Samsung Galaxy S8

Long-term review: Is the Samsung Galaxy S8 still the best?

Samsung made a big splash with its S8 and S8+ handsets, and considering how flat the Note 7 fell, it was a necessary move. It’s been a few months now since the S8 hit shelves and with the Note 8 coming later in the month, is the S8 still the best phone you can buy?Yes, I think it is. But the competition is strong, and the S8 isn’t a clear winner in every area.Take the camera, for example. Many flagships have excellent cameras, and the S8 is certainly one such device, but the HTC U11 and Google Pixel just edge it thanks to sharper pictures and more natural looking colour reproduction. Performance, too, is an area where the S8 has already started to flounder. It’s by no means slow, but the OnePlus 5 and the iPhone 7 both feel nippier in everyday use. The Galaxy S8 remains the best-looking phone out there, however. The curved front and back, along with that stunning Infinity Display, combine to create a device that feels futuristic – and one that will continue to do so for some time to come. For the most part the design has survived daily use.I have to admit that I’ve smashed one S8 by dropping it off my bed onto the floor; but the pricey replacement I’ve subsequently dropped has escaped unscathed. I’ve taken to keeping the device well protected in a case – one of Peel’s very thin ones – and, aside from a mark on the screen, it’s held up well.There’s no doubt that the display is well engineered, but it still stands as the finest screen on any phone I’ve used. It’s obviously high resolution, but the deep and rich colours produced by the large AMOLED panel make it a joy to use.There’s been a distinct lack of anything to really test the HDR prowess of the phone, which is a shame, but hopefully we’ll see that change in the future. The only handset likely to have an equally impressive display this year is the Note 8, or possibly the rumoured AMOLED iPhone 8.There are plenty of fantastic Android phones on the market right now, and you certainly don’t have to spend the eye-wateringly high price of the Samsung Galaxy S8 for a solid experience. But you get what you pay for, and there’s enough going on in the S8 to make it worth the outlay. Even when the Note 8 arrives, I think the smaller size of the S8 will continue to make it the go-to choice.

What is the Samsung Galaxy S8?Phones have become a little stale. Whether it’s an iPhone 7, Huawei P10, Sony Xperia XZ Premium or any other flagship phone, they all look and feel the same. But just when I thought a phone couldn’t surprise and delight me any more, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has proved me wrong.

Samsung Galaxy S8 release date and price

Samsung Galaxy S8 – Design

Nothing comes close to the Galaxy S8 design-wise. It’s the best-looking phone I’ve ever seen, leaving every other handset trailing in its wake.The curved rear, as seen on the Galaxy S7, nestles perfectly in your palm, while the glass shimmers as the light hits it. The device is available in three colours – a dark black, bright silver and a grey with a blueish tinge – with no ugly white front plate in sight. My review unit is the black option, and it’s properly black all over, with shiny sides that blend into the display. It feels like one complete piece, with the glass, screen and metal combining all together.

New Intel Core i9

We’re going to look back on 2017 as a genuine WTF?! moment in CPU tech. And this inaugural i9 processor, the Intel Core i9 7900X, is going to be one of the bits of silicon we’ll hold up to exemplify all the weirdness.There’s a whole lot of serious silicon out there right now, so check out our pick of the best CPUs for gaming so you know where to spend your upgrade cash.The Core i9 7900X is a ten-core $1,062 (£956) processor. Last year, that would have made it the tippy top of Intel’s high-end desktop (HEDT) tech tree, but this year it’s the bottom rung of the new Core i9 range, and sits in the middle of the entire X-series CPU stack.Yeah, a ~$1,000 CPU as a mid-ranger. Told you times were weird.As much as Intel are keen to keep on trotting out the old ‘none of this has anything to do with AMD, honest’ line we know that, without increased AMD Threadripper-shaped competition from the red team, we wouldn’t be looking at a new range of processors topping out at a ludicrous 18 cores.
But none of that has happened yet. The Core i9 7980XE is still a long way off – it currently looks like little more than a few hastily scribbled drawings on the back of an engineer’s napkin left in the Intel canteen. AMD’s 16-core offerings have yet to see the light of day too. So, right now, this is the fastest, most powerful desktop processor you can buy. Well, if anybody had stock you might be able to... But here’s the important question: with the CPU world in such a state of flux, is there anything to be gained from trying to get your mitts on a Core i9 7900X right now?That’s the broad overview, but, in terms of specifics, the Core i9 7900X is a ten-core CPU making full use of Intel’s HyperThreading technology to deliver a hefty 20 threads of processing goodness to the user. That, in itself, is not massively exciting, given that we had our first taste of such a multicore CPU last year, but the speed at which Intel have got the first Core i9 running is impressive.

Motherbords Types

What is Motherboards types ?

AT Motherboard

An AT motherboard is a motherboard which has dimensions of the order of some hundred millimeters, big enough to be unable to fit in mini desktops. The dimensions of this motherboard make it difficult for the new drives to get installed. The concept of six pin plugs and sockets is used so as to work as the power connectors for this type of motherboards.
The hard to distinguish power connector sockets make it difficult for many users to easily make the proper connections and thus leading to the damage of the device.Produced in the mid 80’s, this motherboard lasted a good span from the Pentium p5 to the times when Pentium 2 had been started to be used.

ATX Motherboard

Advanced technology extended, or popularly known as the ATX, are the motherboards which were produced by the Intel in mid 90’s as an improvement from the previously working motherboards such as AT.This type of motherboards differ from their AT counterparts in the way that these motherboards allow the interchangeability of the connected parts. Moreover the dimensions of this motherboard are smaller than the AT motherboards and thus proper place for the drive bays is also allowed.Some good changes were also made to the connector system of the board. The AT motherboards had a keyboard connector and on the back plates extra slots were provided for various add-ons.

Mini ITX Motherboard

Mini-ITX is a 17 × 17 cm (6.7 × 6.7 in) low-power motherboard form factor. It was designed by VIA Technologies in year 2001. These are largely used in small form factor (SFF) computer systems. Mini-ITX boards can also be cooled easily because of their low power consumption architecture. Such an architecture makes them widely useful for home theater PC systems or systems where fan noise can diminish the quality or worth of cinema experience. The four mounting holes in a Mini-ITX board line up with the four holes in ATX specification motherboards, and the locations of the back plate and expansion slot are the same. Although, one of the holes used was optional in earlier versions of the ATX. Hence, Mini-ITX boards can be used in places which are designed for ATX, micro-ATX and other ATX variants if required.The Mini-ITX form factor has location for one expansion slot, pertaining to a standard 33 MHz 5V 32-bit PCI slot. However, often case designs use riser cards and some even have two-slot riser cards, even when the two-slot riser cards are not usable with all the boards. A few boards based around non-x86 processors have a 3.3V PCI slot, and the Mini-ITX 2.0 (2008) boards have a PCI-express ×16 slot. Such boards are not used with the standard PCI riser cards supplied with cases.

Now that you know how to choose your motherboard.

Thanks.

How Internet works ?

What is Internet ? How it Works ?

In this Tuto you will understand how the internet actually works !

When i said internet a lot of pepole (70%) of them will think that the internet is like a cloud or something is traveling via the air, but that is wrong the internet is something logical and easy to understand, wire the Internet is useful because two computers connected directly to this wire can communicate a server is a special computer connected directly to the Internet 

and web pages are files on that servers hard drive every server has a unique Internet Protocol address or IP address just like a postal address IP addresses help computers find each other but since 72 1412 I've done 100 it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue we also give them names like google.com facebook.com or security catalyst comm so this is how it works your computer at home is not a server because it's not connected directly to the Internet computers you and I use everyday are called clients because they're connected indirectly to the Internet through anInternet service provider here we'll pretend that this is my home laptop and I'm using DSL now let's pretend that I want to visit aol.com which is coincidentally both a server and an ISP I hop onto my laptop with DSL go through my ISP onto the internet and look at aol.com my computer connects with AOL comm and I can look at this web pages now let's say that I want to send an email and Ruth and Ruth has AOL dial-up from home and I've got a gmail account I logon to gmail.com and compose a message to Aunt Ruth's email address Ann true that lol calm once I click send gmail.com since the email to a o L calm the next day Aunt Ruth dials into AOL servers and retrieves the email whenever an email picture or webpage travels across the internet computers break the information into smaller pieces called packets when information reaches its destination the packets are reassembled in their original order to make a picture email web page or tweet okay so imagine you're at work sitting next to your boss and you're both surfing online your boss is doing market research and you're updating your Facebook profile you're both sending packets back and forth over the Internet but what's to keep your packets from accidentally ending up on your boss's screen that could be embarrassing the solution to that problem is IP addresses and routers everything connected directly or indirectly to the Internet has an IP address everything that includes your computer servers cell phones and all of the equipment in between anywhere two or more parts of the internet intersect there's a piece of equipment called a router routers direct your packets around the internet helping each packet get one step closer to its destination every time you visit a website upwards of ten to fifteen routers may help your packets find their way to and from your computer imagine each packet as a piece of candy wrapped in several layers the first layer is your computer's IP address your computer sends the packet to the first router which adds its own IP address each time the packet reaches a new router another layer is added until it reaches the server then when the server sends back information it creates packets with an identical wrapping as the packet makes its way over the internet back to your computer each router unwraps a layer to discover where to send the packet next until it reaches your computer and not your bosses and that's how the internet works
