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.

A new way of viewing pictures on Facebook

A new way of viewing pictures on Facebook

These days, users have started noticing a novelty on Facebook.

Namely, it is a new way of viewing images and video clips. The existing "Lightbox", which was white, was replaced with black, and the field with comments, descriptions, and likes was moved to the right to give the images more space.

The original change was the introduction of a black "Lightbox" that users didn't really like so that Facebook would make that black one brighter, whiter, after a while.

But that was not the solution either.

There were problems with displaying images with higher resolutions, but now that problem has been solved to some extent.

Images will be displayed in as high a resolution as possible depending on the size of your monitor. Example: Open an image on a 1024 × 768 monitor, it will be smaller than when you open it on a 1440 × 900 monitors.

In the previous image preview mode, the images were displayed in one size no matter what monitor resolution you have.

You can do a simple test like this: Open the image, expand your browser as much as you can and then reduce it by 50%, and what happens to the image?

In the old way of viewing images, the image will be the same size, while in the new one the image will change its size.

Do you like it? Already got a new way to view images? :)

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.

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

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? 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.
