Do You Know Tech?

You are buying a new phone and you don't know where to start, what to pay attention to, what is good and what is not…? Stay tuned to this article and find out all about it. Introduction I have been following the world of mobile phones for many years, from the appearance of the first Android until today. I follow the market, novelties, innovations, company actions, ups, and downs… When I buy a phone for myself, this process can take several months or even a year, and I will explain why.

Netflix has been available in Serbia for some time, but what turns many off from this service is the lack of Serbian translations. The closest alternative is Croatian translations, but they are not so common either. Therefore, in this article, I am writing instructions on how to watch Netflix content with any translation!

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.

eSIM is not new in the world, it has been there for some time, but few people understand what it is. In talking to people around me, I realized that many have never heard of it. In this article, I will explain, as always, as easily as possible what eSIM is and how it works.

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

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.

No,  the Oukitel OK6000 Plus is not a phone with the best specs you can find today, and otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. But this phone has a battery of 6080mAh ! As for the specifications , a completely average phone: 5.5 ″ 1080p screen, 64GB of internal memory, 4GB of RAM , MediaTek MT6750T 1.5GHz Octa-Core A53 processor with LTE support, fingerprint reader, support for 2 SIM cards, fast charging 12V / 2A, 16MP camera with f/2.0 aperture, and has a 3.5mm headphone jack - bravo! On the Aliexpress page of this phone, you can find a more detailed specification - link . So, a completely average specification, not so bad, and nothing special.

According to ESET, Russian hackers use malware that can survive on a Windows computer even after a complete reinstallation of the system. The company discovered malware called " Lojax " that comes from a hacker group known as " Fancy Bear ". Malware crawls security shields (such as antivirus software) by mimicking the behavior of the LoJack tool. This tool protects your computer from theft, which means that it is definitely difficult to remove from your computer.

Almost every day on the Internet we can read the news that a new phone with great features has appeared. Each subsequent phone is even better than the previous one. After a while, users may lose track of what's happening in the world of phones. And what if we need a new phone? Which ones to take? Which is the best? But most importantly: who has everything I need ?

In the last few years, the fingerprint sensor in smartphones has become standard. We could divide the phones into two groups : 1. fingerprint sensor on the back, 2. fingerprint sensor on the front of the phone (there is a small percentage of phones on the side). I never took the phones from the first group into consideration when buying.

You may have seen on the Internet that somewhere in the specification of the phone you see the abbreviation " SOT ", so it was not clear to you what it was. In fact, the answer is very simple: " Screen On Time ". You can find out the SOT information only from the phone users themselves, for example on forums, blogs, comments on social networks, etc. The reason for that is that the manufacturer himself cannot, or does not want to, write how much the SOT is.

If you've ever wanted to see a satellite image of an area on the planet, you've probably opened Google Maps. But did you know that you can look at the history of those paintings and see how an area has changed? Yes, Google offers that option, but you need another tool - Google Earth .

You probably download content from Torrent by first downloading the Torrent file and then running it in a Torrent client and the download begins. These Torrent files are useful because they are small and help to download gigabytes of content. Read more about how Torrent works HERE .

Google Maps has a bunch of options and contains a lot of information, but one detail bothered me - the scale. Namely, if you removed the map view so that the whole world could be seen, countries and continents would not be in proportion. The most popular example is Greenland the size of Africa. Google has solved this problem by creating a 3D globe.

Patreon is slowly becoming popular in our region, while it is widely used abroad. But what exactly is Patreon? How does it work? How to use it? If you are encountering this service for the first time, I suggest you read this article first, I hope it will be much clearer to you. What is Patreon? Patreon is a service that offers users the opportunity to donate money to creators of online content. These can be, for example, creators of video clips, texts, and podcasts - and anyone can donate a certain amount of money to any creator.

More and more Chinese phones cost less and less, and according to the specifications they match some Flagship phones - how is that possible? Some even have better specifications and cost several hundred euros less. In this article, I will write and explain several methods they use.

I've noticed that Kodi's blog articles are quite popular. Many sent me messages to thank me, and some even asked for more similar texts. I also noticed that a lot of users ask to watch TV online through this blog mostly when there are matches. That's why I decided to write an article that will be about that. That way, I will meet the needs of most users who have submitted requests.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup is approaching! If you want to watch a live webcast, you can do so here. Since I love technology then I try to make the most of it. Watching TV channels over the Internet has become commonplace, and for many, it is the only possible way to watch TV content. Because of those people who can watch TV channels, we are watching the Internet, I am writing this article so that we can follow the World Cup.

Chrome has built-in protection against malicious sites, but Microsoft Edge has protection (SmartScreen) which, according to tests, is better. As users do not switch to Edge, and after so much effort that Microsoft has invested, they decided to make an add-on for Chrome.

Google presented a ton of interesting and useful news at the I / O conference this year as well. If you've watched the whole video (or live), you already know that Google has invested a lot in AI. This is to be expected, but, interestingly, they integrated the AI ​​into the daily activities of the users. So the user can now use AI quite normally as if interacting with a real person. I will briefly describe a few interesting things that Google presented here. At the end is a 14-minute video in which you can hear and see how it all works. 1. Complete sentences in Gmail

It used to be just Android, and today we have several versions. Each of these versions was created with the idea of ​​being as compatible as possible with a group of devices. And so now we have Stock Android, Android One, and Android Go. Many are worried about which version is for which devices and what is the difference between them, so here is an explanation in brief.

Personal assistants with artificial intelligence are improving more and faster as time goes on. We now have four leading AI assistants coming to us from four different companies. Of course, every company wants to have the best assistant, so tests are done to get ranking results.

You may have read these days that Google is testing a new design for Gmail . If you've seen the pictures and liked the new design, here's how you can enable it now. Sign in to your Gmail account if you haven't already Click on the settings in the upper right corner Click " Try the new Gmail "

More and more smartphones today have a built-in fingerprint sensor, or "Fingerprint". Whether placed forward, backward, or sideways, the way they function is the same. This article simply explains how this sensor works. The fingerprint works in much the same way as, say, that trackpad on a laptop, or any newer touch screen. These devices use capacitance to register a touch.

On almost all sites for watching TV Happy live channels, there are a lot of ads that cover the video player, and also on many sites, the links are not updated regularly. So I decided to update the links for live TV Happay here as much as possible and set up a player to watch without ads . I use the VLC player but only Firefox (32-bit) supports it so I always leave a stream link (or more) that you can copy and play via VLC player on your computer, or via Android phone. If a stream link does not work, feel free to log in via the blog's Facebook page in the messages (write-only, for example, check the link for TV Happy, etc.).

Google Maps offers a public transportation option that aims to help us choose public transportation for the requested route. It's a great option, and now they've upgraded it. Namely, PWDs (people with disabilities) who are in wheelchairs can choose the route option so that Google can offer them public transport adapted for them. Specifically, Google has added this option for all those who have difficulty moving, so it will be good for mothers who push children in strollers, but also for people who use crutches or some other walking aid.

Two-factor authentication is definitely desirable protection for your online accounts. But to enable this option, you must always have your phone with you to receive login codes. The problem arises when you do not receive an SMS, or it takes a long time to arrive. That's why applications for offline code generation such as Google Authenticator have been created. But even with that application, the process itself takes longer than when you just log in to the site without two-level protection.

Do you trust this URL: www. a pple.com? It looks like a link to the Apple site, but it's not! Don't you see what's wrong with that link? Don't worry, you're not the only one, most people won't notice the difference, and here's what it's all about. https://www.apple.com looks like a link to the Apple site, but it's actually another link that looks a lot like the original and leads to another site. The difference is in the letter "a", which is actually Unicode Cyrillic "a" (U + 0430), and not the standard ASCII "a" (U + 0061).

Messenger Lite is, as you might guess, a "lighter" version of the Messenger app for weaker devices. Facebook has made an effort, so it has improved this Lite version enough that we can use it without any problems instead of the standard application. However, the only option that was missing soon arrived here - video calls .

DxOMark has given its final rating for the Galaxy S9+ camera and it is 99 ! So far, DxOMark has not given this result to any camera in smartphones. So the Pixel 2 and iPhone X cameras are no longer the best cameras in smartphones.

Girls love elegant and trendy things. Today, smartphones , like it or not, are one of the most commonly used items in modern technology. I think that there are hundreds of models of mobile phones on the market in Serbia alone, so be smart: research the market before you start buying phones.

I haven’t written a VPN -related article in a while, despite getting a lot of questions about it. The reason why I did not write articles on this topic is that I tested VPN services, so I wanted to write a summary article. And here, it's time to write which VPN services were the best for me so far. When I say "best", I mean ME, the best for MY criteria. And what I watched was:

If you want to watch B92 online live with good image quality, take a look at one of these ways. Each of the ways contains instructions for viewing, and it is enough to have a solid internet connection. On almost all sites where B92 is broadcast live, some advertisements interfere only with watching the channel. I try to allow you to watch without any ads in the video player or those that pop up on the screen. Perhaps the easiest way for you will be the one via VLC player because you can watch without ads on full screen.

Google has launched AI (Artificial Intelligence), which can predict flight delays before the airline itself . Also, some information on why this delay will happen specifically for a flight. If you remember, I recently wrote an article about the fact that Google has completely redesigned Google Flights , and it seems that innovations are only related. I wrote in the plural because now they have introduced information about what you get and what you don't, along with your ticket. For example, do you have space in your class for things above your head or can you choose a place, etc. (shown in the animation below)?
