As part of my running journey, I have decided to do more uphill runs. On my daily 5KM runs there is a small hill that I normally run and the grade is 12% for around 100 metres. I don’t find the hill too hard to run but a few weeks ago there was someone that […]
I was a bit annoyed at YouTube for doing this but what happened was that my most popular YouTube video that was published around 5 years ago was tagged as a YouTube Shorts.

If you want to run multiple operating systems such as Linux, Android, Windows, WebOS or MacOS then using VirtualBox is the tool you need to use.

Do you hate remembering all your passwords or do you use one password for all your logins?

The Garmin VIVOFIT JR battery generally lasts for 1 year and you generally don’t get any warning on the watch when the battery dies. Changing the battery is easy and straight forward and you don’t need to replace the entire watch. I read that some people actually do this because they believe the battery can’t […]

There are also some new ones now such as having the account […]
