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.

Google chart now in 3D

Google chart now in 3D

A few months ago, Google integrated charting into its search engine to help students and math enthusiasts with their homework.

This was quite useful and interesting for everyone, so various charts were created, such as Batman's characteristic logo and the like.

Now it is possible to make more complex charts in 3 dimensions (3D)!

Just type a function with two variables to see a dynamic, interactive, three-dimensional drawing. Click anywhere on the chart to rotate and view it from any angle, and you can zoom in and out with the wheel.

You can set variables in the lower right corner, or you can do so in the function you entered in the browser.

This 3D display feature is enabled by a technology called WebGL, which Google is using for the first time in their search. WebGL is a new web technology that brings hardware acceleration to display 3D graphics in a browser without the need to install additional software. This technology is currently supported on more modern browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

Here are 3 examples that you can enter directly into the search box:

sqrt(x*x+y*y)+3*cos(sqrt(x*x+y*y))+5 from -20 to 20
sin(5.5x)*cos(5*y)+x*x+1 x is from -1 to 1, y is from -1 to 1, z is from 0.1 to 2.8
tanh(y(y^4+5x^4-10(x^2)(y^2))/(x^2+y^2)^4)

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.
