Windows/Mac/Linux: A few months ago, Opera launched its own free, built-in VPN, but you could only get it if you manually enabled it in the dev version of the browser. Now, it’s available for everyone in the stable version of Opera.
If you want to use Opera’s VPN, you’ll still need to enable it in the settings, but everyone should have the option available, no matter which version of Opera you use. To turn it on, follow these steps:
  1. Go to Settings (“Preferences” on Mac).
  2. Click “Privacy & Security”
  3. Enable the VPN.
After that, an icon labeled “VPN” will show up in the browser to the left of the address field. Here, you can pick what location you want to appear from, or temporarily turn off the VPN when you need to.
Download Opera 40 and let us know what you think about the built-in VPN and the rest of the new features then thank me Later.

A virtual private network, also known as a VPN, is a private network that extends across a public network or internet. It enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.
VPNs essentially forward all your network traffic to the network, which is where the benefits – like accessing local network resources remotely and bypassing Internet censorship – all come from. Most operating systems have integrated VPN support.

What Is a VPN?

When you connect your computer (or another device, such as a smartphone or tablet) to a VPN, the computer acts as if it’s on the same local network as the VPN. All your network traffic is sent over a secure connection to the VPN. Because your computer behaves as if it’s on the network, this allows you to securely access local network resources even when you’re on the other side of the world. You’ll also be able to use the Internet as if you were present at the VPN’s location, which has some benefits if you’re using pubic Wi-Fi or want to access geo-blocked websites.
When you browse the web while connected to a VPN, your computer contacts the website through the encrypted VPN connection. The VPN forwards the request for you and forwards the response from the website back through the secure connection. If you’re using a USA-based VPN to access Netflix, Netflix will see your connection as coming from within the USA.

Question 1: When your laptop’s battery is 100% charged, should you leave it plugged in so any battery power doesn’t get used, or will that cause overcharging, overheating, etc.? Should the laptop be unplugged when the battery level is 100%?

 Question 2: When I’m at home, is it better to use the laptop plugged into AC power, or with just the battery, for the overall battery life?

 Should you leave your laptop plugged in and charging when you’re not on-the-go? What’s best for the battery? What’s best for your user experience? Read on 

 I am quite sure most of us must have been curious about the above questions. Well lets discuss what is best for your laptop batteries.

Answers:


The answer to the question isn’t a cut and dry “Yes, leave it tethered” or “No, unplug it”  because of the variety of laptop designs, their battery types, and the integrated charging circuit that recharges the battery. That said, the insights provided by SuperUser contributors cover the most common scenarios laptop owners will come across. Contributor Charles Roper writes:
It won’t make all that much difference. What will shorten battery life is temperature: If it gets hot, it will shorten the battery life. Best thing to do, if you are able, is to remove the battery while you’re at home and keep it somewhere cool.

Hard drives are getting larger and larger, but somehow they always seem to fill up. This is even more true if you’re using a solid-state drive (SSD), which offers much less hard drive space than traditional mechanical hard drives.
If your hard drive is getting filled up and you want try to free up some space, these tricks should help you free up space for important files and programs by removing the unimportant junk cluttering up your hard disk.

Run Disk Cleanup

Windows includes a built-in tool that deletes temporary files and other unimportant data. To access it, right-click one of your hard drives in the Computer window and select Properties.
(Alternatively you can just search for Disk Cleanup in the Start Menu.)
Click the Disk Cleanup button in the disk properties window.
Select the types of files you want to delete and click OK. This includes temporary files, log files, files in your recycle bin, and other unimportant files.
You can also clean up system files, which don’t appear in the list here. Click the Clean up system files button if you also want to delete system files.

Windows 10 includes bunch of personalization settings that let you change your desktop background, windows colors, lock screen background, and more. Here is what you need to know to get your computer looking exactly how you want it.

 We’re going to be talking about the Personalization settings Windows makes available at Settings > Personalization, so you might as well go ahead and try your hand on the various options available . There are certainly other ways you can customize your computer’s look, though, such as configuring folder options to display files the way you want or setting up Action Center how it makes sense to you.

Change Your Windows Background

The first set of options you can change control your desktop background and they should look pretty familiar to you if you’ve been using Windows for a while.
To use a picture as your background, choose “Picture” from the “Background” drop-down menu. Just like in previous versions, Windows 10 comes with a few pictures to choose from or you can click “Browse” and locate your own picture.

Windows 10 is supposed to automatically update itself. But it might take weeks or longer for a big update like the Anniversary Update to reach your PC. Here’s why that happens–and how to skip the wait.



You Recently Upgraded to Windows 10 or the November Update


If you just recently upgraded your PC to Windows 10–or upgraded from the initial version of Windows 10 to the Windows 10 November Update–you won’t be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Update for 30 days.
That’s because you have 30 days to downgrade to your previous version of Windows. During this period, Windows won’t automatically download and install the Anniversary Update or any other major new builds.
To check if you’re within that 30 day period, head to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. If you see a “Go back to Windows 7”, “Go back to Windows 8.1”, or “Go back to an earlier build” option here, you’re within that downgrade period. If you don’t see any option to roll back here, this isn’t your problem.
