Experience with free Windows 10 video editor, but...

After I made my article that literally explained about how's my overall experience with that good old Windows Movie Maker that I recently installed it in my current 💻 that I'm using right now, it's time to retrospect it for a bit by explaining about my overall experience of (supposed to be) it's "successor", which used to be available for pure free since I acquired my own 💻 with Windows 10 installed. Without further ado, let me particularly explain about my about my experience with this particular video editor, right away.

Again, just like that old Windows Movie Maker (even if it looked so different compared to that classic version that everybody would know and enjoyed), there's nothing else that I could say to this particular video editor, apart from the fact this used to be available for free from the Photos app, yet according to some random sources online, it was also known as "Microsoft Story Remix". Yes, it also had limited features just like it's own predecessor that I was talking about, but it had several differences between this and that aforementioned video editor, such as:

1. Unlike that old Movie Maker which would you to save any of the edited footages into a project file (.wlmp), this one simply saved the edited footages immediately after you close the project itself. Except, any of the selected media files that I included them into it also copied them into certain folders too (for instance, Libraries > Pictures > Video Projects for both picture and video files for some reason, and Libraries > Music > Video Projects for audio files, respectively). 📁
2. In order to trim or split video footages, it always introduced me to do one of the said ways in it's own separate editing window to do so per each of them both. ✂🎞
3. In order to add either stock music tracks or any of my own music or sound tracks to certain parts of the edited footage (including how I trimmed certain parts of the music or sound tracks itself), it also introduced me to do it in it's own separate editing window to do so. ✂🎵🎶🎼
4. In order to add any of stock title cards (or stock captions) that came with it, it also introduced me to do it in it's own separate editing window to select which one that I'd want among all of those ones that were available in there (including that Comic Sans one, ugh).
5. It had an option to remove black bars on any of my own pictures with (mostly) 4:3 aspect ratio, unlike that old Movie Maker, which didn't have any. 🖼
6. It also had a feature to add certain 3D objects and certain visual effects that came particularly with it, which most of them had their own unique sound effects too.

Even though it did work just fairly decent as what I expected since I initially discovered it, of course there were some flaws that it specifically had during I tried to edit my own videos on it, such as:

1. NO option for adding transitions between two pictures of videos at all... Simple as that.
2. Most of the stock music tracks that came with it were copyrighted. This was occurred in few of my videos that I edited using it with most of those music tracks that I literally added on them. Then, I uploaded them on YouTube, and after few moments later, they were detected if most of those music tracks that I put on them were copyrighted indeed. Not only just that, it also didn't have a feature to trim the music tracks that came with it into specific position of the edited video footage itself, unlike any of my own music tracks that I put on it, which they simply did. ©🎵⚠
3. The edited video footages sometimes stuttered for a little bit during I tried to play the edited footages through it's own preview pane, and it also even led into a black screen for a brief moment.
4. Even if it had cool selection of title cards (or captions), there were no options to customize those texts anyway.
5. No option for adding both fade in and fade out audio transitions for the videos, unlike how it literally had that particular feature for any of my own music or sound tracks that I added them on it.
6. The exporting process sometimes stuck, especially during I tried to export my edited video footages that had certain amount of length and quality that I'd export it to (which I usually set it to 1080p).

After I used it particularly as a simple video editor for roughly 2 years, it eventually omitted for real since the Photos app itself literally updated to it's latest version. Even if the Video Editor app is still present until today, it literally redirects me into the newer Photos app itself without the said video editor itself. Instead, it offered me to install Microsoft Clipchamp, which I already experienced it for a little bit in one of my articles that literally explained about video editors that I ever used on my own current 💻 in general. However, I found out the way to revisit it back by downloading it's own separate legacy version of the Photos itself, but I don't think if I'm able to do so for editing even more of my own videos specifically using it for now... Well, if you also have an experience when it comes to editing your own video footages using one of these, feel free to say your experience with it in the comments section if you still recognize it anyway, albeit it's obviously less memorable than that old Movie Maker. That's it for what I could specifically say to it, and as always, thanks for reading this particular article.

My thoughts about YouTube vs. any ad blockers...⚠

Recently, I received this exact serious warning during I tried to watch all kinds of YouTube videos, specifically on the web version of it with an ad blocker extension that I literally installed in each of my 💻's browsers since several years ago. However, instead of me watching them like it normally should be without all of those video ads, I immediately got greeted with that aforementioned warning where I MUST disable the ad blocker extension itself, otherwise I would ended up violating their own terms of service if I would recklessly doing so... Well, before I explain about this particular situation, I already explained it somehow in one of my older articles that partially explained about dealing with any kinds of random video ads that I ever seen them on YouTube in general (both 💻 and 📱 versions), particularly about any kinds of video ads that I ever encountered on them every single time I watch any YouTube contents.

Before I explain about the current situation about it shortly, let me explain them again particularly about what kinds of video ads that usually appears these days from my perspective (specifically right after I disabled the ad blocker, and so for specifically from our country [ID]), even though I also encountered them in both 📱 and 📺 versions of them too. Ranging from not-so-annoying ones, until all the way to the most annoying ones, so here are my lists of themselves, right away:

a. Not-so-annoying 👌

• Skippable ads from any sort of community centers around our country (such as Qur'an learning centers, certain donations from certain communities, etc.),
• Skippable ads from certain ads that are somewhat relevant to my own content (for this case, air conditioner ads, albeit if they're extremely hard to come by since the last one that I encountered back from few years ago, even if I didn't log in to my own account),
• Skippable ads from certain movie trailers (for this case, movie trailers from Netflix and Prime Video, if I guessed the latter one right),
• Skippable music video ads from random music band performers out there, either from our country or foreign ones, albeit they're somewhat hard to come by from my own perspective (even if I recently listening to certain music videos that I enjoy though), and
• Some random unrecognizable skippable video ads from certain foreign sources, even if they are somewhat uncommon to encounter them randomly.

b. Mid 🙁

• Skippable ads of any modern day video games and certain popular mobile apps (most commonly are the online marketplaces, trading apps, online taxi apps, etc.),
• Skippable ads of any random products that they sell on certain online marketplace (which most of them are usually appears casually on the TVC), and
• Skippable ads of any gadgets (most commonly flagship devices from any popular brands)

c. Annoying 🤬

The answer of it is truly obvious, ANY of the dreaded UNSKIPPABLE video ads. 

Now, "How's your thoughts exclusively about when it comes to this particular current situation where YouTube recently decided to do this indeed, exclusively in the web version of them with their own ad blocker extensions installed on every single users out there?"... Well, there's nothing else that I could particularly say apart from the fact I must deal with them anyway no matter what, apart from the fact it somehow helps each of the YouTuber's revenue for a bit (especially for majority of not-so-popular YouTubers with extremely low income of the said revenue itself per each of the channels around the entire world, including my own channel with ~6K of subscribers). Well, that's one of my assumptions about it then, because there's no absolute difference between those days before they deliberately did this and these days right after they did this on purpose indeed, it's due to the fact my own YouTube's channel revenue keeps dropping down the amount of it's own passive income since roughly last 2 years, thanks to how the overall amount of views on my own entire YouTube channel also severely decreased as well, unlike several of my own videos that I uploaded from more than approximately 3 years ago. Yes, you can watch those of my older YouTube videos that I published from then, but again, that doesn't help by how both of the said revenue and the said views are drastically lowered overtime like so, or on the worst cases, it sometimes eventually doing so all the way down to almost 0, TBH.

Watching an air conditioner ad before I watch my own YouTube videos... (Note: Indonesian languages and this was taken from few years ago, even if I didn't log in to my own Google account though)

As for the ways about how I watch all kinds of YouTube videos from either 💻, 📱, and 📺 platforms these days, there's nothing difference apart from the fact I must deal with all of the ads that are mad commonly appears in there (including many of the unskippable ones, because they do), especially in the beginning or the endpoint of any YouTube videos that I watch (or even those of the mid-rolls, specifically for any of the aforementioned videos that has approximately 8 minutes of length or more). However, I found the way about how come if I can watch majority of them without getting annoyed by all of those ads, except I only did it exclusively in the 📱 version (specifically for Android versions). I couldn't tell you about what kinds of those third-party apps where you can watch YouTube videos without all of those video ads, but most of the apps are literally available out there, and you can even able to log in your own Google account on any of them without any issues (unless if most of the apps just log out once you close the whole app itself though, so be careful for using one of those third-party apps anyway). Even if you can watch YouTube videos without any of those annoying video ads, you definitely somehow deal with plethora of banner ads that are commonly appear in there instead...... or even those of the independent video ads or interactive ads that might appear every single time when you open each of the apps, which most of them are indeed unskippable (you have to wait it for n seconds until the said ads themselves ends, then you can close it either way).

Well, there you have it for the latest update about how's going on with the 💻 version of the YouTube in general, particularly when it comes to dealing with ANY of the ad blockers that are installed in everyone's browsers, including me. I don't know if this might be somewhat helpful for majority of not-so-popular creators or not, because that's definitely the sole reason about how come my own YouTube channel with ~6K subscribers recently has both views and revenue are drastically decreased in past 2 years. If you have some sort of your own "unskippable video ad problems" when it comes to watching any of YouTube videos from your own perspective as an audience, feel free to share your own thoughts particularly about it in the comments section if you're able to. That's it for what I could particularly say about this recent situation exclusively about YouTube, and hope you can pay full attention when it comes to dealing them, otherwise you would ended up violating their own terms of service if you keep recklessly doing so no matter what.

Experience with old Windows Movie Maker...🎞🎬

Note: You must be extremely careful when it comes to searching and downloading this particular old video editing software from various random sites out there. I'm not guarantee if most of them might offer some sort of fake file installers of themselves that contains any kinds of malware that may harm your computer's or laptop's entire operating system instead.

This ain't my filler article that explains about my previous article that explains about the update of the video editing software that I ever used on my current laptop that I'm using these days in general. However, I recently tried yet another video editing software that is pure free (but not trial), and it is literally the previous iteration of that particular free Windows 10 video editor that is now gone, thanks to how they decided to get rid of it in the latest version of the Photos app, unless I'd love to use the Microsoft Clipchamp instead, which I also clearly stated it briefly in the same update article of those video editors that I ever used in my current laptop... Okay, of course you probably mentioned this particular iteration of the said Windows's official free video editor before, the old Windows Movie Maker. Even though I recently use it for a bit for basic video editing (which basically just it), but I already found some of my short results when it comes to how I'm recently using it. So, without further ado, let me explain particularly about my experience with this particular old Windows video editor, right away. 🎞

There's nothing else that I could particularly say to it though, apart from the fact how Microsoft no longer supporting this particular video editing software back in January of 2017. Well, that doesn't stop it by how I was able to search it online by simply downloading the software itself until I found the installer file itself in particular, called "Windows Essentials 2012" (wlsetup.exe). With the old .NET Framework 3.5 that was already installed on my current laptop's Windows 10 operating system by default since I acquired from then (or I did it somehow by downloading and installing it particularly from one of those monthly updates from Windows Update, oh boy), it's not really a big deal for installing it either way (unless if it wouldn't present yet, I must download and install it anyway, otherwise it wouldn't work at all)... There were certain options for installing certain programs that was bundled with the "Windows Essentials 2012", such as Messenger, Mail, Writer, and most importantly, Photo Gallery and Movie Maker. Of course I obviously just chose Photo Gallery and Movie Maker only, because why not. 🎞

Upon I successfully installed and decided to open it, there's nothing else that I could particularly say to it as it works just fairly okay, until I decided to have some fun by importing some of my own photo and video files on the project file. While it literally has limited features unlike majority of the other kinds of video editors that I mentioned in those two of my article that explained about my experience of me using them, it does it's basic job as what I expected for (ranging from all kinds of basic editing that I can deliver on it, until how I'm able to export my edited video footages from it just fine), albeit the UI of it looks so different compared to the beloved classic version that used to exist in everybody's computers or laptops with Windows XP/Vista installed back in those days. Even then, this particular video editor is somewhat better compared to that free Windows 10 video editor that used to exist, thanks to how it obviously has certain features that didn't present in that free Windows 10 video editor, being one of them is the transitions between two photos or videos (albeit you can only set it between from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds though)... Again, it does it's own basic job when it comes to editing my own videos in general, but it does have certain flaws while I'm editing any of my own video footages on it. Those are:

1. It takes a while to import certain video files with higher resolution and larger file sizes.
2. The edited video footage sometimes drop some frame rates while I'm tried to play it through the preview pane, unless I have to "fix" it specifically using two options from the settings of this whole video editor (can you guess about what are those two options that I'm talking about, although if I somehow "fix" it through both of those said options, it eventually leads into another problem where the whole software itself just performs partially unstable).
3. While I put some music tracks or sound effects on the project, it's so awkward while I tried to move those bars around it no matter what.
4. No option for adding shadow effects on the texts.
5. No "Picture-in-Picture" option, and so for how it doesn't have an option to remove black bars on the pictures that I added them on the project.
6. No option for turning the main editing pane from both storyboard and timeline modes, which used to exist in the classic Windows XP/Vista versions of it.
7. While I'm applying certain hefty stuffs to the project that consists of (mostly) certain edited video footages, it sometimes causing the whole program itself to freeze and crash. It also makes the matters worse once it crashed, it sometimes refused to open until I must restart my whole laptop's operating system in order to make it work.

Well, there you have it for my experience of me using this old Windows Movie Maker in general. After that actual riddance of that free Windows 10 video editor, I don't think if I'm able to find yet another free (but not trial) video editing software that may work just decently on my current laptop with it's own modern day 🥔 specifications, just clearly stated as what I already explained in my previous articles about themselves... If you have plenty of good memories when it comes to editing your own video footages using one of these, feel free to say your experience with it in the comments section if your memory still serves them right in your own mind. That's it for what I could say to this, and as always, thanks for reading this particular article. 🎞

SquirrelStampede: The Man Behind His Plants vs. Zombies Toys...🐿

Pretty sure you probably mentioned this particular YouTuber in few of my articles that explains about my own Plants vs. Zombies stuffs, ranging from my main series of my aforementioned collection of themselves (which it only lasted about 4 parts, and that was it), until all the way to how I briefly mentioned this particular legend in few of them. Well, of course I watched almost all of his review videos of themselves since his first review video of them that he published back in 2014, and I obviously fascinated by how he reviewed certain of his toy or figure sets that I always wanted. Without further ado, let me particularly explain about my whole story about how I discovered this particular YouTuber who is well-known for reviewing any sort of Plants vs. Zombies stuffs.

a. First time discovering him...🐿

Courtesy: his YouTube channel

Before I discovered him and his first legendary Plants vs. Zombies toy review that he ever uploaded and published on YouTube in 2014, I casually watched any kinds of Plants vs. Zombies stuffs, ranging from the usual gameplay videos that I encountered from then (which majority of them that I watched were obviously from the original TD game, followed by the earliest days of it's sequel), until all the way to certain IRL collectible stuffs from themselves (which were hard to come by in it's days, unlike how I particularly encountered them since post-2014 and onwards). Everything particularly about how I watched them on YouTube were all that simple, until I found that one upcoming slideshow video from somebody else who featured some of my wanted Plants vs. Zombies mini figures. After that particular video that I watched, I eventually watched the actual review video of the aforementioned set of themselves, and believe or not, it was reviewed by the legend himself, SquirrelStampede! Even though I also discovered certain YouTubers who reviewed them in their hands specifically after he published his own review of them, I had to admit if his review of themselves were the best ones among all of the ones that I ever watched on YouTube, followed by certain other YouTubers who reviewed them in it's days too (for this case, The Review Spot, FGeeTV, Pixel Dan, and etc.). This also made me fascinated by how he acquired even more of Plants vs. Zombies collectible stuffs after his first one that he reviewed it just earlier, and so for his series of "Plants vs. Zombies Toy Play" too.

As for his own channel itself, he also reviewed any collectible stuffs besides Plants vs. Zombies. Those were Super Mario, Pac-Man, Minecraft, some random official Lego sets, and many more. You probably wondering about how come his channel is nicknamed like so, it's because he's literally a squirrel enthusiast (if I'm not mistaken), judging by how he briefly featured certain of his squirrel mini figures and certain toys as his usual cameo in majority of his review videos, including most of his Plants vs. Zombies review videos that I ever watched. 🐿

b. The Plants vs. Zombies sets that he reviewed...🐿

Courtesy: his YouTube channel

Since his first one that he reviewed them back in 2014, there were even more sets that he acquired since then until few years later. Excluding certain of the cheapo Chinese alternative sets or bootleg sets that he got, here are the lists about the official Plants vs. Zombies sets that he acquired for his collection:

1. K'NEX Series 1-5 blind bags (all 8 figures per each of the series [4 plants and 4 zombies, respectively], which the last 2 series were based off from Garden Warfare 2),
2. Various Jazwares sets (both from original TD game and it's sequel),
3. Certain Diamond Select Toys sets (both from original Garden Warfare and it's sequel),
4. Certain K'NEX building sets (Football Mech, Cone Mech, Pirate Seas Plank Walk, Crazy Targets [Garden Warfare 2], Boat Blast [Garden Warfare 2], etc.), and
5. 2015 Burger King toys of the whole franchise itself (limited edition set, and it even included that one mini LCD handheld game among all of them)

c. My interaction with him, and eventually...🐿

Courtesy: his YouTube channel

Believe or not, I actually had plenty of my great moments when it comes to how I enjoying his Plants vs. Zombies reviews particularly since then. Of course I started by commenting on most of his review videos, especially for those of his K'NEX blind bag opening codes. Even though it was all that normal at first, until I somehow "overwhelmed" by all of those replies with either jumbled letters or words (which I realized if most of the people commented like so were done by their infants instead of casually from themselves), or even offense replies specifically for no reason whatsoever (especially in one of his aforementioned review of themselves, and for this case, it was K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 3 blind bag opening codes, because I commented it right after he published that particular video)... Despite all of those messes that they made to me through plenty of them, that didn't stop me to get my own K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies figures on my own collection too, particularly for most of the plant figures that I always wanted the most.

Even though there were plenty of Plants vs. Zombies enthusiasts like I do in his comment section of majority of his reviews of themselves (including that one particular geek that I already mentioned for a bit in one of my older articles that I made it from a long time ago, I think), that also didn't stop me for getting famous in his review videos, and he eventually did it specifically in that one review of two K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 building sets that he did so in 2017. However, I didn't watch it particularly right after he published it due to I always bothered by all of those messes on that one aforementioned review of one of those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies blind bag opening codes that I mentioned just earlier. So, I decided to watch it approximately after more than a year since he published it, and I was surprised by how he literally featured that one picture that I made on one of my Instagram accounts that I own (which obviously consist plethora of my Plants vs. Zombies collectible stuffs), which was this one!

Yep, thanks to the fact I'm also an electric fan enthusiast, he clearly did it because according to himself, it was one of the greatest fan shot that he ever seen so far, although I actually took that particular picture using my old 2010 Nokia feature phone (don't ask me particularly about why I took it using that particular old 🥔). Not only just that, he also liked and commented bunch of my pictures that I posted on the aforementioned Instagram account as well... Now, as for how I decided to take a conversation through direct message chat with him particularly on Instagram, I casually said "Hello" to him, without my own intention of me asking about anything about his legendary Plants vs. Zombies collection in the first place. Well, you probably recognize this exact moment as what I clearly stated in one of my older articles about how I casually met him just like what I stated just earlier, until how I actually got most of my favorite Plants vs. Zombies mini figure that I always wanted straight from him for free, but not all of them though.

🆗, back to where I initially met him through the Instagram's direct chat between myself and himself. After I said "Hello" word casually like what I clearly stated earlier, he immediately offered me to do some free giveaway of his Plants vs. Zombies figure sets exclusively to me, and I obviously requested most of the K'NEX plant figures that I wanted the most, albeit not all of them though (specifically for the ones that I still missed since then until today). It took a while for my conversation between myself and the legend himself, and he eventually sent me several of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies blind bags for free, in addition of one of my most wanted plant figure that was packed in a transparent zipped bag, and even the appreciation note straight from himself. As for the figures themselves per each of the bags that he sent it to me, I already listed them in the same original article about how I specifically did this to him as well.

Well then, there you have it for my greatest moments when it comes to how I discovered this particular legend who is well-known for reviewing certain Plants vs. Zombies collectible stuffs that I always wanted since his debut review of themselves until the last one that he reviewed, unless if certain of his Chinese alternative sets or bootleg sets of them would count, because I simply don't care with those of the said sets that he reviewed them anyway (because I still literally can find them much easier until this day, even with completely different sets that they sell nowadays). In conclusion, his reviews of Plants vs. Zombies sets are the greatest among all of the ones that I ever watched on YouTube, especially for certain ones that I always wanted. It also made it unexpectedly better on me, specifically about how he featured myself in one of his Plants vs. Zombies building set reviews, and followed by how he exclusively offered me by sending some of his Plants vs. Zombies mini figure sets to me for free... To wrap up this particular article, if you also have some good memories when it comes to watching his own contents, specifically about his Plants vs. Zombies reviews, feel free to let me know particularly about it in the comments section if you remembered it though. As always, thanks for reading this particular article, and cheers!

Update on video editors for my YouTube channel of fans...

After I made my original article entitled "Video editors for my YouTube channel of fans" from a while ago, so it's time for the major update about how's going on with the current state of certain video editors that I ever used, specifically on my current laptop that I'm using right now. Even if the video editing software programs are almost similar to what I also explained in my aforementioned titular article about them, they did have some major changes from one way to another, ranging from how it performs in general until all the way to certain tasks that I must do in order to make them survive. There are also some of the brand new ones that I ever used, which I also explain them particularly in here too. Without further ado, here is my latest update about how's going on with those video editing programs that I ever used, particularly dedicated for my YouTube channel of fans (and so for my other channel that I own too, if I needed to):

A. Stock Windows 10 video editor

First off, remember the time I edited majority of my electric fan videos using this particular basic video editor that comes freely with my laptop's current version of Windows 10 since I newly acquired my laptop that I'm particularly using right now? Well, those were the days yet I occasionally use it these days, even if it lacks certain things that video editors usually do have as what I clearly stated in my original article particularly about it... However, every single time I open the app itself recently (which is obviously bundled with the Photos app), it will soon-to-be defunct due to the fact it won't be included soon, even if it's still clearly available at the moment. Instead, they recommended me to install Microsoft Clipchamp once it disappears soon, which I will explain particularly about it later.

B. Capcut

Believe or not, Capcut has it's own PC port particularly about it since last year, because I sometimes edit my own videos literally using the mobile version of it in my current phone. So, I took the opportunity to download it from the official Capcut website, because somebody said it was a perfect video editor dedicated for certain computers or laptops with mostly potato specifications (including my current laptop). I logged in using my own account that was integrated with Tiktok, then I edited bunch of my own electric fan videos using it. The results about how I edited them using it felt 11:12 to that one of Adobe Premiere Pro, albeit with vastly different user interface, which was their obvious ByteDance's pride. It was really a great experience of me using it thanks to how fairly great the results that it delivered on all of my video footages that I edited and exported particularly with it, until I encountered certain amount of problems while I'm specifically editing them with it on my laptop that I'm currently using right now.

You would think if Capcut will work smoothly in my current laptop with it's own specifications that I'm currently using right now? I would say both yes and no. The word "yes", it had plenty of cool features just exactly like the mobile version of it, so I would edit them with it easier, unlike how I had to struggle myself all the time with my fingers particularly on my own phone... On the other hand though, the word "no" literally states about how it performs specifically on my laptop with it's own specifications that it has. It may worked just okay as what I expected, but sometimes it would drop frame rates while I'm playing my own edited videos on it. Well, that's the tip of the iceberg about how it performs then, because it also made the matters WORSE once I updated it to the latest version. It lagged, stuttered, and dropped frame rates frequently than before, which made me nearly impossible to do so. Even the mouse's cursor also partially lagged and stuttered during I tried to edit everything on it too... Which means, the results about how it performed particularly on my current laptop did perform partially similar to how my ancient short lived 13" Dell laptop that I stupidly bought it online in 2020 with Adobe Premiere Pro 2015 that was installed on it, or I tried to run VSDC on my old Samsung laptop right before this one with it's own older potato specifications that it had.

C. Microsoft Clipchamp

Well, this is literally the prime reason about how come if that particular stock Windows 10 video editor that was bundled with it's own Photos app will soon-to-be defunct. Even if I didn't export anything from this particular video editor yet, I ever tried to edit my own video footages briefly in here, and it didn't seem to work that well on my current laptop that I'm using right now, almost exactly in similar fashion to what I did with the Capcut. It also lagged, stuttered and dropped framerates if I put too much pressure into it. Which means, I don't think if I'm able to edit anything on this particular video editor anyway. It also made the matters worse, there are no specific options in order to make it less lagging or stuttering while I'm editing on it at all.

D. Microsoft PowerPoint (2019 version)

(i just made my short animation using it)

Yes, you aren't kidding. Microsoft PowerPoint does have a feature to export any kinds of presentation slides to video files. This particular feature actually existed since the 2013 version of the said program itself (according to the research particularly about it somewhere else). As for my own experience of me using it, I made certain of my presentations in there, both basic presentations, minimalist animations, and enhanced picture slideshows, respectively. In order to make the perfect video out from series of themselves, I must set certain animation timings in all-out full-auto (for example: transitions between two slides, object animations, play audio or video files in specific amount of delay that they have, etc.). Yes, it did export presentation slides just reasonably okay, but it had minor flaws specifically about how I put some music tracks or sound effects on it (minor cut-outs with any kinds of music tracks that I put in there, and minor lags with any kinds of sound effects that I put in there too).

E. VideoPad Video Editor (current version), but...

After I left the older version of it due to the fact I rarely editing my own videos using it from several years ago (despite it would work decently on my current laptop, thanks to how I checked the minimum specifications about the whole video editor itself on it's own official NCH website particularly about it), I decided to revisit it by downloading the current version of it officially from the official NCH website itself, and I took the opportunity to test it by editing my own videos on it in particular. While it performed just fairly okay on my current laptop, and it exports my edited videos just fairly good considered how pretty much on-point this particular basic video editor was, it had one major problem: I actually downloaded the unlicensed trial demo version of the whole video editor itself! Which literally means, I MUST enter a registration code in order to unlock it (or imagine if I'm wealthy, I would buy their full licensed version of the said video editor itself), otherwise I wouldn't even able to use it anyway once the trial expires. That's basically it; there's NO absolute way to use it at all unless if I would able to search the fully unlocked version of the said video editor itself online, or even those pirated registration codes that commonly available everywhere online to casually unlock it, which still didn't keep it anyway once I close it then I re-open it again. F***

Well then, there you have it for my latest update of the video editors that I ever used, dedicated for my YouTube channel of fans (and so for my other YouTube channel that I own too, albeit if I don't have any contents to upload yet at the moment). I don't think if most of them would work properly, specifically for my current's laptop's specification that it has. Not only just those, I also dealt with one of them that was literally unusable in the first place, it's because in order to make it fully usable, I MUST f****** do their own certain pay-to-win feature to do so in their official way. Right now, with all of the flaws that almost all of the video editors that I already tried specifically on my own laptop that I'm particularly using right now, I'm looking for another lightweight video editor that will work just okay on my own laptop with it's own "modern day potato" specifications that it literally has. Anyway, if you already know about the perfect video editors that may work decently on my laptop that I'm using right now, please let me know particularly about it in the comments, unless if you still didn't take a look at the specification of my laptop that I'm currently using it in one of my older articles that I made from roughly 2 years ago... Thanks for reading this update article that literally explained about them, and hope you can pay full attention when it comes to dealing with one or few of those out there with your corresponding computer's or laptop's specifications that do you own, unless if you already purchased certain ones with excellent specifications, which I guarantee if most of them will work just great on your own.

i'm addicted to "braindead" social mobile apps, but...🤳

Before I explain about those social mobile apps that I classified them like so, you may ask me particularly about it, "Do you ever use certain (braindead) popular social apps, especially for those video sharing social medias that are exists these days?" Well, of course I recently do. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to certain of those "braindead" apps out there, especially for any kinds of video sharing social medias that are recently popular, which even beats up certain other social medias that were popular in it's days before these "braindead" apps existed (for this case, YouTube and certain Meta apps, respectively). Without further ado, I do spot two of the "braindead" video sharing social mobile apps that everybody around the world always use them both recently, specifically for everybody from our country. 📱

A. The two "braindead" social medias...🤳

1. TikTok

First off, of course TikTok is being one of them that I classified it as one of those "braindead" video sharing social medias that is recently popular these days. Not only the fact everybody from our country always use this "Tok" by uploading their prides in there (they usually upload certain short videos with remixed copyrighted music tracks), it also has certain other features that makes everybody just totally fascinated with this "Tok", being one of them is how it recently has it's own online marketplace, which also beats up any other online marketplace that are existed out there, thanks to it's own offering to buy any items from there for much cheaper price compared to what the other online marketplaces would offer in their respective platforms (including shipping, but it depends about which item that you will buy though).

As for how I'm particularly using it, I signed my main Google account in here, and uploaded whatever contents that I own in there for various purposes, ranging from archival purposes until all the way to pure fun purposes (because why not). Even if the views on there has less than 100K from all of my contents that I uploaded in there, but I was able to upload one of my videos in there that has more than 10K views! Although I did all of that effort by uploading them, that doesn't comparable by how it has a feature in order to invite friends to "earn money" from it, which I simply don't bother to do it for obvious reasons (if it presents though, because it rarely appears anyway). Lastly, for all kinds of contents that I search in there, I usually search certain contents that I usually seen them on any other social medias that I ever used just before. Even if I'm able to search them, it occasionally shows many of inaccurate results that doesn't match particularly with any of keywords that I exactly typed on it though.

For the online marketplace section that this "Tok" app offers, I ever purchased a random cheap item from it that costed IDR 18.000,-, including the shipping price (which was actually free shipping, fortunately). It has nothing to do with something related to both of my YouTube channels that I own, but I was able to purchase it for very first time on it using cash-on-delivery payment system. As for how I search any items that I want in there, it is somewhat accurate particularly with any of keywords that I exactly typed on it, unlike how I search majority of videos on it.

2. Snack Video

Another one of those "braindead" video sharing social medias that is recently popular these days, which is the Snack Video. This particular "yellow chocolate donut" app by Joyo CS (or it's internal name of the app itself also known as "Kwai Bulldog") also offers the same features almost in similar fashion like that "Tok" app that I mentioned just earlier. Unlike that "Tok" app, it has partially simpler features apart from watching any random contents (mainly videos) by any users out there, because this obviously doesn't have a built-in online marketplace like what that particular "Tok" app did. Instead, it has certain other features besides that one common practice that usually appears in one of these apps that I also explained just earlier. Those are the mini-games, watching ads to earn some coins for approximately 30 seconds in order to get some coins, and even a limited time "lottery" to win a latest iPhone (which is 99,9% highly unlikely to win it in there anyway).

As for how I'm particularly using it, for some reason I signed my other Google account in here instead of my main one, and uploaded whatever contents that I own in almost exact reasons just like what I did with that "Tok" app. As for the other features that this app offers, I even checked in for at least a month in order to get many coins as I can, thus it eventually converted into IDR currency in there every single day, albeit it only costed just IDR 4,- per 200 coins. Just like the "Tok" app, I usually search any kinds of contents that I usually seen them on my other social medias that I ever used, except I only search any of them specifically from our country, because if I tried to search anything outside from our country, it usually doesn't match with any of my keywords that I search on it.

B. Problems with any of these "braindead" apps...🤳

Even though if I recently installed both of those apps in my current phone, there are even more kinds of apps that I found particularly on Play Store, ranging from another one of those video sharing social media apps, games (mainly slot machine games and gambling games), survey apps, novel apps, and so on... Well, after I checked the reviews from each of the apps (or games) that shares this particular trait when it comes specifically about how to earn some money from any of them, several of the people said if either any of the apps or games BARELY withdraw money from any of them, even if they tried to withdraw them LESS than approximately IDR 50.000,- to (mostly) their popular e-wallet apps that they own. They also even said if the withdrawal process on most of the aforementioned apps or games also don't work at all, thus completely wasting their phone's data quota. 📱📶

As for how I ever dealt with one of those apps or games out there, unfortunately I ever installed one of those cheap games that they claimed if they were able to earn some money by simply playing it (for this case, I installed one of those crappy slot machine games). I played the game itself, and I even watch any random video ads in order to get some points, thus the points that I collected there were converted into IDR currency automatically by itself. Until the moment of truth where I tried to withdraw certain amount of money from it to one of my e-wallet apps that I installed particularly in my phone............ it simply didn't work. Seriously, it didn't even withdraw anything even if I put my correct phone number on it that is associated between the game and the aforementioned e-wallet app themselves. So that was it, I ended up uninstalling it off later on. 📱🎰➡❌💰

Another experience that I ever dealt on one of these kinds of apps or games like so (even though you probably ever experienced by one of these, even if I did on one of the two video sharing social apps that I mentioned just earlier), I had to do some sort of daily check-in tier system in one of those apps to get more points (which usually coins) for at least a month. After I successfully did the first phase of it for at least a month of me particularly doing so, suddenly the points of themselves were got lowered overtime, which makes it even harder to earn them entirely. This is possibly due to I didn't even invite any of my friends (or some people that I know out there) in order to use the exact kinds of apps that I used purposely for this to get even more points than just doing it all by myself, but I also felt suspicious if I already suspected if all kinds of process specifically like those were known as one of those popular schemes that most of the people would know when they're dealing with certain of those... It also makes the matters absurdly WORSE by the fact how most of the content creators on YouTube out there just dedicated for making their own tutorial videos of how to earn some money using ANY of those apps or games that they reviewed, which ironically resulting in how they got their own genuine YouTube revenue in their hands with ease thanks to their contents of themselves. On the other hand, it's also a polar opposite for most of the people who tried to use any of those apps or games that most of the said YouTubers taught at each of them per each of the people who tried to do so, which ended up wouldn't work as what they expected for. 📱🎞➡💵❓

Before I wrap up this article, something that is off-topic related to one of these apps (or even other types of apps out there), you may recognize if I mention ads on majority of those apps or games that I mentioned just before. Not just regular video ads, there are some sort of interactive ads that are present in any of them. Pretty sure if I ever explained this kind of topic on some of my other articles about annoying ads that I ever encountered, including the ones that I usually found from one of the mobile games that I usually play these days (of course I don't classify it as one of those "braindead" apps when it comes about how it has a feature to earn some money from it, but it BLATANTLY ISN'T; except it didn't present once I did an in-app purchase of something on it, which automatically removes any random ads from it)... Okay, back to those interactive ads that I was talking about. I always sick by any of those ads that mostly appeared alongside those of the video ads, and I'm concerned particularly about two types of them that bothered me the most. One of them is the popular mobile video game interactive ads, even if I was able to close it thanks to the "X" button that usually appears after few seconds of me WWP-ing (watching, waiting, and playing) it... Another one is the most annoying one that I ever dealt, which I'm spotting about how the F*** that one popular random online marketplace MASS SPAM their interactive ads, including by how they also added them on those kinds of apps (or games) sporadically like so. It also makes the matters worse if most of the ads that they advertise has NO access for closing it apart from the fact you can only ACCESS on the said marketplace itself! Grow up, that one online marketplace's developers and ad spreader m***********s! This is NOT YOUR way for making it way popular than any of those "braindead" apps or games that are existed out there! S*** 😡

Note: Excluding YouTube video ads from themselves (either you can or can't skip them), those ads from the aforementioned online marketplace also appears quite often on other kinds of apps or games that I installed. Even if their simple banner ads are commonly appear on them (which you can ignore them anyway, unless you just accidently tap one of those), but sometimes their dreaded interactive ads are also appears alongside with them, menacingly.

Well, there you have it for how I recently addicted with any of those "braindead" apps, yet majority of them are popular on mobile platforms. Actually, there are even more kinds of apps besides those two of the specific apps that I mentioned above (including games), yet several of them are also still available at the moment in either Android's Play Store or iOS's App Store. However, majority of them has downsides when it comes specifically about how to earn some money from each of those apps (or games). Yes, you can earn some money from any of them, but it is actually difficult as you expect, unless if you must do certain tasks in order to earn them with ease. Unfortunately though, most of them just don't seem to work as what they advertised, which resulting by how most of the people literally dealing with all kinds of technical difficulties from any of those apps (or games) in order to make it work, especially about how absurdly HARD they tried to withdraw some money from each of them, or on the worst cases, it BARELY doing so. Again, I felt suspicious if I already suspected if all kinds of process specifically like those were known as one of those popular schemes that most of the people would know when they're dealing with certain of those... With all of my suspects that I guessed from all of those "braindead" apps (and games), I can safely say that those are NOT definitely the best way to earn some money from them. Yes, you can entertain yourself with certain features in each of the apps (or games) out there, but they actually SUCK BALLS when it comes to earn some money from them, which doesn't even comparable to me waiting for my Adsense for at least approximately several months every turn (or even a year or more, particularly as for nowadays)... So, if you want to earn money quicker than those apps (or games), obviously get a real life job! Or, if you're creative enough yet you also have some sort of good potential from yourself, just become a YouTuber and upload whatever contents that do you want as long as it doesn't break all kinds of YouTube's guidelines. Well then, that's it from what I could say to the topic that I literally explained about those of the popular "braindead" apps (and games), which most of them do have their usual common practice where most of them do have that one feature where you can earn some money from them, which probably doesn't work like what they advertised. Thanks for reading this article, and pay full attention when it comes to dealing one of those apps (or games) out there.

after i moved in to my new house...➡🆕🏠

Not too long after I made my previous article that I clearly explained about the whole progress of how I moved out from my old house into portion of my dad's main workplace, I officially moved into my new compact house shortly after I made my aforementioned article about it just before... Well then, it's time to explain about another progress about how I and both of my parents moved out almost everything from (supposed to be) that particular transit place, until all the way about how we officially settled into my house. 🏠

Before we officially moved into my new compact house, we actually have some negotiation with my dad's whole family in order to set the date particularly about when we will officially moved into my new house, and they decided to set it in June 10th, albeit they already decided it just roughly 2 months before that particular moving day. As the time goes on, I prepared almost everything that I needed in order to use it in my current house. However, I also simply left most of my own items that I didn't need anymore in portion of my dad's main workplace, and so for both of my parent's items that they both need them both for almost exact reason that I mentioned in several items of mine, including larger items such as certain electronic appliances and furnitures. They both also even left that one large horizontal wooden wardrobe in portion of my dad's main workplace, it definitely because that particular wardrobe just wouldn't fit in my new house anyway (yet it also had severe damage on it due to the termite colonies ate some parts of it already). 🏠

Okay, in the moment of truth where I officially moved into my new house, my mom literally told me if she and I were able to settle in here just a day before the aforementioned day that they set them just earlier. Right after I moved everything into here, of course I made a lot of MESS around the whole place, but I was able to organize them later on, assisted with my mom in order to so with slight ease.... Just like good old days where I used to live in my old house, everything was all quiet just like what I expected for, albeit there are only few neighbors who already settle in the whole house complex besides us, clearly because many of the houses in this particular complex where I'm living in are still under construction. Even if most of the houses in this particular house complex are still under construction, I definitely prefer this kind of environment that consists less unwanted noises just like what I used to live in my old house, instead of certain unwanted noises during I was transit in portion of my dad's main workplace which would look and sound unbearable to me (unless if I would deal with the situation and condition of that particular place though)... Yes, I occasionally hear some passenger trains passing by, but it is located just way further compared to what I used to live in my old house (which was located just SO close to the railway, but it wasn't all that bad). Even if there's a small train station nearest from this particular house complex, it still doesn't make any difference about how further the distance between that railway and this particular whole house complex is. 🏠

As for the moving party that was associated about how we already moved in to here (which was held just a day after the aforementioned day where we would officially moved into here), my mom planned to do so by renting certain sound system equipment sets from one of her friends. "Your mom rented one of your mom's friend's sound system equipment sets? I guess she rented it in order to have some karaoke in there..." Exactly! She did so in order to have some party by having some karaoke in here, yet she also invited several of her friends in order to celebrate the aforementioned party itself, and so for my dad and most of his friends too. It was kind of cozy party by singing certain songs that they chose in all kinds of genres that they wanted for. Not only just that, we also prepared a massive amount of food, beverages, and snacks as the complement particularly for the aforementioned party too. 🔊💃🎶🎤

Well, after the said party itself was over, everything was back into our "new normal" in our current home. Even if the overall space is smaller than my old house, we actually somehow still able to do any kinds of daily activities almost like those good old days before we moved out from my old house, by simply dealing with the situation and condition of the whole house itself without any kinds of complaints. With certain inventories that are now present in here (for this case, those are Wi-Fi access point and my brand new flat screen TV, respectively), it makes me feel enough to settle in this such compact place like one of these... As for today, I do feel partially comfortable to live in here just like old times, even if the location of it is way further compared to what I used to live in my previous places before this one. Again, even if I always bother by how the location of it is way less strategic compared to what I used to live just before, this is definitely the best way to settle in without any kinds of economical issues related to the place itself, after all of that negotiation occurred in my final times of us living in our old house last year... Well then, that's my (almost) whole progress of how I officially moved out from that particular transit place into my new house, and thanks for reading this particular article. 🏠

Just out of context related about this article: Imagine if the dreaded 2020 pandemic wouldn't present, I would still able to live in my old house for much longer even if it also had a lot of problems in there, so I would able to meet those neighbors in there for longer too... Nevermind, it definitely wouldn't happen anyway; it's because I actually had a major economical issue that was associated with it just a year before that particular year of ultimate pain began.

after I moved out from my old house...🏠➡🏠

Well, after I clearly explained about how come if I ain't live much longer in my old house anymore, it's time to update about my latest story about how's going on with myself and both of my parents when it comes about the current state of themselves. Well, without any mumbo-jumbo ado, it's time to reveal the said topic about the said situation anyway. 🏠

Before I explain particularly about them shortly, let's take a look at the moment where I started to move out everything from my old house into two locked and loaded locations that I kept mentioning just before. One of them which is obviously the portion of my dad's main workplace (this is literally where I'm temporarily settling in until I officially move out from there), and the other one is obviously my new compact house... As what we already negotiated to the owner of the whole house complex where I used to live near them, they literally exchanged my old house to that aforementioned compact house on another complex, which is located just approximately 4 kilometers away from my old location. Looks and sounds kinda further isn't it? Sure, even if we already recognize about the route about the location of the house complex itself once we got hang particularly with it recently, it takes approximately around 10 minutes of riding (🏍) from my dad's main workplace to the aforementioned complex itself. 🏠

Right, in the moment where I moved out from my old house for real, I literally prepared everything in order to so, ranging from my outfits, my furnitures, my electronics (including all of my electric fans), my own gadgets, and so on. But first, I must transit them in portion of my dad's main workplace, it's because my compact house still lacks certain inventories in there. After I moved almost all of them in the said transit place, it was PAINFULLY exhausted after all of that effort (TBH), yet it also makes it obviously better with ALL MESS of stuffs that we clearly have, which we must organize them to make it slightly spacious. Even if it does have a bit of space in it, most of the parts of this particular place where I'm temporarily settling in still out of space anyway... For almost all of my own items that I own, I specifically put most of them in the "lair" of the aforementioned transit place itself that they already built since several months ago by simply adding a separation wall between it and the main part of the workplace itself. As for both of my parent's items, they both literally put them in the rest space of the place itself no matter how cramped it is once they both filled the said space with them, including those large wooden wardrobes that they both use them as their separator furnitures. Looks and sounds severely awkward to you, but this is only the available space in this particular place ATM.  🏬

As the time goes on, my mom loaned some money from a bank in order to build the mini back porch of my compact house. It took approximately 3 months of building it by 3 separate handymen, and it also costed around IDR 20.000.000,- for doing so, with a bonus about how they also built the separation bare concrete wall borders on both sides of the part of the compact house's front porch itself. It also benefits by how another group of handymen equipping the same awning that used to be installed in the front porch of my old house by modified the size of it to make it fit with the overall space of the compact house's front porch. Unfortunately, even if it does have a front porch with it's current state that it has, she can't advance it further obviously due to the fact she doesn't have enough budget for finishing it anyway. 🏠

To sums up this particular topic, you may ask me particularly like this, "How's the current state of you and both of your parents after you moved out from your old house?" Well, I temporarily settling in portion of my dad's main workplace. Simple as that, even with all of it's glaring weaknesses that this particular place has, but I somehow got hang with the situation and condition of the whole place itself by simply deal with it, especially for constant traffic noises from various vehicles and how my dad always play any kind of music tracks whatever he wants for his work using pair of his speakers as loud as he does (yet every single time when he presents in there)... and so for both of my parents of almost exact reason that I mentioned just before. As of today, it's also close to the time where we eventually moved out from here to that compact house where I'm permanently settling in soon even if still lacks certain inventories in there, but it depends about how well if I can deal with that soon... Only the actual time and truth will reveal about that once it occurs soon. 🏠

Experience with my current Asus phone...📱

So, after a while since I use it as my current daily basis of me heavily using this particular device for roughly 4 years later, it's time to explain my summary of me using it in general since first time I acquired it until today. TBH, there's not much else that I could particularly say to this device as long as it does work just okay, apart from the fact it recently has some tiny problems while I'm particularly using it. Without further ado, let me explain about my overall summary of it either way.

1. General 📱

In case you've wondering of the brand and model of this particular device that I own since 2019, it is branded Asus, and the model name of this particular device is Zenfone Max Pro M1. I purchased it with the highest specifications as ever, which was the one with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, costed around IDR 3.000.000,-... I purchased this because I decided to replace my previous phone of the same brand (Zenfone 5 that I purchased back in early of 2015), because that phone was sort of outdated for certain stuffs. Originally, I wanted the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 version, but it was sold out in every single of the cell phone stores particularly in my hometown, so I picked the M1 instead, yet it was literally the last stock ever in one of the cell phone stores where I purchased it from. It also benefits by how one of my fellow fan enthusiast told me if this one has somewhat better build quality compared to the M2's, by the way.

2. Specifications 📱

• Model : ZB602KL

• Color : Black (even if it's own back door is dark blue)

• OS : Android 8 (originally, but now it runs on Android 9)

• Screen size : 6"

• RAM : 6 GB

• Internal storage : 64 GB

• Processor : Qualcomm Snapdragon SDM 636 (1.8 GHz)

• Camera : 16 MP (back, dual camera) and 8 MP (front)

• MFD : September 2018

3. Results 📱

Unlike my old Zenfone 5, this phone does it's job as what I expected for all kinds of stuffs that I want for it. When it comes specifically about how I open certain apps that has an interaction to connect it to the internet on each of them, it takes much less seconds to open them either way compared to my old one (results may vary on each of the apps, including online games). Not only just those, there are few moments about me having fun with it's own features that it has, so here are my results particularly about them, right away:

• First off, the quality of the camera is fairly better than my old Asus, due to the fact it has two of them on the back. Even if it's better, it has it's own weaknesses where it sometimes produces noisy pictures and videos, and it also sucks when it comes to capturing or recording everything in certain places with less lighting, which causing me force to turn on the flash every single time, which still doesn't help to make it look less noisy. As for the front camera, it's pretty much bog-standard quality without any ability to manually focus on everything, even if it does have a flash on it though. 📸
• Playing games on this phone is slightly better than my old Asus too, including heavier games that normally wouldn't work that well on that said old phone and even my previous Android devices before that one. Albeit if it's mildly laggy and does crash sometimes on each of them, at least it does work just 🆗, compared to what I've done specifically with those old Android devices that I used to have, which kept lagged and crashed like crazy due to poor specifications that they had. 🎮
• Opening certain editor apps (mainly for photo and video editor apps), they do work just okay for all kinds of editing that I want to, even if it looks and sounds somewhat awkward to me particularly in general. 🖼🎞
• Unlike any of my previous Android devices before this one, it has built-in stereo speakers. Even if it still doesn't sound all that good, it does have a headphone jack to plug either earphones, headphones or speakers. 🔊🎧
• The battery of this phone makes a huge difference compared to any of my previous Android devices before this one. While those only lasted for at least around 30 minutes that caused any of them would suddenly shut down by itself regardless of their condition of themselves while they're operating, this one lasts for least a day without shutting down by itself. Well, unless I open certain apps that drains it's own battery life quicker than it should. 🔋

After I used it for roughly 4 years since I purchased it in particular, I encountered some tiny problems while I'm using it. So, here are the said problems that sometimes appear on it, right away:

• It occasionally cuts out the Wi-Fi connection every single time, especially by how I connect it to certain Wi-Fi access points that has excellent speeds (especially for at least ~10 Mbps or more), although it does able to reconnect it back immediately. I have no clue if this particular problem also existed on my older Android devices before this one. For this case, it recently causes one of the background apps that associated with it just crashes when this happens, sometimes. 📶
• Even if it's unrelated to the phone itself, it recently has a weird error where it sometimes "deliberately" refused to install or update any of the apps that I installed on it from Google Play Store while it's processing. When this happens, I have to delete the Play Store's cache and storage through Settings app, if it works though.
• A tiny bug occurring every single time when I update Google Contact app on this phone from Google Play Store, either manually by myself or automatically by itself. When this happens, one of the options in Developer Options just resets by itself once it's finished updating it (for this case, it's the duration of the animation of the whole UI itself).⚙
• It sometimes has a problem where I stored any files to my old 32 GB microSD card that I equipped on it. In most cases, mainly for pictures and videos, the thumbnails of themselves sometimes won't show up, even if I open any of them most of the time I move or copy any of them from certain devices to the said microSD card that I put on this phone. When it occurs, I have to reboot it to make them show up like what it should be. Again, even though this is sort of unrelated to the phone itself, but it sometimes doing so when it comes to transferring my files in such method specifically like so. 

4. Conclusion 📱

This phone is literally my direct upgrade to my previous phone of the same brand, which was Asus Zenfone 5 that I purchased back in 2015. With it's own decent specifications that it has compared to my old one, I can do anything that I want for daily basis exactly like what I expected with it's own features that it has, thanks to it's own specifications that it specifically has... Even though this phone has certain special features specifically like so, of course it leads to some tiny problems while I'm using it after all these years of me heavily using it. Just like my previous Android devices that I used to have, this particular device does have the aforementioned problems that always bothers me to fix them in their such ways per each of them, although it is way less quantity to those on my older Android devices that were well-known for doing so frequently than this; one of them being notorious by how they crashed the apps by all of the sudden that made me enraged. For this case, it does crash some apps or games that I installed on this particular phone if I made something wrong with any of them, but the occurrences by how it doing so is much rare (so that means it's a good sign if this phone does perform better than those, right?).

Just out of context, but this is me testing a Plants vs. Zombies Heroes 🎮 on this particular 📱, taken in 2019...

🆗, enough by how I suddenly explain about that one notorious problem that commonly occurs in every single Android devices, including this phone that I'm using right now... Back to the device itself. Again, there's nothing else that I could particularly say to this as long as it does work just 🆗, even if it does have those of the said tiny problems that it has after all these years of me heavily using it. As for the future plan with it, I feel like I want to upgrade it with much better specifications than that even if it does work just like what I expected for daily basis compared to my older Android devices just before this one, but I don't think if I can do it way sooner due to the fact how broke I am these days, yet I also have no clue about which one that I will get soon..... Only the actual time will reveal the truth specifically about it, but hey, as long as I don't get one of those dodgy Chinese unbranded fake Android dummy phones that they usually boasts crazy flagship specifications for much affordable price (and they're also knockoff from popular brands that always fool every people out there in every single online marketplace), but it turns out if the specifications of themselves are just complete rotten potato which basically performs way worse than my very first Android phone that I ever used (my original Samsung Galaxy Y that I purchased back in 2011).🥔
