Microsoft is working to fix CPU throttling on the company’s latest Surface devices, while owners complain of Wi-Fi issues, too. “We are aware of some customers reporting a scenario with their Surface Books where CPU speeds are slowed,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to TechRepublic. “We are quickly working to address via a firmware update.” The CPU throttling appears to be affecting both the Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 6, according to a variety of complaints on Reddit. Processors are getting throttled all the way down to a measly 400MHz, and it’s not immediately clear what is causing the problems. TechRepublic reports that the throttling appears to be related to an Intel CPU flag being locked on by mistake, causing the CPU to throttle as it thinks it’s at a thermal limit. Alongside the CPU issues, Microsoft’s latest firmware updates have been causing Wi-Fi issues for some. Surface Book and Surface Pro 6 owners have complained on Microsoft’s support forums that the

The holy grail of networking is speed, and we’re all on our own quests for it. The greatest laid plans can be thwarted by the slightest oversight, mistake, or even necessary processes (like security). Internet speed is the most forward-facing utility that you provide, so you better get it right. If your network runs slow, you’re never going to hear the end of it. 1. It’s all about placement It’s the central fact of real estate, it’s the core principle of sales, and it’s a central lesson in wireless access points: location, location, location. Obvious, right? Where you put the broadcast device really matters for your network speed. 2. Configurable settings: configure them. Most WAPs come out-of-the-box with the settings they need to do their job. But so does every Windows installation and your newest phone. Did you leave those settings the same? Of course not. (You did? You monster.) Default settings will work fine. But they’re everything for everyone. You may be unnecessarily

Taking care of your servers is like taking care of your teeth. Practice routine maintenance, and you keep things healthy. Let things slide, and you end up with major problems. For teeth, that means cavities or gum disease. For servers, that means unpatched vulnerabilities and potential data breaches. Of course, just because you know you should take care of your teeth doesn’t mean it’s easy to get into the habit of doing it. And the same is true for taking care of your server patches. There are several challenges: Tracking systems to be patched. When it comes to caring for your teeth, at least you know how many you have and where to find them. When it comes to servers, routers, and other systems that need to be patched, it isn’t that easy. Systems get added, removed, and shifted to new locations. You may have a wide variety of devices from a similarly wide variety of vendors. Getting it all recorded in a usable format and keeping the record current just doesn’t always happen. Along

There are several approaches to increasing security inside a data center. The first approach is to simply add traditional security measures internally, that is, add firewalls to local network segments to protect the most critical applications. This has several limitations. It can be prohibitively costly to deploy a large number of physical firewalls and challenging to manually provision policies. The protection offered is limited, lacking the ability to protect other applications if malware penetrates one device, and inflexible. The rules are defined in terms of IP address and ports, so if applications and data move to other devices and network segments, the protection doesn’t travel with them. You can also use virtual firewall, which use software to implement the firewall. Because licenses are needed, the costs can add up. They also require the same high level of manual configuration and support as do physical firewalls, which also adds to the costs. Microsegmentation provides a

Computer network is defined as a set of interconnected autonomous systems that facilitate distributed processing of information. It results in better performance with high speed of processing. Advantages of Network: These are main advantages of Computer Networks: 1.Central Storage of Data – Files can be stored on a central node (the file server) that can be shared and made available to each and every user in an organization. 2.Anyone can connect to a computer network – There is a negligible range of abilities required to connect to a modern computer network. The effortlessness of joining makes it workable for even youthful kids to start exploiting the data. 3.Faster Problem solving – Since an extensive procedure is disintegrated into a few littler procedures and each is taken care of by all the associated gadgets, an explicit issue can be settled in lesser time. 4.Reliability – Reliability implies backing up of information. Due to some reason equipment crash, and so on,

If you have multiple users on a single computer, placing a password on your account might be a good idea so that you can protect your documents and prevent data theft. But there are some rare cases when you forget your password, or the password expires and you find yourself locked out of your account. The following are steps on how to bypass your Windows 2000 password and log in to your account. Step 1. Restart your system. When you turn on your computer and find yourself staring at the log on screen, try to input the password you know you have. If the password does not work, immediately reboot your computer. Step 2. Navigate to “Windows Advanced Options Menu”. When your computer boots up, immediately press the “F8” key on your keyboard before the Windows 2000 logo loads up. This will take you to a page where it lists different ways for you to log into the operating system. Use the arrow keys to highlight the option “Safe Mode with Command Prompt”. When this option is highligh
