Invalid pb parameter solution while embedding google maps
Original Issue: When trying to embed a Google Maps location for "Hotel Yak & Yeti" using an iframe, the "pb" parameter in the embedded URL caused an error. The special character "&" in the hotel name was likely the cause of the issue.
Solution: To resolve the problem, I removed the special characters from the hotel name, resulting in "Hotel Yak Yeti." Then, I edited the "pb" parameter in the URL accordingly. This adjustment ensures that the URL is properly encoded and validated.
Original Google Embedded URL:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d14128.750188412732!2d85.3197981!3d27.7114951!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x39eb19042204f6a1%3A0xa7af95e7f7d75e66!2sHotel%20Yak%20%26%20Yeti!5e0!3m2!1sen!2snp!4v1690259560583!5m2!1sen!2snp" width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>

Updated Embed URL:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3532.187395792953!2d85.31518467397605!3d27.711499772684373!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x39eb19042204f6a1%3A0xa7af95e7f7d75e66!2sHotel%20Yak%20Yeti!5e0!3m2!1sen!2snp!4v1689753786090!5m2!1sen!2snp" width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>

When saving this updated URL to the database, I used "Hotel%20Yak%20Yeti" to ensure proper URL encoding for the hotel name. This way, the embedded Google Maps location for "Hotel Yak Yeti" works seamlessly on my website.

Pendrive or USB not showing on your Television

Before formatting your device make sure it to backup your files.
May be one thing you did wrong was formatting your pendrive or usb with NTFS extension. The solution would be formatting your pendrive with FAT32 extension.

Importance of double ampersand: logical AND(&&)in JavaScript

Mohit Saud — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 04:36:20 +0000

Saves time and code length.
Gets rid of else statement. Basic Example: > if/else statement let x= 2, y =5; if(y>x){ console.log("y is greater than x"); return; }

Using logical AND (&&) as short-circuit property
let x= 2, y =5;
y>x && console.log("y is greater than x");

The difference the Short-Circuit property makes that you are able to write the code in few lines and is considered as one of the important features of JavaScript and hence making the JavaScript so powerful.
