MS Teams always log me out on my Android device

This appears to be a recurring problem, based on my search results on Google. But nothing in the search results led to any solution to the problem.

I have re-installed the app, rebooted the phone, re-logged in, all the RE's it seems. But nothing has particularly helped in my problem. Perhaps, it's the Android app really that's the problem. 

I'm on Android version 1416/1.0.0.2020061103 to be exact.

How To: Transfer iTunes Playlists to USB Hard Drive

This How To applies to either Windows or Mac version of iTunes.

By default, iTunes allows you to burn playlist to a disc. You have the option further to create an audio CD, MP3 CD, or Data CD or DVD. But there's no option to transfer a playlist to a USB drive from the iTunes menus.

But the method is actually a rather simple one. Just open the playlist you like to transfer and select all the music files in the right pane of iTunes, then click and drag to the USB drive window, either in File Explorer for Windows or Finder for Mac.

Share in Blogs with Authority

What Sulit has done in its previous promotions -- i.e., post a badge linking to their website to your blog and you get a chance to win prizes -- is downright easy to manipulate.

It's so easy to create blogs. You can create blogs from left to right, from tumblr to wordpress to blogspot, etc. just to join the contest.  But it's not easy to create a blog that matters.

They should have at least limited their contest participants to those who have blogs that have authority. You don't get exposure -- much less link juices -- from blogs that sprout from out of nowhere, whose authors have no intention of keeping/maintaining. In the first place, they are considered spam blogs! They should include in the mechanics that only blogs with at least a PR of 1 are eligible for the contest.

Creating a Windows Global Keyboard Shortcut (Hotkey)

You have this favorite application that you always access from time to time? You want to quickly access the same by a keyboard shortcut, say Ctrl + Alt + your favorite key, while being at any window at any time?

I used this procedure to quickly access my favorite calculator application, Moffsoft Freecalc, by assigning a global keyboard shortcut of F7.

This article describes how to create a keyboard shortcut for a program in Windows XP. Note that this feature works only with program shortcuts on the desktop or the Start menu. This feature does not work if the desktop shortcut is a shortcut to another shortcut.

Creating a keyboard shortcut

  1. Right-click the desktop shortcut, and then click Properties.
  2. On the Shortcut tab, click in the Shortcut Key box.
  3. Press the keyboard combination that you want to use to start the program. The shortcut combination must consist of one character (a letter, number, or symbol) plus at least two of the following three keys: CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT.
  4. Click OK.
