HP's EliteBook 800 Series and ZBook Firefly 14 and 15 G8 Now Ship With Tile Software Pre-Installed

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Tile,the world's leading smart location company, and HP are introducing additional PC devices with Tile's finding technology to offer peace of mind to millions as they navigate working from home or prepare to head back into the office. Beginning today, HP's popular EliteBook 800 G8 Serieswhich includes the x360830, 830, 840 and 850 modelsand the ZBook Firefly 14 G8 and ZBook Firefly 15 G8, will ship with Tile pre-installed. These new devices join the Elite Dragonfly and EliteBook 1000 Series in HP's growing lineup of Tile-enabled devices.

"We're making Tile's technology more accessible and simple through a pre-installed software solution requiring no hardware, making it far more accessible and easy to use," said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. "Our collaboration with Intel to enable this software-only version of Tile, and with HP to be the first OEM to integrate this capability into their products, is a significant milestone in delivering peace of mind to IT departments and end-users alike."

Once activated through the Tile Windows app, EliteBook 800 Series and ZBook Firefly users can take advantage of Tile features on the Tile mobile app to find their laptop if nearby or far away. These features even work when the device is in sleep, hibernate or soft off mode.

Whether working from home or preparing to head back into the office, the ability to find your laptop is crucial, especially during these uncertain times. Earlier this year, Tile found that nearly three fourths (72 percent) said the ability to locate their lost or misplaced laptop would be very or extremely valuable.

This marks Tile's first device integration with Intel after announcing a collaboration effort earlier this year. The Tile and Intel teams are continuing to work closely with PC manufacturers to determine the best Tile experience for their users. In fact, in 2021 Tile will come pre-installed on select HP-11th Gen Intel Core Platforms configured with Intel wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) WLAN cards and integrated Intel Bluetooth.

"By integrating Tile capabilities into our Wi-Fi / Bluetooth solutions for Intel PC platforms, we've made it extremely easy for our PC partners to activate Tile and offer this feature to users," said Eric McLaughlin, Vice President Client Computing Group and GM Wireless Solutions Group at Intel.

Additional Tile partners include Skullcandy, Comcast, Bose and Herschel among others. Today, virtually any product can be Tile-enabled. Learn more at thetileapp.com/partners.

Tile and HP Expand Tile's Finding Technology Into More PCs - PRNewswire

According to documents submitted to the Planning Department, Elkhorn Landing LLC anticipates construction to start early next year on its first building that would be completed by mid-2022. The second building is to be built in a later phase and perhaps finish by 2024.

Tyler Curnes of Main Street Studios & Gallery told Planning Board members last week he was concerned about the already scarce parking situation in downtown Elkhorn and additional stress expected by Elkhorn Landing.

Jim Lang, attorney for the Elkhorn Station project, addressed the board to urge that the Elkhorn Landing team share in the cost of public improvements to 206th Street.

Planning Board members, after hearing concerns, delayed a vote on Elkhorn Landing's TIF redevelopment project plan until next month.

Meanwhile, developers plan to meet further with area business groups and city officials.

Paul Hartke is making 2020 the year that he follows his dreams.

I have always worked for someone else my entire adult career, he said. But I have always had a desire to own my own business and build a legacy for my children.

Hartke, who lives in Marion, recently became a franchise owner with Floor Coverings International.

We offer pretty much anything you would want to put down on your floor, said Hartke, citing the stores offerings of carpet, tile, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank/tile, bamboo, cork, stone and area rugs.

Hartke visits customers homes in a mobile flooring showroom stocked with some 3,500 flooring samples.

His son serves as office manager while also a full-time student at Kirkwood Community College.

When the decision was made to become his own boss, Hartke looked at four different franchises. He decided on Floor Coverings International because of its franchisee support, he recalled, allowing him to draw on the best practices of 150 other franchises.

In addition, Hartke believed his new business would dovetail with his wife and daughters business as real estate agents.

While Hartke did not have direct experience in flooring sales, he said hes been leaning on his past work experience as he launches this business.

I felt confident due to my experience in building homes when I lived in Kansas City, he said.

He also can tap into his experience working as an HVAC sales engineer for 20 years.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT

Hartke opened the business in the last year, which of course came with challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Being the new kid on the block and getting your name out is always a challenge, he said, I am figuring out the appropriate rate of growth, so I dont grow too fast or too slow ... .

Because of COVID, obviously, we are all masked up, he said. In some ways it has hurt because people many not want you their home. But on one hand COVID helped from the perspective that people still want to do home improvement projects and feel more comfortable having someone come to their home so they do not have to leave and actually go to a store.

Hartke also is working with customers dealing with derecho damage.

I have learned quickly that being a small-business owner you wear many hats.

On any given day, Hartke is going on consultations, ordering flooring, receiving deliveries at the warehouse and hopping on corporate Zoom meetings.

Clients are dealing with me from the consultation, to measuring, to the final install, he added.

This year feels like it's been at least a decade. How we live and work has changed drastically, and I think that 2021 will be less about getting back to normal, and more about rediscovering a new normal.

Gadgets have, unsurprisingly, played a big part over the year, across all facets of life, from work, to rest, and play, and as the year draws to a close I wanted to highlight the gadgets and gear that have earned their place in my office, backpack, or pocket.

Since I don't want this review dominated by Apple gadgets, let's just assume that my iPhone, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and AirPods Pro were with me within arm's reach pretty much all the time.

This is the other stuff! And some of this stuff you may have seen before, and some you may not.

Must read: How to securely erase hard drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs)

This thing has been charged and recharged dozens of times, thrown into a backpack or suitcase, and been used to charge a myriad of devices, from my MacBook to earbuds, and it's still as good as new.

A total workhorse of a power bank.

Read more.

This is my desktop charger of choice. It replaces four other chargers (including my MacBook Pro USB-C charger and my iPhone charger).

This has been in continuous use for months now without any issues whatsoever.

Read more.

When I need portable power when out and about, this is the power station that's seen the most use. It's not the biggest I have, but it is ideal if I need to carry it in and out myself (I might choose something bigger if I can leave it in a vehicle).

Read more.

While I've found Rode wired microphones to be flimsy (having broken a Rode Lavalier GO and a Rode HS2-PL within a few weeks), the Wireless Go has been in pretty much daily use for the past eight to nine months without any real issue. This set works pretty good, has a decent range, and has stood up to all the usual knocks and scuffs.

Great for taking gear such as GoPros and battery packs into the outdoors on camping or filming trips. It does a great job of keeping sand and water away from things, and for protecting them from drops and being crushed.

Have you ever found yourself buying something in a bit of a rush,not having the time to do proper research, and yet been pleasantly surprised? That's how it went with this case. I did a little research, it looked good, I bought it, and it far exceeded my expectations. I've packed it so tight that there wasn't room for an extra molecule inside it, dragged it miles across sidewalks, cobbled streets, and even dirt tracks, and it's not let me down.

Whether this is a toy or a serious bit of work kit depends on how you use it. It's a professional platform that you can use to get serious results, and yet that's really easy to fly.

I've put a lot of kilometers on mine and not only found it to be so much fun, but it's taken my photography and videography to a new level.

This is the perfect Android 10 smartphone for the engineer. It's rugged, speedy, and the thermal camera and optional borescope make it a great tool for getting work done.

Read more.

There are cheaper massage guns out there, but this one is the best I've used. The smartphone app feels a bit gimmicky, but the powerful motor makes this one stand head and shoulders above the rest at melting away aches and tension.

This is a great way to read ebooks or listen to audiobooks on a distraction-free device.

I've carried one of these for miles stuffed with gear, and it's still going strong. The best sling backpack that I've owned.

I've totally forgotten what it's like to misplace my keys or wallet. Huge timesaver!

I haven't yet had a chance to use the GoPro Hero 9 Black, but I have put many hours of use on my two Hero 8 Black units, and they're the only camera I have that's better than the one on my iPhone.

Great for putting a smartphone on a tripod. It takes even the biggest smartphone in the chunkiest case, and holds it tight.

A great way to clamp a camera onto, well, everything from railings to the edge of a desk. The articulations are super smooth, allow for infinite adjustment, and yet itlocks up tight.

Perfect for lining up that shot just right!

Whether organizing your way to happiness or embracing hygge, the Danish philosophy of cozy living, it always seems that just when you catch up to a design craze, insiders are already on to the next. So while the ascendance of Ikigai was intriguing, skepticism seemed wise. Ikigai, which translates to 'having a purpose' in English, is of Japanese origin, associated with the feeling of self-fulfillment earned by pursuing a meaningful life. Today, it's being embraced by the creative community. But unlike other decor movements that entail, say, purging your closets of joyless objects or surrounding yourself with adorable throw pillows and charming ceramics, it's not so dictatorial. After all, who can argue with the idea of purpose-driven design?

Lucky for us, the design industry is embracing Ikigai, not as a trend, but as a time-honored philosophy-and one that's here to stay. Kari Pei, VP of Global Design for Interface, the global commercial flooring company, first learned about Ikigai many years ago while working in Japan, when she was teaching Japanese mills how to use French weaving programs. 'Over the years, I've studied Japanese design, culture, and architecture. Japanese culture strives to work in harmony with the natural environment, which gets right at the heart of our mission. The concept of Ikigai marries perfectly with my own personal (as well as Interface's) design goals,' she says. 'I think of Ikigai as an existential belief closely related to well-being and happiness, through connection with others and with nature.'

Starting with the edict that great design must exist in harmony with nature, Pei and her team set out to create modern, beautiful, carpet tiles with the environment in mind. The result: Interface's breathtaking Embodied Beauty collection. Inspired by timeless Japanese aesthetics, the collection is not only alluring, but innovative, as all seven styles of Embodied Beauty are carbon neutral across their full product life cycle, with three styles being carbon negative when measured cradle to gate. Ultimately, all Embodied Beauty options help lower the carbon footprint of a space. 'Interface's purpose is to lead an industrial re-revolution, or to show the world that business can be used as a force for good,' says Pei, who is on a mission to create products that benefit the environment. 'We have a responsibility to the planet,' she says. 'Each time we produce a carpet tile, we're using energy and resources that aren't easily replenished. That's why we work so hard to minimize the carbon footprint of our flooring by using bio-based materials and recycled content.'

Products shown: Sashiko Stitch (Color: Jadeite) & Shishu Stitch [-CO2] (Color: Ash)

Accordingly, everything from her choice of materials to the weight of the carpet and even the composition of the tiles' backing was considered in terms of its environmental impact. 'We used a totally new machine and new yarns to create the carbon negative products in the Embodied Beauty collection, so we were working with a brand-new set of tools, which influenced everything from pile heights to design, textures, and colorways,' says Pei.

Best of all, she didn't have to sacrifice style for sustainability. The Embodied Beauty collection reflects the refined simplicity so often associated with Japanese culture. As a whole, the collection embraces calm, muted grays in warm and cool tones alongside natural colors for added dimension. Architects and interior designers are especially drawn to the tiles for their wealth of textural possibilities, which helps them to effortlessly create floors that feel luxe, yet are neutral enough to work with a myriad of palettes.

What gave Pei as a designer so much creative license is that Ikigai is a worldview that complements other design schools. Whether you're a minimalist or maximalist, a fan of mid-century design or Art Nouveau, Ikigai's focus on purpose allows it to be a gentle, guiding force. 'We were inspired by many traditional Japanese crafts. Firstly, the art of kintsugi, which creates something totally new and beautiful through the act of mending the broken or repairing,' notes Pei. 'The creation of these carbon-storing products takes something traditionally seen as an enemy-carbon-and creates a product that helps to mend our damaged environment, so we're sort of flipping the script.' And the fact that her handiwork is manifested in tiles (versus traditional rugs) makes it easier than ever to control the carbon footprint of a space-designers can utilize them in a mass open area, like an office, or arrange the tiles to accommodate whatever square footage exists, in any creative configuration.

Pei was also able to incorporate other Japanese design elements under the umbrella of Ikigai. She leaned into the idea of wabi-sabi, or embracing the imperfect, as revealed in the unscripted floor patterns found in Geisha Gather. She drew inspiration from sashiko, a decorative stitching technique used to reinforce textiles, as seen in Interface's Sashiko Stitch products. Another traditional Japanese craft called boro-a beautiful technique of combining remnant fabrics, thus creating a patchwork of texture and color-plays an overarching role.

So if you're ready to dip your toes into this design movement and effortlessly elevate your space, a floor designed with Interface's Embodied Beauty carpet can easily be the hero piece of an Ikigai-centric decor scheme. While design fads come and go, this new thinking-with its innate practicality and Earth-friendly ethos-will never go out of style.

Being a homeowner is one of the most excitingachievements, as very few things beat this feeling. As much as it is anexhilarating time, there is a need to ensure your home is protected.

There are various ways to ensure you have acomfortable and secure living space. From beefing up security to purchasing ahome insurance plan, the real estate industry offers a myriad of ways to makeyour stay in your new home worthwhile.

In this article, we are going to focus on one ofthe ways to protect you and your family investing in a home protection plan.

A home protection plan is a contract between ahomeowner and a home protection company that covers the cost of maintaining andreplacing household appliances.

It is not uncommon for people to confuse homeprotection plans for home insurance.

Home insurance is different from home protectionplans. Home insurance covers the house and all its contents from unprecedenteddamages caused by fire, floods, or other calamities. Home protection plans, onthe other hand, protect your home appliances if it malfunctions, maintainingtheir functionality.

There are various types of home protection plans.The best thing is that there are not many restrictions and homeowners cancustomize these plans according to their needs.

There are various reasons why you need a homeprotection plan.

Let us delve into specifics.

A home warranty is an all-inclusive coverage thatcovers various home appliances and systems in the house. However, sincehomeowners are constantly upgrading their appliances and buying newer ones tomake house chores easier, some of these appliances might not receive coveragefrom home warranties. A home protection plan goes a long way in offeringcoverage for such appliances. That way, you receive maximum coverage for allyour household appliances.
