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.

Remove background from video or GIF with one click

Remove background from video or GIF with one click

Some time ago I wrote about an AI tool that automatically removes wallpaper from images. Wouldn't it be nice to have a similar tool that removes wallpaper from video clips and GIF animations? There is!

Unscreen is a free * online tool from the same company that automatically removes wallpaper from videos and GIF animations no matter what's in the background. In other words: you can remove the background without using a green screen (green screen).

When the tool is done removing the background, you will have the option to set something else as the background: color, image, video. If you don't want any of that, then you can choose "Transparent" and download the GIF without a background.

How well does it work?

They put a couple of examples on the site that is very well processed, but I failed to get such results.

Here is an example from their site:

Although, I noticed that the best results are given by recordings and animations that do not have much movement. Probably more complex actions make it harder for artificial intelligence to recognize and remove the background.

You also have the option to choose a GIF directly on their site. I tested with one (picture above) and I was very pleased with the result. They probably put GIF animations there that can be processed nicely.

Price?

* The tool is free but you are limited to the length of the result, you will have a watermark in the lower right corner, you will not be able to download the result in full resolution, and you can only download it in GIF format (even when processing a video clip).

If you buy the PRO version then you get the ability to download the results in video format, you do not have a watermark, the full length of the image, the full resolution, or the ability to use the API.

For now, there is no price for the PRO version, the only thing you can do is sign up for the waiting list. If you do that now, you will also get some bonus credits.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

Controversial U.S. anti-piracy laws, known by the acronyms SOPA and PIPA lost the support of eight members of Congress after major protests by the Internet community.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Wireless phone chargers - where, which and how to buy?

Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them,  which I already wrote about .
