I have been holding off on updating our devices to the new iOS8 as I hear that one of the drawbacks to the “upgrade” is that your battery life is greatly diminished. I’ve learned that when apps that use location services are running it drains the battery. Saw a post on Facebook recently that recommended that you change your Facebook settings to “auto-play, only when connected to Wi-Fi” otherwise videos stream as you are scrolling through your newsfeed and drains your data. So much to think about when it comes to devices!!
If your phone/iPad, printer cable or other chargers are falling down behind your desk or getting tangled, let me introduce you to CableDrops. These nifty little adhesive dots adhere to the top or side of your desk, nightside table or just about anywhere and hold the cable in it’s place. When you need to charge your device or plug in the printer cable you simple slide the cord, while still attached to the cable drop, and connect and when you’re done the cable stays put, it doesn’t fall to the ground! The mini CableDrops are great for newer Apple devices with the lightening cable.
These handy cable ties, can help manage cords under your desk especially if the length of the cord(s) are longer than you need. Simply wind up the extra length and attach one of these velcro cables around it to keep it neat.
