You've been charging your phone wrong! And here's why

How often do we complain our phone won’t survive until evening? As a matter of fact, it is completely our fault.

According to scientists, a battery has its own level of ‘stress’. Just like people, li-ions react to constant stress by reducing lifetime. So if you want your phone to live long, you need to reconsider your ‘charging’ views.

When your smartphone is fully charged, unplug it

It’s bad to keep your phone plugged when it’s fully charged, we usually do that at night. When the phone gets 100%, and… it keeps getting impulses. So your battery is in stress.

It’s better not to charge it to 100%

Your battery does not need to reach 100% when charging, in fact, it’s not desirable. Because at the end your phone charges under high voltage, that harms your battery

Your battery will last longer if you charge your phone a little few times a day.

It’s best when you charge your phone when it loses 10%, however, you can not control this all day long, it’s not possible, but just plug it whenever required.

Charging like this will make your battery last longer, and you’ll have a fully charged phone whenever you need.

Keep your phone cool

Heat influence your phone battery. If your phone appeared to be under straight sun rays, you should cover it to protect your phone’s battery.

How To Disable Automatic Updates On Windows 10 PC

One common feature of Windows 10 is that it has automatic updates turned on. In a way, this is a good thing, as you’re getting the latest features and updates. But in this part of the world, most people can’t afford to leave the updates turned on.

In previous versions of Windows, it was easy to turn this off in the Control Panel, but today, the feature is hidden beyond easy reach. Let me show you how to turn off Automatic Updates on a Windows 10 machine.

1.) Search for services.msc in Cortana/Search box and open it by pressing ENTER.

2.) Scroll down the list and find Windows Update and Double Click it.

3.) On the General tab, go to Startup type and select ‘Disabled’.

4) Click Apply and Ok.

From henceforth, you won’t be bugged with any Windows 10 Update. You can revert it easily by following the same steps, but instead of ‘Disabled’, select‘Automatic’in the Windows Update Properties window and apply it. Now you can save your data for other purposes. Cheers

‘It Hurts Me To See Him Cry’: Cristiano Ronaldo Lament's Leo Messi’s Retirement From Argentina

Cristiano Ronaldo has offered Leo Messi a shoulder to cry on, and has expressed his wish to see the Barcelona man back in an Argentina shirt some time in the near future.

Messi shockingly announced his retirement from International football after missing a penalty in the shoot out loss to Chile in the Copa America.

His rival Ronaldo says Messi needs to be back in the Argentina shirt’

‘Messi has taken a decision and people have to understand him. He’s not used to defeats and disappointments, or even finishing second.’ Ronaldo said to Mundo Deportivo.

‘Missing a penalty doesn’t make you a bad player. It hurts me to see Messi crying and I hope he comes back to the national team.’

Google Will Now Show Us lyrics In Search Results

It is said that a master of all is a master of none. But then Google is proving us wrong big time. Goggle is “digitally ubiquitous” as there is barely any where online where Google doesn’t boast some hectares. From the small slender okra plant of a sulking search engine, Google has spontaneously grown into one big iroko with height sprawling through Android, YouTube etc.

And now Google us bringing in another one. Google will now show lyrics in Google search results. This is the fruitful product of a partnership with LyricFind. So now, song texts will equally be presented on Google Play Music. This is not restricted to users reading but also as a component of general music discovery.

As a constituent of this sprouting development, songwriters as well as rights holders will now earn royalties on the ground of view counts. Lyric Find on its own boasts lyrics from over 4,000 publishers, this runs across Warner, UMG, Sony, and more.

Most certainly a good number of lyric sites are going to bleed as visits will be pushed down but then others offer added value – example is the annotations we get at Genius, which are usually made up by users, but Eminem has made a reputation of adding notes on his lyrics.

This is a pretty move although Bing has already been on stage as regards displaying lyrics by LyricFind.
