We are in beta 5, or what is the same, in a few weeks we should see the final version of macOS High Sierra, with the possibility of connecting external graphics. We will see if it is a one-off measure or is it prolonged in the following versions. However, for Apple, this function is in beta, and therefore does not guarantee its correct operation.

MacBook keyboard

It is not the first time that this conference has discovered a bug, exploit or failure in the Mac operating system, Safari browser, iOS and the rest of current OS. In this case it is a discovery by which it is possible access the Touch Bar on Macs using the Safari browser.

It seems that this is not the first time that this has happened and it is that in 2016 we already saw a similar failure caused by the Touch Bar of these MacBook Pro. In any case it is not a major problem since all they have managed to do is eType remotely on the Mac Touch Bar and control shortcuts.
