Good news everybody! After seemingly months of waiting for the new iPad Air 4 pre-orders to go live, it's now finally available on the Apple store for an October 23. release date. Are you happy? We're certainly happy! not least because our prediction of pre-orders going live the same date as the new iPhone 12 has proven correct. Links for pre-orders from Apple and other leading retailers are just below, so if you're ready to go, just head on straight through and the best retailer offerings. We've also rounded up everything you need to know about this interesting new premium tablet from Apple just below, just in case you needed a little bit of guidance before you make that purchase decision. With Apple's mid-September event officially announcing a new iPad Air for 2020 we now have a worthy replacement to the capable, but slightly dated 2019 iPad Air. More options are always fantastic, but is it worth the price? Right here you'll find links for the now live pre-orders, price information, a quick specs breakdown, and also a direct comparison to 2019's model - all the information you would need before considering a new iPad Air 2020 pre-order. The iPad Air pre-order is now live, but this new release also means we should also be seeing some a fresh round of competitive prices on cheap iPad deals - great news if you find the new updates not worth the cash. iPad Air pre-order quick links Firstly, here are the direct links to the relevant iPad Air Pre-order pages on Apple. Pre-orders are now live ahead of an October 23. release date. All Apple stores worldwide are now accepting pre-orders for the new iPad Air 4 and it'll be the first place where most people place their orders. Will stocks last? It's hard to say just yet. but if they don't there's also plenty of other excellent retailers with pre-orders now live. We've rounded up the best ones just below, including the current status of their sites iPad 4 pre-order pages. The best new iPad Air pre-orders this week It's not just Apple who have the new iPad Air up for pre-order right now, there are plenty more retailers around the world stocking this new tablet. Just below you can see a quick run-down of which retailers are currently stocking the new iPad Air in your region, alongside their introductory prices. How much do iPad Air pre-orders cost? iPad Air pre-orders cost $100 more than the previous model, which sits inline with the move to make the Air line more competitive with the iPad Pro. You're certainly getting a jump in power over the previous model as well. As always, the iPad Air is the somewhat underrated middle child of the whole iPad range, sitting between the top-end Pro series, and more basic standard 10.2-inch iPad. That's still reflected in these 2020 iPad Air pre-order launch prices, but you're eking a little closer to the premium side of things in this year's release. iPad Air pre-order launch prices: 64GB - $599 / £579 / AU$699 256GB - $749 / £729 / AU$1,129 It's worth mentioning that these are just starting prices for the Wi-Fi only models, if you want to include the option for cellular capabilities then you'll be spending an extra $120 on top of the above asking prices. iPad Air pre-orders: what do you get for your money? The brand new iPad Air 2020, as expected, comes with a selection of storage sizes (64GB, 256GB) but unexpectedly, comes with not only a brand new look but a few brand new colors as well. Old favorites Silver, Rose Gold and Space Gray make a return but we're also seeing the new addition of a Green and Sky Blue this year. The screen size and display have also been upgraded, from a 10.5-inch Retina to a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina and inside you're getting the new A14 Bionic chip - which Apple claims is their most advanced mobile processor yet. As if that wasn't all, there are also upgrades to the camera systems - which now support 4K video at 60 FPS. Altogether, we're not just looking at an iterative improvement here. The new iPad Air isn't only a fresh new look for the range as a whole, but it's also packing some serious hardware - probably enough to warrant an upgrade if you've been holding off. Software-wise these new 2020 iPad Air comes with the latest iPadOS 14 and can, of course, be expected to be supported with the latest upgrades from Apple for many years to come. iPadOS 14 specifically comes with better Apple Pencil support, new Scribble app, and new designs for po[CENSORED]r apps such as FaceTime. Capacity: 64GB, 256GB Size: 247.6 x 178.5 x 6.1 (mm) Weight: 1 pound (458 grams) Connectors: USB-C Display: 10.9-inch Liquid Retina, 2360x1640 resolution at 264ppi Chip: A14 Bionic chip Camera: Up to 12MP, ƒ/1.8 aperture, 60 fps 4K Video recording Battery: rechargeable lithium-polymer, 10-hours What about older Apple iPad Air deals? A new iPad launch is also great news if you're looking for something a little older - specifically the last generation models, which are sure to have some nice little price drops to make way for the newer, shinier offerings. Right now, 2019 iPad Air prices seem to be holding up at around $499 / £499 / AU$779 currently but we'd expect these to start decreasing in the following weeks. While the baseline 64GB variants are sold out at most US retailers with no likely plans for a restock, we should see the remaining 256GB models in stock going for a bargain clearout price soon - most likely for around $549 (a $100 discount). It's also worth considering the older iPad Pro models, in particular the 2018 iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9 - which can sometimes be snagged for around $200 cheaper than the new 2020 entries, though stocks are beginning to dry up now.

According to a report from ComputerBase, Biostar is joining Asus and MSI in supporting the new Ryzen 5000 (Zen 3) CPUs on its B450 and X470 motherboards. That's encouraging - because it isn't a strict requirement from AMD, it's up to motherboard makers to decide if they want to support the new chips on older platforms. Seeing a smaller player like Biostar participate bodes well for broader support for Zen 3 on 400-series motherboards; we expect that the remaining hold outs, Gigabyte and ASRock, will follow suit. Biostar will begin adding support at the beginning of 2021 with a beta BIOS featuring AGESA code Combo-AM4 v2 1.1.0.0. Luckily, Biostar's 400-series boards will keep all features intact in BIOS, meaning there will be no need to strip anything out to make way for Zen 3 support, like the cut-down GUIs we see with some motherboards. However, if things go according to plan, backward compatibility with Zen 2 will be dropped once you upgrade to a Zen 3 supported BIOS, so beware, it is a one-way trip. Ryzen 5000-series CPUs will drop on November 5, but again, you'll have to wait until January 2021 before you can run a Zen 3 CPU in your 400-series chipset motherboard.

What is it? The past seven years have been kind to the BMW 4 Series. Introduced with a good deal of fanfare in 2013, it has now recorded more than 800,000 sales worldwide, with nearly 150,000 of those in the UK, its second-biggest market behind the US. Its success is spread across three models – Coupé, Cabriolet and four-door Gran Coupé – and a range of four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, which have given it a broad appeal. But the talk surrounding this new, second-generation 4 Series is not of the task it faces in living up to the sales performance of its predecessor or its new engines, which include the 369bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit of the range-topping M440i xDrive Coupé driven here, but of – yes, what else? – that grille. The 4 Series’ design has widely divided opinions but, like it or loathe it, there is more to the second-generation model than its controversial styling. BMW says it has conceived the new 4 Series, known internally as the G22 in coupé guise, to be a more distinctive, stand-alone model with greater exclusivity than before and this is reflected in its controversial appearance and improved quality. In dimensions, too, the new model shifts further away from the model it replaces. It’s 128mm longer (at 4768mm), 27mm wider (1852mm) and 6mm taller (1383mm), giving it greater presence and a more sporting form than the car it replaces. As with its predecessor, the new line-up starts with the Coupé, which has traditionally accounted for 33% of 4 Series sales in the UK. It will be followed next year by the new Cabriolet (17% of sales last time round) and Gran Coupé (50%). The new 4 Series shares its CLAR platform and electric architecture, including 48V capability, with the latest 3 Series. Its wheelbase has grown by 41mm to 2851mm and, as part of efforts to provide it with a more sporting feel, its tracks are wider than the previous 4 Series’, at 1575mm (28mm wider) at the front and 1611mm (18mm wider) at the rear. Crucially, for keen drivers, the new model’s centre of gravity is also 21mm lower than the first-generation 4 Series’, model for model. This has been achieved partly through a new material mix, with aluminium now used for the bonnet, front wings, doors and front suspension. Further changes are centred on making the body structure stiffer than that of the 3 Series. To achieve this, BMW has fitted the 4 Series with a new shear panel within the front bulkhead, a newly designed strut across the front suspension towers and an extra A-frame support at the front of the engine bay. Inside, the layout is familiar, with a layered dashboard from the 3 Series, complete with standard 12.3in digital instrument and 10.3in infotainment displays – the latter of which can be operated via a rotary controller or touch commands as well as optional speech and gesture controls – in the M440i xDrive. Overall, the cabin features much higher perceived standards of material and finish than the previous 4 Series. The driving position is quite different from that of the 3 Series, courtesy of a more heavily angled windscreen and lower mounting of the front seats, which in combination with the multi-function steering wheel offer generous adjustment. While you’re never going to buy the new 4 Series for its accommodation, it now offers greater space up front than the old model. There’s also claimed to be more room in the rear, although head room is quite limited in the back, even though the individual rear seats are set fairly low. Boot space, meanwhile, has been reduced by five litres to 440 litres. Overall, there are six second-gen 4 Series Coupé models, with a choice of four engines. These include a base turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit with 184bhp in the 420i and 258bhp in the 430i – both of which come as standard with rear-wheel drive. The diesels, all featuring 48V mild-hybrid tech and standard four-wheel drive, start with a turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder delivering 190bhp in the 420d xDrive. Next year, a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel with 286bhp in the 430d xDrive and 340bhp in the M440d xDrive will also join the line-up in the UK. The M440i xDrive heads the new range – and it has 43bhp more than the earlier 440i it effectively replaces, at 369bhp. Its turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder is certainly no stranger, having already appeared in various new BMW models in recent times, including the M340i xDrive, with which the headlining 4 Series also shares its eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox, four-wheel drive system and electronically controlled rear M differential. What's it like? It is the inherent smoothness and willingness to rev that mark out the M440i’s engine. However, its low-speed pick-up in taller gears and strapping mid-range flexibility are equally as impressive. The new junior M car may not deliver the same pin-your-shoulders-back accelerative intent as a full-blown six-cylinder M car, but with 369lb ft at 1900- 5000rpm, it is both wonderfully rounded and engaging, delivering strong in-gear urge together with truly relaxed part-throttle cruising. The praise continues with the gearbox. Whether casually swapping ratios at low revs or performing shifts close to the 6800rpm ignition cut-out in manual Steptronic mode via the steering wheel paddles, it is always smooth and fast. There are three main driving modes: Eco-Pro, Comfort and Sport. A fourth Adaptive mode that combines all three depending on the driving conditions can also be called on. New to the 4 Series is an additional Sprint mode, which switches the car into the Sport setting using one of the shift paddles. The six-cylinder’s muscular growl and enthusiastic exhaust note, which are enhanced synthetically over the cabin speakers, are never quite as dominating or melodious as those of the petrol units used in full-fat M cars. Nevertheless, its subtle purposefulness at part-throttle and more meaningful acoustic intent under full load help to underline the M440i’s performance capabilities. The suspension retains the same design as the 3 Series’, with an aluminium-intensive MacPherson strut layout up front and a five-link arrangement at the rear, although it has its own unique kinematic properties, and the 4 Series also gets greater camber on the front wheels. Another key development is the adoption of BMW’s lift-related dampers, which feature main and auxiliary springs as well as hydraulic bump stops to progressively increase pressure within the damper under compression while progressively adjusting the rebound properties. However, the M440i receives uniquely tuned M Sport suspension with electronically controlled adaptive dampers. The standard wheels start at 17in in diameter and increase to 19in in combination with an optional M Sport Package Pro, which also brings the 225/40- and 255/35-profile Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres fitted to our test car. Despite its larger dimensions, the 4 Series is easy to place on the road. Fully befitting its sporting brief, it is engagingly fleet-footed and quite incisive in its actions. The variable-rate sport steering of the M440i is direct off centre, too, giving the new BMW urgent turn-in. It’s also more feelsome than that of the old model. The way the weighting and overall responsiveness increase with lock are key to delivering a sense of all-round confidence in the well-balanced chassis as you thread the 4 Series down a challenging back road in Sport mode. Body control, meanwhile, is excellent. BMW’s efforts to lower the centre of gravity can be felt in the way the 4 Series scythes through corners with greater enthusiasm and a higher degree of calmness than its predecessor. There’s a heightened sense of overall dynamic prowess that’s not only rooted in its firmer damping, but also its inherent balance, which is quite outstanding. Back to top Although the M440i is four-wheel drive, its variable apportioning of drive is such that it feels distinctively rear-wheel biased in dry conditions. With the electronically controlled M Sport differential also working to vary the drive between each individual rear wheel, it delivers outstanding grip and traction, and the additional security and confidence it instils in the driver on wet roads makes it well worth consideration, even if it lacks the overall fluidity and engagement of the traditional rear-wheel-drive set-up available on other models. BMW’s efforts to provide the 4 Series with a more sporting character haven’t come at the expense of ride, though. With the adaptive dampers set to Comfort mode, there’s mild restlessness and the odd thump on less than smooth road surfaces around town. However, the action of the springs and adaptive dampers is exceptionally well controlled. Together, they quickly eliminate all but the most extreme of impact shock before it has a chance to unsettle progress. At higher speeds on the open road, the ride is even more resolved, providing the new 4 Series with a fittingly purposeful but highly comfortable character that, in combination with low levels of wind noise and road roar, makes it a formidable long-distance proposition. Should I buy one? The new 4 Series Coupé has clearly taken on a more sporting role in the BMW line-up. It is now further differentiated from the 3 Series, on which it is largely based, in terms of its driving experience, being more incisive and generally more alert in its actions. The M440i sets a high standard of performance, although ultimately it will be the milder versions on which the 4 Series’ sales success will hinge. It’s not the prettiest car BMW has ever produced, but it is one whose clear purpose and heightened dynamic abilities make it a very convincing and entertaining contender.

When it comes to cybersecurity, it's clear that governments and even MPs are now targets as much as business interests. Last month, news broke of how classified documents on the US-UK trade talks - which were leaked before the last UK election - were thought to have been obtained illegally by politically-motivated threat actors. The documents were allegedly stolen from the Conservative MP, Liam Fox by Russian hackers and according to many industry commentators, it carries the hallmarks of a state-backed operation. The sources, quoted by Reuters, further revealed that Liam Fox MP’s personal email account had been compromised via the use of spear phishing, which tricked the victim in question into handing over his password and login details. It has been said that to-date, it remains unclear whether the actors behind the theft of the documents are the same party who then leaked them online. What is certain is that spear phishing, a form of social engineering, remains an incredibly po[CENSORED]r and efficient way of infiltrating systems and consequently, exfiltration data. The role of spear phishing In spear phishing, a course of expected actions from the victim is designed in order to reach an end goal – including elements of personal information being used in order to make emails seem more credible. Often cybercriminals will try to research their victim and try to find out personal facts about them in order to construct a narrative or story book, increasing the chances the victim will then follow along. An example of this could include the creation of bogus emails seeking the individual’s credentials to access or edit a shared collaborative document. Increasingly, cybercriminals are getting more and more sophisticated in their attacks with some resorting to trawling through data that has been leaked into the public domain or made available for sale via the dark web, in order to create such tailored phishing email content. Worryingly, even public social media profiles can disclose a lot of information on a target which they might not be entirely aware of – especially those that use such platforms for professional purposes. Executives posting corporate news and marketing content can inadvertently prepare an attacker with content they can use to exploit the individual and their organization. Phishers targeting government officials? Not long after the Reuters story broke, City AM revealed that the China Research Group of Conservative MPs had been in touch with them in order to disclose that they believed they had actively been targeted with both phishing and spear phishing emails from Chinese-based targets, although no proof had been made available that the attacks were made by a state actor. These examples of events, in which phishing and spear phishing tactics have been used against government targets, only emphasizes something we’ve learned to accept as an uncomfortable truth – no matter how good your email security defense mechanisms, such as Secure Email Gateways (SEGs), malicious emails will still reach an organization’s inboxes. It is therefore critical that high ranking government officials and civil servants alike remain vigilant, particularly when working with sensitive information and data. Perhaps one of the biggest dangers of SEG technology is the false sense of security – users think that all of their mail has been security vetted and as a result, can let their guard down when going through their emails. This sadly just isn’t true, and as we have seen, thousands of malicious emails pass through SEG systems unnoticed on a daily basis and it only potentially takes one click to have serious consequences. A human and tech defense Far from bringing a spell of doom into the picture, what organizations should focus on is the right implementation of cyber security training and technology or in other words, human and machine teaming in order to mitigate the threats posed by malicious actors. In the right implementation of these processes, end-users can be an organization’s strongest defense against phishing attacks. Indeed, Cofense’s proprietary data indicates that the reporting rate of phishing attacks has increased year-on-year since 2015, suggesting that when a collaborative security culture is created, users recognize the threats that are facing them on a daily basis, and actively participate in the defense of their organization. Whether in the public sector, or a private organization, there is more to be done in order to continue to educate users to recognize emerging threats and encourage them to report suspicious emails, staying alert to the threats and reducing the risks. Government officials and civil servants have a strong duty to play their part in order to ensure that public trust in government processes remains strong. As the National Cyber Security Centre itself says: “Your people layer should put much more emphasis on reporting suspected phish as soon as possible, so your experts can investigate it … If just one user reports a phish, you can get a head start on defending your company against that phishing campaign and every spotted email is one less opportunity for attackers.” The threat landscape never has been more sophisticated, and it’ll take more than machines to protect our organizations from those actors - we need humans working in tandem to stand up against the attackers.

Whether you’re building a new PC or upgrading a system that now struggles to compete with today's best gaming pcs, the best RAM kit for your money depends on the platform you pick and the software you plan to run. Every desktop sold in recent years uses DDR4 RAM and supports at least DDR4-2133 speeds. That’s the easy part. The hard part is understanding when faster memory matters when choosing the best RAM. If you’re running an Intel-based PC with an add-in graphics card, most programs won’t respond in a meaningful way to faster or slower system memory. A few will scale upward with data rate to the highest possible speeds, including some games and programs like the file compression program 7-Zip. On the other hand, AMD’s Zen-based architectures are affected much more by memory speeds. The company’s “Infinity Fabric” (the internal bits that link various blocks of logic inside of Ryzen CPUs) is tied to the speed of the memory bus. You can read about this in detail here. So, increased memory speeds on Ryzen- and Threadripper-based platforms often translate to real-world performance gains. In games, that means faster frame rates at mainstream resolutions like 1080p, as well as smoother performance at higher resolutions. Lastly, memory speed makes a big difference if you’re gaming on an integrated graphics engine using either Intel or AMD processors. Since the graphics silicon baked into CPUs doesn’t generally have its own dedicated memory (as discrete graphics cards do), upping the clock rate of your system memory also generally increases performance (though the ultimate speed-up varies greatly from game to game). So, the best RAM for those kinds of systems is faster RAM if mainstream gaming is important to you. Keep in mind, however, that if you have to pay top dollar for the fastest RAM to get playable framerates, you’re better off buying slower system memory and an add-in graphics card. In short, the best RAM for you is faster memory if you’re gaming without a dedicated graphics card, if you’re running an AMD Ryzen system, and in some edge cases with Intel chips. But if you don’t care so much about squeezing the best performance possible from your hardware, DDR4-2133 memory should be drop-in compatible with any modern PC platform. Quick Shopping Tips For many people, 16GB is the current sweet spot. Programs get bigger and messier over time, 1080p and 4K video are now common, PC game files are always expanding, and websites get more complex by the day. While heavy multitaskers and power users may need 32GB to keep from tapping into much slower disk-based virtual memory, 16GB is far more affordable, and sufficient for gaming and mainstream productivity tasks. Memory speeds advertised as part of an XMP profile might not be achievable on AMD-based motherboards. XMP is a sort of automatic memory overclocking setting that was designed for Intel motherboards. Some motherboard makers offer BIOS settings to help you achieve these faster speeds on AMD motherboards. But these settings aren’t present on all boards, and they don’t always work when they are present. Want the fastest RAM speed on an Intel platform? Get a K-series CPU. Non-K-series Core i7 and Core i5 processors have the same DDR4-2666 limit as that imposed by Intel’s lesser H370 and B360 chipsets. Core i3 processors have a lower limit of DDR4-2400. While most boards lack XMP, those that have it will more easily configure XMP memory with enhanced timings.

What is it? If there’s one thing that the BMW 5 Series has become particularly adept at over the course of its nearly 50-year existence, it’s the ability to make the wider car world collectively sit up and pay attention. Upon its arrival back in early 2017, the seventh-generation, G30 version of Munich’s venerable executive car wasted no time in catapulting itself to the top of the class, with its mixture of driver engagement, luxurious refinement and efficient performance helping it maintain a vice-like grip on that position since. Now, in a bid to grow its advantage and stave off the heightened threat posed by updated offerings from Audi and Mercedes-Benz, the 5 Series has been facelifted. Cosmetically, it has been sharpened up with new light and grille designs, but the crucial changes here are an expansion of the plug-in hybrid range and the introduction of 48V mild-hybrid technology on all four- and six-cylinder engines. That said, the bread-and-butter 520d was the one 5 Series variant to benefit from the addition of an integrated starter-generator set-up last year, and here we’re driving it in the UK in newly g estate guise for the first time. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder B47 diesel engine is effectively the same as it was when the G30 5 Series was launched some three years ago. It continues to make a modest 187bhp and 295lb ft, all of which is delivered to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. However, its 48V architecture now provides an additional 11bhp of electrical assistance, which should aid responsiveness when you need to get your foot down. Like all mild-hybrid systems, this allows the engine to switch off while coasting and can help to spur the diesel engine along when you’re driving at a relatively consistent rate of knots. All of this, unsurprisingly, has been implemented in the name of marginal efficiency gains, but the big pay-off is that the 520d is now RDE2- compliant, so it isn’t hit by the 4% benefit-in-kind tax diesel surcharge. Still, to any savvy fleet manager or business buyer, a BIK rating of 32% won’t be quite as tempting as the circa-10% scores the latest generation of plug-in hybrids are able to achieve. But for those private buyers after a big, efficient family estate, there’s very little about the way the 520d drives that’s likely to disappoint. What's it like? Throttle response has been minutely sharpened by the presence of the integrated starter-generator, but I’m not sure the big 5 Series was ever really lacking in this department anyway. The gearbox always seems to be in the optimum ratio, and on those exceptionally rare occasions when you do happen to catch it off guard, a prod of your right foot will make it quickly slot the optimum gear home with the slickness of greased silk. The engine itself lends the 5 Series a decent turn of pace, with a punchy mid-range that’s potent enough to provide a heightened level of enjoyment when the road ahead is clear of traffic. That said, with a 0-62mph time of 7.6sec, outright acceleration isn’t exactly red-hot. The 520d certainly feels quick enough to keep pace with its rivals, but you don’t find yourself making the most of short stretches of clear road if you find yourself stuck behind slow-moving traffic. It’s impressively efficient, mind, and refinement is particularly excellent. On passively damped, lowered M Sport suspension and 20in alloys, the 520d rides and handles remarkably, too. Drive fast and it displays an impressively athletic resistance to float and roll, keeping its body movements closely in check over rolling stretches of asphalt and through faster, sharper corners. Its steering lacks the leaden sense of weight that you find in the likes of the Audi A6, but it nonetheless steers with accuracy and conviction, with its comparatively lighter rack contributing to a heightened sense of natural agility. Grip levels are very good, and it adopts a wonderfully neutral stance through bends. While it showcases excellent pliancy over rolling stretches of road, there is a distant business to the ride that’s ever present on less well-kept country roads. Larger ridges and ruts can send a bit of a jolt into the cabin, but neither the force nor the volume of such impacts is troublesome enough to put you off the idea of opting for an M Sport. It would, however, be instructive to see how the 520d rides on adaptive dampers and a smaller wheel size. My guess is that it would be utterly magnificent. Should I buy one? The 520d Touring M Sport costs from £46,050, so there’s very little daylight between it and similarly sportified, four-cylinder versions of the A6 and Mercedes E-Class. It’s still the best to drive, still has the nicest cabin and so is still the pick of the bunch. And with that massive boot, there’s a very real argument that it’s still all the car you could ever need.

The convention seeks to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in their mission against terrorism, irregular migration, and drug trafficking. Rabat – The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Spanish Congress of Deputies adopted on Monday the security convention between Morocco and Spain in the fight against crime. The Spanish Council of Ministers approved the convention on September 8. The convention serves the countries’ aspirations to address security challenges resulting from human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking, and other organized crime. Morocco and Spain maintain regular cooperation in the field of security, collaborating on efforts against terrorism, human trafficking, and drug trafficking. Both Rabat and Spain describe their cooperation in the fight against organized crime as exemplary. Morocco’s state media quoted the Spanish government as saying the agreement “regulates the most important aspects in the field of cooperation.” The agreement also specifies “in great detail” the crimes Morocco and Spain seek to target with the convention. The Spanish government believes the convention emphasizes the provisions relating to the fight against organized crime, with specific reference to terrorism. The Morocco-Spain security convention also outlines the framework of operation activities and the investigation of different forms of crimes. Morocco is a country with a multidimensional security approach. The country cooperates with a score of international partners committed to continuing to fight against organized crime. The country, according to several reports, is a leader in the fight against irregular migration and terrorism thanks to its approach. The country’s security services, including the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ), the Royal Gendarmerie, and the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), work together in the fight against terrorism. The adoption of the Morocco-Spain security convention comes on the heels of a joint security operation the two countries carried out to dismantle a two-member terror cell in the Spanish enclave of Melilla and in Mogan, a town in the southwestern part of the Island of Gran Canaria. The suspects have alleged links with ISIS. According to Spanish police, the operation was carried out thanks to the collaboration with Morocco’s DGST and Europol.

Un BIOS en version bêta réservé aux overclockeurs aguerris. EVGA a sorti un nouveau BIOS pour sa carte graphique NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra ; le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est qu’il libère l’appétit vorace de la carte, en réhaussant la limite de puissance de 400 W à 450 W. À côté, même la RTX 3090 d’Emtek à 410 W semble frugale. De l’aveu même d’EVGA, ce BIOS n’a pour raison d’être que l’overcloking « extrême ». L’entreprise invite la majorité des détenteurs de cette carte à rester sur l’ancien BIOS ; d’autant plus que ce BIOS 450 W est en version bêta, et qu’il est donc susceptible d’entrainer des instabilités. En revanche, ce seuil réhaussé devrait faire le bonheur des overclockeurs. Bloc de 850 Watts Gold recommandé EVGA recommande l’utilisation d’un bloc d’alimentation 850 W Gold. Bien sûr, mieux vaut également disposer d’un boîtier bien ventilé. Si vous disposez d’une carte graphique RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra, vous pouvez télécharger le nouveau BIOS sur le forum EVGA. Enfin, rappelons que de base, la RTX 3080 a un TDP de 320 W.

We’ve just seen a video that may suggest how the iPhone 12 box will look. The footage shows an alleged iPhone 11 box – one of the new smaller ones, now that Apple has pledged to stop including earbuds or wall charger blocks with their handsets – which will likely look the same as the iPhone 12's packaging. The video comes courtesy of a tweet by user DuanRui with the caption ‘Iphone 11 brand new packaging.’ The short footage shows an iPhone box that’s much slimmer than the ones we’ve seen in past years. iPhone 11 brand new packaging. pic.twitter.com/Rv9UWo8EvpOctober 15, 2020 Given the iPhone 12 is only slightly smaller than the iPhone 11 (by a few millimeters in length and width, and it’s 0.9mm thinner), we’d fully expect the new Apple phone’s box to be about the same size. While it’s entirely possible that this footage isn’t authentic, it does look like the new smaller boxes Apple showed during its iPhone 12 reveal event. Afterward, it was revealed that Apple would also leave earbuds and wall chargers out of boxes of the iPhone 11, iPhone XR, and even the iPhone SE 2020 – except in France, where boxes will still include the earbuds, per GSM Arena. iPhone 12 mini: Apple's smallest flagship phone in years iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max: what's in store for the new iPhones All the remaining Apple Amazon Prime Day deals Wait, why won’t they come with earbuds or a wall charger? During the iPhone 12 reveal event, Apple explained why it would leave out the wired ‘EarPods’ earbuds and wall charger block that usually come with their phones: given how few people use them or still have some of each lying around from older purchases, the company pitched their omission in new iPhone boxes as an environmental measure. That's likely true, though leaving out the items is a cost-saving measure, too. Perhaps that's helped Apple keep the 5G-capable iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max prices at the same level as last year's iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max when many other flagship devices have gotten price bumps to accommodate 5G chipsets and modems. But Apple isn't wrong about redundancy: we can attest to the plethora of Lightning chargers and earbuds that pile up when owning multiple Apple products. Don’t worry, you can still buy the earbuds and wall charger blocks separately.
