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.

"Revive" ancestral photos with this free app

"Revive" ancestral photos with this free app

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video worth? So if the video lasts 10 seconds then it is worth 300,000 words considering that the video has 30 FPS.

Now imagine having a video of your ancestor? You'd love it, wouldn't you? Well, if you have a picture of that person, you can make a video from just that one picture!

How? Artificial intelligence!

Deep Nostalgia is a tool developed by the company MyHeritage, which is known for its service for creating and merging family trees - which I wrote about.

They made several AI tools that focused on old images. They recently created an AI tool that enhances and colors old black and white images. Now they have gone a step further and made one that converts an image into a video.

Deep Nostalgia

How does this tool work? Unlike most similar ones, this one works very simply. All you have to do is create a free MyHeritage account, upload the image and wait for the tool to download the video. The result is amazing!

The strongest feeling for me was when I watched the first video - as if that person was there, alive.

In the example above you can see what it looks like. You have more examples and frequently asked questions on the tool page itself.

They don't normally insert audio into the video for the reason that someone wouldn't make fake videos (DeepFake), but they made one purely to show what the tool can do.

If you want to "revive" the photos of your ancestors, you can do it HERE. By the way, you can process only 5 images with a free account. If you want to process more images for free, then you can use temporary mail addresses, and if you forbid it, then you can use this method.

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 ".

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.
