Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.      Sometimes in Excel, you may want to number a column or perform counting operations. This guide explains how to create a numbered sequence and introduces the SINFO function for additional counting capabilities. Numbering a Column To create a numbered sequence in a column: Type the first three numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3) in consecutive cells, as shown in Figure 1.                         Select these cells, move your cursor to the bottom-right corner of the third cell (the fill handle), and drag it down the column as far as you need. This method works for: Incrementing by ones (1, 2, 3, ...). Negative numbers (e.g., -1, -2, -3, ...). Other increments, such as twos (2, 4, 6, ...) or threes (3, 6, 9, ...). To set a custom increment, enter the first two numbers reflecting the desired step (e.g., 2, 4 for twos), select them, and drag the fill handle. One neat fea...

     Yesterday, the website InfinityTweet was circulating online with various challenges, including finding out your X circle and your X crush. Once again, I’ve been proven right—crushes are a threat to national security and X security.      Due to recent X API changes, Twitter circle generators—where you enter your username to discover your 50 closest X friends—have been disabled. However, the website InfinityTweet has bypassed this by prompting users to enter their password directly on a shady site, generating wild results. For example, the algorithm told one woman on X that she’s “married” to two different people. I don’t know exactly how the website works, but it causes you to follow random people and steals your X password. Make sure to change your password, remove it from connected apps, and have 2fa turned on. Next time, listen to me.  God bless, and Tech Talk to You Later.

          Why does the Vortex V3 exist? The Light Phone targets those who want premium minimalist phones, but the Vortex V3 is a budget flip phone, retailing on Amazon for just $40. Unlike the Light Phone , it runs a semi-full version of Android 11. So, who is this phone for?      While it technically supports Android features, the Vortex V3's skin is clunky, with a frustrating GUI and cumbersome app navigation. The hardware is equally lackluster. Unlike the iconic, though overhyped, Motorola Razr, this phone is made of cheap plastic, resulting in creaky keys. On the plus side, it’s extremely lightweight.       The microphone is surprisingly decent (suggesting good call quality, though I didn’t test it with a SIM card). Still, the phone has flaws: typing is awkward, the camera is terrible, and installing apps is a hassle. So why does this phone exist? Is it banking on Razr nostalgia? The low price? What market is there for...

     I’m obsessed with dial-up networking and remote access, but digging into it is driving me up the wall. Think of Nicholas Adamsworth remotely hacking into the school grade system in 1993, and because the web is dead, it is hard to find information on this technology and to use this technology on modern computers because cEllPhoneS don’t have the bandwidth, and Windows removed features to prevent dial-in access yadayada yada.       Wardialing was like Shodan before Shodan was a thing. You’d hook a PC to a modem and run programs like ToneLoc or PhoneSweep to dial thousands of phone numbers, hunting for modems that answered with that screech. A hit could be a random PC, a corporate server, or even a school’s grade database. But what happened after the connection? How did the computer know what to do? And what software even exists today to try this? Spoiler: it’s grim.  Spoiler, unfortunately, programs like this are not made today, with the on...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.       Sometimes you may want to track your route and export it to view on a map later. Perhaps you're a spy guiding agents to a secret base, a student being chased through the woods behind your school, or simply tracking how many miles you've run. To do this, download the GPS Waypoints and GPX Viewer mobile apps. 1. Open GPS Waypoints and click "Start Path." Then, select the option to "Add Points Automatically." 2. The app will default to tracking your location every 10 seconds, which works well for most cases. For more precision, decrease the interval; for less detail and to save space, increase it. 3. When you're satisfied, click "OK." You can then continue your run, mission, or activity. To stop tracking, reopen the app, click "Finish Path," and then "Save." 4. You'll be taken to a screen where you can export the path. Select the desired path, click the share button, t...

    Did you know your Samsung phone has built-in Snapchat-like filters? Here's how you can access them. Open the AR Zone app and ensure Deco Pic is installed. This offline filter and frame app is pure joy! It reminds me of the fun frames on my old VTech Kiddie Zoom wtach. When I upgraded to a smartphone, having these frames felt nostalgic and awesome.     Once you open Deco Pic, you'll see a toolbar with various modes. You can attach a GIF to your image (though it appears as a still), add a digital Frame around your photo, or use Stamps to place black-and-white text or timestamps on the image.     The most Snapchat-like feature is Masks. Select a filter, and you can change it by altering your facial expressions. To record a video, hold down the camera button; to take a photo, just tap the screen. The photos aren't super high-quality, but they're tons of fun! They save directly to your gallery, so dive in and enjoy your Samsung "Snapchat" experience!

      In the battle between Samsung and Google apps, Samsung usually has the most features. Samsung Files can connect to network shares, Samsung Camera has some interesting modes, and Samsung Gallery has the better AI suite. However, this battle may be different.      Samsung Contacts is the default contact manager application on Samsung phones; however, you can install Google Contacts if you would like. Both show contacts alphabetically and allow you to save them to your device.       Google Contacts, upon launch, displays the contacts, but to call or text them you must tap the contact, then tap the button. However, Samsung Contacts lets you swipe left to call and right to message, making for faster use. Secondly, when touching a contact that only has an email address, Samsung allows you to text them while Google does not. Samsung  Google So far, Samsung is ahead and also takes the lead when adding contacts, allowing you to save to...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article. Sometimes you may want a special ringtone for specific people on your phone. Here's how to do it on Samsung Contacts. 1. Open Contacts, click the contact, and look for the three dots button. 2. Click the dots, then "Change ringtone and vibration," and then "Ringtone." You have some preloaded options; to use a downloaded song, continue reading. 3. To add a downloaded song, click the plus icon, then "Folders." Search for your want and click "Done." God bless and tech talk to you later.

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.      Sometimes, the best way to prove your point or illustrate data is visually, and for that, a chart can be incredibly effective. If you specifically need a pie chart but want to avoid the potential complexities of programs like Excel or Google Sheets, or perhaps you don't want to rely on a web application, there's a simple, free solution you might consider. It's called ‘Free Pie Graph Maker’ (yes, a very creative name, I know!). While you'll notice its interface looks quite dated, the software is still functional for its core purpose. Here's how it generally works: Data Entry: You'll typically find around 12 rows for your data. Input your numerical values (the size of each slice) into the column often labeled 'Y' axis or similar. Then, enter the corresponding text labels for each slice into the 'Description' column. Limitations: Be aware that you usually get a fixed set of about 12 colors f...

     For a long time, I have wondered how people share videos on X with just a tag and no rexeets or reposting/downloads. Large video accounts do this on X and get tons of engagement, and while the question as to where the videos originate and how they are conceived remains a mystery, I think I can help.  I finally figured it out and have created a tool for you. All you have to do is insert the original link of the post into this tool and it will automatically make a copyable, shareable, link. Be sure to tech it out!! God bless and Tech Talk To You Later!! X Video Share Popup Open X Video Share Generator × X Video Share Generator Enter a Twitter/X video URL to generate a shareable link without retweeting. Generate Shareable URL Copy URL Post to X ...

     The internet is going wild for Chinese propaganda with videos of 'mountains' and 'freeways' with people being obsessed with the country for some reason, even though we have the same stuff in the United States, and are not Communist, so that's a plus, if you like freedom and democracy and stuff like that.      We have seen this propaganda also pop up on RedNote, the Chinese app everyone flocked to after the 12-hour TikTok ban, but now it is going more mainstream on platforms like Twitch and X because streamers such as Ishowspeed are literally 'impressed' by China despite (hopefully) knowing it is all fake. What do you think?
