Photos: never lose a photo again

Back in Google I/O 2015 Google launched a new service. A service which would change my life! The service was a new gallery app simply called photos. An app which you all are now familiar with, it is an app which allows you to view, backup and organise all your photos and videos!
In this article, I am going to sort of giving you an overview on how to use and move to Google photos and why to use photos. So that you can also never run out of storage while snapping photos.
MOVING TO GOOGLE PHOTOS
Few tasks feel as daunting as transferring your entire photo library from one service to another. And few things feel worse than accidentally losing images or videos that you can’t replace. So as great as Google Photos might be, switching to it won’t be a small undertaking for everyone. The best and easiest way for me would be to use your pc. Copy all your photos onto your pc, then download a simple app called backup and sync on your PC or MAC. And just like that, you can upload all your photos to the google photos service!
Now that you have downloaded and set up the app you will face a question about the quality of the photos you want to upload. Uploading photos in their original quality are going to cost you precious storage. While opting for the high-quality option, will give you unlimited storage for your photos for the price of 0.
THE HELPFUL, AUTOMATIC ASSISTANT
Google has an assistant tab built into the app. This should really help out beginners, by sorting out images, helping you to set which folders to back up and free storage by deleting photos which have already been backed up from your device!
Then there is search
We all know Google collects our data. That data has been used to proper use in the app. The search feature is deadly accurate. Never have I required to type twice to get to the photo I was looking for.And the search results have only gotten better with time.
It even lets you create GIFs
Ever seen a Samsung Galaxy advertisement where they show how their phones can create gifs? Well, they are telling you lies! You can easily create gifs by stitching multiple photos from your library. Pro tip: use the burst mode on your camera app for the best result.
The miscellaneous
It even lets you create movies, collages and albums. It even makes them automatically! If that was not enough, it lets you share your creations with extreme control over who gets to do what with your photos. It lets you archive the photos which you want to hide and even lets you saturate the sky with the built-in photo editor.
All in all
Google Photos is a solid service by Google and is miles ahead of the competition and warrants your attention. It is a must-have!

I have this urge to use Ubuntu

I have been a Windows user forever. I have used almost every version of Windows since, Windows XP. But, now I feel that the core experience of Windows has been stale since XP. We still need the start menu, the file Explorer is basically the same with little to no change. The icons are now modernised, but the base is still the same. New Apps like photos and Groove did bring a breath of fresh air in the Windows ecosystem, but it wore off quite quickly. Now I find myself craving for new. Since Apple hardware is overpriced, I only have one way quench my thirst for change. Linux, while Linux is not the most popular operating systems in the world. Its distros look quite compelling and attract me. Ubuntu is leading the charge, they are the biggest among the distros. One could say that Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux distros. Hence, it should be stable right? Who knows maybe one of these days Windows might do something, which might push me over the edge and bring chang...

Someone is back in town!

The third season of Supergirl premiered this week. A series which I first started to watch because of the “hot chick” portraying SuperGirl, has now become of my favourites in Arrowverse. Last season ended with Kara losing the love of her life Mon-El. And this season begins with her questioning her decision! This is the most human that Supergirl is ever going to be. We see her shut off from the rest of the world. Kill Kara one might say and focus on chasing bank robbers and putting them behind bars. She even quits her job! The season premiere tries to be character heavy, something which I was not expecting it to be. The episode, however, introduces plot points for the rest of the season to build on. At first, we see the introduction of a new villain, whose name I have forgotten, a builder who plans to improve his business by levelling the place where the Supergirl statue is built. Next up we see an unknown ship into the ocean right at the end. And if that was not enough, anothe...

The Best Android Browser

I like everyone used to use chrome on my phone. Well because it is preloaded on to my phone and I also used chrome on my PC. So there was no reason to think otherwise, right? Well, I used to do that before I got into tech. When I was an uninformed user. But you do not need to remain uninformed, as I am here to help you decide which browser is the best for you! Now, if you are heavily invested in the Google ecosystem. then go on keep on using Chrome. By no means is it a bad browser. It is just a tad bit resource intensive. However, if you are open to the possibility of change, then here is the best browser for Android according to me. Brave: Brave is founded by the co-founder of Firefox. The browser, however, is based on chromium and the blink engine. What this means is that this browser is wicked fast. It looks and feels exactly like Chrome. So Chrome users should feel right at home. But, it lacks the nags of Chrome. For example, it consumes a lot less b...
