The first electronic device ever made at Samsung was a black-and-white TV in the 1970s. The company decided to expand, so in 1984 they started producing car phones. Samsung TV has had a lot of success, but that was not the case with the phone either.

The Samsung SCH-100 is the label of the phone model that first had CDMA technology in it, and was manufactured in 1996. Although today we have 4G (LTE) speeds, CDMA at the time of GSM was a real refreshment and advancement when it comes to mobile networks.

Yes, Samsung had the first smartwatch in the world, back in 1999. Interestingly, this watch could call without pairing with any other device, and was marked  SPH-WP10. He could make calls that could last a maximum of 90 minutes after which the battery would discharge. It had a monochrome LCD screen and physical buttons for navigating through the interface. He also had "Voice Command", ie calling numbers by voice. Not very attractive looking, this watch was not a success, but it is nice to know that something like this existed 17 years ago.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.

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.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
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.
