Hello friends,  i will be starting my series post on Internet Business Ideas. Whereby you can invest your money and earn passive income for years to come. I will not make mention of  HYIP sites that promises High percentage of Return rates on your investments, as those sites tend to be scam sites, they pay your dividends for a while and disappear into the dark world of the internet with rest of money making you loose your money. One fact i want you to remember is that in as much as there are thousands of fake scam programs online, there is even a thousand and one real and genuine paying programs that you can invest into. Not all investment program online are HYIP's.  And i have taken it upon myself to make the research and introduce to you Legit Paying programs where you can make money online with peace of mind that your investment is secured.

 Let me bring to your mind that the programs i will be bringing to your notice might not be high paying site (As they tend not to last...) and juicy programs.. I will be introducing you to low and steady passive income programs. Where you will feel secured with your investments no matter what level of investor you become. Investment Programs i will be showing you will not be a tasked based business program.. they will be business program where you will just invest your money and fold your hands as a shareholder earning dividends everyday.

As the usual saying goes that Nothing Last forever, So goes for Batteries too, they don’t last forever — they only have so many charge cycles. As you use your battery, it will degrade over time and you’ll get less and less battery life from it. Eventually, you’ll want to replace a device’s battery — or get a new device with a new battery.
Even if you can’t access the battery yourself, you can often pay to have it replaced. For example, Apple stores will replace an iPhone or iPad’s battery for a fee.

All Batteries’ Capacities Decrease Over Time


A battery doesn’t just go from “good” to “bad.” Instead, as you use it, it will slowly degrade. The battery’s capacity will decrease and it’ll be able to store less and less power. This is a gradual process, and you won’t necessarily notice until you realize you used to get a few more hours of battery power from your device.

You can help prolong your battery’s life and keep its capacity up by properly caring for your battery, but all batteries will eventually fall victim to entropy. There’s just no getting around this. If you’re lucky, you’ll never have to replace your battery — it will just keep working well enough until you upgrade to a new phone, tablet, laptop, or other device with a new battery. If not, you’ll have to replace it.
If a battery is nearly dead, some devices will warn you that it’s time to replace it.

How to View a Device’s Battery Health

You can check your battery’s health level before you see a critical warning. Some devices may not display such a warning at all, so you may need to check the battery health information to see whether the status is critically low or not. Here’s how to find battery health information on some common operating system:
  • Windows Laptops: We recommend NirSoft’s BatteryInfoView to find a Windows laptop’s battery health, but there are other utilities you can use instead.
  • MacBooks: Hold down the Option key and click the battery icon on the menu bar. You’ll see a “Condition:” line displayed here.
  • iPhones and iPads: You’ll need some sort of third-party application that will display your device’s battery health. For example, CoconutBattery is an app you can install on your Mac. It’ll let you view the battery status of connected iPhones and iPads. This information isn’t normally displayed in iOS.
  • Android Phones: Open the dialer app and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Tap “Battery information” to see that status of your Android device’s battery.
For other devices, search for the type of device and “battery health” to get instructions.






When It’s Time to Replace a Battery

Whatever your device says about the health of its battery, it doesn’t necessarily matter. For example, if your battery reports it’s at 40 percent of its original capacity and you’re still happy with how much battery life you get, you don’t necessarily need to replace it. But its battery life will continue to decrease.
On the other hand, if you’ve seen a device’s battery life decline sharply and you want longer battery life from it, it’s probably time to replace its battery. Be sure to follow tips for extending a device’s battery life before deciding the battery’s hardware is at fault. It could just be background applications draining your device’s battery more quickly.

How to Replace a Battery

If you have a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or another device with a removable battery, this is easy. You’ll just need to purchase a replacement battery designed specifically for your device, power down your device, and then replace the current battery with the new one. This will give your device a fresh battery with maximum capacity, increasing its battery life.
More and more smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices are made without batteries you can access yourself. In some cases, these are designed so the manufacturer can replace the battery for you. For example, you can take an old iPhone, iPad, or MacBook to an Apple Store and pay a fee to have Apple employees open your device and replace the battery for you. Check if your manufacturer offers this service.
There’s always the option of doing it yourself, of course. You could potentially open up your device, get a replacement battery, and try to seal it back up again. We don’t necessarily recommend this — so many modern devices have batteries and other components that are glued together and not designed to be opened. This may be a more reasonable option for some devices — it depends on the device and how it’s built.

The battery health status your device reports can help you decide whether it’s time to replace your battery, but the decision is ultimately up to you and based on how much battery life you need. For example, if you have a laptop that originally offered eight hour battery life but is now down to four hours, you may not necessarily want to replace the battery. If that four hours is good enough for you, you may want to save your money and put it toward buying a new laptop in the future. That’s your decision.

Laptops, tablets, and phones never seem to know exactly how many hours of power they have left. The estimate may jump from two hours to five hours before dropping back down to one hour. Even worse, the battery may suddenly die without warning.

Your Device Is Just Guessing Based on Your Current Usage


Your device’s battery drains faster when it does more demanding things. All your laptop can do is monitor how fast its battery has been draining over the last several minutes and make an informed guess. So even if you have 100% battery power left, you’ll see a different number of estimated hours depending on how hard your computer is currently working.
For example, a laptop might estimate ten hours of battery life if you dim its display and browse the web. Crank the display brightness to maximum and launch a demanding PC game, though, and the estimate might become two hours.
It’s just a prediction. If you see a low estimate, you can make your battery last longer by easing up on it. If you see a high estimate, you won’t get anywhere near that many hours if you start using your hardware heavily.
This estimate can also fluctuate based on the work your computer is doing in the background. For example, Windows might be installing updates–that will use more CPU resources, drain battery power more quickly, and lower the estimate. Even if you’re just browsing the web, some websites–especially ones with video ads–use more system resources than others.
In other words, your device makes an estimate based on the current rate of battery drain. It’s similar to why progress bars can be so inaccurate. It can’t predict the future, only guess based on current conditions.

If the Battery Dies Without Warning, It Doesn’t Know How Much Juice it Has


Batteries suffer wear and tear as you use them. This causes them to decrease in health. In other words, they won’t hold as much power.
The hardware that monitors how much capacity the battery has left may have an inaccurate estimate, which why a device might die when the operating system is still reporting 10% or even 20% battery power left.
Some devices are better at understanding how much power they have. Circuitry on the battery itself generally reports the battery’s capacity and health to the operating system. But, if you find your device dying when the operating system reports 20% or 10% battery life left, the battery may need recalibration.
You can recalibrate a battery by draining it down to empty before charging it back to full capacity. It won’t make the battery last any longer, but it will help the hardware understand how much capacity the battery has left and make more accurate estimates.
You can check the health and capacity of your battery on pretty much any device, too. On Windows, you can generate a battery health report that shows you the “design capacity” that your battery had when it arrived from the factory and the “full charge capacity” it currently has. The current full charge capacity will be lower than the original design capacity due to the battery deteriorating.
Battery life estimates will never be completely accurate, but the percentage figure is more accurate than the time estimate. If the reported percentage seems wrong, recalibrate the battery so it understands how much power the battery can actually store.

Question 1: When your laptop’s battery is 100% charged, should you leave it plugged in so any battery power doesn’t get used, or will that cause overcharging, overheating, etc.? Should the laptop be unplugged when the battery level is 100%?

 Question 2: When I’m at home, is it better to use the laptop plugged into AC power, or with just the battery, for the overall battery life?

 Should you leave your laptop plugged in and charging when you’re not on-the-go? What’s best for the battery? What’s best for your user experience? Read on 

 I am quite sure most of us must have been curious about the above questions. Well lets discuss what is best for your laptop batteries.

Answers:


The answer to the question isn’t a cut and dry “Yes, leave it tethered” or “No, unplug it”  because of the variety of laptop designs, their battery types, and the integrated charging circuit that recharges the battery. That said, the insights provided by SuperUser contributors cover the most common scenarios laptop owners will come across. Contributor Charles Roper writes:
It won’t make all that much difference. What will shorten battery life is temperature: If it gets hot, it will shorten the battery life. Best thing to do, if you are able, is to remove the battery while you’re at home and keep it somewhere cool.

What is a Motherboard?

The motherboard serves to connect all of the parts of a computer together. The CPU, memory, hard drives, optical drives, video card,sound card and other ports and expansion cards all connect to the motherboard directly or via cables.
The motherboard is the piece of computer hardware that can be thought of as the "back bone" of the PC.

The Motherboard is Also Known As

mainboard, mobo (abbreviation), MB (abbreviation), system board, logic board

Important Motherboard Facts

Desktop motherboards, cases and power supplies all come in different sizes called form factors. All three must be compatible to work properly together.

Personal Computers and its related gadgets has now become an everyday tool, as there are many and more ways we make use of these devices in over everyday life. Personal laptops has now become handy nowadays. And to make the most proper and efficient use your personal computer, the following are 5 Simple tips you Should Know How to Do.


5. Set Up a Simple Backup System 

  We all know we should back up our computers, but it’s always one of those things that you’ll set up “one day”. Setting up a backup only takes minutes, though, so you can do it right now and forget about it until you need it—and when you do need it, you’ll be glad you set it up. If you’re just backing up to an external drive, you can just use the simple tools built in to your computer, like Windows Backup or Apple’s Time Machine. However, that’ll only keep you safe if your computer fails. If you lose your home in a fire, get all your gear stolen, or experience any other kind of disaster (God forbid), you’ll have lost all those important documents, family photos, and other files forever. So, we recommend using a service like CrashPlan to back up your computer online. That way, it can back up no matter where you are, and that data will be safe no matter what happens to your hardware.

4.  Do Everything Faster with Shortcuts


The great thing about computers is that they can do a lot of things much faster than a human. Say you’re looking for a specific word on a web page. Instead of scanning it yourself, all you need to do is press Ctrl+F and type the word you’re looking for. There are mountains of shortcut like this, from pressing Ctrl+S to instantly save the file you’re working on, Ctrl+P to print it out, or Ctrl+T to open a new tab in your web browser. It may seem like more trouble than its worth at first, but after you use a shortcut one or two times, you’ll wonder why you ever did anything with the mouse.



3.  Protect Yourself From Viruses

Windows users have long known the pain of viruses and other malware, but the good news is it’s pretty easy to avoid. First, we recommend learning the difference between viruses, trojans, and other kinds of attacks, as well as the myths surrounding them. Then, install some good, free antivirus software to protect yourself (Avast is our current favorite, but Bitdefender is a slightly less nerdy, equally secure option). You can even get antivirus for your Android phone, if you so choose. But in the end, the best way to avoid viruses is to use common sense: don’t open links that look suspicious, don’t install programs from untrusted sources, and if a window pops up saying your computer’s infected, make sure it’s actually your antivirus software saying that and not a fake web page.



Understanding routers, modems, and the other things that make up your network can seem daunting, but there are a few basics that can fix most problems that come your way. Does your router constantly need resetting? Make sure it isn’t overheating or clogged with traffic. Is your Wi-Fi speed and range less than ideal? In my next poat, i will post guide on how to fix simple network issues.

2. Keep Your PC Free of Crap


Ever wonder how that Yahoo toolbar got on your system or the ad-ware that just shows up annoyingly on your screen when browsing?, or why there’s so much junk installed on your brand new machine? Crapware is a huge problem in the world of Windows, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it lying down. With the right tools and a little know-how, you can avoid that crapware forevermore: just uninstall the stuff that came with your system, and learn the ways companies trick you into installing stuff you don’t want. You’ll keep that system nice and clean, and beat the scammers at their own game.

1. Access Your Home Computer From Anywhere


I guess you might have heard of  Dropbox, but let me telll you how helpful it might be if you have Ever go out with your laptop and realize you left something important on your computer at home?den you know what am talking aboou. One way to solve this problem is to use a service like Dropbox, so your files are with you everywhere you go. However, it’s also handy to know how to use your home computer from anywhere. With a simple app like TeamViewer, you can log into your home computer from another machine and use it as if you were sitting right at your desk—whether you just need to grab a quick file or access a program you don’t have elsewhere.

So Start getting your hands on these five tools and tips.
