You can block any website on your computer!

Sometimes you wonder to block some websites on your computer for miscellaneous reasons. Today, I'll teach you how to do this in a couple of minutes without using any specialized software.

Follow the following steps with me and block any site in a few simple clicks. 

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator, This will open a DOS command line window.

3. Type: notepad C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

4. Locate the line 127.0.0.1 localhost

5. To block the website facebook.com, just add this text under 127.0.0.1 localhost: as shown below in the example.

Example:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.chess.com

In the same way, you can add as many websites on the list as you want. Don't forget to prefix site's name with 127.0.0.1

6. Now save the file and windows will block connection to the site which you have added in the host file.

All done!

So, this was an easy method on how to block a website on your own PC. Thanks for reading.

Command Prompt Secrets and Tricks in Windows

Command Prompt Secrets and Tricks in Windows

Probably says the path of the current folder. You're in like C And then either the user directory or maybe system 32 if you're running as an administrator, you can customize Any of that text to say whatever you want and you do this for example by typing in the prompt command so you prompt and then whatever text you want and now that will be the Text that shows up before whatever command you type in so you can type in prompt Hello, and now it will say hello. And then you type the commands after that having just some random word.

There is not going to be very useful so you can actually use the command prompt and then space/ ? to show special codes that you can use to not just have words but also dynamic information there as well such as a Timestamp or the version of Windows and stuff like that So for example, maybe we don't want it to just show the file path. But we also want to have it as a timestamp So if you're looking at a log later down the road, you know exactly when these commands are run So to do this you can look at the special codes and what we would want to type in is Prompt to say we're gonna change this then we would use the command dollar sign T, which is the current timestamp Code and then we're gonna do a space and then dollar sign B as a vertical line and we're just kind of formatting at this Point another space and then we're gonna use the dollar sign P command Which will show the current path just like it usually does and then we want to put that right arrow caret thing.



So we're gonna use the dollar sign G command to show the greater sign so you can see after we do that it now shows the Timestamp and then the divider line and then the file path like it did before so a little bit more useful also If you ever mess it up and you want to go back you can simply revert to the default by typing and prompt and nothing after that And it will automatically go back so you could also use this as some sort of prank if you want to mess with your friends You could have it's a catastrophic error or something like that And then they won't know what's wrong with it Might be kind of funny as long as you know how to put it back one thing to keep in mind though is that when you use this command it will reset once you restart the command prompt if you wanted to have that by default and always show your Customized one when you start command prompt you have to do a quick Registry edit now. 

I'm gonna show you how to do that but as usual, if you are not experienced with the registry editor at all be very careful and maybe even avoid this trick because Messing with that registry and deleting something could literally ruin your entire version of Windows and you'll have to reinstall it So just be very careful here. So what you do is you open up the registry editor and you need to find the key That's under computer H key current user then software then Microsoft and then command Processor now on the right side after you enter that little folder you're going to right-click You're gonna create new and then string value and you want to name this autorun and after you create that you're going to right-click on that key that you just made the autorun one and click modify and then where it says value data, you're gonna type in whatever command you want to autorun as Command prompt starts up so in this case If we want the prompt command to always have a certain format that we customized like the one we just made.

All we have to do is paste in that timestamp Prompt code that we created before and now you can see when we start up command prompt it now Automatically shows that customized prompt there and this doesn't just have to be the prompt command You could have this as any command you want to run automatically when you start command prompt, so use it wisely.

Microsoft Windows vs Linux OS Battle

Is Linux Finally Beating Windows?

You have all used a personal computer that runs the Windows operating system, but how many of you have actually used Linux?

If you look at the market share of operating systems for PCs over the last few years you will see that Windows totally dominates the market. It's been that way pretty much since Windows came on the scene in 1985.

The word Microsoft became a household name and synonymous with both home computers and operating systems. In January 2019, Windows had just over an 88 percent market share. Apple's Mac operating system is next, with just over 9 percent of the share.


After that comes Linux, with just a tiny share. What might surprise you, though, is perhaps this shouldn't really be the case. We are not going to bother explaining to you what the Windows OS is, that would be almost condescending. You have all used it, and many of you probably loved the XP version, hated Vista and Windows ME and probably were not too fond of Windows 8. When Microsoft released Windows 10 it said this was the last in the line of totally new versions, it would be updated forevermore.

The point is, we have likely all gotten used to Windows. Using Windows is as familiar to most people as opening a window in your home. It's that familiarity, and of course, the fact that it comes pre-installed on many PCs you buy, that prevents some people from crossing over the scary waters of OS change towards the little-known island of Linux.

For those of you who don't know what Linux is, you can actually just go to the Linux official website and the company answers that question for you. We have done the reading, so we will paraphrase what the company said.

First of all, Linux tells us you probably do use Linux but just don't know about it. This is just one sentence from its grand opening paragraph.

It's in your phones, in your cars, in your refrigerators, your Roku devices. It runs most of the Internet, the supercomputers making scientific breakthroughs, and the world's stock exchanges.it's also just a regular operating system for your PC.

The operating system, which most people just initialize to OS, is like the brain of the machine. Without it, the machine is pretty much useless. We don't need to tell you that these systems can be very complex and we imagine most of you wouldn't be confident enough to say you know exactly everything you can do with your Windows OS. That's one reason people stick with what they know because moving to a different OS is like finding yourself in a totally new environment. you can install Linux on your computer for nothing. It is absolutely free.

Installing a Linux server is also free. This is what you need when you have a network of people that need serving. It isn't free if you need Windows server OS though. Linux makes a big deal about this, and rightly so. Who doesn't like it?Linux also says its server is so easy to run that anyone could do it. 

You can read tech websites where the real computer nerds talk about this, and you will see people saying that Linux really should be ascending faster than it is. But actually, one developer said what we have just said, in that Linux is just too fragmented. He also just said the obvious in that it just hasn't gained momentum. Microsoft has a virtually unstoppable PR machine. 



This is not to say, however, that Windows is bad. Not at all, and Windows 10 has been for the most part very well received. And as we said at the beginning, Windows has been part of people's lives for many years. People know what they are working with, and even though Linux offers similar alternatives a lot of people don't want to make the effort to change. There is also the case that for a long time people haven't gone over to Linux because they thought it was only for people who know a lot about computers. That using it might take some amount of computer savvy.
