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.

Make your keyboard light up

Make your keyboard light up

Here's an old interesting trick for Windows operating systems - A light show of lights.

With the help of a small ordinary script, you can "make" the lights (Num, Caps, Scroll) on the Keyboard light up, ie. tremble.

This "trick" will work on all keyboards!

So what do you need:

Let's start:

  1. Open Notepad and copy the code below:
    Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    do
    wscript.sleep 100
    wshshell.sendkeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
    wshshell.sendkeys "{NUMLOCK}"
    wshshell.sendkeys "{SCROLLLOCK}"
    loop
  2. Save file (Ctrl + S) as filename.vbs
    Note that it says .vbs at the end
  3. A new file will appear, click 2x on it to run it and that's it, the lights are flashing.

To stop the script:

Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), go to the "processes" tab, and at the end of the list find the process wscript.exe, click on  End Process and the script will shut down.

Note: The lights may not turn off either, but if they remain on, simply turn them off with the appropriate key on the keyboard.

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

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.

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.

What should you check before buying a used phone?

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this article!

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.
