![]() ![]() John had been in discussions with various game developers asking how likely they would be to bring their MS-DOS games to Windows 95, and found the responses mostly negative programmers had found that the Windows environment did not provide the necessary features which were available under MS-DOS using BIOS routines or direct hardware access. An important factor in the value consumers would place on it was the programs that would be able to run on it. ![]() In late 1994, Microsoft was ready to release Windows 95, its next operating system. Starting with the release of Windows 8 Developer Preview, DirectX SDK has been integrated into Windows SDK. While the runtimes are proprietary, closed-source software, source code is provided for most of the SDK samples. Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 both shipped with DirectX, as has every version of Windows released since. Windows 95 did not launch with DirectX, but DirectX was included with Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2. Originally, the runtimes were only installed by games or explicitly by the user. ![]() The DirectX software development kit (SDK) consists of runtime libraries in redistributable binary form, along with accompanying documentation and headers for use in coding. As Direct3D is the most widely publicized component of DirectX, it is common to see the names "DirectX" and "Direct3D" used interchangeably. Direct3D is also used by other software applications for visualization and graphics tasks such as CAD/CAM engineering. The X initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), while the DirectX pattern has been continued for Windows APIs such as Direct2D and DirectWrite.ĭirect3D (the 3D graphics API within DirectX) is widely used in the development of video games for Microsoft Windows and the Xbox line of consoles. When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology. The name DirectX was coined as a shorthand term for all of these APIs (the X standing in for the particular API names) and soon became the name of the collection. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with "Direct", such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms.

And it helped-he was instantly more productive, at least when the timer was running.Īfter a bit of tweaking, testing, and refining, Cirillo settled on 25 minutes of work followed by a five-minute break, repeated four times, as the best balance for him. Cirillo started by setting it for 10 minutes and trying to just work for the 10 minutes until the timer rang. Inspiration came from a small tomato-shaped kitchen timer. He kept getting distracted and losing focus (and he didn't even have Instagram or TikTok), so he went looking for a way to keep his mind on track. Even I can keep typing that long.įrancesco Cirillo developed the Pomodoro Technique in the 1980s when he was in college in Italy and struggling to study. I'm just seven minutes into my current work block, but I know I only have to wait 18 more minutes until my next cup of coffee. That's long enough that you can stay engaged and make real progress, without feeling like it's a grind, while the 5-minute breaks, which never feel far off, give you a chance to freely check Twitter or look at some emails without overly disrupting your workflow. The work blocks are just 25 minutes long. What makes the Pomodoro Technique so effective is just how easy it is to implement. I'm using it right now to write this article. As a professional writer, it's the tool I bust out whenever I need to hit a deadline or just get work done without dawdling. While it didn't single-handedly get me through my college degrees, it helped me get better grades with less effort. I've used the Pomodoro Technique (or variations on it that we'll look at later) for more than a decade. After that, you take a 15- to 30-minute break, depending on how you feel. Here's what you do: You set a timer for 25 minutes, work until it's up, then take a 5-minute break-and repeat the whole process three more times. The Pomodoro Technique sounds unbelievably basic, but it works far better than you'd think.

While any timer (or timer app) will work for the Pomodoro Technique, a dedicated Pomodoro app can make the already simple technique even simpler by automatically alternating between work and break periods, tracking how many different periods you've completed, and generally just smoothing out the hassle of winding up a manual timer or constantly checking the clock. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Highlights include Dumbo accidentally getting drunk and experiencing the surreal musical sequence "Pink Elephants on Parade" and a soundtrack packed with such priceless songs as the Oscar-winning "Baby Mine" and the crow's soulful number, "When I see an Elephant Fly." There's nary an imperfect moment to be found in this raucous, tender, sublime film, which has been delighting audiences for generations. Dumbo is left without a friend in the world until the street-smart Timothy Mouse decides to become his manager and a telephone line full of delightful jive-talking crows convince him he can fly. ![]() When his mother goes on a rampage in order to protect him from some snickering rubes, she winds up locked away. Sure, some of the classics like Dumbo or Pinocchio had recently been ported over to a new VHS production in the late ’90s, or some, like the previously mentioned The Little Mermaid had actually.

The problem with this is that the generated code remains valid until it is used. It is therefore very difficult for criminals to obtain the second factor, as even if they know the static password, it's very hard for them to obtain the TOTP too, especially as they have barely any time to crack it.įor the second part of the function, HOTP uses a counter, and this is shared by the server and the user. Once the one-time password has been used, or if it has not been used after a specified time, it expires. The user receives the second password via an app or a special hardware token. One-time passwords are mostly used as part of multi-factor authentication, a security system which requires users signing into a web service to first enter their personal, static password, and then a time-limited password generated especially for this sign-in. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) published the one-time password algorithm in 2011 in RFC 6238 to facilitate greater online security. ![]() The solution is a TOTP: a password which is only valid for a brief time, after which it expires. One solution would be to change passwords regularly, but even the most exemplary users do not do this every hour. Let’s take a look at how that works.Ĭonventional passwords – however strong the user makes them – have a disadvantage: if somebody else knows the character string, security is no longer guaranteed. The common point between most of these additional factors is that they are unique and valid only for a short time – in other words, a time-based one-time password is generated. Users of this technology obtain this additional authentication factor via their smartphone or a special hardware device (called a “token”). Instead of using just a password, at least one other means of authentication is required. One way of minimizing the risk is to use two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication. If such services do not properly secure passwords, the data of thousands of users can be at risk. In addition, weaknesses in the services which users subscribe to are no small matter either. Other people create good passwords, but fail to store them safely, thus leaving a door open to criminals. However, many users are not sufficiently diligent about online security: professionals can crack simple passwords in a matter of seconds. Passwords prevent third parties from accessing sensitive data. Internet users regularly have to enter passwords – for example, when signing into social media platforms, shopping online, or using internet banking. ![]() ![]() ![]() Setting up Google Authenticator is a straightforward process that involves installing the app on your device and then configuring it for your accounts. Now that you have a better understanding of what Google Authenticator is and how it can enhance the security of your online accounts, let’s dive into the process of setting it up on your device. This means that you can protect your email, social media, online banking, and other accounts using a single authentication app, streamlining the security process. Google Authenticator supports multiple accounts, allowing you to secure several online profiles within a single app. This significantly reduces the chances of unauthorized access to your accounts. This means that even if someone gets hold of your password, they would still need physical access to your device to generate the correct code. Unlike traditional authentication methods that rely solely on passwords, Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security by requiring a device-specific verification code. This one-time code is generated by the Google Authenticator app and is unique to your account and device. Once you enable it for your account, whether it’s for your email, social media, or other online platforms, you will be prompted to enter a six-digit verification code in addition to your regular password. The way Google Authenticator works is relatively simple. By utilizing this app, you can significantly enhance the security of your sensitive data and protect yourself against potential cyber attacks. These codes are time-based and change frequently, typically every 30 seconds. With Google Authenticator, you can generate unique verification codes that are required for accessing your accounts. ![]() It utilizes two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification, to add an extra step to the login process. If a time delay is required, a VerificationWindow object can be provided that describes the acceptable range of values to check.Google Authenticator is a free mobile app that provides an additional layer of security to your online accounts. Simply omitting the optional parameter will cause this default behavior. The default is that no delay will be accepted and the code must match the current code in order to be considered a match. The actual step where the match was found will be reported in the aforementioned output parameter. This parameter allows you to define the window of steps that are considered acceptable. The VerifyTotp method takes an optional VerificationWindow parameter. The exact text in the RFC is "We RECOMMEND that at most one time step is allowed as the network delay." RFC 6238 Section 5.2 defines the recommended conditions for accepting a TOTP validation code. This library will only go so far as to determine that there was a valid code provided given the current time and the key, not that it was truly used one time as this library has no persistence. It is up to the consumer of this library to ensure that only one match for a given time step window is actually accepted. The output parameter reports the specific time window where the match occured for persistance comparison in future verification attempts. ![]() RFC 6238 Section 5.2 states that a code must only be accepted once. This is provided so that the caller of the function can persist/check that the code has only been validated once. There is an output long called timeWindowUsed. If the overload that doesn't take a timestamp is called, DateTime.UtcNow will be used as the comperand. Public bool VerifyTotp ( string totp, out long timeWindowUsed, VerificationWindow window = null ) public bool VerifyTotp ( DateTime timestamp, string totp, out long timeWindowUsed, VerificationWindow window = null ) ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Force a call to the Paint event handler.

It is the largest town on Milos, and enjoys a privileged location in a big, sheltered bay. If you are travelling to Milos by ferry, Adamas is the first place you will see, as this is where ferries arrive from Piraeus port in Athens and other nearby islands. Here are a few suggestions for rooms and apartments in Adamas Town, the main Milos port. ![]() This way, you will be able to get the rooms you want on the dates you want them for. With that said, if you are planning your Greek vacation for the peak months of July and August, it’s best to book your rooms early in the year. Therefore, there is little point in doing your online research as early as, for example, December. Here is a tip on booking hotels in Milos and other Greek islands: Many hotel owners don’t list their rooms on reservation sites until mid-spring, and often take them off completely out of season.
