2021-12-14 11:21:13 How special services find even deleted files.

The easiest way is data recovery software: R-Studio, RecoverMyFiles or Photorec. They will find the files that you deleted.

If you physically destroy a hard disk, then this also does not give a 100% guarantee of security — the platters of the hard disk can be rearranged to another PC and the data can be restored.

The way out of the situation is this: you can change the attributes of files, for example, the date and time of creation, and the evidence can be invalidated. The Timestomp utility is suitable for such actions.

2021-12-13 19:00:13 Google Voice Assistant will eavesdrop on us more often.

Soon, Google's voice assistant will be able to execute commands without the activation phrase "Ok Google". The new feature is called "Quick Phrases".

After enabling this function, the assistant goes into standby mode when a call comes in or an alarm goes off. If at this moment you are unable to react, you can simply say “answer”, “reject” or “stop”. The downside is that for this, the smartphone will eavesdrop on you, waiting for the right words.

2021-12-13 12:00:09 How to disable tracking email.

The letters that you send by mail may contain tracking, which will inform the recipient that you have read his letter or followed the link in the letter.

To avoid this, I recommend installing Trocker, an extension for Chrome and Firefox.

It blocks email trackers and prevents them from tracking what you do with the emails you receive.

For this, hat.sh is perfect — a file encryption site that does not upload your files to its server (unlike other services), but performs encryption and decryption right in the browser. This is a great plus for your privacy.

How to use the site:

Select a file to encrypt.
Enter the password.
Click “Encrypted file” to encrypt the file.

To decrypt the file, select "Decryption" and repeat the same steps.

You can do this using the portable Windows Privacy Dashboard tool.

WPD allows you to disable telemetry and ad identification, manage privacy settings, remove built-in Windows apps, and detect tracking systems.

To use it, download the program and configure the settings you need. If you're not sure about the settings, there is a question mark icon next to the options to see what specifically gets disabled.

2021-12-10 10:50:01 How to find other people's files in Google Drive.

Google Drive stores billions of publicly available files, but the built-in search only lets you dig into its own storage.

You can work around this problem with the help of a special search engine De Digger, which searches publicly available files on all other people's disks for key phrases.

To use it, you just need to follow the link, indicate what you want to find, and click on the search button.
