifunction printers are not exorbitant. So instead of having two or three devices near your desk, you have one sleek, space-saving device that works for you the way you need it to.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Do I care about print quality and durability?</h3>
<p>In the long term, higher quality black and white printing is attributed to laser printers. Ink-jet printers are referred to in relation to higher quality colour printing and photos. It is not only the printing technology that is decisive, but also the quality of the ink cartridges and the print resolution (density of printing dots, resulting sharpness of the image, rendering in detail). If you want to print photos on photo paper at home in the quality of a photo lab (or even higher), then don’t overlook the newcomer in the printer range – photo printers.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Do I need to print on sizes other than A4?</h3>
<p>Business cards, photos, stickers, leaflets, printing on paper of various formats and weights. A quality printer can do all this in a short time. Just set the input parameters correctly and insert the appropriate paper into the tray. In this context, therefore, look for information on supported formats, for example, supported paper sizes A6, A5, A4 (larger printers also A3 – maximum print size 297 × 420 mm), supported photo paper sizes 10 × 15, 13 × 18, 9 × 13 cm.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="451" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-3.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-512" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-3.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-3-300x156.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-3-768x398.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Printing technologies and printer types</h2>
<p>Among the most widespread are currently inkjet and laser printers (well rated are HP, Canon, Epson, Brother). Both technologies have their undeniable advantages, and although laser printers seemed to gain a significant edge over inkjet printers, tank ink printers have shaken their position. On what principle do inkjet and laser printing work? What are needle printers and printers with thermal sublimation technology?</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inkjet printer</h3>
<p>Inkjet printers include ink cartridges, most commonly black or CMYK spectrum (cyan – Cyan, magenta – Magenta, yellow – Yellow, black/key – Key).</p>
<p>Once the information is transferred from the computer, laptop or smartphone to the printer, the digital data is visualized and the print head transfers it line by line to the paper.</p>
<p>Priced to be among the more affordable, they have become the best-selling printers for the home. You can buy an inexpensive branded inkjet printer for as little as $65.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="489" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-4.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-513" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-4.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-4-300x169.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-4-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<p>With occasional and low-maintenance use, you will be happy with the cost of operation. However, if you print hundreds to thousands of pages a month, running an inkjet printer will cost you significantly more on an annual basis than buying a quality laser printer with economical operation. The versatility of inkjet printers also speaks in their favour – they are most popular in 3-in-1 (print, scan, copy), black and white and high-quality colour printing and perfect connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Laser Printer</h3>
<p>Laser printers were a quick response to the higher consumption of printing technology. While until recently they belonged almost exclusively to the office environment, with their shrinking size and falling price they have become a welcome solution for many homes. Not to mention that laser printers are also unsurpassed in print speed.</p>
<p>The cheapest laser printers can be purchased from as little as $90. If print speed/sharpness, document printing, or long-term archiving without compromising print quality is important to you, a laser printer will delight you with its economical operation even under high monthly workloads.</p>
<p>On what principle does it work? Let’s try to explain it in layman’s terms. The printer stores the document data in memory and the printer processor defines the image (lines, margins, alignment).</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="484" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-5.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-514" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-5.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-5-300x167.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-5-768x427.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<p>The main unit of the laser printer then controls the laser beam according to the processed data and transmits the image to a conductive cylinder with a selenium layer.</p>
<p>The areas illuminated by the beam are then captured by toner dust particles, which are imprinted on the paper and thermally fixed. All this happens in seconds when printing a single document.</p>
<p>High-quality laser printers produce 20-30 black-and-white pages per minute, taking barely 6 seconds for the first printout (technology activation). The yield of a single toner, depending on the brand and product, can be up to 5,000 pages. An added bonus – the powder (unlike ink) doesn’t dry out, even if you don’t use the printer for long periods of time.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dot matrix printer</h3>
<p>They are being pushed out of offices by universal laser printers, and their use in the home is almost nil and, let’s be honest, even boring. They can’t cope with complicated graphics. Needle printers have been marginalised, but even so, improved models sell well. They can show their potential especially when printing accounting documents, inventory lists, various notebooks and tickets. They are therefore well suited for printing text and instant copies. The advantages include high accuracy, reliability, long service life and minimal breakdowns.</p>
<p>They work on a principle similar to a typewriter. The more needles a dot matrix printer has, the faster and better the print quality. If you read from the printer description that the print speed is 680 characters per second, it can print one standard A4 with 1,800 characters in less than 3 seconds! Dot matrix printers use ‘continuous paper’, which typically features separable perforations on the sides.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="518" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-6.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-515" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-6.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-6-300x179.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-6-768x457.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thermosublimation Printer</h3>
<p>He may appear to be a newcomer to technology. However, thermal sublimation printing technology needed a few years to “upgrade” to show its full potential and iron out many of its shortcomings. If you too are fed up with digital photos getting lost in folders or clouds and want to hold real photos in your hands once again, you’ll be happy with a thermosublimation printer.</p>
<p>The printer includes a roll of thin film on which the dyes (yellow, magenta and turquoise) are applied. By the action of heat, the solid dye is released from the film, changes to a gaseous state (sublimation) and passes to the surface layer of the photo paper, where it settles and changes back to a solid state.</p>
<p>A miracle in practice, right? A single spot can take on up to an incredible 256 levels of colour intensity depending on the heat applied. Once all the layers have been applied (including the all-important protective layer that enhances the durability of the photograph), the resulting image is exceptionally realistic and preserves the colour and detail of a digital image.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="510" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-7.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-516" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-7.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-7-300x176.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-7-768x450.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other useful printer features</h2>
<p>Now that the introduction to printing technologies is over, let’s take a closer look at what features modern printers offer and choose from those that will make working with the printer more enjoyable and, in particular, easier during everyday use.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Colour/Black & White Printing: </h3>
<p>the basic function you buy a printer for. You can’t do without cartridges/toners for black and white and colour printing, so look at the price of the printer as well as the price of replacement cartridges.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Scanner: </h3>
<p>Allows you to scan physical paper documents, images and photos into digital form on your computer and save in one of the supported formats. You can buy a scanner separately or it is a handy feature of a multifunction printer.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Copying: </h3>
<p>a feature that lets you make extra copies of paper documents in a short time. The number of copies can also be set. To save time when copying large quantities of documents, choose a printer with an ADF (automatic document feeder) function.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Automatic double-sided printing: </h3>
<p>Or Duplex means that the printer can print paper from both sides without your assistance (saving time, paper, energy). Classic duplex works by having the printer first print paper from one side and then pull it back. In internal duplexing, the paper is turned to the opposite side while still inside the printer.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="462" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-8.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-517" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-8.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-8-300x159.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-8-768x408.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Borderless printing: </h3>
<p>Or even borderless printing. A feature you can use not only for printing photos, but also charts, tables, maps, labels and stickers.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Support for direct printing: </h3>
<p>you don’t have to turn on your computer or laptop to print your document. You can insert a USB or memory card (removable media) directly into the printer. Functionality is on the decline with the proliferation of wireless technologies. In fact, it’s easier to send documents to print via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, without physically approaching the printer.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Display: </h3>
<p>Can be simple, where you can see basic print information, or larger and touch-sensitive, allowing you to make advanced settings. The touch screen is secured with a PIN code.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Multiple paper trays: </h3>
<p><strong>Consumption</strong>: One of the disadvantages of inkjet printers is their increased consumption on maintenance cycles (20% on average). One solution to reduce frequent cleaning of printheads is to leave the printer on standby and switch from automatic cleaning to manual cleaning.</p>
<p><strong>Printing costs:</strong> without lengthy calculations and comparisons – laser printers have significantly lower printing costs.</p>
<p><strong>Print resolution:</strong> also referred to as dpi (dot per inch). This is the number of dots that the printer can print on a 1-inch (2.54 cm) line. The minimum print resolution is 300 × 300 dpi, with a maximum of 1200 × 6000 dpi. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the image.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="870" height="486" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-9.png" alt="How to choose a printer?" class="wp-image-518" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-9.png 870w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-9-300x168.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-9-768x429.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Print speed black and white/colour:</strong> It is specified as the number of pages per minute in both colour modes. The average B&W print speed is considered to be approximately 15-17 ppm, while the average colour print speed is approximately half that – 8 ppm.</p>
<p><strong>Supported print formats: </strong>most commonly A4, A5, A6 paper (more expensive printers also A3), photo paper with dimensions 10 × 15, 13 × 19, 9 × 13 cm.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Printer connectivity</h2>
<p>The development of printers is constantly moving towards greater user comfort so that their operation is reasonably simple and intuitive. The basic method is to connect the printer to a LAN, via an Ethernet cable. Any device that is plugged into your local internet network can then send print commands to the printer.</p>
<p>However, on most printers (probably for precautionary reasons) you will also find a USB port that allows you to instantly connect your computer or laptop to the printer or insert a USB key if the model supports direct printing. It’s clear that wireless technology couldn’t bypass the printers that already form a staple among the electronics in many homes. So you can send documents and photos to print from your tablet or smartphone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with ease.</p>Článek <a href="https://zonefortech.com/how-to-choose-a-printer/">How to choose a printer?</a> se nejdříve objevil na <a href="https://zonefortech.com">Zone For Tech</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the arrival of the new windows 11 operating system comes new tips and tricks that will make it easier for you to use this system.<br>I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that sometimes windows 11 is complicated and unintuitive. This article will make your life easier when using windows 11.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.Dark mode in windows 11</h2>
<p>Dark mode not only contributes to resting your eyes, but can also drain your laptop battery. Windows 11 has a dark mode.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1-1024x576.webp" alt="Windows 11 dark mode" class="wp-image-115" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11DarkMode-1.webp 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Find a blank space on the desktop by right-clicking. Select Personalize from the menu and then Colors. As the first item you will see Choose your mode and from the selection on the right side choose Dark</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2.Snap layouts</h2>
<p>If you are like me, you have many programs open. In that case, it is difficult to know what we have open.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11SnapLayout-1024x576.webp" alt="snapping layouts in windows 11" class="wp-image-116" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11SnapLayout-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11SnapLayout-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11SnapLayout-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11SnapLayout.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>The new and expanded snap feature makes organising windows a breeze. Use your mouse to find Maximize/Resize and choose how you want to organize your windows. There are many options available. Each of them is applicable to a different solution. The choice is yours.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3.Hide unwanted Taskbar buttons</h2>
<p>Too many icons is not good for organization and I often don’t know where I have what. That’s why in windows 11 you can hide them.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="970" height="606" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11TaskBar-Buttons.webp" alt="Customization of taskbar" class="wp-image-117" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11TaskBar-Buttons.webp 970w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11TaskBar-Buttons-300x187.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11TaskBar-Buttons-768x480.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" /></figure>
<p>You can hide unwanted icons by clicking on an empty taskbar and selecting Taskbat settings. If you don’t see them, click Show more options. Then use the toggles to turn on/off things you don’t need</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4.Move the start button in windows 11</h2>
<p>For some it is a nice change, but for many it is not. The start button in the middle. Fortunately, there is an option to move the start button as before.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="682" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1024x682.webp" alt="start button on left for windows 11" class="wp-image-118" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1024x682.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-300x200.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-768x512.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-930x620.webp 930w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>To move the start button, just right-click on an empty taskbar and select Taskbar settings. Then click on Taskbar behaviors and in Taskbar aligment select your preferred option.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5.Windows 11 Focus assist</h2>
<p>Personally, I need peace for my work and I don’t want to be disturbed by notifications. That’s why Focus Assistant is here. It helps you focus on what’s really important.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="970" height="606" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Focus.webp" alt="Focus assist in windows 11" class="wp-image-119" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Focus.webp 970w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Focus-300x187.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Focus-768x480.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" /></figure>
<p>Focus assistant can be found in the settings under Focus assist. If you select <strong>Alarms only</strong>, alarms are the only notifications that will disturb you. You can use the <strong>Priority only</strong> option to choose other notifications that should also be permitted, and choose times that Focus assistant should be automatically enabled.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. New Alt + Tab feature</h2>
<p>Like me, you must use Alt + Tab to switch application windows. With Windows 11, you can also switch between Edge browser windows. Edge has been more integrated into Windows 11, and that’s why we have this option.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11AltTab-1024x576.webp" alt="windows11 alt tab feature" class="wp-image-120" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11AltTab-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11AltTab-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11AltTab-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11AltTab.webp 1366w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>To make this possible, go to Settings > System and multi tasking. From the menu, select the Alt + Tab section and select Open windows only to ignore Edge tabs.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7.Widget everywhere in windows 11</h2>
<p>Widgets can be considered as mini applications that make our lives easier. They are usually hidden in the taskbar next to the start button.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Widget-1024x576.webp" alt="windows 11 widgets" class="wp-image-121" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Widget-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Widget-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Widget-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Widget.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Of course there is the possibility to customize the widgets as you need. This can be done by clicking on the button and then on the profile picture. Then click on “+” and add a widget to display.</p>
<p>If you get tired of a widget, you can remove it using the X in the upper right corner.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8.Start menu shortcuts</h2>
<p>By right-clicking on the start button or using the Windows + X keyboard shortcut, a very useful menu is displayed that gives you access to various parts of windows 11.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="970" height="606" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11MenuShortCuts.webp" alt="start menu shortcuts in windows11" class="wp-image-122" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11MenuShortCuts.webp 970w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11MenuShortCuts-300x187.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11MenuShortCuts-768x480.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" /></figure>
<p>There are many useful things available that are useful to practically everyone. It will definitely make working with windows 11 much easier and more efficient.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9.Enhance your sound</h2>
<p>No matter if you listen to sounds through headphones or speakers, you can always improve the sound with the help of windows 11 when you’re playing on your favourite <a href="http://localhost/2022/12/28/how-to-choose-gaming-chair-the-ultimate-guide/">gaming chair</a>.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-1024x683.webp" alt="getting better sound" class="wp-image-123" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-1024x683.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-300x200.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-768x512.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2-930x620.webp 930w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Sound-2.webp 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>To enhance the sound, right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar and select the sound setting.</p>
<p>Next, select the sound icon and choose from the enhance sound options. This will give you a much better sound than before. It will also make it easier to work with Windows 11.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Pin frequently used apps in windows 11</h2>
<p>The applications you use the most need to be always at hand. That’s why it’s good to pin them to the taskbar.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="970" height="606" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/winn11UsedApps.webp" alt="Frequently used apps in windows 11 os" class="wp-image-124" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/winn11UsedApps.webp 970w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/winn11UsedApps-300x187.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/winn11UsedApps-768x480.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" /></figure>
<p>To do this, click on the start button and you’ll find the app you need most. Then right click on it. From the menu that follows, click on add to the place that suits you best.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">11.Customize the Start Menu</h2>
<p>I’m sure you want to get a jump start on your offer as much as I do. The possibilities are great and will definitely make your life easier.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="682" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1-1024x682.webp" alt="Start menu customization in windows 11" class="wp-image-125" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1-1024x682.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1-300x200.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1-768x512.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1-930x620.webp 930w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11StartMenu-1.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>To edit the start menu, go to settings and Pesonalization and select start. Then use the toggle switch to customize the menu as you want. If you select the folders option, you can create a shortcut to frequently used folders.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">12. Expanded right-click menu</h2>
<p>Sometimes you need everything at the click of a mouse. That’s why in windows 11 you can add a right-click menu.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="970" height="606" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11RightClick-2.webp" alt="Better right click menu in windows 11" class="wp-image-126" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11RightClick-2.webp 970w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11RightClick-2-300x187.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11RightClick-2-768x480.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" /></figure>
<p>Sometimes it happens that you miss some thing and you don’t know where it is. That’s why when you press the right button, just select the last item and it is Show more options, which will expand your options what to do with the folder or file.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">14.Custom screenshots</h2>
<p>Like me, you need to take a screenshot sometime. We usually use the Print Screen key for this. But that’s an old way that doesn’t have as many options.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2-1024x572.webp" alt="windows 11 snipping tool" class="wp-image-127" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2-1024x572.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2-300x168.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2-768x429.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2-1536x858.webp 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/snippingTool-2.webp 1917w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>If you want to improve your screenshots, use the key combination Windows + Shift + S. This will launch the Snipoing tool, which gives you a large variety of options to take a screenshot.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">15. Windows 11 – Voice typing</h2>
<p>Speaking is faster than writing. That’s why Windows 11 has improved the ability to dictate text.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/voice-1024x576.webp" alt="Voice typing" class="wp-image-128" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/voice-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/voice-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/voice-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/voice.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Use the keyboard shortcut Windwos + H to start. This will start Voice typing, which allows you to dictate text. This is then transcribed as you wish. Isn’t this a great way to speed up your work?</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">16. Battery life</h2>
<p>If you use a laptop like me, you definitely want to extend the life of the battery in case you don’t have the possibility of charging. Windows 11 has a great overview of battery usage.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="582" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2-1024x582.webp" alt="Battery overview in windows 11 system" class="wp-image-129" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2-1024x582.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2-300x170.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2-768x436.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2-1536x872.webp 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11batteryLife-2.webp 1620w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>To view, go to settings and then select System followed by Power & battery. Then see which application uses your battery the most. You can also choose to view detailed information to give you even more information. You can optimize your battery usage and extend the life of your laptop.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">17. Virtual desktops in Windows 11</h2>
<p>I often run out of screen space. Windows 11 has a great solution in the form of viral desktops.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Virual-2-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-130" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Virual-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Virual-2-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Virual-2-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/win11Virual-2.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>You can use virtual desktops to expand your workplace. Click on the Task View next to the start button to view it. Then just select New desktop. This will create a new desktop. You can switch between them using the Windows keyboard shortcut + Ctrl and the arrow keys on the keyboard.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final words</h2>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today i will show you how to download apps for android devices for free. Personally, I know that navigating the play store is difficult and frustrating. In this guide, I’ll show you how to download the app you need fast and easy.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overview</h2>
<p>Apps for android can be downloaded in the play store and it can be done in two ways. Without a doubt downloading android apps from google play store using a <a href="https://zonefortech.com/smartphone-buying-guide-how-to-buy-the-best-mobile-phone/">smartphone</a> is much easier.</p>
<p>The second way is to use your computer and the google play website. This way of downloading is longer but more convenient.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Download apps with Google play store using your smartphone</h2>
<p>The first step is to find the play store, sometimes referred to as the Google play store or Play Store, on your <a href="https://zonefortech.com/smartphone-buying-guide-how-to-buy-the-best-mobile-phone/">smartphone</a>. Most of the time the store is hidden in the Google folder or among other apps.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="485" height="1024" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_194832_com.huawei.android.launcher-485x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-87" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_194832_com.huawei.android.launcher-485x1024.jpg 485w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_194832_com.huawei.android.launcher-142x300.jpg 142w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_194832_com.huawei.android.launcher.jpg 512w" sizes="(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px" /></figure>
<p>The first step is to find the play store, sometimes referred to as the Google play store or Play Store, on your <a href="http://localhost/2022/12/27/smartphone-buying-guide-how-to-buy-the-best-mobile-phone/">smartphone</a>. Most of the time the store is hidden in the Google folder or among other apps.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="485" height="1024" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_195108_com.android.vending-485x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_195108_com.android.vending-485x1024.jpg 485w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_195108_com.android.vending-142x300.jpg 142w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot_20221230_195108_com.android.vending.jpg 512w" sizes="(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px" /></figure>
<p>The next step after you have selected the application you are looking for is to click on it. You will see detailed information about the app, including a pictures or videos. If you want, just select Install and wait for the app to install.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Download apps using google play websites</h2>
<p>First you need to open <a href="https://play.google.com/">Google Play</a> website and on top click on Apps as showed on image below.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="540" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02-1024x540.png" alt="" class="wp-image-90" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02-1024x540.png 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02-300x158.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02-768x405.png 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02-1536x810.png 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Snimek-obrazovky-2022-12-30-v-13.25.02.png 1896w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>After that, you will see a page where you can see all the apps available on google play.</p>
<p>All android apps are divided into categories, according to their focus and needs. When you find a category or application, an arrow will appear to show other applications in the category.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smartphones were just the beginning – today you can control your entire household with them. The Smart home concept has stopped being a sci-fi fantasy or a tech geek’s plaything and has become a reality accessible to everyone. You can build a smart home on your own, without pulling cables and complicated installation. And you get a helper that simplifies everyday activities, increases home security and reduces energy costs.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="407" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755-1024x407.webp" alt="smarthome vector" class="wp-image-140" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755-1024x407.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755-300x119.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755-768x305.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755-1536x610.webp 1536w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/isometric-smart-home-elements-flowchart_1284-54755.webp 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to build a smart home?</h2>
<p>When planning your smart home, you should always consider product compatibility with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit. This aspect will help you develop your smart home and make it easier to control products from one app or even with your voice using with <a href="https://zonefortech.com/smartphone-buying-guide-how-to-buy-the-best-mobile-phone/">smartphone</a>.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHome-1024x576.webp" alt="smarthome with smartphone" class="wp-image-141" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHome-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHome-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHome-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHome.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Next, you need to be clear about how the different communication protocols work. Wi-Fi products connect directly to your home router. ZigBee and Z-Wave products that operate on radio waves will require a central unit (or bridge or hub). Bluetooth products connect directly to your mobile phone if you are in range, or to a central unit.</p>
<p>In an era of massive adoption of devices that work with Siri, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, consider the operating system of the smart devices in your home.</p>
<p>Don’t worry! Even a less experienced user can set up a smart home. Setting up individual tasks and smart appliances is intuitive and simple.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to get started with a smart home?</h2>
<p>The foundation of a smart home is a stable and fast internet connection with a high-quality Wi-Fi router. Devices in a smart home need a smartphone on which you download and install the manufacturer’s app. The next step in setting up a smart home is to integrate the product into a third-party mobile app such as Google Home, Apple HomeKit or Amazon Alexa.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/router-1024x576.webp" alt="wifi router" class="wp-image-142" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/router-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/router-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/router-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/router.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to smartly secure your home?</h2>
<p>Smart home or apartment security starts with access – locks, video doorbells or video doorbells are suitable solutions. Another option for securing your smart home are smart IP cameras that allow you to preview your home via a <a href="http://localhost/2022/12/27/smartphone-buying-guide-how-to-buy-the-best-mobile-phone/">smartphone</a>, possibly record footage and more. Smart alarms that can use sensors and sensors to guard your home in your absence. Last but not least, there are smart detectors designed to prevent major disasters – water leaks, smoke or gas detection.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/securityCamera-1024x576.webp" alt="smarthome security system" class="wp-image-143" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/securityCamera-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/securityCamera-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/securityCamera-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/securityCamera.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to heat your home smartly?</h2>
<p>Smart heating needs to be categorised according to the way you heat your home. Smart thermostatic heads are suitable for central heating, while a smart thermostat is ideal for heating through your own boiler. If you want to create the comfort of different temperatures in different rooms. You need to create so-called multi-zone heating using a thermostat and thermostatic heads from the same manufacturer.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHeating-1024x576.webp" alt="smarthome heating" class="wp-image-144" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHeating-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHeating-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHeating-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartHeating.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>The mobile app allows you to set the temperature remotely or use your phone’s location for automatic heating. You can also create a weekly schedule that you can change at any time as needed. You will appreciate the open window detection, where after a period of rapid temperature drop, the heating stops.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to intelligently illuminate the smart home?</h2>
<p>if you’ve never heard of a smart home as a whole, you’ve come across the term smart lighting. And it’s no wonder, smart lighting is simple, inexpensive and can greatly enhance, or sometimes even protect, your home environment. Moreover, smart lighting offers a wide range of control and compatibility options. You can control the intensity, change the colour and turn on/off the lighting via a mobile app, smart assistant or even using geolocation.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartLighting-1024x576.webp" alt="smart home illuminate" class="wp-image-145" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartLighting-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartLighting-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartLighting-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartLighting.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>The product portfolio in this category is also extensive. Keep in mind that the cheaper models generally do not have a lot of customisation options and cannot change colour. We further divide smart lights into two basic categories, WiFi smart lighting and lighting requiring a so-called bridge or central unit. </p>
<p>While WiFi-enabled smart lighting is cheaper, the main disadvantage is that every single bulb is directly connected to your router. Therefore, if you have a whole household equipped with smart lights, it can overload and therefore cause the whole home to malfunction. On the other hand, smart lighting with bridge works in such a way that only one device (central unit) is always connected to the WiFi router, which takes care of managing all the bulbs and lights. Besides the relief for the router, the bridge brings another advantage, because it allows you to control the lighting of your home even when you are not at home.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to use smart home voice assistants?</h2>
<p>Now it’s time to start asking the question, why bother with a mobile app when a few basic phrasesare enough to control a home? All three of the most popular smart home systems – Google Home (Google Assistant), Amazon Alexa (Alexa Assistant), Apple HomeKit (Siri Assistant) – have voice control built in.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartvoicecontrol-1024x576.webp" alt="smart home voice control" class="wp-image-146" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartvoicecontrol-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartvoicecontrol-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartvoicecontrol-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartvoicecontrol.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>What should we do if we don’t want to use the phone at home, ideally not at all? A smart home can also be controlled with a speaker or smartwatch with a built-in assistant. In general, the voice assistant in the speaker can be considered the centre of the entire smart home. In addition to the controls, we can also use apps for streaming music (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music), weather forecasts, traffic information or the latest news.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to use smart home scenarios and automation?</h2>
<p>You’re in a situation where you’re comfortable with your smart home and want to start using it to its full potential. Scenarios and automation can help you do that. A scenario allows you to trigger several actions at once – typically a “Good Morning” or “Good Night” scenario, where your voice assistant turns the lights on (off), the living room temperature up (down) and the fan on (off). There are no limits to your imagination here, you can create many scenarios and they can contain countless different commands.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartcontrol-1024x576.webp" alt="smart home control panel" class="wp-image-147" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartcontrol-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartcontrol-300x169.webp 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartcontrol-768x432.webp 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/smartcontrol.webp 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Automation, as the name suggests, is here to make the home work without you. In other words, automation allows you to trigger several actions at once without your knowledge, but only if a condition is met. Opening a window triggers the heating to turn off, opening a door causes the lights to turn on, or all sorts of reactions to home security breaches. The goal is to have everything important at the click of a button, on command or completely automatically.</p>Článek <a href="https://zonefortech.com/smart-home-building-guide-how-to-build-smart-home/">Smart Home Building Guide – How To Build Smart Home in 2023</a> se nejdříve objevil na <a href="https://zonefortech.com">Zone For Tech</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>The Black Screen app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store for Android devices. It provides a simple and straightforward solution for conserving battery life while still enjoying the audio content from videos.</p>
<p>Please note that the effectiveness of the app depends on the screen technology of your device. If your device has an LCD screen, the battery savings may be minimal since LCD screens require a constant backlight regardless of the displayed content.</p>
<p>Overall, Black Screen: Video Screen Off is a practical tool for users who want to optimize their battery usage while listening to video audio, providing a convenient solution to enjoy content without keeping the screen on.</p>
<p>You can download the Black Screen app for free from the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.japp.blackscreen&hl=en&gl=US" title="">Google Play</a> Store.</p>Článek <a href="https://zonefortech.com/tips-for-interesting-mobile-applications-for-android-and-ios-part-1/">Tips for interesting mobile applications for Android and iOS, Part 1</a> se nejdříve objevil na <a href="https://zonefortech.com">Zone For Tech</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The biggest smart home manufacturers are implementing Thread compatibility into their products, but what is it? We explain the protocol.</p>
<p>In recent years, the world of smart home products has witnessed remarkable advancements. Not only can you integrate technology to simplify your daily life, but these devices also communicate seamlessly with one another, effortlessly performing automated tasks without any manual input.</p>
<p>This impressive feat is made possible by the continuous evolution of wireless protocols that work tirelessly behind the scenes. Among the buzzworthy innovations, <a href="https://zonefortech.com/unleash-the-power-of-the-matter-standard-discover-its-impact-and-dont-miss-out/" title="Unleash the Power of the Matter Standard: Discover Its Impact and Don’t Miss Out!">Matter</a> has garnered significant attention. Serving as a unified standard, Matter ensures that products from various manufacturers harmoniously synchronize their operations. Additionally, another remarkable advancement to familiarize yourself with is Thread, a fascinating technological wizardry.</p>
<p>To shed light on these remarkable developments, we present an invaluable guide to Thread and its indispensable role in shaping the future of smart homes. Discover how this transformative technology is set to revolutionize your living space.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="nv-iframe-embed"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Built On Thread" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kuWhtkv5Qbc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Thread?</h2>
<p>Thread, a remarkable low-power wireless radio protocol, revolutionizes the way devices interact within your smart home ecosystem. Its core purpose is to enable seamless communication among devices, allowing them to effortlessly “talk” to one another.</p>
<p>While Thread shares some similarities with Zigbee and Z-Wave in terms of the desired outcome, its operational approach sets it apart. Unlike other protocols, Thread functions as a mesh network, transforming each compatible device in your household into an access point.</p>
<p>This ingenious design eliminates the traditional reliance on a central hub or access point, such as a router or smart hub. Instead, Thread-enabled devices collaborate and share communications, effectively distributing the workload. Consequently, each device acts as a mini-hub, negating the need for third-party hubs like the Philips Hue Bridge or fourth-generation Amazon Echo.</p>
<p>With Thread seamlessly weaving together your smart home devices, you’ll experience a new level of connectivity and convenience. Say goodbye to unnecessary hubs and embrace the power of a unified, self-reliant network that simplifies your daily life.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How does Thread affect your smart home?</h2>
<p>Unlocking the Potential of Thread: Advantages and Security</p>
<p>When exploring the world of wireless protocols for your smart home, Thread stands out by offering an array of compelling benefits.</p>
<p>First and foremost, Thread delivers notable advantages compared to other protocols. It ensures faster response times, enhanced reliability, and heightened security, all while consuming minimal power. This means your smart home devices can communicate swiftly and seamlessly, while also operating efficiently and conserving energy.</p>
<p>One standout feature of Thread is its decentralized nature. Unlike protocols that rely on a central hub connected to a router, Thread allows devices to establish direct connections with each other. This decentralized approach ensures uninterrupted control over your devices, even if one becomes unresponsive. For instance, your smart doorbell can maintain its functionality by directly linking with your smart lights, bypassing the need for a central controller like Google Assistant or Alexa.</p>
<p>Another notable aspect of Thread is its low latency bandwidth. This means it enables high-speed data exchanges similar to Z-Wave and Zigbee. However, what sets Thread apart is its support from Apple, making it a versatile choice for smart home ecosystems.</p>
<p>Thread leverages the efficient IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY protocol, resulting in reduced energy consumption for enabled devices. This is particularly beneficial for battery-powered devices such as doorbells, as they can operate for longer durations between charges.</p>
<p>Security is a paramount concern in the smart home realm, and Thread excels in this aspect as well. With AES encryption and robust banking-standard cryptography, Thread addresses vulnerabilities that exist in other protocols.

You can build a smart home yourself, without the need for complex cable installations. And you will gain a helper that simplifies daily tasks, enhances home security, and reduces energy costs.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple HomeKit</h2>
<p>Users of the iOS operating system don’t necessarily need a specialized hub with ZigBee or Z-Wave communication protocols to centralize their smart home. Products that work through the Apple Home app operate on the local network – you need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the controlled product. However, the possibility of remote control outside the local network – for example, from the other side of the world – comes into play when using a central unit such as Apple TV, Apple HomePod, or Apple iPad in HomeKit mode.</p>
<p>Apple HomeKit combines the control of smart appliances and components labeled “Works with Apple HomeKit” into a single application. Within the app, you can easily add additional homes and users. Apple HomeKit supports control through Apple Watch and even voice commands through Siri. The most convenient control is offered by multimedia devices like Apple TV or the smart speaker Apple HomePod.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pros</h3>
<ul>
<li>For local control, the need for a specialized hub is eliminated. </li>
<li>Products compatible with Apple HomeKit operate on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. </li>
<li>Convenient control through iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. </li>
<li>Voice control through Siri.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cons</h3>
<ul>
<li>Exclusive to Apple product owners. </li>
<li>Utilization of automation and remote control requires a HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub. </li>
<li>Functionality available in iOS 10 and higher.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Internet of Things</h2>
<p>Thanks to high-speed internet, the number of everyday devices and appliances that communicate with their users through the internet and send operational data to cloud services or other devices is constantly increasing. The Internet of Things represents one of the main pillars of the concept of a Smart Home.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bluetooth</h3>
<p>Bluetooth represents a standard for wireless communication between two or more devices, such as a computer, smartphone, smartwatch, or even smart home components. However, its disadvantage is the limited range, which is typically a few tens of meters.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Z-Wave</h3>
<p>Z-Wave is one of the most widely used protocols for wireless communication between devices in a smart home. It is an open protocol, which means that devices from different manufacturers can theoretically work together. The central hub, typically a Z-Wave controller, serves as the brain of the system, while individual components are capable of relaying signals to each other, extending the range of the entire network with each additional connected device.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ZigBee</h3>
<p>ZigBee, like Z-Wave, is an open protocol for wireless communication that connects various components of an automated home, such as security sensors and alarms, thermostats, locks, or cameras, to a central control unit and to each other. It is also utilized in industrial settings. Components supporting ZigBee communicate with each other using the 868 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency bands.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">IFTT</h3>
<p>“If This Then That,” which can be loosely translated as “If this happens, then that must happen,” refers to a free web platform that can connect unrelated applications and smart devices through a series of conditional actions and reactions called applets. It is also available as a mobile application for smartphones and tablets running on iOS and Android operating systems.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Smart house vs Smart home</h3>
<p>In connection with a smart home, we may also come across the term “intelligent house” or “smart house.” Although these expressions can be considered semantically related, they do not mean the same thing. A smart home is typically a marketing term for a system of interconnected devices that you can add to your existing household at any time to enhance or simplify your life. As you will learn in this guide, it primarily includes lights, security elements, kitchen appliances, and similar devices.</p>
<p>Alternatively, a smart home can refer to any domestic environment that utilizes smart elements. Therefore, this term can be used to describe a home based on systems like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and others, as well as a home within an intelligent house. While any household within an intelligent house can be called a smart home, not every house utilizing smart home devices can be labeled as an intelligent house.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="512" src="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-3-1024x512.png" alt="" class="wp-image-472" srcset="https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-3-1024x512.png 1024w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-3-300x150.png 300w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-3-768x384.png 768w, https://zonefortech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-3.png 1160w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>Smart homes are correctly understood as a type of building that is designed to be “intelligent” from the start. It is not just a set of smart devices forming a smart household, but rather a comprehensive system that utilizes specifically prepared electrical installations, as well as architectural and engineering solutions. These components work together to make the building highly automated, controllable, and energy-efficient.</p>
<p>An older building can be brought closer to a smart home in a similar way to how it can be insulated. However, just as simple insulation does not achieve the energy efficiency of new passive houses, an old building with new smart elements does not offer as many possibilities as an intelligently designed house from the ground up. Nevertheless, if you want to create something like a smart home on your own, Smart Home devices are the cheapest and most practical solution you can use. You can handle the installation yourself, and thanks to wireless communication between the devices, you can avoid major construction modifications.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to utilize scenarios and automations?</h3>
<p>You are in a situation where you have a great understanding of your smart home and want to start utilizing it to the fullest. Scenarios and automations will help you with that. A scenario allows you to trigger multiple actions at once. Typically, this involves scenarios like “Good Morning” or “Good Night,” where your voice assistant turns on/off lights, adjusts the temperature in the living room, and turns on/off the fan. The possibilities are limitless, and you can create numerous scenarios containing a variety of commands.</p>
<p>Automations, as the name suggests, are designed to operate your smart home without your direct involvement. In other words, automations enable the execution of multiple actions without your conscious input, but only when certain conditions are met. For example, opening a window may trigger the heating to turn off, or opening a door may activate the lights or various security responses. The goal is to have everything important at your fingertips, command, or completely automated.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>
<p>In conclusion, the introduction of the Matter communication standard is set to revolutionize the world of smart homes. With Matter, users will benefit from a unified platform that seamlessly connects and integrates smart home devices from different brands, eliminating compatibility issues and simplifying the setup process.
