I am not kidding. The average attention span of human beings has dropped from 12 to eight seconds in the last 20 years, which is less than a goldfish’s – which is nine seconds. Although this random nugget of trivia is controversial, it has many implications, one of which is related to your business website.

It will be beneficial to have a basic understanding of MIB and its working before moving on to different MIB browsers for managing SNMP devices. What is MIB? MIB stands for Management Information Bases. A MIB is indeed a structured text file that compiles all the network objects used by a specific hardware device that can be managed and controlled using the SNMP protocol. The setup and configuration of the SNMP-enabled devices are described by MIBs, which also include additional data on the IP address, the operating system version, as well as the amount of memory space available....

Businesses nowadays usually store their essential data on the Cloud or hard drives. But before you could do either of them, there’s a fair chance you can lose data. How? The major cause of data loss is an accidental deletion, which can happen at any time and by any person despite knowing they should back it up. After all, to err is human! So, did you just hit the “delete” button for the file containing all the information about the new project you were going to present tomorrow?...

Although being on your A-game throughout the week for 8-10 hours is impossible, an employee should be able to create value even in a few hours. Hence engaging with and monitoring employees is essential to determine the factors that motivate or demotivate them. Why is it crucial to keep a check on employee productivity? Evaluating performance can benefit the organization and the people working there. With many offices shifting to hybrid working systems, the need to monitor workflow has increased, and so have the roadblocks....

“I’ve never really played the Hollywood card, I’m not really an insider, that’s just not my thing. And I like to be able to say no. And that’s it.That’s not probably a politically correct thing to do. However, too bad. I’m still here 50 years later.” McDowell is talking to us from LA, his accent a soft mix of Yorkshire, where he grew up, and California where he has resided for much of his professional life....

Bem vindo, babies! Welcome to A Discovery of Witches, a world of magic, mortal danger, extremely covetable houses, and excellent coats (every character has at least one excellent coat. Presumably the babies will be fitted for theirs shortly). Though their world is fraught with danger, little Philip and Rebecca are lucky mites. Yes, they’ve been born into the middle of a war, but they’ve landed on the winning side, with a mum who’s an all-powerful witch prophesied to change the world, and a dad who drives a Bentley – it’s all the start in life any child needs....

During these difficult times, on-demand applications became a game-changer, making it possible for everyone to stay at home without any problem.

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 11 As this week proves once again, some of the most intriguing and exciting episodes of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD are those shift-to-the-next-story-arc episodes. We just had SHIELD escape from the future, and now we are back home to begin the next leg of our season five journey. The first half of this week’s episode was really just SHIELD acclimating and celebrating being back home but things soon take a shocking and horrific turn....

As we mentioned in our review of the Agents of SHIELD season 6 finale, the strength of the episode was not necessarily in its defeat of the shrike scourge but rather in its surprising, enigmatic setup for the final season next summer. In essence, the narrative arc ended when Yoyo avoided death and May took her last breath, and the epilogue began when Simmons assured us and the rest of her team that May would be perfectly fine....

The Josh Brolin-starring Outer Range premieres April 15 and looks like it could be a wild ride. The synopsis is terse and reads “A rancher fighting for his land and family stumbles upon an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness, forcing a confrontation with the Unknown in ways both intimate and cosmic in the untamable American West.” That, combined with an enigmatic first trailer, has our interest piqued....

Andor Episode 9 At the start of Andor episode 9, Dedra threatens Bix by saying, “The very worst thing you can do right now is bore me.” This is just before an interrogation scene, in which the stakes are high, but also muddled. As the first Star Wars TV series or film to really push into gritty and adult territory, the threat Dedra hurls at Bix is also on the mind of this viewer....

The clue is in the name that Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang/Ant-Man will once again be sharing the screen with Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne/Wasp, and that we’ll finally be spending some real time in the Quantum Realm. This mysterious land features briefly in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp, but here, it looks like it will be what ultimately unleashes the MCU’s next Thanos in the form of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror....

There’s a moment during Army of the Dead when a team led by former mercenary Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), on a mission to recover a casino owner’s cash from a vault in ruined, zombie-ravaged Las Vegas, comes upon the remains of a previous team seemingly sent into the city for the same reason. Ward’s right-hand man, a philosophically inclined “zombie killing machine” named Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick), muses that perhaps this is their team — and that they’re caught in a time loop, repeating the same disastrous actions over and over again....

Arrow Season 6 Episode 20 Arrow brought back a sensation I hadn’t felt in a while: waiting at the edge of my seat for every commercial break to be over. Courtroom dramas generally slow down the pace and weaken the story for shows that aren’t already set there, but this episode finally gave us something we’ve been wanting to see all season, and kept us guessing until the very end. Far and away the best performance of the episode is Rick Gonzalez as Rene....

Arrow Season 6 Episode 8 “Crisis on Earth X Part 2” finally got us rolling on the real conflict, after an episode of setup. It brought us some great fight scenes, campy dialogue, and one excellent sequence of heroes getting ready to punch Nazis. On the downside, using Nazism in this political climate, especially in such a cartoonish way, feels garish and tone-deaf at best, and the dialogue woes don’t help....
