What is a File Format?
Have you ever tried to open a file that can’t be opened because your computer couldn’t identify what type of program is needed to open it? I do. “Computer so stupid la, cannot open this.” said my little self. Apperently, it’s not computer fault since my knowledge isn’t that big back then (until now). But, it is related to file format. File can be opened depends on how we decide to open (read) it. Through this video, I get to learn the concept behind it. It might confusing, but this video also provide unique analogy that I think it’s worth to check out.
What are Drive Partitions?
This YouTube video explains what is drive partitioning and how does it works. Basically, partition helps the allocation of our stored data by seperating our physical hard drive into some volumes. From keeping our data safe from OS failure, to improving hard drive’s performance by its short-stroking technology, it seems that drive partition is a must! Well, not really. Turns out there’s also disadvantages, which makes this video worth to check out.
Linux File System/Structure Explained!
Do you know where Linux system located? Have you ever wondered ~~your life decision~~ where are your files installed in Linux? Do you find Linux confusing? Well fear not, because this YouTube video explains it! This is a very good and useful video about Linux file system and structure. It pretty much covered essential things about it.

Progress bars, I’ve seen those mostly in computer-related things. One ocassion for instance is when I’m trying to copy-paste some files to another drive, which then gives me a progress bar on a window, telling me how much time left does it takes to copy. For me, sometimes the bar is telling the truth, sometimes it don’t. Besides, the bar didn’t move smoothly, making me unsure if the file copied successfully. Why does it can’t, I wonder?

The topic is relevant and I really like how Professor explains how compression works with examples, which helps my understanding.
