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.
