Welcome! This blog is dedicated to the Internet and computers, or rather was dedicated to them.

It’s probably immediately obvious that no new articles have appeared on the site for many years. Yes, this is the fate of most blogs. This project was once an ambitious undertaking, and the author, like many others writing at the time, had ambitious plans to become one of the best Russian bloggers. Well, if you look now, of those blogs that were created simultaneously with mine, most have already disappeared into eternity. And I just simply didn’t have enough time to blog. So yeah, it's not updated anymore. Although we once won the “Runet Blog 2011” competition with this site.

I even had the idea of ​​deleting all this, but then I reviewed the old materials and realized that they could still be useful to readers. Yes, some articles are outdated (if I have enough strength, they will be marked accordingly), but the site, for example, can be useful for beginners - here you can read about the basic concepts of the Internet, learn how to set up the Internet, Windows, or even decide to switch to Linux. So take a look at the categories and choose the one that suits you.

And yet, I hope that this is more than just a blog, but a real guide to the Internet. The site can be viewed in directory mode, where all available articles are structured by categories. And, who knows, maybe one day new high-quality articles will start appearing here.

Picodi.ru is a discount portal from International Coupons, a Polish expert in the field of savings and cheap shopping. The Poles are considered one of the most frugal nations in the world, so it is not surprising that this type of project grew out of the Polish startup kodyrabatowe.pl. How can this portal be useful to the average Internet user in Russia?

Modern Android phones are more than just phones. You get used to the set installed programs, to your call history and text messages, photo collections and much more. But time is running, and the device that suits you completely begins to slow down, glitch, or simply loses its presentable appearance due to chips on the body or scratches on the screen. The question arises of choosing a new phone and changing android phone. And if we now bypass the question of choice, then “moving” to new phone remains a serious problem - I absolutely don’t want to start all the data from scratch. This is what we will talk about today.

Most of the readers of this blog have most likely never encountered version control systems and will not encounter them in the near future. It's a pity. This extremely convenient invention is quite widely used by programmers, but, in my opinion, it could also be very useful for those who actively work with texts. But, probably, now there is not a single version control system that would be easy to start using for “office” ( Microsoft Office) work. Nevertheless, I think that the material presented in the article may be of interest to all readers.

If you have been wondering how to watch movies online and access the Internet from your TV, this article is for you. No, I know that some TVs already have Smart TV functionality, but I have never seen it work properly.

It's about about the Chromecast media streamer, a more advanced and affordable version of last year's disastrous Nexus Q player.

Chromecast dongle, the size of which does not exceed 2 inches, is connected to the port HDMI TV and allows you to enjoy watching streaming web content. To control the streamer, you can use any device (tablet, PC, smartphone) based on the operating system iOS platform, Windows, Android or Mac OS.

This article is devoted to the design of the system android memory, problems that may arise due to its lack and ways to solve them. Not long ago I myself was faced with the fact that my phone is on android base began to regularly display messages about low memory when trying to install this or that application. Which was very strange for me, given that according to the description on the market there should have been about 16GB, and I also increased this volume using additional card memory. However, there was a problem, and I had to tinker a lot before I found correct solution, which does not require obtaining root access or completely restoring the phone to its factory state.
