At CES 2018 Lenovo demonstrated its Thunderbolt 3 Graphics Dock solution, which is an external docking station for a graphics accelerator.

 

The specialty is performed in a relatively thin case, possessing such dimensions: 248 × 130 × 22.6 mm. The computer can be connected via the Thunderbolt 3 (on the base of the USB Type-C port) interface, providing the 40 Gbps throughput capacity. Thunderbolt 3 Graphics Dock is powered by the 170 W network adapter, while up to 65 W of energy may go to the laptop connected. Hardware peripherals can be attached through one USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports. Besides, there are such interfaces as DisplayPort 1.3 (×2), HDMI 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet.

 

The station houses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 MXM accelerator, offering 4 GB of the GDDR5 memory. This solution ensures the mainstream-class effectiveness, so one should not expect to get top-level graphics experience. However, the main …

The past few weeks have become a real calamity for the users of personal computers and other devices all over Europe. This calamity is triggered by the massive attacks of new encoder program Trojan.Encoder.94. Last week the encoder reached the borders of several countries in Latin America which could not but harass all customer community. So far the companies, which make business on developing antivirus systems, cannot find the ways of preventing the penetration of encoder, despite multiple notifications and urgent security measures from the customers’ part.


The operation chart of Trojan.Encoder.94 is targeted mainly on user files. Once the program gets into the system, it immediately encodes all data in PC or other device. Text, graphic, audio and video files fall under encoding, and when the user tries to open the needed file, the program displays the notification which contains information about the possible methods of error removal. All of those methods dwindle down to a …
