The specifications of the Redmi Note 6 Pro come as no surprise to anyone. What continues to surprise us is that so little has changed from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, while the rest of the market continues to adapt and even inch ahead of Xiaomi in a category where the Redmi Note lineup was the leader. When compared to the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is just a minor upgrade. Perhaps a more accurate name for this device would have been “Redmi Note 5.1 Pro,” because it’s practically the same phone with a notched display and a better camera setup.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

Realme U1 with MediaTek Helio P70 launched in India for ₹11,999
