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.

Create your own data encryption program

Create your own data encryption program

Create a data encryption program in Notepad in 3 minutes!

How?

All you need is Notepad++ (maybe a regular Notepad). If you are ready to get started!

Open Notepad ++ and paste the code below this paragraph. Then click on "Save As.." and select "All files" below, and for the name type "encrypt .vbs" (you can do anything else but it must be at the end of .vbs ).

set x = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
mySecret = inputbox("Input password and press OK for encryption")
mySecret = StrReverse(mySecret)
x.Run "%windir%\notepad"
wscript.sleep 1000
x.sendkeys encode(mySecret)


function encode(s)
For i = 1 To Len(s)
newtxt = Mid(s, i, 1)
newtxt = Chr(Asc(newtxt)+5)
coded = coded & newtxt
Next
encode = coded
End Function

Save it somewhere, e.g. on the desktop.

Now open Notepad++ again and paste that SAME Code again. But now we have to change something.

Find line number 12 and at the end of the line you will see that it says "+5"

All you have to do is delete that Plus (+) and replace it with Minus (-).

Save this file in the same way as the first one, but put "decrypt.vbs " for the name

You now have 2 files, the first to encrypt your password and the second to decrypt.

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.

Google offline maps - instructions

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.

MapFactor - free Offline navigation with OSM and TomTom maps

MapFactor is free offline navigation for Android, iOS, and Windows / WinCE with more than 50 million users worldwide . You may not have heard of it yet but it offers a lot of options.
