One of the topics that is close to my heart on this blog is sharing tips. Indeed, many of us often have the same problems or ask ourselves the same questions and suddenly, when the solution presents itself, it is a real pleasure to be able to share it with the whole community.
So I've taken a quick look back at 8 tips from 2018 that will still be very useful to you in 2019 (and beyond...)!
Read a WhatsApp message without the sender knowing!
I have been using WhatsApp for several years and this instant messaging application has gradually replaced text messages on my phone. The reason for this change is simple: the existence of a read receipt that lets you know if your interlocutor(s) have received and/or read your message…
In fact, WhatsApp has visual indicators that allow you to know the status of your message at any time:
How to type the degree symbol (°) on an iPhone?
I've had an iPhone for over 10 years now... yet one small, insignificant thing has been bugging me for a long time, until this recent day when I stumbled upon it by chance: how to type the degree symbol on an iphone...
Not that I use the notion of angle regularly (180°) but I often talk about temperature in text messages (what crappy weather, it's still 3°). So without the degree sign it immediately makes less sense…
How to Download All Your Instagram Photos
The latest scandals that have shaken the Facebook sphere in recent weeks are causing changes in the behavior of the social networking giant. Coincidence or reaction, it is difficult to say, but the fact remains that Facebook, owner of Instagram, now offers the ability to download all your photos posted on the social network dedicated to publishing photos.
Easily get compensation for flight delays or cancellations
The question of compensation in the event of disruption to your journey sometimes arises. I had already introduced you to Misterfox to recover your compensation from the SNCF, here is YesReward, which will do the work for airlines.
Delete your old tweets, likes and private messages with just one click!
Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit, it will take you a little more than one click to clean up your Twitter account, but if you want to wipe the slate clean, I came across a tool that you should like and that is very easy to use.
Twitter File Eraser is a small free and open source software that will allow you to scan your Twitter account (by recovering an archive of the latter) in order to list all your tweets, all your “Likes” and even all your direct messages (DM) to delete them one by one or in bulk.
How to remove a URL from Google Chrome autofill suggestions?
Like many people, I use Chrome's autocomplete feature every day to save time. Start typing the first few letters of a URL in the address bar, and Chrome will give you a list of suggestions that match your input. The more letters you type, the more refined Chrome's suggestions become.
Steam: How to get more relevant alerts about game price drops
Steam's wishlist is handy, but it's not always useful. It lets you keep track of games you're interested in and might want to buy, and it lets you get alerts whenever a game on the list goes on sale. But those alerts are always triggered even for price drops that are small... or at least not likely to convince you to buy the game in question.
Well, know that there is a site that will allow you to manage this in a slightly more precise way!
How to get a refund for an app purchased on the App Store?
I download apps from the App Store for my iPhone or iPad very regularly. Most of the time, they are free (curse freemium model) but sometimes they are paid.
When I choose an app, and especially if it's paid, I rely a lot on the reviews available on the App Store. This usually allows you to avoid real crap. But when there are no reviews... I give it a try. And sometimes it's really carnage. When it comes to games, in particular, I refuse to buy a game that then offers invasive paid in-app content. So, for some time now, I've gotten into the habit of asking Apple to refund me when I'm not satisfied with an app or game. And it feels good!
