Today, there's a mandatory state wide environmental sanitation in Lagos so I didn't go to the market. I'm glad I got to rest today, however, what bothered me is that I spent the entire free time thinking about what to actually do with my “free time". I thought about what my hobbies are, who I like being around and the places I like to go to. The answers were not immediately obvious because I do…
My boss at work, who isn't constrained by budget, wants to get a Bluetooth Speaker and somehow I managed to convince him to let me recommend and get one for him. I recommended the JBL Charge 6 since it is the only one in the Charge series that ships with a strap. However, after my experience testing it, lo and behold, it sounded like an absolute dogshit. JBLs are known for powerful, clear sound…
If you use a Tecno POP 10, a Redmi 14C or any low budget Chinese Android OEM, you're likely to see ads at very odd places including the Files Manager app and the application package installation screen. HiOS, Tecno's custom Android skin, displays ads on your application menu and on the screen of an ongoing call. Here's a simple step by step guide to turn off all ads across apps, games and…
Tecno phones have improved drastically. They're faster and can handle most resource demanding applications or tasks for most of us regular people without any lag. I daliy-drive the Tecno Pop 10, a sleek, beautiful and light-weight phone running Android 15(Go edition) with a battery that lasts the entire day. its packed with a very good screen that projects colours and text clearly along with…
As humans, there're a few naturally occurring discomforts beyond our control that what we're only able to do is complain. There's nothing you could do to stop a heavy rain, a woman's breasts from falling or a Nigerian celebrity from flexing their wealth when you correct their mistakes. It's very easy to complain about situations. That's why most people do it for some shared solace, even if the…
I have test driven every AI app downloadable from Google's PlayStore. My current stack is Grok because it's trained every hour with real-time data as they're published across the world wide web. I used to like LeChat, an AI assistant developed by Mistral. It has an impressive UI amongst all LLMs, but its training and knowledge were last updated in November 2024, and lacks access to search the…
After many months of stopping and giving up multiple times, I have finally completed a Product Management course on Udemy. I enrolled for the Become a Product Manager course by Cole Mercer and Evan Kimbrell and got a certification on 24th February 2025. The total course video is thirteen hours long with eighteen sessions but I took one session per day to read further on each topic discussed. This…
This is the third and final update about my efforts to completely switch to ZorinOS. In the last update , I wrote that I adopted my younger brother’s old laptop and installed ZorinOS on it. However, I couldn’t continue to use it because some keys on the keyboard didn’t work, which my brother confirmed was an issue he forgot to tell me about. Anyway, colour me excited because I have switched to…
I knew I would switch to a Linux-based operating system but I didn’t think it'd be this fast since I only published the Switching to Linux article last month. My younger brother studies Urban & Regional Planning at the university. He has gotten to the year where he needs to learn how to use technical drawing software, however, his current machine freezes when he loads AutoCAD or any Adobe…
For my type of user, the average writer and non-programmer, Windows and MacOS operating systems work just fine since most of the apps I use are web-based and used through a browser. However, I intend to switch to a Linux-based operating system. I already run a version of Ubuntu via a virtual machine on my Macbook and soon, not far from today, I will switch to a PC with Linux installed bare metal.…
