Are you bored? Do you have a smartphone or a computer? Then you have everything to have a fun time! Sometimes, even if we have an agenda full of events, there are moments when we have nothing left to watch on Netflix when we would appreciate having some hobby to kill time entertainingly.
Here is a list of useful, entertaining, and even productive things you can do at home using technology so you won’t be bored!
Learn a new language online and at home
If you don’t know what to do at home and are looking for something productive, learning a new language or improving your level of the languages you already know is a fantastic idea. Best of all, improving your language skills is cheaper than ever: far from language schools, there are now plenty of courses and exercises to practice online.
If you want to put a language into practice, you can look for a tandem through the many websites and Facebook groups for this purpose. You can also watch movies in the original version and improve your language level daily!
Online games: casino and videogames
In the last few years, online casinos have been top-rated. So it is a safe pastime, although it is always advisable to do it moderately and keep a budget according to your finances.
But in addition, there are games of all kinds that, although you may think “it’s for the geek who knows everything,” are entertaining. You can give a shot to pokies jackpots, have fun with roulette or feel like you are in a Hollywood movie playing live poker!
Discover new music groups
Listening to music is a great way to clear your mind and kill time at home. If you are tired of listening to the same old stuff, you can discover new bands in two ways: listening to radio shows and playing your friends’ playlists on Spotify.
There are so many bands and musical styles that you will surely make some interesting musical discoveries – listen to the new artists on the music scene!
Improve your cooking skills online
Eating is an essential need. However, only some develop culinary skills. Some have learned to cook and are pretty good at it, while others are satisfied with their results after many attempts. Whether you are a cook or not, why not take the opportunity to learn how to cook better and improve your diet as much as possible?
You can learn to cook quickly and comfortably with many online cooking tutorials. You can prepare exquisite dishes with nothing to envy those of the most requested restaurants.
Everything is a question of putting desire and repeating the elaboration of the dishes until obtaining a unique flavour and presentation. You can also learn to cook exotic dishes from other countries, such as Indian or Thai cuisine. Undoubtedly, something to do at home that will leave you satisfied.
Visit museums around the world virtually
Luckily, culture is becoming more and more accessible. In recent years many museums worldwide have been encouraged to offer their rooms and exhibitions virtually without paying an entrance fee.
What better way to kill time at home than seeing paintings by artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, or the most outstanding artists? Let yourself be carried away by art without leaving home. A good option is the virtual Prado Museum.
Open a YouTube channel
Undoubtedly, YouTube is one of the platforms and social networks hitting hardest. There are videos of all kinds and for all tastes, so why not upload your own?
Many people have become known thanks to their videos; more than one has turned their channel into a real business. Monetizing your videos through advertising can be a very lucrative source of income.
Some YouTubers show their day-to-day life, others have a cooking channel, and others analyze the latest video games in the industry. Whatever it is, choose your topic and dare to open your channel: you can kill time at home and earn extra money every month.
Join a virtual book club
Reading is always a good option to clear your mind. However, especially for those who have already devoured all the books on their list, it can sometimes be challenging to find books to read or even understand the end of a literary work.
Reading lovers to whom this sounds familiar opt to join a book club. Usually, there is one in the local library, but in recent years they have appeared in digital versions: for all those who prefer to discuss books without leaving home.
At first glance, it may seem that it is a plan only for avid readers, but the truth is that there is room for everyone in this type of club: both for those who read occasionally and for those who do it regularly. Undoubtedly, joining one of these club discussions is a different and stimulating way to kill time at home.

Nothing’s second instalment in the ‘Ear’ TWS series, Ear (2), was launched earlier this year. This is Nothing’s third TWS product, following the Ear (1) and Ear (stick). We reviewed Ear (2) soon after it was launched in India. The TWS impressed us on all fronts, but left one lingering question – does it come in black? And now it does. However, an all-black colour scheme is not the only new addition to the Ear (2). It also gets an Advanced Equaliser feature, something that hardcore audiophiles will certainly enjoy. We spent a few days with the Black variant of Nothing Ear (2), here is our in-depth review.Read Also:How to watch YouTube videos on Android Auto in any car?
Nothing Ear (2) review: Design
Ear (2)’s black theme extends to its retail packaging as well. Even the user guide and safety manual carry an all-black look. The USB Type-C cable, however, remains white. Tucked to the right of the TWS, you will find two additional pair of ear tips.Nothing’s transparent design philosophy really shines on its darker-coloured products. While there are no changes in design, the black variant of Nothing Ear (2) is a total attention grabber. Overall, the Ear (2) is not a radical departure from its predecessor. It is more compact but retains the briefcase-shaped form factor. The case is made entirely out of plastic, but it feels quite sturdy. The hinge and pairing button have been blacked out in the new variant.Our biggest reservation about this design is the transparent plastic lid. It has a tendency to attract smudges and fingerprints that can mess with the see-through look of the device. While we didn’t use the device long enough to register any scratches on this lid, it does not seem like it can ward them off, especially if the case shares the pocket with keys and loose change. On the bright side, this case is rated IP55 for dust and water resistance.In-ear design for the earbuds is the correct choice for the Ear (2). Anything else and you’d have to settle for mediocre ANC (if you get any at all) and no size options. We also like that Nothing colour codes the left and right earbuds instead of leaving the user to find the appropriate lettering before putting them on. The right earbud has a red dot on its panel while the left bud has a white dot right next to the noise-cancelling microphone. The earbud stems respond to pinch gestures for audio and call controls. We like this approach as it greatly reduces accidental touches, but it takes some time to get used to the double pinch gesture.We did not have any issues with the fit during our time with the Nothing Ear (2). These earbuds feel comfortable inside the ear and you can easily work out while wearing them. Since the outer panel only responds to sideways pinching gestures, you can easily adjust the earbuds in your ear and not worry about pausing the music. Even in sweaty conditions, the fit remains secure.
Nothing Ear (2) review: Performance
Pairing Nothing Ear (2) with your smartphone or PC is as easy as it gets. All you need to do is flip open the lid and use your phone to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. For devices that struggle with finding the TWS, the Bluetooth pairing button on the side of the case will be of tremendous help. With an 11.6mm audio driver on either earbud, the Ear (2) delivers a thumping output.Nothing has done a great job of curating Ear (2)’s sound profile. Special attention has been paid to the mid and low frequencies, without letting them cloud over the entire mix. The subtleties of the higher frequencies do not go unnoticed either – they are well represented on the soundstage. We used the Ear (2) to listen to a diverse range of genres, and the earbuds produced did justice to the mix every time. Listening to Khruangbin on the Ear (2) was a delight. The sharp hits of the hi-hat in the background were very distinct, just as the mix commanded. Even though the lower end of the mix felt a little elevated, it made for a great listening experience. The audio output barely distorts upon cranking up the volume, but we wish these earbuds were a bit louder.Advanced Equalizer on the Nothing X appThe Nothing X app remains the best TWS support app we’ve used, and it only gets better with the new firmware update. The new ‘Advanced Equaliser’ feature gives the user more control over the audio output. We’ve seen this feature before on several TWS products, but Nothing’s intuitive approach to the process is far ahead of the curve. The graphical interface for the 8-band interface makes it very easy to control. Any changes made to the equaliser are instantly reflected on the audio output. The Nothing X app also lets you manually set the frequency and Q factor for every band. You can also share your equaliser profile with other users, and import someone else’s profile by scanning a QR code within the app.ANC and other featuresNothing Ear (2)’s ANC chops are seriously impressive for a TWS in this price range. In an indoor environment, Ear (2) easily cancels out the general humdrum. If you’re sitting inside a car, these earbuds will not completely nullify the surrounding traffic noise but reduce it to a more conducive level. You can change the level of ANC from the Nothing X app and even set up a personalised profile.Another feature which we really enjoyed using was multi-device connectivity. You can pair the Nothing Ear (2) with two devices at one time. So, if you’re watching a movie on your laptop, these earbuds will pause the playback and play your phone’s ringtone every time you get a call. The only problem we encountered was that the transition between devices wasn’t seamless. While the earbuds quickly adapted during calls, switching media playback between two devices took some time.The transparent case packs a 485mAh battery. Each earbud also holds 33mAh of charge. With ANC turned off, you can push the battery life to 6 hours, with an additional 36 hours inside the case. This amounts to 6 complete charge cycles. We were constantly using ANC on the Ear (2) and were able to squeeze out 3-4 hours of use. The charging case gave us 4 complete charge cycles. Not bad for a TWS in this price range.Read Also:Meta brings a new update to Threads, to impose rate limits to combat spam
Verdict
We personally prefer the black Ear (2) over the white one. It keeps the transparent design from looking too campy and brings its own special flair. The Advanced Equaliser is a brilliant addition too, one that certainly won’t be reduced to a gimmick. The overall sound profile of this TWS is very pleasing and will appeal to most ears. But what really sells this TWS is its amazing app support.
In order to comply with regulations around recording phone calls without the other party’s consent, Android smartphones are required to use the Google Phone app as their default dialer.

Users who previously had their permissions set to allow message requests from everyone will be migrated to this new setting, but can switch back at any time.”In its previous version, Twitter has given two options to its users. They can either allow everyone to DM them or only allow users who they follow to message/DM them. If the user only allowed DMs from users they followed others would not get an option of messaging them. However, with the new Twitter settings, every user will be able to see the DM button but after clicking on it non Twitter Blue subscribers will see a prompt asking them to subscribe to Twitter Blue to message.
