You probably already know that a VPN can protect your privacy online. The only problem is that some VPNs throttle your bandwidth in the process, so you can’t do a lot of things you normally enjoy.

As far as VPN services go, WeVPN may be one of the better options on the market. It has, after all, scored a rating of 4.4
Windows, despite being one of the most popular pieces of proprietary software on the planet, is an open platform. Anyone can create and distribute programs that run on Windows and do so in more or less any way that they wish, including direct downloads, proprietary app stores like Steam and Epic, or distributing through Microsoft’s built-in Microsoft Store. In a blog post outlining a commitment to a set of principles for that store, Microsoft doubled down on its commitment to supporting

People turn to large Android tablets for streaming and even work, and Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S8 family of tablets—with screens now up to 14.1 inches—offer massive, detailed displays for both consuming and creating content.
