New Apple patent shows MagSafe to USB Type-C adapter

The company had replaced its popular Magsafe charging system in the new MacBook Pro lineup with standard USB Type-C charging

When Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pros last year, they removed one feature that was really popular with users, the MagSafe connector. The connector was designed to safely detach from the laptop in case the cord was accidently yanked out. In its place, the new MacBooks use standard USB Type-C ports for charging. However, a new patent by Apple suggests that the company may be working on a MagSafe to USB Type-C adapter that will allow users to charge their devices with their MagSafe charger.
The patent was filed in January last year and is described as allowing “MagSafe chargers to be used to charge devices having Universal Serial Bus Type-C connector receptacle. This also may provide the breakaway characteristic of a MagSafe connector system for a device that does not have a MagSafe connector receptacle.” However, it should be noted that while the company has filed a patent for the adapter, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Apple will be launching it.
This isn’t the only thing that is missing in the new MacBook Pros. The SD card slot, and the HDMI port have also been ditched. Instead you get four USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3.0 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. The new MacBooks also introcued a new OLED TouchBar, which is present on all the new devices, except for the entry level 13-inch MacBook Pro.

What is ARP Monitor?

ARP MONITOR It’s FREE  tool like arpwatch but for Windows OS. This tool can help with ARP activity monitoring in computer networks.   It allows you to catch intruders on the network, track MAC-IP bundles, detect scans, monitor real-time ARP protocol activity in the segment, and much more. This windows software monitors ethernet activity like unix apwatch and keeps a database of ethernet/ip address pairings. new activity - This ethernet/ip address pair has been used for the first time. new station - The ethernet address has not been seen before. flip flop - The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the second most recently seen address. changed ethernet address - The host switched to a new ethernet address.  Download :   Mirror: http://www.binaryplant.com/binaryplant-arp-monitor.exe

Intel's extra-fast 3D storage comes to your desktop PC

It didn't take long for Intel's 3D  Optane storage  to reach a product you can realistically buy. The chip maker has  introduced  Optane modules designed to boost the performance of your desktop PC. They're strictly cache drives that only hold 16GB or 32GB (the server module packs 375GB), but don't let that dismay you. In theory, the combination of extremely low latency (under 10 microseconds) with solid state drive speeds (at least 900MB/s in peak sequential reads) should dramatically reduce loading times across the board. Compared to a PC with a conventional spinning hard drive, Intel claims that you should see a 28 percent overall performance boost, with storage up to 14 times faster. Common apps like the Chrome or Outlook should load five to six times faster, Intel says. And not surprisingly, Intel is making a big deal out of gaming performance. The company boasts that games can start up to 67 percent faster, and load levels up to 65 percent fa...
