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.

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.
