 Best VPNs for Windows in 2023 Best VPNs for Windows in 2023 Most people know that using a VPN is a great way to watch videos that are blocked in your area. But if you are new to VPNs, they need more explanation. VPNs encrypt the connection between your laptop, PC, or any device and the Internet. When using a VPN, your connection is routed through a VPN server first, and the location of that server can make it appear that you are in a different region. This is how they can get around these blocks. In addition to working on Windows, you can use the VPN on your Mac, iPhone, Android phone, and even many smart TVs, including Amazon Fire TV and Android TV. But since you are looking for a VPN for Windows, we will focus on that here. The good news is that every service provider's Windows app has more features than any other; whether you need or will use these depends on what you're going to use the VPN for, and they don't just unblock things; encryption means your online activity...

5 ways to improve your Wi-Fi without buying anything

 5 ways to improve your Wi-Fi without buying anything 5 Ways to Improve Your Wi-Fi Without Buying Anything Cruddy Wi-Fi performance is frustrating, but spending money to improve it is also costly when you can improve it without spending a dime. 1. Move your router to another room. Moving your router is one of the easiest ways to fix Wi-Fi problems. This is because the signal from your router radiates from the router in a roughly circular shape. The donut (or less, if it's in a corner) is inside your house and the rest is outside in your yard or your neighbor's apartment, and just moving your router from an outside wall to a central location will do wonders for your Wi-Fi experience as the router's "umbrella" is now inside your house. It depends on the most used spaces in your home, and the larger your home (as if you were living on a farm with lower utilities at the far end of the house), the greater the impact of moving the router to a central location. 2. Lift y...

Don't do this if you have an Android TV

Image
Don't do this if you have an Android TV Most connected televisions equipped with the Android TV operating system can be connected to the Internet by wire, using an Ethernet cable. But this solution is not necessarily the best to enjoy good performance. It is still common to hear and read that favoring a wired connection is a wise choice to benefit from a faster speed compared to Wi-Fi. This situation is true, at least in part. Indeed, by using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect your PC directly to your Internet box, you benefit from a more stable connection without signal interference. However, it is also likely that the Ethernet speed is lower than what you can claim when you are on Wi-Fi. This observation may not be made when talking about a connection between a box and a PC. On the other hand, when it comes to connecting a smart TV to a box, it is likely that you will experience a drop in speed. The reason for this is quite simple. TVs running Android TV limit wired speed In pr...

Twitter: how to continue to benefit from free two-factor authentication on the social network Twitter recently announced the end of free two-factor authentication by sending a secret and temporary code by SMS. Fortunately, there is another, always free, solution to protect your Twitter account from hackers. As of March 20, 2023, only Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to benefit from two-factor authentication via SMS to connect to their favorite social network. However, this type of authentication is essential to avoid having your account hacked. Luckily, you still have the option of using a mobile authenticator app to receive a verification code to enter each time you log into Twitter. This is the simplest alternative, even if it requires installing a dedicated application, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Manual You must then go to the settings of your Twitter account and, in the security section, turn on two-factor authentication. To register via an auth...

TikTok and disinformation: a new social network wants to change the codes! Social networks are great and terrible tools at the same time. Between misinformation and information, the barrier is (sometimes) very thin, and it is this assumption that prompted the two creators of Instagram to launch a new kind of application. Leaving Instagram to create a text-based TikTok You don't know them, and yet, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger are the two geniuses behind Instagram, a social network that needs no introduction and which in the space of ten years has become an absolute success! For those who are not familiar with the history of the sharing service, it is important to remember that in 2012, Instagram was bought for several million dollars by Facebook (now Meta). And even if the two men remained in charge of their baby for a few years, the two stooges finally left the ship, in 2018, after alleged disagreements with the big boss Mark Zuckerberg But now, today and five years later, the ...

Ideal for receiving reminders in the form of WhatsApp notifications, We also think of the possibility of reacting to a message with any emoji, not just a sho...
