The iPhone 11

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  0

Do you like phones that are easy to use, takes quality pictures, and efficient? Well, the iPhone 11 has it all! This incredible phone is made by Apple and comes in six colors, which are purple, green, white, yellow, black, and red. This phone is very easy to use because it does not have a home button at the bottom of the phone like the old iPhones. Instead, there is a bar at the bottom where you swipe up to go to the home page. For me, this is very easy to use. Also, it takes quality pictures. After all, it does have two cameras on it. The two cameras work together to create stunning Portrait mode images of people, pets, objects, and more. Finally, it is very efficient. This phone is very efficient because it is waterproof and has around 12 hours of battery life. Overall, this phone is very good and I would highly recommend you to buy it. ...  Read more

Can hashed password be decrypted?

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  10

Account security is the most critical thing you need to consider when surfing the internet. Even the most 'secure' websites such as Equifax - an agency that store 800 millions of users' social security number information had a data breach and resulted in the most harm to users. (Check if you are affected by Equifax data breach here) Here are my recommendations when you surf the internet: Make at least three security levels of passwords for high-risk, medium-risk, low-risk websites. For high-risk website logins (such as online forums), only use the lowest security level password. For email logins (such as gmail, hotmail), use the medium security level password. For banking account logins, use the highest security level password. This way, the passwords are easily managed and memorized. Even if any of a high-risk website's database is breached and the password you used there is decrypted, your accounts with email and banking websites are still safe. Here is a question you may have: Is this website high-risk, medium-risk, or low-risk? As far as I know, this website uses the industry-grade and battle-tested bcrypt algorithm to securely hash and salt passwords to ensure extra level of account security. Even if the database is breached by hackers, the hashed passwords cannot be retrieved. This is different from some high-risk websites that passwords are not properly encrypted and administrators can see everything in their control panel. Therefore, I would classify this website as a medium-risk website. Therefore, do not use a password you used to access your banking account here. Also use a password that is different from your email's password, for a piece of mind. ...  Read more

Analytical tools for measuring website traffic

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  0

In this article, I'm introducing two analytical tools for measuring website traffic. One is Google Analytics. It provides a free block of javascript code that you can insert into the head of an HTML page. The tracking operation functions by retrieving data about the page request and sending this information to the Analytics server. In the Google Analytics page, you can find in-depth details about visitors on your website, including page views, locations, traffic sources, real-time activities. A feature I find extremely helpful is that you can add multiple users or administrator accounts so that the website owner does not need to share his or her owner account credentials to other helpers, such as moderators who help to maintain the website. The other web analytical tool I've used is http://web.51.la. Same as Google: A free block of javascript code that needs to go within the head of each HTML page. It offers the majority of functions as Google Analytics except the multiple users per account feature. In addition, 51.la allows visitors to view the web traffic if the website owner permits, and the charts illustrated are easier to read than Google Analytics. The downside is that the language 51.la uses is Chinese. You need to be bilingual to get the most power out of it. ...  Read more

The Bose Headphones

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  0

Do you like to use headphones? If you said yes, then you should buy the Bose headphones. Even though they are not wireless, they do have many cool features that other headphones do not have. For example, their most unique feature is that they have some kind of technology that decreases the sound from outside of the headphones. This makes it easier to hear what is going on inside the headphones. You can also change the size of the headphones so they can fit you better. Furthermore, changing the volume on the headphones can also be accomplished. Moreover, they are extremely comfortable to wear because the cushions go around the ears instead of on the ears. Overall, the Bose headphones are great, and I would highly recommend it. ...  Read more
