Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Short useful instructions

Short useful instructions

They ask me every day on Facebook to explain to them how to set up this, how that, where this and that is ... etc. So I decided to write an article where I will write a few instructions for these so-called "small problems".

1. Delete Skype chat history 

A frequently asked question that few people know the answer to. So, open Skype, and select "Tools > Options" above. When a new window opens, select the "Privacy" option on the left. Now you will see various settings, find where it says "Keep history for" and below you have the button "Clear history".

2. Change the language on the keyboard?

Most people are confused when they see that there is no icon in the lower right corner to change the language on the keyboard. Here's a simple shortcut to change: Shift + alt.

3. Share a picture from your computer with friends

Many people don't know how to say "send me a picture". Here is a domestic service for image hosts -  dodaj.rs. Simply select an image from your computer and click the big "Add" button and that's it. When the upload is complete, copy the FIRST link from the offered 3, and send it to a friend.

4. Shorten the link (URL)

If you are at school, with a friend, at work ..., and you find a good movie, song, article, news ... and now how to remember it? There is a long link to rewrite it, so there is another great home service - skr.rs. Copy the desired URL, paste it into the large box on this site, and click 'Shorten.' The link will be shortened to only 3 letters/numbers that you can remember. Example skr.rs/eto.

5. Remove the new Facebook image viewer

Since the new way of viewing images on Facebook appeared, most have complained that it doesn't suit them (how do you fix it), and have been looking for various solutions. They would come across various applications, scripts, viruses ... Here's how to remove it without any applications, it's all in the Image Link. So when you open the image you will see a link in the address bar and at the end of the link there will be an appendix: &theater Just deletes it from the link and click enter. That would be it.

  • Hold ctrl on the desktop and rotate the mouse wheel forward to zoom in (back to zoom out)
