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.

This Android app will notify you when a service is using the camera!

This Android app will notify you when a service is using the camera!

With the advent of various malicious smartphone apps in recent times, users have begun to worry about their security more than ever. Especially when the information appeared in the public that the Facebook mobile application will use the front camera of the phone to "read" the facial expressions of the user and thus personalize the content (read: advertisements). I already wrote about it recently - link.

For this purpose, the CamShield application was created, which is in charge of notifying you when the service in the phone uses the camera. This app monitors the status of the camera, both front, and rear, and displays a notification if either of these is turned on. The notification appears at the top of the screen and in the notification panel, and the used camera (front or rear) is highlighted.

According to the authors, they are aware that big companies are spying on us in all possible ways, and mobile phones are one of the best. They also state that the application is optimized for the battery and will not affect consumption, and it works on almost all Android devices.

If you remember, I wrote an article on how to find out which process uses a camera in a computer, and here this option is even more necessary since cameras on phones do not have any indicator when they are used (as is the case with laptops and separate cameras).

The application does NOT require Root, but only Accessibility to display notifications above other applications. So the chances are very high that it will work on your phone. With all that, it's completely free.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
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. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. 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.

By Administrator
I had a problem with the slow loading of folders on Win7, until recently. When I opened the folder, I waited for a while to read all the items from it. That green progress, at least upstairs, was filled with incredible slowness , which annoyed me. I searched a bit on the net, I concluded something myself and came up with a simple and effective solution. You will not need any program or complicated settings for this, everything is easy.

Image of 1.74 giga pixels

By Administrator
In the picture of Barack Obama 's inauguration on January 20, 2009. you can clearly identify each person individually in that mass of people. Click 2x anywhere on the image. Use the zoom on the left to zoom in on the selected person and wait a few seconds for the image to focus. That image was taken by a 174-megapixel robot camera. That's 295 x the average 5-megapixel camera.
