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.

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
