Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB Adapter Designed for Apple Mac Computers Used in Audio Production
Sonnet Technologies has announced the release of the Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB adapter for Mac computers. This is a compact bus-powered Gigabit Ethernet adapter with AVB (Audio Video Bridging) network support designed for Apple Mac computers with Thunderbolt ports. The adapter is designed for use with the Avid Pro Tools | Carbon used in the process of creating music. It allows MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers that do not have built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect directly to an Avid interface using a Cat 6 cable.
Behind the AVB name is a set of standards that provide improved synchronization, low latency, and reliable connectivity in switched Ethernet networks. It is designed to overcome the problems associated with trying to connect different analog and digital audio and video equipment together, and to standardize a common connection (Gigabit Ethernet) that allows devices to communicate and operate in perfect synchronization with each other.
The Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB 40Gb/s Thunderbolt Adapter supports the proprietary AVB version used by Avid Pro Tools | Carbon for audio streaming with 32-bit floating point representation. When used outside of Pro Tools, the Sonnet adapter also supports the fully synchronized, low-latency audio and video streaming over Ethernet required for standard AVB workflows.
The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers are extremely popular for use in professional audio production, but lack the wired Gigabit Ethernet port required for use in many AVB applications. The Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB adapter eliminates this shortcoming. iMac and Mac mini users can use the Sonnet adapter in combination with the built-in Ethernet port, dedicating one port for AVB use and another port for connecting to a standard network or shared storage.
The Sonnet Thunderbolt AVB adapter costs $150.

Apple has released a major update for Mac computers – more than fifty fixes and the long-awaited release of “Universal Control”

Apple has released an update to the macOS Monterey operating system, the fourth major update since its release in October 2021.
macOS Monterey 12.4 comes out two months after the launch of macOS Monterey 12.3. One of the important innovations was the Universal Control function.
The initial announcement of Universal Control took place almost a year ago – in June 2021. In March, with the release of macOS Monterey 12.3, it began to work in beta mode, and now there has been an official release, which Apple considers hassle-free. Universal Control lets you use one keyboard and mouse to work on your Mac and iPad.
For Studio Display, macOS Monterey 12.4 adds support for firmware 15.5, which is designed to improve the quality of the webcam. There’s also an update to the Podcasts app that lets you limit the number of episodes you keep on your Mac and automatically delete old podcast episodes.
Apple has also added more than fifty fixes for security vulnerabilities in macOS 12.4. The macOS Monterey 12.4 update can be downloaded from the Software Update section of System Preferences.

McDonalds introduced a smart smoke detector in the form of “Big Mac”. If smoke is detected in the kitchen, he will offer to order something from McDonalds

McDonalds has introduced a smart smoke detector in the Netherlands that looks like an upside-down Big Mac. The device is called McDelivery Detector, and this name well reflects its essence.
The sensor is supposed to be installed on the ceiling in the kitchen. When smoke is detected, McDelivery Detector will prompt the user not to bother with further cooking, but simply to order something from the McDonalds assortment instead of what burned out on the stove or microwave. If the user agrees, the order is automatically routed to the nearest McDonalds restaurant.
McDelivery Detector is only available as part of an advertising campaign in the Netherlands. In order to enter the giveaway and get one of the sensors, participants in the game must submit examples of “their worst culinary mistakes.”

“The Holy Grail for Vintage Computer Collectors”. Apple I autographed by Steve Jobs put up for auction
In the US, an interesting lot appeared at the Goldin auction – an Apple I computer from the first batch autographed by Steve Jobs. The description of the lot says that this is “the holy grail for collectors of vintage computers.”
The serial number 01-0050 is marked on the computer, and it is applied by hand and by the hand of Steve Jobs. It is emphasized that the device is operational – this was confirmed by Daniel Kottke, one of the first employees of Apple. The kit also includes a power supply, Sanyo VM-4509 monitor, Datanetics keyboard, and cables. Along with the computer, the winner of the auction will receive a reproduction of the original manual, autographed by Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne.
