Android Disable System Updates : Disable the message "Install update keep device running smoothly"

1. How do I stop google play services auto update?
Yes it is possible to stop it from auto updating itself.follow these steps to do that:-
. Go to setting
. Tap on data usage option
. Scroll down and find Google play services

2. Block System Update
To do it follow these steps if you are on Lollipop or higher.
The update notifications usually comes on your notification bar and cannot be removed by swiping to left or right. You can either skip it by giving a time limit.
When the notification comes, pull down the notification pannel and long press on the update notification.
You will see a setting logo to the right side of the notification.
Press that and go the update notification settings.
There will be a toggle for blocking all notification from this app. Turn on that toggle and you won't get any more notifications.

Microsoft Edge Settings and Flags to boost performance : Part 1
Microsoft Edge Settings and Flags to boost performance : Part 1
Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is great....but...can be slow sometimes.
Here is a word doc version of this post:
Here is the original post
Summary
For me Edge Chromium on Windows 10/11 is an exceptional alternative to
Chrome & integrates nicely with Office365, however it can get slow over
time. For me on my SurfaceGo 1.6Ghz *GB Ram tablet this was especially the case.
Below is a list of tweaks applied to boost the load time, execution time, cpu usage
and RAM usage of the Edge Chromium browser on windows. Many settings can be
utilized with Chrome to, just replace edge:flags with chrome:flags and seek the
flag name. Some settings are platform specific such as the new Startup Boost
feature from MS for Edge, if I had time
I noted otherwise please be aware.
Settings
1. 1.Sync: Sync only whats needed, turn off sync when
not neede
2. Flags: Browse to edge://flags/
3. edge://flags/#enable-lazy-image-loading = enabled
4. edge://flags/#enable-heavy-ad-intervention = enabled
5. edge://flags/#enable-lazy-image-loading = enabled
6. edge://flags/#enable-heavy-ad-intervention = enabled
7. edge://flags/#allow-previews = disabled
8. edge://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-encode = disabled
9. edge://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode = disabled
10. edge://flags/#enable-quic = enabled
11. edge://flags/#lite-video-default-downlink-bandwidth-kbps = enabled
12. edge://flags/#back-forward-cache = enabled
13. edge://flags/#edge-experimental-tracking-prevention-features = enabled
14, Others:
edge://flags/#lite-video-default-downlink-bandwidth-kbps = 400
and
edge://flags/#quiet-notification-prompts = Enabled
15: Settings: edge://settings/system
16: New Performance Mode:
--enable-features=msPerformanceModeToggle
1.
First of all,
right-click on the Edge Canary desktop shortcut and select “Properties”.
2.
Navigate to the target
field in the Shortcut tab, add a space, and then paste the following
parameter: --enable-features=msPerformanceModeToggle
3.
Click the Ok button
and restart the browser to apply the latest changes.
4.
Finally, head to
Settings >> System >> and enable the “Performance Mode” toggle
button available under the Optimize Performance section.

To do this :
- Ctrl+H
- Find what:
^.+?((?:\d+\.){3}\d+).+$ - Replace with:
$1 - check Wrap around
- check Regular expression
- DO NOT CHECK
. matches newline - Replace all
Explanation:
^ : beginning of line
.+? : 1 or more any character but newline
( : start group 1
(?: : start non capture group
\d+ : 1 or more digit
\. : a dot
){3} : end group, must appear 3 times
\d+ : 1 or more digit
) : end group 1
.+ : 1 or more any character but newline
$ : end of line
Replacement:
$1 : content of group 1 (ie. the IP)
Result for given example:
54.246.81.158

Breath Holding Exercises from David Blaine
How he did it?
For four months, David held the Guinness world record for oxygen-assisted static apnea (holding your breath after breathing pure oxygen): 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds. His record was then surpassed by Tom Sietas on September 19, 2008. David’s record for doing what I’ll describe is between 7 and 8 minutes.
What were the results of his training?
My first baseline test: 40 seconds.
15 minutes later: 3 minutes and 33 seconds (!!!).
Durign a TedTalk, out of roughly 12 attendees, all but one beat Harry Houdini’s lifelong record of 3 minutes and 30 seconds using David's technique!. One woman held her breath for more than 5 minutes.
Here’s how we did it…
The Technique
*This is the technique prescribed by David Blaine. There are plenty more out there but they all appear to involve a similar process and essentially the same breathing exercises.
- Deep breathing: 1:30
- Purging: 1:15
- Hold breath for target 1:30 (After 1:30: Take 3 semi-purge breaths)
- 1:30 deep breathing
- 1:30 purging
- Hold breath for target 2:30 (After 2:30: Take 3 semi-purge breaths)
- 2:00 deep breathing
- 1:45 purging
- Hold breath for as long as possible
Deep Breathing
Before holding your breath, inhale and exhale slowly from deep within your diaphragm. By doing this, you’re ridding your lungs of low-quality air. Spend five seconds breathing in, then hold the breath for one second, before breathing out for ten seconds. Exhaling for 10 seconds through your mouth through your almost-closed mouth with tongue pressed against your lower teeth. It should be a hissing exhalation and make a “tsssssss…” sound. All breathing and exercises are performed though the mouth.
Purging
Exhale forcefully, pushing as much air out of your lungs as possible. Puff out your cheeks as you do this, and imagine you are trying to blow a toy sailboat across a stretch of water. Once you have exhaled completely, inhale quickly and repeat. Try to keep your body as still as possible while you do this, to avoid expending any of the stored oxygen from the previous step.
*If you do this too hard you’ll feel like you’re going to pass out. If you keep going, you probably will. Slow down and take it a little easier.
Semi-purging: Breathing between the above two. More forceful than deep breathing but less forceful than full purging. Used for recovering after each time trial.
Additional Pointers
– Make sure you’re seated comfortably (not lying down) and move as little as humanly possible.
-One thing David himself does when he does his record attempts is mentally move through each muscle in his body and ensure it is completely relaxed.
-Personally, I found leaning forward a little rather than leaning right back helped when I started struggling at the 3min mark.
-Another recommendation from Mr Blaine that I certainly found useful was running through the alphabet, naming a celebrity/famous figure for each. You may find some ridiculous names pop into your head..

Windows 10 File and Folder Tag Tool Reviews: Local and Network File and Folder Tagging
Seeking a tool to manage tagging of network and local files
and folders rendered in a clean and simple UI in short I reviewed tools to Tag
Files in Windows 10. Below are notes of my usage, not exhaustive only
summarizing my experience wit each as applicable to my use case: A stable,
clean and reluabel tool to tag local and network files and folder in Windows 10;
Here is what I found
Reference:
https://turbofuture.com/computers/Whats-the-Best-Software-for-Tagging-Files-A-Review
TABBLE : ($)
UI is TOO
busy, not intuitive, navigation is NOT natural, Folder items are merged with
file items ?
this tool
will require training, help docs, and watching tutorial if you have hours to
learn a new app then this may be the tool for you, else if you are looking for
a simple and clean tool to tag files Tabble is OVERKILL
Unable to
add network locations! (or it is so un-intuitive that I could not find the
feature in the 2 hours of use I performed)
Score: D
Tag Spaces: ($)
UI is
clean however:
Unable to
view folders in item detail >
Unable to
multi select and apply tags!!! ? (Deal breaker)
Folders
are not displayed in item view by default, Tooltip references a “perspective Toolbar”
to resolve which does not exist and/or is near impossible to find.
This app
creates extraneous files for tagging: it creates .ts flder in EVERY folder that I have tagged
files in! This is unreasonable for anyone who plans on tagging 1000's of files especially
on a NAS!!
Not worth
the $, maybe a scaled back FREE version would be worth it , as it stands the
paid version supplies too many unwanted functions for a price point to high.
SCore: D
Set tags:. ($)
UI is
1990s, looks like they added a band aid for cloud drives, UI looks like a
VB/MFC app
On start
we get a an immediate prompt asking if we want to create a “facet folder”; what
is that?.i
On first app usage we need to hot the
help files before doing ANYTHING else. Not a good sign'
useful
tool if you are only tagging local files and folders, NOT useful if you are
tagging any NETWORK files.
Score: C
XYExplorer: (Free)
Stable
UI, works fairly well support local and network file and folder tagging. Adding
tags, reading tags and managing tags this XnView competitor has clean,
intuitive & stable Tagging interface.
Rating
& Color don’t seem to work (perhaps my config needs a change)
Is a full
featured explorer UI interface, could supplement or even replace windows explorer.
Tagging
is a feature integrated within XyExlorer as a panel, as aforementioned tagging
stable, reliable and intuitive. Multi-Select
& tag is enabled
Score: B
Tag Explorer: (Windows Store, Free)
clean UI,
quick install
Allows tagging
of local & network files an folders,
allows multi select. Stable, intuitive
& clean UI are inviting and simple to navigate and infer flow. If you can
use Windows Photos App then this tool will fee similar as the developer seemingly
followed Fluent Design UI patterns that we see in MS Photos & other well known
Windows Store UWP Apps.
Stable,
does not crash, only slight delay when browsing folder, reading and writing
tags. Is fastest app of all tested
Tag
Explorer focuses on tagging and nothing else, is concise with NO frivolous
features to cause slows down.
Features
are strictly related to adding tags, reading tags and managing tags,
network
location operate same as local; Folder Management is similar to Windows Photos:
Add a Folder, then you can manage tags of items in added folder.
Score : A
If tagging is your goal for single user for network & local
files & folders then tag Explorer is the best tool in my opinion. All the other
are tools are overkill, unusable or provide features outside the requirements
for my Use Case of a single user / power user.

Surface Go Video Editor Comparison Notes
After spending far too long reviewing posts on lightweight editors that may work with Surface Go and some Surface Go Specific video editor reviews. I downloaded around 6 editors (per recommended articles) and executed a similar edit test case for each, including input clips, effects, edits and output. My Surface Go system specs are here 8G RAM, 128 GB HD, 1.61Ghz
Below are a summary of notes & observations, these are merely cliff notes of my experiences, I did not have time to capture every detail. A ubiquitous result was clear, Surface Go does NOT operate with so called light weight editors, instead only 2 editors were near operational for me, Fimora & VideoPad. Editing, scrubbing, program navigation and exporting are near impossible in all other editors.
If anyone else has differing results I would love to know if they deviated from the default editor install settings.
