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.

How to change the partition icon in Windows?

How to change the partition icon in Windows?

Ever wanted to change the partition or drive icon? The default icons are quite ok, but someone would still like to personalize their system as much as possible.

First, where to find icons? The easiest way is to just type the name of the icon into Google and download one. If you want to browse the gallery because you have nothing specific in mind, then I recommend these sites: icons8, iconfinder, freeicons.io, and iconarhive.

Instruction

Changing the partition icon (or any other drive) is a very simple process, but there is a tool that makes the process even easier - Drive Icon Changer.

When you download the tool, run it as an administrator and accept the installation of the .NET Framework package.

Now select the drive you want to change the icon and the icon you want to set. Click "Save".

Now select the drive you want to change the icon and the icon you want to set. Click "Save".

A notification will appear stating that the icon has been successfully replaced, click "OK". After that, the program will ask you to restart the system and do it so that the changes are applied.

Instruction

When the computer restarts, you will see a new icon. The icon is located in the root of that partition as a hidden file so you don't have to save it to the computer where you originally downloaded it.

This program actually shortens the process of manually changing the icon. When you assign an icon to a partition, the icon is copied to that partition and an Autorun.inf file is created. The contents of this file are as follows: 

[autorun]
ICON=Drive.ico

Of course, the name of the icon will be different. Basically, that file is in charge of keeping information about which icon should be set for that drive. That's why it's important not to delete the icon or that file.

You can also change the icon with USB sticks with this method.

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.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

By Administrator
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.

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.
