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.

Some news on Facebook 2

Some news on Facebook 2

In one of the last posts, I described a couple of news on Facebook, now I will expand that list a bit.

You must have heard recently about a new image browser, or a new way to set privacy ..., all this was announced, from now on it is official and available to most users.

When FB introduced a new image viewer, almost everyone protested and found it hard to accept, and in addition, the images were of poor quality. Now a little has changed. No, they didn't go back to the old, only the new ones improved. According to some announcements, the new browser should increase the quality and resolution of the image. Secondly, it is no longer black, but white. Do you like it?

Another novelty is the change of privacy settings. Many said that Facebook "copied" Google+ on this issue. Either way, we need to use what FB has to offer.

What's new here?

The status has been changed when updating the status, now there are only 3 options: "Update status", "Post image" and "Questions". When you click "Update status" at the bottom of the text box you can see some news: Tag a friend, add a place (place) and set who can see the status. Everything is very similar to Google+, but at first glance it is obvious. Take a look at the comparative pictures and tell me if you like the new option?

A little while ago I wrote that you only have 3 options on the home page when updating the status, I did not write the possibility of adding video clips, because there are no options. So you have to do it another way, how?

On your profile below the image, click on the "Photos" link and then in the upper right corner click on "Videos" (or on this link to go directly there) and then click on "Add Video". A page will now open where you can select a video from your computer, or record it with your webcam, and fields for entering clip titles, descriptions, and tagging friends.

And finally, the privacy settings page. It has been completely redesigned and some new settings have been introduced. One of them is tag management. Now you have full control over the tags, you can choose when someone can tag you in the pictures .. Worth a try.

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.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
