Identify Your iPad Model

If you’re having a little trouble identifying your iPad, Apple has a page that identifies the year and the model of your iPad. You need to search for your model number at the back of your device between the FCC ID and the Serial Number. You’ll find some number that starts with an “A” similar to this “A1489.” On the Apple page, you need to search for your model number. It will tell you what iPad version do you have.

How To Prevent Plastic Mat From Moving On Carpet

How To Prevent Plastic Mat From Moving On Carpet

We just laid new carpeting three months ago. I bought a new plastic mat so it doesn’t wear out the carpet underneath the computer chair. There’s a slight problem though, the mat keeps moving towards the wall and it would curl up, and I have to constantly pull it back. This happens on a daily basis. I read online that you can secure a plastic map to the carpet and floor using really long tacks, but I really don’t want to do that. Another option is to use some kind of carpet gripper underneath the mat. I don’t want to mess up the carpet either. Finally, it dawned on me, why don’t I just place the plastic mat underneath one or a couple of the legs of the desk.
