Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

By Administrator
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.

[Windows] How to find out which process uses the camera?

[Windows] How to find out which process uses the camera?

Want to find out if malware is using your camera? Or do you want to know which program prevents you from using the camera while, say, talking via Skype?

Here are instructions on how to find out exactly which process is using the camera and how to turn it off.

1) First install Process Explorer or Explorer Hacker

2) Now open the Devices Manager

Press Win + R, copy this, and type Enter: mmc devmgmt.msc

3) Find the camera

It is usually listed under "Image Processing Devices". It is mostly called a "camera", you will easily find it.

3) Find the camera

4) Find the physical name of the camera

Right-click the camera device and select Properties. Then click the Details tab and find "Physical device object name" or "Physical device object name" in the drop-down menu if the system is in English. Now you will be printed something like "\Device\00000040". That number varies from computer to computer. Right-click on it and copy.

4) Find the physical name of the camera

5) Finding a process

Run one of the two programs you installed in step 1 and press Ctrl + F to start the search. Just paste in the box what you copied with Ctrl + V and click Find (or Enter)

5) Finding a process

6) Shutdown process

It is best to turn it off manually, e.g. if Chrome uses your camera just turn off Chrome (I wrote about how to know which card uses your camera or microphone so you can find your way around), and if you don't know which program/process it is, you can right-click on the process and select "Terminate" (not recommended for less experienced users).

[Windows] How to create an invisible folder

By Administrator
At the time when I got my first computer, games weren't that popular, so we researched the system, and the whole computer in general (at least I did). After discovering something interesting, we try to use it to "challenge" each other.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
