How to be safe from Phishing

One of the most common ways of hacking and retrieving user information is Phishing. It is a cybercrime in which the scammers target users through emails, text messages, fake social media posts using some brand names posing as a legitimate institute to lure the users with lucrative offers to get the personal information which may result in identity theft or financial loss.

Today almost all people in the world have access to the internet. People will have emails, social media accounts, online banking account, etc which contain their personal information, banking details, etc. The only way to access them is a password. So your password must be strong enough to protect your digital information. But only this is not enough. Scammers can use different ways to get your password and use it for their benefit. So one golden rule is never ever to give your password to anyone. Use your password only on the official website where it is used. So let's see how can scammers use phishing to get your information.

How to Find any Wi-Fi Password on Windows

Sometimes you may forget the wifi password of your network you are connected or it may be difficult to remember password. So here is the simple command line trick to find out the password. Follow these steps if you’re using Windows 7,8 or 10.

• Open CMD as an administrator.
• Paste the following code:
netsh wlan show profiles
You will get a list of the networks that are known to your computer.
• Now paste the following code. Replace "profilename" with the network name.
netsh wlan show profile name=profilename key=clear
Look for the "Content Key". That is your password.

How to clean your Windows Temp folder

The temp folder contains files that are only needed temporally. Unfortunately, these files that are meant to be deleted don't always get deleted after their job is done, resulting in wasted drive space.

To open the temp folder, click Start or go to the Windows 8 Search, type %temp%, and select the folder that appears first. Once the folder is opened, you can manually delete files and folders. But you probably can't delete all of them. Windows won't let you do away with those currently in use. That's fine. You don't want to delete those ones anyway.

In fact, you really don't want to delete any files created since the last time you booted your PC. So if you shut down Windows every night (and I mean shut it down, not sleep or hibernate), and boot clean every morning, you can safely delete any files in Temp not dated today. You can easily do it in an old-fashioned way, DOS-style batch file to automatically clean out the folder every time you boot. Here's the process:

Open Notepad, and type these two lines:

    rd %temp% /s /q
    md %temp%

Save the file as %appdata%\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup\cleantemp.bat. This will create the batch file, cleantemp.bat, inside your Start menu's Startup submenu. Everything in that menu loads automatically when you boot. Windows 8 doesn't have a Start menu. But it still has the folder. And the trick still works.

Cool JavaScript Tricks

Today I would like to mention some of the JavaScript tricks that many JavaScript programmers do not know. They are cool to have in our code, but some are not practiced in real world. Here are few of them.

1. Use of .call() function:
   If you want to iterate over the properties of object.
   

   var listitems = document.querySelectorAll('li'); 
   [].forEach.call(items, function(item) {
   //your code here
   })
   

   Above code does the same as the code below

   for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
   var item= items[i];
   // your code here
   }

   Reversing a string:
   

   var js = 'hello javascript';
   var sj = [].reverse.call(hey.split('')).join(''); // "tpircsavaj olleh"
   console.log(sj);

2. Always use var while declaring variable for the first time.
3. Use === instead of == .
4. undefined, null, 0, false, "", NaN are all false values.
5. Use semicolon (;) for line termination.
6. Get random item in an array.

   var items = [12, 548 , 'a' , 2 , 5478 , 'foo' , 8852, , 'Doe' , 2145 , 119];
   var random = items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)];
   

7. Verify that the given argument is number

   function isNumber(n){
       return !isNaN(parseFloat(n)) && isFinite(n);
   }

How to choose the right laptop for programming

For the best result in the programming one must be very careful while choosing right laptop. Choosing the right laptop for programming can be a tough job. So you must have proper research on this matter. It’s easy to get confused while researching the various options. There are many different laptop models out there, each with a different set of trade-offs.

You can write code on most laptops. Yet, your productivity will improve if you use a machine suited to the type of tasks that you perform. There are different types of development, and various tools are required with each specialization. So, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to buying a development machine.

Hence, I made the following assumptions in this article:

1. You are a web developer.
2. Your laptop is your primary development machine.

Here are some considerations before purchasing your next laptop.

Mobility

Laptops come in all shapes and sizes. You need to figure out how portable you want your laptop to be. If you do not need to carry your laptop around often, you might want to consider a 15'' laptop. These will usually have better specs and more screen estate for multitasking. If you work in different locations or travel a lot, a 13-14'' laptop may be best for you. They are lighter and provide longer battery life. Unless you’re buying a 2-in-1 laptop, a touchscreen does not provide enough benefits to justify the extra cost. I’d suggest you avoid the touchscreen.
