每周一次，我们都会在小费盒中分享我们在那里发现的一些宝石。本周我们将讨论如何使用个人算法轻松生成安全密码，升级Windows中的字体渲染，以及如何更有效地管理Android卷。

使用个人算法生成安全密码

帕特写了以下关于使用个人算法生成安全但易于记忆的密码的提示：

For ages I have watched people go on and on about how to remember passwords and how they go about it. While some right them down… others use programs or spread sheets… while others use top secret methods they never disclose. For myself, I have always used a very simple method that I invented for myself. It allows me to have a different password for every site and I have never forgotten (or written down) any of them. I call it the PATS method (passwords are that simple). Here is how it works but you can modify it to your own personal style.

First, I have a standard password that I have used since the beginning of time and for this example we will say it is my first name and my street address combined. My first name is Pat and my street address is 3245. Putting these together, I get pat3245 for my base password. Now when I go to a site that requires a password I combine my “BASE” password with something from that site. Lets say I do a password for https://www.tl80.cn. I combine my base password with the three letters from the URL of the site, in this case “how to geek” becomes “htg” and I add this to my base for the new password. Now taking the htg and combining it with my base gives me htgpat3245.

But I can also move things around for several different variati*** on this as the following will show. I can put the htg from “how to geek” in the middle of my base password to form pathtg3245 or put it at the end of my base password to form pat3216htg. Doing this allows me to have a password for each site that is different. If I go to www.discovercard.com, I can use dc (discovercard) plus my base (pat3245) and form the password dcpat3245 or patdc3245 or pat3245dc. You can devise your own scheme and I do have my own scheme that I cannot divulge but you get the idea.

I have been using this method for ages and it has never failed me. I have a different password for all my credit cards and banking. Now if someone should get into my discover card and try to use that same password for my banking, they would quickly be disappointed. While my exact method isn’t as simple as this, most people can use this as a model and add their own twist to it. I call this method the “PATS” method which stands for Passwords Are That Simple.”

一个有首字母缩写的可靠提示？一场胜利。谢谢你用帕特写的！您的方法是一个非常安全的中间点，在使用一些相同的密码和全通之间，并有LastPass或KeePass为每个站点生成完全随机字符串。

Install an Alternative Windows Font Renderer

Cláudio写了以下提示：

I’ve been looking around for a reliable substitute to gdi++ for a while. [Editor’s note: gdi++ was an alternative Windows Font rasterizer/rendering tool that has since ceased development] Yesterday I finally came across a good replacement, gdipp. It is an advanced font renderer that surpasses Microsoft ClearType in terms of a more Mac-like font render for the system and its applicati***. Works amazingly well and may be worth trying. Cheers!

谢谢你的举报！我们想知道gdi++项目的结果如何；很高兴看到有人接管了设计并继续了Watson博士的工作。

对于那些不确定是否想和gdipp混在一起的读者，请查看上面的屏幕截图。从本质上讲，gdipp取代了Windows中的默认字体呈现引擎，并以类似于osx和许多Linux发行版中的方式呈现字体。当使用gdipp时，您应该注意到字体看起来比默认Windows渲染器下的字体更平滑、更强大、渲染效果更好（在上面的屏幕截图中，顶行显示Windows ClearType，底行显示gdipp）。你可以在这里读更多。

audiomananger micro管理您的android音频

Tony写了以下管理Android音频的技巧：

After being embarrassed by the loud audio on my Android phone one too many times (loud game music in the library, starting alarm alerts at the wrong time, etc.) I finally did something about it and installed AudioManager. You can manage the audio on your phone and create custom profilers: I’ve made profiles for the library, for class, for home, for sleeping, and more. Now I don’t have to wonder if I’ve set all my settings correctly for class or turned my ringer up when I’m at home. It’s awesome. I can’t believe this wasn’t the first app I downloaded when I got a Droid.

坦白说，我们也不敢相信这不是我们下载的第一个应用程序。在你的举报之后，我们把它当作一个旋转，并喜欢它。如果你正在寻找一个简单的方法来创建个人资料，这是一个很难击败的应用程序。谢谢托尼！
