Microsoft is shutting off its internet games on windows
Tags: Microsoft, Windows 10

Well that’s hard to believe that we will never see checkers and stuff again. A goodbye farewell is bidden by the team ,”While we’re saddened to leave this chapter behind, we continue to be committed to delivering engaging, delightful gaming experiences,” says Microsoft in a blog post. Well ,that makes me wonder if there would be some variation on these casual games will make a comeback later — perhaps Microsoft will include an upgraded Internet Games package with whatever the next version of Windows is.

It’s time to move on for Microsoft users of older Windows versions as they are removing their favorite board and card games,

Including Hearts ,Reversi,MSN Go,etc.Windows XP users and Windows ME users will loose their access first.

This is all because Microsoft has stopped regular maintenance of Windows XP and ME.

Img Src:alphr.com

These games will fade away from Windows XP on July 31 and from Windows 7 until January 22, 2020.

As a Windows user one must be aware,that Microsoft bundles a handful of games with its Windows operating system. This featute has been leading over the past decade or so of Windows releases, but it seems that Microsoft has ultimately decided that they will be retiring some of them.

They appreciated the passion users showed in Microsoft Internet Games.This has been a great community. They hinted to invest the resources towards more recent technologies so that they may continue to deliver great new experiences.

What Do We Think?

Img Src:alphr.com

Well it’s not entirely shocking either as every other companies are switching towards new technologies. Since, Microsoft had already largely phased these games out with the release of Windows 10. These are applications which have simply got lost in time with Windows XP out of support and Windows 7 set to join it next year. If Microsoft wanted to bring Ski Free back, we wouldn’t complain.

What do you think? When was the last time you played one of these games? Will you be sad to see them go? Let us know in the comments!
Windows 10 IoT & Raspberry PI
By: Kevin Williams
Tags: IoT, Raspberry Pi, Windows 10 Iot Core, Windows 10

I’ve been wanting to get back into electronics for a while, and have had an interest in IoT specifically. So, over the weekend, I decided to see what was involved with getting Windows IoT set up on a Raspberry PI.

The first thing I had to do was download the Windows IoT Dashboard so I could add an IoT Core image to the SD card used by the Raspberry PI.

Once the dashboard is installed, just choose “Setup a new device,” enter the required information, then click “Download and Install”. The SD card will need to be inserted into the computer before hand of course.

Now that you’re done with that, simply insert the SD card into Raspberry PI.

I wanted to create a smart-display that will be used to control a number of other devices, so there was some setup I did for the board before hand.

I purchased a 7" touchscreen display, and a case from amazon. The case wasn’t too difficult to set up — attach the mount to the base with a couple screws, and remove the cover that secures the Raspberry PI in place.

For the screen, you insert one end of a display cable into the display and the other into the Raspberry PI. You then run jumper cables from the 5v and gnd from the display to the corresponding pins on the Raspberry PI

You can view the full set of instructions from the manufacturer here.

Once everything’s setup, plug in power and you’re good to go. The Raspberry PI starts up with the IoT Core image.

The next step will be to get an app installed and working!

Garage Door Repair — Leave Torsion Springs to the Professionals

Supplanting torsion springs is a dash of work that should be done incidentally. There are loads of districts that disclose to you how to do it with no other person. Regardless, torsion springs are incomprehensibly dangerous and, beside in case you are VERY arranged with the correct instruments and experience, and beside if you give the strictest idea while propelling them, you could lose fingers, furthest points or even your life. Instead of trying to do it with no other individual’s help, it is very suggested that you use a garage door repair able to finish the obligation in regards to you.

What Are Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are a crucial piece of your garage door. These are metal springs that are the key fragment to be settled framework that opens and closes it. These doors check a couple of pounds; even the lightest may weigh as much as 100 pounds. Precisely when the torsion springs are completely surrounded, the doors are open; when the doors are straight, the springs are widened straight.

In the two positions, these springs are under groups of strain. They are in like way staggeringly significant. Now and again, they should be supplanted. On the off chance that they wear out and break while it is being used, it will all in all be remarkably dangerous for anybody standing close-by.

Yes, let’s think differently how we eat.
By: Rob Moir
Tags: Environment, Climate Change, Oceans, Fishing

Yes, let’s think differently how we eat. When buying fish ask the fishmonger (mine is at the local supermarket) about the least expensive fish. Chances are its cheap because it’s locally abundant. Pollack, hake and ocean perch (Acadian redfish) are white flaky fish like cod but are sustainably fish. In the US the cod is likely frozen from Iceland. On the rare occasions cod is caught locally fishermen get a good price due to what people pay for Iceland cod.

Aquaculture salmon is blander and less expensive than wild caught. This is a good introductory fish and salmon sales have surpassed tuna. In America, unlike France, tuna had to be made bland to sell.

Gateway fish consumption is important because legislators represent their constituents. If people beyond Gloucester and New Bedford eat fish, even bland fish regulations get passed.

Overfishing in international waters is a problem, mostly by the Chinese. Here in America legislators stop that at our boarders with the high seas fisheries act stopping imports of questionably caught fish.

In the US, with 285 commercially valuable fish stocks only 28 stocks are over fished. Two are cod, in the Gulf of Maine and on Georges Banks. These stocks cost more.

For many, including ethnic groups, fish is an important part of their diet. Because they eat low on the food chain, anchovies, herring, mackerel, they avoid the poisons that bioaccumulate in bluefin tuna and swordfish.

We are tied to the oceans for protein, don’t forget oysters, clams, quahogs and mussels, even jellyfish. The earth is not overpopulated when the ocean provides. It just irritates the haves that they cannot subdue those not interest in material possessions. Just food, shelter and fellowship.
SHINING A LIGHT ON CLIMATE CHANGE

SHINING A LIGHT ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Do you see what I see?

This fluorescent phytoplankton bloom off the coast of Laguna Beach in 2020, similar to that seen this week, reminds me of the NASA studies of phytoplankton attempting to sort out the impact of the warming of ocean waters.

This is what the National Resources Defense Council said about plankton 9/9/2020:

“Betcha a nickel you don’t know what plankton is. Less than 9 percent of college-educated Americans do,according to a very unscientific survey of semi-randomly selected people I happen to know (n=12). That’s a shame, because plankton is an incredibly important part of the marine ecosystem, and it’s behaving in increasingly weird ways. A recent study from researchers at Stanford University shows that the growth rate of a type of plankton called phytoplankton in the Arctic Ocean has increased 57 percent between 1998 and 2018, with uncertain implications for animals higher up the food chain (which is most of them, including us).”

The timing of growth of these microorganisms is crucial for the ocean’s food chain (phytoplankton are eaten by zooplankton, which are eaten by small fish, which are eaten by larger fish and mammals).

The NRDC explained that as of 2010, phytoplankton blooms were occurring on average 50-days earlier in the spring than they historically would. “That’s a problem because the marine ecosystem is synced to the beginning of the algae season.” This can potentially cause certain types of fish stocks to be less able to eat, breed and survive.

In addition, as explained by NASA, the chemical DMS, which phytoplankton releases, becomes an aerosol in the atmosphere, and this provides tiny objects upon which water droplets can form, supporting rainfall.

Being educated about all the ramifications of global warming is like developing a sixth sense — a climate sense. Suddenly you can detect what was previously hidden in plain sight, like shining a black light on crime scene or a touched-up artwork.

It all traces back to the effects of carbon dioxide, which also takes special equipment to “see.”

After all, you can’t resist what you can’t “see.”

Laguna Beach
Dream or Reality
By: Isha Lakhani
Tags: Oceans, Beach, Descriptive Writing, Surreal, Beauty

I could not comprehend whether it was a dream or reality, whether I was standing on the sky or I had been upside down. I had never seen such crystal clear blue water earlier before ever. The halcyon ceaseless idyllic ocean was mesmerizing. The scintillating light of the sun falling on the water and forming radiant designs was enchanting. The coarse and gravelly yet sheer white sand was something very rare. The crescendo as the waves came nearer to the shore was melodious. The incoming and outgoing of clouds made it tough to identify the weather as heavily hot or pleasingly pleasant. Behind me was a plethora of towering colossal green palm trees and towards the ground were tiny plants that were like a microcosm of the palms. The bristly yet exquisite seashells were of various shapes, but the one that was the most distinctive was the saucer-shaped one. One of the exclusive features of this beach was that everything was impeccable. I could smell the redolent fragrance of the brightly colored flowers. The luminescence of the hot ball of fire made me feel warm and comforted just like it feels when I am in my mother’s lap. The mellifluous twittering of the sparrows was euphonious and beguiling. Far away there was a splendiferous mushroom-shaped rock. A blue and orange-hued bird perched upon the rock and it seemed like the bird thought of the mushroom as a real source of food. A long chain of black boomerang-shaped birds forming vivid designs and patterns each time was novel. The iridescent corals stretched far way into the sea till it got invisible. The vividly shaded, shaped and sized fishes seemed to be in-sync and the tiny sharks were frightening yet enthralling. As I grew hungrier, I saw pulpy succulent large apples but wasn’t sure of them being edible. But I ate them anyway and my life was never the same.
Is Windows Vista still usable in 2019?
By: Lil Ramen
Tags: Vista, Windows 10, Mac, Os, Technology

This weekend for a trip, I was planning to do audio mixing. I picked up a laptop from a thrift store for $13. It was a Dell E4310, which in theory would be a great laptop for light audio work, and light gaming. The previous owner had decided to install Windows Vista Home Premium on it. Luckily it had 4 GB RAM, instead of 1 or 2, and was an I5 model.

Quick background on Windows Vista. It released in 2006, and was known for being extremely slow and intensive on resources especially for laptops at the time which had anywhere from 512MB of RAM to 2 GB as a “high end” *laughs in 16 gb*. Three years later it was replaced by Windows 7 as the new and improved Windows, and in 2017 removed from official Microsoft support.

The Dell E4310 is a business laptop, at core. It’s a 13 inch cut down version of the Dell E6410 from my understanding. These are very versatile laptops, where you can remove just about everything, very simply. But this is about Vista, not the laptop itself. My first experience was loading up Opera, and going to Facebook. Facebook actually worked like a charm, if a bit slow because of the mechanical hard drive. My next was my home school site, Connexus. It worked pretty well too, if a bit slow.

I thought for my next venture, I should try to download more than a browser.

First attempt was Discord.

Straight up just didn’t work.

I bought this laptop for portable audio mixing, so next was Audacity.

This was tricky, I knew the most recent version wouldn’t work, so I tried 2.3, which promptly after installation didn’t work. I tried about 4 different versions before giving up.

After that, I was done with Vista, it was no longer of interest. I tried to download a Windows 10 ISO straight from Microsoft, plugged in a 32 GB USB flash drive, and what do you know, it wouldn’t work. I have a theory that Vista doesn’t support over 4 GB USB flash drives, since this was the 32 bit version, for some reason. I tried 2 different 32 GB flash drives, and I’ll just stick with my theory.

My basic question to you : What do you do? That’s all that matter when you choose out any OS. Some people can get away with MS-DOS on something like a Brother Desktop Publisher, and others might need a fully specced out I9 15 inch Macbook Pro.

Despite that, I’d go way way out of my way to use Windows 7 or 10 even if the PC just wouldn’t do it, Vista just doesn’t cut it for anyone anymore. It makes any computer feel a decade older than it is.
Building the new Windows Terminal app from source
Tags: Microsoft, Windows 10, Windows Terminal, Build 2019, Visual Studio

I felt experimental and tried to build and run it. This is how it worked for me:

Build and install from source

upgrade to Windows 10 1903 (there’s no working MediaCreation tool available for 1903 yet, an easy way to obtain it is to generate an ISO file with: https://uup.rg-adguard.net/)

enable Developer Mode (to be able to install unsigned UWP apps out of Visual Studio)

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock /v AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

install Visual Studio 2019 Community (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16)

make sure to install the .NET desktop, UWP, C++ Desktop roles

in addition, in individual components, also select all C++ v142 components, C++ ATL support and the Windows 10 SDK 10.0.18362.0.

after the Visual Studio installation, add the C++/WinRT extension from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CppWinRTTeam.cppwinrt101804264

download nuget.exe and place it in a folder that is part of the PATH env var (i.e. c:\windows\system32)

https://www.nuget.org/downloads



cd Terminal

git submodule update --init --recursive

nuget restore OpenConsole.sln git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal.git cd Terminalgit submodule update --init --recursivenuget restore OpenConsole.sln

open OpenConsole.sln in Visual Studio 2019. Switch the configuration to Release / x64.

in the Solution explorer on the right, right-click on the CascadiaPackage project and click Deploy. This will build all required projects and, if successful, install the UWP app in Windows.

If successful, we end up with having a new start menu entry Windows Terminal (Preview).

the new terminal app in the Windows 10 start menu

Running Windows Terminal app

Starting Windows Terminal (Preview) from start menu gives a terminal window with the cmd shell.

Terminal app after start

Press CTRL + T to open a second tab. This enables the tab bar, that also has a menu on the right side that allows you to switch between various configured shells and also lets you access the settings.

tab bar and menu

The settings are a convenient json file that allows to define color profiles and shell profiles.

Adding WSL distros

I have the Debian Linux WSL distro installed, so let’s add a profile for it, in the profiles section of the config.

{

"guid": "{09dc5eef-6840-4050-ae69-21e55e6a2e62}",

"name": "Debian (WSL)",

"colorscheme": "Campbell",

"historySize": 9001,

"snapOnInput": true,

"cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",

"cursorShape": "bar",

"commandline": "debian.exe",

"fontFace": "Consolas",

"fontSize": 12,

"acrylicOpacity": 0.75,

"useAcrylic": true,

"closeOnExit": false,

"padding": "0, 0, 0, 0"

}

Now it’s possible to open new Debian tabs right from the tab menu:

it’s easy to add custom shell profiles — here for a WSL distro

So, what can it do…?

…Unicode in cmd and powershell? 🤔

Kind of! 😍

… Unicode in Linux (WSL and ssh)?

Even better! 👍

Linux present in boot menu(BIOS) even after deleting its partition from disk management ?
By: Ipsita Mazumder

Linux present in boot menu(BIOS) even after deleting its partition from disk management ? Ipsita Mazumder Mar 21·2 min read

If this is the problem you have been facing quite sometime and not been able to find a solution , then you have reached the correct place to solve it in a safe and quite an easy manner.

Why do you still find Linux (earlier dual booted with Windows) in your boot menu even after successfully deleting its partition in the disk management ?

Because, the GRUB bootloader is still present in your PC’s EFI partition.

To solve this issue -

Step 1: Open CMD(Command Prompt) as administrator.

Step 2: Type “diskpart” .

Step 3: Type “list disk” to see the EFI partitions in your computer.

Step 4: Type “select disk 0” (Disk 0 is the single physical drive you have in your system, a 1TB HDD where your Windows is installed.)

Step 5: Type “list partition” to identify the EFI “system” partition.

Step 6: Type “select partition 1” (As in my computer “system” partition number was 1, so in your case type the number accordingly).

Step 7: Type “assign letter=x” (You will find around 126 mb allocated in windows explorer under drive ‘x’).

Step 8: Type “exit” to come out of “diskpart”.

Step 9: Type “x:”

Step 10: Type “dir’’ (you will find contents of your EFI system partition).

Step 11: Change your directory by typing “cd efi”.

Step 12: Type “dir” then press enter(you will find a folder named as your previously installed Linux version , which you are about to completely delete now ).

Step 13: Type “rd …/s” . (Put the name of your Linux folder which you want to delete in place of “…” , e.g: rd ubuntu/s).

Step 14: Type ‘Y’ to conform the deletion.

Step 15: Type “dir” to check if the required Linux folder was deleted.

The drive ‘x’ which was allocated earlier will itself get dismounted after a few fresh boot up’s. So, you don't need to format it explicitly .Even if you try formatting it, the Windows OS won’t give you the permission to do so.

Just saved you some precious hours of Googling ! :-)

Sometimes we face Windows 10 Activation problems even after having a genuine License key…

In today’s guide, I will try to explain to you guys how to solve this problem in Windows 10 step by step…

Note : Make sure you are not using any illegal way to activate your windows 10 like using those illegal kmspico tools which mostly have virus infected files…If you want to keep your system clean, do not install any such harmful tools because they mostly contains virus & will infect/damage your entire operating system…If you don’t already have a valid or genuine windows 10 license, then first get windows license key from any genuine site, source or service provider as per your liking…

1) First Right-Click on your Windows Start menu & click on “System”…The below System menu will open like this below…Scroll to the bottom until you can see your Windows 10 version…Now click on that highlighted link that says Change Product Key or upgrade your edition of Windows…

2) After clicking the above mentioned link, it will show you the current activation status of your Windows 10 computer like the below screenshot…In my case, I have my Windows 10 Pro already Activated…

The screenshots here are showing the Microsoft windows activation screens for windows 10 Pro…If you have Windows 10 Home installed on your machine, these two screens will show you the windows edition written as Windows 10 Home…

3) If you have entered a license here before & it still shows unable to activate or shows you an invalid license error, Please do the following method to overcome this problem…

A) Open a Command Prompt Window (CMD) with Admin rights…For this, you can simply right click on your start menu & click on “ Windows Powershell (Admin)”…If it asks for any permission, give that permission & the Command Prompt/Powershell with Admin screen will open…

B) Now enter this command in your Powershell/Command Prompt window → slmgr /upk & press enter…The above command will uninstall the product key from your system & you will get a confirmation saying that the product key has been uninstalled successfully…

C) Now you will need to come back to the Activation screen shown before…Now this screen will show to you that, no product key found…You will now need to insert your genuine license key in the Update Product Key section & click activate…

Congratulations…Your Windows 10 will be successfully Activated now…If you still get any error message after properly following the above steps, you may have a dead/invalid license & you will need to talk to your dealer or the place from where you have purchased the license from to either get a refund or a replacement…Make sure to always try to buy or get windows 10 license key from a genuine source like I previously mentioned at the start of this article…

I also tried to verify if there are any VNC software under HKLM\SOFTWARE\ but did not find any.

Answer: TeamViewer

Q6. What was the host name of the machine Selma used to remote into the Desktop at 6:35PM on the 18th of March?

If you look at the above Connections_incoming.txt screenshot you will find the answer as JHYDE-SP

Answer: JHYDE-SP

Q7. How many unique machines accessed the Desktop via TeamViewer?

a.6

b.2

c.4

d.3

The distinct number of desktop names which are captured under Connections_incoming.txt is the answer for the above challenge.

Answer: 3

Q8. What is the volume serial number of the volume the sharepoint archive was placed on (format: decimal number)?

I ended up working a lot on this challenge as i was copy pasting my output with space and took so many options and finally found the solution was right in front of me the whole time.

Alright Let me narrate how i did that, the question is about the volume name where OneDrive_1_3–18–2019.zip was placed. If you look at my screenshot it was placed in Drive D:

So i started to get all link files where the extension name was ending with .txt and used KAPE module options to parse the output. The recent folder under Selma Appdata had this artifact.

Lnkfile Parsed using KAPE tool

Since the question specifically asks us to enter the format in Decimal number, I opened the default Windows Calculator in Programmer mode and copied the VSN in to HEX format. The decimal output gave me the required option.

Calculator

I copied the Decimal equivalent ‭2935122090‬ and entered in to the output box which was not accepted since i had a space in the front.

Other options that i tried….

I copied the Supersecretstuff.vhd under Selma’s Desktop and attached the VHD to disk management option. The volume was bitlocker protected. I then embarked my journey to look for any key that could indicate if bitlocker was cached somewhere. Then i found a paper which mentioned that bitlocker key could be retrieved from memory if present in hiberfil.sys which stores a copy of memory when you hibernate the machine. The acquired image did not have the required file.

The question also only had 2 tries to get to the right answer. So I created so many dummy Login accounts to increase my number of tries. Finally in one of the attempts i thought if was leaving some extra space between the answers. Voila!, there what a stupid mistake it was. But it gave me so many options to arrive at this problem.

Answer: 2935122090‬ (Dont leave any extra space in front :P)

Q9. Again, on the 18th of March at 18:08:57, another notification was given. What did this notification say?

I approached this question the same way i solved Q3, I filtered the push notification event window to 18:08:57 of March, 18th.
EC2-Instance ssh bad permission?

Tags: Aws Ec2, Windows 10, Ssh, Aws Instance

Often work with ssh and try to access AWS’s instance Linux terminal it’s prompt with error and can not access the machine through terminal.

For non-windows SSH is available and Chmod saves lives to get rid of this problem by Chmod 0400 and turn it green to access

but for windows users there are certain stages to consider.

if you are windows <10 users then you have to install putty and your private key file (pem) files need to be putty keygen compatible with the help of putty keygen tool and things will good to go.

if you are windows==10 user then great no need of extra tool just hit SSH on command prompt and good to go, but there are few things that need to do before accessing the key file.

Make sure this file is not shared by other users by click on property and security — there should one user there who has currently logged in rest users like “Administrator or others” should be removed. bear in mind only the user which is currently logged in.

Or

Copy your private key in the below location and things will good to go.

C:\Users\Mohsin\.ssh

After successful configure your happy screen would be like this :)

Hope you guys like it, this is my first article just to share what I have learned and stuck for about 15 minutes :D
