10 Brilliant Tech Hacks that'll blow your mind off!
Think you’ve seen every possible tech hack out there?
If you want to know how to create a hotspot with your laptop or sent texts through an email , here is the way! Your tech life is about to get a whole lot easier xD
#1 Having trouble downloading your favorite movies?
Get direct links to download your favorite movies from Google search by typing
+”index of””Your Movie Name” Release date
For example,
+"index of" Revenant 2016
#2 Lost your Android phone?
Ring, lock or even track your smartphone remotely using the Android Device Manager.
#3 Speeding up Data Transfer
While copying that favorite TV series of yours in the laptop, you barely give a thought to the USB port used for the transfer. And why should you? All those rectangular ports are the same, right?
Well, not really! Now have a look at the tiny design engraved next to the USB ports. Do you find any difference?
In most laptops, you'd notice ports marked with one of these 2 designs:
This one above is the regular USB 2.0 port.
However, this one marked with "SS" is the Super Speed USB 3.x.
Super Speed USB has new modes specially added for data transfer, due to which it is more than 10 times faster than the regular USB port. Shocking, right?
In many laptops, however, you might not find the "SS" mark. Another way to know the SS port is to check the color inside the port. USB 3.x ports are generally colored blue inside, like in this image:
Now that did save a lot of time, right? Happy binge watching! xD
#4 Never thought you could download a YouTube video directly?
Here's the way. You can download any YouTube video just by typing "ss" before the "youtube" part of a video's URL link in your address bar.
And the best part is not only can you choose from different file types but also any resolution up to the original quality.
#5 Downloading the audio from a YouTube video is also a click away!
You can download audio from any YouTube video too. Just put "listento" before the "youtube" part of a video's URL link in your address bar.

A normal screen? Nah, not really!

#8 Sending texts via email
Don't own a smartphone? Well, that's weird.
For this, all you need is an email account, the person's phone number and the carrier information.
Just be sure to add the phone number to the address, and then you'll have an email address for them to which you can send your texts to. Simple, right? :P
#9 Wanna make the computer welcome you?
Ever wanted your Computer to speak “Howdy Sir” when you turn your PC on? Has it ever crossed your mind as to how Jarvis talks to Tony Stark? :P
Open Notepad, copy and paste the following code in Notepad :
Dim speaks, speech
speaks=”Welcome to your PC, Username”
Set speech=CreateObject{“sapi.spvoice”}
speech.Speak speaks
In the above code, simply replace Username with your Name or with any message you need your PC to speak for you at the time of Booting Up.
Save the file as a “.vbs” file ,say “WelcomeUser.vbs” on the Desktop and you're good to go.
