Take one minute to record your phone's serial number. This may be the one identifying factor if your phone is ever stolen and reset.
 
If you have bad posture and drive a lot, adjust your rear-view mirror so that you have to sit up straight to see through it properly.
 
Take pictures of your receipts from expensive items and email them to yourself. This way you won't lose them and have them at hand for warranty cases
 
When opening a door that could be a pull or push, save yourself embarrassment my looking at the hinges, not the handle. If you can see hinges, it's a pull.

Never pay for extra lives in iPhone games using a simple hack

Many popular mobile games make you pay a fee or wait a certain time in in order to continue playing. Examples include Batman Arkham Origins, Candy Crush Saga and Jelly Splash.

You can remove these annoying artificial waiting times / payments by simply changing the time setting on your device. Once your stamina or whatever is depleted, change your phones date one day ahead and get your stamina back for free. You can then change the time back to normal, but your stamina will still be there.
 
Getting rid of all that junk email

Just do a search in your email for the word 'unsubscribe' and have fun finally decluttering your email and preventing future junk email.
 
NEVER select "recommended setup" when installing software. "Advanced setup" is always the superior option.

When you choose the "advanced setup (not recommended)" it will let you select what you want installed (the software) and what you don't (the malware.) Seems stupid simple, right? That's because it is. It's not an advanced setup. It's the right way to setup software. It requires no advanced knowledge, and anyone with half a brain could do it.
 
Feeling unwell? Two ways to help recover from or dampen the effects of a cold/illness:
1. As a cold is coming on, blend two cloves of garlic and three pears & drink them.
2. When sick, remember BRAT: Bananas, Rice, Apple Sauce, Tea (I also add M. Hint: it helps stunt cancer growth + alleviates physical illness (vomiting) + increases appetite)
