North Koreans learned how to hack into smartphones and circumvent government controls National authorities view hacking as a serious problem Although North Korea is stepping up efforts to prevent citizens from receiving information from outside the country, enthusiasts are finding ways to circumvent strict government controls on smartphones. The source interviewed two North Koreans who said they were able to circumvent these restrictions before they fled the country. In the hack, users bypass the phone's security and are able to install a variety of apps, photo filters, and media files that are blocked for most. The resale value of the phone can also be increased if it has such access and the ability to delete screenshots automatically taken with Trace Viewer, an app in every North Korean smartphone that takes random screenshots and prevents them from being deleted by the user. #NewsDay

Uninstaller: iObit Uninstaller The standard way of uninstalling software is not always effective. After uninstalling some programs, their files may remain on your computer, and some utilities refuse to leave your hard drive at all. That's why there are special cleaners that erase programs without a trace. One of the best uninstallers is iObit Uninstaller. It quickly scans your system for installed programs and allows you to remove unwanted software, including browser extensions, in batch mode. The program is free, but periodically shows ads (but you can always find a key for the pro version).

For every occasion Keep an installation flash drive with the latest version of Windows in your desk drawer. It may not come in handy, but as the saying goes, it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. #Useful

A whole new type of RAM. Dell unveiled CAMM modules that could become the new industry standard They will appear in Precision notebooks. The basic idea is to save space. One module actually combines two sets of memory chips, that is, it replaces two SO-DIMM modules. The CAMM module is 57% thinner, and the dual-sided version can be up to 128GB. In this case, one module will replace four 32 GB SO-DIMMs. Another curious detail is that the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB modules will run at 4800MHz, while the 128GB module will run at only 3600MHz, which is very low for DDR5. #NewsDay

Cyclic switching between open tabs. Pressing Ctrl + Tab in the browser triggers switching between them (Ctrl + Shift + Tab in reverse). This can be much faster than moving the mouse and clicking on a tab. Ctrl + Num (1, 2, 3, 4, n ...) will also take you to a certain tab. The Ctrl + 9 key combination always brings you to the most recent tab, even if it is beyond the ninth tab. #Useful
