Track internet connection activity with the lights on the keyboard

Track internet connection activity with the lights on the keyboard

In one of the last posts, I wrote how to set your keyboard to light up. Now I will show you how to set the lights on the keyboard to light up when you receive or send data to the Internet.

First, you need to download a small program of only 75kb from THIS link. Unzip the archive and run the NetworkLights.exe file

Installation is not required, it is enough to run the mentioned icon and it will automatically go down to the system tray.

If you are using a USB keyboard, it is advisable to set the program to do so.

Right-click on the icon located in the system tray, and select options. Now tick the "USB keyboard..." option

You can also choose which two lights you want to light.

Note: If you let one of these two lights be Num Lock, then the numbers on the right will not work for you.

Save the settings and that would be it.

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?
