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.

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.

Google offline maps - instructions
