Don't even bother activating #windows. It's so easy to get all the locked features without paying or using some weird activator (a thread👇)
First, we need to get rid of that ugly watermark. Just edit PaintDesktopVersion's value located at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" using regedit. Set it to 0 🤷‍♂️
We still can't change our theme and wallpaper which sucks. Fortunately, we can do change these the same way we did when we got rid of that pesky watermark
To enable dark mode, just browse to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
" and change these two entries' value to 0. As soon as you change them, dark mode will be activated! (how amazing)
Changing your wallpaper is even easier. Just download the wallpaper of your choice and....
Sadly, we still have that ugly blue accent color next to our amazing new wallpaper. That's also fixable using a quick registry hack. Just browse to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", create a new DWORD, call it AutoColorization, and set it to 1.
You'd have to restart explorer for the previous tweak. Next, we might want to color.
Now, you might want to color your taskbar. That's yet another registry hack. Browse back to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
" and modify ColorPrevalence
This can take a few values. They are the following:
1 = color start, taskbar and action center
2 = color taskbar only
Do you want a colored title bar? Change the ColorPrevalence value in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM" to 1 and here you go.
Literally the only locked down options in Windows can be easily modified using regedit, a built in Windows tool

Job titles matter (zapier.com/blog/job-title…) TLDR 🧵
If recruiters or business owners are getting enough applications, they might only have time to scan your application and resume. They're likely to notice the titles that closely match what they're looking for.
It's also important to note that hiring managers love to see growth over the years, and even if your responsibilities shifted, it can get lost if it's all under one title.

Quiting is good, actually. A thread 🧵 #personaldevelopment
Many of us are stuck in the wrong jobs and due to this idea of not quitting, we waste a lot of productive years.
We don’t quit because of a cognitive bias known as the sunk cost fallacy, which basically means we continue to do something that is not helping us, but because we have already invested our time, energy and resources.

I've been reading this research where studied how physical appearance is linked to income, some highlights 👇
The researchers estimated “that one centimeter increase in stature (converted in height) is associated with approximately $998 increase in family income for a male who earns $70,000 of the median family income.”
For women, the researchers estimated that “one unit decrease in obesity (converted in BMI) is associated with approximately $934 increase in the family income for a female who earns $70,000 of family income.”
