You can now actually hide your stuff on a computer

Image
You simply create a Folder without a name and an icon. (The safest way to hide your contents ;) ) Have you ever tried not naming a folder at all? Probably, yes. And probably you have failed too. The folders when not named used to display dialogue boxes stating you must give a name to your folder. However, now, either it reverts back to ‘New Folder’ or the name you had previously assigned to it. So, how do we do it? Click on your folder and press F2, or right click on your folder and select rename. Then Hold the Alt Key and Type 0160 in the numeric and let go of the Alt key and Press Enter. Make sure to type the digits on the numeric keys on the right hand side not the top row. Now that your folder does not have a name. Let us have the icon disappear too. Right click on the folder. Select properties. Select Customize. Select Change Icon. Select the Icon without a picture. Now, you have a folder without a name and an icon. Now, you know where to...

You have been getting it so wrong

The next time you pull up directly behind someone at a traffic light and you're behind the wheel, look at the guy's driver side side view mirror in front of you. Do you see his face in the mirror? Of course you do. If you don't, he probably knows how to set it correctly. Do it with the next guy and the next. You'll find most people don't. The problem is, people aim the side views on both sides until they see their own rear fender. WRONG. You need to see the lane along side your car. In fact, on a three lane highway from the center lane, you should be able to glance at your overhead rear view mirror and see the guy's car directly behind you. As he's passing you on the right (i know he's not supposed to), as he disappears from view from your center mirror, you should already be picking the nose of his car up on your passenger side view mirror with a visible overlap between the two mirrors. Same thing if he passes you correctly to your left. As he di...

Why we dont have Einsteins, Teslas, or Rutherfords in our generation

Image
To be honest,the examples I give : Nikola Tesla, Einstein, and Rutherford ,are not on the same playing field. Edison was a ‘Bill Gates,’ and opportunist pirate that would steal other’s ideas, or foil the companies that posed competition… so did Edison. When he came to telegrapher conventions the word was out: “Don’t talk ‘ideas’ to that guy… he will steal them. Einstein was a unique guy with the incredible ability to ‘focus’ on a problem and exclude all extraneous interference. He was a frequent commuter on a Boston train, one day he had lost his ticket. He fairly quickly told the Conductor of the issue. The conductor replied: Oh don’t worry Dr. Einstein, you need not provide a ticket for me.” Einstein’s response was “Well, you see I  need  that ticket, without it I’m not sure where to get off.” If a ‘genius’ employee is in a company, truly, it’s not in that companies interest to let that news out; he’s needed by the company. Also, there are THOUSANDS of genius all about ...

Inventions from COVID-19

Necessity is the mother of invention. With the cases of coronavirus rising in Africa one of the many precautions everybody is advised to take to help curtail the spread of the virus is constant hand washing. It is saddening that there were no efficient hand washing buckets. Hand washing buckets which one needs to turn the taps on/off is not efficient because it also encourages the spread of the virus. Some many people have tried to solve this challenge by constructing foot controlled hand washing buckets. Here are some pictures ; Ghanaian man invents solar-powered hand sensitive barrel to help fight COVID-19 With the invention above you do not need to touch any knob to turn on the tap. There are some other smart inventions; These may appear primitive to some people in very developed countries but to some other counties these are smart inventions.
