A solid credit score is important for so many aspects of modern living. From purchasing cars to qualifying for an apartment, a high credit score gives you a distinct advantage that can make your life easier. A low score, on the other hand, means certain purchases and events will cost you more money in the long run.
The era of disposable cameras has long since ended, which was definitely a win for both picture quality and the environment. Though, there’s still plenty of nostalgia to go around when it comes to these relics of the past. Today, there’s a fun little application that attempts to recreate the whole disposable camera picture-taking experience.
We all have file-size problems. Our cameras now take fabulous photos and crisp videos. Our computers can tackle monstrous spreadsheets. But all of that comes with a drawback: really huge files. So what do you do when you want to send that pile of digital photos to grandma, but the file is too big to attach to an email? In this tip, I’m sharing five ways to handle it.
Twitter occupies a strange place in the constellation of social media sites. On one hand, it’s not even the biggest platform you can use — that dubious honor goes to Facebook. On the other, it’s home to some of the most important public figures on the planet, such as industry leaders, celebrities and even the President of the United States himself.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that most tech isn’t built to last. The latest, greatest model of computer you can buy is typically outdated and tawdry in less than a decade, and the process is even faster with smartphones.

Unfortunately, those days are over and it couldn’t be worse timing. That’s because the latest and greatest smartphones can easily cost you over $1,000. Shelling out that kind of dough seems outrageous, especially if you only keep the gadget a short while before upgrading yet again. Which, believe me, happens a lot.
From your imagination to browsing Amazon to the actual setup, there’s a lot that can get lost in translation when it comes to your home office. It’s easy to forget an accessory or two or not plan for enough space where you need it, but that’s no longer a worry when you can design your perfect setup online!
Apple’s iPhones are powerful portable devices, but there can be some limitations. Processing power, storage, and the amount of data on your cellphone plan can all make you think twice about how you’re using your phone, especially if you have an older device. This is where the lighter version of an app can help you out.
It should go without saying that products claiming to be “miracle cures” are usually anything but, especially during this pandemic. Were it so easy to fix a range of health conditions like cancer, HIV or COVID-19 with a simple tonic or pill, doctors wouldn’t be making the kind of money they do, would they?
