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.

What is IPv6?

What is IPv6?

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol, the successor to the Internet Protocol (IPv4), designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

In IPv6, a new (but not yet widely used) standard Internet protocol, where 128-bit addresses are wide, which, even with large netblock allocations, should satisfy the near future.

Theoretically, there would be exactly 2128, or 3,403 × 1,038 unique host interface addresses. If the earth were made up entirely of a 1cm³ grain of sand, then a single address could be assigned to each grain in 300 million planets the size of the earth. This large address space will be rarely filled, allowing more routing information to be re-encoded into the addresses themselves.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. Addresses are assigned to individual interfaces on nodes, not nodes in person. A single interface can have multiple unicast addresses. Any of the unicast addresses associated with a node interface can be used to uniquely represent that node. The combination of long addresses and multiple addresses per interface allows more efficient routing compared to IPv4.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

Top 5 free Google Maps alternatives in 2021

Google Maps is for many the main application for navigation, searching for restaurants, sights, information about an object… etc. There are really many options, including Offline navigation, but again, some users do not want to just use Google services. Google is indeed a bit of a taboo topic when it comes to user privacy, so in this article, I would like to present similar applications that do not use Google services.

How to copy text from an image (in 2 clicks, free)

Copying text online is certainly an action we do many times during the day, but the problem is that the text from the image cannot be copied - we have to retype it. However, today there are intelligent OCR tools for image text recognition.

Total War Shogun 2: The Fall of the Samurai

Fall of the Samurai is the first solo expansion for Total War: Shogun 2  was set in Japan during the Boshin War in the 1960s. It is a civil war that began as an ideological struggle due to the pro-Western policy of the shogunate. Clans that were against this policy fought against the shogunate and to restore power to the emperor, while during the war both sides used weapons that were no longer classic for Japan in the last century, but also used rifles and armor. The result is a unique environment: samurai who use forged swords, but also rifles and everything that that time brought.
