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.

Intel solar powered processors

Intel's solar-powered processor was originally launched as an entertainment project but the company now wants to extend this technology to hardware such as graphics processors, memory, and floating-point units.

Over the past year, Intel has introduced low-power processors that charge only through the light of a reading lamp that features Windows or Linux computers. Intel is expected to release new details about the Claremont processor in the coming period, most likely during the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco next week.

This CPU, which is the size of a postage stamp, is also known as an NTV CPU for its ability to operate at extremely low voltage. CPU consumption goes up to 280mV when running at 3MHz and up to 1.2V when running at 1GHz when better performance is needed. The NTV CPU is designed to provide extreme energy efficiency to computing devices, says Justin Rattner, Intel's chief technology officer.

He claims that in this way, they have been enabled to provide far more efficient products in terms of electricity consumption while achieving appropriate levels of performance. The CPU can maintain nominal levels when not working, which means that laptops could run without compromising battery performance. This is much better than putting your computer into sleep or hibernation mode to conserve battery power.

The next goal is to expand this technology to key components within the computer, and graphics and memory are at work, Rattner claims. The solar-powered CPU is based on the design of the Pentium chip and is made using a 32-nm manufacturing process, the same one used to make the latest Medfield -branded smartphone chip. This chip will appear in smartphones and tablets by the end of the year.

Intel presented new details related to this chip and design methodology during the ISSCC event, which ends on February 23. Separate documents covering memory, graphics processors, and floating-point units based on new technology were also presented.

All research related to solar-powered CPUs is conducted within Intel's research labs, and the company does not expect these CPUs to become commercial soon, but they can be considered an element that will find its place in future Intel products.

What is GLONASS?

If you've looked at the detailed specification of an Android or GPS device, you may have seen another term next to the GPS tag and didn't know exactly what it represents. Well,  GLONASS is a global navigation system that was started by the USSR in 1976, so this project could be taken over by Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.
