Check if your computer is male or female

Check if your computer is male or female

One small and interesting trick you can use to check whether your computer is male or female.

All you have to do is an open notepad and copy the following script:

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"Am I male or female"

(I recommend copying it from THIS link)

Now save the file as a test.vbs

Note that it says .vbs at the end

Save to the desktop and run and you will hear a voice saying the specified text.

If you hear a male voice, you have a boy (i.e. a male computer)

If you hear a female voice, you have a girl (i.e. a female computer)

Have fun :)

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.
