For some time now, the media has been talking more and more about the so-called Deep Web or Dark Web. It is almost always done to relate it to criminal activities carried out in the depths of the network, and very rarely do they stop to explain what that Dark Web really is. An example of this is that they call it Deep Web, an erroneous term in most cases.Continue reading →
The official launch in the middle of last year of Intel’s Core i9 microprocessor family further stimulated competition with AMD. Without a doubt, it’s great news for users. But perhaps the most interesting is that it gave rise to an exciting debate that raises to what extent it is preferable in terms of the execution of video games to have a higher clock speed compared to a higher number of cores.
I have decided to start the analysis of this Mountain workstation talking about the Core i9 processors because, as the title of the article anticipates, the CPU that governs this equipment is a Core i9-7900X chip with 10 cores and capable of simultaneously processing 20 threads of execution (threads). There is no doubt that one of the incentives of this machine is to check how this microprocessor performs, but this is not the only feature that is interesting. Not much less. If you want to discover much more about this proposal, you just have to keep reading.Continue reading →

If someone tells you that your disk drive reaches read speeds of 480 MB / s, you will most likely be asked “An SSD drive, right?”. That could be true until now, but those speeds can also be found on conventional hard drives.
This is what Seagate has promised, which thanks to its Multi Actuator technology is capable of doubling the access speeds to its hard drives. Taking into account that so far the fastest units of 7200RPM were around 235 MB / s, the evolution is certainly remarkable.Continue reading →
“Amaze you, gentlemen users: here we bring you a text editor that can be controlled with the mouse”. That was probably the presentation message of Multi-Tool Notepad, the tool that Microsoft presented at COMDEX in 1983 and that offered a “visual” alternative to the poor text editing tools that dominated its MS-DOS operating system at the time.
That would lead to Notepad in Windows 1.01 in 1985, and 33 years later the funny thing is that things have not changed much. The mythical notebook is one of those eternal tools integrated in Windows and that for one reason or another has hardly changed. And not because I do not need them. Hello, Satya? You read me?Continue reading →
The game in 4K UHD is possible in the world of consoles if we get a PS4 Pro or an Xbox One X. But, as we told you at the time, these machines will only allow us to play with native 4K resolution in some games, but not at all. Currently, if our goal is to play with this resolution with the minimum possible restrictions, the best option is to do with a PC. And the Omen X that stars in this article is running as a candidate.
Up to now, several computers from the Omen family of HP have been through our laboratory, which is the range of computers for gamers of the American brand. But, without a doubt, this Omen X is the most ambitious notebook in this series that we have tested to date. And it is that a quite impressive configuration joins some possibilities of expansion and overclocking that will make the “mouth water” to many gamers. Let’s see what this little beast offers us.Continue reading →
GDPR applies to all businesses, large and small, all over the world. If your site has visitors from European Union countries, this law applies to you. Although GDPR has the potential to escalate to the high level of fines, it will begin with a warning, a rebuke, a suspension of data processing, and if you continue to violate the law, high fines will be incurred.
The goal of GDPR is to protect the user’s personally identifiable information (PII) and keep businesses at a higher standard when it comes to how to collect, store and use such data.
Personal data includes name, e-mail, physical address, IP address, health information, income, etc. Now you’re probably wondering what you need to do to make sure your WordPress site is GDPR compliant. Well, by default, WordPress 4.9.6 now comes with the following GDPR enhancement tools …
WordPress now comes with a built-in privacy policy generator. It offers a prefabricated privacy policy template and offers guidance on what to add, so you can be more transparent with users in terms of what data you store and how you manage your data.
WordPress gives site owners the ability to meet GDPR’s data processing requirements and honor the user’s request to export personal data as well as the removal of personal data from the user.
As a site owner, you may be using various WordPress plug-ins that store or process data such as contact forms, reviews, email marketing, online store, membership sites, etc. Depending on which WordPress plugins you are using on your site, you will need to take action to ensure that your site is GDPR compliant. In addition, plugins developers are creating GDPR plugin for WordPress.
Like most website owners, you’re probably using Google Analytics to get website statistics. This means that you may be collecting or tracking personal data such as IP addresses, user IDs, cookies, and other data for the behavior profile.
If you are using a contact form in WordPress, you may need to add extra transparency measures, especially if you are storing the form entries or using the data for marketing purposes.
Similar to contact forms, if you have email marketing application forms such as pop-ups, floating bars, in-line forms, and others, be sure to collect the explicit consent of users before adding them to the your list.
By default, WordPress used to store the commenters’ name, email, and website as a cookie on the user’s browser. This made it easy for users to leave comments on their favorite blogs because those fields were pre-filled. Due to the GDPR consent requirement, WordPress has added the comment consent checkbox. The user can leave a comment without checking this box. All this would mean that they would have to manually enter their name, email and website every time they left a comment.
If you are using WooCommerce, the most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress, then you need to make sure that your site complies with GDPR. The WooCommerce team has prepared a comprehensive guide for store owners to help them be compatible with GDPR.
If your website is running redirect pixels or retargeting ads, you’ll need to get the user’s consent. You can do this by using a plug-in such as Cookie Warning.
After having let us take a first look during the past CES 2018, TLC-Alcatel has definitely presented all the data of its new Alcatel 5 in one of the first Keynotes of this Mobile World Congress of 2018. It is a mobile that wants to position itself above the high range, and all with the most content possible price.
The new flagship of the manufacturer has been accompanied by the other two that also showed in Las Vegas, the new Alcatel 3 and 1. These are two phones aimed at the input range, but they will share some characteristics with their older brother, such as the proportion of the screen or the fingerprint sensor.Continue reading →
Unfulfilled promises! That is what has happened in recent years with technologies and products that promised us everything and that remained in the attempt.
Some wanted to sell us the wonders of modular mobiles, messaging bots or 3D printing, but the truth is that neither those nor many other technologies have managed to materialize. We wanted to review what has happened since 2014 or 2015 in the segment, and here you have the great technological failures of recent years.Continue reading →
Bitcoin fever is creating some confusion in the terminology that is used to refer to these currencies. Sometimes this type of currency is called cryptocurrencies, other times virtual currency and sometimes digital money. However, the three terms are not interchangeable.
This can generate quite serious confusions like when a medium assured that the Bank of England was preparing a cryptocurrency, when in reality it is a virtual currency. On other occasions we are not wrong, since Venezuela actually prepares its cryptocurrency. Let’s see the differences.Continue reading →
