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.

Thousands of users are left without the Internet this summer?!

Thousands of users are left without the Internet this summer?!

The FBI warns that thousands of users could be left without internet access this summer.

Many of them are unaware that their problem began when international hacker groups posted a fake ad that on July 9 is supposed to take control of infected computers around the world.

So the FBI recently, with the help of government computers, set up a secure network to prevent Internet interruptions for users who got the virus. However, that system needs to be shut down.

They encourage users to visit dcwg.org to check if they are "infected" and to find a detailed explanation of how to resolve the issue.

Many do not even know that their computers "picked up" the virus, although hacker software probably slowed down their surfing and disabled their antivirus software, which makes their computers more susceptible to other problems.

Hackers have managed to inject viruses into, presumably, more than 570,000 computers worldwide.

They take advantage of flaws in the Windows operating system and, among other things, install malicious software that excludes antivirus updates.

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.

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.

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.
