PrivadoVPN review: the new budget VPN you can use for free

PrivadoVPN is a new virtual private network that launched in 2019 and has earned praise for its affordable prices and good free version.
The free version of PrivadoVPN lets you use 10 GB of data every 30 days and access to 13 servers in 10 countries. The paid plans offer 66 servers in 49 countries for great geo-unlocking and privacy protection.
The prices of PrivadoVPN are very affordable and you can save more with a longer subscription. A yearly subscription costs only $36, while a two-year subscription goes for $48.
The VPN has servers in 66 cities within 49 countries and supports up to 10 simultaneous connections, protecting all your computers, phones, tablets, and smart TVs.
PrivadoVPN’s primary functions happen in a tiny window with a quick connect button that starts the VPN with the last server you selected or the closest server for time use.
Although the speed of PrivadoVPN is inconsistent, it was fast enough for streaming video, and latency was as good as that of competitors when connecting to an overseas server.
PrivadoVPN offers split-tunneling to use the VPN on some apps and not others, and family-oriented blocking of dating, substance abuse, gambling, and adult content websites.
PrivadoVPN primarily offers support via email with limited chat hours. The VPN is located in Switzerland and collects minimal data, making it safe and private to use.
The free version of PrivadoVPN is among the best free VPNs for your computer or phone, with good servers spread over 10 countries.

The launch of AMD's flagship Navi 48 is expected at CES 2025, with the Navi 44 following in Q2 2025.

What is CPU usage, and how to fix high CPU usage

High CPU usage could be to blame for your PC freezing, going slow, or running into hitches where it shouldn’t.
CPU, also known as the central processing unit, acts as the brain of the computer.
The better the CPU, the more tasks you can simultaneously perform without a hitch.
Checking CPU usage on Windows is simple - just open the Task Manager.
CPU usage should be anywhere between 1% and 10% just through Windows processes alone but if it's higher than that, something might be wrong.
There are a few steps to fix high CPU usage, such as restarting your computer, checking open processes, scanning for viruses and malware, updating drivers and software, cleaning your PC, and running system restore.
Reinstalling Windows should be your last resort if all the other steps failed and you still cannot pinpoint the reason for high CPU usage.
High CPU usage can cause wear and tear and may lead to freezing and crashes.
Some notable CPU-heavy programs include video and photo editing software, encoding and decoding software, CPU-heavy games, browsers with many tabs open, video or photo converters, and benchmarking programs.
If your CPU usage is constantly high, it's bad and there is a reason for concern.

Your free Internet is coming to an end and there's nothing you can do about it

After almost three decades of free content access from everything from newspapers to recipes, CNN.com is putting up a paywall to limit the number you can see for free and prompt you to subscribe for $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year.
CNN.com is not alone in this. It is reported that The Verge is considering a paywall and similar discussions are underway at every free website. The reason for this is that good content from news posts to videos is expensive to make and traditional advertising is failing.
Even without those forces, traditional media like CNN is struggling because a large segment of the online audience is getting their news elsewhere, usually YouTube or TikTok.
There are strategies honed on websites like The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Business Insider, where you find ways to see more than your share of free content. This method involves opening another browser window in Private Browsing so that the website does not know how often the viewer has seen their content. However, this method usually works for a single post only.
The World Wide Web was launched for free almost by accident. The Web grew so fast that no one had time to figure out a decent economic model. Traditional advertisers gained access to it and got the eyeballs they wanted. This, however, led to the inefficient generation of ads, which eventually slid down.
It has been almost two decades since free internet started being unsustainable, but reality is now catching up to our consumption. The notion of a full-time free internet was unsustainable, and now we must adjust to the costly side of the paywall.

NICE DCV is now Amazon DCV with 2024.0 release

NICE DCV has been rebranded to Amazon DCV with the 2024.0 release along with several fixes and enhancements for improved performance, security, and ease of use.
Amazon DCV provides high-performance remote display protocol that enables you to securely deliver remote desktops and application streaming from any cloud or data center to any device.
Using Amazon DCV with Amazon EC2, you can run graphics-intensive applications remotely on EC2 instances and then stream results to client machines which eliminates the need for expensive dedicated workstations.
DCV supports Windows and major Linux operating systems on the server side and the client side could be the native DCV client for Windows, Linux, or macOS or web browsers.
DCV remote server and client transfer only encrypted pixels, not data, so no confidential data is downloaded from the DCV server and the services scale globally.
DCV has been used by several industries such as healthcare, game development, ERP services provider, automotive engineers, geoscientists, engineers in manufacturing, and IT support industries for collaborative sessions.
AppStream 2.0 uses DCV to offer secure, reliable, and scalable application streaming while Amazon WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol (WSP), which is built on DCV and optimized for high performance, is available for Amazon WorkSpaces customers.
DCV 2024.0 supports latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and enables the QUIC UDP protocol by default with the capability to blank the Linux host screen when a remote user is connected, preventing local access and interaction with the remote session.
Amazon DCV is free of charges when used on AWS. You only pay for the usage of AWS resources or services.
Overall, Amazon DCV is a powerful tool to connect your cloud and data center to your client devices with high performance, security, and scalability.

Acer’s 57-inch ultrawide is the most insane monitor I’ve ever reviewed

The Acer Predator Z57 is a 57-inch, 32:9, ultra-wide gaming monitor that has over 1,000 nits of peak brightness.
It has excellent image quality, with color coverage and accuracy on par with some of the best OLED monitors.
It has dual 4K resolution and features a USB-C input with 90W of power delivery.
The physical size of the Predator Z57 makes it unwieldy and challenging to set up on your desk.
The picture-by-picture mode on Predator Z57 locks your refresh rate to 60Hz if you use 4K for both sources.
The Predator Z57's gaming experience falls short since many games don't support a 32:9 aspect ratio.
The monitor is expensive, costing $2,000, and physically too massive for many desks.
The Acer Predator Z57 is an impressive technical achievement, but it's not the right monitor for most people.
If you're interested in an ultra-wide monitor, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 provides a similar experience at a lower price of around $1,300.
The Predator Z57 has excellent specifications and image quality, but its high cost, physical size, and limited gaming support may not be worth it for many people.
