How To Turn Your Low End PC To Gaming PC

Personal Computer or PC is probably one of the most used gadgets in the twenty first century. We used it for almost everything, from writing, drawing, sharing, and also gaming. Yes, almost all teenagers that live and born in the twenty first century, have at least a laptop or desktop PC with a video game inside it. And we can all agree on the fact that video game become more popular. Everyone from all ages played it, but there's just one problem. Today's video game have a very demanding requirement, you will need a high-end PC with a god level of specification in order to play smoothly and without any problem at all. And unfortunately not everybody have that kind of PC.

Of course you can just play indie games that have a pixel graphics, which does not requires a lot of resources. But if you did not satisfied wit it or maybe you think that pixel art games are boring, and you insist want to play a 3D games in your low end PC. Then you should read this article.

Optimize Your PC

There are lots of ways to optimize your Low end PC for gaming in the internet, but not all of them are working. So I've decided to try every single tips and trick that I can found on the internet, and write the working ones in this article.

Tips 1: Use Game Booster

The first tips, is to use the game booster software. Just like it's name, game booster is a software that will close all of the software or apps that run in the background and clean your PC's memory. Allow you to increase the FPS, and the game will run smoothly. There are not so many game booster out there. The only two that I know was Iobit and Razer Cortex, maybe there's more but those two are the only game booster software that really work.

Tips 2: Lower The Game Resolution

Settings are the most important part in the game. If this thing doesn't exist, then gamers will lose their mind. Anyway, there are lots of things that you can change in setting of a video game. Like resolution, sound, etc. If you can change those things to the lower level then you can hit 60 fps. But remember this tips doesn't always work, it's actually depends on your CPU.

Tips 3: Close All Background Apps

Every computer or laptop have a software in it, and just like most software. They often run in the background, turning your PC from a cheetah to a snail. So how did you solved it? Well, there's only one solution to this. You have to close all software that run in the background, the easy way to do this is download the cleaner software like Ccleaner for example (Game Booster also worked, because cleaner software and game booster are basically the same). What about the hard way? Well, you can open task manager, right-click on the software that you want to close, and then click end task.

Tips 4: Upgrade Your PC's Hardware

This one is for rich people only. Because today's computer hardware have a very high performance and remember, with great power comes great price. But luckily not all PC's hardwares are expensive, and that is the good side of building your own PC. Instead of spending your money on expensive gaming PC or laptop, you can build your own PC and choose or planned which hardware that suits your budget. And you can save your money to buy a game!

Tips 5: Update Your Graphics Driver

Graphics card is the most important part of the computer. Because if there are no graphics driver, our computer will be full with green text and we must input a really complicated commands to run a program. Yes, it is true that graphics card help us a lot these days. But we also have to help the graphics card by updating them. Of course it's not going to break it, if you didn't update it. But it will help you play a video game in 60 fps. And it's easy to do it, just search your graphics card on the internet (of course) and find the latest driver, or you can go to the official website of the graphics card that you have (if you have intel, then go to intel website, if you have nvidia, then go to nvidia website, etc). And then update!

Tips 6: Download A Ragnos1997 Patch

Last but not least, You must be unfamilliar with this one. Ragnos 1997 was a guy on reddit, who decided to make a patch for a video game. With this patch, your game will updated. Allowing you to choose a very low setting on the resolution (which doesn't exist before you patched it). So you can play next gen video game in your low end pc. How do I find this awesome patch? Don't worry, it's easy. Just search a Ragnos1997 patch on google. And then go to the official website, find the patch of a game, download the patch, and apply the patch!

And that's all the tips and trick that I could think of (I want to add more actually, but my brain doesn't allow me). Anyway with all the tips above, you must be wondering if all of them are working, right? Well, no worries because I have tried all of them and because of it I can play skyrim on my crappy laptop safely. But remember computer is just like human, they have a limit. So if you keep pushing or trying a video game that wasn't compatible with your PC, then it will be giving up on you and in the end buying a new PC is the best way.

Wi-Fi Password Hacking Tools

Human need so many things in order to survive, like food so we didn't starve to death, home for protection from a predators, natural resources for building a civilization, and many others. But in the 21st century we have a new things that we need more than other, and it's call Wi-Fi.

Since it's invention in 1969, Internet become more sophisticated and faster. Connecting to the internet, also become easier. Back then we still use a cable to connect to the internet (some people still used it today), and today we have a wireless connection or Wi-Fi. Just go to a place where it was available and connect, simple and easy. But the problem is that sometimes a wireless connection like Wi-Fi, have a password. Not like a cable based connection, of course it wouldn't be a problem if you are the owner. But what if you didn't have an internet connection, and you have to upload a picture of naked guy that just walk in front of you. There's a Wi-Fi nearby but it was protected by password, so what are you gonna do? Of course you can ask the owner, but what if the owner didn't want to tell you the password? Don't worry just read this article and you will find the answer.

Hack a Wi-Fi Password

Everything that was protected by a code or password is annoying. Especially if there's something interesting behind that wall of password, like an internet connection for example. Yes, this day there's a lot of Wi-Fi. And like I've said before, most of them are password protected. The problem is that most people (like me) want it to be free. So how to break this password and get a free Wi-Fi?

Well lucky for you, there's an apps for that.

1. WireShark

It's a network protocol analyzer that could be one of Network Analysis Tool or known as Packet Sniffer. This software is very convenient because not only for hacking a Wi-Fi password, WireShark can be also used for hacking other people. The way it work is that you should use WireShark on a computer that connect to a same network, then you can access the data traffic that was come in and out of the target's computer. While with the Wi-fi password, you can also know how much the quota that have been used and who's using it.

2. Aircrack

Aircrack is the same like WireShark, you can access the target's Wi-fi network and hack the password of course. But not only that, all Wi-fi that was protected with WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wi-fi Protected Access) can be hacked easily. The difference between Aircrack and WireShark is that it was mainly used for testing how strong the password of a Wifi.

3. CMD

If you are a Windows 8 and 10 users and you don't want to waste any time downloading a Wi-fi hacker apps, then you should use Command Prompt. All you have to do is just type this in your CMD:

netsh wlan show network mode=bssid

That command will show every network that was available in you area. A pro hacker will use any network data that available, so they can connect to a Wi-fi network without having to enter the password

4. WifiSlax

One of the most favorite Wi-fi password hacking tools for Windows and Mac user. If this software was used by a professional hacker, they can hack your Wi-Fi password by making a false Wi-fi network with a same name. This is where WifiSlax came, the software then record the password that was used and made you connect easily. So don't be fooled!

5. Kali Linux

The last is Kali Linux, the operation system that only programmer use (I think...). Kali Linux is build on Debian which is the mother of Linux. This OS is made by Offensive Security, and actually Kali Linux was a development project by the biggest penetration OS tool Backtrack. They made Kali linux for testing a security of a computer, website, and even Wi-Fi. That means you can use this OS to search for your friend's Wi-Fi password in no time.

Internet have changed the world and we can't argue about that. We can get so many things from the internet. But the problem is that internet isn't available for everyone, and everybody needs it. It's just like drug. People that didn't have internet will do everything in order to get an access to the internet. And this article show you some of the bad and nasty method that people use to hack a Wi-Fi password, remember this is just for education only.

Myths About Laptop That Are Still Believed

What was the first thing that came to your mind when I said CPU? It's a Personal Computer or maybe Laptop right? Well talking about laptop, did you know that there are over a million laptop have been sold worldwide. And because of that, laptop have become the third most important gadget after television and smartphone. Every people use laptop and almost everybody have it. With a performance like a desktop PC but with a smaller size, laptop quickly take our heart. And behind all of that sophistication, there are so many myths that have been spread among laptop users. 

In this year, technology has reached it's golden age. There are so many gadgets that have become more like human and even helping us doing our job or task. For example a robot, a television that can fold like a paper, drone to spy you neighbor, etc. Technology have become so sophisticated even scientists said that in the next few years. Human will not be needed anymore, our job will be replace by those gadgets and our reign will be no more. But do not worry, there's still one gadgets that will keep helping us instead of taking our job. Yes, it's our old friend laptop (there's no way the army of laptop will invade earth).

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about laptop or even make a review about it (no sponsor remember...). but it's the myth that have been spreading like a wildfire among the geek. And just like a conspiracy theories, some of them are true and some of them are not. So in this article we're gonna mention some of them and give the fact or explanation about the myths.

The Myths About Laptop

Myths doesn't only exist in real life but even in the technology world. There are lots of story going around about gadgets like laptop and the internet. Most of them is not based on fact, but unfortunately a lot of people still believed it. And this article I will tell you all the myths about laptop and give you the fact.

Don't Close the Laptop After You Turn It Off

This is actually true, but it depends on what did you use your laptop for. If you use your laptop for a heavy work that take a lot of your resources like gaming, rendering, etc. Then you shouldn't close your laptop after you turn it off. If you closed it, then you will damaged your laptop's monitor. Better safe than sorry right?

Refresh Your Laptop

Almost every person in the world click refresh before they do something on their laptop. And if you do this, then you are wrong just like every person in the world. Did you what is the function of refresh? It was used for updating the shortcut files or folders that exist in the desktop and this does not affect you laptop performance. So that means you shouldn't press that F5 button to much because it's useless.

Windows Update is Bad

Many people on the internet says that you shouldn't update your windows. Well don't believe those internet "expert". Update is really important, because it gives you the solutions to your laptop's problem. I admit sometimes Windows update reduce my laptop performance, but then it was solve by updating my windows again! If you have a problem just like a glitch or something, just wait for another update and then update it. Just remember no operating system that is perfect!

Clean The Recycle Bin To Increase Your Laptop Performance

Clean your recycle bin does not increase your laptop's performance. It's only give your hard disk a free space and not much. If you want to increase your laptop's performance then defrag your hard disk after you clean your recycle bin.

Bigger RAM Means Faster Laptop

Laptop with bigger RAM is better, but that doesn't mean it was faster. There are two things that determines your laptop fast or not, it was channel and frequency of your RAM. There are four types of channel, Single, Dual, Triple, Quad. If you have 14 GB triple channel and your friend have 18 GB dual channel. The faster one is of course you. The frequency is also important, the bigger the frequencies (Mhz). The faster your laptop.

Remove The Battery When You Are Playing Video Games

Some people think that you should remove your laptop's battery when you are playing video games. Actually this is not true at all, why? Because power depends only on the electricity from the adapter, and when the power off then the laptop will immediately die and can harm the hardware in it. If you still want to remove the battery when playing games, at least use the UPS.

Remove The Charger When It Was Full

Another myths that people still believe. My parents told me that when the laptop is full, remove the charger or the battery's life will be decrease. They said that like a thousand times and let me tell you that it was wrong! Today's laptop have a technology that allow the battery to by-pass the energy that came from laptop. That means the laptop will not receive any energy when the battery was full. It was the heat that break the battery, if you did not want to damaged your battery. Remove the battery when you feel it was hot.

When You First Bought A Laptop, Charge it For A Very Long Time

Did you remember the first time you bought a laptop? What did you do? Did you charge it for 8 to 12 hours?  If you do then you are wrong, but it's all depends on the type of your laptop's battery. If you have the nickel-cadmium, then go ahead charge it for a really long time because it must be recharged fully, or it will lose it's capacity. But if you have a lithium-ion, you can recharged partially, without losing it's capacity. The other reason is that even with the slowest charging, the battery will be full in 6 hours.

Well, that's all the myths that I can think of. To be honest I have done one of the things that I mention above. And trust me, my laptop gets messed up and the battery is depleted. Luckily my father know a lot about laptop, so I was saved. Anyway please do not do any the above, but if you are rich boy that have tons of money to waste then go ahead do it.

Search Engine Before Google Even Exist

For so many years human have been trying to collect and search for an information about anything around them. If they saw something and they didn't know what it is, they will try to find an information about it. Hundreds of years ago, human have been using leaves to write an information (just ask ancient egyptians if you didn't believe), And in 101 BC a chinese man named Tsai Lun invented a paper made from bamboo material. Since then books began to appear, and people start using them to write an information they know. And later all of that books were stored in a library, so if we are curious about something (about birds for example). We can go there, look for a book about birds, and read it.

Hundreds of years later, internet began to take over books and library. No one wants to go to library anymore because if they want to find an information, they just open their smartphone. Everything is available in the internet, from an article about birds to a news about suicide. And the only way to access all of that information is to look for it through search engine.

Search engine have become the most important part in the world of internet. There are so many search engine waiting to be used like Google, Bing, and many else. But did you know that there are lots of search engine long before Google even exist?

Old Search Engine

Google was found in September 4 1998, and sometimes people think that Google is the first search engine (well if you think like that, you should read more). Actually search engine have appeared in the internet a long time ago and the first one has been existed in 1993. If you are curious what is it, you should take a look at the list below.

WebCrawler (1994)

Or sometimes called a spider is one of the oldest search engine and it's still running today. The results of WebCrawler search was combined from Yahoo and Google.

Lycos (1994)

It's the search engine that came to the internet in 1994 the same like WebCrawler. If you are born in the 90's you may know this search engine by it's dog logo. And for your information, Lycos was born in Carnegie Melon University which is own several other internet brands. If Lycos still live, it will probably own by Yahoo.

Altavista (1995)

The most popular search engine, in 1990s of course. This search engine is still running in 2003 which is when Yahoo take over AltaVista, and it's eventually died in 2013.

Excite (1995)

1990s people knew this search engine, because it was the most recognizable brands. Just like Google today, but then the two biggest search engine name Googke and Yahoo came in. Make Excite lose competitiveness, and eventually fall from it's spotlight. 

Yahoo (1995)

I don't to explain this one, because you guys already knew this one. Yahoo is probably the only old search engine that can compete with Google and still exist today. According to Alexa, Yahoo is in the fourth spot in the most visited website (I'm afraid Techno Core Blog is not in the count).

Dogpile (1996)

No it's not that dogpile, but it was a search engine. A pretty unique and memorable name, Dog have been existed since 1996 and the search result was combined from Yahoo, Google, and Yandex (the russian search engine)

Ask Jeeves (1996)

Ask Jeeves is probably the most unique search engine. Because this search engine have a questin and answer format. It's still exist today and you'll probably know this search engine with the name Ask.com.

Did you guys still use one of the search engine or maybe you just found out now? Well, after read this article you probably know that Google is not the first one. And all of that search engine was as big as Google back then. So if you by any chance find one of those old search engine, please used it and give them some attention.

An Introduction To The Computer Component

Last time I already give you an article where I talk about network topology (look it in my blog if you didn't know), the definition, it's function, history, everything. Now I'm gonna do the same thing, but this time with computer. Yes, I'm gonna talk about components inside the computer, hardware and software. And If you are going to build a computer, you should read this article (And share it, I'm begging you...).

Computer, just like we know it was the most important invention after television, wheel, and smartphone. Everybody used it, can you imagine what happen if there are no computer? Our life will be so boring, all of our tasks like homework will always be written in paper. If computer doesn't exist, smartphone will only be a dream. And there's a reason why computer is so important; It's the components. The technology have become more sophisticated this days, and so does the computer components. So if the component become more sophisticated, the computer itself become more sophisticated too. Our tasks will be easy to complete, and we can get all information that we need thanks to it. And that's why computer is so important.

Anyway, every high tech device needs a components in order to be working. Like a smartphone that can't work if there are no ion-lithium battery, the same with computer. It can't work if there are no processor inside, and processor can't work if there are no motherboard in the CPU, all of that components are working together to form a perfect and beautiful PC. And in this article I'm gonna explain everything.

Components Of The Computer

For you who didn't know, the components inside a computer are divided into three parts. Hardware, software, and brainware. And hardware itself can be divided into input, process, storage and also output. You can find all of the explanation below:

Hardware, is the most basic thing that you should know if you are going to build a computer. It can't work without this. But what is hardware exactly? Well, after I did a research which is in Wikipedia (Just kidding...). It says that hardware is the phsyical parts of computer components. And it can be divided into:

• Input: It was a device or hardware that was used to provide and send a data into a processing device. And then later the data was processed into an information that you can use.

• Process: This is basically the brain of computer. All of the information that you send, will be processed here. There are three important elements in here, Primary Storage, Arithmatic Logic Unit, and Main Memory. I will them explain later.

• Output: is a device that was used by CPU to display the result of a data that was translate by the processing device. If you look closely, you should notice that most of output device was located outside the computer.

• Storage: The last is storage, just like it's name storage was a device to store all of your data and files in your computer. The most basic storage device is memory and there are two kind of memory Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM).

Software, the second one should be software. Or known as application. Software is basicaly a collection of electronic data that was stored and organized by the computer. The data that was stored can be a program or instruction that will run or execute a command. And software is the one that was used by computer to execute that command. The only difference between hardware and software, is that you can touch a hardware. And software can't (Unless you have a touch screen computer of course). And just like hardware, software can be divided into:

• Freeware: is the type of software that you can use as long as you want and of course you didn't have to pay to own the software. There are no such thing called limited time in freeware, and it was usually donated to the communities. This communities have a rights to develop and control the freeware product. They can also give the software to the developer, if the developer was no longer continue the development. They will give the source code to the other developer.

• Shareware: is another type of software that didn't take your money, or in other words free. It was almost like a freeware, You can get shareware at no cost. But there's a requirement for it, you can't use it to the fullest. That means there will be certain limitations on features like availabity, function, and comfort that can be fully utilized. People called it trialware because of that, the developer use shareware as a tool for advertising. So it's just like video game, there's a demo version (promotional) and full version (the real one). Shareware is just like the demo version of a full version software.

• Firmware: is a software that was stored in Read Only Memory (ROM), firmware can't be change even if there are no electricity. What about the place where it was stored in ROM? It can't be change too, but it can be modified depends on the type of the ROM like EEPROM and Flash Rom.

• Commercial Software: is a software for commercial purposes that can be bought at distributor, developer, and other software developer partner. The user who bought that software can't redistribute or reshare the software without permission, because it was protected by law and you can go to jail if you did that. One of the example of commercial software is Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Visual Basic NET, etc.

• Free Software: is a software where you can do anything you want. You can bought it for free, change the source code, and distributed the software. It was not protected by law because it was open for everyone, you can even sell the free software that you have changed and make some profit from it. If you still confused, just imagine a person draw a straight line in a paper, then that person give you the drawing. And then you change or modified the straight line into any drawing. After that you sold it, and get some money.

• Open Source Software: is a software where you can changed, learn, upgrade, and distributed the source code. It was open for a community or a group of developer to change the code. Because open source software was built for that purposes, sometimes only a programmer or a person that know programming that own this kind of software.

• Malware: or malicious software is a type of software that can harm your computer. Malware can be very destructive, it can delete all of your important files, slowing down or decreasing your computer performance, and even kill your computer. There are so many types of malware like trojan horse, adware, worm, rootkit, crimeware, etc.

Brainware, last but not least is brainware. It was not a cpu nor a processor, but it's you the user. Many people sometimes mistaken brainware as the important part of the computer, but actually brainware is the person who use the computer like programmer, netter, and many else. Brainware is the part of holy trinity of the computer world, software can't work without hardware and hardware should be operated by brainware. If there's one missing the computer will not be working.

Hardware Components

There are so many components inside in the computer and each of them have it's own function. It's just like a transformers, there are lots of parts or components inside and you will be confuse if I mention them all. So for the last part of this article, I'm gonna mention some of the hardware components, and put them according to their type like input, process, storage, and output (sorry if there are bad grammar).

Input

1. Mouse, is one of the component that was very important. It was use for interacting with a monitor, you need this to click everything that you want to click on your computer. And almost every computer need it, especially if you are good at design graphic and a gamer too. There are several types of mouse, serial type mouse, PS/2 mouse, scroll mouse, and the one that everybody use; optical mouse.

2. Keyboard, what's the first thing that come to your mind when you hear the word computer? Yes, keyboard. It begin from typewriter, and from there keyboard become more advanced. Just like it's previous ancestor, there are lots of button in keyboard. From function button (F1...F12), letter button, numbers, etc. And you will need it for writing or typing something in your computer.

3. Scanner, another input device comes in third place. If you are an illustrator or maybe you are working for a prson who make a comic book, the you must be familiar with this device. Just like it's name, scanner is use for scanning a drawing from a paper and then the scanner put the drawing that you just scan in the computer.

Process

1. Processor, the first and the obvious one is processor. All of data from input device was sent and then translate it by this device. Processor have two important role in a computer, as Arithmatic Logic Unit (the center of all mathematic calculations), and Memory Unit (store all the functions that was executed by the processor).

2. Motherboard, is like a big town of circuit with processor and a lot of slot (like IDE, PCI, FDD, etc) as it's building. Yes, this is where you put most of the computer components. And like I've said before, motherboard have a lot of slots and some extra slot for card/adapters. There are lots of thing that you can find in motherboard like BIOS, memory, CPU, mass-storage interface, serial ports, expansion slots, and controller.

3. Sound Card, is an expansion card that for producing a sound that will connected to a speaker. Sound card is available in every computer, and computer doesn't really need sound card to produce a sound. Usually sound card was attached in motherboard. But if you want a better sound quality, you may want to bought a separate sound card and put it in PCI slot.

Output

1. Monitor, or people called it computer screen. It was the most important thing that you'll need if you want to have a computer. Monitor is used to display a data and information that was processed by a computer in a form of a picture. There are two types of monitor that you can find, CRT or Cathode Ray Tube (ask your parents if you didn't know) and LCD or Liquid Crystal Display (The slim version of CRT).

2. Printer, is used to display the result of a data that was processed by computer in a form of writing or picture that was printed in a paper. Today there are so many types of printer like Dot Matrix (It use carbon tape to print on paper), Inkjet (It use ink of course), Laser (The best printer type).

3. Speaker, is a device that conects to a computer (and television too) to generate sound.The signal used to produce sound that comes from a computer speaker is created by the computer's sound card. To be simple, sound card is the processing device and speaker is the output.

Storage

1. USB Flash Disk, the most popular and most used device in the world. Almost every people used it, why? Because of course it was easy to use and can store data up to 128 GB, cheap (the most important thing), can delete and store your data easily, plug and play and many else.

2. Hard Disk Drive, or HDD is a storage device made from a rigid material that shaped like a disc. It was cover in magnetic oxide with huge storage capacity (up to 1 terra byte!). This device can be found in almost every CPU that you can find. And of course there are two types of HDD, PATA and SATA (the new and most used by today's computer).

3. Memory, the basic strorage device. Just like every storage device, it was used for store the data and the result of output device. Memory was made in a serial location or cells, one cell can store one word. Computer memory is divided into two types Primary Memory (like ROM and RAM), and Secondary Memory (disc, compact disc, and hardisk).

Technology is probably the greatest achievement in our life, with times passed by. Technology become more advanced. Just like human that needs air to breath, gadgets and machine needs a component or hardware in order to be working. Because of the gadgets and machines our job and tasks become easier, our house become safer, and we also can meet another person in another country. All of that will only be a dream if there are no components or hardware inside it.
