Apache has been truly one of the dominant web servers of the World Wide Web. It’s one of the best open source projects, Web Server for both the Windows and the NIX platform. It’s maintained by the open source community under the name Apache Software Foundation. Now first we will learn about the techniques to how harden our Apache configuration for a safer web experience. Security 101- DENY ALL Always remember it’s the best security to deny all and only allow specific services, ports and firewall rules as per the configuration....

In Halo: Reach, there are 19 Data Pads hidden around the Campaign that players can find. With Halo: Reach available in The Master Chief Collection on PC, players might want to get a refresher on their Halo lore by collecting these. While Data Pads aren’t “collectibles” per-se, they are tablets of information players can find in order to learn more about the franchise. 9 out of the 19 Data Pads are found by going through each level of the Campaign on any difficulty, except for the final level, ‘Lone Wolf’....

Throughout all of the Harry Potter films, the Ministry Of Magic is a point of contention. We know the original Minister, Cornelius Fudge, has some questionable policies and certain issues with acceptance, but we can all agree that that was a better system than the muggle torturing, death eater-run Ministry from the latter films. Considering JK Rowling effectively set up an entire political system and parliamentary houses in the making of Harry Potter, there were bound to be a few details we overlooked within the books and films....

Hermione Granger is not only one of the greatest characters in Harry Potter, but she’s also one of the best characters throughout the history of fiction. JK Rowling has done a tremendous job creating a character who is complex, generous, brilliant, and emotionally intelligent. Hermione is so many things, and we will always consider her character to be a role model who has shaped our childhood. With that being said, there are some things about Hermione Granger that don’t make a lot of sense to us....

The Harry Potter franchise has introduced us to a lot of memorable characters, iconic settings and organizations. The Order of the Phoenix combines all three of these elements to produce a group so famous that one of the 7 books was named after it. Created by Albus Dumbledore during the height of Voldemort’s power and revived when he had returned in a more modern era, the Order of the Phoenix is a group dedicated to protecting the wizarding world....

You don’t necessarily have to buy financial software, either. You can use Google Sheets, a free online spreadsheet editor that works just like Microsoft Excel. You get 15GB of free storage, so you have room for a lot of financial spreadsheets. You may be able to use it for years before updating to a paid financial software like our sponsor, Oracle Netsuite. More on that option later. Here are a few easy formulas to make the most out of Google Sheets....

Apple products span all sorts of demographics with all sorts of products, from wearable Watches to iPhones to post-PC tablets to desktop Macs. There’s a lot out there in the Apple ecosystem to buy this holiday season as a gift for someone you know (or for yourself) who loves Apple products. My iPhone, iPad and Mac picks include the Fermata wireless headphone stand, Osmo game system, RockJaw earbuds, and Apple Pencil....

It’s long been known that the King Kong reboot, Kong: Skull Island, would be a part of Warner Bros. and Legendary Studio’s planned monsters shared universe, incorporating Skull Island into the same continuity as as Gareth Edwards’s 2014 Godzilla reboot. But as marketing for the film originally kicked in, there was little evidence of the planned crossover. Granted the universe is young, and most crossovers will likely be saved for the inevitable Godzilla vs King Kong movie down the road, but up to this point, the only people aware that these movies exist in the same universe are fans that have been following the news from Legendary Studios....

The UK government is bungling yet another aspect of the pandemic response as it appears Google and Apple have blocked a recent update to the NHS COVID-19 contact tracing app over location sharing issues. According to the BBC, this recent update was supposed to be made available on the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store simultaneously as nationwide lockdowns ease over ahead of the full removal of restrictions on June 21....

Clay Caviness, systems administrator on Google’s internal Macintosh Operations team, just announced on Google+ that the team will begin releasing a selection of scripts, tools, and utilities used internally. The goal is to help other Mac administrators, and the team is releasing the first set of items today for “managing and tracking a fleet of Macintoshes in a corporate environment.” The first tool is an application usage module for crankd – a Mac administration tool used to execute scripts and Python code related to network and system activity....

Running for 16 years, Grey’s Anatomy has taught us a lot. The show has proven to be more than a drama. No matter how entangled fans become with relationships or plots, it has allowed them to see the ins-and-outs of a working hospital. It has also taken fans beyond the double doors to see what it’s like to live the life of a hardworking surgeon. Fans may not be ready to don their scrub-cap and gown, but they cannot deny that they haven’t learned a thing or two from the Grey-Sloan surgeons....

Rubeus Hagrid is definitely one of the most beloved characters from the Harry Potter series. He acted as one of Harry’s most consistent parental figures throughout his years at Hogwarts. While Hagrid might not have always been the professor with the most common sense, he does have a good heart, and he clearly cared a lot about Harry. While many fans love Hagrid, he definitely had some flaws and did some things that haven’t aged well....

Lorelai Gilmore was never particularly close to her parents on Gilmore Girls, but they wanted to change that when Rory was in high school. With Rory growing up, Emily and Richard wanted a better relationship with their daughter and granddaughter, which was when Friday night dinners were implemented. As long as Lorelai was paying the Gilmores back for Rory’s education, Friday night dinners were mandatory. In total, there were over 70 Friday night dinners by the time Gilmore Girls came to a close....

Augmented Reality is one of the coolest developments of smartphones in the last few years. If you use any latest smartphone then you can Google for 3D animals. It allows you to visualize live animals in AR. You can see the animals in action in the white space. If you want to represent the AR animal in your own space such as a room or wall, you can do that as well....

Google currently has separate desktop clients to back up to Google Drive and Photos. With the upcoming Backup and Sync for Mac, the company is replacing the Drive client with a new app that features better integration. Backup and Sync from Google is a tool “intended to help everyday users back up files and photos from their computers, so they’re safe and accessible from anywhere.” It specifically replaces Google Drive for Mac, with existing settings being respected after the upgrade....

[viddler id=a66cf352 w=704 h=400] Update: Apple responds. Google chairman Eric Schmidt spoke at the company’s Big Tent Summit in India this morning, and, on top of claiming there are no immediate plans to merge Chrome and Android, the executive discussed the possibility of Google Now coming to iOS devices. It appears Google is in a similar situation to when it launched a standalone Google Maps app, as Schmidt claimed it’s up to Apple to approve or reject Google Now for the App Store....

Ever since Thor joined the Guardians of the Galaxy aboard the Benatar at the end of Avengers: Endgame and bickered with Star-Lord about who was the leader of “the Asgardians of the Galaxy,” MCU fans have been speculating whether or not the God of Thunder will play a major role in the team’s next intergalactic adventure. At their giant Comic-Con panel this year, Marvel announced that Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor’s fourth solo movie, would be released in 2021, with no official date set for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

Delete Old Windows Installs If you upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on an older PC and your hard drive is nearly full, you can reclaim gigabytes of space by deleting the Windows.old folder. Just remember, if you do upgrade to Windows 10, you have 30 days to roll back to the previous version. So, if that is a concern, make sure not to be too hasty in getting rid of it....
