Why the time is right (again) to get an N95 respirator mask

We’ve rounded the corner into 2021, and the new year has brought with it some important new weapons against the coronavirus. The world is waiting to see how effective the vaccines will be against curbing the spread of COVID-19, but in the meantime, it’s important to remember that we can still count on the old protection measures.

Of course, masks are a big part of the strategy. You may not have heard much about N95 respirators lately, and there’s good reason for that. These medical-grade pieces of PPE are the gold standard for air filtration, but there has been a drastic supply shortage since near the beginning of the pandemic. Because of that, they were designated mainly for use by the front-line health care workers that were most at risk of infection.

But here’s another piece of good news for 2021: That shortage has subsided. Not only are N95 masks available to health workers again, but they’re also available to just about anyone — and they’re more affordable than you might think.

One of the best outlets offering these masks is SureWay Health, whose DTC3X masks are certified as N95 protective devices by NIOSH (the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). These are the real deal, made with five layers of electrostatic non-woven polypropylene fabric. Unlike regular cloth masks, they don’t just prevent droplets from exiting the mouth and aerosolizing. They filter out 95% of all airborne particles with a design that still allows the user to breathe easily.

That design is actually one of the best things about this mask. The slightly bulging profile means the fabric doesn’t actually need to hug the lips. Combine that with an adjustable aluminum alloy nosepiece, and you have a mask that is much less apt to fog up your glasses with every breath. The headbands are also adjustable and are made from elastic polyester, ensuring a tight fit on any type of face.

Even if we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic, these respirators would be considered invaluable gear for a range of professions. They’re just as good at filtering out dust and allergens as they are at dealing with virus-carrying particles, which makes them ideal for construction work, debris removal, medical disinfecting and more. And needless to say, they could be a huge health benefit to Californians who might be dealing with the aftermath of last year’s wildfires.

These DTC3X masks provide protection for up to eight hours and can even be reused if the interior isn’t compromised. Curious about how you can get yours? For the time being, SureWay is offering discounts of 35 to 53 percent depending on the quantity of purchase, and they’re even donating one N95 respirator to hospitals for every 20 they sell.

How to transfer everything from your old phone to a new Android phone

We recently did a general review of PhoneTrans by iMobie. This great software offers some great tools to backup, restore, and clone your data from one phone to another. This includes iOS and Android devices. Now, we’d like to circle back to this suite of software to do a deeper dive into the Android to Android transfer options with PhoneTrans.

New Android phone, No problem

One of the biggest fears of grabbing a new phone can be the dilemma of data transferring. While Android does a great job of contacts and some user data retention, it’s not a quick fix for things like videos and photos. PhoneTrans can offer users a better, more complete, option to move these cherished moments over to a new device.

There is one caveat to getting started. You must enable developer options and USB debugging for this process to work via USB. You can skip this and use a QR-code protocol to use wireless transfer if you want. However, I did find that the wired connection was predictably faster, but please remember USB debugging and dev options should be disabled immediately after you’re done for security purposes.

PhoneTrans supports up to 20,000 different devices currently available running Android. Chances are you own one of them and can take advantage.

Three methods of transfer

PhoneTrans offers a few different modes of data transfer. Phone Migrate, Phone Clone, and Phone Merge are all available. Let’s talk about each briefly.

Phone Migrate is a selective process that allows you total control of what’s brought over to the new device from the old. This includes personal data like photos, videos, and contacts. You can easily select all or none of these.

Phone Clone is a more nuclear option. This takes the entire data from your old phone and replaces everything on the new device with that information. There’s a glaring warning when you initiate this mode that it will wipe all data from the new phone. Again, PhoneTrans will move everything it possibly can like photos, video, apps, and contacts.

Phone Merge is a middle ground of the previous methods. This keeps the existing data on your new phone intact but moves all possible data points from your old handset. Much like merging folders and files on a Windows PC, PhoneTrans takes any new data not found to exist on the new phone copies it over from your old device.

How to get the job done?

This part is pretty simple. PhoneTrans does a great job of walking you through the process with pop-up menus and intuitive design in the desktop application. First, you’ll want to decide whether you want to move the data via cable or wirelessly. PhoneTrans gives you great visuals on how to do this with a QR setup or using a USB.

Once both devices are connected and recognized, then you will make a decision on which mode works best for your instance. Whether you choose to Migrate, Clone, or Merge, PhoneTrans presents you with each step and is very transparent on the available data that will be moved and the effect on the new device.

For me, this meant I wanted to Migrate my contacts, messages, call history, calendars, photos, and documents. You toggle all the options you want and then click Transfer Now. You can select everything or just one. Then, the magic of PhoneTrans goes to work.

A transfer will take some time and this will vary with each unique case, but I found it took around 10 minutes for my data to be synced over to my new phone. You get a nice blue progress bar to keep you updated on the progress and at the end, you get greeted with a splash screen of success.

Your PhoneTrans is now complete

That’s pretty much it. Afterward, all the data you wanted to be moved should be on your new device. Enjoy the seamless transition of these items that PhoneTrans offers. The company allows you a free download from its website https://www.imobie.com/phonetrans/ but it’s limited unless you opt for the full subscription.

The full option gives you all that we’ve discussed for data transfer: Migrate, Clone, and Merge. It also always you to backup and restore your phone for more assurance that you are never wanting for old data you may have lost. To purchase this upgrade you’ll want to head over to the PhoneTrans purchase page.

There are currently discounts on all the subscription models including $20-34 off the retail price. If you need further information you can also check out the article of how to transfer data from Android to Android.

The Google Pixel 5 is a terrific option for consumers seeking a high value proposition smartphone. It’s a great “bang for your buck” experience that runs the latest and greatest in Android and which features a stellar point and shoot auto camera experience. Toss in 5G connectivity and a suite of upper-end hardware, and you’re looking at one of our favorite devices.

For all the good that the phone is, none of it matters if the phone doesn’t work. To that end, you want to keep your beloved handset protected. If you need to pick up a new protective case for the Google Pixel 5, these are some of the best you’ll find.

Blu Element Armour 2X

Designed with drops in mind, this sleek case is constructed from two layers of shock-absorbing materials. Toss in a durable outer layer that’s scratch-proof and protective silver chrome buttons and it’s more stylish than others in its class. As low as $30.

Speck Presidio ExoTech

Constructed from a single layer of soft-touch material, this case is designed to meet military specifications for drops. Bolstered by a lifetime warranty, it also has Microban antimicrobial protection against bacteria. As low as $30.

Noreve Leather Case

Leave the wallet behind as this case provides spaces for credit cards or business cards. The protective leather wallet guards against scratches, dirt, dust, and even drops. It’s thin and light, yet professional looking and sturdy. Offered in a range of color options, you can customize yours with multiple options, including engraved logos. As low as $80.

BodyGuardz Carve

You picked out a pretty sharp looking phone, so why hide it under something boring? Let the color shine through and rest easy knowing you’ll be okay with drops or scuffs. The reinforced edges don’t add any extra thickness and we appreciate that. As low as $30.

Incipio Grip

Having a phone case that handles drops is nice, but we don’t really want to worry about that do we? This case has multidirectional grip along the edges so your handset doesn’t go tumbling out of hand. But, unless it’s falling more than 14 feet you shouldn’t stress. Oh, and there’s a lifetime guarantee behind it all. As low as $40.

Case-Mate Twinkle Ombre

While most phone cases completely obscure the color of your handset, this one has an ombre or gradient effect that shines and catches the eye. The reflect glitter bounces in the light and sparkles at every angle. As low as $40.

The flexible TPU case is strong enough to absorb shock and drops and the outer shell is designed to withstand scratches and scrapes. Thinner than it sounds, it allows for wireless charging and is backed by a lifetime warranty. As low as $30.

Olixar ArmourDillo

Sturdy and stylish, the tough case reminds us of tire treads. That is to say it’s textured and easy to grip and that it takes dirt, dust, and debris in stride. The combination of inner TPU case and an outer impact-resistant exoskeleton helps this case punch above its weight class and price. Plus we dig that built-in kickstand which allows for watching of video on lunch breaks. As low as $13.

The best of CES 2021

CES 2021 has come and gone yet again, leaving us with a whole array of new and exciting things to look forward to over the next year. And even though things were held in a virtual setting this year, we still had plenty to consider.

Between press releases, online presentations, chats, emails, and other means, we discovered and read about a lot. While we were not able to cover everything we wanted — we never can, really — there were a few things that rose to the top.

What follows are some of the most exciting, innovative, and interesting things announced during the CES 2021 period. We can’t wait to get our hands on these products and look forward to seeing them in the real world.

Acer Chromebook Spin 514

Why are we so excited about this one? For starters, it’s the first Acer Chromebook to employ the new AMD Ryzen 3000-C mobile processor. Hell, it’s one of the first devices to market with the new chip, which just so happened to be designed with Google’s help.

Chromebooks have evolved from the low-cost, no-frills browser-based products into something considerably more robust and glamorous. The internet and cloud capabilities are getting more optimized and powerful and Chromebooks are growing more serious with each generation.

In terms of features, the new 14-inch Chromebook offers up two USB Type-C ports, both of which support DisplayPort over USB-C and USB charging. Toss in two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a MicroSD card reader, and an HDMI and you’ve got damn near standard laptop connectivity.

We love the go-anywhere build quality that utilizes a reinforced metal chassis and military-grade durability because, let’s face it, we’re rough with our stuff.

V-Moda M-200 ANC

The V-Moda brand is one we’ve loved watching evolve over the years. Its headphones continually impress and deliver some of the best audio around. The premium brand is back for 2021 with a refreshed approach to its M-200 that incorporates active noise cancelling.

V-Moda M-200 ANC (Via V-Moda)

At one time it may have seemed unreasonable to consider dropping a few hundred bucks on headphones. But, spend some time with cans like these, and you’ll understand that “you get what you pay for” happens to be true once in a while.

Not only does V-Moda make some of the most stylish and visually distinct headphones around, but you can customize the shells with multiple colors and logos. The M-200 ANC provide up to 20 hours of wireless playback with ANC enabled; just 10 minutes on the charger adds up to 90 minutes of playback. That’s a ton of time spent listening for very little time on the charger.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2

We loved it last year when Samsung released its first-generation Galaxy Chromebook because it signaled the arrival of premium Chromebooks — that were not from Google. Our biggest hang-up was the price as it was nearly $1,000 for the device.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (via Samsung)

Samsung’s back with a new version of the Galaxy Chromebook that comes in around half the price. What’s the trade-off? Samsung swapped out the 4K OLED display in favor of a 1920 x 1080 pixel QLED display.

Offered in Fiesta Red and Mercury Gray colors, the thin (13.9mm) Chromebook packs at least 4GB RAM with a minimum of 64GB storage. There’s a lot to love about this one, including Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), 802.11 ax 2×2, Bluetooth 5.0, microSD, and a pair of USB-C ports.

Philips Hue Wall Switch Module

Philips Hue Wall Switch Module (via Philips Hue)

Smart lights are awesome, but they’re not always easy to work with. Sure, there’s voice and apps, and automation, but that stuff only works when their powered on. If you’ve ever had smart lights in place, you know how aggravating it is when someone comes by and physically turns them off, disabling all smart functions.

This new Wall Switch Module addresses these sort of issues by turning your standard light switch into a smart one that controls Philips Hue smart lights. For one, it keeps you from physically flicking the switch off and messing with routines or settings.

With a battery life of at least five years, the module can connect to a Hue Bridge and also set up for multiple light scenes.

Airpop Active+ Filter Mask

The first smart air wearable, this is a washable mask with replaceable filters and a sensor. Designed to block 99% of particulate matter, including dust, allergens, and microbial particles, it’s built using a medical-grade soft touch membrane with a 360 degree seal.

Airpop Active+ Smart Air Wearable (via Airpop)

A 3D dome structure not only makes for comfortable wearing, it helps keep the filter core off of your face. The app pulls in local air quality information so you can get a sense for the pollutants being blocked by the mask. What’s more, it can also track metrics like breaths per minute, breaths per pace, and other stats.

Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro

The Anker Soundcore brand has become synonymous with affordable quality and we’ve enjoyed watching it evolve and expand. Its newest model, the Liberty Air 2 Pro offer the familiar stick design of predecessors but come with a more polished and refined look — all without reaching deep into our wallet in the process.

Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro (via Soundcore/Anker)

Anker’s companion not only helps you get going with some tuning, but it offers up 22 sound profiles and adjustable EQ. Play around with it and you’ll surely find the right modes for your favorite music, regardless of genre.

We also really like the multiple modes for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and the two options transparency, one of which allows for better pickup of voice. Rounding things out are six microphones, numerous silicone tips, and an IPX4 rating against water or sweat. And thanks to the 26 hour playtime from the earbuds and case, we can go all week without touching a charger.

Roborock S7 Robot Vacuum

You may not realize it until you own one, but the robot vacuum space is a pretty cool one — and it changes more often than you’d imagine. Roborock, a player who has really started making some inroads, is back with its S7 for 2021.

Roborock S7 (via Roborock)

New for this year’s model is the ability to automatically switch from vacuum to mopping modes. That studio apartment you’ve got with hard floors and throw rugs? There’s nothing here that says you can’t clean the entire floor at once. The unit can intuit surfaces and raise itself up for rugs or vice versa.

The new sonic vibration technology means the S7 will really loosen dirt and debris instead of simply giving them an underpowered wipe. Speaking of power, the battery should yield up to three hours of continuous clean when running on quiet mode.

Roborock S7 has a companion app which gives users the ability to customize cleaning schedules and adjust preferences. It also features a real-time indication of the robot’s route and mapping history.

Honor Band 6

The last few years we’ve seen fitness and activity trackers slowly morph into smartwatches. As each generation tacks on a new feature or function, wearables become more helpful and interesting — but they typically don’t get cheaper. Moreover, they look more like traditional watches than ever before.

Honor Band 6 (via Honor/Huawei)

The Honor Band 6, priced just $35, keeps things minimal in design but deliver maximum features. Sporting a 1.47-inch display and a modern aesthetic, it provides 10-14 days of usage.

What does it track? Oh let’s see… let’s just say everything important. We’re talking blood oxygen, heart rate, stress, menstrual cycles, and a whole array of sports modes and activities. And thanks to its 5 ATM water-resistance, you can wear it in the pool, too.

Why You Should Buy Spotify Plays and Streams

Buying Spotify plays is the best way to get your Spotify page moving in the right direction. Music is popular only when many people listen to it, and so when you have more spotify plays and streams, you can show that you are popular and even perhaps get attention from people in the industry who matter.

If you don’t have a lot of Spotify plays and streams, drumming up enough interest in your music to get more people listening naturally can take months, or even years depending on how slow you go.

Buying real Spotify plays and streams is the best way to boost your social cred on the platform to help your music get more fans. Before you buy, make sure that the site is legit and they can offer you Spotify engagements of value.

Let’s look at the factors to consider when choosing a website.

Things to Look For When Buying Spotify Plays and Streams

The following areas can help you determine when a social media growth company is legit and when they’re not. There are some common patterns between both real growth companies and fakes, so it’s important to know.

You should always be skeptical when buying social media followers until you do your research and check out the company’s website for the information below.

Retention Rate is High

Retention rate is the amount of time that the followers, viewers, plays, likes, etc. will stay on your account before they fall off or disappear. In this industry, it’s common for companies to sell fakes, and then they get cleaned out by the social media platform itself.

Don’t buy Spotify plays that are going to fall off your account; make sure you buy high-quality plays that will stay on your account for a long time. Always check out the description on the website and stick with options that offer real Spotify plays.

Delivery Time Frame

The delivery time frame is another important factor in ensuring your account stays safe and doesn’t get flagged by Spotify (or whichever network you bought followers/engagements for). Social media networks know that people try to fill their accounts with fakes to appear more popular, and if you have a lot of Spotify plays or followers appear all at once, they might get suspicious.

Always look for safe delivery times so that you don’t put your account at risk and your purchase will come in a reasonable amount of time.

Customer Service

Customer service is an important part of any company, so you’ll want to check the website to see if the company offers reliable customer support if you ever run into any problems with an order.

You can check to see if there are specific hours for the support, if it’s done via email or live chat, and even test it out by contacting them to see how they get back to you. You want to ensure you can reach someone in case you have an issue with your order.

Service Guarantee

Many companies who offer a reputable service will offer a service guarantee for peace of mind and to protect their customers. It’s also not uncommon because there are no free trials, so people want to have the option in case they don’t like it.

Always look to see what type of service guarantee the company offers and also look for the refund policy to make sure you know what kind of protection you’ll have.

Payment and Site Security

You never want to make a purchase from any website that’s not secured and can compromise your sensitive information, so always look for security features before buying from any social media growth service.

The site should be secured and should have a lock in the address bar next to the website. If you don’t see this, or it says not secured, your best bet is to use another company. Companies that care about your Spotify and other social media accounts don’t put you at risk.

Not only that, you don’t want your payment info to get hacked or stolen, so look for secure sites only.

Password-Free

When you buy Spotify plays and streams, you don’t ever need to provide a password. Any reputable and trustworthy site knows this, and won’t require your password at all. The only thing you need to provide them with is your URL or Spotify name, depending on the service.

Since passwords aren’t required to deliver one-time social media packages, you should never give up that information to any growth service out there if they’re only sending over one order. If a site asks you for your password, you should skip it.
