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.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
