In order to get as much money as possible, browser developers actively conduct commercial surveillance of all user actions.

Fortunately, there is an application that absolutely does not spy on users. Ungoogled Chromium is a Chromium-based browser.

It is much safer than Google Chrome, it has no binding to Google services. Google Chromium does not have trackers, host detectors and other tools that determine your IP address.

2021-12-28 16:00:16 How to turn a phone into a Listening device

From any you can make a listening device to record all the sounds in the room while you are not there. For example, to know what is being discussed when you are not around. Or use it as a baby monitor.

The Ear Agent app will help you with this for Android - it transmits all the sound to the headphones. All you need to do is to give access to the microphone, connect the wireless headphones and press the button in the center of the screen. We leave the phone where we want and move away. Now the app broadcasts all the ambient sound to your headphones in real time.

If the sound is fuzzy, try adjusting the equalizer and lowering the frequencies down. Then everything will be heard perfectly.

If you have iOS, you don't need to download anything — connect AirPods, go to the "Control Point" and activate the "Hearing" mode. Now you can hear all the conversations in your headphones. Use it!

2021-12-28 10:00:38 How to Find Lost AirPods

Here’s a true method to track down your missing AirPods:

Open the Find My app on your or a .

Sign in with your Apple ID. You will see the AirPods under “My Devices”.

If your AirPods were charged up when you lost them, their status will be “Online”. In this case you can see their live location on the map.

If your AirPods are offline, you can try to tap them for their last known location. Sometimes this won’t work. If that’s the case, you’re probably going to have to go on a scavenger hunt.

You can follow the beep, which will get increasingly louder until you find your AirPods.

If you find them, press the “Mute Left” and “Mute Right” buttons that appear on-screen to cut the beeping sound and focus on one at a time if they were lost separately.

Good luck!

2021-12-27 20:00:01 Your Smart TV can bring you problems

A hacked smart TV presents problems on many levels.

A prankster could switch channels on you, order movies you don’t want, or blast the volume when you least expect it. On another level, a hacked TV can have a direct impact on your security and safety. Hackers can mine your TV apps for payment information and can use your TV as a gateway to get into other connected devices in your home.

Many manufacturers set the same default passwords for the same type of devices, and often users don’t change them. So, if you have 10 network-connected devices and at least 1 of them you didn’t take care of—the whole network is compromised .

Change your passwords every 3-6 months to protect yourself!
