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.
(more…)I just travelled from Mumbai to Thane using Uber cabs. They rounded my bill before tax by 46 Paise. My trip was a cash trip.
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 got a job as a Graphic Designer in a good company in 2007.
I completed my Final Year Project on Apple Inc. in my previous graduation year.
So, I was way more familiar with Apple Computers than I required. With a new stream of money, I started receiving money because of the job. I bought my dream computer, a 24-inch iMac.
Someone from my company told me about Apple Premium Reseller, Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd, located at Andheri West near Fun Republic Mall.
The year that I bought iMac was March 2008. I visited their store near Fun Republic Mall. The physical RAM that was coming with the iMac was 2GB. At that time, they told me I must buy more RAM if I wanted 4GB RAM. So I said I will opt for 4GB RAM. They told me they could provide me with pirated apps that were preinstalled and Pro Apple Apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Studio, and Adobe Creative Suite. I said I was not interested. But this was when I sensed something wrong with the purchasing process.
The Unicorn person told me they would not deliver the Apple iMac to the home I had to carry to my house, which was 20 kilometres away. I said no problem, I will take it myself.
After using that iMac, I started experiencing issues and feeling cheated by Apple Premium Reseller when I purchased what was supposed to be a new iMac from them.

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.

I know it happened to me when I purchased a new TP-Links router. But after setting up the router with my ISP (Internet Service Provider), my Mac / iMac / MacBook / MacBook Pro / MacBook Air / Mac Mini started dropping connection intermittently every 5 minutes or every 2 minutes.
After trying everything, here is a list of settings I used to get a stable connection from my router to my Mac.
Step 01: Sign in to your Router’s Admin Page
Step 02: Navigate to Wireless or Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings
Step 03: Uncheck ‘Smart Connect’. i.e. Disable the Smart Connect Feature.

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.
