In this tutorial, we will show you a hidden option of windows which is called the God Mode. As its name says, it is a place where you can find almost every adjustable option of windows. This option can be used by creating a simple folder. We just need to rename it with a God Mode code and it changes into a complete set of options.
Follow this step by step guide to learn how to open the God Mode in Windows 8.
If you have been using a computer for some time, you probably lived up to the day when your faithful hard drive begins to fault. Depending on the gravity of its errors, here is an overview of what can go wrong and a short guide on how to fix that.
First, and most common type of errors, are errors in the logical structure of your hard drive. They appear when your hard drive was stopped during a reading or writing operation, and there was no time to reflect the change onto the logical disk maps that describe the continuity of information on your hard drive. In such case, a simple disk scan and repair is enough – the system will remove the ‘orphaned’ parts so you can copy them again properly.
Whether you’re designing a flyer, writing a digital letter or customizing a website, it could be useful to view and compare the fonts on your system quickly.
There’s a small free tool called ‘Fonticate’ that will let you type in any sentence and display it using all the fonts on your system, simultaneously.
Sometimes, for whatever reasons, you can experience problems with your wireless connection, but there are some simple ways to troubleshoot. Also, if you would like to share your Windows 8 PC’s wireless internet connection with other PCs, it’s easy to do so.
When you decide to keep a Web page to look at later, you’re doing something called “bookmarking”. Bookmarks are simply links to sites that you visit frequently or want to keep handy for reference. Sometimes you have accumulated many bookmarks and you can’t find the one you’re looking for, but you remember that you visited the site many times. So it might be useful to display your bookmarks by visit count.
In this tutorial, we will teach you how to download from ftp.
In Windows, you can easily download the contents of ftp site. Your ftp address would either be your domain name or IP address. You would need to contact your web host for both the FTP address and the username and password. In this tutorial, our focus is on downloading files from the ftp server.
In this tutorial, we will teach you how to create a font. For professional results, you need applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. But there are other alternatives out there.
Let’s get started by exploring some of those options here.
In this tutorial, we will teach you how to identify different fonts. For this tutorial, we will be using 3 different sources.
So let’s get started.
In this tutorial, we will teach you how to backup Linux files.
Backups basically come in handy when there is a system hardware failure. All your data is still intact, and you can continue on working without any sort of data loss. Furthermore, accidental deletion and viruses can corrupt your data, and it’s all the more easier to recover the data from a backup copy.
There are two popular programs for Linux-based operating systems, the first is the LuckyBackup application and the other is Déjà Dup, which we will be looking into in this video.
Déjà Dup is a simple Duplicity based backup tool installed by default in Ubuntu.
You can even use other applications such as LuckyBackup. The application can be downloaded from luckybackup.sourceforge.com where you can even get a complete detailed documentation about the software as well.
If you are using Ubuntu, you can even use the Ubuntu Software Center to download and install LuckyBackup on your system.
For this tutorial, we will be primarily looking into Deja Dub.
So let’s get started.
In this tutorial, we will teach you how to encrypt a folder with Truecrypt. Data encryption is completely based on cryptography, meaning storing the data in a secure, encrypted code.
There are basically two types of encryption. First is the symmetric encryption, where an encrypted message is sent to another computer which is able to translate the encrypted code into the intended message using a password.
The other is the asymmetric or the public-key encryption format which has a public and a private key. The private key is only meant for your computer while the public key is provided to the other computer which wants to communicate securely with your machine.
There are various types of different applications which help with encryption for example Cryptocat, a private and secure chat application, or Enigmail, a secure email client. Paypal, Amazon and all other services use some sort of encryption.
Although more secure, but for the average user at home, a simple symmetric encryption can certainly go a long way to keep your data secure.
For this tutorial, we will stick to TrueCrypt. So let’s get started.
