If It Ain't Broke, Break It; Then Fix It

 PowerShell is seriously for Everyone I'll be honest with you all, I know enough PowerShell to get out of trouble. On the other hand, writing these blogs have really gotten me excited about how useful PowerShell can be. I have even installed PowerShell onto my Linux machine. Yes! you heard that right, PowerShell runs on more than just Windows. In fact, Microsoft has articles on how to install PowerShell on Linux and Mac OS.  The Power... in Powershell I have learned that the most beautiful part about Powershell is its structure. PowerShell is comprised of commands called command-let(s), and every command-let follows the same structure Verb - Noun. This makes it easier for people to remember or even guess at a new command-let. The other winning attribute of PowerShell is that it is built around objects.  Object-oriented languages are really cool in that coding because focused on targets of interest, and each target has attributes that make it similar to another object of t...

I could try to take credit for this one,  but honestly, I just watched someone else's hack. In fact, the video that I watched is no longer up, but here is one that shows the exact same steps.  Why am I making this post? because I love my open-source and free software like Virtualbox. It breaks my heart when new an OS has a build that Virtualbox cannot work through. Windows 11 falls into this category because increased security hardware checks have made it almost impossible for Virtualbox to pass the checks. The only option we have is to modify the registry during installation.  If you are not familiar with setting up a virtual machine in Virtualbox please visit my post here . Once you have configured the VM settings to your liking, start the VM. Allow the VM to progress normally. The installation will eventually break, presenting the following error.  Follow these after the error: 1) Press the keys Shift + F10 to bring up a cmd prompt 2) Type in "regedit" and press e...

 Have you ever wondered, "I really wish that I could share all of my great songs, pdfs, or movies with other computers in my home". Well, today is your lucky day! Today I will walk you through how to share a drive, and then mount it on another Windows machine.  What do you need for this exercise?  You will need two computers running the Windows operating system. These computers can be physical, virtual, or a combination of these two options. If you are not familiar with virtualizing a computer follow my post here .

You can find that special posting here .  Setting up the drive/folder to share Yes, the following steps are the same for either a folder or a drive on your machine. Now keep in mind that sharing from one computer to another one only works if the hosting computer is p...
