Just Finished "Avatar The Legend of Korra: Book 1"


     Wow! Just finished watching book 1 can't wait for book 2. I wonder what would be the next adventure is. It's a great idea having a conflict between benders and non-benders. 


     Compared to the previous "Avatar The Legend of Aang", the world is greatly changed. New technologies exists in its more modern setting. And that makes the story more exciting. Non-benders fight benders with technology (just an idea! benders can use technology too, wonder why they're not using it for their advantage) .


     Thus the battle begin for said equality against benders. (Not having the ability to bend in this avatar world sucks, I think I understand the crave for equality). That makes the story more interesting. The enemy can take bending away permanently. (Picture in the right side is the leader of non - benders).

     I don't want to spoil you anymore. Here are just my thoughts. But I would recommend you to watch this. (Although it would make much more sense if you watched the first avatar series.)

Just Bought my First Pen Tablet

Yesterday, I bought my first tablet.. I really wanted the Wacom tablet but this is my first time to try drawing on a tablet and  lack of budget. I chose the Genius Easy Pen i405x, just for testing if digital art is suited for me. I will make a review for this device maybe 2 to 3 weeks from now. I need to test this first!

Smart Bro Power Plugit Review

Just bought a Smart Bro Power Plugit last week and here's my review about this device

SmartBro Power Plugit Package

Physical Build

-This device is black in color as seen in the pictures 
-Its size is like a regular lighter 
-It has an led indicator (blinking if disconnected and steady light blue if connected)
-It has a removable cover which can be removed by pushing upward when the cap is removed
Removing the cover
- It has a sim card slot and a micro sd slot

Rating: 8/10 ( Simple design which is good, no unnecessary features )

Installation

Its installation is very simple, just plug the device to your laptop or computer and let it do the work. There will be some prompt messages that will appear, just click Yes or OK.

Rating: 9/10 ( Very easy to install )

Dashboard

Here is the preview of the dashboard
This device has the new version of dashboard compared to older versions of other broadbands which are larger. It has the usual feature of almost every broadband, like call and text. New thing about this dashboard is its new feature that will display your balance and connection time. Unfortunately, as you can see, for the past week that I've been using this device, the new features are just displaying errors. What is the point of putting these features if it doesn't work properly (Right?). Another bad thing about this device is you can't configure the connection setting directly unlike the general versions of earlier dashboards. (Sigh..)

Rating: 5/10 ( I prefer the older one, but dashboard are not that much of an issue. )

Connection Speed

The most important part! (Yay!) According to SMART, this device has a maximum connection speed of 7.2 Mbps but based on my experience the maximum speed this device achieved is almost 2.7 Mbps. Below is my speedtest (my speedtest on this one is slow cause I tested it on peak hours, I will try to provide more tests later):
Speed test taken 7:47 pm
Here's my summary about the connection, 7am to 3pm (1 to 2 Mbps), 4pm to 11pm (less than 1Mbps) 12am to 6am ( 2 to almost 3Mbps).

Internet Usage:
1. Browsing - if you just want to browse facebook, google or 9gag then this device is more than enough.
2. Gaming - i tried playing on Garena, no lag at all. Here at our apartment, the signal is superb.
3. Streaming - not that good, but slow on peak hours (4pm to 11pm)
4. Downloading - my maximum download rate is 300+kbps except on peak hours again 40 kbps.

Rating: 8/10 ( I am satisfied with the internet connection provided by this device )

This is just based on my experience on this device. Leave a comment and share your thoughts. Thank you!

5. Paste the shortcut here
The system will prompt you, just press Continue

Done, you now have your own shortcut command! :)
