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.

Speccy - Get to know your computer in detail

Speccy - Get to know your computer in detail

The average user usually only knows what the CPU speed is, how much RAM it has, what the label is on the graphics card, and how much the HDD is… But he doesn't know some perhaps more important details.

Speccy is a program that will reveal these details and you will have a complete insight into all the components that are inside your machine.

After the usual installation, run the program and wait a few seconds to search all the components. After that, you can see the basic details of these components, and clicking on one will open a new page where you can find all the information in the smallest details.

For example, I opened the details for the GT 520 graphics card. Now, we can see how much that card has its own memory, who is the manufacturer, temperature, GPU, DirectX support, OpenGL support, and even voltage and whether it produces noise in operation. You will not hear all this information from the seller, you will only know which one is graphic, and possibly how much memory it has.

You can also check the Processor, HDD, OS, Memory (RAM), Motherboard, Optical Drive, Sound Card, Peripherals, and Network. Everything in the smallest detail. If you are not an expert in hardware components, I believe you will not know what half of this information means, but you can easily find what you need.

The program is completely free and takes up a little more than 4MB and you can download it from the following link:  http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy

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.
