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.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.

Speed ​​up copying of text in Windows!

By Administrator
Today, we can hardly imagine working on a computer without the famous copy/paste option. I believe that you copy and paste some text at least once during the day. Copying and pasting text in Windows is usually done with shortcuts ctrl + ci ctrl + v ( see more useful shortcuts ), and it's fast and efficient enough. But there is a faster way!

By Administrator
At the time when I got my first computer, games weren't that popular, so we researched the system, and the whole computer in general (at least I did). After discovering something interesting, we try to use it to "challenge" each other.
