Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

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.

Happy TV live

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 public transport routes adapted for wheelchair users

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.

Your tap style as a biometric login key on the site!

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.

"Unicode domain" phishing attacks and the problem with Cyrillic domains

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).

Video calls are coming to Messenger Lite

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 .

Galaxy S9+ camera got the highest DxOMark result!

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.
