https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity The one big thing that has come out of the whole Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal is that people are more aware of their privacy. Prior to it, there weren’t too many questions being asked. Knowingly or unknowingly most of us shared our data without a second thought of where is it going and who’s sharing what. Not anymore though as there’s a greater sense of awareness. And companies like Google and Facebook are becoming more transparent with how your data is being used. Recently, Google came out with new privacy policy and is letting users “understand” what information is being collected.

I have just resolved one of my longest unresolved open problem at home i.e. my router was not able to get pass through walls, as it was setup in other room WIFI signals were weak or even negligence in Hall/Living room and it needs to resolve, I have tried upgrading router to better bands, but problem was same. so finally came across product which converts or sends internet signals over copper cables. one adapter connects physically next to your router and other can be setup anywhere at your home connected to same electrical cables which decodes the signal and give you good quality internet. How does it work! Please find attached screenshot. The Product which I am using is TPLINK Powerline AV600! (Its not your WiFi extender which needs to be in same range and try to boost) its like extending physical internet cable experience over copper electric cables. In detail: The Powerline solution is less visible − a 'no new wires' approach. You buy a basic kit, which comes with ...

Hello Fellas, RDP was built by Microsoft to take remote control and always kept the resolution dynamic which is out of control sometime as it detect underneath hardware and accordingly adjust the resolution of machine/server which you have taken.

Red Hat has been made aware of multiple microarchitectural (hardware) implementation issues affecting many modern microprocessors, requiring updates to the Linux kernel, virtualization-related components, and/or in combination with a microcode update.  An unprivileged attacker can use these flaws to bypass conventional memory security restrictions in order to gain read access to privileged memory that would otherwise be inaccessible. There are 3 known CVEs related to this issue in combination with Intel, AMD, and ARM architectures. Additional exploits for other architectures are also known to exist. These include IBM System Z,  POWER8 (Big Endian and Little Endian), and POWER9 (Little Endian). Impact:- The following Red Hat product versions are impacted: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Red Hat Atomic Host Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 Red Hat OpenShift Online v2 Red Hat OpenShift Online v3 Red Hat Virtual...

Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions (and a " mining rig " is a colloquial metaphor for a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for "mining"). This ledger of past transactions is called the  block chain  as it is a chain of  blocks . The block chain serves to  confirm  transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the block chain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere. Mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult so that the number of blocks found each day by miners remains steady. Individual  blocks  must contain a  proof of work  to be considered valid. This proof of work is verified by other Bitcoin nodes each time they receive a block. Bitcoin uses the  hashcash  proof-of-work function. The p...

I was working on script which was suppose to pull information from existing .CSV file, another problem is you dont know when new file get generate and you have to fetch data from it.  hence what i did is wrote a code which pulls the information from latest file which got created recently under that particular folder. $file = get-childitem "Path" | select -last 1 Instead of  path put the share name or unc path without "". Write-host "File Selected - $($file.fullname)" This will give actually information about which file you are targeting to pull information. Script.:- $file = get-childitem "Path" | select -last 1 $ServerInfo = import-csv $file.fullname  $ServerInfo |? OU -eq 'General' | Export-Csv C:\TEMP\\Eapps_$currentdate.csv Write-host "File Selected - $($file.fullname)"

Specified path was invalid (During Cluster creation for File Witness server) Hey Guys,  I just want to explain how small things can impact you while working on New cluster creation. recently we were working on cluster creation and file witness share was not accepted by Cluster, After  troubleshoot we come to know there were 2 issues one with Share permission and other is Security permission. In our case we were using comman id for creating cluster and Id was having permission to login to server.  but the same id was not part of administrator group on server where file witness share was created  and in share permission also it was not showing listed hence cluster was not accepting file Path. Please make sure id under which you are ruing cluster services should be added in the security permission along with computer account which get created as cluster name. on a side note will like to inform you, You should give cluster name (compute...

Today we will talk about commands which will give you more information about Ports on your machine and Server.  1) Portqry Use following syntax for the same.  Portqry – e PORT -n SERVERNAME 2) Tect-Netconnection https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn372891(v=wps.630).aspx Test-NetConnection – I used it today to check if the HTTPS port (443) was active on a test server I was working on.  Pretty useful command! There is a parameter called ‘CommonTCPPort’ and you can use it to check if SMB,HTTP,RDP, or Ping are available.
