OneDrive Files On-Demand is Available to Try for Testers

By -


Last month Microsoft introduced a new feature for OneDrive users called Files On-Demand or rather reintroduced an old feature. The Feature is finally available to try out for insider preview users running Windows 10 Build 16215.
For the feature to be available they have to be on the latest build i.e. 16215 and then they have to install an update for the one drive software which will enable the feature. What this feature does is it download the files from one drive when you use them instead of downloading the whole folder and hence wasting the precious space.

This feature is based on the Placeholders feature that Windows 8.1 used to have before it was cut from Windows 10. This feature is new and improved version of the placeholders feature with enhanced symbols which shows the files that are available to be used offline in Windows Explorer.



The empty cloud means that the file is in the cloud but not on the device, the green check mark denotes that the file is synced to a device and the solid green checkmark means that these files were manually synced by the user. This also means that all the apps on the desktop will be able to access the synced files as the client stores it directly in OneDrive folder.

Microsoft is planning to bring back the placeholders feature that has been missing from windows 10 by the name of OneDrive Files On-Demand. The feature will be available in the Windows 10’s Fall Creators Update.

Hack WPA/WPA2 WPS Wifi Hack

When it was known that a WEP network could be hacked by any kid with a laptop and a network connection (using easy peasy tutorials like those on our blog), the security guys did succeed in making a much more robust security measure WPA/WPA2. Now hacking WPA/WPA2 is a very tedious job in most cases. A dictionary attack may take days, and still might not succeed. Also, good dictionaries are huge. An exhaustive bruteforce including all the alphabets (uppercase lowercase) and numbers, may take years, depending on password length. Rainbow tables are known to speed things up, by completing a part of the guessing job beforehand, but the output rainbow table that needs to be downloaded from the net is disastrously large (can be 100s of GBs sometimes). And finally the security folks were at peace. But it was not over yet, as the new WPA technology was not at all easy for the users to configure. With this in mind, a new security measure was introduced to compliment WPA. Wifi Protected Set

Although the full specification of the speaker is not yet known it is expected to have less features being the affordable one than the pricier one i.e. the Galaxy Home Smart Speakers. This could most likely be their strategy as the Galaxy Home Speaker may compete with the Apple HomePod which cost somewhere around 349 USD but for Samsung to compete with more affordable speakers available in the market like Google Home and Amazon Echo which are available at less than 200 USD or so they had to take this approach. Even though the launch Is not yet confirmed, for Samsung to be able to compete in this niche they will have to focus on the potential customers who opt for more affordable kind of appro
