With Blue Alert, both local and state-level authorities can push out notifications that warn the public to “threats to law enforcement.” In explaining this, the FCC says the authorities are able to push out Blue Alerts across a variety of … Continue reading

Satechi Aluminum Type-C Clamp Hub
Posted in: Today's Chili
Satechi is well known for rolling out accessories for computers as well as mobile devices for many a year now, so much so that they have gotten extremely good at it. In fact, many of Satechi’s past releases have always managed to successfully maintain the general design flow of the product or brand that it is supposed to work with, and the same applies to the all new Aluminum Type-C Clamp Hub that has been exclusively designed for the new 2017 iMac Pro, iMac Retina 4K and 27-inch 5K models.
This particular hub will add functionality to the iMac with a data only USB-C port, a trio of USB 3.0 ports with up to 5Gb/s for fast and secure data transfer, and a Micro/SD card reader. The best part of all? This is achievable all through a solitary USB-C connection, now how about that? In other words, you gain a whole lot more connectivity simply be “sacrificing” a single USB-C port, providing convenient access to any Mac user’s most-loved ports and devices.
What we like about the Aluminum Type-C Clamp Hub is also the fact that it is extremely easy and simple to set up. All that one needs to do is to plug it into one of the iMac’s Thunderbolt 3 ports and use the adjustable knob in order to fasten the hub to the bottom of your desktop computer. From there, you are good to go since there is no need for any kind of additional drivers or installation required. It will extend ports to the front of the iMac, ensuring that everything else is within reach while providing convenient access to peripheral devices at all times. The versatility of the hub frees up valuable desk space, while looking great in its sleek, brushed aluminum finish that certainly complements Apple accessories.
Expect the Satechi Aluminum Type-C Clamp Hub Pro to ship in the first week of January 2018 in silver or space gray with an asking price of $49.99 a pop.

As it stands, there are several different alerts that can be sent out nationwide during an emergency, like the Silver and Amber alerts. However recently the FCC has introduced a new alert system called the Blue Alert which will notify the public to threats to law enforcement that are happening in real time.
According to the FCC, “Blue Alerts warn the public when there is actionable information related to a law enforcement officer who is missing, seriously injured or killed in the line of duty, or when there is an imminent credible threat to an officer.” This will be part of the Emergency Alert System and will see the alert pushed out immediate warnings to state and local law enforcement, as well as to the public through broadcast, cable, satellite provides, and also onto consumer smartphones through the Wireless Emergency Alert system.
According to the Chairman of the FCC who detailed the new system, “Similar to the Amber Alerts that many are familiar with, Blue Alerts will enable authorities to warn the public when there is actionable information related to a law enforcement officer who is missing, seriously injured or killed in the line of duty, or when there is an imminent credible threat to an officer.”

Recently Google published its Chrome browser onto the Windows Store, which was a surprising move since no one really expected it. However it seems that it wasn’t done in the way that many of you guys would have expected, which is that instead of the actual Chrome app, it downloaded an app that opens a link to the Chrome download page.
Essentially what you were downloading was a link, and unsurprisingly Microsoft wasn’t particularly amused by it. So much so that the Chrome installer app on the Windows Store has since been removed. In a statement provided to The Verge, a Microsoft spokesperson said, “We have removed the Google Chrome Installer App from Microsoft Store, as it violates our Microsoft Store policies.”
Microsoft also adds, “We welcome Google to build a Microsoft Store browser app compliant with our Microsoft Store policies.” However as The Verge points out, there are a couple of reasons why Google might not want to comply with those policies, namely Windows 10 S in which it requires apps that browse the web to use the HTML and JavaScript engines provided by Windows 10, whereas Google uses its own Blink rendering engine.
It is possible that Google could create a special version of Chrome just for those purposes, but it does seem like a lot of effort just for a single version of Windows.
