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.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

By Administrator
I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
