  • How to install Windows 11 if your PC does not meet minimum requirements

    How to install Windows 11 if your PC does not meet minimum requirements


    Microsoft released Windows 11 earlier today, along with updated minimum hardware requirements. Many people have already complained on Twitter that their relatively new hardware, such as Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 (released in 2017) and even newer hardware, isn’t compatible. This is due to the fact that Microsoft now requires the presence of a TPM 2.0 module in the device, as explained below by the Twitter handle @KorokuGaming:

    Open Windows Powershell and type get-tpm to see if your device has the compatible TPM; here’s an example from one of our recently built gaming rigs:

    In a nutshell, if you are planning to try out Windows 11 then you’ll need the minimum specs below:

    • 1Ghz 64-bit dual-core processor
    • 4GB RAM
    • 64GB storage
    • 9-inch display (1366×768 resolution)
    • UEFI, Secure Boot
    • TPM 2.0
    • DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x

    If you get the above message when running the Windows PC Health Check app, there’s still a way to get Windows 11 next week when it’s released to Insiders. You’ll need to opt into the Dev channel of Windows Insiders within Windows 10, and you’ll get the build automatically when it’s released, minimum specs be damned.

    To join Windows Insiders, go to All Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program (you may be prompted to enable Optional Diagnostic & Feedback), then click Get started and select the Dev channel if it’s available (you may have to restart Windows in order to switch channels).

    The complete process is outlined in this post at the Windows Insider Blog:

    All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs up through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.

    People who choose to get Windows 11 Insider builds despite the fact that their device isn’t eligible may experience bugs that will never be fixed, which could lead to them being flagged as having an incompatible device when reporting bugs to Microsoft.

    Windows 11
    Come here my pretty!

    Furthermore, if you run into issues and decide to reinstall Windows by hard-resetting your computer, those devices will be automatically opted out of Windows 11 Insider Preview builds and will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11. These devices will be treated as new PCs, according to Microsoft, and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced.

    Finally, when Windows 11 is made generally available, which means when the final build is released, those PCs will be removed from the flighting program and will have to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch.

  • Mero Kitta launched – An online digital map print service

    Mero Kitta launched – An online digital map print service


    Landowners no longer need to go to the survey office to get a printed map for the purpose of building a home, constructing buildings, or buying and selling after the launch of ‘Mero Kitta.’

    The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation’s Department of Surveying and Mapping has begun offering online services as of today.

    At a formal ceremony held at the survey department on Thursday, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli switched on automated software related to land administration, officially launching the device.

    With the aim of providing services online, the department has launched Nepal Land Information System (NeLIS) and Mero Kitta today.

    Through the ‘Nepal Land Information System,’ the government will provide map printing, field book printing, and other services to clients right from their homes.

    According to the government, the program was started to make survey office services more technologically friendly, hassle-free, efficient, fast, and successful.

    The government, according to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, has been concentrating on attracting new investment and technology.

    “Both offices are identical. Prime Minister Oli said, “We have changed the way we operate.”

    The Mero Kitta program, according to Shivamaya Tumbahangphe, Land Management, Cooperative and Poverty Alleviation, has been launched to eliminate delays at the Land Revenue and Survey Office.

    He explained that the Land Revenue and Survey Office’s decision to implement a paperless program is in line with the government’s Digital Nepal initiative.

    Teknarayan Pandey, Secretary at the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation, stated that the online service was launched to eliminate the requirement of queuing in the real estate sector.

    Secretary Pandey said, “The current migration trend must resolve the problem of providing clients with services from every local Land Revenue and Survey Office.” “Real estate transactions can be completed over the internet.”

    He explained that for digital verification, you must often be present, otherwise it would be done online.

    18 of the 126 survey offices around the country are yet to go online.

    According to the government, all offices will be able to provide online services and conduct business by the end of the year.

    According to Pandey, the ministry has begun work on making it possible to view the entire history of land on the internet.

    Institutional transactions, banks, and even small businesses can conduct business online, according to him.

    Prakash Joshi, Director General of the Survey Department, said that the service would be available in the survey offices of Kalanki, Dilli Bazaar, and Bhaktapur starting today. It will be available in the offices of Chabahil, Lalitpur, Manmaiju, Tokha, and Saankhu within a day or two.

    blankWhat is Mero Kitta? How to get Mero Kitta service?

    Mero Kitta is a web application that allows you to access some of the services offered by survey offices through the internet from anywhere.

    Map printing, plot register printing, field book printing, and field drawing application can all be achieved with the Mero Kitta method. To use the Mero Kitta scheme, clients must have a land ownership certificate and citizenship.

    To get the service, ordinary users must go to Mero Kitta’s website and fill out an online application in the specified format. The OTP code is sent to the registered mobile number after the application is submitted. For the duration of the service, the code is needed.

    After verifying the service details with the offices, all information about the revenue sum to be billed is collected via SMS.

    Clients must have a mobile number and an OTP on the connect IPS platform in order to pay the revenue sum. Payment can also be made via banks using an online voucher provided by the system.

    Following payment, a digital copy of the map will be imported from the offices, and details will be sent to the smartphone. To obtain the chart, the client must download it within seven days using the registered mobile number and the office’s OTP.

  • There are eight things you should do to ensure that your laptop lasts as long as possible in Nepal

    There are eight things you should do to ensure that your laptop lasts as long as possible in Nepal


    Laptops are far more convenient than desktop computers for the majority of people. The majority of people nowadays work on laptop computers. A good laptop can be as powerful as you want it to be, which is why there are so many high-priced models available.

    Because a laptop is more expensive to replace, it is critical to understand how to properly care for it. Because you can take your laptop almost anywhere, it can withstand far more abuse than you might think. Today, we’ll give you a list of things you can do to make sure your laptop lasts a long time, especially if you’re in Nepal.

    1. Ensure proper routine care

    Without a doubt, this is the most crucial factor in ensuring that your laptop lasts a long time. Always be cautious when leaving your laptop unattended. Make sure it’s not in the vicinity of children or pets, and that it’s not facing the sun. Maintaining proper routine care is essential. Drinks and food should not be consumed in close proximity to the laptop. Holding the laptop by the screen is never a good idea. Maintaining a comfortable temperature for the laptop is essential, as is keeping it away from any electrical appliances.

    2. Protect in a bag

    It’s very likely that your laptop will accompany you on your travels, so it’s critical to keep it safe at all times. It is strongly advised that you purchase a suitable carry bag. Stacking items on top of the laptop should be avoided because it can damage the laptop’s components. Also, take good care of the screen. People frequently forget to place items on the laptop’s keyboard before closing the lid, which can cause the screen to crack. Always remember not to put anything on the keyboard in the first place. Slamming the lid shut could also damage the laptop.

    3. Keep the laptop clean

    If you’re working and carrying your laptop around, a lot of dirt, hair, dirt, and crumbs, to name a few, can get into it. This is potentially damaging to your laptop and will degrade its performance. Gunk can obstruct the fan’s ability to do its job, as well as affect the laptop’s temperature. It is always preferable to avoid allowing the gunk into the laptop in the first place. This is why you should keep drinks and foods away from your laptop. When you are not using the laptop, it is a good idea to close it and place it inside the case. Finally, some gunk is unavoidable, so it’s a good idea to clean your laptop with the right tools or take it to a professional when necessary.

    4. Keep it clean inside

    <
    If your laptop has a hard drive, defragmenting it once every two months can improve the laptop’s performance. Keeping it clean on the inside also entails deleting any unnecessary files, folders, or apps. By freeing up space on your laptop and reducing the amount of work your hard drive has to do, you can improve its performance and reduce the amount of work it has to do.

    5. Avoid overheating

    A computer that is kept cool will always last longer. When you’re using your laptop, make sure there’s enough airflow. It is best to avoid using a laptop in bed or on the carpet. Using a pillow as padding should also be avoided because it can obstruct the laptop’s air vents. A cooling fan is recommended because it raises the laptop off the desk and has built-in fans that allow for better airflow. Limiting the number of programs you run can also help keep your laptop from overheating. You can always enable power-saving mode for normal use.

    6. Run a virus scan

    We spend a lot of time on the internet and download a lot of information. Along with downloading the things we require, we may unwittingly download malware or spyware. They’re a common cause of laptop sluggishness. A virus scan can help you identify the source of your slow computer and prevent malware attacks from occurring. Your browser selection can also aid in malware protection.

    7. Taking care of the battery

    The battery is an important component of your laptop and serves as the power source for it. In order to extend the battery’s life, it must be properly cared for. Make sure the batteries are kept at room temperature at all times. If you’re going to store your laptop for a few days, it’s best to keep the battery half charged rather than fully charged or uncharged. It goes without saying that you should not leave your laptop plugged in overnight.

    8. Upgrade

    Your laptop’s performance will gradually deteriorate over time. Instead of purchasing a new laptop, you can upgrade the parts in your current one, which can significantly improve the usability and performance of your machine. Hardware components that affect the performance of the laptop, such as fans, hard drives, and batteries, can be upgraded or replaced. You can upgrade your laptop’s hard drive and RAM, which will improve its speed, performance, and lifespan.

  • How to learn any skills faster in six steps

    How to learn any skills faster in six steps


    Practice makes perfect when it comes to skills.

    G. I. Joe Fallacy: the idea that knowing is half the battle. It needs to be retired not just from our theories of how the mind works, but also from our practices of trying to shape minds to work better.

    Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler

    As a consequence, if you want to achieve an objective, lectures alone will not suffice. You want to be more prepared. Lectures can only help you learn more. It will not provide you with the tools you need to improve your job performance.

    Set (realistic) goals!

    Your objectives should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound).

    You can also use the WOOP technique (wish, result, challenge, plan) to set goals and achieve them more quickly.

    In his book Originals, Wharton Organizational Psychology Professor Adam Grant suggests that the greatest input comes from fellow creators, not from the audience or managers.

    We could all rely more on peer feedback and do a better job saying, “When I’ve got a new idea, I’m not necessarily going to trust my own judgment. But I’m not always going to trust … middle managers who tend to be the most risk-averse and most conservative. I’m going to go to people who are fellow creators.”

    Adam Grant

    Deliberate practice to learn any skill faster!

    Regular practice may be mindless repetitions, whereas deliberate practice requires focused attention and is done with the explicit goal of increasing performance.

    Benjamin Franklin’s father chastised him for his poor writing skills when he was a teenager. Franklin made a pledge to himself to improve his prose. He began by reading works by some of the most popular authors of the time. He then rewrote each essay in his own words before comparing it to the original.

    World-class violinists only train for 90 minutes a day, but those 90 minutes are spent focusing on areas where they are weak or need to develop. They don’t practice what is easy for them. It’s pointless to do so. Deliberate practice, on the other hand, forces one to step outside of their comfort zone. You’re still focusing on what you need to work on, and once you’ve accomplished it, you move on to more challenging skills. It’s like turning your life into a game.

    Choose the mindset required!

    Carol Dweck coined the terms “fixed mentality” and “development mindset” to describe people’s beliefs about learning and intellect. Students who believe they can boost their intellect understand that perseverance pays off. As a result, they put forward more effort and commitment, resulting in increased results.

    We can change someone’s perspective from fixed to development, according to studies. They become more inspired and do more as we do so. The study of brain plasticity has shown how neuronal communication changes over time. With practice, neural networks form new associations and strengthen old ones.

  • Bitcoin Has Dropped 50% From Its All-Time High

    Bitcoin Has Dropped 50% From Its All-Time High


    Bitcoin prices have plummeted in recent months, losing more than half their value since mid-April and falling to just under $30,000 this morning.

    According to CoinDesk numbers, the world’s most common digital currency reached $30,201.96 today.

    According to additional CoinDesk data, it was down more than 55 percent from its all-time high of nearly $65,000 at this point.

    At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency was trading around $37,000, and many market analysts weighed in, shedding light on the digital asset’s recent price fluctuations and evaluating its short-term prospects.

    [Editor’s note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is extremely risky, and the market is largely unregulated.] Anyone thinking about it should be aware that they might lose their entire investment.]

    Selling Pressure That Is ‘Relentless’

    “Over the last 24 hours, the selling pressure in the BTC market has been relentless, perfectly aligning with elevated bitcoin inflows to exchanges seen on-chain,” said Sean Rooney, head of research at Valkyrie Investments.

    “Binance led the charge on Monday, with over 53,000 BTC dumped into the exchange to be sold,” he explained.

    Nick Mancini, a research analyst at Trade The Chain, a crypto sentiment data provider, discussed how events like these influenced prices.

    “Bitcoin is now down 45 percent from its April high of nearly $65,000,” he said.

    “Short-term sentiment seemed to be bottoming out with price, but it appears that they were only consolidating for a further decline,” Mancini said.

    “The good news is that Bitcoin’s primary liquidity levels in the $30,000 range remained stable throughout the decline, causing the price to recover from $30,000 to near $37,000 in less than an hour.”

    “Key support levels are $28,500, $24,000, and $20,000, which all correspond to order book liquidity levels,” Mancini said.

    StockCharts.com’s chief market strategist, David Keller, added:

    “Bitcoin’s drop to $30,000 made technical sense because it’s a 100 percent retracement back to the January lows. It’s all about seeking equilibrium after a serious selloff like this.”

    “Where do we see investors with enough clout to drive the price back up?”

    “Based on previous price support and the influx of buyers this morning, $30,000 is the new floor for Bitcoin,” Keller said.

    Market Is ‘Oversold’

    The market may have overreacted in light of recent events and bitcoin’s losses since roughly mid-April, according to analysts.

    According to Mancini, Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI), a technical measure used to gauge an asset’s momentum, recently dropped to “the lowest level since March 2020,” meaning the digital currency is “highly oversold.”

    He also stated that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a momentum indicator used by technical analysts, is “at its lowest level in Bitcoin’s history, further suggesting Bitcoin is oversold.”

    “The market is due for a bounce,” according to Rooney, but “a fast turnaround in the short term is unlikely.”

    “A correction of this magnitude in the middle of a bull market seems out of place, but the absence of mania topping trends indicates the bull run is not over,” he said.

    “With new users joining the network, long-term fundamentals on-chain remain strong.”
