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

By Administrator
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.

How to detect FB profile from image URL?

How to detect FB profile from image URL?

UPDATE: This trick no longer works because Facebook has changed the structure of photo links!

You've probably seen those "special" Facebook image links that are used to show a picture of your friend to someone else. Such links only lead to the image, not to the owner's profile. But there is a way to find out whose picture it is from that link.

Example:

We have a link like this http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/421311_411689185513622_231039633578579_1806854_1394675137_n.jpg

We don't know whose picture it is because when we go to the link we only see the picture, not the profile.

So what to do?

If we pay attention, the link consists of several groups of numbers separated by an underscore (_). If we count the groups, we will see that there are five.

Now, we count the third group on the left. In this case, it's the number 231039633578579

Further. Copy this link into your browser's address bar http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= and add the number we extracted at the end.

In our case, the whole link would look like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=231039633578579

And that's the link to the image owner's profile. If you clicked on this link, you saw that it is the page of this blog.

The same principle is with profiles.

Enjoy.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

By Administrator
Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

How to Decode a Mobile Phone

By Administrator
How to Decode a Mobile Phone? For many owners of new mobile phones that come with a subscription package from one of the mobile operators, this is an important issue. Many get the phone at a symbolic price of 1 dinar and do not intend to use it in the network in which they signed the contract . The problem is that such phones are always locked to the network they are from, and cannot be used in another network.
