It’s Boxing Day and the second day of Christmas. Spare a thought for those who have been of service to you.
These two cheery “Gingerbread” couple welcomed us at the Church of St Peter and St Paul when we were returning to our cottage in the Cotswolds after dark and decided to take a walk around the village. This photo was taken with a Huawei Mate 50 Pro smartphone.
Boxing Day is a public holiday in many countries celebrating the day after Christmas.
According to Wikipedia, “though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to poor people, today Boxing Day forms part of Christmas celebrations, with many people choosing to take advantage of Boxing Day sales”.
The Oxford English Dictionary gives the earliest attestation from Britain in 1743, defining it as “the day after Christmas day”, and saying “traditionally on this day tradespeople, employees, etc., would receive presents or gratuities in the form of “Christmas Boxes” from their customers or employers.”

Here’s wishing everyone who celebrates Christmas a very Blessed X’mas!
We found this charming X’mas tree and fireplace in the House of MinaLima Harry Potter Shop in London, a collaboration between two graphic designers (Miraphora and Eduardo Lima) who created the entire graphic universe of the Harry Potter movies and the Wizarding World.
May peace be with you and your loved ones in this festive season.
Fans of Harry Potter must visit the House of MinaLima (in the Christmas Card above) when you visit London.

Roborock combines cutting-edge technologies with a keen awareness of what home-owners want to produce robot vacuums with floor-cleaning features that get the job done with minimum human intervention.
Roborock is the Best Robot Vacuum Brand 2022 in the tech4tea.com Best-in-Class Awards this year.
Having used multiple robot vacuum floor-cleaners since their debut more than a decade ago, tech4tea.com has witnessed the evolution in their design and performance over time.
The flagship S7 MaxV Ultra exemplifies Roborock’s ability to home-owners’ desire to keep their homes clean with minimum fuss and human intervention.
In the early days, a simple robot vacuum could only vacuum the floor with limited effectiveness, and required the user to manually empty the dust compartment and clean the vacuum robot frequently.
Nowadays, with robot vacuums like the S7 MaxV Ultra from Roborock, home-owners can delegate the floor cleaning of their homes completely to their robot vacuums, with minimum fuss and human intervention.
The S7 MaxV Ultra, for example, not only vacuums but also mops the floor.

#tech4travel: When I’m on road or go on vacation, the most important laptop accessory I bring along is the Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter, which expands the limited connectivity options on the ultraportable laptop that I bring along.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter is a must-have accessory for my ultraportable laptop when I’m on vacation and on the road.
For full connectivity on my Work From Home workspace, the centerpiece is my Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock, which provides full compatibility and connectivity for my laptop to other devices and peripherals, including those using legacy ports such as VGA ports.
When I go on vacation, or present at clients’ offices, I usually bring an ultraportable laptop which has a limited number of physical ports for the sake of compactness.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter has an RRP of S$109 in Singapore.
There are actually some ultraportable laptops out there that have a sum total of ONE USB-C port!

#t4tWorkFromHome: One of the most important accessories on my Work From Home setup is the Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock, because it turns my laptop into a well-connected workstation.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is the connection central for my Work-From-Home setup.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock enables me to connect my laptop to a whole host of other devices and peripherals without having to worry about a shortage of ports on my laptop, especially when using an ultraportable laptop which usually suffers from a dearth of ports.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock has an RRP of S$149 in Singapore.
The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also allows my laptop to connect to other devices when the laptop does not have the correct port (e.g HDMI or Ethernet ports) or the connected device still uses legacy ports (eg. VGA video port).
This can come in useful when going to a new presentation venue and you’re not sure what kind of devices (and connectors) the venue uses.
So on my workspace at home, my laptop is connected to an external monitor via the HDMI port on the 11-in-1 Multiport Dock.
My ultraportable doesn’t have an HDMI port so the dock is a godsend in hooking up my ultraportable to the 4K monitor.
The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also has DisplayPort and VGA video ports as well.
For power, the Multiport Dock supports pass-through charging up to 100W.
