The moon is high overhead, and I kick off from the sand, keeping my head above water. I use my hands and feet to keep myself afloat, and I look up at the night sky once more. I take it in as I drift, letting the water move me out, away from shore. My soul drinks in the night, and I am intoxicated. The night, the cold, the dark - they are my home. They welcome me, and I feel the cold now, as if it were greeting me into my dwelling place. They may see that, growing up in such a place as this, it is not the dark that we should fear, nor the cold. I have seen the world in daylight, warm and alive, but I live in it's other half, it's darkness, cold, endless abyss of the unknown. We only fear what we do not know, and if we let it go, then we have nothing to fear. The latest version of Apple’s Mac operating system, High Sierra, was released last week and includes a ton of new features and performance enhancements. It’s full of tweaks to essential apps like Safari, but the remarkable stuff is under-the-hood: a brand-new file system, as well as the groundwork for virtual-reality experiences. Today, LG’s UltraFine monitors are getting a High Sierra update to improve performance and features on MacBooks, made possible thanks to Apple’s new release. When updating to a new major release of macOS, it’s always a little nerve-wracking to see which of your third-party accessories and software play nice with the new update. Sometimes you’ll need to download even more software to ensure smooth compatibility for the rest of your system, including the inevitable bug fixes and firmware updates. To make things as smooth as possible for owners of the LG UltraFine Monitor updating to High Sierra, they’ve just dropped the LG Screen Manager – a new automatic software update program that will seamlessly integrate your display with High Sierra while improving key features. Update: Separate tests by software engineer Dan Loewenherz show that a 10w charger is the sweet-spot if you’re looking to balance charging time against cost and portability. The iPhone 8 and the upcoming iPhone X both support fast charging via Apple’s 29W USB-C adapter and USB-C to Lightning Cable. Apple says that by using fast charging, your iPhone can charge up to 50% in as little as 30 minutes. ![]() Unfortunately, the official first party charging accessories - its 29W USB-C Power Adapter ($49), and its 1-meter USB-C to Lightning Cable ($25) - cost nearly $75 combined. That’s a lot of money to spend on a fast charging solution, especially for one that isn’t exceedingly faster than Apple’s own 12W adapter + a regular USB to Lightning cable. The good news is that earlier this week Apple noted that third-party power adapters that meet the proper USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) spec would work as well.
