How to Download Instagram Images | 2021

Instagram is used by almost everyone to share pictures on the internet. But it does not offer any direct method to download or even view the uploaded images in full screen. Today we are going to share a trick to download Instagram images from your web browser. Please note that this trick also works for private accounts as long as you are following the account.

Here is how you can download images from any account.

Step 1: Login to your Instagram ID and open the person's account whose pictures you want to download.

Step 2: Open the image that you would like to download. You have to click on 'Go to Post' to open up the image on the page. e.g. We have opened up an image from the account of "poets of instagram".

Instagram page

Step 3: Right click on the image and click on 'Inspect' on the menu. A window similar to the following will appear on your browser in the same page. Here you can see various tags of HTML in right window under the 'Elements' tab. Look for the tag <div class = "_97aPb wKWK0">. Expand this class by clicking on the expand icon as marked in the following picture. Inside this class you will find another class. Keep on expanding every class till you encounter <div class="KL4Bh" style="padding-bottom: 100%;"> In this tag you will find one attribute named "srcset" whose value will be a link. Right click on that link and select "Open in new tab" option from the menu. The full sized image will open up in a new window.

Try out the above method to download the images from private account after you have followed their account.

Facebook, Twitter Ban in India?

Big and scary question for most of us. Will Facebook and Twitter really be banned? Is 25th May 2021 is the last date to access these two social media apps, Facebook and Twitter? Will WhatsApp and Instagram are also under threat?

SOCIAL MEDIA

So many questions with no clear-cut answer!

Before looking for the answers to these puzzling questions, we need to first know what brings these questions up in mind? 

What is making people think that Facebook and Twitter will be banned in India in the first place?

In short, the answer is the conflict between the Govt of India and the social media apps' Authority. 

GoI basically gave an ultimatum back in February that all social media Apps have to follow some particular rules and regulations. They have to abide by the protocols set by the government.

At this point, 25th May 2021 was the last day for those social media Apps to sign that agreement.

Remembering Sokovia accord? (Ignore this joke if you're not much into Marvel Cinematic Universe movies).

Anyway, Facebook(and its subsidiaries, WhatsApp and Instagram), Twitter had neither agreed nor denied the protocols set by the Govt. Only Koo(Made in India) which's said to be Twitter's alternative, had signed or agreed or instead decided to comply with their operations as the Govt suggested.

It's not the first time that any Govt had conflicted with social media, online/offline print media, or other kinds of non-govt organization. From time to time, It's reported that various countries had conflicted with social media. As a result of the dispute, online social news channels were eventually highly controlled or shut down permanently.

In a series of press releases and through social media outlets, IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said, “All social media is welcome, but — no disrespect — there should not be double standards........We will be giving a window of three months of significant social media........ And, the rest will come into effect from the day that these rules are notified...This provision is designed to respect the dignity of the users in India,”. 

So, what's the summary of this? Will those social media Giants deny to comply with their content with the protocols and regulations set by the Gol and leave India?

That's the most unlikely situation as the tech giants like Facebook and its offshoot, Insta, and WhatsApp has a massive and crucial customer base in India. And if that's the case, will there be an extension to the ultimatum, and the tech giants will eventually agree on some negotiated terms between the two.

Stay Tuned for more updates.

How to Access Piratebay on Jio, Airtel or any network | 100% Working

In the last few years, many torrent sites have been taken down. This has impacted a lot of people who could get a diverse range of things in one place. Many mirror sites have been opened in place of the original ones, but now ISPs(Internet Service Providers) have blocked these sites. So what's the solution for this? One way to access these sites is by using a VPN(Virtual Private Network). Today we will see how to access piratebay mirror site using VPN. This trick works on all networks. TechKnowTalkies team has checked it on Jio and Airtel networks.

Part 1: Download the VPN software

Now there is a lot of VPNs available in the market. Many of these VPN services provide free usage, but they come with some limitations. One of the common limitations is the maximum amount of data that can be used in one day. For, e.g., Hotspot Shield limits its data usage to 500MB/day for free users. After using several VPN software, we found that ProtonVPN was most suited for free users. It does not put any cap on the amount of data, unlike other VPN services. Some limitations like only one device can be connected simultaneously, and free servers are limited to three countries only. But that is a small compromise compared to the enormous advantage of no data limit that it provides. And all these limitations can be mitigated with their paid subscription at a nominal charge starting at 4 Euros/month.

You can download ProtonVPN by clicking here. You have to sign up to download the installation file. Once the file is downloaded, finish the installation. Log in using the same ID that you used to download the installation file. You can now see their interface, as shown below.


Click on "Quick Connect," and you will be connected to one of their free servers. Once the status shows connected, you are good to go.

Part 2: Accessing Piratebay

Open your browser and type in the address bar the following URL or click on the link given below:

pirateproxy.wtf

A list of mirror sites will be shown on the site. Click on any one of them to access piratebay mirror site.

pirateproxy



piratebay

As you can see, the site looks exactly like the original piratebay site. Search anything that you want to download on the site's search bar and click on "pirate search." You will be shown a list of results. Select any relevant result and download the file using Utorrent or any other bit torrent client.

Happy downloading!!!

Error :2 : We encourage you to publish your seller information in the Google sellers.json file. Visit the Account settings page to review your current visibility status

What is Blogging or Blogger? 

The Wiki says,
Blogger is an American online content management system (CMS) which enables multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Pyra Labs developed it before being acquired by Google in 2003. Google hosts the blogs, which can be accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be accessed from a user-owned custom domain (such as www.example.com) by using DNS facilities to direct a domain to Google's servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account.

Google Blogger also enabled users to publish blogs and websites to their own web hosting server via FTP until May 1, 2010. All such blogs and websites had to be redirected to a blogspot.com subdomain or point their own domain to Google's servers via DNS. Google Blogger has a wide international user base and is available in more than 60 languages, despite its decline in popularity in the United States.

What is Adsense? 

The Wiki further says,

Google AdSense is a program run by Google through which website publishers in the Google Network of content sites serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to the site content and audience. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google. They can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta-tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2014, Google earned US$3.4 billion ($13.6 billion annualized), or 22% of total revenue, through Google AdSense. AdSense is a participant in the AdChoices program, so AdSense ads typically include the triangle-shaped AdChoices icon. This program also operates on HTTP cookies. In 2021, over 38.3 million websites use AdSense.

Common Error After Adsense Getting Approved

Have you got stuck in this error right after your Adsense got approved from Google?

"We encourage you to publish your seller information in the Google sellers.json file. Visit the Account settings page to review your current visibility status."

Why Fix This?

Blogspot itself answered this question.
Sellers.json is an IAB Tech Lab standard that increases transparency in the ads ecosystem and helps to combat fraud. Sellers.json works through a publicly available file of seller information. Publishers can elect to share their individual name or business name (depending on their AdSense account type) in the file. This gives advertisers a reliable way to discover and verify the identity of publishers.
We encourage you to make your information transparent and allow your individual or business name to be listed. This will help advertisers to verify your inventory. If your information isn't made transparent, advertisers won't be able to see your name, which might impact your revenue.

How to resolve is this sellers.json issue? 

This is basically designed to deal with Inventory management that provides our seller information with sellers.json

Step-1: Click on the option 'Action.'
Step-2: Once it is clicked, a page filled with Adsence Account details will come. Scroll down till you find Seller information visibility. Under that tag, you will be having one item called Select your visibility status.

Step-3: By default, this status value is selected as 'Confidential.' You need to select 'Transparent.'
Step-4: Under the same item, enter your Business domain name or simply your website name. Wait for a few seconds, and your settings will be saved.

You are done.

You can refresh the page, and you will see the error is gone immediately.

Error 1: Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue

Common Error After Adsense Getting Approved

"Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue."

Why fix this?

Adsense support explained in their blog,
Authorized Digital Sellers, or ads.txt is an IAB Tech Lab initiative that helps ensure that your digital ad inventory is only sold through sellers (such as AdSense) who you've identified as authorized. Creating your own ads.txt file gives you more control over who's allowed to sell ads on your site and helps prevent counterfeit inventory from being presented to advertisers.

We strongly recommend that you use an ads.txt file. It can help buyers identify counterfeit inventory and help you receive more advertiser spend that might have otherwise gone toward that counterfeit inventory.

How to Fix ads.txt issues in AdSense


When Blogger shows this Error in the Adsense Approved page, it also suggests the steps to fix this error.

Let us see how to fix this error.

Step 1: Click on the option 'Fix now.' Then the below window will open with the option 'DOWNLOAD'. Click on the 'DOWNLOAD' button, and one text file will be downloaded named, ads.txt
Download Ads.txt

Step 2: If you open the ads.txt file, you can see a few details as shown below. This will have the information of your 16-digit publisher ID as pub-1234567890123456 and some other 16-digit Google tracking ID as abcabcabcabcabca. The pub ID and the tracking ID that is shown here are for demo only.

Ads text file example
Step 3: Now go to Blogger.com and log into your blog.
Step 4: In the left pane, find the option called 'Settings.'
Settings
Step 5: Once you click on the 'Settings,'  some more options will appear. Scroll down till you find the option called 'Monetization.' Enable that toggle button and then click on the 'Custom ads.txt.'

Step 6: Now copy the content of the ads.txt file that you already downloaded before. Now paste that copied text into this place and 'SAVE' that information.
SAVE ads.txt file
You are done now. 

Take a chill pill and relax. As Adsense itself indicates that it might take a few days to reflect this setting in your blog. That means even though the issue is fixed from our side, we can still see this error message for another couple of days.

How to Reduce Data Usage on Windows 10

How to Turn off Background Data for Windows:

How many of us have noticed that windows is consuming data at a rather unusual speed? It's like you are using your mobile data via hotspot for half an hour and BANG! It's finished. It's frustrating that data is consumed even when you are literally doing nothing, thanks to a few processes that run in the background even when windows is idle. Today we are going to see what these processes are and how to get rid of them and save our precious data.

1. Turn off Automatic Updates:

Windows OS is known for rolling out updates every now and then. And with the "Automatic Updates" feature ON by default, it keeps downloading updates whenever your system is connected to the internet. So one way of saving data from being consumed is to turn off these automatic updates. Here, I want to highlight one thing that by turning off automatic updates you are not going to miss out the latest features released for windows. You just have to do them manually whenever you want to. Now let's see how to turn off automatic updates on windows 10.

Step 1-> Click on "Start Menu" and click on "Settings" icon.

Settings Option
Step 2->  In the "Settings" panel, click on "Update & Security" option.
Update and Security

Step 3-> Under the "Update & Security" tab, click on "Advanced options". Inside the "Advanced options" tab you will find a "Pause updates" header. Click on the drop down menu and select the farthest date till which updates can be paused. Voila! Your automatic updates will be turned off for a while. As of now the farthest date allowed is one month from the current date. In addition to this turn off all the options available under the "Update options" header.

Advanced Option

2. Turn off "Background Intelligent Transfer Service":

 There's another background process that is responsible for high data consumption in our system. This process uses the idle bandwidth to transfer data. Do the following to check which process is consuming data.

Press Windows key + R and type "taskmgr". Hit enter. The task manager window will pop up. Click on the "network" header (circled in red) to sort the processes in decreasing order of network consumption. If "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" is consuming high amounts of data, it will be there somewhere at the top. An example is shown in the following image.

Task Manager
Now that you have confirmed that "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" is responsible for the consumption of high amounts of data, it's time to turn it off.

To turn it off do the following.

Step 1-> Press Windows key +R. A dialogue box will appear on the screen. Input "services.msc" in the field and press "Enter".

Run Window

Step 2-> A list of services will appear. Scroll down and look for "Background Intelligent Transfer Service".

Windows Services

Step 3-> Right click on it and select "Properties" from the menu. A window will appear. Select "General" tab in the window. Under "General" tab, go to "Startup type" and click on the drop down menu. Select "disabled" to disable this service. Click on "OK" to apply the changes.


Now you can again open the task manager and check the network consumption of different processes. You will find that the data consumption has significantly reduced after disabling the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service".

Above are two methods by which huge amount of precious data can be saved. Do let us know in the comments if it helps you to reduce your data consumption.
