  1. Identifying connector cable for accessing hard disk


    I have got a hard disk from a quite old Dell PC. I am having a hard time figuring out the cable which I can use to connect it to my laptop and access it. SATA cable won't be helpful here, the port isn't of that make. It has got two points, one connects with a 33/35 pin ribbon cable, other seems to be a USB portbut I could be wrong. I am attaching the image of the same. Kindly look and suggest the cable which could be of use.

    :)

  2. Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

  3. What is App Connector...?


    Right, you might not be a developer but at some point you might use a 3rd party UWP App.

    The UWP Skype App needs access to your camera and your microphone ... while not a 3rd party App, Skype might not have access to those without App Connector - not sure, just an example.

    The Google App (Ok Google) needs to access your microphone.

    Instead of everyone writing their own access, getting permissions, etc, their Apps ask the App Connector to service their requests.

    This approach is nothing new to Android users, when an Android App gets installed, it lists the permissions it requires. You either accept them or cancel the install. Most people accept and install the App. MS might be trying to get past that one install step by granting the permissions to the App Connector. The permissions are listed on the App page in the Store - nothing nefarious, just eliminating a step.

    Keep in mind - this is all conjecture on my part - no hard evidence did I find *Wink
