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.

Microsoft makes AI antivirus using 400 million computers!

As Ransomware viruses began to appear rapidly and spread, such as WannaCry recently, Microsoft decided to take Windows PC protection to a whole new level. They plan to do that by upgrading the Windows Defender antivirus, which comes with Windows, by adding artificial intelligence that uses 400 million computers to protect against viruses!

The company says the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 OS will allow users to take advantage of cloud-connected protection under Windows Defender. That way, every Windows 10 computer user will have protection against such viruses almost instantly thanks to a network that will be built from computers that also use this type of protection.

This kind of protection system will prevent Ransomware, and similar, viruses as soon as they appear because when a minimum number of computers report a virus, that information is sent to everyone else and the antivirus starts working and removes the virus on other computers.

This protection will be integrated into Windows Defender called "Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection" (very creative) and will use Machine learning to detect and prevent viruses from spreading rapidly.

Microsoft makes AI antivirus using 400 million computers!

As CNET and TNW have learned, this option will be available only for Windows enterprise users for now, and whether it will be for ordinary users as well - they are waiting for a response from Microsoft.

In my opinion, this approach in the fight against new dangerous viruses is logical and I think it will be effective.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1.

So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

What should you check before buying a used phone?

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this article!
