BlueStacks is one of the easiest ways to run all Android applications and games on PC, and today, the company has formally launched version 5.

BlueStacks puts the Android operating system on your desktop computer. BlueStacks is the first production software that allows you to use your favorite mobile apps on a Windows PC. You can download apps like Angry Birds Space, Temple Run, Evernote, or Documents to Go directly into BlueStacks or sync the apps from your phone using the BlueStacks Cloud Connect Android app.


Today, the company is formally launching BlueStacks 5, the latest iteration of the software. This is a follow-up to BlueStacks 4, which first launched in 2018.

According to the company, BS5 offers significantly faster boot, installation, and launch times when compared to BS4. This is due to the app being a "complete rewrite" of the previous system.

Unfortunately, the operating system the game emulates has not been updated. Just like with BS4, BS5 is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat — the 2016 iteration of the Android operating system.

Protect Your Chat Privacy on WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram

Recently, Whatsapp has announced a privacy update, after which most of the users have switched to other apps like Signal and Telegram. In the Whatsapp update, it was said that the app would share your data with Facebook. However, when you switched to other apps, you didn't find everyone using it, so you came back to Whatsapp.

If we see, any messaging app does not offer complete security. So, it is up to you how you optimize your safety online. You can do it easily by changing the settings on the apps. Here, let us check out all apps like Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, and Facebook and see how we can protect chat privacy on each app.

How to Protect your Chat Privacy on Whatsapp, Signal, or Telegram?



First, let us check out Whatsapp.

Protect Chat Privacy on Whatsapp:

Most importantly, avoid malicious content; for that, you should not click on any links and attachments that are forwarded to you without being verified—most of them unknowing forward links that might be dangerous.

The second thing you must do is, disable the option to save images automatically on the phone. You might receive malware via images also.

Third, you must get a PIN for two-step verification. Apart from this, you must turn Off backups, as if the chat is backed up, then it is no longer protected by end-to-end encryption.

Telegram

Once the Telegram app is ready to use on your phone, go to Settings and then click on the Privacy and Security option and add a password. Then turn on two-step verification.

After that, check out each setting and change all the default settings to "nobody" or "my contacts." When you do these changes, not everyone will be able to your phone number, when you were online, or profile photo. And you must check out "active sessions" as well to see if any other device has logged in to your account or not.


Telegram has a secret chats feature that has encryption from one device to another. Another feature is that there is an option of self-destroying messages once they are read.

Signal

Signal has become the most popular app recently, but it does have a few flaws. So you should change some of the default settings to be safe. You must activate the Registration Lock; this helps you if your phone is stolen or hijacked; no one can check your chat history.

Another option is to set up a Screen Lock by using a passcode or biometric security. Turn off the "Previews" option to stop showing messages when the screen is locked. Enable the Screen Security option in Profile.

Facebook

Facebook tracks everything, and it can see whatever you are doing on other apps. You can stop this by going to Settings of the app on your phone. Scroll down and go to Privacy and then click on Settings again. Under your information, there is an option of OFF-Facebook activity; turn Off this option. This option has information that businesses and organizations share with the app.

Huawei Moves into Pig Farming Tech as Smartphone Biz Continues to Fall

It appears the smartphone market is stricter for Huawei most especially as the effect of sanctions begins to take effect on its smartphones sales hence the new adventure into Pig farming business.


Huawei has announced that it's ready to go into pig farming as the company explores growth areas outside smartphones. Along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for pig farmers, Huawei is also working with the coal mining industry.

It is also looking for other sources of revenue moving into cloud computing services, smart vehicles, and wearable devices. It even has plans for a smart car.


Huawei has stated that it is launching an artificial intelligence pig farming project in a bid to modernize pig farms, with the technology being introduced to detect diseases and track pigs. China is home to the world's largest pig farming industry and is home to half the world's live hogs.

In pig farming, Facial recognition technology will enable farmers to identify individual pigs, while other technology will also help monitor their weight, diet, and exercise.

Ever since the Chinese company has been hit by the US trade restrictions, blacklisted by the former US President Donald Trump, its smartphone business has continued to plummet in sales.

Huawei's smartphone sales plunged 42% in the last quarter of 2020 as it struggled with a limited supply of microchips due to the sanctions.

How to Safely Buy, Sell Crypto’s in Nigeria, Withdraw in Naira to Your Bank Account

Earlier in February, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released a circular, effectively banning cryptocurrency trading in Nigeria and ending the relationship that existed between Nigerian crypto exchanges and banks in the country.


The ban has forced many Nigerians to hold their cryptocurrencies, and those who want to buy are currently finding it difficult to buy. Some exchangers in Nigeria like Luno, YellowCard, Patricia among others have currently disabled withdrawals, while some have found a way to move on with P2P.

For Bundle Africa, they recently sent a mail to all subscribers that they are working out a way of building a P2P platform while expanding to the Ghana market.


But I'm going to show you how to buy, sell crypto's and withdraw directly to your bank account.
Binance P2P:

With Binance P2P trading, you can buy, sell cryptocurrencies and withdraw to your bank account. Binance P2P is a peer-to-peer trading market where you can safely trade crypto in exchange for your local currency. Binance P2P's escrow service safeguards every transaction, giving traders peace of mind.

How it Works

Once the buyer places an order, the seller's cryptocurrency will automatically be transferred from the seller's wallet to the temporary deposit with Binance P2P's escrow service. The cryptocurrencies will be held in the deposit guarantee until the transaction is successfully completed by both parties.

First of All Register an account on Binance here

Perform all the necessary identity verification and then proceeds.

Step 1: Place your order

Place an order to buy or sell cryptocurrency. The crypto will be held by Binance P2P temporarily until the operation is successfully completed.

Step 2: Start a conversation

Start a conversation with the seller or buyer. When you are trading with a counterpart that you do not know, we recommend that you use the chat to communicate with him/her. The chat history will be essential if there is a dispute with your counterpart and you make an appeal.

Step 3: Make the payment or release the cryptocurrencies


If you are a buyer, make the payment and notify the seller that you completed the payment. Click the "Confirm" button to notify the seller that you made the payment. If you are a seller, wait for the buyer's payment confirmation before releasing the crypto.
How to Withdraw Naira on Binance to Your Bank Account

Step 1: Go to the home page, click "P2P Trading". On the P2P page, click the (1) "Sell" tab and then select (2) "NGN" as the crypto asset you want to sell. Select an ad and click (3) "Sell".
 


Step 2. After selecting a suitable offer, it's time to place your withdrawal order. Enter the amount you want to withdraw to your bank account, then tap "Sell NGN"



Step 3. Wait for payment from the buyer. Please note that your NGN balance is frozen for the duration of the transaction, on the same principle as transactions with cryptocurrencies (BTC, USDT, etc.)


Step 4. After the buyer completes the payment and marks the order as paid, the "Confirm transfer" button will become active. Please be sure to check your Bank Account and make sure the buyer has made payment. If the payment is received, confirm the transfer and complete the transaction.
Skrill:

Another way to buy and withdraw cryptocurrency is through skrill. It allows you to buy cryptocurrencies with ease.

Just open a Skrill account for free, link your debit card and start buying.

But your best shot without any restriction is P2P.

Let us know in the comment if you are already a P2P Crypto trader.

And so many more amazing things. 

Why do you need to go live on Instagram?

You may need to go live on Instagram for so many reasons. Unfortunately, Instagram video lengths are too short, and it just lets you share up to 1-minute videos on feed, and 15-seconds long ones on stories. Hence, you can use the live stream feature to share longer videos. However, as mentioned on the SproutSocial, you may need to go live on Instagram for so many reasons like:

  • Share tutorials
  • Show behind-the-scenes
  • Alert followers about sales
  • Do an interview

And other reasons. 

Instagram Live is a great way to engage with your followers. Using this Instagram feature, you can talk to your followers in real-time, receive their comments, and answer their questions. This interactive environment will help you make a stronger connection with your customers and also, raise their trust in you. Also, you can save the Live as an IGTV video on your page, which not only increases the chances of getting discovered on Instagram but also, can be used as a source for answering your followers' questions.
So, let's waste no more time and dive into our topic which is Instagram live from computer, in other words how to go live on Instagram on pc.

Another way to go live on Instagram is to use third-party apps. If you Google "third-party apps to go live on Instagram", you will find thousands of apps that claim they let you do it.
