TechTalk: How To Vertically Snap Windows on a Portrait PC Monitor

 First appeared at  Medium.com Introducing FancyZones, customizable window panes It’s the little things in life that bring a smile to your face. I’ve been window snapping left and right to increase my productivity for as long as I can remember. My dual 29" monitors were always nice and evenly divided; rearranging them was a snap — pun intended.

When a wireless client connects to an AP it completes a 4-Way handshake, this generates the encryption keys used to encrypt wireless traffic. For the 4-way handshake to work it is a requirement that both the client and AP know the passphrase, however the passphrase is never transmitted over the air thereby making this exchange reasonably secure. But what happens when a 3rd party already knows the passphrase? It means they just need to capture the 4-way handshake to gener...
