My first foray into TikTok was more than a year ago and while it was entertaining, I easily got bored. Watching dances and comedy all day wasn’t really up my ally. But since then, TikTok has evolved into more than just dancing and comedy. We now see really great content in different topics. It's still not as diverse as YouTube but for 1 minute videos, there are many creators who have leveled up their creativity. Even the techy bunch have gotten into TikTok. I have found out that teaching tech tips can also be entertaining. This is actually brilliant because the technologically challenged now have simple 1 minute tech related explanations. This is especially relevant now since we have been forced to use technology in almost every area of our day to day lives. While swiping up for videos in TikTok I came across 5 Techy Pinoys who you should definitely follow in TikTok. Some of them have YouTube channels, so you might also want to head over there and subscribe. The channels I mention … [Read more...] about Follow These 5 Pinoys in TikTok for Great Tech Tips

Asus Strix ROG GL553VD SSD Upgrade/Replacement
Hard disk drives have come a long way and while solid state drives have become main stream, we can still find them installed in many cheap laptops or as a secondary drive. The latter is actually the case with the Asus Strix ROG GL553vd where it had a 128 GB of M.2 Sata and a 1 TB hard disk drive (HDD). Applications open quite fast with the stock SSD but when workloads increase where access to the hard drive is necessary, we find a usage of almost 100% which becomes a bottleneck in an already slow system. To solve this, the hard disks and the optical drives were replaced by two Samsung 870 Evo SSDs. To install the SSD in the optical drive, a hard disk caddy was used. (Purchase the HDD Caddy here). To know more about the process please watch the video below: Overall, the loading resources into Premier Pro has seen a bit more improvement as drives are barely pushing more than 5% usage. This is great news especially when it becomes almost frustrating enough when you had … [Read more...] about Asus Strix ROG GL553VD SSD Upgrade/Replacement

As of this time, the Y9s is actually at Php 12, 960 or around $250 and the Y9 Prime 2019, which was priced at 12999 at its release is already around Php. 10, 790 or round $ 210 based on the prices found in Lazada. There is one thing in common with both of this devices is that they use the same Kirin 710F processor . First off unboxing the Y9 Prime 2019, you get the handset itself with a screen protector already attached. Underneath that, you also have a transparent jelly/ rubber case, some paperwork, the USB type C cord, the power adapter, and a 3.5 mm headset. Spec wise the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 rocks the following: Screen: 6.59 inch Full HD LTPS IPC LCD CPU: Kirin 710F (12mm) RAM: 4 GB Storage: 64 GB or 128 GB plus expandable memory.
