Ear Trumpet-What Windows 10 Should have Shipped With!


Do I dare say Windows 10 is damn near perfect OS but there is something that i believed is missing,and that is the ability to control individual sounds.By Individual sounds i mean for example i have Tidal playing and have it set at 67 % and systems sounds are too loud at 67 % and would like to have them at 4 % and Chrome at 100% but there is now way to do that until i discovered this app in the Microsoft App Store!

Microsoft does have an App Store for those wondering and it does have some meh apps  and some gems like  Ear Trumpet.This App has apparently been around since 2016 and frankly this is what Microsoft  10 should have been shipped with.

The latest iteration is:

  • version 2.0.3.0

– Fixed an issue with certain apps (e.g. Sea of Thieves) not appearing correctly – Added additional languages (Arabic, Spanish, Hungarian, Korean, Turkish, and Ukrainian).Its only 26.47MB the install is pretty easy.

Once installed you get this sound icon similar to the stick but with options to set the volume individually!!!!. Plus this App has a 4.5 Rating on Microsoft’s App store.

Ear Trumpet

Minimum Requirements:

Windows 10 x86

Additional Features:

  • Visualize Audio with Multi-Channel Aware Peaking
  • Default playback device management
  • Automatic updates via the Microsoft Store
  • Support for light/dark mode and all accent colors
  • Configurable hotkey
  • Modern context menus
  • Growing multi-lingual support
  • Cairo Shell support

For more information you can visit their Github webpage.

Dont take my word for it,go to the App store and download the app and take it for  a spin.

 

You always remember your First!!


The saying goes that you always remember your first!!  and this strikes the heart when one remembers the Nokia 3310.I remember this was the first Phone my Mom got and boy did  I play the heck out of the snake game.The Ringtones were a delight.

The Nokia 3310 Spawned a lot of Memes about its indestructible nature and is a phone that a lot of people have a fan-like devotion to.These fans will be pleased to learn that Nokia (HMD) has revived the NOKIA 3310.According to Engadget, this little number will launch in matte blue and gray finishes, which sound traditional if a little boring.You can’t beat the 1 month of battery Time that HMD promises you get.

At 50 USD/49 Euro, this is the quintessential trap phone with no GPS, WIFI or an app store.You do get a Color screen though and a completely different snake game.This is clearly not an everyday phone but might find a couple of uses like a rave phone,a beach phone or one you carry when you want to unplug from the world.

HELLO MOTO!!!


The Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus are set to release in March across various countries at various price points. The G5 will launch in a $199 configuration with 2GB RAM/16GB storage, and the Moto G5 Plus will have a $229 2GB RAM/32GB storage option and a $279 3GB RAM/32GB option. They’re unlocked, so you’ll be able to take them to any carrier you’d like.
