Month: November 2018

23rd of November is almost here. Are you ready to shop?

These 5 tips will help you maximize your shopping experience, according to TechRadar.

1. Be Prepared

It’s well worth having an idea of what you’re looking to buy ahead of Black Friday – items can sell out rapidly, so you don’t want to be browsing through hundreds of different products on the day.

2. Be Aware of Scams

Always aim to buy from trusted retailers, and pay securely using a debit/credit card or PayPal, so you can get your money back should anything go wrong or if you have to return something.

3. Avoid Unnecessary Spending

Stay focused on the things that you really need. Don’t end up buying a bunch of things you will never use.

4. Don’t be Lured in by ”’Flashy Deals”

Occasionally retailers will artificially increase the prices of their products right before applying Black Friday discounts, making deals look better than they really are.

5. Consider waiting for Cyber Monday

Although there isn’t a huge difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are some instances where it might be better to wait for November 26 before making your purchases. Most retailers offer a continuation of their Black Friday deals into Cyber Monday, occasionally  dropping prices even further.

Below are 5 common mistakes you probably make without realizing that are negatively affecting your phone’s lifespan.

Keeping it plugged in when it’s fully charged: Keeping your phone plugged in after reaching 100%, can increase the temperature of the battery which potentially damage your phone’s ability to carry a charge.

Letting your battery fully deplete: For optimal long-term results, you should keep your phone charged between 40 and 80 percent at all times.

Closing all your apps at once: Closing all your apps at once and later reopening them actually drains more of your battery than if you were to simply leave them running simultaneously.

Not installing software updates: This can make your phone more vulnerable to malware and hacking, potentially putting you at risk for identity theft.

Using your phone in the rain: Εven a small amount of water in a phone, when connected to a power source, can kill a phone’s circuit board, rendering it useless.
