Facebook Messenger is mandatory to send and receive messages

Starting this week, Facebook will no longer allow you to send and receive messages on mobile iOS and Android other than from the mobile site as well as for its separate Facebook Messenger app. Facebook warned users of the change for several months now. Users of Android and iOS Service should be notified via Facebook and email.

By April, Facebook had "forced" its European users to install the Messenger application on their smartphone in addition to the Facebook application. This selection was then interpreted as a way to fit more clearly in the explosion of mobile messaging services.

Facebook for example, had bought in February 2014 the mobile application WhatsApp messaging for $19 billion. The application had 450 million users - against 638 million for Facebook at that time.

Since then, "before the success" of its application in Europe, Facebook has decided to deploy this change for all users worldwide. Here's what Facebook told to Tech Crunch:

In the coming days, we will continue to inform more people about the fact that if they want to send and receive Facebook messages, they will have to download the Messenger application. As we have said, our goal is to focus on a development effort that will make Messenger the best experience possible mobile messaging and to avoid confusion caused by two experiences separate Facebook mobile messaging. Messenger is used by over 200 million people every month, and we will continue our work to make it a more appealing way to connect people with each other.

Only users of Android and iOS application, however, should experience this change. Nothing should change for example for users of Windows Phone, or Paper. And of course, the Facebook site, including mobile, will not be affected.

And you, will you regret the fact of not being able to chat directly from the Facebook app?

Enter the model number and the Windows key

The model number, serial number and registration key of Windows, usually come somewhere in the hardware, some written directly into the bottom of the laptop, others on a sticker, or computer case. These numbers are important for several reasons: the model number is important in case you need to replace any part of your hardware, you need to download the drivers, or even for technical support or enforce the guarantee, to which also you would need the serial key.

The Windows registry key is also important to keep in case you need to reinstall the operating system and this will ask for the serial of your version again.

For computers with Windows 8, they do not bring the product key on the hardware but you have to look in Control Panel \ System and Security \ System under ID Product . Be sure to keep this number somewhere safe. An easy way would be to take a picture (Screenshot) of all this data and store it in Evernote.

Drivers are one of the most important parts of any operating system, without them the different parts of the hardware of a computer may not work properly, so it is important to know what you use your computer and have a backup of them if we should reinstall the system.

Some modern computers already include a partition backup list, with your drivers and other means to recover the system.

Schedule maintenance cycles

It is important for your computer to remain running optimally, you perform preventive maintenance periodically. That is, install anti-malware protection, make cleaning unnecessary data, delete cookies and temporary Internet files , empty the recycle bin (although it seems silly, some people never do and accumulated tens of gigabytes of information there that only occupies disk space, etc.).

If your computer is very expensive, most are invaluable for the information they contain more than anything, you could tell, or included in a theft insurance policy if you already have one for all of your household goods. If used to carry your laptop everywhere, work, school, or the local coffee shop is a good idea to encrypt all your files in case of loss or theft, Install any Anti-theft software like Prey, so that you can track your lost machine.

In the case of a Nexus device, for example, the programmer options are hidden in the phone settings menu, then in the settings, navigate to "About device" down until we find the information in the "Build Number". This is not a button, but if pressed seven times the developers mode is activated. After that, we left this section to the initial settings menu and we find the access to developers options directly in settings menu.

I recommend completely not touch or change anything in addition to what this mini-tutorial include(If you don't know anything about the menu items in there); these are delicate mobile options, remember. In this section scroll down until you find a section called "Drawing" and there, modify the values ​​in three options:

• Window animation scale
• Transition animation scale
• Scale length entertainer

By default, the value of these options is "1x" but we can reduce them to "x .5" (all the same) and then reboot the phone. This will make the system animations lighter, and therefore will have a faster Android, just follow these simple steps.
