Utilities!

Windows 10 launched way back in 2015. It was mostly a refined version of Windows 8.1. It featured a new start screen, new apps, and a brand new STORE! Yes, a new store. First called Windows Store, the store has now been rebranded to Microsoft Store.
The store first launched with only universal apps. With time the store has now evolved to a place where you would actually go searching for apps and games.
The store now includes win32 apps and one of those apps is a little utility called Ear Trumpet.
I like to play online games (DOTA 2), as it allows me to play with my friends. We use Skype of all the communications apps to talk in game. So here lies the problem. I listen to music, play the game and talk with my friends all at once!
Windows 10 as you know lacks any way to tweak the volume of each application. Enter Ear Trumpet. It allows me to tweak the volume of my music, Skype, and the game right from the taskbar!
Trust me it might seem trivial, but Ear Trumpet is a life saver.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...

Pocket

Pocket Nowadays everyone has more than one computing device. Be it your desktop, laptop, smartphone, 2-1 PC or a tablet, everyone of use at least uses a couple of this devices together in tandem. And everyone needs a good browser to surf the internet ! this leads to a problem. A problem which pocket solves in the most simplistic of ways. I for one use Firefox on my pc and chrome on my phone. As a result it makes it really difficult for me keep a track of my bookmarks ! I mean did save that article on my pc or phone ? Pocket solves that problem by creating extension for popular browsers like Firefox and chrome, in fact it is a built in feature in Firefox ! It simply adds a button called save to pocket( ), by just clicking that button the page which you are currently on will be bookmarked and saved to pocket. Which can then viewed from any device that has the pocket app and is logged in with your pocket account.
