I have been purchasing the APC 1500VA Smart UPS battery backups for a few clients now and they been holding up great. One of the top features I love about these product line is the APC SmartConnect. This feature is the first cloud-enabled UPS for Distributed IT. Through a secure portal (via any internet-connected device), you can view the status of your UPS, receive notifications, get firmware updates and more.

Hard Disk Drive Storage (HDD)
Hard disk drives or HDDs are the traditional storage devices for personal computers. You can find them in the majority of notebooks, especially inexpensive ones.

Horrible Call Quality With Samsung Galaxy s10 Lineup
The Samsung Galaxy s10 lineup of phones are great machines, the specs are great and the hard within them are amazing. However what in the world is going on with the call quality of these phones? I have been doing some research and many other people are ranting and raving on the Samsung forums and on Reddit about having the same issues with horrible phone call quality.
People have mentioned that it could be a carrier issue with ATT, however others like myself have Version and are experiencing the same issue.
