Google Chrome: How to reduce Memory and CPU consumption

Image
Google Chrome is one of the most used browsers in the world by millions of users thanks to its design, versatility and search potential, but like any system made by humans, it is included to errors and one of the most notable by the user is the error associated with excessive CPU consumption. This slows down normal operating system operations, application crashes, computer restarts, and more. Although there is no exact reason on the part of Google as to why this happens, I will bring you some practical advice for its correction. Due to this bad management of the browser, our system is negatively affected by that incessant consumption of resources that ends up collapsing our usual use. If we have several tabs or windows open, consumption will be significantly increased and what to say if we also have many extensions installed. Do not allow Google Chrome and its applications to run in the background Google Chrome allows staying loaded in memory even when we close the brow

What is Blockchain Technology

Image
Blockchain is a technology that allows the transfer of data in a completely secure way thanks to a very sophisticated coding . It is usually compared to a company ledger where all the inflows and outflows of money are recorded. Of course, in this case, we would be talking about a digital event book. Talking about Blockchain is talking about the technology (the information coding system) that is behind Bitcoin. However, its function goes further. It is also used to create other cryptocurrencies that are based on the same principles but have other properties (policy, algorithm, etc.). The Blockchain contributes to a great novelty. And it is that this  transfer does not need an intermediary  to verify and approve the information, but it is distributed in several independent nodes that register and validate it. Thus, once the  information is entered it cannot be deleted, only new records can be added . Furthermore, it will not be legitimized unless the majority of them agree to

Once the need is identified, your business is ready to transform the way you work by implementing  Microsoft Teams. But before introducing your employees to your new collaborative and communication tool for file sharing, it's important to consider how Microsoft Teams can support your security and compliance needs.

Zoom rolled out new security tools

The US Senate has asked its members to stop using Zoom because of their privacy concerns. Also the Governments of Germany and Taiwan. Elon Musk's SpaceX did the same on its employees' computers. And recently it has been Google, a direct rival, the company that has banned the use of this popular video calling application. All this controversy arises as a result of different security and privacy problems revealed in recent weeks. The first one is that through the screen sharing option, a public link of the video call is automatically generated, something that allows access to anyone who intercepts this link. It is not the only problem, as Zoom would not have, according to The Intercept, end-to-end encryption for its video calls. This is coupled with news reports that Zoom has shared thousands of user data without your permission. Now, to deal with this situation, Zoom has hired Alex Stamos, former Chief Security Officer of Yahoo and Facebook, as a security and protection a
