Fun with Kano Code on my 2 in 1 Windows 10 Tablet PC


Venturer 10 Inches Intel Celeron N4000 4GB RAM 64GB Storage Touch 2-in-1 Bluetooth WiFi Windows 10 Tablet PC

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I specifically bought the 2 in 1 Windows 10 Tablet PC so that I can install Ubuntu over it. But, I found out that my old DVD writer is using USB 2.0 and not compatible with the tablet pc. Which has a USB 3.0. I need to find someone that can borrow me the latest external CD/DVD read/writer.

I also discovered that I can't install WSL aka Windows Subsystem for Linux on it. Damn it. But, using Samsung Dex or Microsoft Your Phone app, I can use Termux or Ubuntu that's available on my phone tablet. At least, I got a bigger screen and keyboard.

As I've talked about it in yesterday's post, I'm really surprised how well everything is running. My tablet PC only has 2GB ram and 64GB storage but, in spite of some games or apps which load pretty slow, they run without any problem.

Ok, there are hiccups here and there like now I discovered whenever I press the key, CAPS, the keyboard starts gibberish. I have to unlock the tablet from the keyboard and dock it again. Seems to be a permanent problem. Such a waste, I really like the design with the handle.

Well, I can always use it with other Bluetooth or USB keyboards. Although, there's only one USB port on the tablet. I can actually charge the tablet via the keyboard and it also has a USB port. It has a single USB port that you can use with the USB mouse. Pretty nifty.

That's why it's such a shame there's a problem with the CAPS key. Well, at least I can still install and play with Python coding or with my favorite Kano Code. I used to play with Kano OS on my raspberry pi 3. It's actually for kids but it's great for beginner adults too.

I like playing with the Kano code to create games, music, and whatever you can think of. It's actually the same as SCRATCH. I even have a scratch account with MIT. I created a few games with scratch and you can even play or edit the code. Pretty cool. Check it out here!

The Kano code loads a little slow on my tablet PC and the first time around when I tried adding music sequence it won't work. It works only after I reload the program. It might because I can only hear in my right ear but the speaker isn't loud enough for me, too.

I like the fact how cheap these Windows 10 Tablet PC are. It's not a gaming tablet or powerful laptop but if you just want something for casual usage, it's not that bad. Also, a 2 in 1 is actually great especially if you like coloring or drawing games.

I bought a 7 inch Windows 10 tablet once. Decades ago. I think it's from Lenovo. It's pretty slim like an Android tablet but it lags and in the end, the touch screen doesn't work anymore. So, I had a pretty bad experience. That makes me more surprised that this tablet PC is so much better.

I'm wondering if I can upgrade the 2GB Ram and even the 64GB Rom. I saw the system showing it's an SSD. So, I'm wondering if I can actually upgrade it too if I want to. Hopefully, it's not integrated with the motherboard. I need to figure out if I can open it up first.

I'll update my blog if I can upgrade the ram. I have 4GB ram from my previous laptop. Hehe!

Samsung Dexbook aka Lap dock - Will Samsung ever make it?


Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 256GB Storage | US Version Smartphone Tablet | 2-in-1 Refined Design, Flex Mode | Mystic Bronze

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I made the video above around April 15, 2019. There's a website that shows a concept Samsung Dexbook. It doesn't exist anymore. Not sure why they delete it. It looks pretty cool and a lot of people were actually interested in it.

It's kinda like the Razer concept lap dock for their Razer phone. You can watch the video "Project Linda", here. That would have been my mobile computing wet dream. But, for some reason, they discontinue the phone and didn't create the lap dock.

I even created a poll that people can vote by following the URL >> Do you want Samsung DexBook lap dock polls. Yes or No? Vote: https://linkto.run/p/TQVDUJL8​ - So far, 100% says, Yes! Follow the link to vote if you want it.

The thing is, Samsung has Samsung Dex included with their latest phones. That means you can link your phone to a Tv or a portable monitor and use your phone as a desktop or laptop. It's not just plain mirroring your phone but with a full desktop UI or user interface.

Nowadays, the phone is already like a portable computer right in your pocket. You bring it everywhere and use it for communication, work, and play. Everything is pretty much centered around your device. With a Dex pad or a USB C cable, you can now view your data on a bigger screen with mouse and keyboard support.

Samsung has even updated their mobile CPU with the latest Exynos 2100. Fast internet with 5G. Powerful CPU and GPU. As a Youtuber and Blogger, all that power will make my jobs much better and easier. Better pictures, 8K videos, on the spot video editing, and quick uploading.

Samsung Dexbook or a lap dock for the Galaxy phone will definitely enhance the phone. Yes, I already tried it with a portable monitor and a dex pad. But, guess what? It's kinda a hassle to set it up and to keep it after use.

I actually wish I have something like the HP X3 lap dock. It's not meant for the Samsung phone but it does work. Not really perfect but it's much better than the mess of a portable monitor and a dex pad. Unless you set it up to be permanent.

Samsung has instead created a laptop that will work with their phones. You can link to it via a USB C hub or cable and even charge your phone by putting it on top of the touchpad. Pretty nifty, I must admit. And, you also have the best of both worlds. A Microsoft Windows 10 laptop and Android OS.

The thing is, mobile computing needs a niche of its own. Android OS also has improved. I actually used to hate it. Because back then I loved iOS. It's an alternative to Windows or even Linux. It's now fast, smooth and there's already a plethora of games and apps.

So, why not have something like the Dexbook? You use it as a phone for taking pictures and videos and when you want to edit it on a bigger screen with mouse and keyboard support you just dock it into your lap dock. At the same time, charging it. You don't even need a Windows laptop or desktop anymore.

Now that's what I call pure mobile computing!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, S7+ is having a nice price cut right now. So, if you've been thinking of getting a tablet, get it now!

What I like about the latest Samsung tablet is its ability to change to Samsung Dex mode. If you've been reading through my blog post, you'll know how I love using the Samsung Dex from my phone. Turning it into a computer with its desktop user interface.

Get a Samsung Keyboard case with touch and you'll turn your tablet practically into a laptop. There are already many apps that can be used in the Samsung Dex mode. You can view them in a small window or expand it to full-screen size. Pretty nifty!

The tablet of today has definitely improved. My mom actually still used the old Samsung tablet and it's actually still working fine. She used it mainly to play some games and video-calling her daughter. I actually bought her an Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch but she still prefers to use her old tablet.

As I've said before, I really like that Samsung Dex, UI is available on the new tablet. If you're used to or prefer using a desktop interface, then it'll be much more familiar and easier to use. I don't really like to have all apps on my main page. Even on my phone, I limit it to only the important apps.

If all you need is a tablet for your work and entertainment then definitely, it's a great alternative to a windows laptop too. The ability to use it as a tablet and if need be, you can attach the keyboard to reply to emails or type documents.

Nowadays, if you have an Xbox game pass subscription, you can even play triple-A console-level games on a tablet. But, you'll need wifi access. I'll prefer being able to download my favorite pc games on the tablet itself. Just like what I prefer on my android phone.

Anyway, don't miss out on Samsung's latest price cuts for their products!

Warcraft III Reforged HP 15s AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Radeon Vega 10 gameplay


ROG Zephyrus G15 (2020) Ultra Slim Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 240Hz FHD, GeForce RTX 2060, AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Pro, GA502IV-XS76

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I actually pre-ordered Warcraft III Reforged last year. Or was it early this year? I can't remember but decided to download and try out the game on my new HP laptop 15s AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon X Vega 10 graphics.

I figured, my laptop can play the game as it can play Diablo III pretty well. Although, it's pre-set on low-medium. The HP 15s is not a hardcore gaming laptop. It lags when playing Forza Motorsport 6: Apex. It can only go on low. I had to lower or off some specs. Still playable though.



Acer Swift 3 Thin & Light Laptop, 14" Full HD IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core with Radeon Graphics, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Alexa Built-in, SF314-42-R9YN

The only real gaming laptop I had was the Alienware M14x. Which I bought a couple years back. I actually wanted the M11x. But, couldn't get it as it was only sold for a year, I think. I really had fun with it and try out many games.

The specs weren't that bad when you can almost play any games on it sets on medium-high. It can play Crysis and even Gears of War for PC. Stupid Microsoft, I paid for a digital version of the game, and now I can't play it because they delete the game from the store.



HIDevolution ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401IV, Moonlight White 14" FHD 120Hz, 3.0 GHz Ryzen 9 4900HS, RTX 2060 Max-Q, 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, 1 TB PCIe SSD

The reason I got myself the HP 15s is that it looks like the latest Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. Of course, if I had the money, I would have got it. The HP 15s is half the price of the G14. The G14 is the only gaming laptop that got me as excited as my M14x.

Also, if you look at the G14, it doesn't actually look like the usual crazy design gaming laptop. It's something that you can bring to work or school without anyone looking weird at you. Although, they might when you 'on' the anime led lights on the laptop lid cover.



ASUS ROG GU502GW-AH76 Zephyrus M Thin and Portable Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 240Hz FHD IPS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, Intel Core i7-9750H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Per-Key RGB, Windows 10 Home

I must say, Asus has some nice other gaming laptop design. I don't like the design of most Alienware gaming laptops anymore. I prefer the old slick M14x. Gaming laptops don't have to be weird or out of the world's design. At first, I kinda like the new PS5 design, now, I think it's too far out.

I'm not sure about you but nowadays, I prefer the slick, simple modern design for my digital devices. I read how Steve Jobs was so into industrial design and you can see that on Apple's products. Nowadays, I don't think they follow that mantra anymore after he died. I mean, just look at the iPhone 12?



ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 300Hz FHD IPS Type, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080S Max-Q, Intel Core i9-10980HK, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe SSD, Per-Key RGB, Thunderbolt 3, Win10 Pro, GX550LXS-XS96

If you're looking for something different, you might want to check out the Asus Duo. I found this weird at first but now, I kind of like it. That second screen might actually be useful. I'm using a dual-screen for my main pc setup. So, I kind of get it. 

I recorded the Warcraft III Reforged on my laptop and it went smoothly. The game might lag a tiny bit because of that. I also tried editing using the Microsoft free simple video editor. There was an instance when I thought, I didn't record properly but turn out the video froze. 



I think it's because the AMD Vega 10 graphics isn't good enough. So, that might be something for you to think about if you're getting the same type of laptop specs as mine. I still think it would help a bit if I upgrade my rams to 12-16GB from the 8GB.

I remembered upgrading from 4GB to 8GB for my Intel Celeron N4200 with HD 505 laptop and it immediately improved the laptop performance. So, upgrading rams does help. I used to think 8GB was the minimum for Windows 10 laptops. Now, it might be more than that.

Well, if you're thinking of getting the Warcraft III Reforged, I definitely recommend it. It's just like Starcraft but with a Warcraft theme. I just played the game yesterday, and I'm definitely going to play it again today if I have the time. Especially, since my laptop can play it.

Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) in Microsoft Visual Studio Code


C 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build applications with C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core, and ML.NET using Visual Studio Code, 4th Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been dabbling, playing around with Python and WSL aka Windows Subsystem for Linux using a separate editor. But, yesterday, watching a video on learning python, it was recommended to download and use Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

Recently, I saw a youtube video showing that now, you can use WSL right from inside the Visual Studio. I was intrigued. That's part of the reason I wanted to download and install the Visual Studio code. Seems like will be something new for me to learn.



C 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build applications with C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core, and ML.NET using Visual Studio Code, 4th Edition

For me, this is something new to try and play with. Installation was pretty fast and easy. Once, I installed the Visual Studio code, it immediately asked me if I wanted to add the WSL since I already have it. That's really helpful right from the start.

Of course, the first thing I tried was trying some simple python, "Hello World" code. But, first, it installed and add python for me. You can practically install and use anything from inside the visual studio code. This is a pretty powerful editor.



Visual Studio Code: End-to-End Editing and Debugging Tools for Web Developers

This is funny but after a while doing some python stuff, I go to the terminal and instinctively type, wsl. And, immediately I was brought to the windows subsystem for the Linux command line. I was like, oh ok, that's how I can go to Linux.

It was actually cool to be able to use wsl right from inside the virtual studio code. This way, I can do python stuff, run it, debugs, or whatever and then can just go to Linux terminal and try it there too. You can also do other usual Linux stuff like update and upgrade.



Windows Subsystem for Linux: Tactics, Mindset, and Tips

I didn't show it in the youtube demo video I uploaded but you can also play Linux command line games too. Being able to learn coding in python and at the same time using Linux from right inside the Microsoft editor is really useful for me.

Yeah, I'll still just use the wsl or python thonny editor separately for trying out or checking quick stuff. If I'm really getting into it, I'll then open up the visual studio code. The studio code is not just for python. If you're working on other stuff like Ruby, C#, or whatever, they have it all! 



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

I'm actually also learning coding with SmileBASIC 4 (website) and FUZE 4 (website) on my Nintendo switch lite. It's almost like python. Just the coding and keywords are different. There was a game that also includes a Ruby editor. But, Nintendo discovers it and the game dev had to delete it.

It will actually be fun to be able to use the Ruby editor on my switch lite. It's so powerful that even Nintendo banning the game. That's really a bummer. It would have been a good way for people to learn about coding with Ruby. Money is not everything, Nintendo!

Well, there's so much you can do to have fun!
