Imagine this scenario: you are trying to log into your bank account—whether it is Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, or SoFi. You get to the two-factor authentication step, open your text messages or Google Authenticator, and copy your six-digit code. But when you go back to your banking app and hit paste, the code magically does not work anymore.

You didn’t type it wrong; you copied it directly. So what happened?

Sometimes colleagues or friends ask us to send them a tutorial on how to do specific things on their phones, like accessing a website. You can take and send screenshots, but that takes a long time. It is much better to just send a video with your face on it and your narration.

This front-facing camera has so much power that it can actually help you save a lot of money on buying extra equipment.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy, this screen recording feature works right out of the box. If you have a Google Pixel, it might not, and you may need to download a specific screen recording app. Most of these apps are free, and even if you have to pay five bucks, it is a great return on investment compared to buying a dedicated camera.

Here is how to set up and record your own tutorials directly on your Samsung Galaxy.

1. Find the Screen Recorder

First, you need to locate the tool:

• Double swipe your notification bar down with two fingers, and then swipe down even more.

• Look for the screen recorder icon.

• If you do not see it, tap the pencil icon to edit your quick settings.

• Find the screen recorder at the bottom, press and hold it, and drag it up into your active quick settings.

2. Configure Your Video Settings

Before you start, you want to make sure your audience can hear you and see what you are tapping. Instead of just tapping the icon, press and hold your finger on the screen recorder icon to open its settings.

• Scroll down to the video section.

• Increase the size of the selfie video so you are visible.

• Enable “Show taps and touches” so your viewers can follow along.

• Ensure the sound is set to record both “media and microphone” so it captures your narration. (If you don’t need narration, you can just choose media).

Everything you capture will automatically be saved into your picture and video directory.

3. Start Recording Your Tutorial

Now that you are configured, go back to your main screen and tap the screen recorder icon. It will give you a countdown before it starts.

During the recording, tap the face icon to activate your selfie camera. You will see your face in a bubble on the screen, and you can actually move this face around while you are recording. As you navigate the phone, you can tap on things and those touches will be shown in the final video. You can also annotate directly on the screen to highlight specific links or areas.

The S Pen Bonus Hack

If you have a Samsung Galaxy with an S Pen, there is a fantastic bonus feature. When you whip out your S Pen and hover it over the screen, it shows a visible cursor. As you are doing your tutorial, this cursor allows you to guide and navigate the viewer’s eyes to the exact things you want them to press on.

I hope this saves you time and money, and adds some convenience to your life. If you enjoyed this guide, please leave your feedback in the comments. I really look at your feedback to choose the direction for my future videos.

For years, we’ve relied on complex keyboard combinations to get things done quickly on a computer. But what if I told you that you could navigate your entire operating system faster using just two, three, or four fingers?

One of the greatest inventions on the modern laptop is the multi-touch trackpad. Yes, Apple pioneered it , but Windows has adopted and refined many of the same concepts. Instead of arguing about who copied who , let’s focus on what actually matters: how to use these gestures to completely change the way you operate your machine.

Here are the essential trackpad gestures for both Windows and Mac that will supercharge your workflow.

1. Show the Desktop Instantly

Stop minimizing windows one by one or reaching for “Windows + D”.

We all love the convenience of voice search. Tapping a microphone to ask Google Gemini or Amazon Alexa a quick question is much faster than typing it out. But in this installment of our privacy series, we need to talk about what you are actually trading for that convenience.

When you use voice search, your phone doesn’t just answer your question and forget about it. That audio is transcribed, and the data is stored on a server. In many cases, it is not just the question being saved—it is the audio of your actual voice, including whatever was happening in the background before you even finished your thought.

I recently looked into my own data to see exactly what Google keeps, and the results were eye-opening.

I want to cut through the overcomplicating of sales reps who try to upsell you on expensive PCs.

At some point, you will have to buy a new computer, and the spec sheets can be overwhelming. But here is a secret: Windows actually keeps track of built-in performance scores for you. It rates your CPU, RAM, and graphics on a simple 1 to 10 scale, so you know exactly what your machine is capable of handling.

If I can save you anywhere from $500 to $5,000 a year on a smart purchase, then I have done my job. Here is how to find your computer’s hidden score and what it actually means.

How to Find Your Windows Performance Score

You can try this right now on your current Windows machine, or even run it on a display model at the store before you buy it.

We have all been there. You buy a lightning-fast Windows computer, but after a year or two, it starts taking forever just to turn on. It does not matter if it is a standard laptop from Best Buy or a $4,500 rig with an RTX 5090 - eventually, the boot time crawls to a halt.

Before you drop another $1,000 or $1,500 on a brand-new machine, let me show you how to optimize the one you already have.

Here is exactly why your Windows PC is slowing down and the simple, free fix to speed it back up.

The Problem: The “Ghost” Installations

It is incredibly frustrating to download an app for a trivial task, only to realize it wants to charge you a monthly fee.

We often download note-taking apps or pay for a Microsoft 365 subscription just to jot down some thoughts. The problem is that these applications are heavy, they eat up your phone’s memory, and they often come with serious privacy implications. Plus, paying just to take notes without distractions feels like a waste of money.

If I can save you $5 to $10 every single month, that money adds up so you can spend it on things that actually matter.

Today, I am going to show you a hidden trick to create a completely offline, distraction-free note-taking environment right inside your browser.

The Browser Address Bar Hack

You do not need to download anything to make this work. You can do this on an Android phone, an iPhone, a PC, a Mac, or even a game console.

Today, we are tackling voice multitasking. Many people severely underestimate what native voice assistants can do, opting instead to download the latest AI. But there is a massive difference between answering a trivia question and actually controlling your operating system.

Here is how to set up your phone to do the heavy lifting for you.

Bixby vs. Google Gemini: The Integration Gap

If you download Google Gemini, you can speak to it naturally and it will understand exactly what you are asking. It is brilliant at answering questions.

We love our fingerprint sensors, don’t we? You tap your thumb, the screen lights up, and you are in. It feels like magic, but convenience is often the enemy of security.

When you rely on your face or fingerprint to unlock your phone, your password is no longer a secret code—it is a physical object. It is something you leave on a water glass at a restaurant and something you walk around exposed to the world with.

Because it is physical, it can be used against you. A thief can force your thumb onto the sensor, or your six-year-old can hold the phone up to your face while you are napping to buy 500 Robux. But beyond accidental purchases and theft, there is a much bigger legal reality we need to talk about.

The Legal Gap: Your Body vs. Your Mind

There is a massive difference between how the law treats your body versus your mind.

• Biometrics (The Body): Courts have often ruled that your fingerprint or face is like a physical key. In many situations, police with a warrant can physically compel you to use your thumb or hold the phone up to your face.

• Passcodes (The Mind): A PIN or password lives inside your brain. Forcing you to reveal the contents of your mind is a much harder legal battle because it often falls under the protection against self-incrimination (the Fifth Amendment in the US).
