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.

How to reduce eye strain while using the phone at night?

How to reduce eye strain while using the phone at night?

If you often go to bed at night with the phone, would you like to read an article from the Do You Know Tech Blog for the last time that day, I suggest you apply the advice from this text. Just like computer monitors, phone screens emit artificial blue light that bothers our eyes, especially at night when that screen is the only source of light.

If you've been following this blog for 6 years, you may remember (and probably won't) that I wrote an article about a Windows program that reduces that artificial blue. The name of the program is "F.lux" and if you haven't heard of it yet, read the article here. There you can also see graphs of how much the colors are shrinking, and why that blue is harmful at all if that interests you.

There is the same solution for the phone in the form of applications or phone settings. I will show you several ways so you choose the one that suits you best.

Android

If you have Android, then you belong to the group of happier people because you have more options. Android 7.0 Nougat has this option built-in, and if you have a lower version of the system then you can choose one of the free apps.

Integrated option

I can't tell you exactly where each phone is, but I can give you an idea. It is mostly found in the screen settings when you open the phone settings. The option is called "Blue light filter" in most cases. This is what it looks like with the Galaxy S7 phone with the Android 7 Nougat system:

Integrated option

As you can see you have options to adjust the intensity of the filter and when it will turn on (if you want it to turn on automatically). So you can set "from sunset to sunrise" or manually select a period.

You can add a quick (de) activation button in the quick action panel (when you drag notifications twice).

Applications

You have several options, and these are more popular and free applications: Blue Light Filter,  sFilter,  Twilight. F.lux also has its own application (link) but requires ROOT.

iOS

This option is integrated into iOS 9.3 and later versions called "Night Shift". You can easily access it: Settings> Display & Brightness> Night Shift.

iOS

And here you have several options:

  • Intensity adjustment
  • Automatic on / off: sunrise - sunset
  • Turn on manually (filter stays on until dawn)
  • Automatic on/off: from - to hours

You can manually turn this option on or off from the Control Center.

You can manually turn this option on or off from the Control Center.

Did you know that the first Samsung Galaxy Note was ridiculed by users and the media? Everyone laughed at his "huge" case and said that it would fall apart immediately after it appeared. They said that it was too big and that such a phone would never be used every day.

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.
