How to download the right clip from YouTube?

Trimming a video is easy for most users, but you need to download it first. But what to do if the video is huge and you only need a few seconds from it? There is a great solution for that.

Kapwing is a web service that can edit YouTube videos without downloading them to your device. All you have to do is follow the link, paste the link to the video and edit it to your liking. Then click "Export" and download it.

Configuring RAM

To make the system run faster, you can tune the RAM, increasing its performance.

1. While the computer is rebooting, access the BIOS using a special key.

2. Use the combination Ctrl + F1 to get to the settings.

3. With the keyboard arrows navigate to "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)" and press Enter.

4. Find "System Memory Multiplier". Here you can set the RAM clock frequency up or down by changing the multiplier. The value should not be too high, but, in reasonable measures, it will only make it better.

Anonymous diary

The online diary format has had an unexpected resurgence on a site with the telling noscript This website will self-destruct. Simply put, it is not eternal and will disappear if no one makes a new entry within 24 hours.

Its main purpose is to allow people to say what's on their minds while remaining anonymous. You're not writing to nothing: someone on the other side of the world may read your letter and support you in return - even if you never see it.

In case you forgot:

President Trump's 90-day tariff pause now only has 13 days remaining.

This means without any new trade deals, on July 9th, tariff rates will rise as follows:

1. Country-specific "reciprocal tariffs" return
2. Tariffs of up to 50% on EU imports
3. 30% tariffs on Chinese imports remain in effect
4. Global 10% baseline tariffs remains in effect

The S&P 500 is now ~1,200 points higher than it was on April 9th, when the 90-day pause was announced.

The trade war will soon take the spotlight again.

The strategy that paid off: El Salvador has already made $84 million on its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.

We have repeatedly written about the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, who spearheaded investing in Bitcoin at the state level, starting at the peak of the last bull market around $65,000–$69,000 per BTC.

The country’s portfolio now holds 2,861 BTC at an average price of $42,599. As you can imagine, El Salvador is on the upside! The country’s BTC stash is currently up +69%, and its total value exceeds $206 million.

This is what happens when your country is led by a Bitcoin maximalist 🚀🚀

🪙 80k BTC that recently moved?
Turns out they belong to Adam Back.

🗣️ Back and Peter Todd were basically portrayed as the "collective Satoshi" in the HBO doc — and honestly, it’s not a bad theory.

So Satoshi might already be here, slowly legitimizing his coins.

And given Back’s cryptography background, he could be sitting on a lot more wallets.

Thankfully, he’s a Bitcoin maximalist — not here to ruin it.

Bitcoin Hits $100K: A Historic Milestone

Bitcoin has officially shattered the $100,000 mark, a moment that cements its place in financial history and sends waves across the globe. Even President-elect Donald Trump applauded this achievement, calling Bitcoin a "financial revolution" and congratulating its holders.

Major Headlines Around Bitcoin’s Rise—

○ MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin stash has hit 400,002 BTC, reaping over $18 billion in profit. Saylor remains bullish, forecasting a $280 trillion market cap by 2045, envisioning Bitcoin as the backbone of the global financial system.

○ Germany’s sale of 50,000 BTC at $54,000 now reflects $2.4 billion in missed profits showcasing the perils of underestimating Bitcoin’s potential.

○ Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, dismissed the notion of banning Bitcoin outright, affirming its undeniable presence in global finance.

Looking ahead, Bitcoin’s unprecedented growth is fueled by institutional adoption, mainstream acceptance, and unwavering investor confidence. As the cryptocurrency continues its ascent, its role in shaping a decentralized global economy becomes more certain.
