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.

Make your own Multitouch Pad

By Administrator
Make your own Multitouch Pad

Build your own Multitouch Pad at home in five minutes? It is possible to! See how.

For this you will need the following materials:

  • Cardboard box,
  • Plexiglas (or some ordinary transparent plastic),
  • White paper,
  • Web camera (any),
  • Computer.

Assembly:

  • Raise the sides of the box and glue them to make the box higher.
  • Cut the paper and transparent plastic to the dimensions of the top surface of the box.
  • Glue the paper to the transparent plastic.
  • In the middle of the bottom of the box, attach the camera so that it "looks" up.
  • Somewhere near the bottom of the box, on a page, drill a hole where you will pass the USB from the camera.
  • Place transparent plastic with paper on top of the box, and fasten it all so that it does not fall.

Software part:

  • Connect the USB from the camera to the computer.
  • Download these three programs and install: Finger Tracking, Mouse Driver, Multi-Touch
  • Start Finger Tracking and you will see what the camera sees. Touch your fingers and you will see white dots. So it works.
  • Mosue Driver allows you to control the cursor using another device.
  • Multi-Touch will allow you to use 2 or more fingers.

How it works?

The camera records white paper and since it is dark inside the box, the camera will recognize your fingers when you put them on the paper because a shadow is created. The Finger Tracker program recognizes these shadows and inverts them to white. It then tracks the white color that the camera sees. And the Mouse Driver program moves the cursor when the Finger Tracking program detects the movement of those white dots (your fingers).

The Galaxy Note was ridiculed when it appeared, and now…

By Administrator
Did you know that the first Samsung Galaxy Note was ridiculed by users and the media? Everyone laughed at his "huge" case and said that it would fall apart immediately after it appeared. They said that it was too big and that such a phone would never be used every day.

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.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
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.
