Create Bootable USB Drive

   Step 1: Create Bootable USB Drive
  1. Start PowerISO (v6.5 or newer version, download here).
  2. Insert the USB drive you intend to boot from.
  3. Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using Windows Vista or above operating system, you need confirm the UAC dialog to continue.


  4. In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click "..." button to open the iso file of Windows operating system.
  5. Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if multiple USB drives are connected to the computer.
  6. Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended.
  7. Click "Start" button to start creating bootable USB drive.
  8. PowerISO will alert you that all data on USB drive will be destroyed. Click "OK" to continue.


    The program will start writing USB drive, and showing the progress information. You should get the message "Writing USB drive completed successfully." after the operation completes.


If no errors occurred in the above process, you should now be all set to setup Windows from USB drive!

Step 2: Configuring the BIOS
You should now reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to boot from USB. Instructions for doing so wildly from system to system, but generally entail the following:
  1. Reboot the system.
  2. While booting (before Windows starts loading), get into the BIOS configuration screen by hitting something like F1, F2, Delete or Escape. Hotkey instructions are generally provided on the screen.
  3. Go to the section that contains your boot devices.
  4. With your USB drive plugged in, the USB drive should be listed. If it isn’t, your system might not support booting from USB. Assuming that it is supported (as is the case with virtually all modern hardware), promote your USB drive to the primary boot device.
  5. Exit from the BIOS configuration, saving all changes.
Please notice that you can seriously screw up your system by providing incorrect BIOS settings!

Step 3: Booting and setup windows from USB drive
Assuming that you properly configured your BIOS and your USB drive supports booting,  Windows setup should now load. Depending on the speed of your USB drive, this may take a while.
If it isn’t working, then double-check the following before making a scene:
  • Is your BIOS properly configured for booting from the USB device? (Is the USB device listed and does it have top priority?)
  • Have you correctly prepared the USB drive in step one? (Restart the procedure.)
  • Does your USB drive properly support being booted from? (Try another one!)

Momo suicide game

Microsoft clamps down on sick 'Momo suicide game' in 'Minecraft' Microsoft is clamping down on the sick “Momo suicide challenge,” which recently infiltrated the wildly popular online game “Minecraft.”The tech giant owns “Minecraft” developer Mojang. The vile “Momo suicide game” has been garnering attention after spreading on WhatsApp, prompting police warnings. "Momo" is a viral challenge that asks people to add a contact via WhatsApp - they are then   urged   to commit self-harm or suicide. The "game" has fueled comparisons to the sinister " Blue Whale challenge " that led to reports of suicides in Russia and the U.S, as well as the online fictional character of "Slender Man." In 2014 two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin  attempted to kill   a classmate in an attempt to please the horror character. The Buenos Aires Times recently  reported  that police in Argentina are investigating whether “Momo” is linked to the suicide of a 12-y...

Spring Security with JWT for REST API

Spring is considered a trusted framework in the Java ecosystem and is widely used. It’s no longer valid to refer to Spring as a framework, as it’s more of an umbrella term that covers various frameworks. One of these frameworks is Spring Security , which is a powerful and customizable authentication and authorization framework. It is considered the de facto standard for securing Spring-based applications. Despite its popularity, I must admit that when it comes to single-page applications , it’s not simple and straightforward to configure. I suspect the reason is that it started more as an MVC application -oriented framework, where webpage rendering happens on the server-side and communication is session-based. If the back end is based on Java and Spring, it makes sense to use Spring Security for authentication/authorization and configure it for stateless communication. While there are a lot of articles explaining how this is done, for me, it was still frustrating to set it up for the f...

The Java 8 Stream API

1 Overview In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll go through the practical uses of Java 8 Streams from creation to parallel execution. To understand this material, readers need to have a basic knowledge of Java 8 (lambda expressions,   Optional,  method references) and of the Stream API. 2 Stream Creation There are many ways to create a stream instance of different sources. Once created, the instance  will not modify its source,  therefore allowing the creation of multiple instances from a single source. Empty Stream We should use the  empty()  method in case of the creation of an empty stream: Stream<String> streamEmpty = Stream.empty(); We often use the  empty()  method upon creation to avoid returning  null  for streams with no element: public Stream<String> streamOf (List<String> list) { return list == null || list.isEmpty() ? Stream.empty() : list.stream(); } 2.2. Stream of  Collection We can also creat...
