Catching phone scammers red-handed
Phone scams have been on the rise recently. Thieves target pretty much anyone looking for new victims, especially those who are older and not so tech-savvy.

The ridiculous way we used to calculate pi
Pi is something we learn about in early geometry class. It’s a way to figure out the area of a circle. It turns out that calculating pi used to be incredibly difficult. Before Isaac Newton, we would have to determine the number in some pretty strange ways.

So with our current era of hardship seemingly nearing an end, it’s good to look back on past difficult times and see how we managed to make it through and what the future may look like.

3 reasons ExpressVPN beats the competition
There are tons of VPN providers out there. You’ve probably heard of a couple of them — and some of you may have even used a VPN before. But I like to do research on my sponsors and I can say with full confidence that ExpressVPN is the best one on the market. Here's why.
First, ExpressVPN doesn’t log your data. Lots of really cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data to ad companies. But ExpressVPN developed a technology called Trusted Server that makes it impossible for their servers to log any of your info.
Second, it's all about speed. I've been using ExpressVPN for a while now, and my internet speeds are blazing fast. Even when I connect to servers thousands of miles away, I can still stream HD quality videos with zero lag.
The last thing that really sets ExpressVPN apart from other VPNs is how easy it is to use. You just fire up the app and click one button to connect. Protect yourself with the VPN that I use and trust.
