Tradefair report

Hi dear readers! This will be my last blog post and it's about my team's prototype and the trade fair. Our team was great and we worked well together. Our prototype was an app that could send notifications if your favorite food was available in some campus restaurants. You could add your favorite foods or ingredients to the app and you could also add ingredients you are allergic to.  We planned the fair trade preparation and work so that another of my teammate would do the pitch itself and the rest could do the prototype presentation. It was really fun to experience thinking and writing the pitch. The trade fair day went well me and my teammate went looking at the other prototypes first and that was interesting. Then it was our turn to do the pitch and present our prototype and people liked it very much. Our pitch was perfect as it could be and people were impressed with our prototype it was almost an app and you could interact with it with a phone we had. We got a lot of very ...
  chapter review: Information leaks Welcome to my chapter review my good readers! I will be reviewing a chapter from a book called: Web Security Basics for Developers: Real Threats, Practical Defense (2020) by Malcolm McDonald.

             Basic guide to emulation Hello, again my dear readers. Today I have an interesting blog topic: emulation and I am going to make a guide on how to set up your emulator ready for your games. So why emulate games? Emulation is all about preserving games and playing games that you don't have the console anymore. I have heard this rumor many times but no, emulation itself is not illegal, but emulation makes it easier to play pirated games because to emulate a game you need a file that has the game you want to play in it a ROM file (Read-Only Memory Image) these ROM files contain an exact copy of the game from the original gaming cartridge. You can find ROM files on the internet and download them without paying for them and that is the illegal part of emulating. I highly discourage it because 1. it is illegal and 2. if you do not know what you are doing, you can accidentally download a virus, so legally speaking: buy your games. Let'...
