OnePlus Nord | A Retro Review

The original OnePlus Nord. The budget version of the first brand to offer the "Flagship killer." This is a long time coming review of the phone which I'd been using for the past 5 years. After all this time it's finally time for an upgrade as the phone has gotten sluggish and battery drains faster than I'd like without using it too much.

Checkout the video to find out more and to see what phone I might be getting.

Instagram Image Sizes

So I had an issue with my code snippet posting on instagram
https://www.instagram.com/codenlife/

Where the template I had used initially resulted in text that was too small to be legible.
So basically it came down to the different size formats and how it could trip up the unwary poster.
Here are the different resolutions available:



Square

Max Resolution: 1080 x 1080
Aspect ratio: 1:1

Both sides are equal and can range from 600 x 600 to 1080 x 1080.
Anything larger than 1080x1080 will be resized to fit and anything smaller than 600 x 600 is not
recommended at all as quality will suffer.

Landscape

Max Resolution: 1080 x 566
Aspect ratio: 16:9

Horizontal side is longer than the vertical.
This is the one I used originally resulting in tiny illegible text.
This one takes the least amount of visible space on the page. Offering
the least screen real estate of the three.

Portrait 

Max Resolution: 1080 x 1350
Aspect ratio: 4:5

Vertical side is longer than the horizontal.
This could be an ideal candidate for say an infographic or anything that requires more length area.

For the purposes of code snippets using a square format is the best option it fits precisely within Instagram's crop area so as not to require much adjusting compared to the others.

YouTube Keyboard shortcuts

It's often easier to use keyboard shortcuts then navigating to and through menus and clicks. Most programs have handy little shortcuts to expedite processes, most of which can be configured. Websites have these too although most aren't evident until you accidentally hit upon it or the site points it outright.
Here are a list of YouTube keyboard shortcuts which will lessen the amount of clicking and mousing; some are only accessible through the shortcut keys:

Reguar Shortcuts (only works when focus is on the video)

Space - Pause/resume video
Left/Right Arrow/- Rewind or forward in 5 second increments
