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.

Redesigned Google+

Redesigned Google+

Google has announced that it will make major changes to the look of its new Google+ service in a few days, but a new look has already appeared for me.

One of the major changes in the toolbar that was at the top, and has now been moved from the left while the chat has been moved to the right side of the screen.

Toolbox bar:

In addition to being moved to the left, a lot of changes have been made.

  • When you hover over an icon, you will see more options available for that tool.
  • You can also change the arrangement of the icons on the bar. Simply drag the icon to the location you want and release it.
  • The appearance of the icons themselves has changed somewhat, but they have basically remained the same.
  • A new tool called "Explore" has been added. Now it's even easier to discover interesting topics on the Google+ social network.

Profile:

The look of the user's profile has also changed a lot.

  • The profile picture is now much larger and has been moved to the right.
  • Behind the profile picture is a "Cover photo", something similar to the Facebook Timeline.
  • Below the cover photo, there is profile navigation: Wall, Data, Pictures, Snapshots, and +1 items
  • On the right, below the profile picture, there is a brief overview of your circles: Users in your circles and Users who have you in circles.

In short, those would be bigger changes, at first glance. I leave the rest to you to discover :)

The only thing that bothers me a little, and I see other members of google +, is too much empty space.

How do you like the new look?

New smileys for Facebook "grew" into pictures!

Lately, the  new option on Facebook has become a favorite among users. Namely, when the new option for Facebook chat appeared, it was known that it would not stop at troll smilies .

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.
