Crypto mining apps for Android – worth it or not?

First one I started testing is CryptoTab. It's a browser based on Chromium but with built-in mining. It comes with a built-in mining algorithm that allows anyone to mine Bitcoin without expensive hardware or technical knowledge. They have clients available for Windows, Android and iOS. I've tried Cryptotab for Android and it works just like Chromium - the difference is that while you browse it uses some background CPU resources to mine - barely noticeable while browsing. So, down to business, how much can you earn with Cryptotab?

How FreeCash for Android made me rich

If you don't know what FreeCash is, this is the wrong post for you buddy. FreeCash is one of the most popular sites that allow you to get real cash by doing various tasks that vary from filling surveys to installing and playing mobile games. And I admit, I've exaggerated a bit in the title. FreeCash didn't make me rich, but it did make more than $100 until now. When I started I was skeptical because why on Earth would you trust a site that says FreeCash in the domain? But I do trust it now. Not only that I made those money in my account, but I was able to test their cashout and it did really pay the amount I had accumulated (I chose gift cards, but you can also cashout money directly into PayPal).

Google Play Support is useless for me

I'm actually fed up with Google Play Support. To my amazement, I've started a support request in 2021 and we're in 2024 but still don't have a resolution. What is that support request that is so difficult to solve? I want to change the country of Google Play from the United States to the one I'm in for the past 4 years. That's right, for the past 4 years I've been in a different country than US, but still cannot switch it from the US to mine.

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro XL reviewed: Excellent choice even for iPhone users

Google Pixel 9 XL is Google's best phone so far, and probably one of the best Android smartphones available right now on the market. It comes with a new design, most likely done this way to entice even more iPhone users than Android users. Add to that a premium build and a much-improved software experience compared to past models, and what you've got is something that will be at the top of the high-end Android smartphone arena.

Samsung becomes #1 again as Apple’s phone sales fell 10%

Apple's smartphone shipments fell almost 10 percent in the first quarter of 2024, hit by intensifying competition from Android smartphone makers that want to get in the leading position according to research firm IDC. That or maybe the lack of true innovation in Apple devices that consumers found out about, or the fact that for the same technical specs an Apple device has, you can find an Android one that costs at least 30% less.
