Celebrity Issues
· β 3 min read · βοΈ sathya
Being a mini “celebrity”Β can be a problem. Now I’m no “celebrity”, but being a moderator of India’s biggest tech website forums, Tech2.o has its advantagesβ¦and drawbacks too. Some of the people who contact me on IM, just make me go =)) =)) =))
Case in point was the other day, while I was working, I get buzzed on IM. A guy asks me, “are you the moderator at tech2?". I say “yes”. He tells me: ““prove it!!” I was like WTF?, and I go “Why should I?". He then goes :“I KNOW YOU ARE LYING”. I then go “Ughhh, Ok, fine. I see no reason as to why I should “prove” you anything” . I’m like jeez what losers. Unfortunately I didnt have teh ENTIRE log of that conversation to share with you guys.
Enable/Disable AutoPlay For Individual Drives
· β 1 min read · βοΈ sathya
Windows’ Autoplay is a neat feature - the moment you pop in a CD/Drive or a Removable drive, autorun.inf file is read, and any executable file mentioned in there is executed. While this seems as a good idea, say, for automated setup installers, Autoplay has gathered some infamy as a virus distribution centre.
With default settings, you can only disable or enable Autoplay totally, not for individual drives. So is there a way to enable Autoplay, say only for individual drives, say, CD Drive? Yes!
For that you’ll need Tweak UI, grab it from here. After installing, launch it.
