How to Install Guest Additions in VirtualBox. By  Kris Wouk  – Posted on  Jul 12, 2019  in  Software Hacks VirtualBox is fantastic software, especially for developers, but it doesn’t quite have everything out of the box. You may run into performance problems, and the integration with the underlying operating system (known as the “host” OS) isn’t great. There are some other issues you can run into as well.

What Is DNS Over HTTPS, and Does It Make Mozilla an “Internet Villain?” Generally, when an app developer adds features that improve security, privacy, and performance, they don’t get a lot of flak for it. Mozilla’s implementation of DNS over HTTPS (an encrypted way for your computer to look up web addresses), however, earned it a place as a finalist in  the “Internet Villains” ranking  run by the UK’s Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) and some negative comments from government agencies. Why? Because this feature encrypts the requests your computer sends out when it’s trying to find a website. UK ISPs have to comply with Internet blocking and tracking regulations, a lot of which are implemented at the DNS level, so they’re not big fans of people getting the power to bypass their filters.

But you don’t need to get the name brand, as you can get all those options with the Akaso V50 Pro Action Camera. I had the chance to use the Akaso camera, and I have to say I couldn’t be more pleased with all the options. There are so many, that if I covered all of them, this review would be far too long and wouldn’t be delivered in time. But it definitely does the job of capturing photos and videos of all your fun. Unboxing The  Akaso V50 Pro Action Camera  is not short on packaging. There is nothing they could have done to package it better. In fact, I felt for a short time like I might need an engineering degree to figure out how to get it out of the package. It was bolted into the box and the cardboard box was glued to the lucite box.
