This is because people who have your phone number saved on their devices can easily find you on Instagram, even without knowing your username or any other details about you on the platform. And yes, you can be found even if your phone number isn’t displayed on your (public) profile or if your account is set to private. Instagram is pretty clear about this in its privacy policy; that profile information you provide (phone number including) allows it to help you be found on the platform....

Using a traditional method, rooting requires a bunch of steps and plenty of know-how, but this isn’t always the case. Many devices can actually be rooted with “One-click” universal rooting applications. There are many different types of universal rooting programs out there, and even though they really are more than just one click in reality – they are still really easy to use.

backup solution while for others it is their data carriage. Well, for me the service is more of a synchronization key across all my devices. I really hate that flash drive and memory card transfer thing. So, for any such movement I use the virtual devices (cloud storage) and you all know how it works. However, there is one backdrop in the fact that all files and folders connected to the service get synced across all connected devices....

Though there is an option to change the location of the downloaded files, usually it requires you to manually choose the location each time you download something. Bummer alert! Thankfully, all is not over yet. A Chrome extension named Save In… (aptly named, right?) lets you segregate the downloaded files into neat little folders as per the file type. Download Save In… This little extension adds a context menu which eases the process of saving your files, all from the comforts of your browser....

If you need to open that file with another app though, you can right-click on the file, choose Open With and then choose another app from the available ones in the list. But what if you want to have not just that one, but all other files of the same format to be opened with an application other than the default one? Here are two different methods you can use to achieve this:...

If you work with a lot of images on your PC, the chances are that you work with a program like XnView. It’s one of the best free media management software out there, and it goes a long way in simplifying how you view images on Windows 10. On the contrary, the Windows 10 Photos app is quite basic and doesn’t offer much in terms of functionality. So, it’s quite apparent that you would want all your images to open with XnView by default....

However, keep in mind that you’d require administrator access to change settings....

Retina doubled the screen resolution. But that doesn’t mean you see two times as much stuff on screen. While the resolution on my 13 inch MacBook is 2560×1600, OS X is still rendering at 1280×800. But when you take a screenshot, Mac defaults to the screen’s resolution. And let me say, on anything other than a Retina display, that screenshot just doesn’t look good. If you’re taking a screenshot to share it with your colleagues or for uploading to a website, you might want to go back to the low res 1x....
