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.

Android Root vs. iPhone Jailbreak

Android Root vs. iPhone Jailbreak

iOS and Android are the leading two mobile operating systems. Most users of both operating systems have heard of Jailbreak and Root, but what's the difference? Does Jailbreak for iPhone mean the same as Root for Android? No, the difference is huge.

Jailbreak

Once Jailbreak is done, the user has the option to install applications that are not approved by Apple. So, 3rd party applications, or third-party applications, such as customized ones. To perform Jailbreak, a custom kernel is used to gain root access. In addition to the fact that the user can install unauthorized applications, he can normally use the App Store and iTunes.

Root

iOS is not Open Source, which means that the system code cannot be changed. While Android is, 3rd party apps have a lot more control. When Android Root is running, the user has unlimited access to the system through 3rd party applications: he can change every part of it, create his own system (ROM) and install it, adjust processor clock speed, graphics processor, remap hardware buttons, adjust voltage batteries, and more. All this is not possible with Jailbreak.

Also, without Root, Android users can install applications outside the store, directly from the SD card or from the internal memory, which Apple users can only do after Jailbreaking the device.

So if you hear that Jailbreak is the same as Root, or worse - that it's better than Root - you know that's not true.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

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?

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.
