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

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.

Video calls are coming to Messenger Lite

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.

The lack of video calls in this application was the only obstacle for many users to switch to the Lite version of Messenger. Yes, this version is intended for weaker devices, but the classic Messenger "eats" the battery, memory, and CPU on the Galaxy S7 phone, which is a fairly new model. So I was thinking of switching to Lite as soon as they introduced video calls.

Facebook stated that they are introducing video calls here as well because they are quite popular with users, which is confirmed by the doubling of the number of calls in 2017 compared to 2016 via Messenger.

They also stated that the use of video calling in Lite is the same as in the original application, which means that it is enough to tap the camera icon in the upper right corner of the correspondence window. The user you are inviting must approve the video call and after doing so you can start a video call. You can also switch to video chat with voice by clicking on the camera icon at the bottom of the screen.

But, what they did not clarify is whether the quality of the video will be the same, better, or worse, that is. whether it will have some kind of special compression (it would be good to implement the "PiedPiper" compression algorithm here). This is most important since Lite is intended for those who have weaker devices and who are in areas with a weak mobile signal (slow internet).

The Galaxy Note was ridiculed when it appeared, and now…

By Administrator
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.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

What is GLONASS?

By Administrator
If you've looked at the detailed specification of an Android or GPS device, you may have seen another term next to the GPS tag and didn't know exactly what it represents. Well,  GLONASS is a global navigation system that was started by the USSR in 1976, so this project could be taken over by Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

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.
