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.

Write your welcome message when you start your computer

Write your welcome message when you start your computer

One little trick you can use to write a message that you will hear when starting the system.

What you need:

Let's start:

  1. Open Notepad and copy the script:
    Dim speaks, speech
    
    speaks="Welcome to your PC, Username"
    
    Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
    
    speech.Speak speaks

    You can change the order: where you will enter your name "Welcome to your PC, Username" instead of  "Username". You can also change the whole sentence, it just has to be in English.
  2. Save the script (ctrl + s) named "welcome.vbs
  3. Open the "Startup programs" folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (For win XP),
    or C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (For windows 7 and Vista)
    Copy the file you saved earlier here.
  4. The next time you start the system, you will be greeted by a message you wrote.

Note: The message will be spoken in English.

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.
