Business Update - Alpha's Tech Blog #2

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:03:07 +0000

Welcome back everyone to my 2nd tech blog post. A lot has happened since my last blog post and I am really eager to tell everyone about it.

From where we left off, I had stopped playing minecraft and started to focus more on my schoolwork. I went for a few walks with my dad and we started talking about my business and he gave me some great ideas that could help my future business skyrocket (my dad is a genius and engineer who focuses on problem solving). I was so hyped up with all these business ideas that I couldn't wait any longer. I decided that I was gonna start my business now. I started off by creating a massive paragraph on my business and what it was about. I then worked with my mom to create a Facebook post in our neighborhood group advertising my business (I call it a neighborhood but in reality its something a bit different than that but if I told you guys then you could find me). After a few days, I had many customers.

You guys are probably wondering what my business is about. Basically, my business is a IT Support business (if you already guessed that then congrats). I have people from all over my neighborhood come to me with broken laptops and other devices that they need fixed. They fill out a google docs form with all the details of their issue and I meet with them in person and pick up the laptop.

The problem is that a few weeks go by and I want to grow my business cuz I don't have enough income to make a living (I've only made $56 so far but I have a lot of customers that are still in the process of filling out my form). I start by figuring out what I need to have ready in the future by the time I am able to buy a building and have my business available to people across the country. I came to the conclusion that I would need to have some way of advertising my business to the country so I visited ads.google.com and spent some time learning about how that works. Turns out, I will need a website to setup the kinds of ads I want. For the past week I have just been working on making a website. Once KS can find a way of allowing high res pictures on here I'll show my website and code. Here is a very low resolution screenshot of my desktop:

As an added bonus, I'll show my irl computer setup in a later post cuz my pc has a terrible webcam.

Welp, that's about it for my blog post of the month. I hope you guys liked reading that. If you have any tips for me just let me know. Peace

PS. KS if there is a way to post high resolution pictures could you let me know how? Thanks!

I secretly hope KS answers this...

Another tech-related question for experts

SOOOO, back to the gaming console thing!

For those who didn't see my previous post, I was asking if I would be able to connect and Xbox 360 to an early/ mid- 2000's CRT TV that only had the yellow and white output thingys (). Thanks to an unregistered user, I now know that it will in fact work! It actually makes a ton of sense considering both the TV and the console were manufactured within a few years (less than a decade) of each other.

But, I now am looking into getting an Xbox One instead of a 360. I have a 13-inch wide screen, but the quality is shockingly not that bad! Now, considering this and the other characteristics of my television (2004? Magnavox 13-inch CRT TV), would it be okay and be possible to get an Xbox One? Would the appearance of games/ resolution be alright??

And for those of you who don't really know the answer to my questions, you can answer me this- do you like the One or 360 better?? :)

Hope you all are doing well :D

Tech question (I really need someone who knows their stuff)

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 04:10:24 +0000

Hi! So I am currently in the market for a vintage Xbox, and I've been seriously considering purchasing a 360 (which came after the original Xbox in 2005). Here's the thing- I also own a vintage CRT television and I'm not sure how I would go about hooking it up. My only connectors are a yellow and white for audio and visual, but I DO NOT have a red connector. My TV is a early 2000's (2003, I think?) Magnavox CRT with a 13 inch glass screen, and it's connectors are in the front towards the bottom right. I haven't looked at the back yet, but from what I remember it doesn't really have anything on the back to connect to except a USB-looking-thingy. Is it possible I can still hook up a 360 to my TV with only the yellow and white connectors? Ik I'll need an adapter, but which one?

Thanks so much!! :D
