If you notice an abnormal slowdown of your PC, or your system acts in a strange way when you surf the web, opening endless pop-ups on every click, even on Google, perhaps your computer is affected by Malware or Spyware. These, at times, especially malware, are harmless and simply redirect you to advertising pages (Adware), …
Maybe you have already noticed, but very often when you connect a new monitor to the video card colours are not used to the full, making the overall enjoyment of contents not as good as it should be. All this is caused by Windows and drivers that, when they detect a new monitor, set an inappropriate colour profile. With the correct colour profile in fact the blacks will be much “blacker” and, in general, colours will feel truer and much more “alive”. Now let’s see how to fix this problem.
If you use DVI or HDMI to connect your monitor, this small fix that will automatically set the right level of RGB (0-255). Method:

Android is a very flexible operating system. Compared to competing platforms like iOS and Windows Phone, it gives more freedom of action to the user, but this evident advantage means taking some more risks about informatics safety.
The opportunity to install apps from external sources, “outside” the Google Play Store, and the pretty wide spread of the operating system (it’s the most used platform in the world, as regards smartphones) has meant that Android attracted some unpleasant attentions from cybercriminals, who create malwares aimed to spy the users’ activities, collecting their data and sometimes activating some very expensive premium services by SMS.
To protect yourself from this kind of risk, you need to use your own smartphone/tablet wisely, avoiding downloads of apps from external sources (but it must be said that sometimes, viruses have been found even on the Play Store, disguised as innocuous games or apps) and, if possible, installing a good antivirus: there are many of them, even for free, without slowing the system down at all, and getting to guarantee a great level of protection. If you want, I can suggest you some of the best ones around and teach you how to delete Android viruses by using them. It won’t take long, I promise.
Before we take a look to the best antimalware apps currently available on Android, let’s clear up an important point: to reasonably rest easy, you should just download apps from safe sources only, so from the Play Store only, from developers with proven reliability, and don’t root the Android system.

Nvidia, a leading graphics card manufacturer, has recently announced new GPUs based on its next-generation Pascal architecture. The Nvidia Titan X is a step above the 1080 GTX, while the new Nvidia Quadro is suited to the professional sector.
The new Nvidia Titan X promises benefits that are 50% greater than the 1080 GTX.
According to Nvidia, the Titan X is able to offer performance up to 50% higher than the company’s previous flagship, the 1080 GTX, which was already the most powerful GPU at the time. While the latter only boasted with 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM memory with a 256-bit bus, the Nvidia Titan X has 12 GB and a 384-bit bus, with a consumption of 250 W – just 70W superior to GTX 1080 and just as much as the old GTX Titan X.
Before selling any computer, smartphone or tablet, it is essential to protect your privacy by formatting the device. Formatting – as you surely know already – is a process by which you delete all files on a drive keeping it serviceable.
Be careful though: simple formatting is not enough. To make sure that your old data has been truly deleted and cannot be subsequently recovered with some specialist software (like the ones I mentioned in the tutorial on how to recover photos on Android), you need to overwrite all the empty space on the drive using a process called “wiping”.
I know that it may seem like a tricky thing to do – a prerogative of experienced users – but it really is not so. In order to prove it, I will now explain how to format Android and how to “wipe” a smartphone or a tablet using some free apps. I bet you will be surprised by how simple it is!
Before formatting your device, save a backup copy of all its files and apps. There are a lot of apps suitable for the purpose, and I will point some out to you right away:

Install one of those on your smartphone, and you’ll finally free yourself from worries of losing texts, contacts, photos, videos, calendar appointments or any other data saved on the device’s memory.
Be careful though: the most effective and complete apps for Android’s backup need the root. This means that – if you haven’t done it yet – you must read my guide about how to root Android and unlock you phone, by following its instructions. Then, roll up your sleeves and find out precisely how to make an Android backup, with the instructions I’m giving to you. I assure you everything will be easier than you think.

Are you trying to restore or update your iPhone, but you can’t complete the operation due to unusual error messages shown in iTunes? Don’t panic. Before you call Apple support service, or even think about a replacement of your apple phone, try to reset the device through DFU mode.
The DFU (acronym for Device Firmware Update) is a modality that lets you reinstall or update the iPhone firmware, bypassing its boot loader, so avoiding all those obstacles and troubles that sometimes could make iTunes freeze or crash.
You have decided to sell your iPhone but do not know how to restore it and erase all data on the device? You have been noticing strange malfunctions that make your iPhone lose connection or “get stuck” from time to time? Do not despair: I am here today to explain how restore an iPhone and deal with this kind of situations.
What are you saying? You are not very good when it comes to technology and you are afraid that my suggestions are going to be too hard to follow or too complex for you? You have no reason to worry – I can assure you of that. You do not need to be a computer whiz or use any kind of specialist software to reset an iPhone, you have my word. The only thing you are actually going to need is a few spare minutes, together with a little patience and attention – nothing else.
How many times have I told you? Photos you take with your smartphone should not stay on the phone’s memory: you need to transfer them regularly to your PC and back them up on HDDs and memory cards.
But you did not listen, and now you find yourself with a dozen photos you liked very much simply vanished into thin air. What are you saying? Are you blaming some app that promised to delete useless files and picture duplicates? It does not matter.
The damage is done and now you have to try to fix it. Roll up your sleeves right away and find out how to recover Android photos thanks to the apps I am going to recommend you in the following paragraphs; with a bit of luck you will be able to recover all the lost shots.
