Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

By Administrator
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.

Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

By Administrator
Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

Internet Explorer 10 within the Windows 8 operating system will include an integrated version of Adobe Flash, while the Metro-based browser will feature support for the use of Flash on a limited number of Web sites.

When it comes to the Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft's browser will be available in two versions:

  • a traditional desktop browser with full support for plugins and extensions,
  • as well as a new Metro-based browser for which plugins will not be necessary.

In addition, the browser will feature an integrated version of Adobe Flash, and because it is integrated, it will not be treated as a plugin. However, you should take into account the fact that Microsoft will limit the use of Flash in the Metro-based browser to those Web sites that are on the list of approved sites.

The list implies a combination of domains:

  • video sites such as Hulu, YouTube, and Vimeo,
  • sites such as CNN, BBC, and Wired,
  • as well as a large number of entertainment and gaming sites such as Facebook and Zynga.

Flash-based interactive content on these sites will work within the Metro-based browser. Flash content on other sites will require the use of a desktop browser.

Flash is still a very productive tool for creating rich, interactive Web content, and Adobe wants to keep it usable, at least until the moment when development tools enable a full transition to HTML5.

If the company decides on this transition earlier, then Flash must be usable on Windows 8. Of course, Flash is not the only plugin technology used to provide streaming video and rich interactive content. Microsoft's Silverlight is also used for the same thing, so the question arises, will Microsoft create an integrated version of Silverlight like they did with Flash?

For now, the answer to that question is not known, but it can be concluded - one of the websites that are on the list of Flash-approved sites is Netflix, and this is very interesting since Netflix does not actually use Flash for streaming media content, but uses Silverlight.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
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.

By Administrator
So, with the help of Jquery, we can create a very simple widget for blog visitors with which they can change the background. In the picture on the left, I took ordinary links as an example and only 3 colors, you can insert thumbnails and as many colors as you want. But you will need a little coding for that.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

By Administrator
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.
