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.

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

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

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.

Samsung is one of the few companies that does not use Notch, and yet makes phones with a large Screen-to-body ratio. However, Samsung also failed to make a phone with a 100% StB ratio, but that will soon change. Here's why.

Samsung Display held the "2018 Samsung OLED Forum" in China on October 18 and presented interesting innovations. They talked about the various under-display options they are developing, including:

  • FoD - Fingerprint on Display
  • UPS - Under Panel Sensor
  • HoD - Haptic on Display
  • SoD - Sound on Display
  • Under Screen Camera

The camera below the screen is especially interesting, and apparently, it will work as follows: the screen above the camera becomes completely transparent when it is activated, otherwise it displays the image.

These are all technologies that Samsung is working on, and this is exactly the direction in which Samsung is going in terms of the phone design for next year. So we can expect Samsung phones very soon that will have maybe 100% screen coverage on the front of the phone. If that happens, Samsung will successfully skip the Notch era and hopefully end it.

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
