00:00:00 You log in to your hotel room, connect to wifi, jump on the bed and post 15 photos of your new view from the window.

00:00:07 Once the initial excitement has passed, you notice a suspicious flashing light on your huge TV.

00:00:13 Could it be that someone is watching you or have you just seen too many spy movies?

00:00:18 There are hidden cameras of all shapes and sizes.

00:00:23 The big ones are easy to spot, but the small ones can be as stealthy as discreet.

00:00:29 They can be hidden behind furniture, in decorations or ventilation nozzles, and anywhere you have trouble noticing them.

00:00:35 There are even special cameras that can be hidden in everyday mobile objects such as alarm clocks, frames, vases and lamps.

00:00:44 Make sure that these objects are not oriented at a strange angle, or that they are not placed in a way that gives you the best view of your bed or bathroom.

00:00:54 The easiest way to spot a hidden camera is to look for the reflection of the lens, because all cameras are equipped with it.

00:01:00 Turn off the lights and slowly scan the room with a flashlight, a laser pointer or a special wireless spy camera detector.

00:01:08 These are equipped with infrared light and lighting.

00:01:12 As soon as you discover a reflective red dot, you must turn on the flashlight to check if there is a hidden camera.

00:01:20 Check the ventilation nozzles and all other holes and gaps in the walls or ceiling.

00:01:25 Some advanced detectors even show what the camera sees, which greatly facilitates tracking and deactivation.

00:01:32 However, these detectors only work on on-camera cameras and are constantly working.

00:01:37 Your mobile phone can also help you to detect these hidden threats.

00:01:42 Turn on Bluetooth and walk around.

00:01:45 Look if unknown devices appear on the screen.

00:01:49 Another idea is to install a network scanning application that displays all devices connected to the Wi-Fi network you use at the hotel.

00:01:56 Once the scanning is complete, study the list to find devices with a name such as "camera IP" or "cam".

00:02:04 In addition, you can put your phone in selfie mode, turn off the light and close the curtains, and look slowly around the room while focusing on the screen.

00:02:14 Keep your eyes open to spot any white or purple light.

00:02:19 You can still play detective, call a friend or a family member and start looking around your room.

00:02:25 Hidden cameras should emit a kind of radio frequency. It is likely that this interferes with the signal of your phone call.

00:02:33 If you start hearing strange noises while you are on the phone in a specific place in your room, inspect it carefully.

00:02:42 Check for switches, power outlets, lamps and other objects that you would normally not pay attention to.

00:02:49 If they look a bit crooked, if they have a hole or if they seem badly placed, it may be a sign that someone has trafficked them.

00:02:56 Many spying devices need wires and the person who installed them must have hidden these wires, often behind a vinyl plate.

00:03:04 This is why the place where the floor and the wall meet is another area to inspect.

00:03:10 Crests, bumps or discoloration can be a sign that a microphone is hiding.

00:03:16 The same goes for stains on the ceiling and walls, even if they are not larger than a coin.

00:03:22 If you find a hidden camera or something suspicious, do not hesitate to inform the hotel or the reservation service.

00:03:29 Do not try to touch or move the device yourself.

00:03:33 If the hotel is not at all, you can contact the police.

00:03:38 After checking that there is no camera in the room, check the mirrors.

00:03:42 Someone could be watching you from the other side.

00:03:45 Start by checking if the mirror is embedded in the wall or if it can be adjusted.

00:03:50 If it is a stainless mirror, it will be embedded in the wall.

00:03:54 You can do a simple test to inspect your mirror.

00:03:57 Press the tip of your finger on the glass and push hard enough to leave a fingerprint when you remove your finger.

00:04:05 Study the fingerprint. If there is a small space between the fingerprint and the mirror, where the glass should be, it is a mirror.

00:04:13 On a stainless mirror, there is no such space.

00:04:16 Another way to check if your mirror is semi-transparent is to tap the glass.

00:04:22 If someone is watching you from the other side, the mirror will emit a hollow sound.

00:04:26 A stainless mirror should look brighter on the other side than yours.

00:04:32 Come closer to the mirror and put your hands in a visor around your eyes.

00:04:35 Do you see light behind the mirror? If so, you may be an inopportune audience.

00:04:41 Before leaving your room or going to bed, make sure that all the doors are closed.

00:04:46 Through each door, you can hear not only the entrance of the room, but also the door leading to the balcony if you have one.

00:04:53 You can bring a portable lock for more security if you are about to go to bed.

00:04:59 You can start a small DIY project and wrap a belt or a strap around the handle that closes the door.

00:05:05 Lock it and wrap it several times for additional protection.

00:05:10 Another idea for a serene nap is to wrap your personal belongings near the door.

00:05:15 Glasses and cups will do the trick.

00:05:18 If someone tries to enter while you are sleeping, there will be noise.

00:05:23 Intruders prefer to remain discreet. It is therefore highly likely that they will immediately give up on you.

00:05:29 If you travel with valuables and you do not feel comfortable leaving them unattended, you can put them in the safe in your room.

00:05:37 But since these safes use access codes instead of physical locks, someone at the hotel must necessarily know the code to unlock it, just in case.

00:05:46 You can therefore bring your own safe. Some are even sold that look like books on the Internet, for example.

00:05:52 They are made of solid metal and textured paper and are equipped with a combination lock.

00:05:56 They usually have enough space to contain your passports, your cash and your jewelry.

00:06:01 If you have to leave your laptop in the room and you want to make sure that no one plugs in a USB key to steal your data, here's what you can do.

00:06:10 Leave a bottle of water or another object next to the USB port.

00:06:13 Measure the distance, assuming it is 1 or 2 cm.

00:06:18 In order for someone to plug their gadget into their laptop, they will necessarily have to move the bottle.

00:06:23 You can go further and place a pen parallel to the laptop at a certain angle.

00:06:28 You can measure the angle with your smartwatch or your phone using the compass app.

00:06:33 Again, if someone moves it, you will know immediately.

00:06:37 Even something as simple as a panel not being disturbed can help you know if someone has entered your room while you were away.

00:06:45 Pretend you left in a hurry and the panel accidentally got stuck between the door and its frame.

00:06:51 If you come back and the panel is freely hanging, it means that someone ignored it and tried to disturb you.

00:06:57 In this case, you can contact the reception and ask if someone is entering the room with you to ensure your safety.

00:07:04 If you care as much about the cleanliness of your room as you do about your personal safety and business, then this advice is for you.

00:07:13 Hotel staff are normally required to clean 20 rooms per 8-hour work day.

00:07:18 This means that they will not have more than 30 minutes to clean your room.

00:07:22 This leaves them enough time to make the bed, clean the floor of the room and the bathroom, empty the trash and dust off all surfaces.

00:07:30 But they rarely have time to take care of small objects such as switches, door handles and drawers or remote controls.

00:07:37 And yes, these are precisely the objects you will be in contact with the most.

00:07:42 They can even receive more germs than toilets.

00:07:45 So if you want to be sure that these germs will not land on your hands,

00:07:49 take enough antibacterial wipes to clean all these objects before touching them.

00:07:54 If you need to cross a river, always make sure it is in the best conditions.

00:08:00 Choose the narrowest point where the current is the least strong and try to avoid deep and fast currents.

00:08:08 If you have the opportunity, prepare sturdy boots and wear a walking stick.

00:08:12 This will prevent you from losing your feet.

00:08:15 When crossing, always face the current while maintaining a slight angle.

00:08:19 If you move in groups, hold on by the arms, this will provide you with additional support.

00:08:25 And if the conditions are too difficult, turn around immediately.

00:08:29 Never try to cross a river at night, it is one of the most dangerous things you can try.

00:08:36 The rip currents are powerful and narrow currents that flow in the direction of the shore through the bathing area.

00:08:42 They represent a huge danger for swimmers.

00:08:45 If you are caught in a rip current, try to stay as calm as possible.

00:08:50 Move parallel to the shore until you escape the current.

00:08:54 After that, swim to the shore.

00:08:57 If you can't get out of this current, just float and call for help.

00:09:02 You can do it by raising an arm and waving your hand.

00:09:06 If you accidentally fall into rapids, immediately grab the first anchor point you see.

00:09:12 Like a tree trunk or a bunch of branches, this could prevent you from being carried further.

00:09:17 Even if you feel that the water is not deep enough, do not get up to try to walk to the shore.

00:09:23 You could be carried away again by the current.

00:09:26 Try to swim along the river while approaching the shore.

00:09:32 Or you can float on your back with your feet pointed down.

00:09:35 This way, your head will be better protected.

00:09:38 Once you reach a quieter area, turn around and swim diagonally to the shore.

00:09:44 If you find yourself at sea and you see a whirlwind approaching you, do not panic.

00:09:50 If you have understood in what direction it is turning,

00:09:53 lean on the edge and use the current of the whirlwind to catapult you out of danger.

00:09:59 If you start to resist it, you risk being sucked into the water.

00:10:02 But there is also a chance that a whirlwind will collapse or become weaker as it approaches the bottom.

00:10:08 So if you are trapped, take a deep breath and wait for a chance to swim up and get away from it.

00:10:15 If you approach the edge of a waterfall and realize that the big dive is inevitable,

00:10:20 take a deep breath just before being rushed into the void and prepare for the fall.

00:10:26 Try to position your body in the same way as you were going down with your feet first.

00:10:30 Squeeze your head in your arms, with your elbows pressed against your nose.

00:10:34 This is a relatively effective way to protect it from the water.

00:10:37 Then contract your muscles and tighten your legs and feet together.

00:10:41 Do not forget to close your mouth and eyes.

00:10:44 Once you reach the bottom of the waterfall,

00:10:47 start to move away from it before even going back to the surface.

00:10:53 If you fell into the water from a ship, first of all,

00:10:56 scrutinize the area around you to see if a floating object has also fallen.

00:11:01 It can be a pool chip or a plastic bottle.

00:11:04 Swim towards this object.

00:11:06 If you are lucky enough to wear a life jacket,

00:11:09 swim aside or practice crawling back at short intervals to save energy.

00:11:14 Once you reach the object, cramp and do not let go.

00:11:18 If you see something visible in the water, keep it.

00:11:22 Yellow, orange or red.

00:11:25 These colors are among the most visible.

00:11:28 They can help rescuers to spot you.

00:11:31 You have to slow down the pace at which your body is cooling down.

00:11:34 You can do this by floating and not swimming.

00:11:37 In calm waters, you can float horizontally with your knees raised against your chest.

00:11:42 If the conditions are agitated, it is better to float vertically,

00:11:46 focusing on not swallowing water.

00:11:50 If you start to shake a lot, the air trapped in your clothes and shoes will spread,

00:11:54 reducing your ability to float.

00:11:56 So stay as still as possible.

00:11:59 Tsunamis often occur after severe earthquakes,

00:12:04 in regions with large water areas.

00:12:06 The most dangerous thing about them is that they move extremely fast

00:12:11 and often flood populated areas without any warning.

00:12:16 The first thing you should do is to move away from the shoreline as much as possible

00:12:20 and find a higher ground.

00:12:22 The best would be to climb at least 30 meters above sea level.

00:12:26 Aiming for large buildings and tall trees to shelter you is not recommended,

00:12:31 but if you have no other option, climb as high as you can.

00:12:35 Finally, if you live in an area subject to tsunami,

00:12:40 plan an evacuation route in advance.

00:12:43 This will help you to recover in a critical situation.

00:12:46 If you fell through the ice in icy water,

00:12:50 try to come back to the edge of the ice.

00:12:52 Do not try to get out by grabbing it.

00:12:55 The edge will continue to break and you will exhaust yourself in no time.

00:12:59 Beat your legs until your body is positioned horizontally in the water.

00:13:04 After that, extract yourself from the water and climb on the ice like a seal.

00:13:08 Once you have reached it, do not get up.

00:13:12 Stay spread out on the ground.

00:13:13 This way, your weight will be distributed over a larger surface.

00:13:17 The ice will be less likely to break.

00:13:20 If you fall off a cliff, do your best to divide your fall into several stages.

00:13:26 The shorter they are, the better.

00:13:29 Each of these segments will absorb part of the impact of the fall

00:13:32 and you will have a much better chance of survival.

00:13:35 Try to hang on to a solid object, like a bush or a rock,

00:13:41 to keep yourself from falling down and slow down your fall.

00:13:43 There is a survival myth that says you should drink a small amount of salty water.

00:13:49 But such a mistake can have dramatic consequences.

00:13:53 Drinking any amount of salty water will cause dehydration.

00:13:57 It is better to drink nothing than to drink this water.

00:14:01 If you are stuck in moving sand,

00:14:05 do everything you can to keep your head and arms above the surface at all times.

00:14:10 Start moving your legs slowly.

00:14:12 The moving sand will fill the space previously occupied by your limbs.

00:14:17 Then, lie on your back.

00:14:19 This will increase the surface of your body.

00:14:21 Keep making small movements until your legs are free.

00:14:25 You can also do back rolls with your arms.

00:14:29 This will help you clear your legs.

00:14:31 Try to move your weight on your right leg

00:14:34 and gently shake your left foot by slowly bringing it closer to the surface.

00:14:38 Once you have succeeded,

00:14:40 place your knee on the surface of the sand in such a way that it supports you.

00:14:44 By moving your weight on your left knee,

00:14:47 gently shake your right leg until you can completely kneel.

00:14:51 After that, move away from the sand.

00:14:54 Make sure not to pull on your legs with too much force

00:14:57 because you could tear your ligaments.

00:15:00 A common idea would be that,

00:15:03 if you find yourself lost in the snow without drinking water at hand,

00:15:07 eating this snow would be the best way to rehydrate yourself.

00:15:10 Unfortunately, this is not true.

00:15:12 Eating snow can speed up your dehydration.

00:15:15 As soon as you put snow in your mouth,

00:15:18 your body must start a process intended to melt it and heat it up.

00:15:23 To do this, you will need to spend a lot of energy

00:15:26 and this will make you lose fluids more quickly.

00:15:29 In addition, consuming snow can cause hypothermia.

00:15:32 This condition is twice as dangerous if you find yourself alone.

00:15:36 There are also chances that snow contains bacteria that can make you sick.

00:15:40 But if you have no other solution,

00:15:43 melt the snow you are going to consume in your hands beforehand

00:15:47 and make sure to consume a snow that does not seem fresh and white.

00:15:51 If you are lost in nature,

00:15:54 find a stream or a small stream and follow it

00:15:57 until it spills into a larger river.

00:16:00 This should lead you to a more developed and inhabited region

00:16:03 where you can get help.

00:16:05 But do not succumb to the myth

00:16:07 that you could drink water if you see animals drinking it.

00:16:11 If you manage to find a water source,

00:16:14 you must first purify it.

00:16:16 Your body is very different from those of animals

00:16:19 and if you do not purify this water before drinking it,

00:16:22 you could get seriously sick.

00:16:24 You park your car in a dark alley,

00:16:29 you lock it with a key and you leave it just a few minutes to go get a coffee.

00:16:34 When you come back, your beloved car is no longer there.

00:16:37 A alarm goes off.

00:16:39 Oh wait, it was just the alarm clock.

00:16:43 Fortunately, all this was just a dream

00:16:46 and you can still make sure it never happens.

00:16:49 First of all, you can install a steering wheel anti-theft system in your car.

00:16:53 It can be a long metal rod that goes over the steering wheel

00:16:57 or a chain lock connected to the belt loop.

00:17:01 These two options are effective in slowing down thieves who could break into your car,

00:17:05 but they do not protect it 100% against attacks.

00:17:08 Thieves can simply detach the steering wheel or even break the lock.

00:17:12 So you have to add a few extra layers of protection to be safe.

00:17:17 Criminals like to use devices that detect signals

00:17:21 and help them steal cars without a key.

00:17:23 For example, if the car is parked in the garage of a private house

00:17:27 or under the windows of a several-story building,

00:17:30 the keys remain accessible thanks to a radio.

00:17:33 Thieves can easily intercept the signal

00:17:37 and the car owner will never notice anything.

00:17:40 To protect your keys from attacks by relay when they are stored at home,

00:17:44 use something metallic.

00:17:46 Just wrap the keys in an aluminum sheet

00:17:49 to block radio signals or keep them in a secure metal box.

00:17:53 Park in well-lit places and equipped with security cameras.

00:17:58 Building and parking entrances are always the best option.

00:18:01 An isolated garage, however, is not always a good idea

00:18:04 because it can be risky from a security point of view for you.

00:18:07 If you are however parked in one of these places,

00:18:10 stay near the guard post or a place where security cameras can see you.

00:18:14 You should always keep the wheels turned to the edge of the sidewalk or wherever.

00:18:18 This will make the task much more difficult for the thief

00:18:21 who would try to steal the car with a cart.

00:18:25 If the thief tries to steal your car,

00:18:27 a criminal will have to perform several additional maneuvers.

00:18:30 This requires time and effort and should therefore demotivate the offenders.

00:18:34 In many cases, it is not your car that the criminals are looking for to steal.

00:18:38 It is rather the new portable computer that you have abandoned on the front seat

00:18:42 or your handbag that seems to be filled with valuables.

00:18:46 It is difficult to resist this kind of temptation

00:18:49 and this often leads to a robbery.

00:18:53 You should always have a spare key to hide your belongings in the trunk

00:18:55 and your vehicle will be less attractive to the criminals.

00:18:58 Never leave your car open without supervision,

00:19:01 even if it is to buy something for a few seconds.

00:19:04 If you have to get out, always start by stopping the engine,

00:19:07 closing the windows and locking the doors. Always.

00:19:10 Keeping the grey card in the car is an excellent way to facilitate the work of the thieves.

00:19:15 They will be able to present it to the police if they are arrested.

00:19:20 The insurance and vehicle identification number can then help them get new keys

00:19:24 to unlock the car without any problem.

00:19:27 If you are not the only person to use your car,

00:19:30 look for a secret place to hide the papers and only speak to people you trust.

00:19:35 You can also take a picture of the grey card and information about the insurance

00:19:40 and store them on your smartphone.

00:19:43 Another option is to make copies of these important documents and keep them with you.

00:19:49 You can also engrave on your windshield, windows and mirrors

00:19:53 the vehicle identification number, VIN.

00:19:56 This service is not expensive, but it will demotivate the thieves.

00:19:59 Indeed, they will have to spend money to change the marked green

00:20:03 and will think twice before attacking your vehicle.

00:20:07 You can also play spies and leave marks on different parts of the car

00:20:11 with an invisible pen or cover it with micro dots with these identification coordinates.

00:20:18 This will not stop the thieves, but it will be much easier to find the car if it is stolen.

00:20:23 If you know you will have to leave your car in a new place

00:20:27 and you think it is not a safe place, hide an old phone or a tablet.

00:20:32 Then make sure you can locate it.

00:20:35 Thus, the "Find my phone" functions will allow you to locate the phone and the car in a few seconds.

00:20:41 You can either get an economic data plan for real-time tracking,

00:20:46 or send it to the GPS. It should work even without a SIM card.

00:20:49 Protect the thieves' side mirrors with special covers.

00:20:53 There are models with locks made of non-cut materials.

00:20:58 The cover will also protect the side mirrors from scratches and scratches

00:21:02 and will extend their lifespan.

00:21:04 In addition, you can show creativity and choose covers with the logo of your favorite team

00:21:09 or another important element for yourself.

00:21:13 You can customize your vehicle with a small budget, right?

00:21:16 Car thieves use different strategies to distract our attention.

00:21:20 A piece of paper stuck on the rear window, a plastic bottle on the steering wheel

00:21:24 or a T-shirt on the trunk of the car.

00:21:27 These little things, among other things, have every chance to get the driver out of his car.

00:21:32 Thieves can also pretend to be nice and helpful

00:21:36 and tell you to park because there is something under your car.

00:21:40 But again, they can make you get out of your car and let it fly quietly.

00:21:44 So instead of getting out, lock the windows and doors

00:21:48 and never get out if there is someone suspicious in the parking lot.

00:21:51 Criminals are not the only ones who can harm a vehicle.

00:21:56 Winter weather conditions can also be a problem.

00:22:00 If you don't want to find your windshield wipers stuck to the windshield

00:22:04 and scratch them every morning, let them rise when you're not driving.

00:22:09 You've probably heard that it's a bad idea

00:22:11 because it damages the arm spring and can make someone steal your windshield wipers.

00:22:15 Don't worry, the springs don't lose their elasticity

00:22:19 and there aren't many people who have them after your windshield wipers.

00:22:23 If you forget to lift the windshield wipers and find them stuck to your windshield

00:22:28 try to get the air conditioning working.

00:22:31 Cold air will melt the windows like hot air.

00:22:34 It works by dehumidifying the air.

00:22:38 If your car is frozen and you can't get in,

00:22:40 use hand sanitizer.

00:22:43 This substance can melt the ice without any problem.

00:22:47 To prevent the windshield from freezing,

00:22:50 mix 3 volumes of vinegar and 1 volume of water

00:22:53 and spray this solution on the windows at night.

00:22:56 This should save time the next morning.

00:22:59 In cold weather, the gas tank should always be more than half full.

00:23:05 Wet air will fill up the entire empty space above the fuel in your tank.

00:23:10 This air will condense into water when it's cold.

00:23:14 The water is denser than the gas, so it settles at the bottom of the tank.

00:23:19 When it accumulates in sufficient quantities,

00:23:22 it passes through the fuel line to the engine, which isn't a good thing.

00:23:27 To protect your car from rust, wash it regularly.

00:23:32 One simple thing can make all the difference.

00:23:35 Dirt damages the transparent protective film of the paint

00:23:40 and allows rust to infiltrate more easily.

00:23:43 Don't forget to wash the car's chassis and wheel arches.

00:23:47 Make sure the paint doesn't crack or peel off.

00:23:51 This layer must protect the vehicle from bad weather.

00:23:55 In cold weather, road salt can also cause rust stains.

00:24:01 To avoid this, you should at least wash the car every week, even in winter.

00:24:05 And above all, don't forget to polish it at least twice a year.

00:24:10 It's another good way to preserve the new look of the paint and protect it from UV rays.

00:24:16 One last important thing.

00:24:18 Always keep the interior of your car clean.

00:24:21 If you spill something inside, you should immediately sponge the liquid.

00:24:25 It shouldn't infiltrate further and touch the metal parts,

00:24:30 because that's how rust is formed.

00:24:32 A simple sponge and baking soda can remove small grease stains,

00:24:39 fingerprints and marks on the walls,

00:24:42 or on any other painted surface, such as furniture and wooden fences.

00:24:46 Just sprinkle a little baking soda on a dry sponge

00:24:49 and rub the mucous membrane in a circular motion.

00:24:52 Then use a clean and dry cloth to wipe the baking soda

00:24:56 to remove any residual dirt.

00:24:59 If you're worried that this technique won't damage your paint,

00:25:01 try a little bit of baking soda first and see how the surface reacts.

00:25:06 If you want to extract as much juice as possible from your lemon,

00:25:09 put it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

00:25:12 Then run it over a hard surface.

00:25:15 And now all you have to do is use your manual grub press.

00:25:19 When you break glass or pottery on the floor,

00:25:22 it can be difficult to distinguish and pick up all these tiny fragments,

00:25:26 especially if the glass is transparent.

00:25:28 Guess what can help you?

00:25:30 A slice of bread!

00:25:32 After removing all the big pieces,

00:25:34 carefully place a thick slice of bread on the floor to pick up these tiny fragments.

00:25:39 It should stay stuck in the bread,

00:25:42 but be careful to do it very carefully or wear protective gloves.

00:25:45 And don't make a sandwich right after.

00:25:48 I'm just saying.

00:25:50 If you're a big garlic lover, here's a tip for you.

00:25:53 Cut a bulb of garlic in half and rub it in an empty bowl

00:25:57 to give it a nice flavour.

00:25:59 Then you can add your pasta, risotto or salad and enjoy a nice meal.

00:26:04 Pringles tubes are made of a mixture of paper, plastic and metal,

00:26:09 which is a good way to organise your condiments.

00:26:12 You can paint the tubes a single colour to match the minimalist style of your kitchen,

00:26:17 and then stick labels on the sides.

00:26:19 Have you ever had trouble putting on a needle?

00:26:22 Here's a good solution.

00:26:25 Put your finger on the table and pass your thread through the hair.

00:26:28 Then gently push the needle down.

00:26:31 The stiff hairs will help you pass the thread through the cat's needle effortlessly.

00:26:35 Once you've reached your goal,

00:26:37 you just have to finish the job by pulling with your fingers.

00:26:40 If the tea has left stains that don't go away when you wash it on your favourite cup,

00:26:44 try applying a little toothpaste on your sponge.

00:26:48 This also applies when you have to make your dirty covers shine.

00:26:53 It's better to use a slightly abrasive sponge.

00:26:55 They are very useful in eliminating the dark spots on the dishes.

00:26:59 Let's say you've just received a very nice bouquet,

00:27:02 but the flowers have taken this sad look in the blink of an eye.

00:27:06 You can extend their lives very easily and almost for free.

00:27:10 First, fill a vase with fresh water and add a few teaspoons of sugar.

00:27:15 This will help nourish your flowers.

00:27:17 Before putting them back in the vase, cut about 1cm from the stem.

00:27:22 Make sure to cut it diagonally like this.

00:27:24 This will increase the water absorption surface.

00:27:28 Repeat this with all the stems, especially the stiff ones.

00:27:32 Put the bouquet back in the vase.

00:27:34 The flowers should be ready in the next 12 hours.

00:27:38 If your feet are cold, put them in a vase.

00:27:41 No, wait, I'm getting my brushes dirty.

00:27:43 Use a hair dryer to warm up your slippers before using them.

00:27:47 This also applies to your winter outdoor shoes.

00:27:51 Speaking of feet, there is a good way to get rid of unpleasant smells.

00:27:56 Apply about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil on 2 cotton balls.

00:28:01 Then place these balls in your shoes and let them rest all night.

00:28:05 In the morning, remove them and enjoy this new exotic fragrance.

00:28:08 You can also mix several of your favorite perfumes to personalize the smell of your shoes even more.

00:28:14 If your evacuation hose is a bit dirty and smelly, there is a great tip to solve this problem.

00:28:20 Put 2 tablespoons of baking soda and pour a little vinegar.

00:28:23 All you have to do is relax and enjoy the show.

00:28:27 The mixture will foam and help to get rid of the dirt.

00:28:30 We all tried to crack a match outside, going windily, and we all failed, unfortunately.

00:28:36 Well, we got the wrong idea.

00:28:38 There is an easy way to prepare a match in advance, using a sharp knife.

00:28:43 Just carefully cut the four corners just below the head of the match.

00:28:48 Repeat the same technique once more to get this result.

00:28:51 These 8 small splinters will create a flame more wind-resistant.

00:28:56 If you have a small hangout with little space to hang new clothes,

00:29:01 remove a few metal pins from the top of your old cans.

00:29:04 They can be perfect suspension loops to fix a second belt.

00:29:08 Just place the ring on the hook, and you can double or triple the storage space on a single match.

00:29:17 If you need to make a candle, you can use an element that you can find in all refrigerators.

00:29:22 Can you guess what it is?

00:29:24 Of course, it's butter.

00:29:26 Cut a piece of chilled butter and place it in a dish that can withstand heat.

00:29:29 Drill a hole in the center with a toothpick or a wooden stick.

00:29:33 Now we need a wick.

00:29:35 You can use a string or an ordinary cotton thread.

00:29:38 Cut the corresponding length and pass it through the hole so that it goes all the way to the bottom of the candle.

00:29:44 Gently coat the end of the butter wick and light your brand new DIY candle.

00:29:49 Use a smoothing iron to remove the folds from your tie.

00:29:53 Or let's say you work in a store and you have to count a liquid silver bill.

00:29:58 The irons will help you quickly iron your silver to distribute it in smaller bills,

00:30:03 which you can then put in your pockets or in your backpack.

00:30:06 Wait, no, that's a no-no.

00:30:08 Wow, this closing is so cool!

00:30:12 It doesn't slide like all the others, but don't rush to throw your coat away.

00:30:16 So take a soap bar and gently rub it from top to bottom against the closing.

00:30:20 Repeat the operation on both sides.

00:30:22 Can you see the difference?

00:30:24 Cut a leg of an old glue and put two long cardboard tubes in it.

00:30:29 Then put it under the door of your room with a tube on each side.

00:30:33 This will protect you against the air currents, because the glue will block the gap under the door.

00:30:40 You can also use this trick when you need to completely cover a room.

00:30:43 Be careful to use thick black glue.

00:30:46 Let's say you're going to a conference in another city and your schedule is very busy.

00:30:52 You can prepare your clothes for each day in advance and store them in different compartments of your foldable storage organizer.

00:30:58 You can then put it in your suitcase, close it and you're ready to go.

00:31:04 When you arrive at the hotel, you just need to carefully take out this organizer and hang it in the closet in two or three movements.

00:31:11 But don't forget to take your shoes with you.

00:31:14 Is there a way to put a nail in a wall without hitting your fingers?

00:31:18 The answer is yes.

00:31:20 Take a comb and stick the nail between your teeth.

00:31:23 This way, your delicate fingers will stay apart and won't risk being hurt.

00:31:28 Once you've stuck the nail in enough, you can gently remove the comb and finish the job.

00:31:34 If you urgently need a metal sponge to wash your pan or your pan without your clothes, use a piece of aluminum foil.

00:31:41 Rub it to make a ball, apply some dishwashing liquid and your sponge is all new and ready.

00:31:47 Now, start rubbing and get ready to be surprised.

00:31:50 It works very well, doesn't it?

00:31:52 By the way, the aluminum foil doesn't need to be new. You can reuse a piece that you've already used to cook.

00:31:58 The last tip is for perfectionists.

00:32:02 If your shower head contains a lot of limestone, the water won't flow down directly.

00:32:07 To fix this, fill a plastic bag with white vinegar.

00:32:10 Then, put the shower head in the bag, tie it with an elastic and leave it to rest overnight.

00:32:16 In the morning, you can rub your shower head with an old toothbrush or even a cloth brush.

00:32:21 This should help to remove the last residue of tartar.

00:32:25 This tip also applies to the head of the taps.

00:32:29 If you have trouble opening a container or a jar, don't make too much effort.

00:32:33 Put the lid under hot water for half a minute, then dry it to hold it well.

00:32:39 And you'll see that it will open like magic.

00:32:42 If you follow a recipe that requires both garlic and onions, add the onions first.

00:32:47 When they become almost translucent, this is the ideal time to add your garlic.

00:32:51 Garlic cooks faster than onions.

00:32:55 Therefore, if you put these two foods in the same pan, the garlic will burn and your dish won't be very good.

00:33:00 Do you like avocados?

00:33:03 Here's how you can easily check if they're ripe or not.

00:33:06 Take a look at the tail of the fruit.

00:33:08 If it comes off easily, it means the avocado is good to eat.

00:33:11 If it doesn't, you should wait a few more days because it's not ripe yet.

00:33:16 Here's how you can know if an egg is fresh or not.

00:33:21 Break it and check the yolk.

00:33:24 If you see that it's surrounded by a white circle and that it's well in the middle, your egg is fresh.

00:33:29 The yolk is also supposed to be voluminous.

00:33:32 If it's flat, it's better not to eat the egg.

00:33:35 If you see that the white part has no clear outline and that your egg is spreading, there's a good chance that it's not.

00:33:41 To evaluate the quality of your eggs, place a raw egg in its shell in a bowl of water.

00:33:47 If the egg stays at the bottom, it's good.

00:33:49 If one of its sides is close to the surface of the water, your egg is not fresh.

00:33:53 But you can still eat it.

00:33:54 But if it floats, it shouldn't be eaten.

00:33:57 You shouldn't brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening in the same way.

00:34:02 It's important to brush your teeth in the morning, but especially to get a fresh breath.

00:34:06 In the evening, you should brush your teeth more carefully.

00:34:09 You'll prevent bacteria from proliferating and protect your gums and teeth.

00:34:13 Speaking of bad breath, here's a good tip to get rid of it in a blink of an eye.

00:34:20 Cucumber slices.

00:34:21 If you don't have a pastry knife, you just need to eat a slice of cucumber to solve this problem.

00:34:27 When you buy natural peanut butter, keep it upside down.

00:34:32 This way, it'll stay very homogeneous.

00:34:35 In addition, its oil will go up, which will make your peanut butter easier to mix.

00:34:41 When you put something down for a little while, say it out loud.

00:34:45 For example, I put my phone down next to my bed.

00:34:49 This way, you'll mobilize several parts of your brain, including those responsible for speech, and you'll remember them better.

00:34:56 You can do the same thing when, for example, you blow a candle.

00:35:00 Disconnect your fan, turn off your kitchen, or take your keys, your wallet, and other objects when you leave your house.

00:35:07 End these little moments of doubt where you wonder if you haven't forgotten anything.

00:35:13 If you visit a friend and you bring something you don't want to forget on your way out, put it next to the keys to your car.

00:35:19 It's impossible to leave without it.

00:35:22 If you have trouble making a decision, play head-to-head.

00:35:26 It's not really about letting the room decide for you.

00:35:30 But while you wait to see the result, your mind will automatically think of the result you really want, but which remains unconscious or unexpressed.

00:35:40 You're at the supermarket and you want to know if a certain pumpkin is good or bad.

00:35:45 Tap on it. Do you feel like it's empty inside? That's a good sign.

00:35:49 As for the outside, it must be hard.

00:35:52 We sometimes throw in foods that are still good, like yogurt that has stratified.

00:35:57 You know that liquid layer on top? It's milk, and it contains nutrients.

00:36:02 Mix your yogurt to make it homogeneous. You can still eat it.

00:36:08 When you buy chicken, make sure there's no liquid around.

00:36:12 For example, if you take the chicken out of your freezer and you see a lot of ice all around, it's better not to eat it.

00:36:18 You're moving into a new apartment or a new house? Start by making your bedroom.

00:36:24 Buy a bed first.

00:36:26 When you're tired of moving and cleaning, you'll want a comfortable place to rest.

00:36:33 Here's a tip that will help you determine if your coconut oil is frothed.

00:36:38 Leave it in the fridge for half an hour. Coconut oil becomes solid at low temperature.

00:36:43 Frothed oils disintegrate and take on a separate layer.

00:36:48 To know if an onion is moldy, just look at what's under the first coat of polish.

00:36:54 You see spots and the polish is discolored? It's mold.

00:36:58 Choose another one and peel it well if you only have one.

00:37:03 It's possible to tell with the naked eye if a lemon is ripe or not.

00:37:07 If its skin is smooth and yellowish, it's ripe.

00:37:10 A greenish hue and pale yellow indicate that it's not ready to be consumed.

00:37:16 If you want to fully enjoy your coffee, it's better to buy seeds and mold them yourself.

00:37:21 Or ask the seller to do it in the store where you buy your coffee.

00:37:26 It's the best way to make sure that the product doesn't contain any of the additives that can be found in an ordinary coffee.

00:37:32 If you're looking for a simple way to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, try this.

00:37:37 Take a clean and empty plastic bottle.

00:37:40 Break an egg in a bowl, squeeze the bottle over the egg yolk and slowly release.

00:37:45 You'll create a hole that will slide the egg yolk into the bottle.

00:37:49 And there you go, the egg yolk and the egg white are separated. And it's easy.

00:37:54 Let's say you've lost an earring or another small object in the house.

00:37:58 Your vacuum cleaner can help you, but don't forget to use a bath.

00:38:02 This way, the object won't get dirty and won't get mixed up with the dust and dirt that's in the bag.

00:38:07 You want to take your favorite lotion on a trip, but it takes up too much space?

00:38:11 You can use a contact lens case.

00:38:14 It's not very bulky and it's a perfect solution for short-term trips.

00:38:20 A hair straightener is an amazingly effective tool for brushing your hair.

00:38:24 Especially if you're not a fan of the classic way of brushing your hair.

00:38:28 To know if a battery is still working, drop it about 15 cm above a table.

00:38:34 If it bounces once and falls, it means it's in good condition.

00:38:38 If it bounces more, it means it's worn or on the point of being.

00:38:42 If your razor doesn't have a cap, you can use a drawing brush to cover its blade.

00:38:49 And to protect the rest of your stuff, if you wrap it with fragile objects or materials.

00:38:54 You can easily differentiate your tools with nail polish, especially if they all look the same.

00:39:00 You won't have to try them all before you find the right one.

00:39:04 When you heat something in the microwave, make a circle in the middle of your dish.

00:39:09 This way, your food will warm up more evenly.

00:39:13 A straw is a nice tool to cut strawberries, don't you think?

00:39:18 A muffin pan is very useful if you want to serve different condiments for your barbecue.

00:39:23 In addition, it will save you time when doing the dishes.

00:39:28 Here's how to protect your credit card from potential scams.

00:39:32 Take a marker and mask the last four digits.

00:39:36 You can also use a sticker that's easy to remove and place on the security code.

00:39:41 Have you ever had a guest who, unfortunately, didn't use his underglass?

00:39:47 Take a dry hair and hold it a few centimeters from the stain.

00:39:51 Plug it in over medium heat for a few minutes to evaporate the stain.

00:39:56 If a discolored stain persists, mix the same amount of vinegar and olive oil in a bowl.

00:40:02 Apply it to the marked area and rub until the stain disappears, then wipe.

00:40:07 Don't waste time to thoroughly remove the burn marks on the bottom of a pan.

00:40:13 Instead, fill it with water and add three tablespoons of salt.

00:40:17 Let it sit overnight to dissolve the cooking residue, and empty the pan in the morning.

00:40:23 This way, it will be much easier to remove all this grease.

00:40:27 Imagine the scene. You're on vacation and your shirt is all wrinkled in your suitcase.

00:40:33 You need it tonight, but the hotel doesn't have iron to iron.

00:40:38 Don't panic. Hang the shirt in the bathroom, and while you're taking a hot shower,

00:40:43 the heat and humidity will cool your shirt.

00:40:46 OK, it won't be perfect, but it'll be much better, and all without any effort.

00:40:52 The football match will start any minute now, and it turns out you don't have a battery for your remote.

00:40:59 You can use a smaller battery instead, which will easily fit inside.

00:41:05 Now, take some aluminum foil and cool it.

00:41:08 Place the aluminum ball in the space on the negative or flat end of the battery.

00:41:13 There you go, you can turn on the TV now.

00:41:16 When your tongs break and the piece of plastic escapes from its hole all the time,

00:41:21 it's probably a sign that you need a new pair.

00:41:24 But there is a way to extend their lifespan.

00:41:28 Put the piece back in its hole, and then attach these kind of clamps that you find on the bread and meat packets.

00:41:34 The clamp will provide enough support for the sandal to stay in place.

00:41:38 You received a package, and the invoice is taped on it.

00:41:43 You managed to detach it from the box, but then how do you take the tape off without tearing the paper?

00:41:48 Grab the two ends of the adhesive tape.

00:41:51 If you pull slowly, the tape will stretch and separate from the paper without tearing it.

00:41:58 Fresh bags are perfect for keeping things dry, but it would be great if they were bigger, wouldn't it?

00:42:04 Take two and turn one of them over.

00:42:07 They can now be attached to each other and form a large bag, large enough to protect a keyboard, for example.

00:42:13 No need to carry your keys in your hand when you're next jogging,

00:42:17 but they're more in your pocket.

00:42:19 Take an elastic and tie it around the pocket inside, so your keys won't fall.

00:42:26 You broke your key in the door. It's stuck in there.

00:42:29 Great! Calling a locksmith could cost you more than a hundred euros.

00:42:33 For a cheaper and faster solution, try using a hot glue stick.

00:42:39 Heat the end with a lighter, and once it's hot enough to melt, insert the glue into the hole in the lock.

00:42:46 The melted glue will enter the available space, covering part of the key.

00:42:52 Once cooled, it will combine and firmly attach to the end of the key, which you can then extract.

00:42:59 If you have to siphon liquid through a pipe and you want to avoid putting it in your mouth,

00:43:06 dip one end in the liquid and hold the other end up with your thumb that closes the top.

00:43:12 Now shake from top to bottom.

00:43:14 This shaking movement will push the liquid up a little more each time.

00:43:20 Once it's reached the top, lower the pipe and let the gravity do the rest.

00:43:24 You forgot your car keys in your locked car.

00:43:28 It's an old model with a mechanical window.

00:43:31 You could take a belt and try to unlock the lock, but it's long and complicated.

00:43:36 Or you can use an adhesive tape.

00:43:39 Make about twenty 60-centimeter-long strips,

00:43:42 stick them on the window, leaving enough room for the tape to grab on the bottom.

00:43:48 Then, with a friend, take the ends of the adhesive tape and, by holding them together, pull the big tape down.

00:43:55 The force exerted will allow the window to lower sufficiently so that you can unlock the door.

00:44:01 When you put large screws in hard wood, it's possible that your old drill isn't strong enough,

00:44:08 which leaves them half-dented before it's ready to go.

00:44:11 So take a block of wax and rub the edges of your screws with it.

00:44:16 The wax acts like a lubricant, it melts when it's hot and makes it easier to pass the screw.

00:44:21 You're out camping, but you don't have anything to bring to light the barbecue.

00:44:26 Take a small, airtight plastic bag, fill it with water and close it carefully, forming a round ball.

00:44:33 Keep it above where you want to capture the sun's light.

00:44:36 The water bag will work like a magnifying glass, lighting the barbecue.

00:44:40 Obviously, it has to be a sunny day.

00:44:45 You've also forgotten your fire extinguisher, where your fire extinguisher broke in half in the mess.

00:44:49 With a lighter, heat the top of the bottle.

00:44:52 The heat will slightly dilate the glass, which will eject the extinguisher from the top.

00:44:57 You've put some superglue on your fingers again.

00:45:01 Take some salt and pour it on your glued fingers.

00:45:04 Put your fingers under the water and rub gently.

00:45:07 The mixture will dissolve the glue and free you in no time.

00:45:12 When you're hooking up a painting, it can be impossible to find the right distance between the wall and the painting.

00:45:17 Place a fork upside down and insert it so that the nail can slide between the central teeth of the fork.

00:45:23 The fork has a long handle separated from the wall, which makes it easier to slide the string of the painting onto the nail.

00:45:30 Once the painting is perfectly balanced, you just need to remove the fork.

00:45:37 You have to put a cake in a box, but if you want to take it out later, you risk damaging it.

00:45:42 Place the lid upside down and place the cake directly on the lid.

00:45:46 This one now serves as a base for the container, which will greatly simplify access to the cake, piece by piece.

00:45:53 You can quickly empty the water from large containers and bottles by forming a whirlpool.

00:45:59 By shaking it in a circle, you'll create a kind of vortex that will allow the air to infuse into the container while the water flows.

00:46:06 It's much faster than the usual method.

00:46:09 There is an easier and less dirty way to remove the shells from a hard-boiled egg.

00:46:15 Once the egg is cooked, break the shell at both ends by tapping it.

00:46:19 On one side, remove the shell by pricking it.

00:46:22 Then blow directly with your mouth on the open end.

00:46:26 The force of the air will push the egg and dilate the shell, which will allow it to come out without damage.

00:46:34 If the hinges on your laptop break, you know that their repair can cost several hundred euros.

00:46:40 A much cheaper solution is to buy a photo frame and stick it to the back of the screen.

00:46:46 You dropped a little jewel on the floor and you think you'll never find it again.

00:46:52 Take a sock and place it on the end of the hose of your vacuum cleaner.

00:46:56 Suck the area well and check the hose regularly.

00:47:00 You'll end up finding your jewel at the end of this one.

00:47:04 You drilled a hole in the wall, but the hole is now too big.

00:47:08 Remove the screw and find a slightly shorter and thinner object.

00:47:12 If you don't have a ankle, pieces of plastic, small wires, trombones or even toothpicks will do just fine.

00:47:19 Slide this object into the hole.

00:47:22 It will fill the space enough for the screw to be reintroduced safely.

00:47:28 When you take out the waste, you may end up with garbage juice on you.

00:47:33 A good way to avoid this is to place old paper at the bottom of the bag.

00:47:37 This not only absorbs all liquids from food and other elements, but also prevents the formation of bad odors in the trash.

00:47:46 Nobody likes mosquitoes and insecticides cost a lot.

00:47:51 A cheap alternative is to take a plastic bottle and cut the top, where it takes the shape of a funnel.

00:47:58 After removing it, turn it over and place it inside the bottle.

00:48:03 Mix two cups of hot water with two tablespoons of sugar.

00:48:07 The insects will be attracted by the preparation inside and will be trapped inside.

00:48:12 All you have to do is sit down and relax without fear of getting bitten.

00:48:19 Let's go! With your best friends, you rush on the highway.

00:48:22 Suddenly, one of them turns off the air conditioning and lowers the windows.

00:48:26 No!

00:48:28 He wanted to help you reduce your fuel costs and he made a classic mistake.

00:48:32 Turning off the air conditioning to let in the breeze is a good thing when you're stuck in traffic jams.

00:48:38 But when you're driving on the highway, it creates a resistance that you would get along with.

00:48:44 Your car will need more energy and you will therefore consume more fuel.

00:48:49 However, when you're stuck in traffic jams, turning off the air conditioning is not a bad idea.

00:48:56 Yes, I know, it's hot and it's not nice, but you wanted to save money, didn't you?

00:49:02 We'll see if you can be sensible. You have the choice between two routes.

00:49:08 One seems short and the other long on your map.

00:49:12 Which one will you choose?

00:49:14 The first one, of course, is a matter of common sense.

00:49:17 But in fact, the shortest route is not always the most fair in terms of fuel consumption.

00:49:21 You have to choose the one with the least stop signs, red lights and traffic jams.

00:49:26 You won't have to accelerate and slow down every two minutes and you'll save money.

00:49:31 So, prepare your route wisely.

00:49:34 Some applications will give you information about traffic in real time, others will tell you where the traffic lights are.

00:49:40 You also have a sandbag, your old inflatable bed, a pair of shoes and five water bottles in your trunk.

00:49:47 It's better to get rid of all that if you want to save money.

00:49:52 By eliminating 45 kilos of useless cargo, you reduce your fuel consumption by about 1% per 4 litres, depending on the weight of your vehicle.

00:50:00 The heavier you are, the more fuel you need. The calculation is simple.

00:50:06 Brake and slow down. Driving at a constant speed of over 80 km/h allows you to save fuel.

00:50:14 Every time you brake or accelerate at red lights, you make your engine work and it gets fuel.

00:50:21 In addition, aggressive driving is generally under-regarded.

00:50:25 So, accelerate slowly and brake gently until you stop.

00:50:29 Don't go from 0 to 100 km/h in one go and don't brake abruptly.

00:50:35 Your speed regulator will help you drive safely on a highway or another flat terrain.

00:50:41 As soon as you approach a hill or a mountain, this same speed regulator makes you consume too much fuel for no reason.

00:50:48 So, disable it and slow down as you go up.

00:50:51 Then, accelerate again slowly when you go down. Your engine will thank you.

00:50:56 Park your vehicle on some streets of your destination.

00:51:02 The next time you go crazy looking for a parking space, you'll understand why.

00:51:08 If you take into account the frustration, the time spent looking for it and, of course, the fuel costs,

00:51:14 you'll see that you can easily park a few miles away from shops, offices or restaurants, depending on the occasion.

00:51:20 Don't wait until the last minute to fill up.

00:51:24 Do it when your tank is three quarters empty or when it's just convenient for you.

00:51:30 This way, you won't have to rush to the nearest gas station in fear of suddenly going flat.

00:51:35 And you'll have time to do some research.

00:51:38 There are apps that tell you the best prices for gas in the area where you are.

00:51:43 Sometimes, it will be a bit far away from your usual routes, but it will never be on the highway.

00:51:49 Once you've chosen the right situation, don't hesitate to ask for something.

00:51:57 Sign up for their loyalty program, download an app, get a card,

00:52:01 all that will allow you to get a discount, points, and benefits.

00:52:05 Some shops are associated with gas stations and will allow you, when you fill up,

00:52:10 to use the points you earned while shopping.

00:52:13 Even a few cents per litre can make a difference, so get in touch.

00:52:18 You have a hybrid vehicle? Then pay close attention.

00:52:22 Turn on your air conditioning when your car is still plugged into the charger.

00:52:26 This will allow you to extend the autonomy of your car, which means you'll spend less money.

00:52:31 If you own one of the latest models, your engine will automatically stop when you wait for a fire.

00:52:38 If this is not the case, avoid letting it run. You'll save fuel.

00:52:42 Waiting for a fire to go green takes between 45 and 120 seconds.

00:52:46 And starting your car takes less than 10 seconds.

00:52:50 If you have to wait more than 10 seconds, stop your vehicle.

00:52:56 By running it, it will consume up to 2 litres of extra fuel per hour.

00:53:01 If safety is not one of your main concerns, at least take care of your car for saving money.

00:53:09 Make sure your tires are well inflated at least once a month.

00:53:13 Without this, they will wear out faster and you risk wasting fuel.

00:53:18 Your manual will tell you how often you have to refuel your engine.

00:53:23 It depends on the age and model.

00:53:25 Clean the filters so that your vehicle consumes as little fuel as possible.

00:53:29 Use appropriate oil. This will prevent your engine from working too much and consuming too much fuel.

00:53:34 It's useless to fill up with super fuel unless you have a very efficient engine that only works with this type of fuel.

00:53:42 It will cost you more and won't allow your car to go faster, be cleaner or get better performance.

00:53:50 If your manual recommends using super fuel but doesn't require it, choose a fuel of lower quality.

00:53:55 You will save extra money.

00:53:57 We have made progress over the last few decades.

00:54:00 So don't worry about the quality of ordinary fuel. It's very good.

00:54:04 If your car is a little old, check the seal of your fuel cap.

00:54:09 If it is damaged, it will let oxygen through your tank.

00:54:12 And then the fuel will burn much faster.

00:54:16 It is possible to replace this cap, but the sensors in your car may not recognize it.

00:54:21 Unless they come from the manufacturer or a good supplier.

00:54:25 If you have a manual gearbox, you are lucky.

00:54:30 You have total control over your speed, i.e. the number of revolutions per minute.

00:54:34 A lower speed is translated into a higher speed.

00:54:38 The higher the speed, the more fuel the engine consumes.

00:54:42 So you have to go quickly to the higher speed.

00:54:45 This varies from car to car, but an optimal solution would be to switch to second gear at about 24 km/h

00:54:52 and to switch to higher speed between 48 and 56 km/h.

00:54:56 The roof box and the bike rack you have installed must disappear.

00:55:01 They increase the wind resistance of your car, and your engine must therefore work harder to maintain its speed.

00:55:07 This can be translated into an overconsumption of 20% on the highway and 8% in the city.

00:55:14 If you need an additional storage space, opt for the roof box.

00:55:19 If you are about to buy a car, opt for an electric hybrid, rechargeable hybrid or all-electric.

00:55:27 With an all-electric car, you will undoubtedly reduce your fuel costs.

00:55:32 But let's say you are not ready for such a change.

00:55:36 In this case, there are many models in hybrid version.

00:55:41 There is the Toyota RAV4, the Hyundai Sonata and the Volvo XC90.

00:55:46 And here is a tip that will allow you to reduce your costs by 100%.

00:55:52 Ready?

00:55:54 Don't take your car. I'll explain.

00:55:57 Do it every time it's possible.

00:56:00 Go to work on foot or by bike or use public transport.

00:56:03 If it's too much for you, at least share the road and fuel costs with colleagues who live in the same area.

00:56:10 Do you know other tips to save fuel?

00:56:13 Which one do you prefer?

00:56:15 Do not hesitate to share it with me in the comments below.

00:56:18 Thanks to the iPhone you have in your pocket, you have got used to surfing the web,

00:56:26 playing games and connecting with your friends on social networks.

00:56:30 What if I told you that there are many more hidden uses and things you can do with it?

00:56:35 Touch the back of the device.

00:56:38 Have you ever seen the beautiful Apple logo on the back of your iPhone?

00:56:41 If you have a shell, go ahead, take it off to see what it is.

00:56:45 Well, you probably think there is no secret in it, the brand logo is obvious on my iPhone.

00:56:53 Of course, it doesn't seem that special, but did you know that it's much more than a simple decoration?

00:56:59 It's also, in fact, a button.

00:57:02 You don't believe me? Try it.

00:57:06 But before touching it as if you were using your phone upside down, you have to adjust your settings.

00:57:11 There is a reason why this very practical function is considered a secret.

00:57:15 First, open your settings, tap on "Accessibility", then on the "Touch" menu,

00:57:20 and go to the bottom of the list, where you will find the "Touch the back of the device" option.

00:57:25 Did you find it? It's perfect.

00:57:28 You can choose the "Double tapping" or "Triple tapping" option, depending on what you prefer.

00:57:34 And above all, you will have a multitude of options to choose from.

00:57:38 You can make the "Touch the back of the device" function take a photo with the camera app.

00:57:43 Alert Siri, change the application, and even take a screenshot.

00:57:47 This will greatly simplify the task compared to the gymnastics of the fingers when you have to take a screenshot.

00:57:52 Set Siri's pronunciation.

00:57:55 Have you ever asked Siri to call a friend?

00:58:00 You may have said, "Siri, call Hermione", so that Siri would answer, "Call Hermione".

00:58:07 Okay, you may not have the best friend in Harry Potter on your contact list,

00:58:12 but we can all agree that it's not the easiest name to pronounce.

00:58:16 Siri may be one of the most intelligent digital assistants on the smartphone market.

00:58:21 And sometimes, he's the smart one.

00:58:24 But the iPhone's companion often has trouble pronouncing the names of the people on the list.

00:58:29 So, he can't pronounce the most common names.

00:58:31 If this bothers you, you'll be glad to learn that you can correct Siri's pronunciation.

00:58:37 The simplest method is to take Siri on the fact and tell him, "That's not how you pronounce it."

00:58:45 This will encourage Siri to ask for the right pronunciation for each name, first name, second name and name,

00:58:51 or the name of a place if it's not a person.

00:58:55 Once you've told him, Siri will give you options, and all you have to do is choose the right one.

00:59:00 If your best digital friend still has trouble, you can help him by calling him.

00:59:06 Open your contacts, select the person Siri has trouble pronouncing, and choose "Modify".

00:59:13 You can add the correct pronunciation in the "Notes" section by using the phonetic pronunciation.

00:59:19 And click on "Call Siri to train Siri to pronounce it correctly."

00:59:24 Even a super-intelligent digital assistant can sometimes need help.

00:59:27 Hey Siri, it's "Levio-sa", not "Levio-sar".

00:59:31 Carrying a toolbox is too cumbersome.

00:59:37 Or maybe you forgot in which drawer you put your meter.

00:59:40 It's not a big deal. The iPhone has other secrets that will be useful to you.

00:59:45 Did you know that the iPhone has in its arsenal a few tools that will meet your needs in terms of menu-making?

00:59:52 The app "Measure", for example. You no longer need this long meter to measure your desk, your library, or your sofa.

00:59:59 The app uses augmented reality to measure the objects around you, using the camera in your phone.

01:00:06 The first thing you have to do is move your phone so that the app can analyze the area you want to measure.

01:00:13 You'll end up finding a white circle with a dot in the middle of your screen.

01:00:19 From there, it's not very different from a real meter.

01:00:22 You just have to align the dot with the corner of the object you want to measure,

01:00:26 and move it to the place where you want the measurement to end.

01:00:30 If you're a builder, you might want to stick to the physical meter for more precise measurements.

01:00:35 This option is not necessarily for professionals.

01:00:38 But the app is excellent for getting an estimate.

01:00:42 The app "Measure" can also be used for "Level".

01:00:46 Simply swipe the "Level" button on the app, and place your phone on the surface you want to measure.

01:00:52 When you get a green screen and a reading of 0, your surface is level.

01:00:58 It's not that different from the "Level" function on the "Measure" app,

01:01:02 so you may have already had some experience with this function.

01:01:06 With your new digital toolbox, your iPhone will make you the most crafty person in the house.

01:01:13 Create a personalized vibration.

01:01:16 Nowadays, we all live at a slow pace.

01:01:19 Whether we're at work, at the movies, or at school,

01:01:23 most of the time, our iPhone is set to vibrate.

01:01:27 Of course, there are some nice sounds to choose from,

01:01:32 but there aren't many occasions when a little music from our pocket doesn't distract those around us.

01:01:39 Or, even worse, when our phone is confiscated by an unhappy employer or teacher.

01:01:44 Fortunately, there are many different options for vibration.

01:01:48 You probably have several for different occasions and different contacts.

01:01:53 None of these options suit you?

01:01:56 Apple also has a solution for that.

01:01:58 Another hidden feature of the iPhone allows you to create a personalized vibration for your alerts.

01:02:04 If you want to feel the rhythm of your favorite song when your best friend calls you or sends you a text,

01:02:09 or when it's time to wake up in the morning, you can create this rhythm on your iPhone.

01:02:13 Once again, you'll have to go to "Settings" then "Sound and Sound"

01:02:19 Choose the tone you want to customize,

01:02:22 tap "Vibration",

01:02:24 then "Create a new vibration".

01:02:26 The next step is to create these 12 vibrations like a DJ without sound,

01:02:32 and tap on the screen until you get the right silent rhythm.

01:02:36 Now you have a vibration option to your liking.

01:02:40 It can even make waking up in the morning easier.

01:02:43 Like the Beach Boys, you'll catch good vibrations.

01:02:47 Picking up good vibrations.

01:02:49 Touchpad

01:02:52 With smartphones, we no longer need two hands to use a keyboard.

01:02:57 A good finger is enough.

01:03:00 However, it can sometimes be a bit annoying because the typos are easy to make,

01:03:04 and all your characters can't stay on this keyboard at the bottom of your phone screen at the same time.

01:03:10 You can be typing a long text and realize that you forgot the "r" in the word "walk" a few sentences further,

01:03:18 which could give your friends a false idea of what you're doing.

01:03:22 Correction can be annoying, and the easiest way is often to erase the whole word and rewrite it.

01:03:29 At least, in theory.

01:03:31 If you're very attached to the grammar in your text messages,

01:03:34 you can switch your keyboard to touchpad mode to make editing easier.

01:03:39 And that's right, another hidden gem in your iPhone.

01:03:42 It's also very easy to access.

01:03:44 All you have to do is keep your finger on the spacebar.

01:03:48 All other keys disappear, and you can move the cursor wherever you want.

01:03:55 All you have to do is remove your finger from the spacebar to keep typing.

01:03:58 Another annoying aspect of typing on the tiny iPhone keyboard

01:04:02 is to change the keypad to use the numbers and symbols.

01:04:06 It may seem like nothing, but it's probably a bit frustrating when you have to go back and forth several times in the same message.

01:04:13 However, there is another hidden function in the keyboard of your iPhone that will help you fix it.

01:04:18 Hold down the key instead of touching the 1-2-3 numeric key.

01:04:24 And the numeric and symbols will appear.

01:04:26 As long as you hold it down, this key will remain open to choose your character.

01:04:30 And by releasing it, you'll go back to the letters.

01:04:33 Soon you'll be fast enough to write a novel on your smartphone.

01:04:37 Have you ever tied a string between two plastic cups to be able to talk to a friend from both ends of your house?

01:04:43 It might have seemed cool to you at the time,

01:04:45 but this plastic cup couldn't tell you the weather or send you an email, could it?

01:04:51 Indeed, we've come a long way since the wireless phone.

01:04:54 In fact, can you imagine life before smartphones?

01:04:57 They've become almost like our clothes or the shoes we walk in.

01:05:01 It's the accessory we use the most.

01:05:04 Now that you know some of these practical secrets, you'll be a pro at the iPhone.

01:05:08 However, if these secrets aren't for you,

01:05:10 it's true, the wireless phone will always remain.

01:05:13 At least it won't run out of battery.

01:05:17 A door that keeps closing while you're moving can be very annoying.

01:05:22 To solve the problem,

01:05:24 tie a rubber band around the handle on each side of the door,

01:05:27 so that it meets at the level of the latch.

01:05:30 The latter will no longer be able to come out, and the door will not open.

01:05:34 To know if your sheets are completely dry after you've spread them out,

01:05:38 place a mirror underneath, leave it there for about 5 minutes,

01:05:41 and if steam comes out of it, it means the sheets are still wet.

01:05:46 A wet bed can be a good place for mold and other unpleasant fungi.

01:05:51 You can paint the edge of your keys with nail polish of different colors

01:05:56 to easily differentiate them.

01:05:59 To pour the perfect amount of oil or salad sauce,

01:06:03 make holes in the lid rather than completely removing it.

01:06:06 This will prevent too much from quickly coming out of the bottle.

01:06:12 To prevent the bandages from slipping off your finger, cut a line on each side.

01:06:16 This will create four small adhesive strips rather than one large one,

01:06:19 and it will be much easier to secure them.

01:06:22 If you enter public toilets and you see that someone has put a red toilet paper under the glass,

01:06:28 it's better to choose another cabin.

01:06:30 This means that there is no toilet paper in this one.

01:06:33 The red toilet paper often replaces the toilet paper roll,

01:06:36 which is also placed under the glass for the same reason.

01:06:40 Speaking of toilets, public toilets often have a space between the floor and the door.

01:06:44 The reason for such a lack of privacy is precisely to minimize it,

01:06:48 as well as the level of comfort so that people don't stay too long

01:06:52 and that there is no waiting line.

01:06:54 It's also easier to clean like this and safer if an emergency occurs.

01:06:58 You forgot to put your drink in the fridge?

01:07:02 Roll up a wet paper towel around it and put it in the freezer.

01:07:06 In just 15 minutes, your drink will be frozen.

01:07:09 Instead of filling your handbag or your wallet with cards of loyalty from different stores,

01:07:15 you can take a picture of them.

01:07:17 Just take a picture of the barcode and a picture of the front to know which card it is.

01:07:22 Then, when you go to your store,

01:07:25 you just need to scan the barcode directly on your phone to collect your points.

01:07:30 If you use your phone to look at something and you have enough of it to put it back because it keeps falling,

01:07:37 try to use your sunglasses.

01:07:39 Just put them upside down and use the clips to hold your phone in place.

01:07:44 If you don't have a coin coin of the right size to put in a cash register the next time you go to the supermarket,

01:07:51 you can use a key instead.

01:07:53 If you have a key with a rounded end, you can insert it in the slot and the register should unlock.

01:07:59 If you have trouble keeping your tacos patties in place,

01:08:04 you can use a muffin tray.

01:08:05 Turn the tray over, spray it with oil and place your patties in the slots.

01:08:09 Cook them for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees to get the perfect crispy patties.

01:08:15 You can use a bottle of water to separate the egg yolks.

01:08:18 Hold the bottle over the yolk and press it to suck it.

01:08:22 Then, just drop it into a separate bowl.

01:08:25 The next time you have trouble cleaning your ceiling fan, use a pillowcase.

01:08:32 Slide the pillowcase over each blade to wipe away the dust.

01:08:35 This way, the excess dust will be trapped inside the pillowcase and won't fall on you.

01:08:41 To clean your mixer, fill it with soap and hot water.

01:08:45 Turn it on for about 10 seconds and let the bubbling water do the work.

01:08:51 Then, just rinse it to make it clean.

01:08:54 Put a strip of masking tape on before drilling a plaster wall.

01:08:59 The tape should prevent the plaster from crumbling or spreading dust all over the floor.

01:09:04 If your shoes smell bad, put a few bags of dry tea inside.

01:09:09 They will absorb the bad smells.

01:09:11 Try using toothpaste to remove the small scratches on the furniture.

01:09:16 Rub a small amount of a small weight on your scratch,

01:09:19 making circular movements until it disappears.

01:09:22 Then, wipe it off with a damp cloth and your furniture will be as new.

01:09:28 Drill two small holes in the bottom of your bin to prevent the bag from getting stuck when you take it out.

01:09:33 The holes prevent the vacuum effect that traps the bag inside.

01:09:37 You can easily remove the residue from the Boko labels by using cooking oil.

01:09:43 Soak a cotton pad in a little oil, then rub it on the sticky area.

01:09:47 Let it sit for a few minutes, then the residue should come off easily.

01:09:52 You can use pre-shampoo to make your new woolen swabs less messy.

01:09:57 Just soak it in water that comes with a few tablespoons of pre-shampoo and leave it for 15 minutes.

01:10:03 Then, just dry it and your swabs will be much more silky.

01:10:07 A smell on your fingers can be removed with a mint toothpaste.

01:10:12 Rub them together with toothpaste, then rinse them well.

01:10:15 This will help you get rid of the smell and will also act as a slight eraser.

01:10:20 Before throwing away your old sneakers, get yourself an old toothbrush and a little toothpaste.

01:10:26 Get the toothpaste into the dirty areas and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

01:10:30 Wipe it with a damp cloth and start over if it didn't work the first time.

01:10:35 Be careful with colored toothbrushes, they can leave stains.

01:10:39 By washing your clothes at a low temperature or even better, by washing them in the cold, you'll make them last twice as long.

01:10:46 By drying them outside on a rope, they'll last as long as if you were using a laundry dryer.

01:10:54 Metal light-closing toothbrushes are very durable, but they get stuck more easily than other types of closures.

01:10:59 Just gently rub a soap on the teeth on both sides of the light-closing toothbrush.

01:11:04 The residue will help lubricate it, making it easier to open and close.

01:11:09 When you can no longer extract toothpaste from your tube, simply cut the end.

01:11:15 This will allow you to put what's left inside on your toothbrush if necessary.

01:11:21 If there's enough for more than one use, put it in a plastic bag for later.

01:11:25 Freezing candles before using them can make them burn much more slowly.

01:11:31 This will cool the wax and prolong the time it takes to melt.

01:11:34 The strings on your cotton swab will hang it somewhere.

01:11:39 And no, you don't need to detach and tighten the bag.

01:11:43 Look at the bottom of the bag, there's a perforated slit.

01:11:46 Tear it off and you can now take out the cotton one by one.

01:11:50 If you've ever tasted a Nintendo cartridge, you can confirm it.

01:11:54 They have a disgusting taste, and leave a bitter aftertaste in your mouth.

01:11:58 That's because they're covered in Benzoate 2D Natonium, one of the most atrocious tastes we know.

01:12:04 In fact, manufacturers add it on purpose to prevent children from swallowing these cartridges.

01:12:09 In a car, the headrests are there for comfort, and the detachable headrests are also there for safety.

01:12:17 If you remove the headrest from the seat, you'll see two fairly solid bars.

01:12:21 If you ever find yourself locked in a car, you can get out of it by breaking the window with these bars.

01:12:26 The rugged edges of the parts are not just a matter of design.

01:12:31 In the past, the parts were made of precious metals to show their real value.

01:12:35 But people denied the edges, spent the parts denied with the same value, and melted the edges to make new parts.

01:12:43 To avoid this, this design was added so that we could know if someone had denied the part.

01:12:48 The black grid on the microwave door is not just decorative.

01:12:53 It's called a Faraday cage, and it prevents the rays from escaping the microwave.

01:12:58 It also speeds up heating, which allows you to quickly enjoy the leftovers from the day before.

01:13:03 The triple handle of a gas canister is there to allow two people to carry it more easily, and to distribute the fuel evenly.

01:13:12 The canisters often have a second hole, which must also be uncovered before pouring the liquid.

01:13:18 Air passage will prevent it from spilling out of the canister, and will avoid any waste of fuel.

01:13:24 If you move the icons of your applications one by one on your screen, try our method and move them all at the same time.

01:13:32 Grab an icon and hold it. Then use your other finger to touch all the other icons you want to move.

01:13:40 There! They are now added to the one you were holding.

01:13:43 Once you have selected them all, move them to the other part of the screen.

01:13:47 It's done!

01:13:48 There is also a faster way to close all your applications.

01:13:52 It is likely that you will slide them up one by one, and sometimes it takes an eternity.

01:13:57 To go three times faster, use three fingers to slide them.

01:14:02 This way, you will delete three tabs at a time.

01:14:06 Sometimes, we lend our phones to someone for some reason.

01:14:10 Yes, it can be quite scary and sometimes even embarrassing when this person checks your phone.

01:14:15 But the situation becomes much cooler once you master this trick.

01:14:19 There is a function of "Guided Access" on your iPhone.

01:14:22 When it is activated, it does not allow the person to leave a defined application.

01:14:27 Go to "Settings", "Accessibility", then scroll down to find the "Guided Access" to activate it.

01:14:34 Activate it and define an access code.

01:14:36 Someone takes your iPhone and tries to unlock it with your face.

01:14:41 If you do not want to allow this, you can simply say "Hey Siri, to whom does this phone belong?"

01:14:46 This command will make sure that Siri locks the "Face" and "Touch ID" functions

01:14:51 and will force anyone who wants to unlock your phone to type the password.

01:14:55 You can disguise any application into something different.

01:15:00 Go to "Settings", click on "+" and tap the panel at the bottom.

01:15:04 Select "Open application".

01:15:07 Click on "Choose", search for the application you want to hide and select it.

01:15:12 Then tap it again.

01:15:14 Add it to your home screen, give it a name and choose an icon image.

01:15:18 You can also hide some of your photos.

01:15:21 To do this, open the photo you want to hide, tap the "Share" button, then tap "Hide".

01:15:27 To find the hidden album, go to "Photos", then "Albums" and scroll to the "Useful" section where you will see the hidden album.

01:15:34 So it is not really hidden.

01:15:37 But if you want it to not appear, you can also hide it better.

01:15:41 Click on "Settings", then "Photos", scroll through the list and disable the "Hidden Album" mode.

01:15:47 To make it reappear, reactivate it.

01:15:49 It is also possible to add legends to your photos.

01:15:52 If you do this, you will not need to scroll through all your photos to find the one you need.

01:15:57 So, if you took a photo of your friend's address, just open the photo, slide it up and you will see the field "Add a legend".

01:16:06 Grab a keyword like "address", then "Finish".

01:16:09 If you need more, instead of scrolling through all your photos, you can simply go to the search field, tap "Address" and the photo will appear.

01:16:18 It is possible to slide and drop a photo in any application.

01:16:22 Just choose it, touch it and hold it.

01:16:25 Hold it and with your other finger, go to another application where you want to send it and drop it.

01:16:31 It is possible to make a photo animate a wallpaper.

01:16:34 Select the photo you like, click on the "Share" button and scroll until "Use as wallpaper".

01:16:40 Define it only as a lock wallpaper.

01:16:43 Lock your phone.

01:16:45 Now you see the image.

01:16:47 Touch it and hold it down and it will start moving.

01:16:51 You take a screenshot of your home screen to show a particular application to a friend.

01:16:56 If you take a simple screenshot, you will have to specify in the message in which range it is.

01:17:02 This is no longer the case. After taking a screenshot, click on it.

01:17:06 When the edit mode is activated, tap the "+" button, then on the magnifying glass.

01:17:11 This feature will add a large circle to your photo to zoom in on a particular space.

01:17:17 Just adjust its size and the degree of zoom forward or backward to enlarge a specific element of the screenshot.

01:17:24 In Safari, it is possible to take a screenshot of the entire page at once and not just the part that is on your screen.

01:17:31 Take a normal screenshot, then tap it to access the edit mode.

01:17:35 In the upper panel, select the "Full Page" function.

01:17:39 You can also choose to frame it if you only want a part of it.

01:17:42 But it's really convenient because you don't need to take multiple screenshots.

01:17:46 You scroll through all the videos on YouTube or photos on Instagram and you go very far down.

01:17:51 No need to go all the way up once you want to go back up.

01:17:54 Just tap the clock in the upper left corner and it will automatically bring you back to the top.

01:18:00 If you fall asleep with music or a podcast, it is possible to schedule a time-lapse so that the reading continues all night.

01:18:07 To do this, just go to the clock, then to the timer.

01:18:11 Set the time, then go to the option when the timer runs out.

01:18:16 Scroll the screen to the end and you will find the "Stop reading" button.

01:18:21 Press it, then tap "Done".

01:18:23 After the time you have set, your audio or video will stop being read in the background.

01:18:28 There are new interesting features in eMessage.

01:18:32 If you want to respond to a particular message with an emoji, you can simply choose the one you need and slide it on the message.

01:18:39 Place it where you want and so the other person will see it.

01:18:43 When you send a message, hold down the "Send" button.

01:18:47 You can choose one of the different animation effects to make it come.

01:18:50 Swipe to the left to browse all the send effects.

01:18:53 Then you can send it and the person will see it the way you chose.

01:18:58 If you want to delete a message you just typed, just shake your phone and confirm.

01:19:03 If you have changed your mind and want to retrieve it, just shake it again.

01:19:08 Another tip is to use numbers.

01:19:11 Indeed, if you have to type a number, you should probably type "123" to access the symbol menu.

01:19:17 Then choose a number and finally tap "Down" to return.

01:19:21 It's quite boring and the good news is that this procedure is not necessary.

01:19:25 Instead, just hold down and hold down the "123" menu.

01:19:29 The numbers will appear and you just have to move your finger to the number you need.

01:19:34 Once you have stopped moving your finger, you will return to the text menu and you can continue typing.

01:19:40 It turns out that you can change the color of your emojis.

01:19:43 Go to "Settings", then "Accessibility", then "Show and size of text", then go to "Color filters" and activate them.

01:19:52 You can choose one of the many color filters and this will totally change the appearance of the color of your device, including the emojis.

01:19:59 There is a way to quickly record your current location.

01:20:02 This can be very useful when you are parking your car and you have to find it later.

01:20:07 Just a few clicks to record it.

01:20:10 So, once you are in a place you want to remember,

01:20:13 just touch and hold the map icon and choose "Mark my location" in the menu that appears.

01:20:19 All your location will be saved and later you will be able to find your way back here.

01:20:24 You can transform a text you see anywhere into text typed on your mobile phone.

01:20:29 Go to "Notes", press this option in the middle.

01:20:32 This will split your screen in two.

01:20:34 Scan the text you want and it will be automatically converted into text in the note.

01:20:39 You probably know that on the side of your mobile phone,

01:20:42 you can put your phone in mute to not hear calls or notifications.

01:20:46 But if there is one or more people you don't want to miss a call, you can disable them all.

01:20:51 To do this, go to your contacts, find the person, touch "Change contact" and activate the "Emergency bypass" mode.

01:20:59 Now, even when the phone is in silent mode, if this person calls, you will hear it.

01:21:04 Some applications constantly follow your movements, others only do so when you use them.

01:21:09 Disable the authorization of location for non-essential applications to save energy.

01:21:15 Restart your phone once a week to prevent its memory from being saturated with useless data.

01:21:21 Which would make it slow.

01:21:22 It is not necessary that your screen is always 100% bright.

01:21:26 You can leave it in automatic mode if you don't want to deal with it constantly.

01:21:29 Otherwise, reduce it a bit because it consumes a large part of the battery.

01:21:33 Use low power mode.

01:21:35 Applications may work a little slower, but your phone will charge faster and spend less charge.

01:21:42 Disable push notifications.

01:21:45 Do it in the settings of the applications and disconnect those you don't want to see.

01:21:49 There are also simple things you can do to make your smartphone last longer.

01:21:53 Don't overload it.

01:21:54 It could overheat your phone, which would not be good in the long run.

01:21:58 Don't charge it in the sun either.

01:22:01 In fact, don't expose your phone to direct sunlight at all.

01:22:05 Keep it cool if you can.

01:22:07 Don't play with it while it's charging.

01:22:09 It's another cause of phone saturation.

01:22:13 The most important thing is to buy a good case.

01:22:15 Order one before you get your new phone.

01:22:19 Imagine that you are leaving the store with your latest generation smartphone,

01:22:23 but you haven't protected it yet.

01:22:26 Suddenly, you stumble and your phone slips out of your hands.

01:22:29 The money you hardly earned goes straight to the trash.

01:22:33 Instead, put on a protective case as soon as you take it out of the box.

01:22:37 Also buy a screen protector film to prevent it from being scratched.

01:22:42 Even if your phone is not completely ruined after a fall,

01:22:45 you could have to pay for its repair.

01:22:48 Don't use a cheap adapter to charge it.

01:22:51 It can damage the battery of your phone.

01:22:54 Over time, the screen of your phone gets dirty, just like its ports.

01:22:59 Take your time to clean the plushes or dirt in the charging port,

01:23:03 the microphone and the speaker grid.

01:23:06 On Saturday, you hang up and realize that you have two days left

01:23:10 before the main family meeting of the year.

01:23:13 Your shopping list is ready and you head to the city's largest supermarket.

01:23:17 You follow the list by hand,

01:23:19 grabbing everything you need as quickly as possible.

01:23:22 The cart is full of fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat, fish, bread.

01:23:27 Wow, it's done.

01:23:29 An hour later, you go home and proudly put the shopping bags back in your grandmother's.

01:23:33 She takes out the items one by one and frowns more and more in front of each of them.

01:23:38 It turns out that the fish and meat you chose are not fresh at all

01:23:42 and that the bananas and vegetables won't last until Saturday.

01:23:45 But your grandmother says she'll make up for it.

01:23:47 You take a good bite so as not to go shopping again empty-handed.

01:23:51 This way, you won't buy things you don't need.

01:23:54 Then you get in the car together to start over.

01:23:58 Doing your shopping wisely means going around the perimeter of the store

01:24:02 where you can find all the fresh and healthy products.

01:24:05 Fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish.

01:24:08 Generally, the central aisles are reserved for the malibu.

01:24:12 So you decide to skip them completely.

01:24:14 Your first stop is the fruit and vegetable section.

01:24:17 Your grandmother says this is where you should spend the most time.

01:24:20 And it's a good thing you got there before lunch.

01:24:23 Most stores have fresh products when they just opened

01:24:27 or later in the afternoon, just before closing.

01:24:30 You reach for the tomatoes in a bag, but your grandmother stops you.

01:24:33 Pre-packaged fruits and vegetables are usually more expensive.

01:24:36 Plus, they don't allow you to check their freshness.

01:24:40 A good ripe tomato can weigh twice as much as a not-ripe tomato.

01:24:44 It must have a smooth and firm skin and smell like a tomato.

01:24:47 No, don't put this poor damaged tomato in your cart.

01:24:50 The cracks on the fruits and vegetables are a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.

01:24:55 Try to find firm cucumbers that have no spots or soft parts.

01:24:59 The best ones are dark green.

01:25:01 If you see yellow spots, it means the cucumber is too ripe and probably has a strange taste.

01:25:06 The same goes for peppers.

01:25:08 They must be bright and without spots.

01:25:11 Now turn it over and count the bumps.

01:25:14 Four bumps means less seeds and a better taste.

01:25:17 Two or three bumps indicate a bitter taste.

01:25:20 The stem of the fresh pepper is always green, firm and crunchy.

01:25:23 Get these germinated potatoes out of your cart right away.

01:25:26 Choose the firm and smooth ones, without ridges on the skin,

01:25:29 no dark spots, no soft parts, no cuts.

01:25:32 Choose only green salad, without holes or blackened edges.

01:25:35 The brighter the color, the better.

01:25:37 Let's move on to the fruits.

01:25:39 Your grandmother explains that a raw watermelon will always have a brown and dry stem.

01:25:43 This one, a dark yellow, must have rested on the ground for a long time to become sweet.

01:25:48 It's the same for melons.

01:25:50 Those with a yellowish bark are sweeter

01:25:53 because they have received enough sun when they were harvested.

01:25:56 Check the stems of the banana regime before choosing them.

01:26:00 The stems must go from green to light yellow and not darken.

01:26:04 Only take individual bananas if you want to eat them right away.

01:26:07 Otherwise, they will last longer in the grave.

01:26:10 Never judge a mango by its color.

01:26:13 Instead, squeeze it gently.

01:26:15 A ripe mango will sink slightly

01:26:18 and it will have a fruity aroma at the end of the stem.

01:26:21 Smaller fruits are usually sweeter.

01:26:24 But this rule does not apply to strawberries.

01:26:27 They can be of different types and sizes

01:26:30 and the bigger ones can also be delicious.

01:26:33 Their ripeness stops as soon as they are harvested.

01:26:36 So choose the red ones with green and fresh stems.

01:26:40 They will look rather dry and flaky if the strawberries have been harvested a long time ago.

01:26:44 This lemon will not give you much juice.

01:26:47 It is pale, which means it is older.

01:26:50 This one, firm and without thorns, with a thin and smooth skin, will be much better.

01:26:55 It also seems heavier, which is a good sign.

01:26:58 Here, you are shopping for a great opportunity.

01:27:01 It is better not to buy too many products at once.

01:27:04 If they are fresh and organic, they will not last very long.

01:27:07 And always choose seasonal fruits and vegetables.

01:27:10 They will be cheaper and of better quality.

01:27:13 Next stop, honey.

01:27:15 This one seems strange to you because there are crystals at the bottom of the pot.

01:27:18 But your grandmother explains that it is a sign of freshness.

01:27:21 It is normal for honey to crystallize when the temperature drops.

01:27:25 It is also a good sign that it looks opaque.

01:27:28 This means that it is more natural and healthy and that it is not pasteurized.

01:27:32 You check your list and you realize that you still need bread.

01:27:35 You already know that the best option is whole wheat bread.

01:27:38 You take one and study the label.

01:27:40 Whole wheat bread will not do the trick.

01:27:43 It is better to choose whole wheat bread.

01:27:46 The less ingredients there are, the better.

01:27:48 If you do not know how to pronounce the name of the additive, it is better not to have it in your bread.

01:27:52 It should not contain artificial aromas, colorants or preservatives.

01:27:57 You press lightly on the bread you just chose.

01:28:00 Bingo! It takes its initial shape again.

01:28:02 Which means it is of good quality.

01:28:04 If you see your fingerprint on it, it may have been frozen or the cooking process went wrong.

01:28:10 You are now heading for the cannery.

01:28:13 But your grandmother is blocking your way.

01:28:15 She is convinced that canned food is bad for your health because it contains a huge amount of salt.

01:28:21 You convince her to at least study the label of the cans.

01:28:24 You must always choose cans that do not contain too much salt or sugar.

01:28:28 Those that are preserved in water or in their own juice are the healthiest,

01:28:32 because they contain less artificial ingredients.

01:28:34 You find tuna in olive oil.

01:28:36 The packaging is perfectly sealed, so you can go.

01:28:40 You should never take a rusty can.

01:28:42 It can be dangerous.

01:28:44 It looks like you have everything you need, except meat and dairy products.

01:28:49 You should always take them last.

01:28:51 Outside the refrigerator, they can quickly spoil if your shopping lasts too long.

01:28:56 You make some room in your cart to protect your fruits from the raw meat juice, just in case.

01:29:02 Red meat must be dark in color.

01:29:04 Purple, red and brown are good.

01:29:08 Pork meat must be light pink, pulling on the red.

01:29:12 It must smell good and the smell must not be spicy.

01:29:15 If you can see a lot of fibers, it must be a hard meat with a strong taste.

01:29:20 Beef fillet will not have any grains because it is very tender.

01:29:23 White fuzz and streaks of fat in the muscle are another sign that it is juicy and tender.

01:29:29 If you do not plan to cook the meat right away,

01:29:32 choose the one whose date of consumption is the furthest away.

01:29:36 You can always eat it without risk a little after this date, but it will have a better taste before.

01:29:40 Packaging with dirty marks inside are to be avoided.

01:29:44 Someone could have handled them with dirty hands.

01:29:47 If the chicken you are about to buy has skin, it must be paler than the flesh.

01:29:52 Not yellow or light brown.

01:29:54 The edges must not look dry.

01:29:56 The cuts must be smooth and uniform.

01:29:59 If it is not well cut, there may be small joints and bones in your lunch.

01:30:04 Your chicken that has been in its packaging for more than two days would be better to stay in the stall and not in your cart.

01:30:10 Your grandmother takes a fish and fixes it in her eyes.

01:30:13 She explains that a good fish will have shining eyes with black and shiny pupils.

01:30:18 The skin of the fish must be silky too, not sticky or firm.

01:30:22 Press the fillet.

01:30:24 If your fingerprint remains on it, it is not good.

01:30:27 Last stop, dairy products.

01:30:30 You reach for the bottom of the shelf to find the one whose expiration date is the furthest away.

01:30:36 The same rule applies to frozen foods, packaged foods and eggs.

01:30:40 The most recent dairy products are usually placed behind the oldest.

01:30:45 Your grandmother recommends choosing pasteurized milk.

01:30:48 No raw product will land in your cart today.

01:30:52 When the milk goes through pasteurization, it is heated to eliminate pathogenic bacteria.

01:30:57 This does not remove the nutritional value of the product, so no worries about it.

01:31:02 When you choose your yogurts, be careful of the label.

01:31:05 The less words on it, the better.

01:31:08 Three basic ingredients are enough to make it work.

01:31:11 The rest could be preservatives and sugar that you do not need.

01:31:15 If you see "probiotic" and "active ferment", it's a good sign.

01:31:18 Do not forget to take cheese.

01:31:20 Not this one, however.

01:31:22 Soft-paste cheeses, such as ricotta, fresh cheese, fresh goat or grated cheese, should not have mold.

01:31:29 It can spread easily.

01:31:31 A little mold is acceptable on hard-paste cheeses.

01:31:35 You can carefully cut the area around and eat it anyway.

01:31:38 Yippee! You're done shopping.

01:31:41 It's time to go home and cook.

01:31:44 Place absorbent paper on a clean and smooth surface.

01:31:48 Then, place small hazelnut pieces on the paper.

01:31:52 Sprinkle them with baking soda.

01:31:54 Once the hazelnut pieces have solidified, put them in a small box.

01:31:58 When you need to brush your teeth in the wild,

01:32:01 simply take a hazelnut, put it in your mouth and use your toothbrush as usual.

01:32:06 If your selection of condiments takes up too much space in the picnic basket,

01:32:09 use straws to create samples of your favorite spices.

01:32:13 Cut a third of a straw, pinch one end and melt it on the fire to seal the edges together.

01:32:19 Then, use a funnel to pour your spices into this mini tube

01:32:23 and seal the other end using the same technique.

01:32:26 Write the name of the spice on the straw and place it in a small box.

01:32:30 When your shoes are wet in nature, find stones of an appropriate size,

01:32:34 put the stones in a saucepan with water and boil them.

01:32:38 Carefully place the hot stones inside your shoes.

01:32:41 You can use kitchen tweezers or a ladle to handle the hot stones.

01:32:45 Your shoes will dry very quickly.

01:32:48 If you don't want to boil the stones, here's another technique.

01:32:51 Take a plastic bottle, pour hot water inside and wrap the bottle with toilet paper.

01:32:57 Then place the bottle in your shoes and wait 30 minutes.

01:33:01 This should be enough to make them dry and comfortable.

01:33:04 If you have to eat soup in nature, you can make a spoon from a plastic bottle.

01:33:10 Cut the shape of a spoon with a knife at the bottom of the bottle.

01:33:15 Don't forget to add the handle.

01:33:17 Garlic and onions can be easily peeled with a metal bottle capsule.

01:33:22 Speaking of metal capsules, you can uncap the bottle using your alliance,

01:33:27 a metal spoon or another bottle.

01:33:30 You went fishing but forgot your knife at home.

01:33:33 Use a carrot to cut the fish.

01:33:36 Cut the carrot in half and rub the scales of the fish with half of the carrot.

01:33:41 The scales will come off easily.

01:33:43 Drill holes in the cap of a plastic bottle and screw it tight.

01:33:47 Then cut the top of the bottle and turn it over.

01:33:50 Place a rolled tablecloth or toilet paper in the neck of the bottle.

01:33:54 Then put coal, grass and stones and pour troubled water into this hand-made filter.

01:34:00 Then you can boil this filtered water and drink it if you're thirsty.

01:34:04 Melt a soap bar and suck it with a syringe.

01:34:07 Then pour the liquid soap into an empty pillbox and close it with aluminum foil.

01:34:12 You can use this little soap to wash your hands at any time.

01:34:16 To make your grilled steaks juicier, make a groove in the middle of the steak and put ice on it.

01:34:22 Wait for the ice to melt and grill as usual.

01:34:25 You can make a washing machine from a camping set using an ordinary bucket with a lid.

01:34:30 Cut a small hole in the middle of the lid and insert a suction cup.

01:34:34 Pour the laundry in the bucket, put the clothes in and the water.

01:34:38 Close the lid and rinse the clothes with the suction cup until all stains are removed.

01:34:43 If you can't take a chewing gum off your clothes,

01:34:46 put a piece of ice on it and the chewing gum will come off easily.

01:34:50 You can also put your clothes in the freezer for a while and then remove the chewing gum.

01:34:55 Detergent bottles are usually too big to be carried around in a camping set.

01:35:00 Take a sheet of thin paper and spread the detergent evenly on the paper.

01:35:04 Cut the paper into small squares and put them in a waterproof box.

01:35:08 When you have to do the dishes, just put a square on a damp sponge.

01:35:12 While walking in the woods, pick up tree branches the width of a finger.

01:35:16 Bring these branches home, wash them and cut them into equal pieces.

01:35:20 Put them in a bowl and stick the sticks together with the shape of the bowl using a heat-shrinkable glue.

01:35:26 You get a pretty fruit basket made at home.

01:35:29 If the lid of a jar doesn't open easily, try this trick.

01:35:33 Wrap the lid with duct tape, then turn it gently to open it.

01:35:38 If your kettle is full of limestone, pour water and put a piece of lemon inside.

01:35:43 Boil the water, then rinse the kettle and the limestone will have disappeared.

01:35:48 If you're hungry in the wild without a fishing rod, try this other way of catching fish.

01:35:53 Take a large empty plastic bottle, cut the top and turn it.

01:35:58 Tie the two sides of the bottle's neck with a rope.

01:36:01 Crush a few instant noodles and put them inside the bottle.

01:36:06 Throw the bottle into the river. This trap will surely attract fish.

01:36:10 Make matches that will never go out because of the wind.

01:36:14 Wrap the matches in table towels and soak them in melted wax.

01:36:18 Wait for them to dry. And there you have matches that will never go out.

01:36:22 You can use a basic razor to grind chocolate on your ice cream or coffee.

01:36:27 Take a number of jars and paint them your favorite color.

01:36:31 Glue them on both sides of a wooden cutting board.

01:36:33 Then tie a rope on the slice of the cutting board as a handle.

01:36:37 Your new dishwasher storage box for camping is ready.

01:36:40 The nitrogen in the hair promotes nutrients.

01:36:44 Put the hair you lose every day in a flower pot and your plants will grow stronger and healthier.

01:36:49 Place instant noodles in a baking dish.

01:36:52 Add a thick layer of cheese.

01:36:54 Sprinkle the whole thing with all the seasoning packets of the packets of noodles.

01:36:57 Then pour ketchup and other toppings like pepperoni or mushrooms in the gaps between the noodles.

01:37:03 Add a little more cheese and put the dish in the oven until the cheese melts.

01:37:07 Your meal is ready.

01:37:09 Instant noodles are also a great fire starter.

01:37:13 Take paper disposable cups and use a needle to drill decorative slots.

01:37:18 Then use a knife to cut a small cross at the bottom and place the cups on a light garland.

01:37:24 Repeat the operation with other cups until your garland is ready.

01:37:28 You can also paint the cups your favorite color before placing them on the garland.

01:37:33 Egg boxes can be used to store sauces.

01:37:36 Soak the root of a rose in honey.

01:37:39 Then put the root in an apple and cut the branches.

01:37:42 Plant this apple in a jar.

01:37:44 You can grow your own roses in a jar.

01:37:47 Brush your shoes with toothpaste and a toothbrush and they will become as white as your teeth.

01:37:53 Use a hoop and a bathroom curtain to improvise a shower booth anywhere in the forest.

01:37:58 Attach the curtain to the hoop with hooks and attach it to a tree with a string.

01:38:03 You can also use this trick to build a temporary dressing.

01:38:07 If you don't want to carry the adhesive tape all the way on a hike,

01:38:11 roll the desired amount around your lighter and then simply cut a piece when you need it.

01:38:17 If you have to move a heavy sofa, you can put banana peels under your feet.

01:38:21 The furniture will slide easily on the floor.

01:38:24 After eating a meal in a lunch box, a lot of oil usually remains in the box.

01:38:29 To make cleaning easier, pour a little detergent into your box,

01:38:33 put a piece of absorbent paper, add a little water, close the box and shake it back and forth.

01:38:39 Then rinse it with water. Your box will be immediately clean.

01:38:43 If you need shoes urgently, but you only have two bottles of soda in your hand,

01:38:47 press them and put your feet under the labels. Your slippers are ready.

01:38:52 You can use a jar to make a chandelier or a mini-hot tub.

01:38:56 Make a vertical cut in the jar, then make two horizontal cuts.

01:39:00 Open the two sides like doors and put a candle inside.

01:39:04 If you have to cook food, just put small pieces of wood inside the jar and light a fire.

01:39:10 Then put a pan on top and don't forget to feed the fire with new pieces of wood until the meal is ready.

01:39:18 Put dry leaves under your sweater. This will help you stay warm.

01:39:22 To make thicker matches to light a fire, wrap five tight matches in one package with a thread.

01:39:29 Then dip the matches in melted wax. Wait for the wax to harden and put the matches back in the box.

01:39:35 If the zipper on your backpack or tent doesn't slide well and it's hard to close, you can use wax.

01:39:43 Take a candle and rub it all over the length of the zipper.

01:39:49 If you're lucky enough to own an iPhone, be careful.

01:39:52 Your favorite gadget can sometimes be a virus.

01:39:55 One day, you might see an ad in your calendar.

01:39:58 And no matter how long you try to delete it, it won't disappear.

01:40:03 To end this mess, go to Settings, Calendars, Accounts, and delete all accounts except iCloud and Gmail.

01:40:12 There may be very few viruses for iPhones, but you're never safe from a juice-jacking.

01:40:17 If you don't want your data to be hacked, public data centers are a must.

01:40:22 Airports, cafes, public transport, everything is possible.

01:40:26 This only applies to USB chargers. A good old socket will never do you any harm.

01:40:31 Be also very careful with various authorizations.

01:40:35 Make sure that the applications you download come from a protected source and are not counterfeits.

01:40:40 There are many resources on the Internet, but most of them are not safe.

01:40:45 Read the reviews on the applications before downloading them.

01:40:48 It may seem obvious, but you'll save both your time and your money.

01:40:53 Being undetectable is vital to your private life.

01:40:56 If you don't have a special screen, just adjust the brightness level.

01:41:01 It's harder for anyone to see your password this way.

01:41:05 Airplane mode is not only useful for preserving your battery, but also for keeping your data safe.

01:41:11 The logic is simple. If your phone is offline, how can someone get your data?

01:41:17 The iPhone's battery runs out quickly when it's cold, because of its aluminum case,

01:41:22 because this material cools down much faster than plastic.

01:41:25 An Android phone runs out more slowly, because most of them have plastic cases.

01:41:31 And no, there's no trick to fix it. Sorry.

01:41:35 It happens to everyone at least once.

01:41:37 If you dropped your phone in the snow or simply left it outside and it froze,

01:41:42 don't recharge it the moment you get it back.

01:41:45 Leave it alone for 20 to 30 minutes to warm it up gradually.

01:41:50 Then run a water ejection shortcut.

01:41:53 It's not configured by default, but you can easily find one by searching on the Internet.

01:41:59 There are also free applications that eject water from the system using the power of sound.

01:42:05 If you can't delete an app for any reason, check your settings.

01:42:10 Go to Settings, Screen Time, Content and Confidentiality Restrictions.

01:42:15 In iTunes and App Store purchases, there should be a check on "Not Authorized".

01:42:21 Change it to "Authorized" and you can now delete any app.

01:42:26 One of the most annoying problems for all iPhone users is memory loss.

01:42:31 Even if you delete photos, there's still not enough space.

01:42:35 Go to the iPhone's Storage settings and check that the photos you recently deleted are really deleted.

01:42:42 If not, delete them directly in the Storage section.

01:42:46 Keyboards also have their secrets.

01:42:48 To end a sentence with a period and start a new sentence, just double-click on the Space key.

01:42:55 If you prefer to type with only one hand, choose the right keyboard.

01:43:01 When you switch languages, there are three keyboard icons below.

01:43:05 The left one is for the left hand only, the center one is for both hands, and the right one is only for the right hand.

01:43:12 What a surprise!

01:43:14 If you double-click on the capital key, you'll get the lock of the capitals.

01:43:19 Many letters also have hidden symbols. If you hold your finger on a key, you'll see them appear.

01:43:25 You can now write with all the accents.

01:43:28 If you deleted the long message you just wrote, just shake your phone.

01:43:33 This will activate the "Cancel Type" function.

01:43:36 Hold the Space key in the notes or any other text you write,

01:43:40 and you can easily slide on the keyboard to reach any part of the text.

01:43:45 The notes can be beautiful and smooth even if you don't have a pen.

01:43:50 When you're done drawing, hold it for a second with your finger.

01:43:54 The iPhone will automatically improve it. Goodbye curved lines!

01:43:58 A too slow Wi-Fi can be really boring, but your gadget knows how to handle it.

01:44:03 Go to your Wi-Fi settings and see if the "Data Saving" mode is activated.

01:44:08 If not, just press the cursor, and there you go!

01:44:12 You can now surf the net at a much higher speed.

01:44:16 Sooner or later, any smartphone will become slower,

01:44:19 even if it's a brand new 256-gigabyte iPhone.

01:44:23 In this case, just release the live memory.

01:44:27 Activate the AssistiveTouch feature, and it will be a great help.

01:44:31 Then press the power button, and before the stop menu slides,

01:44:35 press the welcome button on the AssistiveTouch.

01:44:38 Your RAM is now like new.

01:44:41 The AssistiveTouch feature can also help you assign new features to simple touches.

01:44:47 Go to General settings, Accessibility, and in the AssistiveTouch section,

01:44:52 you can modify any command in the Customized Actions menu.

01:44:57 For example, you can choose Screen Capture for a double tap,

01:45:01 because the combination of the welcome button and the power button seems impractical.

01:45:05 To take a screen capture, tap twice on the circle on the Accessibility menu.

01:45:10 To change the color of the battery icon, go to Accessibility,

01:45:14 choose the size of the display and text, and slide the smart invert button.

01:45:19 The color of the battery icon now turns blue.

01:45:23 If you increase the contrast, it will take a lighter shade.

01:45:26 When your phone is charged, the indicator turns purple. Magic!

01:45:31 To increase the sound of your iPhone, go to Settings, Music, and find the equalizer.

01:45:36 It's called EQ in the menu.

01:45:39 The Late Night option will increase the sound of your phone by 20%.

01:45:43 Louder at night? Really!

01:45:46 To record a video without being noticed, open the camera,

01:45:50 start recording the video, go back to the notification center,

01:45:54 the video will continue to play, but it will not be visible on the screen.

01:45:58 You can also create a unique vibration for any of your contacts.

01:46:03 Go to Settings, Sound, and open the sound settings.

01:46:07 The default vibration is usually activated,

01:46:10 but if you scroll down a bit, you will see the Custom section.

01:46:14 Select the rhythm you like and record it.

01:46:17 You can define it for any of your contacts.

01:46:20 You certainly have dozens of tabs open in your browser, or even a hundred.

01:46:25 To close them all at once, hold the button "Finished" in the lower left corner

01:46:30 and choose the "Close all tabs" option.

01:46:33 If you closed all the tabs without meaning to, and you need to go back to some of the more recent ones,

01:46:38 hold the "+" button in the middle.

01:46:41 This will open the list of tabs that have recently been closed.

01:46:44 You will then have to scroll through the list, hoping to find the one you did not want to close.

01:46:49 iPhones may not have the most durable batteries,

01:46:52 but they beat everyone else when it comes to the quality of their photos.

01:46:56 Activate the grid in the camera settings,

01:46:59 go to General, choose Camera,

01:47:02 and you can help you to get better framing.

01:47:05 By the way, people who have an iPhone do not need a dedicated app for QR code readers,

01:47:10 because all iPhones have one integrated.

01:47:13 Turn on the camera and point it at the code.

01:47:16 You will see a pop-up window at the top of the screen.

01:47:19 Press the window and go directly to the browser to the link containing the QR code.

01:47:25 If it does not work, activate the function "Scan QR codes" in the camera settings.

01:47:31 If you need to find a combination of special words when you read an article online,

01:47:36 go to the search bar and type the word you are interested in.

01:47:39 You will see three sections, "Google search", "Useless", "Signature and history", "Useless", and "On this page".

01:47:46 This is where the word you need will be highlighted in yellow,

01:47:50 and you will have a special navigation bar at the bottom with the up and down arrows to easily find the keyword.

01:47:56 If you like to write long love letters in your notes, but you do not want anyone to read them,

01:48:01 then put a password for any of your notes.

01:48:04 There are two ways to do it, depending on the iPhone model you have.

01:48:09 For example, for the iPhone 6, you have to swipe from right to left and you will see three icons,

01:48:14 lock, folder and crowbar.

01:48:17 Use the crowbar if you are not happy with your letter, and the lock to protect it from indiscreet looks.

01:48:22 Define the password, but make sure you remember it because you can't delete it.

01:48:27 If it doesn't work, select and hold the note itself, and you will see the password bar in the menu.

01:48:34 Define the password, and from there, no one will be able to read the love letters you wrote to Juliet all night long.

01:48:41 Good night, Romeo.

01:48:43 You are still awake. It is 2 am and you can't sleep. Let's go again.

01:48:49 You head to the sofa to try to get enough sleep to go back to bed.

01:48:54 The clock is ticking and it is already 5 am.

01:48:58 Your eyes are tired and yet you still can't sleep.

01:49:02 Finally, an hour later, you go back to bed and you finally fall asleep.

01:49:07 Ok, let's solve this problem and make sure you have a good night's sleep.

01:49:12 First of all, let's prepare your room so that it is an ideal place to sleep.

01:49:17 Your bed must be of good quality, enough so that when you lie down on it, you feel a feeling of relaxation through your body.

01:49:26 A good pillow is also important to support your spine properly.

01:49:31 There are different pillows, thick, thin, firm, soft. Try several and see which one suits you best.

01:49:38 Lighting is also important. If your room is still a little bright, even at midnight, it may be one of the reasons why you don't sleep well.

01:49:47 So close the curtains, but be careful! They still let the light through.

01:49:53 Don't worry, opt for thick black curtains and put them in place. It will do the trick.

01:50:01 If that's not enough, get yourself a night mask to put on your eyes when you go to bed.

01:50:06 Now you have to find the right temperature.

01:50:09 You probably don't have a thermostat on hand, but the trick is to make sure your room is neither a desert nor the North Pole.

01:50:18 Find the right one in the middle.

01:50:20 Let's talk about light now. After waking up, expose your face to bright light as soon as you can.

01:50:27 You will be more alert and you will sleep better at night.

01:50:30 It's because our body has a pretty cool internal clock.

01:50:34 This internal clock is called the circadian rhythm.

01:50:37 To put it simply, our body tells us when we have to wake up and when we have to go to bed.

01:50:43 Being in the sun or exposed to bright light keeps this internal clock running smoothly.

01:50:48 When it works well and you are in bed, about to sleep, you will fall asleep much faster.

01:50:54 If you can't get in the sun, it's okay. Get yourself some lamps and put them in your house.

01:51:02 There is also another trick to expose yourself to bright light.

01:51:06 Get yourself a light therapy kit.

01:51:09 This little device simulates the sunlight and is particularly useful during the short cloudy and cold winter days.

01:51:17 Many of us have the bad habit of staying on our phone until the last minute.

01:51:23 And if it's not your phone, it's probably the TV or the computer, right?

01:51:28 Everyone is connected to a screen nowadays.

01:51:31 Sorry, but it doesn't help you sleep well either.

01:51:35 The best thing to do is to choose a time to go to bed,

01:51:39 and then set an alarm one or two hours before.

01:51:42 When it goes off, it's a sign that you have to turn off all these devices.

01:51:47 You don't have to turn them off, but at least stop using them.

01:51:52 The blue light coming out of these screens can be quite disturbing.

01:51:56 Take a book instead. You know, this object with paper pages.

01:51:59 There are chances that you fall asleep with the book on your face.

01:52:02 You could even dream about it.

01:52:05 This activity will also help you sleep better at night.

01:52:08 Now is the time to do a little sport.

01:52:12 The best type of exercise to improve the quality of your sleep is probably cardio.

01:52:18 Go out to a park and run a little.

01:52:20 You won't want to take a nap in the middle of the day anymore.

01:52:24 Exercise helps you stay awake during the day and sleep better at night.

01:52:29 Speaking of naps, be careful with this one.

01:52:33 This soft pillow you left on your couch for the little nap of 16 hours,

01:52:37 get rid of it.

01:52:39 And in general, avoid naps after 3 p.m.

01:52:42 If you really want to take a nap, do it in the early afternoon.

01:52:45 Use an alarm and sleep only 15 or 20 minutes.

01:52:49 You shouldn't do too much and find yourself sleepy for the rest of the day.

01:52:53 You look at the ceiling, trying to fall asleep.

01:52:56 Something is wrong. Is it supposed to turn like that?

01:53:00 You have a spinning head all of a sudden.

01:53:02 There is an easy solution to this.

01:53:04 Move to the side of your bed and put one of your feet on the floor.

01:53:08 You will feel better after a few deep breaths.

01:53:12 At the end of the day, caffeine is to be prescribed.

01:53:15 It stays in your blood for about 6 to 8 hours.

01:53:18 If you are one of those people who have a recovery of energy after a cup of coffee,

01:53:23 try not to do it after 15 or 16 hours.

01:53:26 We have all already taken a step through the fridge at the end of the evening.

01:53:30 Milk and biscuits are a classic, but it can be anything.

01:53:34 It turns out that it doesn't really favor sleep.

01:53:39 However, a study has shown that if you eat a rich, glucose meal 4 hours before bed,

01:53:44 it helps you sleep.

01:53:46 Except that another study has revealed that a poor, glucose diet could also help you sleep.

01:53:52 The best thing to do is to see what works for you.

01:53:55 Once you have found the magic recipe, you will be able to sit down without feeling guilty.

01:54:01 The following tip involves water.

01:54:04 Bathwater to be precise.

01:54:06 A shower or a bath, as long as the water is hot, can definitely help you fall asleep faster.

01:54:12 It can also help you reach a deeper state of sleep.

01:54:16 Not so deep that nothing will wake you up, but deep enough for you to wake up fresh and ready.

01:54:21 Necturine.

01:54:23 This word almost looks like a magic formula,

01:54:26 but it's just the name given by specialists when you often have to go to the bathroom at night.

01:54:30 And no, there is no magic in it.

01:54:33 We have all known these moments.

01:54:35 You feel like it's the biggest decision of your life.

01:54:37 Get out of bed or hold on to you.

01:54:40 The best way to avoid this is not to drink any liquid before going to bed.

01:54:45 Super easy.

01:54:47 Just associate it with your rule "no electronic devices".

01:54:52 However, when you wake up, drink a large glass of water at room temperature.

01:54:56 This will start your day and help your body feel fresh and rejuvenated.

01:55:01 In addition, you need to rehydrate yourself.

01:55:04 You're in bed, but all you can do is look at the ceiling while waiting to fall asleep.

01:55:10 When this happens, it's better to accept that you just can't sleep for the moment.

01:55:15 Try not to stay in bed for too long, frustrated, angry.

01:55:19 You could start associating your frustration with your bed or your room.

01:55:24 You don't want to have negative feelings every time you look at what should be the most relaxing place in the house.

01:55:30 The best thing to do when this happens is to get up.

01:55:35 Do something relaxing.

01:55:37 Go to your living room and look out the window for a few minutes.

01:55:40 Avoid looking at the clock.

01:55:42 You don't want to think about sleeping while you're trying to distract yourself.

01:55:46 When you wait for it at least, you'll have new sleep.

01:55:50 Ready to float under the blanket to get those 8 good hours of rest.

01:55:54 If you like to write, and it's one of those nights when nothing works,

01:56:00 and your head seems about to explode,

01:56:03 go sit down at your desk, open a notebook and put your worries on paper.

01:56:07 Keeping a sleep journal could even help you.

01:56:10 Now, here's a body exam exercise that can help you fall asleep.

01:56:15 First, lie on your back, legs crossed.

01:56:19 Place your arms along your sides and try to relax them as much as possible.

01:56:24 Now close your eyes and focus on your breathing for about 2 minutes.

01:56:29 That should be enough for you to start feeling relaxed.

01:56:33 The next step is to focus on your toes.

01:56:37 Check them all and see if you feel any tension at the bottom.

01:56:41 Now imagine a river flowing from your mouth and nose,

01:56:45 and it's flowing slowly through your whole body,

01:56:48 down to your toes and out of them.

01:56:52 Take a deep breath, and then start letting your breath become softer and softer.

01:56:57 Do it with the plant of your feet, then with your ankles, calves, knees, thighs, etc.

01:57:04 Keep going until you reach your hips.

01:57:06 Don't forget to keep imagining a river flowing through your body.

01:57:10 If you've consumed too much liquid before going to bed,

01:57:15 then imagine that this river will trigger other urgencies than going to sleep.

01:57:19 Finally, you can do some yoga or meditation.

01:57:23 The goal here is to help you control your breathing to get rid of stress.

01:57:28 Imagine you're now a master of breathing exercises,

01:57:32 and when you close your eyes, you just breathe out and all your worries disappear.

01:57:37 (upbeat music)
