Tip

Try this trick to open and access apps and files without searching on your phone or computer! Amazing!

Is your phone nearby? Grab it and go to your home screen. Press your finger down on an app icon. You’ll probably see a little menu pop up that lets you take action right there. 

• With your messages app, you can see your most recent conversations or start a new text without opening the app. 
• Hold down on the clock app to start a stopwatch, open a timer or set a new alarm — again, all without opening it.

Neat, right? This works on your computer, too. Right-click on a program that’s in your taskbar or on your dock. Give it a try with your most used apps, and I’ll bet you’ll find some new shortcuts.

Before you start holiday shopping, do this to hide your gift purchases from your spouse or family on Amazon

The holidays will be here before you know it, and — like it or not — Amazon is an easy way to get something everyone will love. But, you do not want to spoil the surprise.

Clever ways to hide purchases

If you’re sharing the same Amazon account with another family member, there are ways to hide purchases and searches to avoid potentially heartbreaking gift spoilers. Here are a few options:

Archive an order

When you archive orders, this action hides gift purchases from your order history and can also hide items you no longer want to reference or are simply too embarrassed to reveal.

To archive an order on a computer, hover your cursor over Account & Lists and click on Orders. Find the order you want to hide and click View order details, then Archive Order. Click Archive Order again

to confirm. This will remove the item from immediate viewing within your order history.

Note: Archived orders can still be viewed by going to the Your Account page and selecting Archived orders. These items can also be restored by selecting Unarchive Order.

Remove items from your browsing history

You can remove items from your browsing history to avoid revealing your gift ideas. Hover your cursor over Account & Lists and click on Browsing History. A list of things you’ve looked at will appear. For each item that you want to hide, tap Remove from view.

Note: If you want all searches hidden, turn off your account’s Browsing History entirely by selecting Manage history and toggling off Turn browsing history on/off.

You Must Eat Ze Bugs!

As more of the world is impoverished on the way to 2030 – where you will “own nothing and be happy” – Technocrats have already planned your survival menu: bugs! The world could easily be awash with meat, vegetables and grain, but why waste good food on down-and-outer poor people, right?

A major supermarket chain in the UK is finalising plans to stock insects on its shelves and market them as a cheap food source for people struggling to afford to feed their families amid soaring inflation and the cost of living crisis.

The Daily Mail reports that Aldi is considering stocking ‘edible’ bugs and providing recipe kits for parents to prepare worms and crickets for their hungry children.

Potential products in the range include ‘sustainable’ cricket burgers, as well as ‘nuggets’ and ‘mince’.

Yummmmmy.

Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more more dystopian, the supermarket is involved with a TV game show in which insect ‘farmers’ will pitch the bugs as the ‘next big thing’ for Aldi, according to the report.

One of the contestants, Aaron Thomas, commented, “We’re on a mission to change perceptions of insects as food; they’re one of the most sustainable protein sources in the world.”

Thomas further claims that crickets contain more protein than beef adding “We want to take bug consumption mainstream. If we’re able to get in front of Aldi’s audience, that would be an amazing opportunity.”

The move is the latest in a growing trend of pushing bug eating on the masses as a way of ‘saving the planet’.
