How to Hard Reboot an iPhone or iPad

No one can easily doubt over the engineering efforts made by Apple. Despite of that there are some chances that your iPhone or iPad might stop working, by which I mean it stops responding to your touch. At that moment you need to reset your iPhone and considering the worst scenario no matter how long you hold the power button the power off option doesn’t show up. This condition may arise due to any software bug or unwanted behaviour of any app. In such cases there is  a straightforward method to resolve it , which involves forcing your device to reboot. This method is termed as reset or hard restart which is done by holding down the combination of 2 buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or more. By doing so all running processes will be cleared and the device will be rebooted forcibly. Talking about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Home button is not a physical button anymore. So the button combination is bit different in these devices than their predecessor. ...

WannaCry Ransomware Attack !!

What is WannaCry Ransomware? Ransomware is a type of virus that once it infects your computer, you are pretty much screwed. It encrypts all of your files on the computer and sends the key to the attackers and then erases it locally from the victim machine so that there is no way to unlock those files unless u pay the ransom. Now the people who create these virus usually require the ransom to be paid through Bitcoin wallet because its untraceable and they have access to the currency without any kind of federal agency being able to track them down. Now the sad thing about this is   once your computer is infected with this virus, you are done. You are  not getting your files back unfortunately, unless u pay the ransom and even then there is a slim chance that you are  going to actually get the key from them to decrypt your files.

The major drawback of Blogger is that it is full of limitations. Google literally owns your blog, it has complete control over your blog. Google has the right to delete your blog anytime , if it founds you violating its Terms Of Services. It usually happens if you are spamming or doing something which somehow violates the Blogger Term of Services.

By doing this you can have a safe side, if someth...
