YouTube
Are you tired of scrolling through millions of videos on YouTube to find the exact information you need? 

Or maybe you have hearing difficulties and struggle to follow the audio in videos? 

Don't worry, here's a Cool Tip that can help: YouTube's Show Transcript feature.

Here's how to use it:

Enable the Show Transcript feature
  • Click the three dots that appear in the video's lower right-hand corner, then select Open Transcript. 
    • Note: Not all videos have transcripts.
Read the Transcript
  • Once you have enabled the Show Transcript feature, you will see the video's transcript appear on the right side of the screen. 
  • You can read along with the transcript while watching the video, or you can read it separately to get a better understanding of the video's content.

Customize the Transcript
  • The Show Transcript feature allows you to customize the appearance of the transcript to suit your needs.

  • This is especially helpful for people with visual impairments or who prefer a certain reading style.

Interact with the Transcript
  • In addition to reading the transcript, you can also interact with it. For example, you can click on a specific line in the transcript to jump to that point in the video. 
  • This is especially useful if you need to revisit a certain part of the video or if you want to skip ahead to a specific topic.

    How to Sign Up to Use Google Bard

    Another day.

    Another AI Chat site.

    Google Bard is a new experimental AI chatbot that can help you with a variety of tasks, such as generating text, translating languages, and writing different kinds of creative content. 

    To sign up to use Google Bard, follow these steps:
    • Go to the Google Bard website http://bard.google.com
    • Click on the Join waitlist button.
    • Enter your name and email address.
    • Click on the Submit button.
    Once you have submitted your information, you will be added to the waitlist. 

    Google Bard is currently only available to a limited number of users, but more users will be added over time. 

    If you are added to the waitlist, you will receive an email from Google with instructions on how to create a Google Bard account and start using the service.

    So, is Google Bard any good?

    It depends.

    Google is certainly playing catch-up to Open AI's ChatGPT and Bing's use of ChatGPT.  

    Here's a test from both:

    What Items Should I Bring to a Sword Fight?

    Microsoft Bing:

    Microsoft Bing Chat


    Google Bard:

    The AI Wars will play out over the coming weeks, months and years.  

    Like the browser wars, the winner will reap rewards until the next worthy challenger emerges.

    How to Turn Off Clean Energy Charging on an iPhone

    Slow Charging iPhone
    Is your iPhone slow to charge?  

    It might be due to a quietly introduced new iPhone feature: Clean Energy Charging.

    The clean energy charging feature, introduced in iOS 16.1, is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of your iPhone by charging it when the power grid is using clean energy sources. 

    But that can mean that your iPhone doesn't charge as fast as it can.

    Instead of waking up to a fully charged iPhone, you might see a message that charging will be completed later.

    If you want to turn this new "feature" off, here's how to do it:

    How to turn off Clean Energy Charging
    • Go to your Settings app
    • Select Battery
    • Tap Battery Health & Charging 
    • Toggle off Clean Energy Charging 
    iPhone Clean Energy Charging
    iPhone Clean Energy Charging Can Be Toggled Off

    That's it.  

    Your iPhone will be back to charging normally.
