How to set an IP power outlet so it reestablish our failed internet connection

One of the benefits that the IP outlet offers us is to be able to control our local or remote connectivity through highly known icmp queries such as ping. This way, if the internet connection is lost, it can switch off and on our equipments automatically.

Recently I have seen – likely you too – a little device that has a relatively affordable price which detects if our internet enabled devices are not able to connect to the internet and then automatically resets our modem. It is ResetPlug, costs 60 Dollars and has been widely publicized as an innovative product even though in reality it is way too far from being the first device that provides this kind of services.

AOC Agon AG271QG, the new top-end AOC monitor

The monitor manufacturer AOC has announced the one that from now on, will be its new top-end monitor within their Gaming Agon family, Agon AG271QG of 27-inches, featuring NVIDIA G-Sync technology and a whopping 165 Hz frequency, among many other things.

AOC Agon AG271QG

AOC has managed to achieve with Agon AG271QG an “almost” perfect monitor for Gaming. On one hand, it incorporates an IPS-Like (AHVA) panel that has everything good in this type of panels (deeper colors, high saturation, higher color gamut, better viewing angles, etc.) but without their common main disadvantage which is known to be a response time of only 4 ms GtG (and could not be otherwise since it’s considered a gaming monitor, of course).

UHDTV and QuadHD: Beyond the High-Definition.

A story that is likely to be repeated all around the world and it’s something that has us like protagonists, just as mere spectators of the vagaries of technology. Surely, we have bought our cutting-edge FullHd TV just some weeks ago, thinking that this technology will last for a long time with us. Unfortunately, this is a wrong fact because in this precise moment are settling the bases of its replacement. One of this wonders is the UHDTV, which thanks to its resolution that can deploy in front our eyes, is going to make our cutting-edge TV become absolutely obsolete in a short period of time.

The competence to show beyond of what our eyes can see, it’s being developed in the design tables with a few but quite expensive things to show on the stores’ shelves. However, the way which technology goes in fast pacing, there is no need to be waiting plenty of time necessary for that situation to goes in reverse, and newly we will find ourselves in the mission to get the TV which works to enjoy the new experience.

The first personalized Nvidia GTX 1070 are already here.

Last Friday, June 10 the first Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 graphic cards in their Founders Edition version went out to the market and today, only three days later, a lot of manufacturers have started to present their personalized models within which we find from models that only substitute the dissipator of the Nvidia to models with really high overlocks.

In spite that for the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 there’s barely any models of graphic cards that apply personalized cooling solutions (not to mention, with a different printed circuit to Nvidia reference), manufacturers seem to have become more aware this time with the new GTX 1070 and they are already presenting the first personalized models of this graphic card that will very likely be open to purchase a the end of the present June. So let’s see some of the offers that we got to know.

Guide: Mistakes you shouldn’t commit when updating a PC

Many of us have had to update a PC more than once, a process that implies making decisions that may always end up being really complicated, mostly when we have a limited budget and we have to change more than one component.

Unfortunately there’s no magic guide that will make us be right without problems and guarantees complete success, at least without entering into very large texts and with some complexity, but with this article we’ve gathered a series of key advises that will help us avoid some of the most important mistakes that are commonly committed when updating a PC.

Radeon

As always, we hope this will be helpful for you and we invite you to leave any doubt in the comments.

1- Looking only for new components

Is a very common flaw, since there’s a popular belief that buying second hand computer components is a bad investment, when precisely, it may end up being the opposite.

Restored or “refurbished” solutions generally allow us to get almost new products at a good price and have up to two years of guarantee, so they are an excellent option.

What is a VPN? How VPNs work?

Often we hear about VPNs and the benefits they may contain for web browsing and today we’ll go deeper into the subject to explain all the details of the virtual private network which helps to establish a connection to other computers in a safe way.

What is a VPN and what does it do?

The first thing we need to understand is the real concept of virtual private network, which is basically a secure network of private browsing that allows computers and devices to connect through an extension of the Internet, without being actually linked to the network, allowing secure transmission of data.

To get a clearer picture, let’s imagine two remote offices that require transmitting data or information and for this it is necessary to connect the computers to a VPN network through an extension of the Internet, that is, through the internet but without involving third parties since it is not a public network.

https://ulite.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/VPN-net.jpg

This connection can be given by remote access, wired connection, through something called Tunneling (Tunnel by SSH) or by internal network (LAN). Because of that, below we explain a little of what each connection means:

In these situations it is unavoidable to ask ourselves a question, is it possible to assemble an economic PC that matches or surpasses the PS4 without stepping into a much bigger cost? The answer is yes, and we’ll talk about that in this article.

Nowadays the basic edition of PS4 with the basic chassis has an average price of 350 euros, and assembling this equipment we’ll stay as close to this number as we can.

Purchase Guide for Second Hand Components

When renovating our PC many of us have had to choose, in certain occasions, to buy second hand components, a market that can serve us as a scape valve when we don´t have enough budget to face the cost of a renovation with new components or we simply don’t want to make that investment because we’re only looking to extend a little the useful life of the device until we can change it completely.

However, the market for second hand components is an authentic jungle, and not only because of the prices, but also because we take the chance of acquiring a product that is in bad condition or that doesn’t work properly, so we must proceed very carefully.

Obviously this doesn’t change the fact that it is an interesting market in which we can find very attractive solutions and at a good price that can be very helpful, but as we said we have to proceed carefully, search exhaustively and mostly, have a clear approximate value that is fair to pay for what we are searching for.

Crucial finally announces their first SSDs M.2 NVMe

It was already unusual for a manufacturer with the category and history of Crucial (which is actually a Micron Technology brand) not to have last generation solid state devices in its catalog, but fortunately that is over as it just announced its new generation of high-performance SSDs with M.2 format and which use the NVMe protocol, using a PCI-Express interface.

Crucial-Ballistix-TX3

You know that since long time ago the SSDs with SATA 3 interface reached their performance limit, which is why manufacturers of storage devices had to look for other alternatives to further improve and they found in the PCI-Express lanes the ideal solution, thanks to their high bandwidth (they use a PCI-Express rail of 32 Gb/s). Of course it was difficult to use this interface with the usual format of 2.5 inches, so the M.2/U.2 format is now the chosen one thanks to the small space it occupies and to its versatility (with M.2 SSDs variants and an adapter which connects directly to a PCI-Express x4 of the motherboard).
