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.

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.

Google offline maps - instructions

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.

[Google+] File sharing

The Google+ network brings with it a lot of new options and features that, as I noticed, users like. One of these new features is file sharing between users. Sharing takes place via chat and requires the approval of the file recipient.
