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.

Speccy - Get to know your computer in detail

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

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.

What should you check before buying a used phone?

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this 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.

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.
