I purchased the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock for use in my studio, and after I’ve spent some time with it I decided to review it. This will be a short review (as it’s just a docking station) but for those of you looking for a docking station to use on a Linux notebook, then this might be a solution for you.
What are some of the important areas that a Chief Information Security Officer should focus on? In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss a recent article where Aman Sood (a CISO for Jimdo) discusses important aspects of the job to pay attention to. This information from the perspective of an actual CISO offers a unique lens through which to look at these critical focus areas.
Imagine a future where your ultraportable notebook can morph into a gaming machine while docked at your desk. You don’t have to imagine it – it’s possible right now by utilizing an External GPU (eGPU). But unfortunately, Thunderbolt is a confusing pain. And many noteboook vendors are jerks. In the LearnLinuxTV guide to eGPU’s, this concept will be demystified, and you’ll learn everything you’ll need to know in order to use an External GPU.
