How to Migrate from Windows to a Chrome OS

If you have already looked into buying a Chromebook, you probably noticed how limited the internal storage is on most of them. Seriously, who can get by with 16GB of internal storage?! The answer--most people.

One fantastic aspect of Chrome OS is that it pushes you to be device independent by expecting you to utilize Google services for cloud storage. Device independence means that you aren't reliant or locked into a single device. Did you just smash your Chromebook? No problem, just access your data from almost any other device with an internet connection until you replace it.

Because Google pushes Chromebook users to become device independent, most individuals barely use the limited internal storage on their Chromebook. Instead, they upload their data to the appropriate could-based Google service.

Most individuals can divide their data into five categories; Music, Photos, Videos, Books, and Documents. Google gives you free storage for each of these categories, which makes migrating from a Windows computer a breeze.

Music: Google Play Music

Google allows you to upload 20,000 songs for free! If you have more than 20,000 songs, it is probably time to clean unwanted music out of your library anyways. If you are worried about exceeding the 20,000 songs, remember that any music purchased through Google Play Music does not count towards your 20,000 song upload limit.

To upload your music, go to Google Play Music and press the "Add Music" button. Drag your entire "Music" folder from Windows Explorer into the Add Music window. For those of you who don't always get your music legitimately, you know who you are, look for more music in your Downloads folder.

Uploading music can take a long time, especially if your internet connection is slow. Get ready to sit back and wait.

Pictures and Videos: Google+ Photos

If your photos are less than 2048x2048 pixels, Google allows unlimited photo uploads to Google+ Photos. If your photos are larger than 2048x2048 pixels, Google+ Photos will automatically offer to scale the photos to qualify for unlimited photo uploads. 

Additionally, Google+ Photos allows unlimited video uploads for videos less than 15 minutes long. 

Understandably, you may want to keep some higher quality photos above 2048x2048 pixels or videos longer than 15 minutes. In this case, any the photos larger than 2048x2048 pixels or videos longer than 15 minutes count towards your "Drive Storage."

Every Google account automatically gets 15GB of Drive Storage. However, if you need more space, additional storage is fairly inexpensive. Drive Storage consists of Photos larger than 2048x2048 pixels and videos longer than 15 minutes inside of Google+ Photos. Additionally, all email in your Gmail account and all files uploaded to Google Drive count towards your Drive Storage.

Videos (again): YouTube

YouTube, we have all heard of it. However, most people just consume content and never upload their own. If you have videos over (or under) 15 minutes long that need to be stored online, look at storing them on YouTube. 

Google places strict guidelines on what can be uploaded, so YouTube is not the place to upload the latest season of Game of Thrones or any kinky bedroom videos. However, if you have some home videos, go ahead and upload them. Who knows, you may be sitting on the next viral cat video.
If you are concerned about privacy, you can set the privacy setting to private so only select individuals can view your video.

eBooks: Google Play Books

Google Play Books allows you to upload up to 1000 PDF or EBUP documents smaller than 100MBs each. If you're a person that likes to read eBooks on your phone, tablet, or computer, you can upload your eBooks to Google Play Books to read your book from any device. Additionally, you can switch between devices and pick up right where you left off.

Furthermore, all books, magazines, and comics purchased through Google Play Books are accessible from your library and do not count towards your 1000 document upload limit.

Everything Else: Google Drive

Google Drive is essentially where all your documents and miscellaneous files get stored. However, you have to be conscious of this space because files uploaded to Google Drive count towards your Drive Storage limit. However, files made with Google apps like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, etc. do not count towards your storage limit. You can have as many of them as you want.

If you are migrating from Windows, utilize the other Google services mentioned in this post first. Remaining files should be uploaded to Google Drive if you want to keep them.

You could not utilize any other Google services and just upload all your files to Google Drive. However, because individuals only get 15GBs of Drive Storage, this is not a viable free option for most people. You could just pay for expanded Drive Storage so you could upload all your files, but then you will not be able to utilize the features of other Google services.

That is all there is to it. After everything is uploaded to Google services, you can log into your Chromebook and have instance access to all your files.

How I Have a $10 Monthly Cell Phone Bill - A Republic Wireless Review

Three months ago I switched cell phone carriers to Republic Wireless. Now I am here to tell you all about Republic Wireless and about my experience with them.

Republic Wireless is a newcomer to the mobile phone service industry. However, being new does not give them a disadvantage. This is because Republic Wireless dominates other carriers in one major area--price.

THE PLANS

Republic Wireless offers the following phone plans:

• $5 - Unlimited Talk/Text/Data over WiFi
• $10 - Unlimited Talk/Text over WiFi + Cell | Unlimited Data over WiFi
• $25 - Unlimited Talk/Text over WiFi + Cell | Unlimited Data over WiFi + 3G
• $40 - Unlimited Talk/Text over WiFi + Cell | Unlimited Data over WiFi + 4G

Republic Wireless leverages a technology called Hybrid Calling. They believe that most of the time mobile phone users are within range of a wireless network they can connect to. When connected to WiFi, all calls, texts, and data run though the wireless network.

On the rare occasions that you are out of WiFi range, the phone automatically connects to Sprint's network. If your plan allows you to utilize the Sprint network, calls, texts, and data (if included in your plan) will then be routed through them until you reconnect to a WiFi network.

You may be wondering why you wouldn't just stay on Sprint's network full time. If customers do this, Republic Wireless will start losing money on each of them and will have to increase the plan prices to cover the additional costs of utilizing the Sprint Network. Additionally, it been rumored that Republic Wireless has kicked out customers who have abused the service too much.

As part of Republic's mission to keep costs low, tethering data from a Republic Wireless phone to another device is not allowed. However, if you do opt into a plan that includes data, you get up to 5GB per month before Republic will throttle back your speeds.

Lastly, there are no contracts! All Republic Wireless phone plans are prepaid and you are never locked into a single plan. For instance, if you are on a no data plan and decide halfway through the month that you need to upgrade your plan to allow data, you can do so from your phone. You will be prorated from the day you switch the plan up to your bill cycle date. In contrast, If you decide to downgrade your plan, the difference will be credited to your account and applied to the next billing cycle.

THE PHONES

First off, you do have to purchase a Republic Wireless phone. Republic's phones possess a special ROM that allows the phones to utilize WiFi calling and be activated with a Republic Wireless plan. Even if you have a phone that Republic offers, there is nothing that can be done to activate it with Republic Wireless if it is not a Republic Wireless phone.

Republic Wireless offers the following phones in all price ranges:

Moto E $99

• Networks: WiFi, 3G
• Internal Memory: 4GB
• Expandable Memory: Up to 32GB with micro SD card
• Display: 4.3' Edge-to-Edge
• Camera: 5MP Fixed Focus
• Colors: Black or White with optional colored shells

Moto G (1st Gen.) $149-$179

• Networks: WiFi, 3G
• Internal Memory: 8GB or 16GB
• Expandable Memory: None
• Display 4.5' LCD HD
• Camera: 5MP Tap-to-Focus
• Colors: Black with optional colored shells

Moto X (1st Gen.) $299

• Networks: WiFi, 3G, 4G LTE
• Internal Memory: 16GB
• Expandable Memory: None
• Display: 4.7" AMOLED HD 720p
• Camera: 10MP Tap-to-Focus
• Colors: Black or White

Moto X (2nd Gen.) $399

• Networks: WiFi, 3G, 4G LTE
• Internal Memory: 16GB
• Expandable Memory: None
• Display: 5.2" AMOLED Full HD
• Camera: 13MP Tap-to-Focus
• Colors: Black or Design Your Own

If you are looking at the 4G plan for $40 a month, the only phones that Republic Wireless offers that can utilize 4G are the Moto Xs. However, all phones fully support the three lower tier plans.

The price tag on these phones may scare some of you away. However, think about how much you can save during the lifetime of the phone. For instance, my old plan with StraightTalk cost me $45 a month. I am now on the $10 plan with a $35 savings each month. This means that I saved enough on my new plan to pay for my $149 Moto G in just over four months. Furthermore, if I decided to get the Moto X (1st Gen.) for $299, it would have paid itself off in just under eight and half months!

THE COVERAGE

Republic's cellular service is provided by Sprint. It is well known that Sprint's coverage area is not the best carrier for coverage, but it is usually more than adequate for most customers. Check the Republic Wireless coverage map to ensure you would have sufficient signal. 

MY EXPERIENCE

Republic Wireless seems great on paper, but how does it compare in real life? I have had great experiences and some caveats along the way, so let me break it down for you.

The Good:

First, the greatest thing about Republic Wireless is the price. I am on the $10 plan and absolutely love what I get for the money. Secondly, the ease of setting up a phone and changing plans is incredible. This is the fifth cell phone carrier I have tried in the past five years and none of the others have been this simple. Lastly, Republic Wireless is a company that is enthusiastic about what they do. If enough customers request a feature, Republic Wireless finds a way to make it happen, even if they don't think it is possible. I have never seen a company so devoted to their customers

The Bad:

There are a few things about Republic Wireless that aren't great yet. First, because Republic Wireless uses custom ROMs on their phones, access to Android updates take a little longer than other carriers. Usually, this isn't necessarily an issue, but it does delay the treat of that shiny new update. Secondly, as stated earlier, Republic runs off the Sprint network, which in unexceptional. The network works just fine a majority of the time; however, it is not 100% reliable. Lastly, you cannot blacklist networks for calling yet. Consequently, if you connect to a WiFi network that is has a high latency (a.k.a. delay or ping), call quality can be horrible until you switch WiFi networks or disconnect from the poor network. 

If you are would like to predetermine if calls should work on your WiFi network, go to Speedtest.net and run a test. If your ping is above 150 ms, calls will not work properly. The lower your ping, the better the call quality should be.

Overall:

Even with it's caveats, Republic Wireless is my favorite cell phone carrier. I work from home and am in calls for 2-5 hours a day. Occasionally I experience an issue with the call and have to call the person back, but this is a very rare occurrence. Considering I save $35 a month in expenses, this is something I have no problem continuing to deal with. However, with that said, I know that issues with routine use will get resolved as Republic Wireless irons them out. 

To conclude, if you are looking for something cheaper or just something new, Republic Wireless is it. You will never find a better deal or carrier.

How to Study for the Cisco ICND2 200-101 Exam on a Budget

It took nearly eight and a half month, but I finally got around to sitting my INCD2 200-101 exam--and Passed! I wrote a prior post on How to Study for the Cisco ICND1 100-101 Exam on a Budget. Although the materials I used for the 200-101 have not changed much, these are the study materials I used to pass my test and become CCNA certified on a budget.

BEST OPTIONS FOR UNDER $25

Buy: Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom ($25)

Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide is hands down the best exam preparation material that can be purchased for both networking neophytes and veterans. The book is well written and breaks topics down into small, easy to read chapters. Before each chapter you can take a short quiz to determine if you already know what the chapter covers. In addition, a companion CD is included with the book. The companion CD has quizzes for the end of each section as well as simulation labs, and a lot more supplemental material.

Trial: CBT Nuggets offers a trial of it's entire IT training video library for one week, which should be plenty of time to watch the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series for free! The total course duration for the Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series is 13 hours and 40 minutes--easily watchable in a one week for most people. Additionally, the series' audio tracks can be downloaded and listened to offline.

Be sure to check out my post on how to avoid being charged after the CBT Nuggets trial ends. 

I went with this $25 option for the ICND2 200-101 exam. I found the time to watch the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series in just one week and then proceeded to read Wendell's book cover-to-cover--using the companion CD along the way.

BEST OPTIONS FOR UNDER $125

Buy: Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom ($25)

Subscribe: CBT IT Training Videos ($99 Per Month)

If you can't find the time to watch all the CBT Nugget the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series in a week, your next option is to pay for a full month. The sticker price is expensive, but the content quality is worth every penny if you can't squeeze watching the entire series in one week during the trial.

CONCLUSION

Try to do the $25 option. Don't worry if you do not fully grasp all the material after watching the CBT Nugget series once. I used the CBT Nugget series as an introduction into the INCD2 200-101 topics. I then used Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom to really learn everything I needed to know for the exam. While the CBT IT Training Videos helped introduce me to a new topic and make it less scary, Wendell's book gave me the details I needed to pass the exam. 

Lastly, make sure know all the topics that Cisco lists on the exam's webpage before sitting the exam. As soon as you know each topic well enough to be able to explain them to someone else, you should be ready to sit the exam. Good luck!

Use a USB-to-Serial Adapter on a Chromebook with Beagle Term

I love my Acer C720 Chromebook. However, as a Network Administrator I was constantly having to switch over to my Windows laptop to use a USB-to-Serial adapter to configure networking equipment. At least until I discovered an application called Beagle Term for Chrome.

Beagle Term

Platform: Google Chrome

Price: Free

Download Page

What is it?

Beagle Team a serial terminal emulator, written entirely in JavaScript and can be added to any device that supports Google Chrome Apps--For instance, Chrome OS. Additionally, it is lightweight, easy to use, open-source, and free!

Bottom Line

Beagle Term is a necessity for anyone that has to use USB-to-Serial adapters--especially with a Chromebook. In my experience, not only is it super easy to install (you press one button), but it is much easier than connecting to a serial interface with PuTTY on a Windows device.

Have any great Chrome apps that you don't know how others can live without? Or have anything to add about Beagle Term? Tell us about it in the comments below.
