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.

Mobile Internet Sharing - WiFi, Bluetooth or USB?

Mobile Internet Sharing - WiFi, Bluetooth or USB?

You’ve probably heard of the terms WiFi Hotspot and Tethering, and I believe you have used them. Mobile internet sharing is becoming more common today because operators give us a lot of gigabytes of bandwidth. It's a very convenient way to share the internet with people who don't have WiFi nearby, mobile internet, or your tablet that doesn't have a SIM card.

However, questions arise: how much do Hotspot and Tethering consume, and which sharing method is best?

1. WiFi Hotspot

This is the most common method of sharing the Internet because multiple users can connect and transfer enough speed, even 4G speeds. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy and the connection is not very secure, even if protection is installed.

2. USB Tetheringmob

The main advantage is battery saving. The device connects via a USB cable and can share the Internet, but it can also be charged. Plus, the connection is pretty secure. The disadvantages are that only one device can be connected, the cable is mostly short and the device that receives the Internet must be powered by USB, which directly affects its battery (if it is not connected to the power supply). Also, often both devices need to have some software installed.

3. Bluetooth Tethering

BT is made primarily for portable devices, so battery consumption is better optimized. This method has advantages in terms of lower power consumption, and a much faster connection to a device that shares the Internet. But, the disadvantages are that only one device can connect and cannot withstand higher speeds than 3G.

Which method is best?

It depends on the situation. If you have 4G and want to use full speed, WiFi Hotspot is the right solution.

If you need to share 3G internet, say on a tablet, Bluetooth Tethering is a better option.

And if you want a secure connection with only one device that is plugged in, e.g. laptop, then USB Tethering is a good solution.

To click on the post or not?

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.
