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.

[Windows] How to create an invisible folder

[Windows] How to create an invisible folder

At the time when I got my first computer, games weren't that popular, so we researched the system, and the whole computer in general (at least I did).

After discovering something interesting, we try to use it to "challenge" each other.

For example, one of the most famous was the frozen screen: you take a picture of the desktop, put that picture as a background and hide the icons. The second most famous was setting up a loud sound effect as a startup sound.

At that time, I also learned to create an invisible folder. It was something very interesting because you could hide anything there since your parents didn't really manage with computers.

Preoccupied with strong games, today's children have a little expression of the computer and the system, which is why I am writing this article.

Instruction

Creating an invisible folder is very simple and does not require any additional tools, everything you need is already in Windows.

Right-click on the desktop and select "New > Folder".

Right-click on the desktop and select "New > Folder".

For the name, enter the invisible character that you will get by holding "Alt" and entering the number 255 via the Num keypad. If you fail, copy it from here (between quotes): " ".

For the name, enter the invisible character that you will get by holding "Alt" and entering the number 255 via the Num keypad. If you fail, copy it from here (between quotes): " ".

Now right-click on that folder and then "Properties > Customize > Change icon".

Scroll through the list until you come across an empty field. It is actually an icon that has nothing on it, it is completely transparent. In case you don't see a list like mine, just enter the following for the path at the top:

%SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll

Save it and that's it!

Scroll through the list until you come across an empty field. It is actually an icon that has nothing on it, it is completely transparent. In case you don't see a list like mine, just enter the following for the path at the top:

If you want to create more invisible folders, you must enter a space after each invisible character (alt + 255) for each subsequent one.

If you've lost an invisible folder somewhere on your desktop, just select the entire desktop with your mouse and you'll see it. Or just press ctrl + a.

Fix your photos with one click!

A new tool based on artificial intelligence has appeared, which fixes photos in the best possible way! This tool scans the photo and adjusts the parts to get the best possible lighting, colors, and details… even adding elements that the camera did not capture.

See how AI removes moving objects from video!

By Administrator
So far, we have had the opportunity to see how artificial intelligence (AI) manipulates images and videos very well. One of the more interesting, for users, AI features is removing objects from images. This is no longer news, nor is it that interesting (although it certainly is impressive), because AI can now remove moving objects from the image!

How to unlock Samsung phone if you forgot your PIN, password…?

By Administrator
Last year I wrote an article on how to unlock any Android phone if you forgot your PIN, password, or Pattern… but this method only works if you have the "Find my device" application. I didn't have one, so I looked for another solution. Luckily I have a Samsung phone because Samsung offers to unlock the device remotely! In fact, it offers locking, unlocking, locating, deleting, and backing up your phone over the internet, in a few clicks.

What is a VPN, should I use it and which one is good and free?

By Administrator
Updated (January 23, 2019) I suggest this VPN for 2019:  https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2019/01/this-premium-vpn-gives-free-17-gb-of.html As the problem of anonymity on the Internet grows, we try to protect our privacy in all possible ways. I have already written a lot of posts about how to protect yourself on the Internet, how to surf anonymously, how to install Tor , etc. so it would be advisable to read those posts. One of the options I like the most is VPN . Now, I also wrote about a VPN service that is quite good and free, but the problem with that service is that you have to change the code every 24 hours (which appears on the site) and the flow is a bit slower.
