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.

How to save extra on Aliexpress site?

How to save extra on Aliexpress site?

Already after you decide to buy something on the Aliexpress site, instead of in local stores, you have achieved great savings. However, on Aliexpress itself, you can save even more if you are careful. Here are some tips based on my experience so far.

If you haven't already, take a look at the article in which I explained in detail how to shop on Chinese sites - https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-to-buy-from-chinese-sites.html

1. Follow the promotions

On the "Super Deals" page, you can find items that are currently on sale (although they usually stay longer) and these discounts range from a couple to as much as 90 percent! You can also select product categories to see only what interests you.

1. Follow the promotions

2. Filtering

After you get the search results for an item or list from a category, you can select the "Sale Items" filter. This filter will show you all the items that are on sale.

2. Filtering

3. Wish list

Create an account on the site and add the desired products to the wish list (you can in the default list or make your own). When that product is on sale you will see a notification.

4. Mobile payment

Aliexpress often gives a lower price if you pay for a product through their mobile application. Mobile applications are free and you can log in with your account. When it says that a product is cheaper if you buy it over the phone, open it in the application and make a purchase.

The procedure is the same as on the computer: enter personal and card data. You do not need any special mobile application or payment service, so the same as on the website, only you will receive a discount. In the filters, you can choose to list only products that offer a lower price for in-app purchases.

5. Games

The mobile application has a mini-game with coins with which you can collect coupons for shopping. Install the app and you will see a game that you can play every day.

These are some tips, but I would like to point out the payment via the application because that way you get a specifically lower price, and even more, if the item has already been reduced, this is a great option for you to save as much as possible.

[Google+] File sharing

The Google+ network brings with it a lot of new options and features that, as I noticed, users like. One of these new features is file sharing between users. Sharing takes place via chat and requires the approval of the file recipient.

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?

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this article!

Google offline maps - instructions

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.

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.
