Artificial Intelligence: A Force for Good

-
  Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology with the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. While there are some concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI, there are also many ways that it can be used for good. Here are some examples of how AI is being used for good: Healthcare: AI is being used to develop new drugs and treatments, improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and provide personalized healthcare. For example, AI-powered systems are being used to analyze medical images and data to detect cancer and other diseases earlier and more accurately than ever before. Education: AI is being used to personalize learning, provide real-time feedback, and help students learn at their own pace. For example, AI-powered tutors can provide personalized feedback to students on their homework and help them identify areas where they need additional help. Environment: AI is being used to monitor and protect the environment. For exampl

Public vs. Private Clouds: A quick look at the Pros and Cons

Hello, and welcome back to my blog! This week we will be discussing the positive and negative sides of using public and private clouds.         For many small businesses, turning to the cloud would seem like a daunting and challenging task. Just thinking about the many different types of Cloud services and various companies that offer them would take time to sort out what you want and how to make the change.       I will cover the pros and cons of using public and private clouds in the hopes that you will come away with a little bit more knowledge on the matter than when you arrived. Of course, if you would like to know more about the different types of cloud services outside of these two, I am about to discuss, here is a link to one of my earlier postings here,  Link      So, let us go and dive into what these two types of cloud services are. If you have heard of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, you may also know that they offer paid or free cloud services. Other vendors

What is Cloud gaming?

-
  Hello, and welcome back to my blog! This week, we will be talking about gaming through the cloud and Internet speeds. If you have been following your favorite tech blogger on YouTube or have been in the loop of the world of gaming, you may have heard of the topic regarding gaming through the use of the cloud. If not, do not worry. You are not alone in this topic, as many may not have heard of this yet. But how does this work? I am glad you asked because the way this would work is this, instead of playing a game on your favorite console or PC, you would play your game over the internet. That game would is located on a server in a data center located in a far-off place. What you are doing is sending commands through the internet with your console controller or keyboard and mouse as you would if you had the game playing on your PC or console. You could call this remote gaming as you are accessing the game from somewhere else. This is not like playing a multiplayer game on your PC

A Look At Windows Maintenance Tasks

-
Hello again, and welcome to my blog! This week we will discuss the importance of maintaining your computer, more specifically your Windows-powered computer. We will touch on several vital maintenance tasks that you should try doing on a regular’s basis.      Let us begin!   Owning your computer, much like owning a car, requires maintenance every so often, some more than others. As with all things, having a well-maintained machine will save you down the line and keep you going because nothing could be more frustrating when your computer fails, and that project you have been working on is now gone forever. Not a great feeling!   Windows Update   One of the most important things to do, and sometimes overlooked, is keeping your machine up to date. Though some operating systems do this automatically, it is best to check if there are updates that require manual installation as Windows may not install essential security updates.    You can check by going to Settings >

Virtualization Overview

-
 Hello, and welcome to my blog!   This week, we will discuss virtualization.   But what is virtualization, and why is it used?  Well, virtualization is the process of running an operating system in an app window on your desktop that behaves like a physical computer.   Another great feature of virtualization is the ability to run applications in a sandbox environment. Meaning, you can test applications in a safe place protected from interacting with your computer, or you can try different operating systems like Linux to see if it is right for you.   There are different types of virtualizations, such as Hardware Virtualization, Desktop visualization, Application Virtualization, Memory Virtualization, and my favorite, Video Game Console Emulation.  Of course, there are many more types of virtualizations, but I will not be going over all of them today as this blog could take a long time explaining each one of them. I will be going over the ones I just mentioned in the best detail t

Outsourcing vs. Cloud Computing, a quick look

-
 This week we will discuss an exciting topic of outsourcing and cloud computing.   To understand what the two are, let’s look at both and how they benefit or hinder a company.    Outsourcing , as we come to know it, is the method where a company hires a third-party provider who then performs a specific task or function on behalf and for the benefit of a business. This method can perform functions that cloud computing cannot do or does not execute.    Cloud computing  is the practice of using a network of remote servers that are hosted over the internet to manage, store, and process data, rather than doing so on a local server or a personal computer.                                             *Cloud computing is not the same as outsourcing*  The difference between the two is that cloud computing can do computing between different machines at different locations and combine the data from one application to another.  While outsourcing is where a business hires someone to do

The Different Types of Cloud Models

-
       This week we will discuss the different types of cloud models. These are Public, Private, Community, and Hybrid cloud models, which will thoroughly go into some detail with examples of what they are and how they are used.        For many, some of us used cloud storage, either for work or personal use. A majority of users that store their photos, music, or documents may be using a private cloud, such as Apple's iCloud Drive, Microsoft's One Drive, or Google's Drive, to name a few.        However, large companies may use services, such as Amazon Web Services or Services from Google that are suited for business logistics. These services will have different features than your regular cloud services.        Whether it be for personal use or business, cloud services can vary on what features are available. Let us look at the different types of cloud models and how they are used.        In total, there are four types of cloud models: Public, Private, Community, and

GPT vs. MBR Partitioning, A Quick Look

-
  Partitioning is a way to manage space for your server or PC that ensure the OS is in the right place to manage data. When a new medium is installed on a server or a personal computer, the operating system will not install data until the new storage device has been partitioned. However, some users may not understand which partition method to use when prompted. Below will outline the difference between GPT and MBR partitions, their limitations, and level of security.  What is GPT and MBR partitions?                 Master Boot Record or MBR is an older method that is used for the standard BIOS partition table. Simultaneously, GUID Partition Table or GPT is used in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface or UEFI. “ GPT is new. But the new one is not always better than the old one. Many vendors utilize MBR technology since it is still predominantly used in the real world. GPT disks have the advantages of partition size, the number of partitions, and resilience. If a computer that uses
