Deeper For Mac

What is the Deep Web exactly?

In it’s broadest sense, the Deep Web is simply any part of the Internet not indexed by search engines. This includes anything that requires an account to access, such as email, online banking, subscription services etc. However what is meant most often when someone talks about the Deep Web is the parts of the Internet which cannot be accessed through a normal web browser — the more specific term for this is the Dark Web.

There are many networks which constitute the Dark Web, however the most well-known and among the largest is TOR network. TOR was developed by the U.S.. Navy during the 90s to secure intelligence communications for the U.S.. government. TOR software has since been released to the public, and is now used for circumventing censorship, whistleblowing, evasion of cyberstalkers, and most infamously, illegal trade.

The Mac App Store is supposed to make installing apps easier and more convenient. And while this may be true in many cases, using the App Store can be a real pain when trying to quickly install an app for someone else who probably doesn’t know their Apple ID credentials. Download the old version of Deeper for Mac. If you experience any compatibility issues with Deeper for Mac, consider downloading one of the older versions of Deeper.MacUpdate stores previous versions of Deeper for you since v.2.0.4.

How to access the TOR network

The acronym “TOR” stands for “The Onion Router” and refers to the protocol used to transmit data. Each node on the TOR network decrypts one layer of a transmission, to learn where to send it next. The next node receiving the transmission does not know whether it is coming from the original sender or just another node, making it very difficult to trace back a transmission back to its original sender. The last node the transmission is sent to is an “exit node”, which decrypts the transmission itself and delivers it to the receiver.

It is important to note that the exit node can see the contents of the transmission, although it does not know who the original sender is. Therefore it is highly recommended to use end-to-end encryption for any communication via TOR. Fortunately the browser bundled with TOR helps with this, with features such as HTTPS-everywhere being enabled by default.

The TOR software bundle can be downloaded from the official TOR project website: https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en

Before using TOR, be sure to read the recommendations listed by the TOR project: https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en#warning

Once you have downloaded TOR, what are you going to do with it? It is possible to visit any regular, surface website with TOR, and your transmissions will be sent over the TOR network to protect your privacy. More than likely however you have downloaded TOR to visit sites not accessible on the surface web. If this is the case, below are a few “.onion” sites to start you off. These are only accessible via TOR:

Hidden Wiki (contains links to all kinds of TOR hidden services) – http://zqktlwi4fecvo6ri.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

AHMIA (search engine which indexes .onion sites) http://msydqstlz2kzerdg.onion/

TorLinks (similar to Hidden Wiki) – http://torlinksd6pdnihy.onion/

Torch (another .onion search engine) – http://xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion/a

What to expect while browsing the Deep Web?

Browsing websites (be they surface sites or .onion) via TOR has a number of tradeoffs. The onion routing protocol slows everything down, so browsing will be much slower than normal. Some websites will not allow you to post content or even visit the site when using TOR, because the exit node you are using to connect has been blocked (normally due to abuse in the past). In addition, you will not be able to use most browser extensions or plugins such as Flash. While you can add them, doing so can compromise privacy which defeats the purpose of using TOR in the first place.

When you visit .onion sites you’ll also notice they look much older and more primitive than normal websites. This is because the Deep Web is not nearly as commercialised as the surface web, so the sites look like they’re from the early 2000s.

It is very important to take as many security precautions as possible when browsing the Deep Web, as you will come across a far higher concentration of malicious sites than on the surface web. So cover your Mac’s camera, don’t give out any personal information and leave things like Javascript disabled as they can easily be exploited. It would also be a good idea to use a VPN, which you can ready more about in this article on Macsx.

An eGPU can give your Mac additional graphics performance for professional apps, 3D gaming, VR content creation, and more.

eGPUs are supported by any Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac¹ running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later. Learn how to update the software on your Mac.

An eGPU lets you do all this on your Mac:

Accelerate apps that use Metal, OpenGL, and OpenCL
Connect additional external monitors and displays
Use virtual reality headsets plugged into the eGPU
Charge your MacBook Pro while using the eGPU
Use an eGPU with your MacBook Pro while its built-in display is closed
Connect an eGPU while a user is logged in
Connect more than one eGPU using the multiple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your Mac²
Use the menu bar item to safely disconnect the eGPU
View the activity levels of built-in and external GPUs (Open Activity Monitor, then choose Window > GPU History.)

eGPU support in apps

eGPU support in macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later is designed to accelerate Metal, OpenGL, and OpenCL apps that benefit from a powerful eGPU. Not all apps support eGPU acceleration; check with the app's developer to learn more.³

In general, an eGPU can accelerate performance in these types of apps:

Pro apps designed to utilize multiple GPUs
3D games, when an external monitor is attached directly to the eGPU
VR apps, when the VR headset is attached directly to the eGPU
Pro apps and 3D games that accelerate the built-in display of iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro (This capability must be enabled by the app's developer.)

You can configure applications to use an eGPU with one of the following methods.

Use the Prefer External GPU option

Starting with macOS Mojave 10.14, you can turn on Prefer External GPU in a specific app's Get Info panel in the Finder. This option lets the eGPU accelerate apps on any display connected to the Mac—including displays built in to iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro:

Quit the app if it's open.
Select the app in the Finder. Most apps are in your Applications folder. If you open the app from an alias or launcher, Control-click the app's icon and choose Show Original from the pop-up menu. Then select the original app.
Press Command-I to show the app's info window.
Select the checkbox next to Prefer External GPU.
Open the app to use it with the eGPU.

You won't see this option if an eGPU isn't connected, if your Mac isn't running macOS Mojave or later, or if the app self-manages its GPU selection. Some apps, such as Final Cut Pro, directly choose which graphics processors are used and will ignore the Prefer External GPU checkbox.

Set an external eGPU-connected display as the primary display

If you have an external display connected to your eGPU, you can choose it as the primary display for all apps. Since apps default to the GPU associated with the primary display, this option works with a variety of apps:

Quit any open apps that you want the eGPU to accelerate on the primary display.
Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences. Select Displays, then select the Arrangement tab.
Drag the white menu bar to the box that represents the display that's attached to the eGPU.
Open the apps that you want to use with the eGPU.

If you disconnect the eGPU, your Mac defaults back to the internal graphics processors that drives the built-in display. When the eGPU is re-attached, it automatically sets the external display as the primary display.

About macOS GPU drivers

Mac hardware and GPU software drivers have always been deeply integrated into the system. This design fuels the visually rich and graphical macOS experience as well as many deeper platform compute and graphics features. These include accelerating the user interface, providing support for advanced display features, rendering 3D graphics for pro software and games, processing photos and videos, driving powerful GPU compute features, and accelerating machine learning tasks. This deep integration also enables optimal battery life while providing for greater system performance and stability.

Apple develops, integrates, and supports macOS GPU drivers to ensure there are consistent GPU capabilities across all Mac products, including rich APIs like Metal, Core Animation, Core Image, and Core ML. In order to deliver the best possible customer experience, GPU drivers need to be engineered, integrated, tested, and delivered with each version of macOS. Aftermarket GPU drivers delivered by third parties are not compatible with macOS.

The GPU drivers delivered with macOS are also designed to enable a high quality, high performance experience when using an eGPU, as described in the list of recommended eGPU chassis and graphics card configurations below. Because of this deep system integration, only graphics cards that use the same GPU architecture as those built into Mac products are supported in macOS.

Supported eGPU configurations

It's important to use an eGPU with a recommended graphics card and Thunderbolt 3 chassis. If you use an eGPU to also charge your MacBook Pro, the eGPU's chassis needs to provide enough power to run the graphics card and charge the computer. Check with the manufacturer of the chassis to find out if it provides enough power for your MacBook Pro.

Recommended graphics cards, along with chassis that can power them sufficiently, are listed below.
