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.

Yes, if GPS on your phone is turned on and you haven’t launched any GPS apps, Google still records your location. Someone will think it’s great, there’s a history of the movement, they can review, share again, and yet someone cares about their privacy and is already looking at how to stop it.

First, check to see if Google has recorded your movements at this link https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0. Select a period, and the route of your movement with the correct time will be drawn on the map.

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.

What is GLONASS?

If you've looked at the detailed specification of an Android or GPS device, you may have seen another term next to the GPS tag and didn't know exactly what it represents. Well,  GLONASS is a global navigation system that was started by the USSR in 1976, so this project could be taken over by Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
