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.

How NOT to speed up Android?

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.

Having been using Android devices for about 5 years, I tried 1001 ways to speed up my devices. There are some really good ways, but for more experienced users, and it works, the device works faster. But here I am writing about how not to try to speed up Android.

1. Install RAM manager (cleaner, booster ..)

These programs eject the applications that are there from the temporary memory to run faster the next time. Then why throw them out? If you search on more serious forums or ask more professional people, they will answer you the same - these applications are useless.

2. Delete the Cache application

What else is a cache for? To speed up the application. Why delete? Well, the main reason is that over time, the cache fills up and slows down the device. Yes, that applies if you have a phone from 7 years ago. And yes, you can delete the cache once every 5 months, not every day or week. Applications that clear the cache are useless again and will slow down the device again.

3. Forcibly close applications that you do not use

Just to follow a logical path, a more expert does not have to tell you, if you forcibly close the application (kill), the system will need more processing power, time, and energy to run it. Doesn't that take longer than "pulling" it out of the temporary memory? That's why this temporary memory exists, as in the computer, to make the system access applications faster. Then why kick them out?

These are mostly the 3 most common tips I came across, I didn't want to read any more instructions.

Tip: use your phone normally, it exists to serve you, not you.

In one of the next posts, I will write about how to really speed up Android, but you will need a little more knowledge. Until then, you can read the posts from the "Android" category to get to know this OS a little better.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quite popular nowadays and is being used more and more intensively. Google has, I can say, the most developed so far and is available to end-users (at least one part).

Self-destructive email

Self-Destructing email is a service that offers a unique email address for a specified period, usually 10 minutes.

Mobile Browsers

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.
