How to cast Desktop to Fire TV Stick or FireTV 4k

Image
With the latest update to FireTV sticks, they lost the ability to work as a cast sink.  The new FireTV sticks don't have the option for Mirroring at all. But there's nothing to worry about and there seems to be a workaround for that. Firstly, you'll need the CastApp to be installed on your FireTV Stick.  You can download the CastApp from this direct download link .  If the link does not work you can get it from the XDA forum thread here . Or https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/chrome-cast-receiver-fire-tv-t3708913 Once downloaded you need to install it in your FireTV stick. To do that either install adblink from this tutorial or transfer it to FireTV stick using ES File Explorer like most of the people do. Once installed open the application and check Google Cast. Now open Google Chrome web browser. Click on the menu button on the top right and click on Cast... After that click on down arrow Cast to. An

We made Desktop Mascot Engine and here's a giveaway

Image
Desktop Mascot Engine is available on Steam for a long time now and it's getting better with every update. We've been updating D.M.E. for over 5 months now and we're very proud of it. We recently pushed an AI chat feature powered by NMT Chatbot. We plan to improve it over time like we have improved the whole product so far. It started with a Unity Asset that would put any 3D model on your Desktop. It's called Desktop Mascot Maker . But soon we had to make some major improvements as it was causing too much load on CPU and GPUs. We ended up making the whole program all over to fix the issue with performance. Over the time we remade our UI, worked on AI chats which sometimes didn't render the results as expected. We updated the software with a Steam Workshop tool for the users to create and add their own characters. Currently, the workshop tool supports 2D characters only and you can use Shimeji characters as you like. We're currently working on a 3D works

Website design that affects your traffic

Image
A good design is an obvious design. Sometimes the most convenient design might look boring but it might be the most productive as well. How much does a website design affect your website's traffic? Depending on the amount of traffic being the users on Mobile and slow Internet this number could variate a lot. How? To answer this, think of yourself on a slow-ass Internet something like you'd get on a 2G Mobile Network. And browsing a website with a black background, with an overlay of white image and simple text in black over it. If the white image is significantly large in size to load in a short time, you're stuck with black text over a black background. The only way to actually see is by selecting the text. Normally, a user would just leave the website unless you have some content he's really desperate for. Now a website design also affects the Search Engine Optimisation, SEO of it.

Niche based mistakes new Bloggers do in SEO

Image
When it comes to writing blogs, Search Engine Optimisation is something not everyone focuses on. Many times we would come across blogs that have good content yet don't rank well in searches. Why? The reason behind is simple, Search Engines crawlers don't think your content is good enough to be ranked higher. So how does that work? In order to rank well in the searches, you need to make quality content and focus on your niche. It is never a good idea to spread your hands in all directions. Doing so in blogging and writing content on anything you find can backlash as well. You see, if someone visits your website for a particular search term and some other person searches for something remotely related to that particular search, they tend to believe your blog might be rich in that particular type of content. In simple words, you would not expect a Video Editing related blog to host content on Astrophysics, would you? So if someday a the Video Editing blog decides to wr

[FIXED] Inventory glitch or the Black hole Bag in PUBG Mobile

Image
If you're unable to reload or your inventory a.k.a. your bag is always empty, everything you pick just goes into some unknown void and you're just clueless as to why bad things always happen to good people. Just relax because it is not a major issue and can be resolved easily. Like really easy. In short, just Restart your device. That's it, man. Just restart your device. And for people who want to dig a little deeper. This is probably not a big deal for the developers working on PUBG and I guess they can fix it in no time once and for all. It probably happens because of some data that were stored previously either from the game you left in between or you got disconnected from and are causing some conflict with the new data from the current game. So even if you uninstall the game and reinstall it won't fix because some of the temporary data remain in the phone which the application expected to be flushed when the device will be restarted. So th

How to abuse Batlepass DOTA 2

Now available  How to abuse DOTA 2 Battle Pass 2020 DOTA 2 is an immensely popular RPG game and is well known for hosting the Biggest prize pool competition for last 4 years since The International 2014. Now if you've ever bought the Battlepass you contributed to this prize pool. Anyway, it's totally worth its value but gets really expensive if you wish to reach higher levels. It's literally impossible to reach over round about 300 levels without buying extra levels. Even then it is not assured you will win every bet and predictions unless you start grinding by Battlepass abuse. Since this season has already ended I'll share a little tutorial on how Battlepass abuse for DOTA 2 works. Disclaimer: I'm in no way responsible for any damage you incur to your account or behaviour score. Also, note that if caught Valve might ban your account.  But that's a rarity. Considering the requirement for 6 months or 1 year of ban we're not doing anything p

Oppo goes to a next level in spamming stuff we don't need by their Hot Apps shortcut on Homescreen. And it is not always available in a new phone but comes after few hours sometimes days of usage.

Realme 2 vs Realme 1 what should you get?

Image
With the announcement of Realme 2, it sets a new standard for the smartphone market as this will be the cheapest phone with a notch above priced at just 8,9990 Indian Rupees. but is it really worth buying considering its predecessor has better specifications? The answer is up to who is going to use the phone. Realme 2 has downgraded few things to compensate the cost of production to provide other physical features like a notch and a fingerprint scanner at the back. There is no 6GB + 128GB version of Realme 2 yet and it's not certain if the company will be launching one. As of now, we can only compare the cheapest version of both the phones for a better understanding of what you'll be loosing or gaining upon choosing one. Low powered CPU. Realme 2 features a 1.8GHz Cortex A53 Octacore on a Snapdragon 450 with  Adreno 506 GPU which is clearly a downgrade from its predecessor Realme 1 which featured four  2.0 GHz Cortex-A73 and four 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 on a  MediaTek MT6771
