Finally, What To Do With Your Old Cell Phones!

When we think about the new generation of technology, are we considering whether these innovations are becoming more sustainable and Eco-friendly?

If you are anything like me, you are the sad owner of a cell phone graveyard. A drawer filled with the technology I no longer use; ancient iPods, my first flip phone, and years of cracked iPhones. I’m not proud of this drawer, but honestly, I just don’t know what to do with it! Fixing them feels impossible, throwing them away seems wrong, so what are we to do?

Sure, recycling cell phones is an option (don’t worry, we’ll help you with that later in the article), but is that really a long term solution?
Small electronics like cell phones are an enormous contributor to the waste stream and greenhouse gas emissions, yet we rarely hear about how these kinds of technologies are becoming more sustainable. We have greener cleaning products, more efficient cars, even recycled toilet paper, but so little of our time is spent thinking about the impact the technologies we use every day have on the planet.
Luckily, there are people who are aware of this problem and are finding innovative ways to change the way we use, think about, and recycle our technology.

IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGES OF SIWES

STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME (SIWES) The Industrial Training/Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme, IT/SIWES is a new Directorate under the Vice-Chancellor’s Office. It was established on 20th April, 2012 The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skills training programme designed to expose and prepare students of universities and other tertiary institutions for the Industrial Work situation they are likely to meet after graduation. It is also a planned and structured programme based on stated and specific career objectives which are geared towards developing the occupational competencies of participants (Mafe, 2009).

How to Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS/Administrator Password

Have you forgotten HP Elitebook 8460p password , bios or administrator account password? How to do if both of them lost? It seems hard though there may be lots of ways that can solve it. But if we talk about it separately, such as in two parts, HP elitebook password reset would be not so difficult. Part 1: Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS password Part 2: HP Elitebook 8460p Administrator password recovery Part 1: How to Reset Forgotten HP Elitebook BIOS Password? Generally, there are two ways to reset forgotten BIOS password . One is forcing BIOS/CMOS to reset itself to its stored defaults by removing all power from it. The other is to use a program to either locate or identify the password, and reveal it to you or erasing the password clearly. And the most easiest and convenient method for erasing dynamic BIOS/CMOS settings is to remove battery directly from the motherboard. However, it applies to most motherboards besides HP Elitebook BIOS. Fortunately, HP Eliteb

Ethical Hacking - TCP/IP Hijacking

TCP/IP Hijacking is when an authorized user gains access to a genuine network connection of another user. It is done in order to bypass the password authentication which is normally the start of a session. In theory, a TCP/IP connection is established as shown below − To hijack this connection, there are two possibilities − Find the seq which is a number that increases by 1, but there is no chance to predict it. The second possibility is to use the Man-in-the-Middle attack which, in simple words, is a type of network sniffing . For sniffing, we use tools like Wireshark or Ethercap . Example An attacker monitors the data transmission over a network and discovers the IP’s of two devices that participate in a connection. When the hacker discovers the IP of one of the users, he can put down the connection of the other user by DoS attack and then resume communication by spoofing the IP of the disconnected user. Shijack In practice, one of the best TCP/IP hijack too
