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.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.
