How To Hide Your Files

Got some "embarrassing" pictures on your laptop? Have a family-shared computer, but still want you privacy? Are you the kind of guy that does things not strictly legal? It's fine buddy, Uncle Jack understands. And I'm here to make sure no one ever finds what you've got stashed on your rig. In short, this method will combine a .rar file with an image file that is still fully viewable.

You'll need:
  • a decoy image file (it doesn't matter what it is) (for this, we'll call it "image.jpg")
  •  a .rar containing files to hide (we'll call it "secret.rar")
  •   command prompt (we'll call it "command prompt")
Steps:
  1. Put your decoy image (image.jpg) and the .rar file you want to hide (secret.rar) in the some folder. In this case, we'll use c:\
  2. Open up a command prompt (go to start>run, type cmd, and press enter)
  3. On the black screen type cd c:\ and hit enter (if using another folder, replace c:\ with the full path)
  4. Type: copy /b image.jpg + secret.rar new.jpg and hit enter (new.jpg is the output file with the hidden .rar file in it. you should type it in the same format as the decoy (.jpg). if it was a .png, you would use .png for both)
  5. Done! If you double click new.jpg, the image will show up like normal, but if you right click it and open it with winrar (or another .rar program), you can get to your hidden files.
Happy hiding!

How To Make a Paper Look Longer

We all want to do as much as we can, while working as little as possible. It's human nature. But what about those pesky papers? Those essays won't write themselves, and I sure don't want to do it. But I suck it up, and start typing. Of course, that doesn't mean I can't type smarter than everyone else and put no effort into it! And now, you can too, using these simple methods:

  • Increase you font size to 12.5. You'll have to manually go to the font size number, type 12.5, and hit enter.
  • Move your left and right margin in 1/8 of an inch.
  • Increase the font size of your punctuation to font size 14.
  • Change the spacing from 2 to 2.1 (or more, if you think you can get away with it)
  • Write out every word you can manage. (Write "I am" instead of "I'm")
It's simple stuff, but it works like a charm. As long as you don't get too cocky, no one will ever know. Except me, but we got each others' backs, right?

Don't Touch "system32!"

I'd like to start this blog with something most of us have come across, and at least half of you have somehow screwed up. You know who you are. I'm sure you have some grand excuse, like "Oh, I was just trying to speed up my computer!" or "Everyone said it was useless!", but please, for the love of God, DON'T TOUCH SYSTEM 32! Don't even look at it! If you so much as delete one thing, YOUR COMPUTER WILL DIE. If you really want to speed up your computer, clear some space, or get a good antivirus (Malwarebytes), but LEAVE SYSTEM 32 ALONE.
