HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN THIS SOCIETY

For the final edition of this blog series, I will talk about perhaps the most common aspect of the topic- our dear society. It’s not like none of us knows what goes on in the society, what happens behind the doors of houses, what happens in the gossip of people and what is said in the pointless taunts and remarks passed as a part of routine. Therefore, I will not waste words trying to explain what is wrong, neither will I mention how to right it. I will simply mention the efforts that are already underway because luckily once again, this is one of the aspects that has had some light shed on to it in recent years. Every other week we see stories, posts and campaigns on social media. A new harassment case, rape cases, and murder cases against women and trust me when I say that it’s the social media that brings all of these cases into light and tries to ensure justice for the victims. Our paper and TV media is controlled, they are forced to deliver a narrative in order to delude the publi...

HOW TO USE AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE WITH YOUR PS4 OR PS4 PRO


The PS4 has got an extensive library of more than 1500 games including, campaigns, multiplayers, physical copies and online games to play. Since the release of this commendable piece of gaming hardware, the new games appearing on the scene have been greater both in terms of quality and size. More often than not, the pre installed hard drive in the console is not enough to keep up with the demands if today's gamers and they often find their consoles running low on storage. There are two solutions to this problem, you can either replace the hard drive in your console with a new one or connect an external hard drive through a USB cable to the console. In this tutorial we will be taking about the latter and how you can expand the storage on your PS4 and enjoy gaming without having to worry about storage.

 Since the system software update 4.50 Sony has added the much requested feature to connect an external hard drive. It is quite simple to set up and and use an external HDD with your PS4 or PS4 pro console. Following are the minimum and recommended HDD specs required for this setup to work

  • Connection Speed: USB 3.0 or later
  • Storage: 250GB (Min) - 8TB (Max)
It is worth noting that compatibility with every USB storage device is not guaranteed and it is recommended that you look up your preferred HDD regarding compatibility with the PS4.

Formatting your external HDD

Most hard drives are already formatted from the manufacturer's side usually FAT32, NTFS or exFAT. The PS4 does not support all of these formats and you will have to format it through your console using the following steps to ensure that it works.

  • Navigate to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen.
  • Scroll down to and select the Devices menu.
  • Select USB Storage Devices
  • Select your externa HDD on the screen and choose Format as extended storage.
  • You will be shown some warnings telling you that formatting your HDD will remove any previous data present on it.
  • Make sure that you don't have any important data stored on your HDD before you press OK and continue.
  • Once the formatting is complete, you will be shown a message confirming that it has been successful and a small green light will be shown on the screen next to the name of your connected HDD telling you that it is being used as your main storage.
Your external HDD can now be used with the PS4 for storing apps and games. It is worth mentioning that once you complete all the steps mentioned above, you will only be able to use this particular hard drive for storing other types of media without re-formatting it.

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN AT WORKPLACE

I recently came across a government post on Facebook, under which there was a person who made a certain remark in the comments. The guy so boldly suggested that women should not be allowed to give the CSS exam since their area of expertise lies in the cleaning of houses and cooking of food and not in the running of the country. He added, “Their eligibility to take the exam steals the opportunity from qualified individuals like myself and puts it into their inexperienced hands”. I laughed it off since it was clear that this person was crying over his own incompetence and decided to throw the blame over the women. The sad part of this little event, however, was that there were lines of other sick likeminded men in the comments who were praising the guy for passing this statement. For a moment now, I want you to think of this scenario in a different way. The offender and the ones who praised him poured their minds out, but this time the women they targeted were behind the screen of a phon...

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN A HOUSEHOLD

It’s the year 2021 and all aspects of life have significantly progressed over time. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have even moved is the mentality of most of our men; men who believe we reside in an entirely safe state with no societal imperfections. I, for one, believe that not only is our nation flawed beyond description, but is also an unsafe place for our women. Anyone who is not deluded will believe that our mothers, sisters and female acquaintances cannot be trusted at the hands of this society. “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…” (Surah An-Nisa: 34) And yet all our so-called “Men of Religion” are on top of the list of people who believe in male dominance and those who claim the only way forward is a patriarchal society that oppresses women (or keeps them in their rightful place, as the deluded so proudly claim). Every single day we witness new cases of domestic violence against women, investigate and most of the time it turns out the offender is a male with a...
