Announcement: Windows10 Available on July 29.

Windows 10 (codenamed Threshold) is an upcoming computer operating system being developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.





 First presented in April 2014 at the Build Conference, it is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2015.  It is currently in public beta testing through the Windows Insider program. During its first year of availability, upgrades to Windows 10 will be offered at no charge for consumer users of genuine Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1.

The goal of Windows 10 is to unify the Windows PC, Windows Phone, Windows Embedded and Xbox One product families, as well as new product categories such as the Surface Hub and HoloLens, around a common internal core. These products will share a common, "universal" application architecture and Windows Store ecosystem that expands upon the Windows Runtime platform introduced by Windows 8. Windows 10 provides further integration with Microsoft services and platforms, such as the addition of Cortana (an intelligent personal assistant), a notification system that can be synchronized between devices, and new Xbox Live features. A new default web browser, Microsoft Edge, will also make its debut in Windows 10, though Internet Explorer will still be available in a reduced capacity for compatibility reasons.

You can see these features in action in this video.




 Windows 10's user interface is an evolution of Windows 8's, with a focus on transitioning between behaviors suitable for the type of device and the available input methods. To improve the experience for keyboard and mouse users, Windows 10 adds a revision of the desktop start menu and a virtual desktop system, and allows Windows Store apps to run within windows on the desktop as well as in full-screen mode. The operating system will introduce new technologies and system components, including DirectX and new frameworks for biometric authentication. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Microsoft has also planned to treat Windows 10 as a "service" that will receive non-critical updates over its lifespan, in combination with periodic long-term support milestones for enterprise environments.



 Office on Windows: In addition to the Office 2016 full featured desktop suite, Windows 10 users will be able to experience new universal Windows applications for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, all available separately. These offer a consistent, touch-first experience across a range of devices to increase you productivity. Designed from the ground up to run on Windows 10, you can easily create and edit Word documents, and deliver PowerPoint presentations while annotating on the fly. With new touch-first controls in Excel you can create or update spreadsheets without a keyboard or mouse. You will also be able to enjoy new versions of OneNote and Outlook, which are included with Windows 10 at no additional cost.

 Windows Continuum


enables today’s best laptops and 2-in-1 devices to elegantly transform from one form factor to the other, enabling smooth transitions of your tablet into a PC, and back. And new Windows phones with Continuum can be connected to a monitor, mouse and physical keyboard to make your phone work like a PC.

Windows Hello, greets you by name and with a smile, letting you log in without a password and providing instant, more secure access to your Windows 10 devices. With Windows Hello, biometric authentication is easy with your face, iris, or finger, providing instant recognition.

Simplicity Linux Makes everything easy and simple

The latest edition of Simplicity Linux, version 15.4, recently became available for download. Simplicity Linux delivers just what its name suggests: It is a simpler way to run a fully powered Linux desktop on any computer you touch.

The latest edition of Simplicity Linux, version 15.4, recently became available for download. Simplicity Linux delivers just what its name suggests: It is a simpler way to run a fully powered Linux desktop on any computer you touch.

Simplicity lets you carry your entire desktop, favorite installed applications, and complete collection of documents and files in your pocket everywhere you go. Other Linux distros let you do much the same thing -- but solutions like Puppy Linux, Porteus, Knoppix and such take a bit more technical prowess to set up and configure.

Simplicity Linux does all of the heavy lifting, well, more simply. If you already know Puppy Linux, consider Simplicity Linux a close family cousin that will bring new life to your computing.

One compelling reason for using Simplicity Linux is its desktop improvement. Simplicity Linux uses the LXDE desktop environment rather than Openbox. This choice by the distro's lone developer, David Purse, is critical. It puts a more contemporary face on Simplicity Linux.
X11 Desktop Environment
The Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment and the WBar give users two different menu options without requiring placement of application icons as launchers on the desktop itself.

Still, Simplicity Linux 15.4 uses Puppy Linux and the LXPup derivative as a base. It is a good choice for everyday users who are not Linux geeks or computer experts.

Simple but Not Foolproof

I have long been a fan and a user of the original Puppy Linux family of distros. I have reviewed a variety of Puppy Linux OSes several times for LinuxInsider.

However, Linux-on-a-stick distros, including the Puppy Linux species, have a serious weakness. They can not update the rapidly changing Web browsers and other packages. Simplicity Linux does not escape this problem.

Puppy Linux has a broad ecosystem and active community, but Simplicity Linux lacks a cadre of contributors to provide updated packages of essential software. So users who keep current with each updated release may soon be confronted with out-of-date versions of key software.

For example, The latest Simplicity release has Google Chrome version 40.0.2214.115 preinstalled. However, the current Chrome version available on my Ubuntu and Linux Mint distros already is updated to Version 42.0.2311.135 through the package manager.

Mozilla's Firefox Web browser is also preinstalled -- but it failed to properly open on any of my hardware. It never appeared on the desktop. Yet system tools indicated that it was running in the background.
Software Sophistication

One advantage to the Simplicity Linux line is its remix mentality. Much of the software bloat found in Puppy Linux is missing. Also gone are the overly lightweight Puppy-specific applications that run in the Open Box environment.

I have used Simplicity Linux on lots of my legacy gear, and I find it superior to the original Puppy Linux distro.

Simplicity Linux comes in three offerings. Depending on which one you select, some of the preinstalled software will be different -- but all of the flavors run the same Puppy Package Manager so you can add or remove applications to suit your needs.

Typical of portable Linux style distros, Simplicity Linux is not designed to reside on the hard drive. It loads into memory from a live CD/DVD.

You have the option to create either an encrypted or nonencrypted partition to save configuration settings and application changes. You can do this on the hard drive, a rewritable CD/DVD or USB drive. You also can install Simplicity Linux to a bootable USB drive.

The utility programs for doing all of these things are preinstalled and easy to use, even for newcomers to the process.
Simplicity Options

Simplicity Linux comes in two versions: Netbook and Desktop in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The 32-bit version uses the 3.14.20 kernel. The 64-bit version uses the 3.17.20 kernel.

Echoing Canonical's version system for its Ubuntu OS, Simplicity Linux versions are designated by the year and month of release. Simplicity Linux's release schedule is easy to follow: January, April, July and October.

That is the ideal release schedule, anyway. The sole developer makes no assurances in his blogs that he will always meet that schedule, with alpha and beta releases preceding any rigid release schedule. Of course, this is a user concern if new releases outpace the gap in new package releases.

I found very little difference in the Netbook or Desktop versions of Simplicity. Keep in mind that the hardware designation of "Netbook" may be a bit out of sync now with current market hardware. Netbooks are not likely to be a computing platform -- but the concept of a lighter-weight distro for less-capable or legacy laptops is still valid.
More Goodies

The Simplicity Netbook release is a more cloud-based Linux distro. It includes the TOR and Chrome browsers. It comes with shortcuts to Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, Google Docs, Dropbox and Grooveshark, as well as a virtual assistant application. Overall, the Netbook version has a smaller system resource footprint, and most things are cloud-based.

The Simplicity Desktop release is a more heavyweight OS edition. It comes with the TOR browser, the desktop version of Dropbox, Chrome and the full LibreOffice suite. The Desktop edition has a bigger footprint caused by including more applications and larger packages.

Both versions of Simplicity Linux come preinstalled with a well-configured version of WINE and a Windows version of the OnLive client. The WINE installation works well and is a good attraction for users transitioning from Windows to Linux.

Double-clicking on a Windows .exe file from within the PCMAN FM file explorer runs the Windows program on Linux. But WINE has limitations and does not work well with every Windows program. So expect trial-and-error to be the standard operating procedure. (within the limitations of what WINE supports).
Look and Feel

Simplicity Linux has a single taskbar across the top of the screen. This has the typical panel bar functionality for holding notification icons on the right side, and icons for running programs on the left side.

At the far left of the panel are the main menu icon, launcher icons for file manager and Google Chrome, and a virtual workspace pager. A trait of the LX desktop, only two virtual desktops are accessible.

Simplicity Linux

Simplicity Linux has a single fully functional taskbar across the top of the screen. At the far left of the panel is the main menu icon, launcher icons for file manager and Google Chrome, and a virtual workspace pager.

A WBar Dock sits at the bottom center of the screen. This bar has limited configurability but provides useful access to other features.

For instance, several icons for system settings and key program launchers are hard-wired to the WBar. An Application Finder and menu are one click away at the far left of the dock bar.

Using Simplicity

You can run Simplicity unchanged from the CD/DVD, much like any live-session Linux distro. Once booted, a first-run settings panel opens with various options like the keyboard layout and screen resolution.

Each new boot presents this panel. You also will have to set up Internet access, whether you plug in a modem cable or need to access a wireless connection. Three program options are available to do this. The computer's wireless card will determine which method works best in finding your access path.


Simplicity Linux settings panels

A collection of settings panels makes Simplicity Linux easy to configure.
A better option for continually using Simplicity Linux is to create a personal save file and set up a frugal installation on either the hard drive or a bootable CD/DVD/USB installation. To do this, use the Puppy Universal Installer.

Another option is to run the Bootflash installer found in the Setup menu to put a bootable copy of Simplicity Linux on a USB drive. However, some legacy computers will not support booting from a USB drive.

In that case, you will have to boot from the CD/DVD and create a personal storage file on either the hard drive or a USB drive. This option is presented each time you shut down a live session unless you have selected the option to boot Simplicity in a no-save session.
Bottom Line

Simplicity Linux is very usable whether you use it as-is each time you boot up from the CD/DVD or do a frugal installation on the hard drive or USB drive. The LXDE desktop consumes few system resources. It loads into system memory when possible to run fast and furious without having to read from the CD/DVD or USB storage.

The complete installation needs less than 2 GB of disk space. You can tailor the size of the personal storage file to fit the available capacity. The preinstalled software provides all you will need in most use-cases. The package manager lets you add packages from both the Slackware and Puppy repositories.

The installer lacks any built-in tools for hard drive partitioning, so you will have to manually do that with gParted and a boot manager if you want to share the hard drive space with an existing operating system. That really is not necessary, though. The purpose of portable Linux distros like this is to boot from a CD/DVD and access stored files from a USB or cloud drive. Hard drive installation is not required.

Overall, Simplicity Linux is easy to use and runs fast. It runs well on legacy hardware. It has a gentle learning curve for users already familiar with the Linux OS. Users transitioning from Windows will find Simplicity Linux easy to use.

Android M is about to add native support for fingerprint scanners


One of the reasons for lack of widespread presence of fingerprint scanners on Android devices is the lack of native support in Android, relegating it to just unlocking the phones on which it is present. But that might change soon.

 


One of the reasons for lack of widespread presence of fingerprint scanners on Android devices is the lack of native support in Android, relegating it to just unlocking the phones on which it is present. But that might change soon.

According to BuzzFeed and Ars Technica, Google might announced support for fingerprint scanner in Android M at I/O 2015. although the company declined to comment on that. Ars Technica found commits in AOSP for Nexus 6 for a fingerprint sensor, which Google has been working on on the software side. The Nexus 6 was also supposed to have a fingerprint sensor but according to Motorola ex-CEO Dennis Woodside, Apple bought the one good company that made those.

With native fingerprint scanner support in the OS, all the apps can tap into it and use it for authentication. You would be able to use it for your Play Store purchases, or Google Wallet authentication, or for apps like 1Password, Authy, Dropbox, OneDrive, Simplenote, or any other app that allows you to use a passcode lock, and that currently use Touch ID on iOS, can be used with the fingerprint scanner if they add support for it on Android.

Currently very few Android phones have a fingerprint scanner, with only the recent Galaxy S6 and S6 edge having implemented it the right way, but we could see more devices in future if Google does decide to include it in Android M.

VENOM: A New Virus That can Attack Even Virtual Machines

With Venom, a malicious user program with sufficient root privileges "could break through the isolation normally afforded by the hypervisor and reach into the memory space of its hosted peers, potentially corrupting the software stack running in the other VMs and gaining access to sensitive data and applications," said Bill Weinberg, senior director of open source strategy at Black Duck Software.


Crowdstrike on Wednesday made public its discovery of yet another long-buried Linux vulnerability.
"Venom," as it has been dubbed, was unearthed by the firm's senior security researcher, Jason Geffner. It is listed as vulnerability CVE-2015-3456.

Venom exists in the virtual floppy drive code (FDC) used by virtualization platforms based on QEMU (quick emulator). It has been around since 2004.

The code probably went undetected for 11 years because "it's not obvious at all that this is a vulnerability," Geffner told LinuxInsider.

What is venom and how it kills


Venom is a threat to virtual machines.
A server runs a hypervisor, which in turn runs one or more virtual machines, called "guest machines." The hypervisor provides each guest operating system with a virtual OS and manages the execution of the guest OSes.
Several VMs, running multiple instances of one OS or different OSes, can be guested on one hardware platform.
When guest OSes send commands such as seek, read, write or format to the FDC's input/output port, the FDC stores them and their associated parameters in a fixed-size buffer, according to Crowdstrike.
It keeps track of how much data to expect for each command. After all expected data for a given command is received from the guest OS, the FDC executes the command and clears the buffer for the next command.


However, two commands, which Crowdstrike did not disclose, are not reset. An attacker can send those commands and specially crafted parameter data from the guest system to the FDC to create a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code during the host's hypervisor process.

Attackers will need administrator privileges or root access privileges, so it's not as if a hacker can waltz in and take over the FDC.

Microsoft to Stop Production of Windows

In a speech about a weeks ago, weekJerry Nixon  (Development executive) at Microsoft said  that
 Windows 10 would be the “last version” of the dominant desktop software.His comments were echoed by Microsoft which said it would update Windows in future in an “ongoing manner”.

Instead of new stand-alone versions, Windows 10 would be improved in regular instalments, the firm said.
Mr Nixon made his comments during Microsoft’s Ignite conference held in Chicago.
In a statement, Microsoft said Mr Nixon’s comments reflected a change in the way that it made its software.
“Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner,” it said, adding that it expected there to be a “long future” for Windows.

The company said it had yet to decide on what to call the operating system beyond Windows 10.

“There will be no Windows 11,” warned Steve Kleynhans, a research vice-president at analyst firm Gartner who monitors Microsoft.

He said Microsoft had in the past deliberately avoided using the name “Windows 9″ and instead chose Windows 10 as a way to signify a break with a past which involved successive stand-alone versions of the operating system.
However, he said, working in that way had created many problems for Microsoft and its customers.
"Every three years or so Microsoft would sit down and create ‘the next great OS’,” he said.

 The developers would be locked away and out would pop a product based on what the world wanted three years ago.”

Microsoft also had to spend a huge amount of money and marketing muscle to convince people that they needed this new version, and that it was better than anything that had come before, he explained.

Moving to a situation in which Windows is a constantly updated service will break out of this cycle, and let Microsoft tinker more with the software to test new features and see how customers like them, he added.

‘Positive step’
Most of the revenue generated by Windows for Microsoft came from sales of new PCs and this was unlikely to be affected by the change, Mr Kleynhans pointed out.

“Overall this is a positive step, but it does have some risks,” he said.

“Microsoft will have to work hard to keep generating updates and new features, he said, adding that questions still remained about how corporate customers would adapt to the change and how Microsoft would provide support.

“It doesn’t mean that Windows is frozen and will never move forward again,” Mr Kleynhans stated.

“Indeed we are about to see the opposite, with the speed of Windows updates shifting into high gear.”

How To Install Windows Software on Ubuntu

In some linux distributions on linux. this application so all you have to do is skip to where i talk about actually installing windows Software.
Wine is a free and open source application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.

Wine is a compatibility layer. It duplicates functions of Windows by providing alternative implementations of the DLLs that Windows programs call and a process to substitute for the Windows NT kernel. This method of duplication differs from other methods that might also be considered emulation, where Windows programs run in a virtual machine. In this article we are installing wine 1.7.25 version on Ubuntu 14.04.

To install it in Ubuntu you will have to add the repository to the system and just use the apt-get install command, this will also make it easy to update wine in the future by just using apt-get upgrade. The bellow command will also automatically install any extra dependencies you may need.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7






now the installation is over  you just need to install windows application which am about to show you 

Actually installing windows Software

Installing a Windows application using Wine is just as simple as installing it on the native operating system. After downloading the installation executable (in this case i chose foobar2013 - a nice media player), you can just click the executable and the installation wizard will open up, exactly like it would do on Windows.



After you're done with the installation you can run the application from the installer or from the Ubuntu button just like you would run any other Linux application.
And there is your windows application working in UBUNTU

How Online Chat-Bots Are Fooling You

There are certainly plenty of them out there. Although most Internet users think of the web as a place primarily frequented by humans, the reality turns out to be quite the opposite. A recent report found that 61.5% of Internet traffic is generated by automated programs called bots.

These are artificially intelligent programs that can ask also answer questions bring you to thinking they are actually human. These programs are mostly web based as we 'll see in this article.

 Today especially here in Uganda most of us just watch these things in movies and that's it. In this article you will be surprised these programs are already living in our communities and can easily fool you into thinking they are real people, real humans.


  • One of the most famous fiction movies called Star Trek TNG, The character "Data" is a human-like android. Data claims to have no feelings of any kind, but some people find this hard to believe. Data is almost human. The presence of Data in Star Trek enables the scriptwriters to show what it may be like to live alongside an artificial person. Intelligent chat bots may have similar personalities to Data. WATCH TRAILER HERE:
  • The other is a series that has been showing one Fox TV called "Almost Human" In a future where human cops and androids partner up to protect and serve. WATCH TRAILER HERE:
  • Also the film called AI "Artificial Intelligence", by Spielberg and Kubrick, explores similar issues with androids. WATCH TRAILER HERE:

These are just movies. How About You. Did you know that there is a big chance that you have got in contact with Chat-bots on the Internet but didn't even realise they were not human? At times it's because they seem friendly and funny,Sometimes it’s because they seem wise,Sometimes it’s the promise of sex on a porn website that fools you. The bots don’t really care how they trick you as long as you are brought to thinking they are your fellow human, if you use social media or spend any time on line, it’s quite possible you’ve already been a victim.

Yesterday i took a tour to some Chat bot websites and one that completely blew me away was a Chat-bot Called A.L.I.C.E. If i didn't know any better. I wouldn't believe this. I took my time to take a screen shot and here is how THE CHAT was:

Alice the Chat-Bot

You may not believe this was a Robot. But yes it was.Try it your self: www.alice.pandorabots.com

Another website i went across was a website called "Cleverbot"
Dint as much explore it as i did with Alice. But here. That's a screen shot i took:

Clever bot the chat-bot

You can try this one here: www.cleverbot.com
Scammers are well aware of this phenomenon and are utilizing chat bots by embedding them in their sites that when you visit, A chat bot gets a conversation with you and after a few words. They ask you to click on links. These links are usually Adult content, Dating sites or ham full websites that have lots of spam.

What to expect in the future?
  • Chat bots will also become more human-like.
  • Chat bots will become much more advanced.
  • In time chat bots will become as intelligent as humans.
  • People will become unsure how to feel about chat bots.
  • They will be more like androids in Science Fiction. They will be intelligent and useful.
  • Humans will be unsure whether the chat bots have feelings, and whether they are conscious.
  • They will have more human characteristics. This will make them more interesting to chat to,

With everything said, This  proves the Future we always talk about, Is not far. In a few years from now Robots will indeed be Advanced.

------------------------

 First things first. What is BIOS?

(BIOS) also known as Basic Input-Output System is an embedded operating system on computer motherboards. It is the first operating system that loads on your computer before other reparation systems like windows, Linux among others load. This is so it can load start up settings like drivers for devices like a CD drive, Keyboard, mouse among other.



In This guide, I will show you how to Upgrade your BIOS for any computer/Motherboard. However I should say- not all computers have the same mother board nor the same manufacturer.

Not to wast any time, First: you want is know who your mother board manufacture is. To do this just right click on your computer and select “properties”. With this you should see your computer’s basic Information.

Or you can just go into Command prompt and enter a command: systeminfo



If you can open your computer up. Just open the casing and you should see the manufacture and the version.
Second you want to go to your manufacture’s website, find a tab like Drivers or Downloads and click it.



With this you should be able to play around the website to find where you can download their new motherboard upgrade.

Now there are two ways you can use this download. One way is buy using a floppy disk if you have pne. The other is using a disk.

In this tutorial I will show you both ways…

Using a Floppy disk [ This is the easy old method ]:

This is the same method that was used in the early computers and can still be used even now. it is efactive and very easy to use. how ever will require you to have aFloppy disk and a flopy driver on your computer. Here we go

Step 1

Just insert and format your floppy disk,

step 2

Copy the update you downloaded to the floppy disk and shutdown your computer.

Switch your computer back on and boot it with the floppy disk.

Step 3:

Lastly: Run the bat file or command to update the Bios.
It might not display just like this but will surely be slimier to this:



After it completes computer will restart and you should see a different interface in bios.
And you are done

Using a Disk Drive or USB:

This method involves using the system inbuilt bios updater. However I should say, some computers especially if you have a Pentium 3 or earlier,this option might not be available.

Step 1

Copy what you downloaded to an easy to remember location on your hard drive.

Step 2

Shut down your computer and switch it on again.and press “delete” in some computers you may need to press F2 to go to BIOS settings.

Step 3

Look for the BIOS Update/upgrade Utility and enter into it.

Step 4

Now browse to the location where you put the files you downloaded and press “enter”.

Here your system will detect the update version and will then update your Bios with new settings and information

There you are done.

Note: Updating should take a few seconds perhaps a minute

Warning:

  •  Avoid updating the BIOS unless you know what you are doing [Please find a technician who can do it If you didn't understand any of the steps.
  • power fluctuation during a flash may irrevocably corrupt the firmware [Make sure the electrical power source is reliable]
  • Make sure to obtain the BIOS upgrade software from a reliable source [I highly advise you to download updates only from the manufacturer's website ]
Alright, that’s it for today enjoy !!!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR COMPUTER WORKING WHILE YOU SLEEP

Ok. Lets forget about energy savings a powerful PC is meant to be utilized! And this is the reason as to why I will pass you through ways on how you can utilize your PC whether you are sleeping or at work.


The great part about your computer is that [unlike you] it doesn't require any sleep. Take advantage of your PC by automating time and processor-intensive tasks while you're sleeping. Below I will talk about the tasks you can give to your Computer so you can fully Utilize it. Start these processes before you clock out for the evening or as you start off to work. To make sure they run as quickly as possible, set your computer's power management for high performance and turn off other tasks that might interfere, such as Windows and application updates and other processes.

Backup & Update


A lot of us have emphasized the importance of backup time and again even though it is the stuff that boring work is made of. Rather than incorporate it into your regular computing hours and staring at your computer while your maintenance tasks completes. Make computer maintenance an overnight task that your computer performs without you

Downloads

Talking about Downloading, A lot of you will think of Internet download manager well, downloading using tools like Utorrent is ranked highly by all down loaders –Even me-, and for obvious reasons, Downloads can take a long time and those hours you're sleeping are the sweet-able ones to completing downloads especially 10 + GBs. But rather than keep your PC on all night long, Most file download applications like bit and utorrent & IDM- have built-in options for shutting down, when your downloads completes.

Video encoding


Many of us will never know the time it takes to do some seriously heavy video encoding, but if you've ever tried ripping a DVD, you know how much time and CPU cycles video encoding can take. Outsource you’re ripping and other encoding jobs overnight so you can save your time than sitting and staring at your computer while it encodes.

Render Graphics

Rendering graphics is among the most time-consuming tasks you can perform, so you shouldn't waste precious playtime by watching your computer rendering video bits.

Compiling code


Compiling code from source can be an intensive process, and it is better off users use their overnight cycles to update and compile software on both Mac and windows–even Linux-.

Hard drive repair


You can't do much to save a hard drive from dying and you can do your part to keep your disks healthy specifically by regularly fragmenting and checking for and repairing any disk errors. Try to schedule this maintenance once or twice per week, while you're sleeping, so you can rest easy that you've done all you can to keep your disks running in tip-top shape

Virus and malware scanning


Although most current anti-virus and anti-malware programs can run while you use your computer for other tasks, you're still better off to check your machine for problems when you're not using it. Depending upon your favorite antivirus software, you might be able to schedule scans from within the software, or in some cases, you might need to run Windows Task Schedule.






With all that in mind, I hop you will now use your time more effectively. However I got to say: turning off your computer for half of the day [3–6 hours] is really healthy for your computer and I advise it for those that want to use this guide for 24/7 and yes you may find your power bills go through the roof.
