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.

Google Assistant vs Siri (2016)

Google Assistant vs Siri (2016)

Both Google and Apple have done a great job when it comes to voice commands in smartphones. Google recently introduced a completely new version called  Google Assistant (formerly Google Now), and Apple kept the name, Siri. Which of these two assistants is better now? Just to remind you, Google Now has always beaten Siri so far, will that be the case now?

Renowned Youtube user  Marques Brownlee made a video demonstration of both voice assistants and compared them to make a video that will perform the tasks better.

I would divide the ratings into:

  • Extensive information
  • Handsfree
  • Speed

In the first category, in my opinion, Siri took away (or took away? She is a robot, so she has no gender, although she has a female voice and name) more points because she always asks for a little more information when asked. Sometimes stock charts or more detailed match results. However, Google Assistant provides more accurate information and utters it - which I will mention in the next category. So, in this category, Siri takes a little more points.

In the second category, Google Assistant takes a convincing victory. He likes to talk a lot with the user and read the answers, while Siri just says "Here are the results" and shows them. Google Assistant also has built-in artificial intelligence so you can have a conversation with it like any other person!

For example, if you ask "Who is the President of America" ​​you get the answer "Barack Obama" and if you immediately ask "How tall is he?" Google Assistant will agree with that question. But if you try it with Siri, you won't get an answer to the second question, at least not in the form of a specific result, but in the form of Google (Bing) search results. So, if you are in the car or your hands are busy while, say, cooking, Google Assistant will be much more helpful than Siri.

And as for speed, they are equal. Sometimes Siri is faster, sometimes Google Assistant, but it’s about half a second or less. So I would put this category under a draw.

In the end, when we summarize the results, we come to the conclusion that Google Assistant won. Why? Because it has a built-in AI that is much more advanced than Siri's mechanism and helps a lot. So that you can engage in a conversation and talk as with any person, he can remember and quickly give concrete results that he reads. These are all features of an assistant that a smartphone should have.

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 .
