​​💯 4 services to check if YouTube videos are fake or not

Thousands of new videos are added to YouTube every day, but it can be difficult to distinguish what is true and what is fake. There are many convenient services for verifying the authenticity of videos, and we found the four best ones.

1️⃣ YouTube Metadata. The service does a comprehensive analysis of video metadata. You will find out when, where and by whom the video was published. You can even find out the exact number of subscribers and views. It is enough to send a link to the video.

2️⃣ Extract Meta Data. To double-check whether the previous service was wrong, this site also checks the metadata. It will tell you when and at what time the video was uploaded to the video hosting. Insert the link and click "Go".

3️⃣ YouTube Geofind. A useful tool that searches for videos by geolocation. Select an area on the map and you will see all the videos that are uploaded from this place. This will help to understand whether the video was posted by an eyewitness or uploaded by someone else.

4️⃣ Frame-by-frame. The site decomposes the video into frames and slows it down so that you can see important details in the video that are invisible during normal viewing. Just insert the link and click "Watch video".

🕸 A messenger that works without Internet access

The Bridgefy App lets you send offline messages to friends and family within 330 ft (100 m) when you don't have access to Internet, by simply turning on your Bluetooth antenna. Bridgefy is ideal for traveling, natural disasters, rural communities, music festivals, sports stadiums, and much more.

Use the Broadcast tab of the app so you can chat with other Bridgefy users within your Bluetooth's antenna range during tough times in which Internet connectivity is complicated. All messages sent through the Bridgefy messaging app mesh networks are encrypted. Please keep in mind Broadcast messages can be seen by anybody nearby.

How to start using Bridgefy:

1. Turn on Bluetooth.
2. Open Bridgefy, making sure you have an Internet connection (only needed the very first time you open it). Give the app location permissions (to use the Bridgefy technology via Bluetooth).
3. Go to the Broadcast tab.
4. Start sharing messages with people that are within 330 ft. (100 mts) from you.

In theory, you can communicate at least with a person at the end of the world, there would be a long chain of people between you.

​​👻 Log in to the website without using your data

The usual problem is that you don't have an unnecessary email, and most websites in the world ask you to register. As a result, a lot of spam emails appear.

There is a solution: use one-time accounts. Moreover, there is no need to waste time and do everything manually, the account will automatically create the Login 2 service.

How to do it:

1. Visit the website: http://login2.me/
2. Enter url or site name which is required to enter login and password and click the "Get" button.
3. Login and password will appear, just use them to log in.

If you could not log in to the website through the proposed account just click on "Not working, show more". The service will give you another account. But there are also disadvantages: for social networks, the service is almost useless because of reliable protection against such registrations.

👻 How to fake a digital fingerprint of the browser

While you visit different websites, they collect your browser version, OS and IP address, and based on this assign you a digital fingerprint. It can be used to identify and track your identity.

Canvas Fingerprint Defender extension hides your real fingerprint from spying. The plugin does not block it, but adds extra noise to the identifier, which prevents websites from identifying your device. Every time the page is updated, the fingerprint changes and the site owners do not know who you really are.

To check if the extension works, look at your fingerprint on this website. If it changes after a reboot, everything works. Canvas Fingerprint Defender is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera, and after installation you don't need to do anything, everything will turn on by itself.

🔋 How to restrict internet access to applications on Android and save battery and traffic

Many Android apps use the internet in the background and send analytics, collect data, and update. Battery power and traffic are spent faster this way. In order to control the access of applications to the Internet, use the NoRoot Firewall application.

After clicking the "Run" button, the program will require access to the VPN module. Then, in the "Pending" tab, applications will appear that you can refuse or allow access to the Internet. In order for the program to start automatically when the system starts, check the box "Automatically turn on at startup".

By the way, this application will disable advertising in games or programs that do not need Internet access to work.

👁 How to turn a smartphone into a webcam

A useful lifehack will allow you to turn your smartphone into a webcam for your computer and you do not need to buy a new one. This is in case the laptop's built-in webcam is weak, and there is an old and unnecessary Android smartphone nearby.

2. Now download and install the DroidCam Client on the desktop from the official website.
3. Launch and enter the IP address displayed on the phone. If desired, select the "Audio" option to transmit not only video, but also audio. Click the "Start" button.

After connecting, an image from the phone's camera will appear on the computer. You can minimize this window and then open any program in which you need a webcam. If it doesn't work, go to settings and select DroidCam as the camera you are using.
