You may have been listing to or watching a great podcast on Mac’s Podcast app, and you may want to export it and store it elsewhere on your Macintosh HD for safekeeping.
It seems Apple has disabled the functionality of dragging Podcast items to the desktop to store or export them elsewhere.
So here is how to do it in an alternative way.
Step 01: Click on Finder

As far as I can remember, I have used Photoshop from version two. So I have used Photoshop for almost twenty years, less or more.
I have been using the Sketch app for four years. And just now, because of team recommendations, I have to switch to Figma.
The most problematic point about Photoshop or XD is Adobe’s pricing model. Adobe forces you to buy all Creative Cloud apps whether you choose them or not. In India, Adobe CC costs INR 45,000/- plus taxes.
The best thing about the Sketch app is its pricing model, i.e. Annual Subscription, which costs you INR 7,500/- for a year, and after it ends, you use the same app as long as you want without buying another subscription. So yes, you will not get updates, but you have an app to work with.

My final cost of the trip after taxes applied was 160.05 INR.
But when I completed my trip I got notification from the Uber app that I have not paid 5 paise out of 160.05 INR using cash.
I just learned that Apple Music pays artists 1 cent (75 Indian paise) for one stream / one audience listens to your song for a single time.
So if you want to earn $1 (75 INR), the artist should have 100 plays/views by his user/audience.

I have been wondering about this for a long time,
When I eat Bhel Puri for 35/—rupee at Hotel ‘A’, but I order the same Bhel Puri from the same hotel ‘A’ through Swiggy, it is shown as 50/—rupee at the MRP price.
Why these discrepancies? I even saw Swiggy’s user base repeatedly asking them the same question on Twitter.

Background:
I have written a complete, in-depth review and analysis of the Suyog Ranade Vivaha or Shree Suyog Vivaha Mandal Matrimony website that I used for 6 to 7 months, mainly on WhatsApp groups, because of bad user experience on website format. I reported the following issues to them, but they were not ready or in the right frame of mind to accept it.
So, I just unregistered myself from their portal and exited their WhatsApp groups.
Following are the points that I noticed about their matrimony service:
Point 01:
No or Failed Business Model. The matrimony section mainly runs on WhatsApp Groups of 250 people. The group is unmanaged sometimes; people post their profiles multiple times. Some people even post political or comic forwards. Because all members are in an open WhatsApp group, there is no contact number security or number privacy. Sometimes, admins or business owners post repeated WhatsApp Messages asking every user to register and pay a fee to use WhatsApp groups or websites. Admins even warn users they will remove everyone who never pays the matrimony section fee, which showcases the main point that there is no thought behind Successful Business Model or Revenue Generation.
Point 02:
No Privacy or Security: Because of the open group with visibility of contact numbers to everyone, users are prone to scammers and fake profiles or spam calls
Point 03:
Suyog Ranade Vivaha lost complete user profile data and even registered account data three times while upgrading their website and transferring the website to their new domain. They had to ask every user individually to reregister for their website repeatedly—a failed system.
Point 04:
Website owners had to change their Web Domain as a similar web domain was used by its competitor with a slight name difference. This shows no thought about branding or company structure. Because of this exact domain by competitors, Suyog Ranade Vivavha’s Matrimony users were registering wrongly on competitors’ websites, thinking competitors that they were the original company. This shows a loss of identity and company branding, and a loss of revenue.
Point 05:
As you can see in the screenshots, the website structure is broken and faulty, with buggy coding and development.

I have been using LinkedIn for the last 6 to 7 years. But lately, I am getting irritated while signing in to LinkedIn, even when trying to read messages, send messages, or post on LinkedIn Groups.
I will list a few things here explaining why I am saying so.
The first foremost irritating thing, i.e. code deployed & Implemented
Whenever I try to sign in to the LinkedIn page, it resets to the public home page or the sign-in page, even if I enter the username with the correct password combination. The page resets again & again without any error message. Asking why? Poor code deployed by LinkedIn itself.
One day, I was exploring adding network suggestions on popular professional networking sites like LinkedIn.
I came across a profile where a nice female human being stated under the Languages category that she knows ‘Java’ as her (first or Native) Language.
& It was hard to stop laughing for several minutes.

Google AdSense Now supports Websites in Indic Languages like Hindi.
So, if your website is in Hindi, you should be able to fetch AdSense Ads now.
See Image below:
I have a few blogs in English & few others that utilise my mother tongue, i.e. Marathi…
& It was weird that Ads on my Marathi Blog wasn’t showing Ads at all, All ad slots were appearing blank…
I even checked the original Adsense ad code back & forth, even rechecked my website’s HTML code, I even revalidated my HTML Code with w3c standards but found no errors, then I reported it to ‘Google Support’ but no use…
But I found the answers…
