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

Ingress - a game in reality

Ingress - a game in reality

Niantic Labs has prepared a new, completely different game for Android devices that minimizes the boundaries between the virtual and the real world.

The game is designed to "make" players go around the city in search of mystical energy. In the beginning, you can join one of the two Alliances - one that wants power and the other as a resistance movement. Your task is to collect as much mystical energy as possible and open "portals" located in some creative places such as museums and galleries. When three portals merge, a region or solid territory is formed.

So, the game will not keep you in an armchair for hours at home, but you will have to travel around the city in search of energy and portals. Along the way, you will meet members of your team but also opponents. You have to be faster than your opponent to gather as much energy as possible and open as many portals as possible.

Ingress - a game in reality

The Ingress team claims that the game will make people go out and socialize more, and still entertain them. The whole idea was started by John Hanke - a man who is closely connected to Google Earth, Google Maps, and StreetView.

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.
