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.

Google Street View Hyperlapse

Hyperlapse has become quite popular in recent times. An application for iOS devices that can be used to create a hyper-lapse video clip has appeared, and it has received a lot of positive reviews.

Google keeps track of your traffic history

I don't even have to say how useful and necessary GPS is. Google has used it wisely and implemented it in its services and devices, as well as in the Android system itself. For example, we can use Google maps only as a city map, or as navigation. But what if we don't use either? Google still records your movements.

Alert about FB Messenger and terms of use

News has begun circulating on the Internet that Facebook Messenger has "dangerous" terms of use  and lists the phone's features that the app can access without our knowledge.

How NOT to speed up Android?

I read texts on various portals, which are trying to fill the Tech category, about accelerating Android devices. Mostly the same tips follow, some may write a little "more advanced" tricks. But it all actually slows down, not speeds up.

Is CCleaner needed?

CCleaner has become an almost regular program on Windows computers. Everyone uses it, cleans the computer regularly, and thinks that it speeds it up that way. But is that really so? If you use it as an average user, with default settings, it will only slow down your computer. How come he slows down? It's simple, CCleaner deletes files that actually speed up your computer. For example, it deletes temp files that serve to speed up your internet surfing. This is where the browser saves the data, so the next time you visit a site, the browser reads the already cached data from the HDD, it doesn't have to download it again from the internet. What's more, it deletes site cookies and other information such as autofill, so you may lose some saved auto-fill data in the browser. Only the "Empty recycle bin" option can help, but you don't need additional software.
