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.

What NOT to do with your new Android phone?

What NOT to do with your new Android phone?

Many know what they want to do right away with their brand new Android phone, but most don’t know what not to do. In this text, I will give advice on what is not the best thing to do based on the personal experience of many Android users.

DO NOT install applications with unnecessary permissions

DO NOT install applications with unnecessary permissions

Many extremely simple applications require some permissions on the phone that it really doesn't even need. For example, what will the "Flashlight" application get permission for your location or directory and the like? Speaking of that app, don’t install them because Android 5.0+ has that option built-in. Before installing any application, check the permissions required on the application page of the Play Store. If you have Android 6.0+ then no problem, you can limit any permission in the app options. If you have older versions of Android, you can use the Xprivacy module for Xposed - Root required.

DO NOT install applications that "speed up" the phone

DO NOT install applications that "speed up" the phone

With a large number of inexperienced users who have just received their Android phone, I have seen installed applications that "speed up" the phone, such as various Cleaners, RAM managers, Task killers, etc. Android in newer versions (versions used in every phone today) has a great built-in app and memory manager - you have absolutely no need to install apps designed for that. I have already written about this, so read HERE.

DO NOT expect the iPhone experience

DO NOT expect the iPhone experience

If you have just switched to Android from iPhone, or you have tried iPhone from your friend, do not expect an identical work experience. Because, with the Apple device, the rule "everything just works" applies, but that's just how the user sees and thinks (it's interesting that apps on iOS shoot more often than on Android), and in fact, Apple tried to provide such a feeling no matter what it really happens "under the hood". Android is really user-friendly and doesn't hide anything, it's completely yours, it's completely open, and that's why "not so smooth work" can be noticed. The advice is to take a Nexus device after the iPhone because it is produced by Google and Android is best optimized for it.

DO NOT buy the phone from the operator

DO NOT buy the phone from the operator

Why? There are several reasons. First of all, they insert too many unnecessary applications (so-called Bloatware) which are used only for promotion and you cannot remove them as a normal user. The only way is a new system and for that you need Root and you lose the warranty. Furthermore, they send OTA (over-the-air) updates very slowly, so you get, with a little luck, the latest system even after a year from its appearance of that system. And finally, when you pay for the device after e.g. 2 years turns out to be more expensive than if you bought it in a store. And you were still limited and nailed to that operator all the time.

And for the end…

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 .

Serbia will soon have the strongest supercomputer in the Balkans!

By upgrading the "Paradox" supercomputer, Serbia will receive in the next few months the most powerful supercomputer in the Balkans, worth around one million euros!
