RE: Can we earn in TikTok?

Asked on July 15, 2020 in Mobile.

While TikTok is not built specifically around monetization and providing income streams to creators, the app is very commercial-friendly, and it is possible to earn a good living by creatively using the platform. TikTok does not offer creators monetization of their videos in this platform.

RE: Does refreshing desktop do anything

Asked on May 17, 2020 in Computer.

Does it make your Windows faster? Or maybe you think it will clear your computer’s memory or refresh the RAM…? Actually it is none of these!

What does Refresh Desktop or Folder do
The Desktop is nothing but a folder in the Windows operating system. It is programmed to auto-refresh when its contents change. When the contents of the folder changes, it will auto-refresh. But at times, you may find that thedesktop or folder does not auto-refresh.
You may then need to refresh your desktop manually in the following circumstances:

The desktop does not display the files or folders you just created, moved, deleted, renamed or saved on it
You need to re-align your desktop icons
You find that you cannot use the desktop icons.
Files that were created to the desktop by some 3rd-party application do not appear
And such similar situations where the contents of the desktop or the folder do not change when expected to.

In such a case, when you press F5 or right-click on your Windows desktop and select Refresh, the situation will be corrected. Manually refreshing the desktop or folder may re-order its contents as, folders first, then files, in an alphabetical order.
But if you constantly need to use the Refresh option frequently, to refresh your desktop or explorer windows, you may want to see this fix – Desktop does not refresh automatically in Windows 7.
Why do some people Refresh desktop constantly?
You may have noticed that some people just refresh their desktops frequently for the sake of refreshing it. It has become almost like a compulsive disorder, to refresh the desktop constantly. You may have noticed this habit especially among some Computer Engineers and Technicians who are obsessed with using the Refresh option – almost in a state of frenzy.
What is the reason for this? There is no need or reason to do this. It is just a silly habit, they simply need to break.
Or maybe you too are one of them … if so do try and break this habit!

RE: Is there any good application/website or software for making karaoke versions of a song?

Asked on April 17, 2020 in Music.

1. Import the track to a audio program (like Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic ect)
2. Duplicate your track (you will need this for pt. 4)
3. Substract the left side of your original track from your right side:

(In Cubase: Right click on the track and chose “Stereo Flip” and then “Subtract”) Im sure its some similar ways in other similar programs.

Explanation:
So far you have substracted your stereo file. In other words you removed everything thats 100% equally panned to the left and the right side. In most productions you will find vocals, bass and kick in the center. This means you also removed some stuff that you did not intend to remove. Therefore, continue:

4. Use your duplicated version of the original track and put a high cut on the track to keep only the information below the vocals frequency range (this range will vary but you will easily hear when the vocal starts to disappear)

An example of how this could look:

This will leave you with some of the information from the bass and the kick. However you lost some as well.

This method is not perfect as you will both loose some stuff that you would want to keep, and you will keep some details from the vocals (ie. reverberation and all vocals thats panned differently). However, this is probably as close as you will get without getting the instrumental from the artist himself.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

RE: Which Linux distribution should I try on my desktop?

Asked on March 30, 2020 in Computer.

Since you said it is for Desktop, lets throw Redhat and Centos away from this list.

If you want to just use linux for your day to day operations with fancy desktop environment, cool visuals, less installation time, dont (want to) know how to compile things and need everything works out of the box, then go for “Ubuntu” or “Fedora”

If you really want to know “How Linux Works” in the first place, need a faster system even with lower system resouces, ready to invest time in hand picking the packages you like and have a highly customized system, then your best bet is “Gentoo”.

By the time you finish installing Gentoo with necessary packages, you would have already become an expert and start to hate the other OS’s especially Windows. 😉

Not to scare you, but Gentoo usually takes 3 days to a week to complete the full setup, be prepared and buy an additional coffee mug 😉

RE: Which is the best online money earning app?

Asked on March 28, 2020 in Freelancing.

Best Money Making Apps of 2020

Here are the top 10 Money Earning Apps

1. Ebates

Ebates is one of my favorite money-earning apps because you get cash back for things you’re going to buy anyway, as long as you do it through their app. How? Stores pay Ebates a commission for sending customers to their store. Ebates splits that commission with you, so you both win.

I’ve made over $500 from shopping online through Ebates and referring friends.

When I know I want to purchase something and I don’t need it right away, I buy it online (if shipping is free) to take advantage of my Ebates perks.

I have a nice check of $265 on the way! This money-making app is available for androids and IOS

If you use my link to sign up you get $10 when you spend at least $25 online.

2. Dosh

Dosh is a must-have cash back app, I absolutely LOVE it. It’s all “passive income” and all you need to do is link your credit/debit card and it will automatically give you cash back when you shop, eat, travel, and more at participating local and national merchants.

I forgot I had this app, and I was out to dinner with my husband for our anniversary and received this email after we paid below

and this keeps happening when I use my credit card at participating merchants!

I’ve made $75 with this app from using my card at participating stores and referring friends.

3. Ibotta

Ibotta is another app that allows you to get cashback for items you buy anyway. I LOVE this app.

Here’s How It Works:

Download the Ibotta App and before you shop, add offers on products you normally purchase anyway.
Buy the products you selected at any participating store. Don’t forget your receipt!
Redeem your offers by taking a photo of your receipt. Ibotta will match the items you bought to the offers you selected and give you the cash!

Your cashback will be deposited into your Ibotta account within 48 hours.

I’ve made $105.53 so far from a combination of shopping and referring friends. If you tell your friends to sign up they get $10 and you get $5!

4. Acorns

Acorns is a neat money earning app to get you to start micro-investing. It rounds up your purchases to the nearest dollar and invests the difference on your behalf.

For example, if you buy a coffee for $1.75, Acorns will round it up to $2.00 and automatically invest $.25 in “smart portfolios”.

You can link as many credit or debit cards as you like and put your “change” to work for you in a low-cost ETF.

I recently downloaded this app and made over $50 without even noticing. There are no fees associated with withdrawing, just keep in mind that it may be more of a tax implication for the following year.

You get $5 when you sign-up with my Acorns link

5. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is a money earning app that will pay you to take surveys, watch videos, search the web, refer friends and test products. This app won’t make you rich but it’s an easy way to make some extra money.

I’ve recently downloaded this app and I’m at 477 SB (SwagBucks). If you sign up with my link you’ll already beat me with the $5 sign-up bonus. I could get a $5 Amazon Gift card (1 SB = 1 cent) with this amount but I plan on doing the things mentioned above which will help me earn $50-$100 a month.

If you want to make more money with surveys check out Survey Junkie and PrizeRebel, these are the only survey sites I recommend.
