freebitco.in: the most popular bitcoin faucet

Ok, I know a little bit about bitcoins, and I know a little about scam sites, and I know a little about a lot of other things as well, BUT, after several years trying new sites and methods, I’ve come to realize that the only site that actually works is freebitco.in.

Hear me out, a bitcoin faucet is like those sites that let you earn money by clicking ads, but instead of money, is Bitcoin, and instead of ads, most of the time is just clicking a button after a period of time (in the case of freebitco.in, every hour), and after you earn X amount of satoshi, you can withdraw your earnings.

Now, this site not only let you win a few satoshi an hour (around 50 hourly), but also let you gamble with a game designed to keep you addicted… pretty clever. Also, recently added an interest rate earnings if you have over 30000 satoshi (0.0003 btc), and even a mining option from within the browser.

Anyway, if you’re trying to start wasting your time online, this is the best way to do it.

And remember, there are always referral bonuses.

Disable Quick Access Shortcuts on Google Drive

A thing I really hate is having clutter anywhere, from pc, room, kitchen, web service, you get the idea. So, when I open GDrive and the first thing I see is the Quick Access area in the first place instead of the folders… I don’t like that. Luckily, there’s a way to remove it.

First let’s go into the options, upper-right, and click on Settings.

In there you’ll see an option

Reload the page and you’re done. Note that this will not affect your Google Drive App, these two are separate and you’ll have to do it over there as well.

Cinesift: A complete list of movies based on ratings

Several months ago I was wasting my time in reddit as always and a redditor posted a link to a website that he/her created called Cinesift.

Now, this is not like any other website about movies over there, no, the site ranks movies based on a score averaged between IMDB, Metascore, Rotten Tomatoes, Audience rating, and Letterboxd. Meaning that you add all of these scores to get the average, basic math.

The site is great, not only because it gives you a list of actually good movies to watch, but also becuse since these scores are a combination between critics and regular people, you can see both sides of the story.

But anyways, go check it out, it won’t disappoint.

YSK That Google has a Color to Hex converter

If you’re a web designer, graphic designer, or a designer of any kind, changing from color to their hexadecimal counterparts is something part of the job... is like breathing. So, Google is making things way to easy allowing you to search colors and find their Hex code.

Although, as anything, this has some rules and limitations. For example, you can’t search “red to hex” or “color to hex”, this won’t work. But you can do “rgb to hex” or “#f00000”, this will work.

But no matter that, try it out and see how it is. I know that it will save a lot of time to a ton of users.

How to get the global site on Facebook Pages

I did something similar a while back, but I just realized that that method is obsolete. So here’s the new way to do it.

Go to the page (in this case will be SteelSeries), hover on More, then click on Switch Region.

Now select the region you like, I recommend default since it’s the main site, but choose the one you want.

And that’s it, no more redirection crap... I hope.

Reddit is now tracking your clicks. Here’s how to disable it

In a recent update, reddit decided to implement a tracking system to monitor users’ clicking under the feature “Allow reddit to lot my outbound clicks for personalization”. This is most users hate, and that’s why we use adblockers, the ads are tolerable, but tracking is not. Anyhow, here’s the easy way to disable it.

Go into your Preferences, scroll to the bottom.

Just disable that one and you should be done.

How to permanently hide Facebook Right Sidebar using Adblock Plus

Saw that? I hate that. I don’t care about anything in that sidebar, so I decided to hide it. Here’s how to do it. First you need to install an ad blocker, in my case Adblock Plus. I’m not saying it’s the best, just the one I’m most familiar with at the moment.

YSK how to check your Google Location history

Something I just learned. If you go into your Google account you can see your location history, which are the places where you log into your Google account, this includes PCs and mobile devices.

You could disable this, but by doing this, according to Google, Maps and Now may be not work correctly. And don’t worry, the alerts that say that you’re account is being accessed from X location will still be enabled and working without problem.

Just remember something important, there is still a chance that Google keeps recording your location whether you disable this or not, so the best thing you can do is disable any location services on your PC and your mobile.

YSK about YouTube “Continue Watching” section

Just a little tip for those who use YouTube on PC: if you stop watching a video at any point, there is a chance that the video will be added to a section called Continue Watching.

What’s so special about this? Well, apparently it will play the video where you left off, which is amazing if you like watching really long videos (my case) and have a really bad memory (also my case).

Anyway, just remember that the section in there in case you need it.

YSK you can use Shift in Google Maps

Google Maps and Google Earth are slowly merging... or at least sharing feature. This is one that I recently discover thanks to reddit, and is that if you hold Shift while moving the mouse, the whole map becomes 3D, just like Sim City or Cities Skylines.

Although if a very useless trick, it’s still amazing, and shows how amazing the technology is these days. We live in the future already.

FUCKING HOMEPAGE: A FUCKING HOMEPAGE

In case the title misleads you, this site is called FUCKING HOMEPAGE, and it’s a site that updates daily with useful information, cool websites, life tips, awesome books, interesting people, and more.

TIP OF THE FUCKING DAY: 

A MISTAKE MADE ONCE IS JUST A LESSON.

Unlike may other sites that try to ease you into reading stuff, this site just puts the info out and shove it into your face as soon as you place your eyes on it. But seriously, it’s a pretty awesome source for cool information; books, tips, people, did-you-knows, websites, images...

The site is completely fill with all kinds of useful shit, from the beginning to the end. And I really recommend you to read all you can from it, it’s the best fucking homepage you’ll ever have.

Disable Facebook Video’s Autoplay

A few days ago Facebook introduced another useless feature that nobody asked nor like: Videos now autoplay as soon as you see them. Yes, they are muted, but this is still a useless piece of shit feature that is completely worthless and I hate with all my non-existent heart. So, let’s disable it, shall we?

As always, first go to Settings.

You should see that there is a new option on the left named Videos. You can click it if you want to.

And finally, switch from On to Off.

And that’s it, the changes are effective immediately. You just have read the small letters:

Note: This setting only applies when you use Facebook on your computer. Go to your phone's settings to change auto-play videos in your Facebook app.

So you need to disable this on you phone to work there.

YouTube now supporting 4k videos

YouTube is slowly introducing 4k video support to the site, although is not yet supported by all channels, and even if you set the quality to 4k, is still possible that the video has no “4k version” and it will automatically change to 1440p.

In other cases, for any reason at all, you won’t be able to play the 4k version and will be lowered automatically. But even knowing that, you still can download the video old-school style and watch it on you PC if you want.

How to delete your Google+ account

Social networks are more and more dangerous every day, and I’m not talking about addiction or actual physical danger, but privacy intrusion. These networks ask more out of you each time they can, there are even some apps that ask for your bank information so you can transfer money from, let’s say, Facebook. Or vice versa, banks that let you connect to your social network... Doesn’t seem legit at all.

Anyway, not related to that, here’s how to delete your Google+ account. First click on your picture on the top right, then Account.

Then click on Edit settings.

Then scroll all the way down and click on “here”.

Now, here’s what you lose:

Disabel SourceForge Downloader

If you’ve used SourceForge lately, you may have noticed how all programs are now being installed using a downloader that, as all downloaders, is full of adwares. The good part is that SourceForge at least allows you to disable this.

And that’s it. Just remember to disable it if you’re not in your PC or if you delete your cookies.

YouTube is now adjusting the videos to the size of your screen

A small adjustment that went unnoticed, if you click the Theater mode to make the video bigger, YouTube will automatically resize it to fit a bigger part of your screen.

Although this is a really small change, it’s very useful and quite necessary. Also, if you have a fast Internet connection, you probably won’t notice it, but a lot of use do notice it, and because of that, thanks, YouTube.

Create corrupted text using Zalgo

One of the most common and useless things on the Internet is corrupted texts, everyone hate them, including me, but then again, curiosity killed the cat.

One easy tool to use is Zalgo Text Generator, just copy and paste the text that appears in the text box you want to use it. But keep in mind that Facebook limits the size of the text, and it won’t appear complete.

YSK how to make Facebook show Most Recent stories instead of top stories
