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.

Check online how long you wait in a post office!

Check online how long you wait in a post office!

Nobody likes the order in the post office, and we always look to go to the one where there are usually fewer crowds. But how do you know which one is waiting for the least? Especially if you don’t go often, or if you’re in another city. You can find help on Google Maps!

The new update for Google Maps brings us information about how many people usually stay somewhere. Something similar already existed, but in the form of a graph showing when there are the most people in a location during the day. And now you can see the average retention time.

This information is available for almost all objects added to Google Maps, and I found this option useful for places waiting in lines - post offices, banks…

NEW: "live" data are also available - https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2016/11/from-now-on-you-can-see-in-real-time.html

I'm not sure if the option is available in the regular version of this app because I'm a Beta tester so I'm getting new features sooner. But you can definitely update Google Maps and check it out.

  1. Open Google Maps and find an object
  2. Tap on it and drag the panel up to see all the information about that place
    Tap on it and drag the panel up to see all the information about that place
  3. Now go down a bit until you come across the information "People typically spend xx min here"
    Now go down a bit until you come across the information "People typically spend xx min here"

I don't know how Google measures this, but by some logic, it simply pulls the average retention of devices that are attached to the Internet and has a location and tracking option enabled. In the same/similar way, Google creates information on traffic congestion, which has recently become available in our country.

This new information on the average user retention somewhere can really be helpful. Not only can you see how long you have to wait in a post office or bank, but also whether, say, a restaurant is good based on whether customers leave it quickly or enjoy it.

There are many examples and I believe that you will find this new option useful in any case.

How to ROOT a phone in 30 seconds

By Administrator
Recently, an application appeared that ROOTs some Android devices in a few seconds! You don't need Odin or anything else, just that app, and in a few seconds, your phone is rooted. An app called  ExynosAbuse can be found on the XDA forum, downloaded, and installed for free on your phone. After starting, all you have to do is press " Root device " and it will do its job in a few seconds. You don't even have to restart your phone, you will only be notified that the ROOT has passed successfully and you will see the SuperSu icon.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

By Administrator
IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quite popular nowadays and is being used more and more intensively. Google has, I can say, the most developed so far and is available to end-users (at least one part). We had a chance to see how it is integrated into the new Google Assistant that has replaced Google Now.

Mobile Browsers

By Administrator
The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.
