CNN Travel, the American travel e-magazine, recently published its list of the world's fastest trains, and ranked Morocco’s high-speed train (TGV), Al Boraq, at number 6. “In 2018, Africa gained its first high-speed railway with the opening of the Al-Boraq line in Morocco,” CNN Travel highlighted. Morocco launched its high-speed train in 2018. King Mohammed VI and French President Emmanuel Macron took a ride aboard the train to mark its inauguration. The service is the first phase of the country's planned 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) high-speed network. CNN Travel pointed out that French-built derivatives of TGV Euroduplex “double-deck electric trains operate at up to 320 kph (200 mph) on a dedicated 186-kilometer (116-mile) new line between Tangier and Kenitra.” The train makes stops in just four stations: Casablanca, Rabat, Kenitra, and Tangier. A trip from Casablanca to Tangier on Al-Boraq takes only 2 hours and 10 minutes. Meanwhile, a Rabat-Tangier trip via a bus or a car usually takes over four hours. The $2 billion project also included an upgrade “of the existing 137-kilometer (85-mile) section between Rabat and Casablanca for higher speeds, reducing the end-to-end journey time from 4 hours 45 minutes to just 2 hours 10 minutes,” it wrote. “Once the proposed new line to Casablanca is built, travel time will be cut to just 90 minutes,” CNN Travel added. With the success story of Al Boraq, Morocco is thinking of expanding railway projects to include stops in other major cities, including Marrakech and Agadir. Morocco’s government took loans from France and different partners to launch the €2 billion high-speed rail project. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE also gave funding for the rail line. Morocco spent over MAD 5.8 billion (€540 million) on the rail’s construction. Al-Boraq holds the African rail speed record too. During pre-service tests in 2017 one of the 12 Alstom-built trains touched 357 kph (222 mph) on the new line -- more than twice the speed of any next fastest trains currently running on the African continent, it says.

The best gaming mouse is one that feels right for your grip and offers excellent performance with your favorite games. Getting a mouse that feels like it belongs in your hand and has the proper feature set and packs a strong sensor will improve the flow of your gameplay and make the hits you land more satisfying. There are dozens of players in the mouse game today, and why not? Models can range from cheap and simple to premium ones boasting helpful features, like wireless charging or a plethora of programmable buttons. There are also bold design choices, like flashy RGB and removable parts, and even adjustable weights on some models. We'll help make choosing the best gaming mouse for you easier by breaking down the best gaming mouse for different uses (and users) below. Note that while this list has both wired and wireless options, we also have another list that focuses solely on finding the best wireless mouse. Quick Shopping Tips Optical or Laser? : Both sensor types can offer a great experience. But optical mice have slightly better accuracy. Laser mice work on more surface types. If you’re really picky, go for an optical sensor, preferably one designed or developed by PixArt. Wireless or Wired? : Wireless mice have come a long way in the last few years, but they still have downsides, including limited battery life (particularly with RGB) and potential latency. If you opt for a wireless, aim for one with 30 hours or more battery life. You’ll also need to decide if you want Bluetooth, a 2.4 GHz dongle connection or both. Bluetooth is handy for switching among multiple devices, but introduces more latency, but 2.4 GHz requires a USB port and dongle that’s easy to lose. Look for mice that let you store the dongle inside the shell. Palm, Claw or Fingertip Grip? : It’s good practice to examine how exactly you hold your mouse. There are three common mouse grips: Palm Grip - The base of your palm rests on the back of the mouse, with your fingers lying on top. Claw Grip - Where your wrist rests on the mouse mat, the palm doesn’t touch the mouse, and your fingertips grip the edges of it and the buttons. Fingertip Grip - Where your wrist and palm are elevated off the mouse mat and mouse. Again, the mouse is gripped with just the fingertips at its edges and on the buttons. Knowing your grip style will help you find the perfect mouse since grip type is often tied to the size of your hands. So a mouse designed for a fingertip grip will likely be larger than one designed for a palm grip. DPI, CPI, IPS and Acceleration? : DPI and CPI are effectively the same marketing terms. Traditionally we used DPI in print to declare how many dots per inch something would be printed in, in regards to image clarity. CPI, however, stands for counts per inch, and that’s how many counts your mouse takes per inch it travels. A higher CPI doesn’t necessarily mean a better mouse sensor either. A delicate combination of CPI and IPS is essential. IPS, or inches per second, is the maximum velocity at which your sensor can still track those counts. The higher the IPS combined with the CPI, the better the sensor. And then there’s acceleration. That’s how many Gs your mouse can handle and still track effectively. If you’re dashing the mouse back and forth and left and right in short, sharp movements, some mice may flake once they reach a specific G rating.

Its 9 (13 if you include all the scroll wheel inputs) programmable buttons, well-crafted shape and premium, textured finish make it versatile across gaming genres and even productivity workloads. While it’s on the heavier side compared to honeycomb-style mice for FPS games, PTFE feet help it glide easily, and a dedicated sniper button is easy to reach and drops CPI instantly for headshots. Customization options abound, from the 11 individual RGB zones to the aforementioned buttons. Each button can also have a secondary function when using “HyperShift.” The Basilisk V3 is also unique in its scroll wheel’s ability to swap from a tactile to smooth, free scroll at the tap of a button or based on how you flick it. However, that does mean that the wheel can sound rattly and is particularly noisy when switching modes. It can also wobble when shifting side-to-side aggressively. The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a worthy, simpler alternative if you don't need that much programmability. But the Basilisk V3 earned our Editor’s Choice Award with its advanced feature set, build and customization options.

With premium features, like six additional weights (two 4g ones and four 2g ones) for customizing the mouse’s feel, the G502 Lightspeed starts earning your investment. With Logitech’s high-CPI and power-efficient Hero sensor and an ample number of programmable buttons, the G502 Lightspeed is fit for any gaming genre. Its shape is familiar and comfortable, crafted in first-person shooter style. When you can’t risk a wireless connection, the G502 Lightspeed also comes with a reliable cable. In addition to connecting to your PC with a wireless dongle, you can make it so you never have to connect the G502 Lightspeed to a cable at all -- not even for charging. With the Logitech G Powerplay wireless charging mouse pad, the mouse is always charged as long as the pad is plugged into a USB port. Sadly, the mouse pad takes away the ability to use either of the G502 Lightspeed’s 4g weights and is currently $120. If you’d like a mouse that can charge wirelessly with a broader variety of mouse pads (and more), consider Qi charging mice, like the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE.

It takes the po[CENSORED]r and accessible shape of the wired Razer DeathAdder V2 and cuts the cord without cutting performance. With a 2.4 GHz USB-A dongle using Razer's HyperSpeed technology, gaming performance proved on par with the mouse's wired alternative. The DeathAdder V2 Pro uses Razer's most advanced optical sensor that excels in gaming, even at high CPI settings. In addition, dual sensitivity buttons help with on-the-fly adjustments. Meanwhile, the left and right-click buttons' mechanical-optical switches can be divisive, especially for those who like the feel of tactile mechanical switches, but we didn't suffer any misclicks. The DeathAdder V2 Pro does face some stiff competition, especially considering its hefty $130 MSRP (although it's sometimes on sale for around $120). For example, you can currently find the Logitech G703 Lightspeed for $64. And if you're willing to go over $100, there are other premium cable-free gaming mice to consider, like the Razer Basilisk Ultimate and Logitech G502 Lightspeed mice listed on this page.

At just 2.68 ounces, this lightweight mouse is excellent for long gaming sessions and is quickly adjustable. It’s a bit low profile but has a nice, ambidextrous-shaped shell that doesn’t feel cheap, despite this being a budget mouse. Targeting FPS and MOBA players, Corsair’s mouse glides easily without cable drag, thanks to PTFE feet and a paracord USB-Type-A tether. Speaking of the tether, the wireless version of this mouse, the Corsair Katar Pro Wireless, can be found for slightly more, if not on sale, for the same price as this wired version. So that’s worth considering. And if you’re after the lightest mouse, something with a honeycomb shell, like the Glorious mice on this page, save more weight. The Katar Pro XT isn’t the flashiest or most unique mouse out there but will make a reliable gaming companion. More: Corsair Katar Pro XT review

Outlook's productivity tools can be exploited to successfully send spoofed emails Microsoft Outlook has a number of productivity tools built-in but new research has revealed how they can be co-opted by hackers to send spoofed emails. In a new report, researchers from Check Point-owned Avanan explains how hackers can exploit the productivity tools in Microsoft's email service to send spoofed emails to a targeted end-user. To make matters worse, Outlook grabs and displays valid Active Directory details for the spoofed user to give their fake emails a sense of legitimacy. The cybersecurity firm's researchers observed that hackers have begun using Outlook's productivity tools to send seemingly legitimate emails to targeted users in a new social engineering campaign that leverages Microsoft's email client to make them appear more credible. Sending spoofed emails using Outlook In order to use Outlook's productivity tools against unsuspecting users, the only thing a hacker has to do is send a spoofed email. If they have their own private server, they can craft an email that pretends to come from another sender to carry out a domain impersonation attack. Should this spoofed email get past security layers as is often the case with domain impersonations, Outlook will present it as a real email from the spoofed person and even show off their legitimate Active Directory details including photos, files shared between users, legitimate email addresses and phone numbers. According to Avanan researchers, Microsoft Outlook does not do email authentication such as SPF or DKIM checks. As a result, if a spoofed email does end up in a target's inbox, Outlook does the work for the hacker by displaying accurate Active Directory details. Spoofing is also made easier as Microsoft does not require verification before updating a user image in an email and it will display all contact data for a user even if that user has an SPF fail. To prevent falling victim to attacks using this exploit, Avanan recommends that security professionals ensure their organization has layered security before the inbox, employ an email security solution that scans files and links and measures domain risk and protect all applications like Microsoft Teams and SharePoint that interact with Active Directory.

Rabat - Moroccan national carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) decided to extend travel suspension to and from Morocco until December 31. In a tweet, Royal Air Maroc said that the decision comes following the information “communicated by the Moroccan Civil Aviation.” The company announced a support plan to its customers during travel suspension to and from Morocco. In this sense, RAM allows passengers to change flight dates with the possibility of a refund of international travel tickets with an initial travel date from December 9 to December 31. One of the options allows passengers to benefit from a “free change from or to the same destination or another Royal Air Maroc point network in the same geographical area,” including Africa, Europe, Middle East, North America for a new travel date during the 15 days following the resumption of flights. If a passenger do not prefer the first option, they can “change without penalty with application of fare difference, from/to the same destination or another point in RAM network in the same geographical area, for a new travel date between the 16th day after the resumption of flights and October 31, 2022,” the company said. Passengers can also choose a refund by a nominative and non-transferable travel voucher valid for 12 months from its issuance date. Royal Air Maroc invited passengers to contact their point of sale to request their voicher during the validity period of their ticket. The company has launched an emergency plan after Morocco decided to suspend flights on November 29. Morocco took the decision after concerns about the appearance of the Omicron variant. To help repatriate people back to their countries of residence, Royal Air Maroc announced several special flights from Morocco to different countries, including France, Belgium, and Spain.Read Also:

Coming rather sooner than later? Intel has posted a patch with a sample code of a small program that interacts with its Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) driver. The sample code itself does not reveal any additional details about the initiative, but the very fact that Intel is releasing it now may indicate that the technology will be launched rather sooner than later. The "sdsi-sample" code is essentially a small user-space program that acts like an interface between the user and the SDSI driver, reports Phoronix. The driver itself enables access to the Intel Software Defined Silicon interface in the CPU to enable silicon features with an Authentication Key Certificate (AKC) and Capability Activation Payload (CAP) license. The program that Intel makes available this month is able to specify a particular CPU socket, read the SDSi register data, and send AKC as well as CAP keys to the driver, which will do the rest of the job. The code made available by Intel does not reveal anything new about the Software Defined Silicon technology. But since Intel is making it available now, this may imply that the driver will be released in the foreseeable future, which may be an indicator that Intel is looking forward to enable SDSi on its upcoming 4th Generation Xeon Scalable 'Sapphire Rapids' processor. Intel Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) is a is a mechanism for activating additional silicon features in already produced and deployed server CPUs. The technology will allow Intel to meet the immediate needs of its customers (or rather final users) by providing them CPUs in the configurations they require at the moment, leaving the door open for future software upgrades using SDSI if a client needs extra features or just decides to repurpose a server. Such upgradability almost guarantees that Intel's customers do not go to AMD if they need additional functionality and will pay Intel for its technologies.

Although organizations are increasingly aware of the benefits of Zero Trust technology and even plan to adopt it, new research from One Identity has revealed that only 14 percent of businesses have implemented a Zero Trust strategy. Following the release of the White House's “Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity” back in May, Zero Trust awareness continues to rise in the US and around the world. For this reason, One Identity commissioned Dimensional Research to conduct a survey of 1,009 IT security professionals to learn more about the current state of Zero Trust awareness and adoption across the enterprise. Surprisingly, the survey revealed that only one in five security stakeholders are confident in their organizations' understanding of Zero Trust. For those unaware, the concept of Zero Trust was created by Forrester's John Kindervag and is based on the realization that traditional security models operate on the outdated assumption that everything inside an organization's network should be trusted. Instead, the Zero Trust model recognizes that trust can be a vulnerability as once inside an organization's network, users including threat actors and malicious insiders, are free to move laterally and access or exfiltrate whatever data they are not limited to according to a blog post from Palo Alto Networks. Implementing Zero Trust Despite the fact that 75 percent of organizations recognize Zero Trust as being critically or very important to bolstering their cybersecurity posture, only 14 percent have fully implemented a solution according to One Identity's research. However, 39 percent of organizations have begun to address this important need with an additional 22 percent planning to implement Zero Trust over the course of next year. A lack of clarity on how adoption of this technology can be achieved is one of the key barriers to widespread Zero Trust success along with competing priorities and the belief that it can hinder business productivity. Of those surveyed, 61 percent of security professionals are focusing their implementation on reconfiguring access policies while 54 percent believe it begins with identifying how sensitive data moves throughout a network. President and general manager of One Identity, Bhagwat Swaroop provided further insight on the survey's findings in a press release, saying: “Organizations recognize that the traditional perimeter is no longer enough and that they will be best served by prioritizing identity security and taking steps to ensure bad actors are limited once they gain access. Zero Trust is fast becoming an enterprise imperative because it eliminates vulnerable permissions and excessive access by delivering a continuum of different rights across the organization to ultimately limit attack surfaces if they are breached.”

Rabat – The United Kingdom reaffirmed today its support for the UN Security Council’s Resolution 2602, welcoming Morocco's “serious” and “credible” efforts to resolve the conflict over the Western Sahara. At the end of the third session of the Morocco-UK Strategic Dialogue, held between Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita and the British State of Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth, and Development Liz Truss, the UK stressed the “primary role” of the United Nations in the settlement process of the Sahara dispute. Bourita and Truss also reaffirmed their countries’ shared interests for establishing a strategic bilateral partnership through strengthening political dialogue, deepening economic ties, security cooperation, and promoting human and cultural relations. Welcoming the recent appointment of Staffan de Mistura as the UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy for Western Sahara, they reiterated their full support for his efforts to find a solution to decades-old Sahara dispute. The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2602 in October 2021, extending the mandate of the UN’s peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara until October 2022 and reaffirming that a compromise-based political solution is the best way out of the Sahara conflict. All UN resolutions adopted in the past decade call on parties to conflict to commit to the Un-led political process in accordance with a spirit of compromise, pragmatism, and political realism. This is in line with Morocco’s 2007 Autonomy Proposal, whose embrace of compromise and political feasibility has led to it being welcomed by the UN as a “serious” and “credible” step toward a sustainable political settlement in Western Sahara. Read also: British Ambassador: Brexit Is Good for UK-Morocco Special Friendship Following the adoption of Resolution 2602, Bourita reiterated Morocco's commitment to working with the UN to achieve a sustainable and mutually agreed upon political solution to Western Sahara’s decades-long regional conflict. While the UK’s support for the UN-led political process does not amount to an unambiguous embrace of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, the country’s position on the Sahara conflict suggests a tacit support for the Moroccan position. With an apparent determination on both sides to further deepen their bilateral relations in the aftermath of Brexit, Rabat’s hope is for London to follow in the US’ footsteps by recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty over its territory. In August this year, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) used an undivided map of Morocco in its profile of the North African country. Naturally, the BBC’s adoption of an undivided map of Morocco sparked debates about an imminent recognition by the UK of Morocco’s sovereignty on Western Sahara. But experts say that while such a shift is indeed possible, it is not forthcoming.

Rabat - Moroccan Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita has spoken warmly of his meeting today with the Visegrad Group, also known as V4, expressing Morocco’s determination to give new impetus to its newfound strategic cooperation with the Central European coalition. The Moroccan FM represented Morocco during the first Morocco-Visegrad Group meeting, with the four member states of the Central European cooperation confederation -- Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia -- all pledging to deepen relations with Morocco. “Morocco and its partners within the Visegrad Group have a strong determination to strengthen their coopration to face common challenges, particularly in the fight against terrorism, illegal immigration and cross-border organized crime,” Bourita said during a press conference following the meeting. He emphasized Morocco’s assets as a pole of stability in its region, reassuring the Visegrad Group of the country’s strong commitment to the growth and development of Africa. Pointing out Morocco’s potential and readiness to become a “credible and responsible partner” for V4, he said the North African country “will work tirelessly to develop triangular cooperation initiatives between the Visegrad Group and Morocco in favor of Africa.” He emphasized that Morocco and the V4 countries share the same conviction regarding the importance of diversifying partnerships to meet various current challenges. For their part, the foreign ministers of the V4 Group welcomed the holding of the first V4-Morocco ministerial meeting. They underlined the importance of enriching dialogue and cooperation with Morocco and reiterated their appreciation for Rabat’s efforts in maintaining peace and stability in Africa and beyond. The ministers recalled Morocco’s role in helping curb Europe-bound irregular migration attempts, urging the EU to provide more support to the Moroccan government in acknowledgement and support of its efforts in migration management. Hungary’s foreign minister Peter Szijjarto echoed the same sentiment in a meeting with Bourita before the V4+Morocco meeting. “We consider Morocco a pivotal country in the fight against irregular migration, and we appreciate its role in this field,” he said during a press conference following his meeting with Bourita on Monday. The Hungarian official also stressed Morocco’s strategic importance in “terms of stability and development in Africa.” Arguing that stability in Morocco is crucial for Europe’s security, he renewed his country’s call for the EU to support Morocco’s development to encourage its efforts in the fight against terrorism and human trafficking in the Mediterranean. © Morocco World News.

The best X570 motherboard will of course bring the chipset’s primary new features, like PCIe 4.0 support (which doubles the bandwidth over previous-gen PCIe 3.0), more and faster USB ports. The chipset also comes with a higher power draw and higher prices than previous-generation X470 boards. It takes more juice and more copper to power those faster PCIe lanes. This means that almost all the best X570 motherboards will have built-in fans to cool the chipset, unless you opt for one of the new X570S chipset models, which do away with the fan. All that said, after some initial worries about fan noise on early X570 boards, companies have tweaked their BIOS settings. At this point even if you opt for a non-S X570 board, you won’t likely notice the noise of these small fans over other components in your case, unless perhaps you have an extremely quiet cooler like Noctua's Colossal NH-P1 passive cooler and a zero-RPM graphics card. Higher prices are still a sticking point with the best X570 motherboards, although Intel's Z590 and now Z690 motherboards are also pricier than their predecessors as well. If you don’t need lots of speedy lanes for multi-GPU setups or several of the best SSDs, you may want to consider one of the best B550 motherboards instead. If you don’t plan on adding a super-speedy SSD or a high-end next-gen graphics card (which you still can't really find at prices anywhere close to reasonable now anyway), in most cases you can certainly get by with an older X470 motherboard. But as AM4 CPUs have accumulated, there have been increasing compatibility issues between CPU and motherboard generations. So be sure to double-check CPU compatibility closely with whatever board you’re considering before buying. We noted in our Ryzen 5000 RAM Guide that the sweet spot for memory performance on X570 is DDR 3600. So you’ll also want to pair one of the best X570 motherboards with some of the best RAM you can buy. And with PCIe 4.0 support, the best SSD for X570 is undoubtedly a PCIe 4.0 drive. But for gaming and many other common tasks, you won’t likely notice the speed difference between a faster drive and a good PCIe 3.0 NVMe model. So choose wisely based on your storage speed needs--or desires. For more on the X570 chipset, see our X570 explainer from back when the chipset launched in 2019. And for more general tips about what to look for when buying a motherboard, check out our motherboard buying guide, as well as our feature covering the eight motherboard features you probably don’t need. The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme is the first AMD Extreme board since the X370 days, and it doesn't disappoint. In addition to its premium appearance, the board comes with one of the most capable VRMs we’ve seen. So its overclocking ability is only limited to your cooling capability and the limitations of your silicon. Other features are also top-notch, including the latest Realtek/Supreme FX audio codec, 10 GbE and Wi-Fi 6E. The Thunderbolt 4 ports and front-panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C ports give you plenty of fast connectivity as well. And if you need a lot of fast storage, you’re well taken care of with up to five M.2 modules that can work simultaneously. If you’ve got $800 to spend on an X570 motherboard, the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme should be at the top of your list. Packed with 12 USB ports (eight of which are USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds), a 2.5G LAN port, eight SATA ports, and integrated Wi-Fi 6, he Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi is a good base for a high-end build. The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra focuses on doing basic things very well, such as its twelve 40A core voltage MOSFETs and triple PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 storage slots. With nothing more than a 2.4Gb/s Wi-Fi 6 module to add to its basic Gigabit Ethernet, the paucity of premium add-in features helps Gigabyte to maintain a sub $300 price despite the cost of PCIe 4.0 compliance. Though it’s not ideal for some of the fancier graphics and storage options of the high-end market, the X570 Steel Legend offers Ryzen 3000 buyers great stability and efficiency at a reasonable price. The primary added features it delivers beyond what’s offered by the X570 chipset are the 2.4Gb/s Wi-Fi controller, some onboard lighting, and some extra RGB headers. The rest of this $200 board includes solid basics such as its 10x50A CPU voltage regulator. And if you don’t want to pay for the WiFi, ASRock offers an otherwise-identical X570 Steel Legend without that controller for $10 less. The primary sacrifice compared to pricier boards is that the second x16-length slot has only four lanes, because the top x16 slot can’t share its lanes. Both viewpoints describe a basic design that eliminates a few pathway switches to save money: Anyone who didn’t need those pathways to be flexible will surely be fine with this. And keep in mind that these are PCIe 4.0 lanes, so even at x4, there’s still quite a bit of bandwidth available to that second slot. The lesser sacrifice of this board’s design is that its two M.2 covers are built as a single unit that’s integrated with the PCH fan shroud. This means if you want to have a fan shroud, you won’t be able to install any M.2 SSD that has a heat spreader of its own. Uncovering a single M.2 slot while leaving the over covered is likewise not an option. The recent release of the X570S chipset update (nixing the need for a chipset fan) allowed motherboard partners to update their product stacks and get something new out for AMD builders before the arrival of Zen 4 sometime next year. ASRock was the first company to get an X570S board to us for testing, and it's still our favorite in the sub-$200 price range. The Riptide offers a better design aesthetic than most similarly priced X570 options, and improves upon the power delivery, utilizing 10-phases at 50A versus others running 6-phase at 50A. The Riptide also includes Killer-based 2.5 GbE, where the original X570 boards at this price included a 1GbE port. In the end, the Riptide offers more capable power delivery, a faster integrated NIC, and of course, the silence that some want. If you’re looking for an inexpensive and silent X570S motherboard, the X570S Riptide makes for a solid budget option to build your AMD Ryzen based system around. The MPG X570 Gaming Plus is unmistakably cheap, yet it's eight 46A core voltage regulators still provide enough CPU power to cover the full range of AMD's recent AM4 processors. Fixed PCIe pathways follow a simplified rout to eliminate the need for costly re-drivers, and the board has only one pathway switch that enables its second x1 slot by disabling the first. Its included software couldn't even monitor our hardware, and the firmware menu that's supposed to display connected devices disabled our keyboard and mouse, but buyers who are satisfied by mere adequacy should be pleased by its exceptionally low price. The Gigabyte X570-I Aorus Pro WiFi performed well at stock and when overclocking. Dual M.2 slots on the ITX form factor is its claim to fame, and it also includes two USB3 Gen 2 ports (one Type-C, the other Type-A) and four USB3 Gen1 ports on the rear IO. This tiny board offers users a great assortment of features and is a well-rounded solution for its small form factor, and comes at moderate price that undercuts the competition.

The web infrastructure company and CDN provider Cloudflare has announced that it is expanding its Zero Trust firewall capabilities to help organizations secure their entire corporate networks. While traditional firewalls consist of hardware boxes installed on company premises, they weren't designed for employees working from home or for cloud applications. In order to meet this challenge, some organizations have turned to “virtualized” firewalls though they face many of the same challenges as hardware appliances do such as capacity planning and managing primary/backup devices. For this reason, Cloudflare has announced that it will expand the functionality of its cloud firewall so that CIOs can better secure their entire corporate network, apply Zero Trust policies to all traffic and gain deeper network visibility. At the same time, since the company's firewall runs everywhere, CIOs will no longer need to rely on centralizing traffic on one box in one location whether it be physical or virtual. Oahu Program In addition to expanding its Zero Trust firewall capabilities, Cloudflare has also announced the launch of its new Oahu Program. The new program helps organizations with their Zero Trust migration by providing new capabilities and resources to simply and easily import policies from legacy firewall boxes to Cloudflare's cloud-native service. However, eligible organizations can qualify for discounts on the company's Zero Trust firewall solution to help mitigate the cost of switching. Cloudflare is also sweetening the deal by entering companies that deprecate hardware firewalls in a contest to win a trip to Oahu, Hawaii. Co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince explained in a press release how its new Oahu Program will make it easier for organizations to leave legacy tech behind, saying: “CIOs know that the corporate network is changing fast, and we want to help make that transition easy, flexible, and scalable. When working from everywhere became possible, workers migrated from legacy locations like Palo Alto to work wherever they wanted. With our Oahu Program, we are making it easy for companies to leave legacy tech behind in favor of an everywhere firewall delivered from the cloud.”

Rabat – The three leaders of Morocco’s coalition parties -- Al Istiqlal Party, Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), and National Rally of Independents (RNI) -- met on Monday to conclude a majority pact. The signing ceremony took place at the headquarters of the RNI in Rabat. The Head of Government and Secretary-General of the RNI Aziz Akhannouch, alongside PAM’s Abdellatif Ouahbi and Al Istiqlal Party’s Nizar Baraka discussed the charter of their commitment to working together to improve synergies. Akhannouch described the pact as “a governmental alliance of trust, mutual respect and harmonious collective actions.” The government coalition “reflects collective commitment” that aims to achieve ambition goals of the new government and boost interactions and decision-making while achieving public policies’ effectiveness and future social and economic reforms, he suggested. “The majority charter is an institutional and political framework that defines the methods of cooperation between various government and parliamentary institutions,” said RNI in a statement. According to the statement, the governmental pact also aims to consolidate, deepen, and structure the relations between the three political parties that will implement new legislation for the five-year term to meet the expectations of the Moroccan people. The new legislation is expected to tackle pressing issues on both the domestic and international fronts such as managing the COVID-19 crisis and the ongoing political row with Algeria. Under the newly signed pact, the coalition government renewed its pledge to achieve the forthcoming reforms in the economic, social, cultural and environmental fields and enshrine the rule of law, human rights and freedoms. The charter fits within the framework of solidarity, good governance, improving social protection to enhance Moroccans’ purchasing power, provide more inclusive access to social services, create more job opportunities, and defend Morocco’s sovereignty and national territory. Since the appointment of the new government following this year’s general elections, Moroccans are setting high expectations for Akhannouch to improve social protection programs, education, health, and employment.

A few years ago miniature retro consoles were all the rage. Powered by a range of Arm SoC, these boards, often officially licensed from Sony, Nintendo and NEC, housed emulators which provided a little nostalgia for those of a certain age. We were not immune to these consoles and duly purchased a Super Nintendo and PlayStation 1 but drew the line for the Commodore 64. Before these consoles existed many retrogaming enthusiasts made their own consoles using the Raspberry Pi and this led to an active emulation scene led by RetroPie and Recalbox distributions. Retroflag has a retro console lineage, with Sega Genesis, NES, Super Nintendo and GameBoy cases designed for use with various models of Raspberry Pi. It latest product, the $24 SuperPi 4, is a Raspberry Pi 4 specific case that follows the European / Japanese design of the Super Nintendo (Super Famicom in Japan). The case is very detailed and even feels like the classic 16-bit console. At a glance it could also be mistaken for the official Super Nintendo mini console (SNES Mini). With glee we hurriedly put our case, kindly supplied by The Pi Hut, together and relived an era where Ryu’s Dragon Punch reigned supreme. The build process for Retroflag’s SuperPi 4 is simple and the included instructions leaflet reflects the simplicity with just a few steps to show installation. Using the included screwdriver and bits we had our Raspberry Pi 4 secure inside the case with power and micro HDMI ports to the rear. The case has breakout connections for the front USB 2.0 ports and for a small 5V fan to keep the Raspberry Pi 4 cool. This is a case for retrogaming so don’t expect any cutouts or ports for the official Raspberry Pi camera and display. Hidden under a flap on the left side are our USB 3 and Ethernet ports. If you look closely you can see that the ports are mislabelled on the flap, most likely an oversight in the tooling used to make the case as this case is also available in a Pi 2 / 3 configuration. The cartridge slot is where we can hide our micro SD cards, but do make sure to store them in the center of the slot. The hinge, to the left and right of the slot, will snap trapped cards. The included cartridge hides a secret. A magnet on the underside of the case is used to secure the cartridge to the console via another secret magnet in the micro SD card storage area. With the cartridge installed, pressing eject will slowly reveal the hidden cache of cards. If you want a clean look to the console, then perhaps omit the cartridge. Flanking the eject button are replicas of the power and reset controls and yes they work. You are probably already aware that no model of Raspberry Pi comes with a power button and the inclusion of these features in the SuperPi 4 case is most welcome and accurate to the console. With the Pi secure inside, we inserted our RetroPie micro SD card (see how to install RetroPie) into the right hand slot, lovingly hidden from sight so as not to spoil the Super Nintendo illusion. The front two USB 2.0 ports are for our controllers and we elected to connect an 8Bitdo Super Nintendo controller for nostalgia’s sake. Using RetroPie, we “vigorously tested” a series of Super Nintendo games and found that everything was well. This was to be expected as the Super Nintendo is not the most challenging console to emulate. In fact Super Nintendo emulation is possible with the Raspberry Pi Zero W, with only a handful of SuperFX (a custom 3D engine chip developed by Argonaut) games causing issues. The ease of emulation means that the Raspberry Pi 4 never breaks a sweat when emulating up to 16-bit consoles and arcade hardware. Surface temperature on the top of the unit was tepid. We could feel the warmth of the Raspberry Pi’s quad core Arm SoC. On the underside, where the Pi is nearer to the case is a slightly warmer experience, though that’s . nothing to worry about for light emulation. If we were to emulate PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64 or PSP then we would need to fully utilize the CPU and perhaps even overclock to achieve a smoother framerate; we’d then need to add our own fan. If we were to emulate these consoles then we would definitely need to add our own fan. On the PCB for the two USB controller ports, there is a fan header for a 30 x 30 x 7mm 5V fan which can be secured to the lower section of the case to draw air into the case. The placement of the fan isn’t optimal as it is further forward than the Raspberry Pi, but the airflow will help to keep the Pi from thermal throttling. A short heatsink would provide an extra level of cooling. This is a good looking case; it almost looks official. The relative low cost and good looks will be a draw to those eager to emulate the 16-bit era. If your retro tastes are a little more “modern,” then you will need to add cooling and this is an extra cost. Those users should perhaps seek out an all-metal case which can do better passive cooling such as the Akasa Gem Pro. If you just want to emulate the classics from the 1980s and 90s, then this case is for you and you will love how good it looks in your lounge.

Raptor Lake is Intel’s range of next-gen processors expected to come out in 2022, and we’ve just seen the first purported benchmark of these CPUs. As highlighted by regular hardware leaker Komachi_Ensaka on Twitter, what could be the 13th-gen flagship processor has been sighted in a BAPCo Crossmark benchmark as Tom’s Hardware reports. Note that the benchmark has since been removed – of course, it shouldn’t have been aired in the first place – but not before Tom’s screen grabbed and shared the news. According to the details given here, the spec that the chip runs with is eight performance cores (new Raptor Cove cores), and 16 efficiency cores (Gracemont cores – the same as with Alder Lake). This is what was previously rumored, and gives the processor a theoretical 32-threads (as efficiency cores don’t have hyper-threading). The benchmark itself shows the Raptor Lake CPU hitting an overall score of 1,591, which compares to a result of 2,376 for the Core i9-12900K, Intel’s new Alder Lake flagship. Analysis: Don’t read much into an early engineering sample It’s no surprise – assuming this benchmark is genuine, which is always a bit of a leap of faith with very early leaks – to see that Raptor Lake is a good deal slower than Alder Lake at this point in its development (the 12900K is almost 50% faster here, in fact). Obviously, when the Raptor Lake flagship is finished, that won’t be the case (if it wasn’t measurably faster, Intel would go back to the drawing board until it was). What’s happening here is because this is a very early testing sample, it’s doubtless locked to slow clock speeds and doesn’t remotely reflect the performance of the final product which should emerge later in 2022 (maybe in Q3). Right now, Raptor Lake will still have plenty of optimization to be done on both the hardware and software fronts. The theory is that Intel’s 13th-gen CPUs will be a simple refresh of Alder Lake, but it’s bound to make some decent architectural gains as Intel refines its new hybrid tech, and obviously the addition of more efficiency cores – a lot more if these early rumors are right – should make a considerable difference to performance too. There is also speculation about Raptor Lake taking some big strides forward in terms of power-efficiency as well, so we can still remain quietly optimistic about what the next-gen might bring.
