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 start service „Your Timeline“

Your Timeline is a service that displays the history of your movement in chronological order on a map. In addition, this service connects Google Photos and your navigation history to show photos you've taken in a specific location on the timeline. Sounds a little creepy?

On the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, this service allows us to have a history of our travels with photos in one place. It's nice to remember the good old days of traveling.

As far as privacy is concerned, Google has given full control, and above all, it is private to everyone. So only you can see your movement history and your photos.

Google start service „Your Timeline“

Of course, you can also disable, ie. pause, gathering information about your current location, and what was talked about recently when information appeared on the internet about how Google tracks our movements.

Anyway, the service is interesting, a nice idea, but I personally will not use it because I turned off the option to track my location.

You can access the service from your computer at https://www.google.com/maps/timeline  and from smart devices in the Google Maps app itself when you sign in to your Google Account.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.
