List of Computer Hardware Here are some common individual computer hardware components that you'll often find inside a modern computer. These parts are almost always found inside the computer case, so you won't see them unless you open the computer: Motherboard: The motherboard (also known as a logic board in other devices) coordinates all of the other hardware. Central Processing Unit (CPU😞 The CPU interprets and executes most of your computer's commands. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is the memory your computer uses to work; it's different from the storage that holds your files and programs. Your computer spends RAM to run those programs and process information. Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU is the means through which your computer draws power. It's usually a cord that plugs into the wall and a "power brick." Video card: This component handles drawing graphics in games and displaying videos. Hard Disk Drive (HDD): An HDD is an older version of the hard drive; it stores information like apps and documents on a physical disc that your computer reads with an arm that travels across it (similarly to a record player). Solid-State Drive (SSD): Newer SSDs store information on chips. They're faster, quieter, and more expensive than HDDs, though both do the same job. Optical disk drive (e.g., BD/DVD/CD drive): This feature is less common in newer computers, but they provide a place to enter a music, movie, or data disk for your computer to read. Card reader (SD/SDHC, CF, etc.): Your computer uses these to read from portable storage like SD cards. Here is a list of hardware that you might find connected to the outside of a computer, although many tablets, laptops, and netbooks integrate some of these items into their housings: Monitor: This is a display device; it shows you what's on your computer. Keyboard: You use this to enter text into apps and programs. Mouse: The mouse lets you select items on your monitor. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Otherwise known as a battery backup, this optional device lets your computer keep running even when you have an interruption to your main supply. Flash drive: A flash drive is a small temporary storage device that lets you move files from your computer and take them elsewhere. Printer: Printers create hard copies of documents and photos. Speakers: Your computer likely has internal speakers, but external ones can provide a better sound. External hard drive: An external hard drive is like a flash drive, but they're larger and have more storage capacity. Pen tablet: Tablets are good choices for artists and designers. You can "draw" on the screen, and the image will appear in an app. Less common individual computer hardware devices, either because these pieces are now usually integrated into other devices or because they've been replaced with newer technology: Sound card: The sound card handles audio for your computer, processing and sending it to the speakers. Network Interface Card (NIC😞 NICs usually add an Ethernet port that you can use to connect your computer to the internet. They may also provide Wi-Fi access. Expansion card (FireWire, USB, etc.): These, like NICs, add functionality to your computer. You use them to add more ports to connect things like external hard drives. Hard drive controller card: Also known as a disk controller, this device communicates between internal storage and the CPU. Scanner: A scanner lets you digitize documents and images. Floppy disk drive: CD- and DVD-ROMs replaced floppy drives as ways to read software. The following hardware is referred to as network hardware, and various pieces are often part of a home or business network: Digital modem (e.g., cable modem, DSL modem, etc.) Router: A router is an important part of a Wi-Fi network. It takes the wired connection from a modem and converts it into a wireless one. Network switch: A network switch also connects to the router and provides multiple Ethernet ports for additional wired connections (for example, to a game console). Access point: A wireless access point is similar to a router; it also transmits a wireless network signal, but it does so without a dedicated modem. Repeater: A repeater, like a wireless extender, expands the range of a Wi-Fi signal. Bridge: You may not have much personal use for a bridge, but in business settings, they link multiple physical networks to cover a wider area. Print server: Print servers manage jobs you've told to print. It's the software that goes between your computer and the printer. Firewall: Firewalls are security elements that stop unauthorized users from accessing your computer. Network hardware isn't as clearly defined as some other types of computer hardware. For example, many home routers will often act as a combination router, switch, and firewall. In addition to all the items listed above, there's more computer hardware called auxiliary hardware, of which a computer might have none, or several, of some kinds: Fan (CPU, GPU, Case, etc.): Fans move hot air from inside your computer case to stop components from overheating. Heat sink: Heat sinks also absorb heat, usually channeling it to a fan to be sent outside the computer. Data cable: These physically transmit information between, for example, a modem and a router. Power cable: This hardware transmits power, typically from a wall socket to a piece of hardware. CMOS battery: These batteries hold a very small amount of information that's necessary to run your computer. Daughterboard: A daughterboard works to expand the functionality of the motherboard; it also works with sound and graphics cards. Some of the devices listed above are called peripheral devices. A peripheral device is a piece of hardware (whether internal or external) that isn't actually involved in the computer's main function. Examples include a monitor, video card, disc drive, and mouse. Troubleshooting Faulty Computer Hardware Computer hardware components individually heat up and cool down as they're used and then not used, meaning that eventually, every single one will fail. Some may even fail at the same time. Fortunately, at least with desktop computers and some laptop and tablet computers, you can replace the non-working piece of hardware without having to replace or rebuild the computer from scratch. Here are some resources you should check out before you go out and purchase a new hard drive, replacement RAM sticks, or anything else you think may be going bad: https://www.lifewire.com/computer-hardware-2625895

I see useful knowledge in your future. Our psychic Pokémon weakness guide is here to tell you all you need to know about those other-worldly ‘mon on your team; though they likely already know the outcome of the battle before it begins, let’s pretend they don’t. These Pokémon can play on the fears of your opponents, but that does little good should their ‘mon be of the spooky variety themselves. Yes, ghosts are just one of the psychic-type weaknesses.Wait, before we dive into how to beat the likes of Alakazam, you should probably find out who the best psychic Pokémon are with our guide (we suggest looking at our Ralts evolution guide in that regard, too).

Nick movie: Steel Woman Time: ChanelQhu Netflix / Amazon / HBO: N/A Duration of the movie:108Mins Trailer:

With China and Russia as its allies, the authoritarian regime is assembling a Middle Eastern coalition as Washington’s influence wanes he first of what may be many US-led air strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi Shia militants in Yemen marks another dismaying milestone on a long trail of western policy failures in the Middle East – the most pivotal and consequential of which remains the decades-old failure to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. The fact the US, backed by Britain, was obliged to use force in response to trade-strangling Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping reflects an unpalatable reality: Washington’s political leverage is waning, its diplomacy ineffectual, its authority scorned. Undaunted, the Houthis vowed attacks would continue.We’re committed to keeping our quality reporting open.

Ce samedi 13 janvier, à partir de 17h50 sur TF1, Isabelle Ithurburu recevra Michèle Bernier dans 50' inside. L'occasion pour la journaliste de revenir sur le suicide de la mère de la comédienne. Derrière le grand sourire toujours affiché par Michèle Bernier, il est difficile d'imaginer les "grosses épreuves" qu'elle a traversées. Parmi ces "lourdes blessures", il y a la mort de sa mère, qui s'est suicidée. Un sujet qu'elle évoquera ce samedi 13 janvier à partir de 17h50 dans 50' inside sur TF1. "Vous aviez perdu votre maman, vous étiez jeune, vous aviez 28 ans. Elle était jeune elle aussi, elle avait 51 ans", a rappelé la journaliste Isabelle Ithurburu dans un extrait dévoilé en avant-première sur Instagram. Avant de lui demander : "Comment on surmonte un tel traumatisme ?" "Je ne sais pas", répond Michèle Bernier. Presque quarante ans après la disparition de sa mère, la comédienne de 67 ans n'a toujours pas de réponse. "Je me poserai toujours la question : pourquoi elle a voulu s'en aller ?", s'interroge encore l'actrice les larmes aux yeux. "Certainement que ça lui appartient", tente-t-elle d'expliquer quatre décennies après le suicide de sa mère, Odile Vaudelle, toujours inexpliqué. "On n'aurait jamais imaginé qu'elle puisse un jour faire ça, parce que c'était un soleil. C'était une femme incroyable", se remémore la fille du professeur Choron dans l'émission de TF1. "Je pense qu'elle me manquera toute ma vie, c'est comme ça", ajoute Michèle Bernier, qui explique avoir fait "un travail" sur elle-même. "C'est sûr que je me suis payé quelques années de psychanalyse pour ne pas sombrer, parce que je ne voulais pas non plus avoir cette fragilité qu'elle avait", révèle-t-elle. https://www.gala.fr/l_actu/news_de_stars/michele-bernier-se-confie-sur-le-suicide-de-sa-mere-jai-paye-des-annees-de-psychanalyse-pour-ne-pas-sombrer_536202

Tree finches made famous by Charles Darwin’s visit to the Galápagos islands in the 19th century have gone out of tune because of parasitic infections that damage the birds’ beaks and nostrils. Researchers found that male finches that picked up the fly parasite had malformed beaks and enlarged nostrils that led to “subpar songs”, making it harder for the birds to find mates and reproduce. The infection is caused by the Philornis downsi fly, which is thought to have been introduced to the islands by accident in the 1960s. The fly’s larvae infest birds’ nests and feed on the blood and tissues of their young. Surveys on the Galápagos islands show that the larvae are now rife and kill more than half of all nestling finches. Those that survive can have badly damaged nasal cavities and nostrils, and their beaks can be deformed to the point that they no longer close properly. In new research, Sonia Kleindorfer at Flinders University in Adelaide and colleagues examined the impact of the parasitic infections on what are commonly known as Darwin’s finches. Observations, measurements and sound recordings of the birds revealed that those with deformed nostrils had more “vocal deviation” when they sang to attract mates and produced lower notes than unaffected birds. The result was off-putting to females, and out-of-tune males struggled to find mates. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the researchers describe how critically endangered medium tree finches on the islands were so damaged by the parasites that they produced songs that sounded like other birds. The fly occurs on 13 of 15 islands surveyed to date and is considered the greatest risk to the survival of Galápagos land birds. Katharina Peters, a co-author on the study, said the work showed how even when not fatal, infestations of the fly larvae could disrupt the birds’ mating signals with “devastating effects” on po[CENSORED]tions. “This conclusion should be of particular cause for concern for the fate of Darwin’s finches,” the scientists write. Darwin collected many kinds of finches from the Galápagos during his voyage on the Beagle which set the stage for his ideas on evolution through natural selection. The birds are often credited as the inspiration for Darwin’s theory, but it was an ornithologist, John Gould, who realised that Darwin’s haul of finches were related. Darwin himself originally recorded the birds as members of different families. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/12/darwins-finches-sing-out-of-tune-mating-call-parasites-deform-beaks

Tommy Fleetwood registered a sensational eight-under round of 63 to storm to the top of the Dubai Invitational leaderboard on Saturday, sitting one shot ahead of Rory McIlory. Englishman Fleetwood sits on 15 under ahead of Sunday's fourth round, while McIlroy - who led after the opening two rounds - enjoyed a positive day too, posting a four-under round of 67, leaving him on 14 under for the tournament."I played very well, got off to the perfect start and was able to build some momentum," Fleetwood told Sky Sports. "I read the greens well, got that confidence going, that rhythm and that flow. You pick up that confidence when you start holing a few putts." Fleetwood hit four early birdies while world No 2 McIlroy's bogey on the fifth cancelled out his birdie on the previous hole, and the battle continued on the back nine with both players hitting three consecutive birdies. Sponsored Links Recommended byWhat is Outbrai Fleetwood had extended his lead thanks to a birdie on the 10th, but McIlroy pulled the gap back to one shot when he birdied the 16th to set up an exciting final round at the inaugural Dubai Invitational where the winner will take home $425,000. "I'm definitely well in it. I felt I did OK, had a bit of a slow start but got things going on the back nine to try and keep up with Tommy," McIlroy said. https://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/13047323/dubai-invitational-tommy-fleetwood-sensationally-storms-into-lead-with-rory-mcilroy-a-shot-back

At a press briefing in Tel Aviv on Tuesday - after a day of meetings with Israeli leaders - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was surprisingly upbeat. Answering a question about the future of Gaza, he said he had just delivered a "new" and "very powerful" message to the Israelis - one that would end the cycle of violence in the Middle East once and for all. Blinken had spent the past four days travelling around the Middle East, with three objectives - persuading Israel to wind down its offensive, reducing tensions in the region, and easing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. As he concluded a trip which also took in Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, US-led air strikes were launched at Houthis in Yemen. While Blinken flew back across the Atlantic, the attacks will have left him wondering how his second objective can be met. But the news conference in Tel Aviv days before hinted at the possibility of progress on what lies ahead. Here was the offer: The Arab leaders would support regional integration, including normalised relations with Israel, in exchange for an end to the Gaza War, and Israel's acceptance of a "clear path" to Palestinian political rights and a unified Palestinian state, comprising the West Bank and Gaza. The plan, Blinken says, would have the additional benefit of isolating Iran and reducing what he said was its malign efforts to destablise the region through proxy actors like Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthi movement. The US secretary has acknowledged that adopting the American proposal would require some hard choices on the part of the Israelis, but he insisted that the promise of a durable regional peace was worth the effort. "The other path," Blinken said, "is to continue to see the terrorism, the nihilism, the destruction by Hamas, by the Houthis, by Hezbollah, all backed by Iran." A senior US State Department official, speaking on background, was even more blunt - Israel ultimately doesn't have a choice. At some point, the official told me, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israelis would have to face the reality that if they don't make concessions to their Arab neighbours, they will be left dealing with the chaos and devastation they created in Gaza on their own. The Arabs simply will not fund yet another rebuild, and no-one - including the Americans - has any interest in participating in the kind of multinational peacekeeping force that Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant suggested last week. "Other Arab countries will not contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza unless it is part of a bigger political settlement," says Kim Ghattas, a Lebanon-based Middle East expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "Netanyahu doesn't seem to have grasped that yet." This, in essence, has become the American strategy for the Gaza War endgame. The carrot for the Israelis is normalisation and regional stability. The stick? Well, the stick is that there are no other carrots out there. Just a lot of bad options. The stick certainly isn't the threat of terminating, or even placing conditions on, US aid to the Israelis, which American officials, from President Joe Biden on down, have routinely ruled out. There are other components to the American plan, including pressuring the Palestinian Authority to enact political and judicial reforms - addressing corruption, increasing transparency and loosening media restrictions - that would position it to govern a unified Palestinian state. On Wednesday, Blinken's armoured motorcade rolled from Tel Aviv to Ramallah in the West Bank for a closed-door meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas - talks, the US secretary said, that resulted in a commitment to enact meaningful change. Dov Waxman, a professor of Israel studies at UCLA, is not certain such a commitment is solid, however. "Since the Palestinian Authority is now widely perceived by Palestinians to be illegitimate, it makes it very hard for its officials, including Abbas himself, to support democratising because doing so would jeopardise their own rule and even the Authority's continued existence," he said. If Blinken's trip was heavy on discussion of a seemingly distant future of regional peace, it was short on concrete details about how to get to that point. Israel, at least so far, has shown few signs of winding down its Gaza campaign - an essential first step before any grand American-brokered deal can begin to take shape. "The Biden administration is somehow still hoping it can put this on the table as an end goal to work towards, using the normalisation talks as lever or momentum, including to convince the Israelis to get on board the process," says Ghattas. "That's all fine in theory, but in practice it's going to be very hard." While the Americans have said Israel is on the verge of lowering the tempo of its campaign, in the south of Gaza, around the town of Khan Younis, Israel's efforts have been intensifying of late. Blinken did announce on Tuesday night that the Americans and Israelis had reached an agreement to allow a UN-led "assessment mission" to enter the northern part of the Gaza Strip to determine when Palestinian civilians can return to their homes. The plan was light on details, however, and the assessment is almost certain to be bleak. Blinken acknowledged that the effort won't achieve results "overnight". Much of Gaza City has been reduced to rubble, unexploded ordinance is a concern, and public services are limited at best. In fact, Gaza as a whole is teetering on the brink of a humanitarian abyss. Early in the trip, Blinken visited a World Food Programme warehouse in Amman, Jordan, that serves as a depot for aid to Gaza. Before his arrival, Sheri Ritsema-Anderson, UN resident coordinator at UN Jordan, painted a dire picture of the situation for Palestinian civilians. "In the last 15 years that I've been in the Middle East, I've not seen a situation like this," she told me. "This is catastrophic." It's not just food, she added. Power stations and wastewater facilities need fuel. Hospitals need supplies and equipment. The number of aid trucks entering Gaza, through circuitous routes from Jordan and elsewhere, are not nearly enough. Talking to reporters in Cairo before departing the region on Thursday, Blinken bristled at the suggestion that the Americans have been too focused on long-term planning instead of the more pressing humanitarian concerns. "We're very focused on this," he said. "It is vital that as long as this is going on, every effort is be made to make sure that civilians who are caught in the crossfire of Hamas's making don't continue to suffer." The numbers are what they are, however. The conflict has resulted in the death of more than 23,000 Palestinian civilians so far, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. And American - and Blinken's - attention is stretched thin, as was clearly demonstrated during his Middle East tour. Houthi rebel attacks on commercial shipping have virtually shut down the Red Sea. The clashes between Israeli and Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border appear to be intensifying. US forces in Syria and Iraq are under attack by Iran-backed militias. The situation was fraught when Blinken arrived in the region on Friday 5 January. It remains so as he concluded his fourth solo trip here since the war began. There is sure to be a fifth trip soon enough. And many more. "I think the Biden administration is desperately trying to do some damage-control over its continued support for the war and opposition to an immediate ceasefire," UCLA's Waxman said. The White House, he said, wants to assure Arab allies - and domestic critics within Biden's Democratic Party - that they understand Palestinian grievances and aren't giving Israel a green light for unconstrained warfare. With this latest seven-day, 10-stop diplomatic effort, the Americans appear determined to prove they are inexhaustable, if nothing else. And they seemed convinced that the effort, even if it appears to be short on results at the moment, is proof of continuing American power and influence. "The path is clearly there," Blinken said of a way to regional peace. "It's possible. We can see it." A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, as the saying goes. But the American secretary on this trip spent considerably more time talking about where the path ends than how it might start. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67949952

Lorsque vous êtes malades, votre organisme a été contaminé. Mais par quoi ? Un virus ou une bactérie ? Pour comprendre de quoi il s'agit, voici comment faire la différence entre les deux. Bactéries, virus ? Tous les mêmes, tous méchants ? Loin de là. S’ils appartiennent tous à la grande famille des microbes, qu’ils sont minuscules et qu’on les confond souvent, ils sont bien différents dans leur forme et les maladies qu’ils peuvent engendrer. Découvrir notre dernier podcast Dans le cas d'une infection ou de plusieurs infections, il convient donc de savoir quelle en est l'origine. Alors, pour ne pas se tromper, voici comment faire la différence entre un virus et une bactérie. Si certains d’entre eux sont encore plus petits que les bactéries, des virus XL ont été récemment découverts. Mais cette taille qui ne les rend pas pour autant indépendants. En effet, un virus n’est pas autonome comme une bactérie. Ils sont des agents infectieux qui ont besoin des cellules pour se reproduire. C’est ce qu’on appelle un parasite intercellulaire. Ils vont pénétrer une cellule pour se multiplier et ainsi en contaminer d’autres. Un virus est contagieux et se transmet d’un être à un autre en empruntant différentes voies : respiratoires, digestives, sexuelles ou encore par la peau. Tous les organismes vivants peuvent être victimes d’un virus : les humains, les animaux et les végétaux. Ils peuvent être responsables de nombreuses maladies et de divers degrés de gravité : rhume, grippe, chikungunya, SIDA, grippe aviaire, rougeole, polio… La liste est longue ! https://news.maxisciences.com/sante/maladies/virus-et-bacteries-quelle-est-la-difference_art41349.html?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=FR_L'Internaute+(CCM+Benchmark)_L'Internaute+%3A+A+la+Une&utm_content=Santé+%3A+quelle+est+la+différence+entre+un+virus+et+une+bactérie+%3F&utm_campaign=pmo_gts_article_desktop_desktop_test_geoloc_maxisciences&dicbo=v4-uLqTFhl-1080951072

Nous utilisons la version 6.7 d'Adobe Lightroom. Nous désactivons l'accélération GPU et effectuons des traitements d'export avec notamment une correction d'objectif. Le niveau de multithreading n'a pas beaucoup été amélioré par rapport à l'ancienne version que nous utilisions, nous continuons donc d'effectuer deux exports JPEG en parallèle de deux lots de 96 photos issues d'un Canon 5D Mark II.Lightroom profite peu des threads supplémentaires malgré le lancement de deux exports en parallèle. Les temps de traitement augmentent de 6% dans les deux cas face aux modèles X. Le gain générationnel important que nous avions noté la dernière fois permet au modeste 2600 de passer devant le 1800X. Nous utilisons la version 11.2 du logiciel Optics Pro de DxO. Nous traitons cette fois-ci 48 photos RAW issues d'un 5D Mark II auxquelles nous appliquons diverses retouches (compensation d'exposition, réduction du bruit, corrections optiques, etc). Nous réglons le nombre de photos à traiter en parallèle sur le nombre de coeurs physiques présents sur le processeur (le maximum autorisé par le logiciel).

Se lancer, échouer, prendre le temps d’élaborer une stratégie, repartir. Voilà la mécanique simplifiée de Howl, dernier né des studios Mi’pu’mi Games, sorti sur Switch et PC le 14 novembre 2023. Dans une ambiance digne du jeu du Loup-Garou , ce jeu au tour par tour nous propose de se creuser les méninges et de peaufiner les tactiques.Un mal nommé le « Howl » (ou « Hurlement ») ravage le royaume. Seule une prêtresse, sourde, résiste à cette « peste hurlante ». Le joueur l’incarne et doit tenter de trouver un remède pour sauver le monde. Pour ce faire, ce jeu indépendant se divise en quatre chapitres et soixante niveaux au total. Dans chacun d’eux, un défi au tour par tour. Pour l’emporter, la prêtresse doit se frayer un chemin à travers champs ou slalomer en forêt tout en évitant les bêtes. Chaque tour permet de se déplacer ou de se défendre contre les monstres, mais entraîne aussi leur déplacement. Lire aussi : Test Endless Dungeon : un fantastique Far West spatial où résilience et stratégie sont la clé À la manière d’un jeu d’échecs, vous devrez anticiper leurs mouvements et optimiser vos actions. Au fur et à mesure des niveaux, le jeu se complexifie lentement : nouveaux monstres aux déplacements plus dangereux, en parallèle de nouvelles capacités et armes pour les repousser. Pas de panique, un mode permet de matérialiser les effets de chaque décision et d’améliorer ses chances de réussite. Au bout de quelques niveaux, le processus de jeu semble toutefois assez répétitif. Les surprises sur la route permettent ponctuellement de casser le roulement qui s’installe. Pas de grand rebondissement mais le jeu est idéal pour développer son esprit tactique sans se prendre la tête. Howl est disponible sur Switch et PC (via Steam) pour 14,99 €. Une démo gratuite est disponible sur le Nintendo eShop pour les plus frileux. Il sortira sur PlayStation 5, Xbox et Epic Games Store le 23 janvier 2024. https://www.ouest-france.fr/gaming/tests/test-du-jeu-video-howl-un-conte-tactique-a-la-croisee-des-echecs-et-du-loup-garou-3edd43d2-846d-11ee-9b65-2282e6d4bdd9
