Go to the Android folder on your phone. Browse for WhatsApp media & delete all the sent photos & videos. I recently freed more than 9GB of storage. Why do I still use WhatsApp? All my family members, relatives, & friends use it. WhatsApp is the default sharing app in India & is used for all types of work. #tech #technology #app #WhatsApp #TechTips #FediHelp #Meta #chat #ChatApp #BigTech #software

As i sit on the Bangalore office on Day 4 of 5, some valuable lessons I think I knew but had forgotton because of the lack of travel..

  1. My work Windows laptop the HP Elitebook people who use outlook edition has 3hrs battery life.. I had to charge it twice.
  2. USB2.0 is king outside of my tech bubble. While all of my (and probably most of your) devices are new USB3.0 the outside world still relies on USB2.0 connectors in planes and power strips in offices.
  3. I've moved my work life for this trip to my Samsung tablet (Onenote, Outlook, Teams and Edge) because its easier to take hand written notes in meetings.
  4. No one likes the smart arse with the little rectangle thing recording the meeting and transcriing it with AI..
  5. Having plex and youtube media downloaded to the same tablet is a life saver..
  6. Saily, Nomad choose what you will, a local eSIM is a requirement... especially with tethering..

Some other things ive noted about India in no particular order

  • Paying with a QR code is a thing.. had an issue paying for the Uber from the Airport to the hotel because only Revolt provides such a service
  • Doing anything from buying a McDonalds to getting a vistors visa requires a local phone number..
  • Potholes take priority over actual usable roads in Bangalores suburbs
  • I've eaten soooo much local food, and its all soooo good.

Many people use power strips and surge protectors interchangeably, but they are very different. It is easy to make power strip mistakes like daisy chaining or plugging in a space heater. These errors can lead to house fires or fried gear. Have you checked your desk or TV lately? Stay safe and check your setup. https://gwizit.com/go/bvPkAYe #HomeSafety #TechTips #ElectricalSafety

One of the biggest technology myths is that you have to keep up with everything. You don't. Learn the tools that solve your problems. Ignore the rest until you actually need them. There's no prize for installing every new app. #TechTips #Productivity

Quik accessibility hack for blind NVDA and Signal Desktop users! 🎧💬 Signal developers are great, but the desktop app can be incredibly chatty and overwhelming with NVDA. Instead of waiting for an official fix, I found a workaround all by myself: 1. Create a new configuration profile in NVDA and name it "Signal". 2. Link this profile to trigger automatically only when the Signal app is active. 3. In Object Presentation settings, uncheck "Report dynamic content changes" and progress bars. Result? You can finally breathe and use Signal in peace. It might not be a perfect permanent fix, but it works flawlessly for now! 🛡️✨ #Accessibility #A11y #NVDA #SignalApp #ScreenReader #Blind #TechTips #BlindTech
