hey everyone welcome back for another
0:02
deep dive with us you know how much we
0:04
love digging into interesting corners of
0:06
the tech world and today we're doing
0:08
just that oh yeah sounds fun it is we're
0:10
looking at a website called fixing Pro
0:13
their tagline is fixing Tech using Pro
0:16
tips and it seems to be all about
0:18
solving those little Tech annoyances we
0:20
all run into you know the ones that make
0:22
you want to Chuck your phone across the
0:23
room I've been there for sure H right so
0:25
they have different sections on the site
0:27
like how to guides Games pro fixes is
0:30
even a pro FAQ section no but the thing
0:33
that really grabbed my attention was the
0:35
article titles what do you mean well
0:37
there's super specific like really
0:39
specific for example one is Android
0:42
stuck and restart bootloop with like a
0:44
little easy ways added or another one is
0:47
Cash app not sending verification code
0:50
SM mail fixed huh those are pretty Niche
0:54
I know right it's not just general
0:55
advice it's like they're zeroing in on
0:57
those very particular problems that can
0:59
drive D you crazy yeah I can see that
1:01
almost everyone's dealt with those kinds
1:03
of issues at some point exactly and that
1:05
makes me think they're targeting people
1:07
who have already tried the basic stuff
1:09
you know the usual troubleshooting steps
1:12
and need something more advanced it's
1:14
like they're going a level deeper
1:15
interesting but before we get too into
1:17
the weeds with the content itself I
1:19
think it's worth taking a look at who's
1:20
behind all this yeah good point let's
1:22
head over to the About Us section so it
1:25
looks like the main author the guy
1:27
running the show is a guy named canal
1:29
kop okay and get this not only does he
1:32
have fixing Pro but he also runs a
1:34
YouTube channel called backd Droid and
1:37
on top of that he's received recognition
1:39
from the Indian government and
1:41
entrepreneur namita thar wow that's
1:43
quite a resume it is right I mean having
1:46
a presence on multiple platforms like
1:47
that plus getting recognized by those
1:49
kinds of figures definitely suggests he
1:51
knows his stuff for sure it lends a
1:52
certain level of credibility to the site
1:54
wouldn't you say absolutely it makes you
1:57
wonder though how does he find the time
2:00
to manage all of that yeah that's a lot
2:03
to juggle you know what's kind of
2:04
interesting about the site they're not
2:06
just all about serious Tech fixes they
2:08
have like a whole section on games too
2:11
oh yeah I saw that so there are articles
2:13
about fixing lag in Minecraft or pubg
2:16
mobile it kind of makes me think that
2:18
they're not just targeting like super
2:20
techy people yeah true it's it's a good
2:23
mix of practical stuff and fun stuff it
2:25
feels like they're trying to reach a
2:26
broader audience right exactly because
2:29
let's be honest everyone has those
2:31
moments where Tech just gets in the way
2:32
of having fun totally agree speaking of
2:35
reaching a wider audience I noticed that
2:36
they use the phrase Pro tips a lot oh
2:39
yeah I saw that too like every other
2:41
sentence it feels like it's almost like
2:43
they're trying to emphasize that they're
2:44
offering something special you know more
2:46
than just the basic advice you might
2:49
find elsewhere I get that but it makes
2:51
me wonder is there really such a thing
2:53
as a protip when it comes to Tech or is
2:55
it just marketing that's a good question
2:58
I mean some of the fixes might seem
3:00
obvious to someone who's really into
3:03
Tech you know like a developer or
3:04
something yeah I see your point but I do
3:07
think there's value in having someone
3:09
with expertise break it down for the
3:10
rest of us especially when it comes to
3:13
those super specific problems that you
3:14
wouldn't even know how to Google you're
3:16
right you're right and that actually
3:17
reminds me of an article title that I
3:19
saw that I was really curious about it
3:21
was how to fix the USB debugging grade
3:25
out easy steps do you know what USB
3:28
debugging is yeah USB debugging it
3:31
basically lets your Android device talk
3:33
to a computer mhm it's usually used by
3:35
Developers for like transferring data
3:38
installing software or accessing system
3:40
files okay that makes sense so why would
3:42
someone need to fix it being gray out
3:45
well if it's grade out it means you
3:46
can't turn it on which is a problem if
3:48
you need to connect your device to your
3:50
computer for any of those reasons gotcha
3:52
so it's probably not something that the
3:54
average person would need to worry about
3:55
but for someone who's more tech-savvy it
3:57
could be a huge roadblock exact exctly
4:00
and what's interesting is that fixing
4:01
pro has a guide for that that's pretty
4:04
Niche wouldn't you say it is yeah and
4:06
that's kind of what I'm finding so
4:07
fascinating about this site they're
4:09
going beyond the surface level issues
4:12
that everyone knows about and addressing
4:14
those super specific problems that only
4:17
a handful of people might encounter it's
4:20
like they're filling a void in the tech
4:22
support world you have the general
4:23
forums manufacturer help pages but what
4:27
about those weird really specific issues
4:29
ues fixing Pro might just be the answer
4:32
yeah that's a good way to put it and
4:34
remember we haven't even touched on his
4:35
YouTube channel back Droid I'm curious
4:37
to see how that fits into the whole
4:39
picture me too you think it might be
4:41
more visual like walkthroughs the fixes
4:43
in the website could be I mean videos
4:45
are great for showing you how to do
4:46
things step by step but then again he
4:48
got that recognition from entrepreneur
4:49
and namita thar so maybe it's more
4:52
business focused like tips for Tech
4:54
entrepreneurs or something hm now that
4:56
you mention it that does seem like a
4:58
possibility it explain the recognition
5:00
right I mean it would suggest that he's
5:02
not just good at fixing Tech issues but
5:04
also at building a business around it
5:06
right it's almost like we're seeing a
5:08
different side of canol kop now not just
5:10
the tech expert but also a potential
5:13
entrepreneur this is getting really
5:14
interesting we started with a website
5:16
about fixing Tech problems and now we're
5:18
talking about entrepreneurship and
5:20
content creation it's amazing how
5:22
interconnected everything is in the tech
5:24
World absolutely it just makes me even
5:26
more Curious to dive into backd Droid
5:28
and see what we find okay so we spent a
5:30
good chunk of time now digging into
5:31
fixing Pro looking at the content who
5:33
it's for and even the guy behind it all
5:36
Kunal I got to say I'm pretty impressed
5:38
is like they found this really specific
5:41
Niche you know tackling those super
5:44
annoying Tech problems that most help
5:46
sites just gloss over I agree it's the
5:49
depth and how specific they get that
5:51
makes fixing Crow stand out they're not
5:53
just skimming the surface they're like
5:55
really getting into the nuts and bolts
5:57
of these Tech issues and coming up with
6:00
you wouldn't find just by like doing a
6:02
quick Google Search right and what's
6:04
really cool is that they do it in a way
6:06
that even someone like me who's not
6:08
super techy can understand I mean I
6:11
actually get what USB debugging is now
6:13
after you explained it that's a win in
6:15
my book yeah for sure that's what makes
6:17
good Tech communication so valuable
6:19
being able to take something complicated
6:21
and explain it in a way that everyone
6:23
gets without you know dumbing it down or
6:24
getting things wrong and it seems like
6:26
kunal's pretty good at that both on
6:28
fixing Pro and I'm guessing on his
6:31
YouTube channel back Droid too speaking
6:34
of backd droid I'm really curious to see
6:36
what that's all about we were talking
6:37
about it maybe being more visual or even
6:40
business focused but I guess the best
6:42
way to find out is to just check it out
6:43
ourselves totally and that's part of
6:45
what makes this so exciting right we
6:46
learned a lot about fixing Pro today but
6:48
now we have this whole other thing to
6:50
explore with backd Droid it's like one
6:52
Deep dive led to another a deep dive
6:54
within a deep dive exactly so for
6:56
everyone listening what was the most
6:58
interesting thing you learned about
6:59
fixing Pro today was it how specific the
7:02
articles are the fact that Kunal is
7:04
doing this whole multiplatform thing or
7:07
maybe just the idea that Pro tips
7:08
actually exist I'm curious to hear what
7:11
stuck out to you too like did any of the
7:13
article titles we talked about make you
7:15
think oh hey I could actually use that
7:18
definitely the one about the cash app
7:20
verification code I've been in that
7:22
situation before just waiting for that
7:24
code and feeling totally stuck knowing
7:26
that there's a website out there with a
7:28
potential fix is a huge relief yeah I
7:31
get that it shows how useful a resource
7:33
like fixing Pro can be it's not just
7:35
about knowing a bunch of technical stuff
7:37
it's about giving people the tools to
7:39
solve their own Tech problems and like
7:41
Take Back Control over their digital
7:42
lives so well said and if that sounds
7:45
like something you need in your life we
7:47
highly recommend checking out fixing Pro
7:48
we'll put a link in the episode
7:50
description and hey while you're at it
7:52
