Way back in the month of May, there were reports that the prices for data bundles and calls will be increased if Section 24 of cybercrime 2015 Act is implemented.

Now, the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) is  preparing a data price list which will be released soon, as confirmed by the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta.

If the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act 2015 are eventually implemented, it won't be funny at all because we'll be paying upto 4 times more than what we're paying now for monthly data.

We’ll likely be getting 250MB for N1000 with 30 days validity and 10MB data plan at N100 to last you for a day, while calls may be charged at 1naira/sec.

The new price may not correspond exactly with the one stated above, but what is sure is that it'll increase and you shouldn't expect anything cheaper than what you're currently paying for data.

We've seen so many weird steps the government in some African countries use to regulate internet usage; like the Ugandans who pay tax of 200 shillings daily just to access social media , and many other crazy stuffs like that.

It seems Nigeria is also heading to that direction, and despite the recent complaints by subscribers that data bundles are expensive, the NCC wants to add salt to the wound by further increasing it. Professor Danbatta made the disclosure on Thursday during his induction as a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Engineering (NAE).

Do you think this can work in Nigeria?? As for me, I'll air out if it is been implemented. 

3 great tricks for Youtube that you may not know

Youtube is one of the most used and graded video platforms in the world, for this reason we give you 3 excellent tips that you may not know about the platform.

YouTube is the largest video platform in the world, and is considered the second largest social network today, just behind Facebook, and is the second largest search engine, only behind the Google search engine.

Today we use YouTube for many things, some just for entertainment, and for others it is even a major source of revenue for advertising.

However, there are a good amount of tools and tricks that we can take advantage of on YouTube, but that many do not occupy, for this reason we have compiled the 3 best tricks that we can take advantage of in this platform.

1. Convert any video into a GIF

GIFs have become very popular today, and we use them to express various ideas without the need to fill in the words. 

It is true that there are libraries full of these images in motion, but if you want to create a GIF directly from a YouTube video, then follow these simple steps:

× Open in the YouTube browser.
× Select the video from where you want to take GIF.

× In the Address bar place the word "gif" after the www. And before the word "YouTube". Here is an example: Https://www.gifyoutube.com/ 

At that moment you will enter a Web to create GIF.

On the left side you will be able to see different editing tools, and you will be able to easily select the start and end time of your GIF.

It is important to mention that to access certain options you must pay, but to create the GIF and insertion code in social networks or websites is free.

2. Start playing a video from a given time

Have you ever encountered a very funny moment in a YouTube video?

Surely yes, and it is also almost a fact that you wanted to share with your friends on social networks or your favorite group of WHATSAPP, but you found the problem you should tell them at what exact time the video should begin to see it.

To not go through this again, you can choose from what moment you start playing a video on YouTube at the time of sharing, and here we tell you two ways to do it:

First Option:
× Play the video and Paúsalo the moment you want it to start.

× Right-click the mouse or touchpad on the video and select the copy the URL of the video option from the current minute.

× Share it with your friends wherever you want, and when you play it, it will start just the moment you selected.

Second option:

× Play the video you want to share.
Press the "Share" button.

× At the bottom is an option that says "start at", activate and write the moment you want to start the video.

3. Download the full audio or video without installing programs or apps

All have wanted to download music from YouTube, or even download a full video for a job or editing, and the truth is that it is possible to easily download a video or audio, but it is advisable to do it only for academic reasons, because remember that Many videos have copyright.

To download a video or audio follow these simple steps:

× Enter the video you want to download.

× The address bar removes the letters "ube" from the word "Youtube". Example: Https://www.yout.com/ 

It will link you to a Web site similar to the one that works to make GIF, but here you can download the video or audio with the quality you want.

CONCLUSION

These are some of the features which we suggest you would be glad to know, moreover, if you think you have some other great tips that might help YouTubers to maximise their experience, kindly do well to drop via comment.

Recently, we heard rumor that Instagram is keen on increasing the video length on its platform to 60 minutes with monetization options, and yes! It is absolutely true.

The popular video/photo sharing platform has announced a new feature—after hitting 1 billion monthly active users—called Instagram television (IGTV).

The Facebook-owned company is set to rival YouTube with this latest addition, as anyone will be able to upload videos for Instagram’s new IGTV section, which will be displayed vertically in full-screen, the way a phone is normally held.

Instagram Television

Instagram Television will display contents from users who you already follow on their account, and you can have both the regular Instagram app and Instagram Television installed on your device. 

IGTV comes as a seperate mobile application on iOS and Android, where videos will start playing automatically when the app opens.

IGTV Features

The most interesting part is that you can upload or watch videos up to an hour long on Instagram TV, as video length on IGTV has been increased from 60 seconds to 60 minutes.

You can also swipe up to discover more content creators, switch between “For You,” “Following,” “Popular” and “Continue Watching” all on the same screen. In addition, there is a like, comment and share button that let's you send videos to friends in Direct.

How to Create and Watch Instagram Television Channels

Just like normal Television has channels, in IGTV, the creators are the channels. When you follow a creator on Instagram, their IGTV channel will show up for you to watch. Anyone can be a creator simply by uploading your own IGTV videos in the app or web platform to start your own channel.

IGTV Content, Adverts and Monetization

As of the time of this writing, all contents on the IGTV app are free and with no advertisement.

But according to Instagram, users will be able to monetize their videos—in the future—if it gets popular and trending.

Where can I Download IGtv?

× Download Instagram Television for Android via Google Play Store

× Download Instagram Television for iOS via App Store

Instagram TV has started rolling out, and the app is available for download on Android and iOS devices via Google Play Store and Apple App Store respectively.

Sending and receiving money has always been problematic in the past but now, the table has turned. 

PayPal has appeared as a miracle and an easy way out for sending and receiving money. 

Transferring money has never been this easy! Sending money anywhere on the globe is now just one-click away. 

Do you want to know the amazing features of PayPal? Here we are going to enlighten you with the seven (7) smartest features of PayPal that can make you a fan of this amazing thing and make your life way easier and stress-free.

1. Deals in a number of currencies

Stressed about the currency because you need to send money to another country? There is nothing to worry about because PayPal deals in more than 25 currencies and all the currencies are those that are being widely used in the world.

 It also increases the customer rate because most of the people prefer paying in their local currencies and they can do it with complete ease using this platform.

Another amazing feature is that it accepts credit cards and debit cards that are being used globally. 

Therefore, with the help of PayPal a person can deal anywhere from any part of the world without worrying about the different currency.

2. Security is a Priority

When it comes to money we all naturally become more conscious as it is a delicate method and needs to be handled with care. 

PayPal ensures the security of your amount as well as personal data.

All your account information, bank detail, debit card details are kept highly confidential by PayPal and extreme security is ensured in order to provide a safe and better customer service. 

This is a huge achievement on their part.

3. Merchants’ life made easy

PayPal is mostly preferred by merchants because it allows them to trade freely all around the globe and they don’t have to worry about payment. PayPal gives them freedom from the tension of different currency, security, transactions, and a lot more.

It helps a lot to those people who have an online business, therefore, businesses and especially dealers prefer to use PayPal. 

It has taken online and worldwide business to a whole new level. And also, it is way more convenient to send money through PayPal as compared to any other medium. 

This is another plus point that makes merchants go crazy about it.

4. Students accounts

PayPal does not only benefit the businesses but it also benefits the young generation mainly the students. 

It all started in 2009 when PayPal introduced the teenage students’ accounts and today, it has reached to this level where students can have their own debit cards issued via MasterCard and they are able to use it anywhere in the world at any time tension free with their own information. 

PayPal has made these students way more self-dependent and has made money transactions easier for them.

5. Late Payments

Want to buy something but don’t have enough money? No need to worry because PayPal’s “Bill me later” service allows you to purchase anything whenever you want and you can pay for it later when you have enough finance. 

This feature also helps out both buyers and sellers. Buyers can easily get their material even if they don’t have sufficient funds and sellers can increase their customer rate through this facility. 

This means that PayPal provides a win-win situation for both parties with this amazing feature of “Bill me later”.

6. Facility of More than Eight Emails.

Another amazing quality of PayPal is that it gives you an opportunity to use eight Email IDs on one account which benefits you in a number of ways. 

On the very first level, it saves you from hackers who can harm you.

Even if the Hacker gets access to one account you will have seven more accounts keeping you on the safe side. It also provides you with flexibility in your payments.

7. Worldwide Approach.

A great thing about PayPal is that it is used and recognized by 170 countries of the world and it accepts and follows the terms and conditions of all of these countries respectively. 

This widely spread network of PayPal can provide uncountable benefits to its users. 

CONCLUSION

So, these were some of the smartest and amazing features of PayPal. 

It caters to all your major concerns and never disappoints you, therefore, is highly recommended.

We wish you best of luck as you move ahead with PayPal.

By now you ought to know that  almost every service you use on the web that involves a username and password is in some ways collecting information about you. 

In some cases, that info might just be your email and a few identifying data points like your age or gender. In others, (cough :: Facebook) you’re handing over information about your likes and dislikes, who your friends are, and even where you go during the day.

The site My Data Request has read through the privacy policies at over 100 different companies and offers a quick and easy way for you to figure out what data is being collected about you where and how you can download that data if you want to know specifically what information a particular company has.

Some of the companies included on the site are Facebook, Tinder, Uber, Twitter, YouTube, Venmo, Waze, Evernote, Spotify, Coinbase, Postmates, Chase and even Angry Birds.

For many on the list, you probably have a decent idea of what info they might have about you. For others that answer might be a bit more unclear.

To use the site you can search for a particular app or website you use, or browse through the options they display. When you click on one, a window will pop up with a quick link to the company’s Privacy Policy as well as a link you can click on to download your data from that company.

It’s not going to prevent those companies from continuing to collect and store info on you, but it can be a quick and easy way to check in on what info you’re putting out there.

Kindly check the above link to check how far you've shared your privacy with social media so as to enable you control it.

You're about to sit down with your laptop , but as soon as you open the lid, you're instructed to plug in for power, as you only have about 5 per cent battery left.

Sigh.

Now you need to get the AC plug, find an outlet, and plan on being tethered to the wall for a while.

Energy management has plagued
portable computing since its inception, but thanks to more powerful batteries, newer processors, and smarter software,
it's getting better all the time.

You can help, too. The following are a few tips for squeezing more juice out of your laptop.

1. Mind your apps

Your battery will last longer if you
use your laptop for basic, low-power tasks — like word processing, web browsing and emailing — than it will for system resource-hungry applications like online gaming and video playback. 

In other words, if you're on a long flight (without an AC outlet near you) and you need to get some work done, you might want to put off that Fortnite game or Netflix binge until after you've used your computer for work; or there might not be much power left.

2. Disable radios, unplug accessories Unless you need Wi-Fi or other wireless

radios, such as Bluetooth, go into
Airplane Mode, which turns off all
embedded radios. This stops your
computer from looking for other devices to join.

Try to reduce the number of accessories plugged into the laptop that can be draining its power, such as an external hard drive. 

Connected peripherals can be a factor in eating away at its battery life. Try using the touchpad instead of using an external mouse if your battery is waning.

3. Dim the screen

Turn down the brightness of your laptop a great deal as it will help preserve battery life. This can usually be found on your laptop's secondary keyboard commands, such as icons that look like little suns. If you're shopping for a new
laptop, keep in mind the bigger the
laptop screen, the faster the battery
drain, generally speaking.

4. Tweak power settings

Windows users can also click on Power and Sleep Settings, to manually reduce the power consumption of your laptop.

You may opt for your screen to go dark when not in use for, say, two minutes, but will turn on instantly again when a key is touched. 

Windows 10 also has a toggle button that enables Battery Saver mode, to limit background activity such as push email, calendar syncing, live tile updates, and more.

Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra offer additional power and sleep settings to customise your experience.

5. Ditch the disc

If your laptop still takes optical media, such as a CD-ROM or DVD, be aware the battery will drain faster if there's a spinning disc in the drive. Instead, be sure to choose to first install or copy media to the computer itself if it's an option — such as a game, movie, or album — and put the disc away at home.

6. Go with solid-state drives

For your next PC or Mac, go with one that has a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a hard disc drive (HDD), as it's less taxing on the battery (as there are no moving parts). Plus, an SSD is smaller, lighter, faster, and more durable than a HDD.

 The one downside is they don't typically hold as many files as a hard drive (say, 256GB opposed to 2-
terabytes). Some laptops have a
combination of SSD and HDD, which are used for different tasks.

7. Buy better

When you're ready to upgrade your
laptop, be sure to invest in a good CPU — such as Intel's 8th Gen Core processors — as these chips aren't just for fast performance and smooth multitasking, but also ideal for extending battery life considerably.

Also, if when shopping you have a choice in configuration, consider a more powerful battery, such as opting for a 12-cell battery instead of a 6-cell battery, or a higher WHr (watt-hour) number, such as 62 over 43.

To Summarise it,

The last thing you need when you're trying to get work done is to put things on hold and go find an outlet. 

Follow the above steps to play on the safer side.

Twitter has announced to reinstate those accounts that were locked down due to age restriction after the new European Union (EU) privacy law came into force on May 25.

In a series of tweets, the micro-blogging platform said on Wednesday that it did not expect the lockdown to happen as some users who opened their accounts when they were 13 are now old enough to use the platform.

Accounts created by those under 13, were frozen owing to the General Data Protection Law (GDPR) which stipulates that the age of consent for using online services should not be lower than 13.

"We recently made product changes tied to new privacy laws (GDPR) and became aware of accounts that were set up by people when they were younger than 13. We didn't expect this," Twitter Support said in a tweet.

"These accounts were automatically locked, and we created additional confusion by sending messages to people saying that they're still under 13 (when many are now older) and need to close their accounts," it added.

Twitter said its rules don't allow anyone under 13 to tweet or create a Twitter account so it is working on a technical solution to delete those Tweets and allow the impacted account holders to continue on Twitter.

"In the meantime, we're reaching out to people impacted with options to unlock their account and continue to use Twitter.

Instructions from us will come during the coming week," the micro-blogging platform said, apologising for the confusion and the inconvenience caused to those who were affected.
