Technoverse Markdown Editor is Now Live!

Image
Markdown Logo Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini ! A few years ago, when I was in the college, I don't even know what Markdown was. It wasn't a programming language, and learning it had no effect on my GPA. Skip to graduation and entering the professional world, I began knowing bit by bit about this simple markup language, especially when I was trained to use GitHub. Instantly, I felt that Markdown is the right language for me, who writes a lot, and asked myself why I hadn't learned it earlier. Compared to your traditional word processing techniques, Markdown offers unparalleled simplicity and speed. For example, you just need to add asterisks (*) to make the text either italic, bold, or both. To create headings, just use hashtags (#). The more hashtags you use, the lower the header rank is. Creating lists are also much simpler. The all-new Technoverse Markdown Editor. With the new blossoming love for the language, I decided ...

Non-CPO Refurbished iPhone: An Account

Image
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Official Shots Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini ! Refurbished iPhones are neither new nor unsafe. Apple has long been known to sell refurbished products: broken products which were taken back to Apple, then restored to working conditions. Its cheaper price and one year warranty from Apple makes it more popular for budget-conscious customers. These official refurbished products are known as Apple Certified Pre-Owned (or CPO for short). Those products are obviously safe, but what if you decide to buy a non-CPO iPhone? Call me crazy, but I just bought one. I've been using Android ever since the original Galaxy S, so you should know how entrenched I am in the Android world. I've also been using iPad since iPad2, and I like it. That's why I thought of trying out the phenomenal device. However, before going for the latest and greatest (it's less than 6 months until September, so buying the iPhone7 now isn...

Fixing Disabled Search Bar In Windows 10

Image
Windows 10, albeit great, has its flaws Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini ! Let's face it. Even though Windows 10 is great, it obviously is not bug-free, even after a couple of major updates. Personally, I found two bugs that annoy me the most: missing text and disabled search bar. I solved the missing text problem here . This article is intended to solve the latter. Windows 10 Universal Search in action. One of the key features in Windows 10 is its universal search. Coupled with the right hardware (SSD drives), it can be a powerful tool to finding your files/app/configuration in a snap. That's why losing this means losing the essence of using Windows 10. Anyway, after spending quite a while finding out the fix, it turns out that it is not that difficult. Let's head after the break to find out.

Huawei E5577C Mi-Fi Review: Compatibility over Battery

Image
Huawei E5577C Official Shot Anda berbicara Bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini ! Well, it's been a while since my last article. I scored myself a new job (yay!), and I had to focus my attention on it, leaving no time to attain to my own blog(s), let alone write a new article. But yeah, I finally got both time and idea to come up with a new article. Anyway, enough with the excuses. Meet Huawei E5577C. I wanted to switch from the M3Z because of multi-carrier compatibility and that little square screen. I still had that device, though stored in the drawer because I've been using the Huawei more. So, let's just get to the point: with a much more expensive cost compared to Smartfren's (almost twice), does the Huawei Mi-Fi stack up with its compatibility and screen? Let's find out after the break! BEFORE YOU BUY: I bought this Mi-Fi bundled with XL Axiata's XL GO. Normally, it should be locked. However, I bought it from a third-party store...

Missing Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10? Here's a Solution!

Image
I really love the Windows Photo Viewer. Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini ! Windows 10 totally revamps the Windows UI which has been known as "ancient" and "complicated". Learning from their mistakes in Windows 8, Windows 10's interface is now optimized for both desktops and tablets. Even so, it seems like Microsoft retains their decision in replacing the old default apps with their new "modern" apps. For example, Photos now replaces the old Windows Photo Viewer. There's also Music, which replaces Windows Media Player, etc. Windows Photo Viewer (left) vs Photos (right). Which one do you prefer? To be honest, I don't really like the new "modern" apps because of their "overly simple" and "confusing" interface. Moreover, the options provided in the modern apps are not as powerful as their "ancient" counterpart. For example, the print menu in Photos. The options...

Xiaomi Bootloaders: How to Unlock and Lock

Image
Not a long moment ago, Xiaomi decided to lock their bootloader. Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahannya di sini . During their early years, Xiaomi was a developer-friendly manufacturer. It was terribly easy to flash a new ROM. Just boot into fastboot and use MiFlash to flash a new ROM. Rooting wasn't difficult too, even though I rarely root my device. Recently, however, starting from the days of their 3rd generation Redmi phone (Redmi Note 3, Redmi 3), Xiaomi decided to lock their bootloader , making it one step more difficult to flash a new ROM. Xiaomi stated that the decision was to comply with Google's Android guideline. I personally think that it is probably to prevent sleazy importers from flashing unofficial ROMs to their devices. Unsurprisingly, this decision, of course, enraged most of the community. Some threatened to never buy Xiaomi devices again (good luck finding another great value-for-money brand), some just grumbled like usual. Howeve...

Finally, A Redesign!

Image
Like My New Look? Huzzah! Finally, Blogger has received three new themes. All of them have finally adopted the current design trend: flat and colorful. After I thought that Blogger was dead, I'm glad that I was wrong. Well, I thought so because its official app was last updated in February 2016. Even so, the interface is so outdated it looks like an app from the early days of Android. Well, anyway, even though there are new themes, I'm sad to say that I only like one of them, and it's Contempo, the one that you're looking at right now. At least now it looks more modern. Anyway, the theme is same: green. During the redesign process, I might make a few changes here and there, so please bear with me. Well, I guess that's all for now. There's a new article coming on the weekend. Stay tuned!
