Advantage of online Time-machine backups in MAC

Advantage of online Time-machine backups in MAC
The MAC operating system has been the most reliable and ease-of-use operating system for most users, as their settings are simpler and help users to get their work done with simple tasks. However, there was one area where MAC operating system should really improve their capabilities and bring-in their expertise to enable users to backup their laptop through Online. With rise in online cloud storage service providers, most users do not mind spending less money for backing up their important data in cloud. In addition, I wanted to detail few pointers on how online time-machine backup functionality in MAC help users: 
  • Dongle & wire-free: Rather than depending on dongles and wires, users can restore their important files on-the-go through cloud back-ups and immensely helps users traveling frequently during their work-routine. 
  • Reduce dependency on physical hard drive's: By enabling online backup to cloud, it enables users to reduce their dependency on their physical hard drives, lower additional weight, or luggage during travel and accidental damages.
Hope Apple addresses the above concerns and enables online or cloud time-machine backup solution in their operating system. Read more such articles at "G R Team Sites"

Replacing broken Mobile Phone screen with duplicate copy and its regrets

Replacing broken Mobile Phone screen with duplicate copy and its regrets

Short recap: 
My wife's mobile screen was broken shortly before the COVID lockdown restrictions and with limited options available, I went to local mobile shop for mobile screen replacement. However, the mobile shop technician had offered cheap mobile screen replacement and had given heads-up that touch sensor would not work due to duplicate screen. With no other options available, I had to agree with the replacement of cracked mobile screen with the duplicate screen and had to let go off the fingerprint scanner.

Impact of screen replacement:
Soon after the screen replacement, I was able to notice the difference between original screen and the replaced duplicate screen, the screen was flickering more than usual and at times the screen would get locked without any action. This was continuing for a while and my wife had to live with this issue, since she had broken the screen due to accidental drop. Few weeks with the duplicate screen, this time my kid dropped the phone and again the screen was broken, and the onus was left on me to lookout for further practical options available. 

Future course of action 
With my wife’s mobile phone screen broken again for second consecutive time and lost trust with duplicate screen options available, I had to either replace entire mobile Phone or check pricing for original screen replacement. To know further about my decision about mobile phone screen replacement, please feel free to check out the articles published in G R Team sites.

iPadOS new feature suggestion - Kids user mode

With the new normal and COVID situation, the kids spend most time on electronic device and to avoid damaging their eyesight, I have made my kid to use iPad for online classes and games. However, while my kid was using iPad for daily activities, I felt disappointed while doing the following 
  • Pre-defined brightness levels and lock unnecessary apps: In current iPadOS, when my kid opens the iPad, at once after few minutes the brightness level is increased to the fullest and there is no possibility to lock the brightness levels. Additionally, when my kid opens the iPad, all applications are available to explore and there is no choice to restrict the viewing of kids-only applications. 
  • Protection from unwanted advertisements: Additionally, when my kid was using the gaming applications or learning applications, mostly the app interface is interrupted with unnecessary and irritating advertising videos or banners. There should have been possibility to restrict advertisements in kids’ applications and limit only few advertisements in a day. 
  • In-app purchases: When kid uses gaming applications, they often tend to click buy option or they were always notified of buying added benefits for a certain price. Kids unaware of pricing factor, often requests parents to either buy those things or accidently approves purchases while playing games. There should have been possibility to restrict in-app purchases for kids and can be enabled only if parents approve those in-app visibility possibility. 
  • Restrict Kids user mode for specific time limit: When my kid was using the iPad, I was not able to set time limit for using the iPad and post that time limit, the iPad should be locked and should not open for any activities. Now, when the iPad is locked, my kid gets furious and wants the adult to enter the passcode to bypass the time limit restrictions. 
Hope, Apple brings up kids only user mode in their next iPad OS version and it would be helpful for parents, who were struggling to manage their kids with iPad. If you were looking to read more such articles, please feel free to check out the G R Team Sites.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Apple Music 

In recent times, I was completely confused about choosing which online music platform should I choose and how much should I shell out for large music catalogue and exclusive features. In this post, I wanted to detail about how Apple Music is turning out be both average and worst. Following are my opinion about Apple Music 
  • Advantages: 
    • Newly added classical songs and regional collection of songs 
    • Exclusive Dolby Atmos features on music catalogue – Yet to be rolled out for most countries 
    • Music or songs quality are slightly impressive than its competitor’s online music platform. 
  • Disadvantages: 
    • Prices are outrageously expensive and there are no bundled benefits, other than songs or music catalogue. 
    • Still much of regional collection of songs are yet to be available and no commitment on bringing the songs in future. 
The above listed opinions are based on my limited knowledge and experience in using them. I still thinking many times, whether its justifiable to subscribe to Apple Music or continue enjoying free prime benefits of Amazon music.

Enhanced must have features in smart watch devices

In the earlier post, I was detailing about few of the advantages of the wearables and its exclusive features, in continuation to that I want to detail some additional features that is forcing me to get the device. 
  • Stress monitoring: In the IT world, the stress is the most underrated topic and most undetected disease among professionals. With wearables having option to monitor stress levels and providing notifications about its extreme level is a must have device for most young professionals. 
  • Notifying user to stand up and walk: With new COVID restrictions, the work from home is here to stay and it will change people work forever. But other problem with work from home is that most professionals work for long hours and even forget to take a break from their routine. Recently launched smart watch wearables have exclusive feature for users by notifying them to take a break from their long working hours by breathing exercise and notify them to take a walk if they sit in same place for a long time. 
With above listed features, the smart watch wearables have become must have device for most people more than their mobile phones. I think this smart watch wearable industry will start to rise multiple times in upcoming years and hope people recognise its importance. For more such posts, please check our G R Team Sites.

Frustration to work with my manager 

I was assigned to work on a large opportunity with my manager, however things turned bad from first day after working on unnecessary items and not focusing on items listed by the on-site team. It did not stop there, and the things were getting worse for me as each day passed by and to keep it short, here are few highlights: 
  • No proper anticipation of work and ending up in redundant work: My manager with his idiotic ideas will produce ten different items to show off his innovative lead and his learning’s from past experiences. However, the on-site team will acknowledge it initially and later will request for plain simple tasks completed to meet client requirements. 
  • Micromanaging things ending up with additional work: My manager will give different items to work on and after an hour he will call again to check on the tasks and he will not stop. By checking on the work, he will also suggest some new additional work to be completed in brief time. 
It does not stop with above things, there were much more things to be tackled with my manger, to know more please feel free to check out the blog posts listed on G R Team Sites.

Affordable online cloud storage choice 

After the shocking announcement from Google that photos backup will be counted against the storage limit, I have started to lookout for alternative options for cloud storage and reliable enough to store personal photos. I have finally decided to go ahead with Microsoft OneDrive’s family plan, as it will not only help me, but also backup all my family’s photos in cloud with the limit of 1TB. Please do not think it as a paid post, the information above and the details in this post are from my personal insights. My preference for selecting Microsoft OneDrive as a contender for online storage is based on the following: 
  • Pricing: OneDrive charges for per GB is exceptionally low compared to other reliable cloud storage providers like Google, Apple & Dropbox 
  • 6 person 1TB limit: Each user gets 1TB limit for cloud storage, which is well sufficient for all family members to back up their photos as well as other cloud documents.  
  • Office access: Most lucrative benefit of choosing Microsoft OneDrive family plan is the FREE license to their premium office tools like word, excel & PowerPoint.      
Readers, will continue to update my personal views about affordable online cloud storage in upcoming posts in “G R Team Sites”
