Initiative Q

Image
Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. Here is my invite link: https://initiativeq.com/invite/SS_y1xhTm  This link will stop working once I’m out of invites. Let me know after you registered, because I need to verify you on my end.

GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR IPHONE

Image
This is actually a continuation from the last post about iPhone hacks. Here are some iPhone tricks you probably didn't know about 1. MAKE YOUR SPEAKER LOUDER:         This is specially for those music lovers without Bluetooth speaker.   Go to settings>music>eq>choose late night. Doing this will add a special extra boost to your speaker and enhances your audio. 2. LIMIT YOUR PHONE ADDICTION :         We all have that phone privacy problem. App icons can be very colorful, this attracts more               people to click. But if you have a plain b&w screen, people will be less inclined to use the apps. To do this:  go to settings> general> accessibility> display accommodation> color filters.   This will make people less attracted to your apps. 3. HIDE YOUR APPS:          This trick will help you protect your private apps from people. It hides your apps without the         use of any external app. To do this; hold down the app you wish to hide

How to recover erased files from your SD card

Image
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed to recover deleted files from an SD card. Okay, yes I can. Three. But that’s three times too many. The first time was after my freshman year of college. I can’t remember the exact reason, but I was totally devastated because I thought I had lost all my pictures. I paid like $60 bucks for an SD card recovery program, and I retrieved all those photos. The second time was about a year ago. I realized I formatted my SD card before I retrieved all the photos. I tried to recover them but none of the methods I used were working. The missing photos weren’t all that important, so I gave up. The third time was two days ago. I started using my desktop computer recently to upload and edit photos. It had just upgraded to Windows 10, and I was confused with how it was importing photos. Long story short, I ended up importing all the photos except for ones taken in July. I didn’t realize this, and I formatted the card in preparation for

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOUR IPHONE COULD DO

1. Take Siri to School Tired of Siri pronouncing things wrong? Next time she screws something up, tell her "That's not how you pronounce X," and then pronounce it for her. She'll give it another try, and offer you a few options for how she now thinks she's supposed to pronounce the word. Pick the one that sounds the best, and Siri will use that pronunciation from now on. 2. Level Up Need a level for a quick DIY project at home? The compass app on your iPhone has one built in. To use it, open up the compass app on your phone, and then swipe to the left to pull up the level screen. 3. Give Better Vibrations You're not limited to the same vibration for everything. Go into the Settings of your phone and then select Sounds, Vibration, and then Create New Vibration to tap out your own buzzing pattern. You can name your creation and then use it as a vibration alert for anything you'd like. For instance, you could have one vibration pattern to signal that

1. Send Your Ex Straight to Voicemail We've all got a few people we'd rather not talk to. Rather than manually screening every call, set up your phone to do the dirty work for you. Load up the culprit's contact card, select Edit, and then scroll down to Additional Info. Select "Send straight to voicemail" from the list to have every subsequent call from that person bypass your ringer entirely. 2. Screen Calls More Politely Okay, you're not always sending people to voicemail because you can't stand them. Sometimes you're in a meeting and can't talk. Android has a way to silence a call without giving your friend the cold shoulder; you can send a custom text message to let him know you'll call back later. To create your own note, go to Phone Settings, and then Quick Responses. Next time you need to silence a call, swipe up to send your canned response. 3. Map it Out Just because you're traveling somewhere without cell service doesn
