Practical ways to hide wires in your apartment

A cable running from the router across the whole room, an extension lead under the TV, a tangle of cables under the computer desk — a familiar sight in almost every flat that wasn’t refurbished yesterday. It’s possible to hide cables without a major refurbishment involving cutting into the walls — all you need are a few simple tools and a bit of imagination. In the world of electrical engineering and technology, there’s even a specific term for this — cable management. Let’s take a look at why cable management is needed in a typical flat, which methods for concealing cables actually work, and which social media «life hacks» are best avoided.

The most expensive domain names in the history of the internet: when companies paid millions for a single word

If you want to register a website, type in your chosen name — and instead of seeing a price of $10 a year, you’ll see tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. It sounds like a joke, but deals like this have actually happened. Admittedly, there’s an important caveat: sometimes it wasn’t just the domain name that was bought, but the entire business along with it. Let’s take a look at which records belong to company sales and which to domain name sales themselves, and why a simple word in the address bar is sometimes worth more than a house, a plane or even a small factory.

Why do businesses need a 0-800 number: how a freephone number boosts customer trust

When a customer sees a regular mobile number on a website, they can't help but wonder if they'll have to pay for the call, or if they'll be dialing a private number instead of a company. A toll-free hotline immediately allays this concern — the very appearance of the 0-800 number says, «Call, it's free, and we're here to help». In this article, we'll explore what business numbers like 0-800 are, why being free for customers builds trust, and who should really consider adding such a number to their website.

What is the «weight» of an AI query: how much traffic do AI-powered chatbots consume?

When we talk about the weight of an artificial intelligence (AI) request, we usually mean how much data needs to be transferred over the channel to obtain a result. As a reference, according to research by HTTP Archive, the average page on a typical website in 2025 will weigh approximately 2.5-2.9 MB — this is the «base unit of measurement» against which to compare the AI load. Estimating the traffic volume for neural networks is not always straightforward: the data volume of an AI request depends on the type of content, which is why internet traffic for neural networks should be considered separately from regular web browsing.

Interactive TV for reception areas, waiting rooms or reception desks: how it impacts a company’s image

During those first few minutes spent waiting in the reception area or lobby, a customer takes in their surroundings: an old television with a news channel playing in the background, silence, or a screen displaying content that is genuinely interesting and useful to the visitor. This seemingly minor detail shapes the first impression of the company even before the customer has spoken to a manager or receptionist. Interactive television — a modern digital service which this article will discuss – helps to remedy this situation.

Which domain is best for a business, and why

Your website’s domain is your business’s address on the internet, and the domain zone you choose is just as important as the physical location of your shop or office: it determines how easily customers can find you, how much they trust you, and even how they perceive you — as a local company or a global player. Let’s take a look at how popular domain extensions differ, how much they cost and, most importantly, which domain is best suited to your business.

How to find out who is connected to your Wi-Fi

Your internet has started to «slow down» for no apparent reason, videos are buffering, and web pages are loading more slowly than usual — and your first thought is usually: «there must be something wrong with my internet provider». But there’s another, less pleasant reason: someone unauthorised has connected to your network and is using up your bandwidth. The good news is that you can detect unauthorised connections yourself using a few simple tools and settings.

What you must not tell or ask ChatGPT: 10 forbidden topics for your own safety

ChatGPT can write letters, translate, and explain complex concepts in simple terms — and millions of people turn to it every day as a helper they can tell everything to. But artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a friend behind closed doors; it’s a computer system that, by default, may use your queries to improve its models. Here’s what exactly you shouldn’t share with ChatGPT or ask it — and why.

How to check your laptop’s battery charge

It’s a familiar situation: you see «60%» on your laptop screen, yet the device switches off after just twenty minutes of use without being plugged in? The figure is there, but it doesn’t reflect the actual battery life. The reason is simple: the charge percentage and the actual condition of the battery are not the same thing. Here’s how to check your laptop’s battery charge and find out how much life is actually left in it.
