WIFI vs Ethernet, which one should you use and why?

  • by

Wifi connections have made our lives much easier, because thanks to them we can create a network in which we can connect multiple devices in a simpler and more secure way, without the need of cables. But we must also take into account that they do not offer the same advantages as a cable connection.

It is a question that has been widely debated, but even today, continues to present itself with doubts, which is the reason why we have created a special article in which we will reflect on the subject of wireless connections and cable connections.

Velocity, the brakes could be your connection

When talking about the transfer speeds, it must be clear that the release of the standard WiFi AC has allowed an enormous launch of the same types of wireless connections for current models such as the NETGEAR R6300v2 which are capable of reaching maximum speeds of 1,300 Mbps.

Is it safe to use free VPN service

  • by

VPN connections give us an additional layer of security using encryption to all traffic coming out of our device until it reaches the server. Thus any downstream user can gain access to our data by MITM attacks and no company can register our activity on the network. Many users choose to use free servers, however, they can be much more expensive than we think.

Free VPN

Servers cost money

Servers are not free. A server costs money on hardware, electricity and maintenance. If a company offers a free VPN access it must be getting investment on the other hand and we run the risk that this money comes from the sale of private customer information.

Christmas Gift Guide: Best Monitors

  • by

Best Monitor

Monitors are the most important peripheral in our computer system, as a main viewing screen for our desktop, as a secondary screen to which we connect our laptop to boost our productivity or as a screen for our console. An investment which we probably won’t replace in several years and to which it’s wise to pay close attention.

For that reason, our following Christmas gift guide will be all about the best monitors out on the market. We will review the main factors to keep in mind when choosing a model that best suits our needs and budgets, the most attractive formats like 4K or ultra-wide, and we’ll finish with a selection of all types of models with links and prices.

Most important features

Size. Surely one of the first factors to keep in mind when buying a monitor is the size of the screen. It’s measured diagonally in inches from one corner of the screen to the opposite one. There are many sizes to choose from, from 15 inches all the way up to 40. The average global screen measures 21.5 inches, while the most standard size is between 23 and 24 inches. Before your purchase, make sure that you have enough space on your desk because large displays are usually extremely wide.

Dolby Atmos will soon be compatible with Windows 10: what does it offer?

  • by

The most important multi-channel sound technologies worldwide are the well-known DTS and Dolby. First came DTS and Dolby Digital in terms of 5.1 sound technologies, followed by DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD that added 7.1 sound and were only losslessly supported with HDMI wiring. The latest iterations of both companies are DTS: X and Dolby Atmos.

DTS: X has taken longer to hit the market, having started to be available for the first time this summer, while Dolby Atmos has been on the market for some time. Both technologies create virtual environments capable of mixing sounds vertically and horizontally, which improves the positioning of sounds in a 3D space in environments such as video games or movies.

Dolby Atmos to hit PC and Xbox One next year

Dolby Atmos basically creates a 3D 360º sound experience thanks to its system that organizes each sound individually, divided into ‘objects’. In previous systems the sound was assigned to a specific channel, whereas Dolby Atmos allocates the sound within a three-dimensional XYZ space. The amplifier reads the information and places the sound where it corresponds, being able to operate from two loudspeakers up to 64 in cinemas.

An AMD Vega GPU runs Doom 2016 in Ultra HD at more than 60 FPS

  • by

The next generation of AMD high-end graphics cards based on the Vega architecture has already been presented at an event that took place in Sonoma, California, earlier this week. The architecture will debut with the Radeon Instinct MI25 geared towards deep learning as a GPU accelerator, but they also showed a prototype of the Vega commercial GPU running the Doom 2016 at Ultra HD resolution with the graphic settings to the maximum while maintaining more than 60 FPS stable.

68 Average FPS and no drops is the result of the benchmark made by AMD in the demonstration, not bad considering it is a prototype, with unpolished drivers, and was running a relatively new game at Ultra HD resolution and graphics maxed out. Of course, it should be noted that the demonstration was performed using the Vulkan graphical API on which AMD collaborates. AMD Vega GPU

Asus continues to put GeForce GTX 900 Series on its laptops

  • by

Lately, some of Asus decisions, especially on its marketing and sales departments are being questioned, specifically the prices they have put some of their products. But it seems that there is something else that is not working well in the brand as they have just announced the launch of their new UltraBook Asus ZenBook UX310UQ which, again, uses a past generation graphics card.

This may come as a surprise to you but it’s not the first time Asus does it, because in September we were criticizing the launch of the ROG Strix GL553VW, a gaming laptop using a GTX 960M. Now, three months later, Asus repeats the move and although both NVIDIA and AMD already have two new generations of graphics cards, in which Asus actively participates for the desktop models, the manufacturer seems stuck in the year 2015 as far as portable hardware is concerned.

GeForce GTX 900

The Asus ZenBook UX310UQ is presented as the most powerful ultrabook of the brand. It has a screen size of 13.3 inches with Full HD resolution, and it is notable for its thinness (measuring 18.35mm thick) and its weight (weighs 1.4kg). This slim and lightweight ultrabook is powered by an Intel Core i5-6260U dual-core processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 256GB SSD, and boasts of incorporating “spectacular graphics” (literal words from its website) thanks to its NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 2GB of dedicated memory.
