more blog reviews :D

Today, I am going to rate my cousin’s blog again. Let’s start with Thucquyen’s blog, her blogs are way too short so it is like a draft. I do not count this as a blog because it is so short. She also doesn’t really use grammar like she says da instead of the. But other than that, she writes good but sometimes her blogs are like this: HeLLo gUyS I am obsessed with RoBlOx aNd mY daY iS GoOd sO YeAh Bye. This is what I call a pointless blog because it doesn’t really have a point. She also doesn’t write often which isn’t good because she needs to practice her writing skills and she needs to work on her grammar. So now I am lowering her score to 7/10. Now let’s talk about Nam. His blogs are really long and have proper grammar. His blog has at least a point or more. He used to write often but doesn’t really write often anymore but he has good writing skills so I will give him a 9.9/10. Now let’s go on to Thuclam. Thuclam has proper grammar, has a point in her blogs, and is also long. But she doesn’t write much so I will give her an 8.5/10. And now for myself, I am writing constantly and have good grammar. I also have a medium-sized blog. So I will get a 9.5/10. Bien will not count because he is still learning to blog so his default score: 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10. THE END. WINNER GOES TO BIEN OBVIOUSLY.

How Caller ID Works

Have you ever herd your phone ringing, coming over, and picking it up to  see who’s name displays on the phone? True, this happens because you added them as your contacts, but now with Caller ID, you know who they are even if they aren’t registered as your contacts. Caller ID can be customized in many ways, one setting allows people to see the callers name and phone number, and another setting makes callers anonymous, so no one knows who they are. This happened to me when my mom called my business phone line, but instead of the phone displaying the phone number, like what it is supposed to do, it displayed L1: Anonymous. L1 is  Line 1, and Anonymous means that the phone number or name was hidden. Since I thought this caller was a stranger, I decided to use my professional greeting. “Hello, this is Khoi with KhoiUSA LLC, how can I help you today?” And then my mom started laughing, I was confused, I thought this was a stranger! So for whatever reason, my mom changed it to Caller ID Private and I do not know how she did that. My Caller ID is set to Khoi Nguyen KhoiUSA, so they know who I am. Anyway, I hope this educated you and BYE!

I am getting another phone line

So today I am going to get another phone line. My current phone can handle 2 lines and now I can do conferencing and handle up to 4 calls! This can be useful when I am handling 2 calls from my family, and 2 calls from my friends or employees. A multiline phone system allows multiple people to be on the phone at the same time. The lines can be internal or external. External lines allow you to communicate with people outside of the business, such as customers, while internal lines allow communication with your employees and colleagues. Multiline phone systems differ from traditional phone systems because they enable multiple parties to be on the phone at one time – traditional phones, on the other hand, are designed to only send audio data between two parties at once. I am planning on using the 2nd line as the home phone line, instead of the business phone line, but after deciding for 0.2 seconds, I decided to use it as my secondary phone line….

…..or support line.

Bye!

ATT First Phone System! [AMPS – Advanced Mobile Phone Service]

Today, I will talk about ATT’s first mobile phone system. The phones had to be installed in cars, and that service is restricted. In New York city, only 12 calls can be made at once. And only 10 mobile phone towers were operational. For more than a year, a million customers taken part of the AMPS trial, allowing them to call people remotely. The first generation (1G) of cellular mobile communication systems, called Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) in North America, used analog FM in 30 kHz channels and accommodated multiple users through frequency division multiple access in the 800–900 MHz band allocated by the 1976 World Allocation Radio Conference. Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) is a standard system for analog signal cellular telephone service in the United States and is also used in other countries. It is based on the initial electromagnetic radiation spectrum allocation for cellular service by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1970. Also, the new phones actually were bulky, and were 4000 dollars! But at least it had no restrictions. Also, the first official call was made from Soldier field to Germany! Nice! Anything I put bold is very important, so you can do your research. Anyway, BYE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED.

Galaxy Watch 3!

I just got a new Galaxy Watch 3! And it is SOO cool! The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 went on sale on August 6, 2020. Those interested in picking the new smartwatch have a few sizes and variations to choose from. The bezel holds up a second time around, but feels even better because Samsung slimmed down the Galaxy Watch 3. It’s 8% smaller, 14% thinner and 15% lighter than the first Galaxy Watch. We’re talking millimeters here, but when it comes to something you wear on your wrist, the difference is noticeable. Isn’t statistics SO COOL? Samsung’s Tizen software still trails behind Apple’s watchOS, but is a significant improvement from Google’s fickle Wear OS. Not only are the Galaxy Watch 3’s various menus highly customizable and packed with useful apps, but launching and switching between them feels sharp, too. Yes, apple, and google have watches, but we are talking GALAXY here! The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 can track 40 total activities, and seven can be tracked automatically, meaning you won’t always have to select what kind of exercise you’re doing beforehand. I needed this when my sprightly 85-pound black lab didn’t want to stop for me to launch a walk tracking on our routine treks around our town. I have tried this A LOT when biking around Portosol. anyway, bye bye bye

Uh Oh, TQ has DISCORD? This is a world crisis.

Thucquyen just got discord. This is very bad, bad. She also made a server with NO RULES, that means someone can do something bad in it. And something bad already happened, because messages fail to load in the server. She also is very mean online. Here is why you should not be mean online. You shouldn’t bully people because you don’t know how it feels and some people do!!! People commit suicide and cut them selfs and why!? Because they can’t handle the pain or name callings or being picked on some victims can step up to the bullies and some can’t. The bullies should feel bad they should hate themselves for what they do! Some bullies stop and some don’t and because there are gossip,cyber bully,harassment ,mean word,rumors and other reason s why they they bully . The reason people bully is because they like seeing people suffer.One of the primary reasons children participate in bullying behavior is because they don’t know how to handle differences between people. I am not used to this keyboard, so thats why there is grammar error.

Should I get a new Phone Line?

Should I get a new phone line for conferencing? You might be thinking, Khoi, my phone only has 1 line and I can conference. True, but VoIP and Landline are different. Imagine you are the landline, and a call comes in. What do you do? You answer it, and then the human is chatting away with the other person calling. Now, lets say they want to make a conference, or add a new person to the call. You might think, just dial the person’s phone number on the keypad! This wont work, first of all, the phone won’t be in “Calling mode”. Second of all, that landline can only support 1 phone line, even though it says “conferencing enabled.” Suppose that your phone is in calling mode, and you are also talking with someone on the SAME PHONE. So you send another call and then, ERROR. A message appears on your screen, which states LINE BUSY or LINE  IN USE. What does this mean? It means the the line is currently handling an active call, and you cannot make another call. The solution is usually to, put the person on hold, (which you cant do on a landline phone since it will still say LINE BUSY/LINE IN USE), or hang up and call the other number. Now, this is where the second line comes in, you plug the second line cord into the phone and call your first conference member. Then, you switch to the other line, which is not in use. You call the person and they pick up, after that, you press the CONF. (conference) button and it will say, LINE 1 & 2 CONFERENCE MODE. And before you know it, the 3 of you are chatting away. Notice how there are no LINE IN USE or LINE BUSY messages? That is because you don’t have to use the same line. Now, this is all MY understanding, you probably will have to get a new phone number or you will have the same number, I do not know, but that is an overview. Have a nice day!

My New Business Phone!

Guess what guys, I got a new business phone! And its is GREAT! Here is my REVIEW and thoughts! I needed a new land line phone to have a business line for KhoiUSA. I chose this model because I trust the “AT&T” brand. Because I only have ONE land line, the “LINE 2” button is always illuminated. No big deal, really. All functions are “Menu Driven” and not too difficult to access/use. HOWEVER, make sure you have the User Manual handy to help with some functions. The volume control for speaker and handset is easy to use, especially if you’re are/getting “hard of hearing”. The phone keys are welcomely LARGE. This unit has the capability of using a “Lantronics”, or similar, plug-in headset if you have one AND you can program the phone to “default” to using the headset if desired (again, the User Manual will tell you how to do it). Overall, it’s a great phone and I DO RECOMMEND IT.

Why you should get a website (mostly for business)

So today, I will be telling you why you should get a website, mostly for businesses. Taking upon the previous point, your tech-savvy customers expect you to have a website to find more information about your business. As for you, your website can help you generate business, and make yourself to the KHOIUSA company known (it wont even happen)! Think of it this way, your website delivers your marketing message 24 hours, 365 days in a year! Apart from e-commerce websites, most professional websites are information-oriented and try to solve visitors’ pain points. So OF COURSE it is worth it, even though it will cost a couple of bucks. Did you know? Websites back in the 90’s costed over $200 dollars to make! And well, now- it costs less than a fancy sundae. If you are a beginner, Bluehost, Wix, and other cloud providers are the way to go. If you are good at technology, then you can go with DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, and other VPS/Dedicated providers. Isn’t it just great? Also, you need to make sure you have SSL/TLS Security, else your customers will think it as a insecure, fraudulent, shady, dark web hiding spot, and- ok thats enough, as a bad website. Do you want your website to be classified as a insecure website? Belive me or not, my website got flagged by Google for not implementing SSL! (thanks dad for not getting SSL). And trust me, some are free, some aren’t. Not every website comes with “automatic security”. Anyway, BYE!

I just got a new phone

Guess what guys, I just got a new phone! it is voice over internet which is nice. I used the Magic Jack brick to connect the phone to our internet line, and it is great. I can receive and send calls now, I am mainly using it for my business and for tech support. Anyway, for the last 2 days, the phone was easy to set up and it took only 10 minutes to get it working. The biggest advantage of VoIP (voice over internet protocol) is that your business will save a bundle on costs. VoIP takes efficiency to a whole new level. Since you’ll be receiving phone calls over the Internet, you’ll cut out the expense of a phone line altogether and instead consolidate both your Internet and voice communication costs. Isn’t that just wonderful? Anyway, I am gonna go now, BYEEE!
