Ah, digital technology, cross and delight of contemporary man. It is useless to deny it, now we are (almost) all deeply dependent. Smartphones, computers, tablets are our daily bread. However, there is a but: it is one thing to know how to use decently, another is to know in depth the “mysteries”, resolve the more technical aspects and all those problems that often make us want to throw these wonderful tools out the window . But fortunately there are computer geniuses like Salvatore Aranzulla, which on its website over the years responded to many questions that afflict the inexperienced people. The Aranzulla secret was just the get the perspective of those who know little or nothing of the appliances and must be led by the hand in the operations. Vanity Fair has identified ten key questions to which the famous Catanese expert had to respond. Here they are.
WhatsApp on your PC
A dream! Have all of your contacts at your keyboard, letting it rest your smartphone that is always running out of battery. It can be done in three different ways: by installing an official client (but only works with Windows 8 or higher and Mac OS X 10.9 and later), or via a web browser with Web WhatsApp, or even an Android emulator on pc . But Aranzulla recommends one of the first two, being the third to date unnecessarily complex. Here is the complete explanation.
app to download music
A delicate question. The proliferation of illegal music downloading is a now old phenomenon, but not to be underestimated. It is therefore correct to seek the best way to get music without breaking the law or spending a fortune. It starts, as expected, from Spotify Premium (9.99 Euros per month), to switch to Apple Music, which works in a similar way and costs the same, as well as Google Play Music. But there are also other, each with a different cut.
Choose the best smartphone
another big question mark. Aranzulla not only suggests that phone rather than the other. On the contrary, seeks to educate its audience, making it clear what are the elements to consider when evaluating a device. So the screen, with high resolution but also of the best kind; a large internal memory, because the outer ones slightly slow down the app; the now critical of 4G support; and then the strengths and weaknesses of Android and iOS; cameras; battery. In the article there is also a list of recommended smartphones, by price band.
Recover deleted photos on Android
Here it goes on the whole. If iOS is impossible to miss shots, with Android it can happen. But all is not lost; with special programs, you can go to recover that portion of memory where is the photo before it is overwritten by new data. There is, for example, PhotoRec, which restores all recoverable files of external memories, or DiskDigger or Undeleter, which in a very intuitive way, you can retrieve that data not yet disappeared completely from the phone memory. If this is your case, you run to read.
Choose the best antivirus for Android
Unlike computers, for phones is not yet widespread perception the importance of antivirus. Aranzulla suggests as basic rule to only install apps in the Play Store, but may not be enough. Therefore recommend what it considers to be the best defense systems for Android: Avast AVG Avira until the list is very long and thorough.
Update WhatsApp
For those who just are beginners, even a simple upgrade could be difficult. And in the case of WhatsApp, which is updated very often and with more interesting news, a failure to update could prevent to leverage all the functionality of the system. The small Aranzulla guide explains how to deal with the three major operating systems; for geeks also explains how to install the Beta version of the app, which anticipates the news does not even present in the normal version, but which may be even less stable.
Windows Update
And who can do it? Almost no one, rightly assumed the young expert. But it is crucial to keep your pc secure and efficient. Of course this applies to those systems for which Microsoft continues to release updates: XP is no longer supported for some time, while Vista, Windows 7, 8 / 8.x and 10 are kept up to date constantly. The greatest advice is to choose the setting that automatically installs updates. But in case of problems, the article also indicates how to solve them.
The problem of data roaming
A famous bogeyman from smartphones. Data Roaming occurs when your phone is using operators other than that we are guests; often it involves additional costs and in the past there have also been controversy in this regard. In Italy there is no problem almost since only the operator Three uses roaming, for GPRS, leaning on Tim. But when you go abroad it happens that our device has to rely on other operators, leading to additional costs, which have fortunately been recently regulated by the European Parliament. And then there are the flat-rate pricing plans: each operator has one, and if you use the phone frequently while on vacation, in principle, are convenient. The last part of the piece then explains how to do just about to activate roaming.
Choosing the right tablet
here, too, it is very difficult to navigate. As for the phones, it comes to finding the right balance between the various fundamental components of the instrument, evaluating them in relation to the price range choice. The main issues relate to the screen size (7.8 or 10 inches?); the presence or absence of a data connection (and not only Wi-Fi); the choice of operating system. And then the basic smattering of what are the convertible devices, that is, those large tablet that can assemble to a keyboard and become the notebook. At the end of the explanation, the list with buying tips.
When will steal your phone
a little ‘less virtual Finally a problem, but not so much. What to do when there is misappropriated the phone? The procedure is complex and must be performed in the fastest possible time. You have to lock your phone remotely via special websites or specific apps (previously installed); but if the thief has disconnected, you have to tell your operator IMEI code, which will block the sim and then the phone itself. This will make it virtually impossible to find the object, but at least it will prevent others from using it. There are forms to fill out, which vary depending on the operator. The article explains in detail these differences.
