Support for Windows 7 ENDS!! NOW what to DO??!!

Windows 7 support ends in January. Here’s how you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free

Microsoft announced that it will end support for Windows 7 starting from on January 14, 2020. In a post on Microsoft Support web page, they revealed that Windows 7, which was released on October 22, 2009, will see Microsoft discontinue its support so that they can focus on supporting newer technologies and creating better experiences.

Revealing the “specific end of support day for Windows 7” to be January 14, 2020, Microsoft said that technical assistance and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your PC will no longer be available for the product.

The tech giant recommended that users move to Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 so that they do not suffer from non-availability of support for Windows 7.

The company said that if people continue to use their PC running Windows and without continued software and security updates “it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware.”

While there was a promotional free upgrade offer available when Windows 10 had first released, that offer expired on July 29, 2016. However, that does not mean that one cannot get Windows 10 for free.

Microsoft does not talk about the Windows 10 free upgrade anymore, instead urging users to purchase the new version, those with legitimate Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 licences could be upgraded to Windows 10 for free using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, reported Bleeping Computer.

The report reveals that to get Windows 10, one has to download and run Media Creation Tool on Windows 7/8/8.1 and upgrade the PC to Windows 10.

Here’s how you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free

-- Visit the Windows 10 download page.

-- Once there, click ‘Download Tool now’ button and download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

-- Open the Media Creation Tool and accept the licenCe terms.

-- Following this, select, ‘Upgrade this PC now’ option and click Next.

-- The tool prompts the user to either keep everything or start from scratch. Select ‘Keep personal files and apps’ and then click ‘Continue’.

-- Once you click on the Install button, Windows 10 will begin to be installed. The process requires a bit of time and will see the computer start numerous times.

After Windows 10 is finished installing, users need to connect to the internet and open Settings > Windows Update > Activation and the PC will be activated with a digital licence.

Users can also enter the Windows 7 or Windows 8 and 8.1 product key and activate Windows 10 if the device is not already activated.

iOS 13 hidden features

Apple unveils new iPhones every year, but with them comes something much more exciting: a new version of Cupertino's mobile operating system that powers its new devices and adds features to older iOS devices; iOS 13 works on all iPhones back to the 6s and SE.
There are lots of cool new things in iOS 13, many announced by Apple at its Worldwide Developer Conference. That includes dark mode (finally), the ability to sign in with Apple using anonymized email addresses, enhanced video editing, audio sharing on AirPods, and revamped apps and abilities for Reminders, Apple Maps, Mail, Memoji, and Siri Shortcuts.
But what about the new stuff in iOS 13 that Apple has barely talked? We've uncovered several tricks all iOS power-users will want to know.

Multitask With Apple CarPlay

If you're using Apple CarPlay, iOS 13 adds a new look to the dashboard interface, including dark mode, so your in-car display mimics the settings you selected in Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance.

The dash can also now show info from more than one app. It'll default to showing your location on Apple Maps (even if you prefer Waze or Google Maps for navigation), with a button to instantly turn on GPS directions to get home, buttons for appropriate devices like a smart home garage door opener, and a smaller tile for stopping/starting audio.

That means no more switching apps to stop music while you navigate. Plus, you can see album art thumbnails with music from supported music-streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, even Audible.

The interfaces for phone and messages are also updated. And you can view your day's appointments (and only that day's appointments) in the Calendar app. Best of all: if someone else uses your phone while it's connected to CarPlay, the app they launch no longer takes over the dashboard. So kids fighting for music control on your phone doesn't have to interrupt navigation anymore.

Don't Charge to 100 Percent Until Dawn

You're not going to overload your iPhone battery by charging it all night as you sleep, but it doesn't take long for it to get to 100 percent. And there's no reason for the phone to trickle-charge all night after that. Apple's solution: go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and turn on Optimized Battery Charging. It learns how you charge and will set up a routine of charging your phone only to 80 percent until the time right before it knows you'll wake, at which point it'll up it to 100.

Use 3 Fingers to Undo

I like to think no one uses the "shake to undo" option on an iPhone, because it could theoretically undo so much. (You can and should turn it off in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Shake to Undo.) Now iOS 13 has a better way: Double tap three fingers to undo. You may also triple finger swipe left for the same effect, then triple finger to the right to redo it.

Drag the Cursor All Around

There have always been ways to move the cursor around in iOS to start typing in a new spot. The best used to be holding down the space bar on the virtual keyboard until it became a sort of virtual trackpad. iOS 13 still supports that, but does it one better: simply touch the cursor and drag it wherever you like.

You can also tap in a word on screen to drop the cursor right in the middle of the letters, something that was impossible in previous versions of iOS.

Swipe-Type on Apple's Keyboard

Not that you need this, as it's available on almost every other third-party iPhone keyboard, but if you only use Apple's built-in keyboard, it now supports what's called QuickPath, which is a fancy name for swipe-based typing. Never lift a finger again to scrawl out a message. It's especially nice on an iPad (with the new iPadOS) where you can shrink the keyboard down to iPhone size and swipe around.

More Emoji Goodies

With iOS 13, you can add to your own custom Memoji face (like braces!), and there are three new Animoji you can manipulate with your face, including a cow, mouse, and octopus.

More interesting are the Memoji sticker packs. Much like the third-party Bitmoji, the stickers take your personalized face and give it an assortment of poses that show things like mind blown, thumbs up, sleeping, peace sign, swearing, hearts in the eyes, etc.—you know, all the things you do with regular emoji, but now with more you. You can also use them with the Animoji, so that octopus can give a thumbs up. Well, sort of, since it has no thumbs.

Send Unknown Callers Directly to Voicemail

If you never, ever want to take a call from anyone who isn't in your contacts list—especially the army of robocallers that won't leave any of us alone—this is a brute-force option you'll adore.

Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Silence Unknown Callers. You'll see the warning below it that "Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list." You'll only hear a ring now if the caller is in your contacts, or was a recent outgoing call, or pops up in your Siri Suggestions (like if Siri saw the number in your email).

It's a shame that robocallers even get to go to your voicemail, to be honest, but this is a good way to ignore a lot of incoming nonsense. If you've got to keep your line open to unknown callers, you should really be using a secondary number via a second SIM card or VoIP burner account.

Let Special People Through the DND Wall

Do Not Disturb is a great way to temporarily silence distracting notifications, but iOS makes it easy to allow certain groups of people to contact you no matter what. For example, in Settings > Do Not Disturb > Phone, you can Allow Calls from your Favorites or a group preset from your contacts.

But if there's an individual who isn't in a group and you want to give them complete access to you, do it: Find their listing in Contacts and click Edit at the top right. On the edit page for that person, click either their Ringtone or Text Tone entry. Up top, you'll find Emergency Bypass, which "allows sounds and vibrations from the person even when Do Not Disturb is on." Pick a nice quiet ringtone if you do this—you're giving that contact a lot of leeway to call you even in the dead of night.

Change Settings Per Webpage

It used to be that with Safari, you changed features like font size and it applied to every site you visited in that browser. Now, settings are per-website, so you can have big type on one site, and smaller type on another.

You can also set Safari to always show the desktop version of a particular site, rather than the optimized-for-mobile page. Or set some pages to override your installed ad-blocker (like PCMag, perhaps) or automatically get fed through the Safari's Reader function (pictured), which strips out the extraneous stuff on supported sites.

Quick Connect to Wireless

If you're tired of having to go into Settings to get on a new Wi-Fi network or connect to a Bluetooth device, here's a slightly faster way. Open the Control Center and do a long hold on the connection box displaying the icons for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular and Airplane Mode.

The pop-up you now get offers even more things to long-press—long-press the Wi-Fi icon and you'll get an instant list of visible wireless networks. Long-press the Bluetooth icon, and it brings up your existing list of connectable devices, so you can quickly jump on. It even works to quick-change AirDrop settings, so you could turn off receiving entirely, or switch between using it with everyone or contacts only.

NASA Hacked

You know that hackers can easily hack any device which is vulnerable to security threats like having a password of birth date, combination of 2 or more phone numbers.

In short I want to say that its entirely upto the person to stay secure from cyber attacks/hacks.

In India the bank account hacking is the most common news 

but what if should say that NASA is hacked. 

Well its not the first time the NASA got hacked, many youngsters of 20 years of ages hacked the NASA they even shutdown the NASA but its the old news

But if I talked about today modern day technology, According to reports NASA is hacked by a raspberry pie computer worth 35$(Rs 2623.75 Indian rupees)

Yes, you've read it right the NASA is hacked by a raspberry pie worth 35$. 

Raspberry pie is a credit card size computer and can be powered by a power bank and has memory card as memory this computer is mainly made for the countries where people can't afford the full size computer but have a interest about computers or want to learn programming. 

NASA has a laboratory JPL(Jet Propulsion Laboratory) where communication b/w the rockets that goes in space is operated here.

Hackers connect a raspberry pie to computer in JPL and steal 23 files of size worth 500 MB.

Hackers even move to DSN(Deep Space Network). DSN is responsible for the communication between the spacecrafts that go in space and also for the data sharing between these spacecrafts and hackers stole some secrets files from this network.

International array of Telescope responsible for tracking the spacecrafts and all the information gather about space till now.

The hackers hack this network and when NASA know about the data breach they fix it and take other security measures.

Its still unknown who are these hackers what will they do with the data they stole from NASA.

That's for all today. And thanks for reading. See you in next blog

Google Maps 'DAMGEROUS' ?? REALLY!!

With thousands of new fake accounts being added every month, Google Maps is flooded by about 11 million false listings and phone numbers that reroute to competing businesses. 

The majority of businesses that are not at their listed locations and the ones most prone to these scams include contractors, repairmen and car towing services, The Verge reported citing a study by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Thursday.They're internally referred to as 'duress verticals' at Google, as they are companies people turn to in emergencies and typically without much time to verify the business' credibility.Though Google claims in a self-funded 2017 academic study that only 0.5 per cent of local searches are false listings, a separate investigation by the WSJ suggested otherwise.

The study found 13 of the top 20 Google search results listed false addresses and only two were real businesses that actually adhered to Google guidelines.

Though Google typically verifies if a business is legitimate by mailing a postcard, calling or emailing a numerical code to enter into a Google website, the system is easy enough for scammers to bypass with fake addresses and phone numbers, affecting real businesses as well as customers, the report added.

The report comes a day after the search engine giant announced that it is giving businesses more options to customize their company profiles on search and Maps through its My Business feature.

The company says it is working on new ways to report suspicious business profiles and directed people to report fraudulent activity on its Business Redressal Complaint Form.

Tech Dark Secrets

Technology is evolving very rapidly. It completes milestone very fast but even in a tech industry there are secrets that people don't want you to know. There are some companies that move forward and tell there secrets themselves.

So lets get straight to the point. Here are dark secrets of tech industry

1. You know which smartphone is good, bad or worst according to its specification But you don't know that GOOGLE claims that some smartphones are injected with VIRUS or malware even before they get in your hands.

But GOOGLE assures that if there is a virus or malware the GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT informs you about it

The main reason behind this is any tech giant can't manufacture full phone alone they might require some help of any third party company so they secretly installed virus to the phone and nobody suspects it.

2. Can you tell me how much TV you have watched today or yesterday?? Let me know in comments below

It is harsh truth of modern or evolved technology that today people is almost leave watching TV. It is a reason maybe TV is remained which is before like there is only one story which has shown in different perspectives like nagin(all seasons) and many other TV shows. There is a time when people complete their work from particular time to watch something on TV either a movie or show. The main reason behind is mobile phone

According to some expert reports from year 2021 TV will start getting finish off.

3. You know that the place on internet we surf is very small part of internet if you don't know let me know in comments below I'll make a separate blog for that. There are basically three layers of internet. they are:

• Surface web where we surf the internet
• Deep web it is Government network
• Dark web is illegal network of black hat hackers

Dark web secretly hacks small websites and sell user information on dark web people actually can buy the information of people

So many international websites like metro news posts rate of people information they are as follows:

Keep that in mind that these are rate if a person buy the accounts in bulk

• 1 Facebook account is of RS 1100
• 1 bank account is of RS 90000 
• 1 twitter account is RS 300
• 1 gmail account is rs 550

this information of people is used in identity theft are occurring mainly in cyber crimes

So its my advice never ever used a same password for multiple accounts

That's for today thanks for reading

Top websites For Students

Today's blogs is about students either they are college students or school students. Mostly people(students) use internet for chatting with girlfriends or wasting time on facebook in holidays. 

But internet is not only about fun or chatting with people but also for gathering new knowledge, learning something new but its quite difficult  for anyone to search appropriate website to gain knowledge or enquire something about admission in colleges or subject related notes.

So I am giving you some websites that must be visit by students:

1. Jagran Josh (https://www.jagranjosh.com/)

This website basically provides you with results, information on competitive exams, provide books as well related to particular courses. The website not only provide study material but also provide admission guide, internships, jobs as well.It also guide you and also help you if you have any problem and also advice you if you have any confusion.

2. Agla Sem (https://aglasem.com/) 

This website is mainly for school students who are going to give their board exams or preparing for board exams as website has subject notes, help related to subjects, help in carrier guidance. Website has solved sample papers as well for preparation for students. The contents is freely available. All boards(CBSE,ICSE etc) syllabus data is available on this website. Even the people who are looking for a job can visit this website as well.

3. Young Buzz(https://www.youngbuzz.com/)

This website provides you guidance and advice as well like which stream to be taken after 10th or which college is best after 12th and many other. But the website is paid if you need any advice students need to pay some amount of money. I do not recommend this website just for career guidance you will pay some amount of money. This website is mainly for students whose family are rich and want to give their children world class facilities. But if students are very serious about their career they must try the website if money is not a problem

4. Britanica(https://www.britannica.com/)

This website is mainly for students who does't want to read (which is very bad) the books but want knowledge as well. This website contains n number of articles related to various topics like science, mathematics, political science and many other. Unlike books these articles are colourful with pictures not like boring same text in books. This website provides students all data according to his/her requirement.

PC V/S Gaming Console

Welcome to my another blog guys today I'm gonna compare the gaming consoles and PC. So let's get started

PC is all time gaming machine and even let you work 

and at the same time gaming console is a dedicated gaming machine like Xbox 360, PS1 to 4 and 5 is upcoming

I do not any of the machine but they are similar and different at the same time so I am here to check which machine is more reliable

1. Gaming controllers

Gaming consoles have a dedicated controller easy to hold and fun to play, But its difficult to become expert user Sometimes its really difficult to use these controllers in shooting games like PUBG

Whereas PC has keyboard and mouse as basic controller but can even switch to gaming controllers like Gaming consoles already have but PC gamers buy them separately.

2. Futureproof

The most Gaming PC's are future proof as they are highly customizable as if you need any component just buy it and use it in your PC Like graphic card, processor, RAM and other components as well and in short they are future proof as they can be changed according to future needs

But in Gaming consoles they are not future proof as they have same configuration and normal user can't change them. If I want to change the configuration I need to buy another console So in simple terms it's not future proof.

3. Exclusive Games availability

Exclusive games are basically the games but are only available for particular consoles Like God Of War 4, Spider-man(PS4) and many others. These games are made available only to certain platforms and are not playable on any other platform like PC. (Basically I'm not talking about people who somehow manage to run these game on emulator I'm talking about the genuine gamers)

In this blog I'm not saying any console is waste or is must buy product its just normal comparison and please take it in the same way as well.

Leave your questions if you have in the comment below I'm happy to answer them

3 websites you should VISIT on Internet

Today everyone is connected to internet and also surf on daily basis but people most commonly visits social websites but now they got there application as well. 

Most common surfed websites include Facebook, gmail, twitter, Instagram, whatsapp and many other. 

But today I'm gonna tell you three websites you should visit So let's start

1. Reddit(https://www.reddit.com/)

It's a social media website but we can say its a forum as well for discussing a topic. Almost 500 million visitors visit the website per month. and the number is still increasing it has a huge user base.

50% visitors are from US, 8% from UK and 6% from Canada and remaining are from around the world. Reddit is very under rated social media platform It didn't get much attention like Facebook.

The user can post anything, discuss on some topic, make friends as well. You should visit this website as you may learn something new or even you get your answer of question that you didn't find anywhere else. I also tell you that the beginning of anonymous group is started with a website/forum mush similar to reddit

2. Quora(https://www.quora.com/)

Quora is not very popular before but now it is very popular as if you serched something there are very high chances that quora can be found in the search results. Basically on this website you can ask any question and any user from quora can answer the website and in the similar way you can also do the same as well you can give the answers to others question if you know. 

And also if you don't want people to know you answered the question you can hide your identity as well. It is also useful in promoting Youtube channels and blogs as well.

3.  duck duck go(https://duckduckgo.com/)

Basically duck duck go is a search engine that didn't track your any online activity No doubt that google search engine is best than any other search engine but when people think about privacy and tracking activities google is prove not very reliable. We know that google did this to improve your result and help to get better search results.

Whereas duck duck go didn't track your any activity in any way it simply shows result and also it provide same result to everyone

48 Megapixels V/S 13 Megapixels Camera

It is quite interesting to see that IS BUYING A 48 MEGAPIXELS PHONE WORTH IT

As many phone companies claim that 48 MP camera phone will prove to be a revolutionary in phone industry.

First of all my answer is NO. The reason behind my answer is having greater megapixels doesn't mean that phone is worth to be buy.

And second Google pixels camera are unmatched by any other camera phone present in market and also Google pixels phone have a single camera.

Basically having greater megapixels phone means that the camera can capture image having 48 Megapixels It don't add or improve quality of image but it make any image to capture a 48 Megapixels photo that simply means the image is very detailed.

keeping camera aside the phone processor also plays a very important role as processing a captured image is also proves to be a factor in determining the quality of photos

I will provide some samples shots as well
