Edgy Microsoft

So last year I made a list and ranked the best Android internet browser. I chose Brave Browser as the number 1. But little did I knew back then that Microsoft was about to take the android ecosystem by storm!

Microsoft has launched and updated plenty of their apps. One of the new apps is Microsoft Edge. The best browser for Android.
It nails the basics, but it is the extras that make it stand apart. First of all the browser is stable. Like really stable, something which Brave Browser lacked. Then it syncs with your PC and stores your data on your Microsoft account. Add to that the built in QR scanner.


Then there are the big features. It has two of them. Firstly, it includes and built in ad blocker. A life saver! I believe it is a must for any modern browser because, the modern internet is garbage and is filled with ad and trackers scouring for your data.
The next big feature which I adore is the ability to continue your work on your PC with a simple tap!
Microsoft is serious about its apps and the Edge browser shows that Microsoft is in it to win it!

So I watched Baby Driver

I live in this country where it is nearly impossible for a moviegoer like me to get to watch all the latest blockbuster with the world! Either the movie does not get released or even worse it gets released and you have to go and waste your hard earned money on a trip to this small filthy room known as the movie theatre here to “enjoy” a movie. Well, I refuse to go through this ordeal, hence I have to wait for the movie to be available on the windows store (my preferred destination for movies and series) and enjoy the blockbusters the way they were meant to be enjoyed. So baby driver a return to the big screen for director Edgar Wright after his infamous exit from Ant-Man is one hell of a ride. Right from its first scene of our lead Baby listening to music while escaping from police. Shows what the movie is about. It is a heist drama wrapped in a musical. The concept is delightfully fresh and coupled with the excellent music track to the scenes, which are classic Edgar in style, m...

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...

Utorrent and its identical client BitTorrent are the most popular app to download torrent files onto your PC! Both are available for free, however, the free version can get annoying to have large ads occupying portions of your screen. There is a way you could make those ads disappear and enjoy an ad-less experience for free! These can be disabled in the advanced settings of the app. To turn off ads and offers, open Options > Preferences > Advanced. Here you'll find a large list of flags for the app and a filter box. Search for and disable the following flags: offers.left_rail_offer_enabled/left_rail_offer gui.show_plus_upsell offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled/sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled bt.enable_pulse gui.show_notorrents_node offers.content_offer_autoexec Disabling these options should make your life as a torrent user a whole lot more easier !
