Dust Collectors

Safety At The Workshop: Why Dust Collectors Are a Must

Every woodworking enthusiast wants to get the job done properly, but dust can get in the way and become a real problem! If your project involves sanding, you might find out later that it leaves a serious mess. Dust collectors like these not only remove dirt and dust, but also debris, gases, and chemicals from the air, providing your woodworking shop with a cleaner environment, and let’s face it – it can save a lot of time and effort cleaning the place after the job’s done.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Not only is it a fairly straightforward process, but there are a ton of benefits to having a dust collector in your shop. Here are the most important ones:

A Cleaner Workshop

Sure, it’s an obvious reason, but probably also the most important one. The dust collector does the absolute work by pulling away dust and debris from your woodworking tools and workspace, while they are operating, which can save you a tremendous amount of time cleaning afterward. All you have to do is flip one extra switch, and you’re ready to go!

Better Air Quality

Keep in mind that this tool is absolutely no substitute for an air purification system! So, don’t forget to put on the goggles or a mask when working with dangerous substances.

However, it’s going to remove a lot more than if you just run the tools without it. Most of the shops are inside garages, basements or small areas that don’t have that much ventilation. By using a dust collector, it will surely remove debris and other dangerous invisible particles in the air as you are using your tools and creating your projects. Trust me, that’s a major improvement in the environment around you.

It Increases Productivity

When dirt, dust, and debris collect on equipment, it can make its way inside, interfering with the mechanics and wirings of the tools, and compromising machines that, after, will require extra attention, effort, and repairment – dollars, dollars, dollars… A dust collector will decrease this risk, allowing your machinery to work at optimal performance, during larger amounts of time, with a last-longing life! Also, by providing a cleaner and safer environment, you’ll always feel in a right and comfortable mood to fully dedicate yourself to the job and to the task at hand.

A More Organized Shop Layout

Sometimes you may not be the best at organizing your shop really well. By having a cleaner space, you’ll feel absolutely free to work and organize your tools in the best way possible, for the next project ahead. When your layout makes more sense, you work way better and more efficiently, mainly because you won’t waste 30 minutes finding the right screwdriver!

Higher Quality Projects

With dust or other substances in the air, your projects can collect them on their surface throughout the manufacturing process. This can have a serious impact on the quality of the finished product, resulting in scratches, rough edges, or badly painted surfaces. So, by reducing the dust, smoke and fumes in the air, you’re guaranteed a better result, which, when thinking about it, it’s the most important focus of a woodworker.

Haul Away Dust and Other Particles!

Most of the models on the market come with a bag on one end that fills up with all of your sawdust. This is super convenient in the process of hauling away dust or debris. Vacuum or swiping might be the traditional ideas to do that, but we all know it will always leave stuff in the air, making a huge puff cloud, as well as being more tiring and time-consuming. By collecting the dust in a sealed bag all you need to do is unhook the bag of your dust collector, haul it to the garbage, and dump it – simple and effective!

Help the Environment

If you produce a lot of sawdust, you probably already thought of what you could do with it instead of throwing it out. A little research will show you the most incredible and useful ideas. For example, most people use sawdust to make their own floor sweeping compound, as it is a pretty easy recipe. Also, by compressing the sawdust with the right materials and a little bit of wax, you can make a good fire starter – now here’s a nice tip for the next camping trip!

Final Thoughts

Now you know why a Dust Collector is truly a must-have in your personal woodworking shop. I assure you that it will give a whole new mood to the job! Once you press that “buy product” button and get it home, you’re not gonna be able to work without it.

OnePlus Z

OnePlus to return in the mid-range world with this new smartphone

On July 2, the company will hold an event for its TVs, and this is where the announcement is expected to take place

Just as big names fall, so do young people. OnePlus is definitely one of the most inspiring stories in the smartphone world and the next news shows that the trend continues to be on the rise. A mid-budget smartphone will be introduced under the name OnePlus Z in the Indian market, at least according to Android Police.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Technical details speak for a 6.55-inch 90Hz OLED display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of memory. 48MP and 16MP ultra-wide camera as well as Snapdragon 765.

The price of 24,990 rupees ($330) will position it much cheaper than the standard OnePlus 8 which with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory sells for $699. And on the other hand, OnePlus’ latest smartphones have gone beyond the initial ambition, reflected in higher prices.

On July 2, the company will hold an event for its TVs, and this is where the announcement of the OnePlus Z is believed to be made. This special moment which brings us back to the feeling of OnePlus 1 delights us immensely as it shows once again the presence of a champion in the market.

OnePlus 8 Pro Review

OnePlus 8 Pro: The phone that Samsung feared the most

OnePlus’ latest flagship lineup is an alarm for Samsung thanks to its sleek design, 120Hz display, 5G, better cameras, and even wireless charging

Starting at €799, the OnePlus 8 Pro is more expensive than the €649 OnePlus 7 Pro and the €699 7T Pro. With the latest smartphone, OnePlus distanced itself from the motto of the “flagship killer” company by competing more directly with Samsung and Apple products without the massive price advantage.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

8 Pro simplifies the design of last year’s models. The “pop-up” selfie camera has been removed, replaced by a traditional “hole-punch” camera. The 6.78-inch QHD+ elite screen is the star of the show and covers almost the entire front of the device.

This year the refresh rate has been increased from 90Hz to 120Hz while staying in line with the Galaxy S20. The difference between 60Hz and 120Hz screens is something that is easily noticed when browsing lists, content, and other animations that are smoother at 120Hz.

The screen can be used on either FHD+ or QHD+ at 120Hz, unlike Samsung where 120Hz is limited to FHD+ only.

The rear of the glass is not only an aesthetic element but paves the way for wireless charging technology. The smartphone weighs 199 grams and is 74.4mm wide and 7g lighter than the previous model. It is significantly more comfortable to hold in the hands compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra and 2.7mm longer than the 7T Pro. The OnePlus 8T Pro is the first OnePlus smartphone with IP68 certification of water resistance.

Specifications 

  • Screen: 6.78-inch 120Hz QHD AMOLED (513ppi)
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
  • RAM: 8 or 12GB RAM
  • Memory: 128 or 256GB UFS 3.0
  • Operating System: Oxygen OS 10.5 based on Android 10
  • Camera: Rear 48-megapixel main, 48-megapixel and super wide, 8-megapixel telephoto, 5-megapixel color filter; 16-megapixel front
  • Connectivity: 5G, two SIM cards, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS Water resistance: IP68
  • Dimensions: 165.3 x 74.4 x 8.5 mm
  • Weight: 199 grams

Speed and battery lifespan

The 8 Pro has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor with 8 or 12GB of RAM as the OnePlus 8. This means unquestionable performance with 5G technology. The 8 Pro also has the battery life of the OnePlus 8 with 32 hours between charging cycles. Three hours used in 4G, in Wi-Fi with FHD+ 120Hz screen, 50 minutes video, 7 hours Spotify with Bluetooth headset, and about 20 photos. This is what you can do in a day with the OnePlus 8 Pro battery.

The 5G’s performance was similar to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, while when two SIM cards are used, the smartphone is limited to only 4G. The Warp Charge 30T is so fast that it charges the 50% battery in 28 minutes and the full charge in 77 minutes. The novelty for this year is the optimized charge which saves the battery by delaying the charge to 100% at night till the moment you pick up the smartphone in your hands.

New is also wireless charging, including the Qi standard and Warp Charge 30 Wireless technology. 9 Pro can also charge other devices with Qi wireless technology. The OnePlus 8 battery withstands 800 charge cycles up to 80% capacity.

Oxygen OS 10.5

OnePlus 8 Pro comes with Android 10.5 Oxygen OS 10.5 operating system based on Android 10. This operating system is among the best if not the best based on Android with balanced functionality, aesthetics, and speed like no other.

OnePlus offers a 3-year update since debut, including two years of Android version updates and another year of security updates. Samsung offers 4 years of support for the Galaxy S series and Apple 5 years for the iPhone. So OnePlus has work to do in this regard.

The Camera

The OnePlus 8 Pro has four rear cameras where it combines: a 48-megapixel main camera with Sony’s new sensor, an ultra-wide 48-megapixel camera with last year’s Sony sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, and a camera 5-megapixel colors filters.

The 48-megapixel main camera is excellent producing some of the best photos, details and exposure from a smartphone. Auto-HDR mode accurately manages high-contrast scenes, while the light performance at least differentiates it from the 7T Pro and 8 without the need for “Night Scape” mode at all. Normally the smartphone captures 12-megapixel photos combining four pixels in a single.

The 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor is one of the best modules also in this camera segment producing quality images in good light. Problems with this sensor start in low light environments where it often produces image noise. Night Scape helps you in such scenes.

The 8-megapixel telephoto camera is good too but suffers in low light environments. There is a hybrid zoom (optical and digital) 3x and a digital magnification only 30x. In bright light, you can capture detailed objects even with 24x magnification.

Finally, the 5-megapixel photochrom filter is more advertising than usable. There are endless software that do the best job combined with the main camera.

Observations

  • The side slider easily passes between Silent, Vibrate and Ring modes
  • Stereo speakers are excellent
  • The smartphone comes with a plastic screen protector from the box
  • Excellent call quality
  • OnePlus sandstone cases are better if you want your smartphone not to slip

The Price

The OnePlus 8 Pro starts at 799 euros for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory and goes to 899 euros for 12GB of RAM and 256GB of memory.

OnePlus 8 starts at 599 euros, OnePlus 7T Pro at 699 euros, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra at 1,199 euros and Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max at 1,149 euros.

The Verdict

8 Pro shows that OnePlus is no longer the number 2 hidden under the shadow of the big ones. Rather it brings technology capable of rivaling industry leaders.

Fantastic display, stylish design, wireless charging, and water resistance. The software is best on Android, battery life is high and the experience with Android interface beats clearly Samsung and Google.

The Chinese firm has managed to address the weak point, the camera, and maintain the strong point of the software, the speed and longevity of the battery. It is no longer the cheapest smartphone, but the cheapest and best option among the best.

Pros

  • Fantastic screen
  • Battery life
  • Quality camera
  • Slider of notifications
  • 5G
  • Fast fingerprint scanner
  • High performance
  • Fast wireless and wired charging
  • Excellent software
  • Water-resistant
  • Two SIM cards

Cons

  • No 3.5mm headphone port
  • Only three years of software updates
  • 5G disabled when two SIM cards are used
  • Expensive

Currents

Currents, Google+’s replacement, launches in July

Google Currents will finally be released on July 6, as a social network just for work relationships

On April 2, 2019, Google chose to get rid of the social media train by shutting down Google+. The reason certainly remains the low interest on the part of the community. Let’s face it, during the golden age of Facebook, having Google+ was the weirdest part of the group. But a G Suite version for enterprise communications continues to exist and apparently interest in this feature is active.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Existing Google+ users will be transferred to “an updated look and feel” and will benefit from “additional options” including content moderation and administrative privileges.

The beta version of the few months has served as a place to “engage with employees. To have fruitful discussions. We stay current together.”

The interface and experience are mostly unchanged, the material on the main screen is organized according to the connection or chronology, while posts from superiors can take precedence. Texts, links, images, and other materials from Drive can be easily shared.

Yes, if the WhatsApp group is not enough, you will have a completely dedicated social network.

An iPhone is again the most famous smartphone in the world

The models are changing but Apple remains at the top

It seems that Apple has long secured the title of “most popular smartphone in the world.” The title has so far belonged to the iPhone XR that was released in 2018 and the position will now be occupied by the iPhone 11.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

According to Omdia, Apple sold 19.5 million iPhone 11s in the first quarter of 2020 despite the pandemic, surpassing 13.6 million iPhone XRs in the first quarter of 2019. The numbers also show the big difference between the iPhone 11 and the competitor, with the second Samsung Galaxy A51 selling only 6.8 million units.

Despite the devastating effects of coronavirus on consumer demand, Apple’s iPhone 11 in the first quarter of 2020 surpassed the iPhone XR of the first quarter of 2019 by 6 million units. This represents a huge improvement in the company’s performance since the first quarter of last year when the iPhone XS and XS Max weren’t even in the top 10. The iPhone XR was the only new model to appear in the top 10 at the time. This year, however, all three new models made their appearance in the top 10.

The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max appear in 8th and 6th place, respectively, while the top ten are completed with Samsung and Xiaomi phones.

SSL Guide

Do you know how SSL certificates work? Here is your SSL guide

Internet is great – you can browse all kinds of websites, engage with people around the globe on social media, shop online, stay entertained, and do a ton of other fun and useful things which would not have been possible had the WWW (World Wide Web) not been around.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

However, is it safe to provide your personal and financial information online? There is no way you can get into a serious internet transaction, social or financial, without providing this information. But what if someone were to intercept the communication between your browser and the webserver to steal the information being exchanged (this is called MITM, or a man in the middle attack)? Now, that can be scary. Imagine someone getting access to your details and you becoming a victim of identity theft or someone emptying your bank account because they got hold of the information from a financial transaction you conducted online.

As a website owner, you must take care of these user concerns to sustain and grow your online business.

Is there a way to prevent data theft during data transactions? Of course, the SSL is the solution.

What is SSL?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) turns your plain HTTP text (where the data is transmitted in plain text) into HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure). HTTPS works by encrypting the data before it is put on the communication channel, and the other side decrypts it. The entire encryption process works in a manner where only the endpoints know how to encrypt and decrypt the exchanged data. So, even if a hacker launched a MITM attack on you, they will not be able to succeed in their malicious intent as they will not be able to make sense of the encrypted material.

How does SSL work?

SSL works by encryption, which can either be asymmetric or symmetric. Let us look at what these encryption mechanisms mean.

Asymmetric encryption

Asymmetric encryption
Asymmetric encryption (image credit: cheapsslsecurity.com)

Also called Asymmetric cryptography, or public-key cryptography, this mechanism uses a mathematically generated pair of keys for encryption and decryption. The public key is shared with the party you want to communicate with, while you keep the private key as a well-protected secret that no one knows except you.

During data communication, the information is encoded using the private key and can only be decrypted by using the associated public key.

Symmetric encryption

Symmetric encryption
Symmetric encryption (image credit: miro.medium.com)

In Symmetric cryptography, there is no need for a private/public key pair – the same key is used at both ends for encryption and decryption.

There are two parts to SSL communication:

  • Initial SSL handshake
  • Actual SSL data transfer

SSL uses Asymmetric (Example algorithms: DSA, ElGamal, RSA, PKCS, and Elliptic curve techniques) cryptography in the initial handshake and Symmetric (Using algorithms such as AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256) encryption for the actual data transfer between the communication parties.

Let us now get deeper into the actual SSL communication process.

Initial SSL handshake

SSL communication always begins with an initial SSL handshake. This asymmetric communication where the browser verifies the authenticity of the webserver gets hold of the server’s public key and establishes the HTTPS connection for the actual data transfer.

SSL handshake
SSL handshake (image credit: blog.doteasy.com)

Here are the steps in of an SSL handshake:

  • The client begins by sending a “client hello” to the server. This message includes information about the client, such as encryption settings, SSL version, session-specific data, etc. needed by the server to start communicating with the client over SSL.
  • Once the server receives the “client hello,” it responds with a “server hello” message. This message includes server information such as encryption settings, SSL version, session-specific data, and its SSL certificate (which includes its public key), etc. that is needed by the client to begin using SSL to communicate with the server
  • Before initiating any further communication, the client verifies the SSL certificate presented by the server with the CA (Certificate Authority). If the server authentication fails, the client shows a warning to the user and refuses the SSL connection.
  • If the server is authenticated, the client encrypts (using the server’s public key) a session key it creates and sends it back to the server.
  • On receiving the session key, the server uses its private key to decrypt the session key and sends back an encrypted (using the session key) acknowledgment to the client.

So, once the initial SSL handshake is complete, both the parties end up with a session key to be used for encryption and decryption of the exchanged data. The private and public SSL keys are not used any further in the communication.

Actual SSL data transfer

SSL data transfer

The actual data transfer between the client and the server uses symmetric cryptography with the shared session key used at both ends for encryption and decryption. The reason to use symmetric cryptography in the actual SSL data transfer is that symmetric encryption/decryption is less CPU intensive compared to Asymmetric cryptography.

Role of SSL certificates

Now that you understand how SSL works let us turn our attention to the role of SSL certificates. SSL certificates, also called digital certificates, are critical in establishing the secure HTTPS communication between the web server and client browser and If You want an ssl certificate to secure your website then You can get your certificate from ClickSSL, a reliable SSL provider that stocks a dynamic range of SSL certificates from some of the world’s best certificate authorities (CAs) at surprisingly low prices.

SSL certificate has been issued by a trusted CA (Certificate Authority). The SSL certificate carries the public key and other information about the certificate owner. During the SSL handshake process, the server sends its public key to the client by sharing its SSL certificate, which the client uses to authenticate the webserver with the CA.

The user can see the details of the SSL certificate on their browser too (every browser has a different way of presenting it, but the information is the same – verified and included in the SSL certificate by the CA)

SSl Role
(image credit: mktg.namecheap.com)

There are many kinds of SSL certificates for you to pick from. The choice depends on the level of validation (yes, the CA will validate the identity of the entity requesting the SSL certificate using various levels of verification) you are prepared for and the number of domains/subdomains you want to protect.

 

Advantages of having an SSL certificate

Sounds good, right? Wait till you hear more.
