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.

Chrome crashed in Pwn2Own

Google's Chrome browser crashed during the Pwn2Own competition. Yesterday, the first of three days of the competition was held. Although Pwn2Own has been untouchable in the past two years , the French team, Vupen, was the first to show the existence of two weak points within this browser when it runs on the Windows 7 operating system.

Mobile Browsers

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great . The side edges are slightly curved to make the phone fit better in the hand, and the back of the device has a fine finish so there are no glare and fingerprints.
