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.

Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

One Facebook patent clearly shows how Facebook will use the front camera on phones to record users' facial expressions. This is not new since Facebook developed this patent in 2014 and published it in 2015.

The idea is to record the expressions of the user's leaves - emotions - during their various activities on that social network, for example, while the user likes a post. In this way, Facebook can determine (understand) even more precisely what the user likes and does not like. For some, this is a great option because they will get more relevant information on the wall, but some are also worried and wonder where privacy is?

Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

Android would not be the best and most widespread mobile OS if it were not as good as it is and open to users, so the solution to this "problem" is in the system itself. You've probably already guessed the idea - it's removing the privilege of the Facebook application to use the device's camera.

Android 6.0+ has a built-in part where the user can disable any application related to the phone with a simple touch, e.g. to use the camera, microphone, phone memory… etc. Thus, we can revoke the permission of the Facebook application to use the camera, and the permission applies to all cameras on the phone (front and rear).

If you do not have a phone with the Android 6.0+ version, then read THIS article in which I presented a solution for older systems (requires root).

Remove Facebook application privileges:

depending on the system to system and phone to phone, this option could be located elsewhere. I am writing a tutorial for Galaxy S7 Android 7. Basically, you are looking for App Permissions.

  1. Settings > Apps
  2. Find Facebook in the list and tap on it
  3. Go down and find „App settings“ then tap on „Permissions“
  4. Turn off the camera from the list
Remove Facebook application privileges:

Another way:

  1. Settings > Apps
  2. Tap the three vertical dots in the upper left corner
  3. App permissions
  4. Find the camera from the list and tap
  5. Disable Facebook in the list

Now Facebook can no longer access the camera and when you want to take a picture and post something on the wall you will not be able to. The app will then ask you to allow the camera, and if you allow then you have to repeat that process again to turn off the camera permissions. But it is best to take a picture with the camera app and then send the picture.

A new tool based on artificial intelligence has appeared, which fixes photos in the best possible way! This tool scans the photo and adjusts the parts to get the best possible lighting, colors, and details… even adding elements that the camera did not capture.

See how AI removes moving objects from video!

By Administrator
So far, we have had the opportunity to see how artificial intelligence (AI) manipulates images and videos very well. One of the more interesting, for users, AI features is removing objects from images. This is no longer news, nor is it that interesting (although it certainly is impressive), because AI can now remove moving objects from the image!

How to unlock Samsung phone if you forgot your PIN, password…?

By Administrator
Last year I wrote an article on how to unlock any Android phone if you forgot your PIN, password, or Pattern… but this method only works if you have the "Find my device" application. I didn't have one, so I looked for another solution. Luckily I have a Samsung phone because Samsung offers to unlock the device remotely! In fact, it offers locking, unlocking, locating, deleting, and backing up your phone over the internet, in a few clicks.

What is a VPN, should I use it and which one is good and free?

By Administrator
Updated (January 23, 2019) I suggest this VPN for 2019:  https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2019/01/this-premium-vpn-gives-free-17-gb-of.html As the problem of anonymity on the Internet grows, we try to protect our privacy in all possible ways. I have already written a lot of posts about how to protect yourself on the Internet, how to surf anonymously, how to install Tor , etc. so it would be advisable to read those posts. One of the options I like the most is VPN . Now, I also wrote about a VPN service that is quite good and free, but the problem with that service is that you have to change the code every 24 hours (which appears on the site) and the flow is a bit slower.
