HP Smart Tank 210 review: The company's cheapest ink tank printer is basic, but I can’t fault the quality at this price

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Specs Type: color inkjet tank printer Functions: Print only Connectivity: USB, Wi-Fi Data storage slots: None Max print speed: 22ppm (draft mode) Max paper size: Letter/A4 Print quality: 600x600dpi; 4800x1200dpi (enhanced) Memory: 64MB Apple AirPrint: yes Consumables included: 4 x bottled ink (6,000 black or color pages) Dimensions/Weight: 434 x 360 x 134 mm (WxDxH)/8.3lb/3.75kg Meet the smallest and cheapest member of HP’s Smart Tank family, lowering the entry point for cartridge-free printing in the home or home office. It’s a severely stripped-back print-only device with no auto-duplex mode, no ethernet port or paper drawer and a very basic display. but the print engine is the same as that of the more expensive HP Smart Tank 5100, so I’m hoping for decent prints with an unbeatable cost-per-page. If you can live without the extras, this could be the lowest...

The Guardians of the Universe in Lanterns explained: who are they, what do they want with John Stewart, and who plays Lianna in the new HBO Max show?

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Lanterns episode 3 has been released on HBO Max — and, after two weeks of teasing, it finally pulls back the veil on the mysterious extraterrestrials known as the Guardians of the Universe. Until now, the Guardians have been something of an enigma in the HBO TV Original. However, its latest chapter, titled 'OutKast', gives us a much clearer picture of these beings and why they want John Stewart to succeed Hal Jordan as Earth's Green Lantern . So, who are they? Where did they come from? Do they have powers? What's their connection to the Green Lantern Corps? And why are they obsessed with Stewart replacing Jordan? Let's take a closer look at the Guardians' comic book history and role in this HBO Max sci-fi crime drama. Who are the Guardians of the...

Teachers are getting more comfortable using AI – but it isn't helping lower their workload

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support 80% of teachers use AI, but only 35% work fewer hours and 55% work the same It's freeing up time that's then being spent on other work Technology alone might not be enough to tackle excessive workloads New YouGov data has revealed around four in five teachers now use artificial intelligence at work, marking around a 2x increase over the past year. However, despite a clear appetite for the productivity-boosting tech, teachers aren't actually saving any meaningful time – only one in three (35%) said they were actually working fewer hours as a result of adopting AI, with more than half (55%) noting they were working the same amount of time. But crucially, that's not to say that artificial intelligence isn't saving workers time where it's being applied. They're just spending the time that they've already saved taking on other workl...

How much can you really save with plug-in solar? I've crunched the numbers next to my EcoFlow Stream Ultra X — and it's not as sunny it sounds

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Plug-in solar is no longer a grey area. Kits under 800VA are now legal to buy and connect to a standard socket; no installer required. The government has been promising this since March. Now it is finally here. But legal does not mean simple. The market has split into three very different products, sold under one loose banner. Solar-only kits that plug straight into a socket — these are then ones that have just been made legal. Then there are battery-only power stations that store grid electricity for later, which still need professional installation. Lastly, there are solar-plus-battery systems that do both. Each behaves differently. Each saves a different amount. And, crucially, only the first one is actually covered by the new rules. I started my solar journey about a year ago, initially with batteries and now branching into solar panels. But with the adve...
