										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Artificial Intelligence, often abbreviated as AI, refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses a wide range of technologies and techniques that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, learning from experience, and making decisions.</p>



<p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include things like understanding natural language, recognizing patterns in data, learning from experience, and making decisions. AI techniques include machine learning, where algorithms learn from data and improve over time, and deep learning, which involves artificial neural networks inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.</p>



<p>AI is a rapidly evolving field with profound implications for various industries and aspects of society, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment. In short, AI is all about creating computer systems that can think, learn, and act like humans, or even better!</p>



<p><strong>How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Works ?</strong><br />AI works through a combination of data, algorithms, and computational power. AI works by processing vast amounts of data using algorithms to identify patterns, make decisions, and perform tasks. Here&#8217;s a simplified overview of how it typically works:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Data Collection: AI systems rely on vast amounts of data to learn and make decisions. This data can come from various sources, such as text, images, videos, sensor readings, and more.</li>



<li>Data Preprocessing: Before feeding the data into AI algorithms, it often needs to be cleaned, normalized, and structured to remove noise and inconsistencies and make it suitable for analysis.</li>



<li>Algorithms: AI algorithms are the core components that process the data and extract patterns, relationships, and insights. Different algorithms are used for different types of tasks, such as classification, regression, clustering, and reinforcement learning.</li>



<li>Training: In supervised learning, the AI system is trained on labelled data, where the correct answers are provided. During training, the algorithm adjusts its internal parameters to minimize the difference between its predictions and the correct answers.</li>



<li>Evaluation: After training, the AI system is evaluated on a separate set of data to assess its performance and accuracy. This step helps determine if the model generalizes well to new, unseen data.</li>



<li>Deployment: Once the AI model has been trained and evaluated, it can be deployed to perform specific tasks in real-world applications. This could involve integrating it into software systems, devices, or platforms.</li>



<li>Feedback Loop: AI systems often operate in a feedback loop where they continuously learn and improve over time. They receive new data, make predictions or decisions, receive feedback on their performance, and adjust their behaviour accordingly.</li>

					<description><![CDATA[If you are adding a brand new hard disk to your computer, the system may ask to initialize the disk. &#8230; ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If you are adding a brand new hard disk to your computer, the system may ask to initialize the disk. To initialize the disc you have to select the disk and the partition style that you want. There you can find two styles of partition MBR and GPT. What are MBR and GPT? What is the difference between MBR and GPT? Which is the better choice for your computer and Why? If you know the answer you can select the partition style to proceed. If you haven&#8217;t any idea about MBR and GPT, then this article is for you. </p>



<p><strong><em>What is the difference between MBR and GPT?</em></strong><br />If you add a brand new disk to your computer it doesn&#8217;t display in the File Explorer. You need to ass a drive letter or initialize the disk before using it. Initializing a disk will erase all contents on it and enables it to use on your Windows computer after formatting the disk. The hard disk can be divided into multiple chunks called partitions. Each partition has a partition style to understand how to access the data on the disk. The MBR is the short form of Master Boot Record and GPT is the short form of the GUID partition table. The Master Boot Record (MBR) style is used by 32-bit computers and removable drives. The new GUID partition table (GPT) is more robust that allows bigger volumes greater than 2TB. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/04/initialize_disk.png" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>MBR disks use the standard BIOS partition table. GPT disks use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). In GPT disks you can have more than four partitions on each disk.  If you are using a hard disk with a capacity bigger than 2TB, you should choose the GUID partition table (GPT). Before selecting the GPT, remember if your computer&#8217;s motherboard supports UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware), then you can choose GPT. Before storing the data the partition should be formatted to NTFS or FAT files system.</p>



<p>MBR has initially introduced with the PC DOS 2.0 operating system in 1983. GPT was developed in the late 1990s. Compared with MBR, GPT is a new partitioning scheme, gradually replacing MBR. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/04/disk_management.png" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p><em><strong>How to initialize the new disk</strong></em><br />You can initialize a new disk using Windows Disk management. Open the Disk management by typing <em>Disk Management</em> in the Windows search box. <em><strong>Create and format hard disk partitions</strong></em> appears, click on it to open it. In Disk Management, right-click the disk that you want to initialize and click Initialize Disk.  In the Initialize Disk box, ensure that the correct disk is selected. Check the <em>selected disk</em> and the <em>partition style</em>. Then click OK to accept the default partition style. To add a new volume, right-click the unallocated space on the drive and select <strong><em>New simple volume</em></strong>. Select <em><strong>Next</strong></em> and specify the size of the volume and again click Next. Specify the <em>drive letter</em> that you want to assign to your new disk and click <strong><em>Next</em></strong>. Select the file system (NTFS) that you want to use, click <em><strong>Next</strong></em> and then click <em><strong>Finish</strong></em>. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The word <em>Internet of Things</em> or <em>IoT </em>gaining momentum in recent years. In layman terms, IoT refers to a number of physical devices that are connected to the internet to collect and share data. It is a system of interrelates computing device with a unique identifier (UID) that can transfer data over a network without human interaction. IoT spread its wings to devices that are used in home automation, wearable technology, connected health, and remote monitoring systems. </p>



<p>Now we are familiar with home automation techniques that can control lighting, heating, air conditioning, and security systems. It&#8217;s the way of connecting different objects with sensors that can communicate real-time data without human intervention. The concept of the internet of things started in 1982, a modified Coca-Cola vending machine at Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first internet-connected appliance, this device could report the newly loaded drinks were cold or not. Kevin Ashton coined the phrase <em>Internet of Things</em> in 1999.</p>



<p><strong><em>Why IoT is important?</em></strong><br />The scope of the internet of things is huge. If a manufacturer adds some sensors on their products that can transmit data back about how they are performing, the manufactures can monitor the efficiency of their products. The devices with built-in sensors are connected to an IoT platform that can collect and analyze data to share valuable information from the device. <br /><br />With the Internet of Things, we can connect everyday objects like Kitchen appliances, house monitors, thermostats to the internet through embedded systems to make seamless connections between the devices and process. The IoT wearable products help us to understand our own health and the physicians can remotely monitor their patients. In the automotive sector, the vehicles with sensors can monitor equipment failures on the road and can alert the driver about the details. The temperature, light, motion, moisture, air quality sensors in a home can automatically collect information from the environment and can make more intelligent decisions. IoT can use in elder care, the sensors can monitor medical emergencies in case of falls or seizures. IoT can use in transportation systems for smart traffic control, smart parking, logistics, electronic toll collection, vehicle control, fleet management, and road assistance. In agriculture collecting data on humidity, temperature, wind speed, soil content, and a pest infestation can be used to automate farming. The environment monitoring tools can monitor air, water quality and can measure atmospheric or soil conditions. IoT can monitor energy-consuming devices and can optimize energy conception by controlling the device. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/03/door_iot.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption><em>You can control your home through your smartphone, tablet, or computer by your voice.</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The major trend of IoT is the growth in devices that can be connected and controlled by the internet. There are a number of devices already in the market that can connect and work through the internet. <em>Google Home Controller</em> is an IoT device, alarms, lights, thermostats, volume control, media, and other functions can be controlled by your voice. <em>Amazon echo plus voice controller</em> is capable of play songs, do phone calls, set alarms, and timers, ask questions, check the weather, and can manage household instruments through users&#8217; voices. There are a number of air quality monitors available like <em>Foobot</em>, that can measure indoor pollution.  The IoT connected smoke alarms can alerts you on your mobile phone about any emergencies in your home. The IoT enabled lighting systems like Philips Hue, can control the light condition and can turn off all your lights with one tap. The smart lock like August smart lock can control your home door right from your phone from anywhere. It can track activity, so you can track who is coming and going at your doorstep. </p>
