6/19/2023 0 Comments Malwarebytes vs macscanIt’s understandable that it doesn’t keep track of as many security threats as third-party products.īesides, the number of viruses affecting Apple computers is growing at an alarming rate. It is, after all, a tech company that develops both hardware and software, and digital security is just one of the many things Apple is focusing on. XProtect, for example, does not identify as many types of potential malware as third-party antivirus software, and gaps in its library of malicious codes can leave users exposed. If you want total protection, you need a dedicated piece of software for fighting malware and viruses.Īpple provides better security features and malware protection than other operating systems, but Apple’s measures aren’t foolproof. Apple may be better than most at making security software, but it’s primarily a hardware company. That being said, the built-in security features of Macs aren’t enough to completely guard your device and your personal information from malware. 1 These features have been available since the last few macOS versions. Macs keep malicious software from wreaking havoc using tools like the Executive Disable (XD), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and System Integrity Protection that run in the background to prevent viruses from accessing critical files. Keeping malware out is one thing protecting critical system files from attacks is another. Apple enables these features by default, so you don’t have to worry about getting your settings right. The computers automatically quarantine suspicious files, meaning that they can’t access critical system software or change the computer’s core functions. In general, the design of Macs limits damage from malware. And if it finds any malicious code, it immediately neutralizes it. There’s also the Mac Malware Removal Tool that scans the entire system regularly to make sure nothing has snuck past XProtect. That’s just the first layer of protection. If it finds malware on a file or application, it immediately notifies the user and blocks the threat. It scans applications and files for viruses and malware using a database that Apple updates daily. XProtect is a built-in proprietary antivirus software for Macs. Security has always been one of the main focuses of Apple software, and we see that in the fact that it has included XProtect in every macOS system since 2009. Avast Antivirus – Mac is Protected Do Macs Have Built-in Antivirus Software? On this page, we’ll explain just how protected Macs are against malware, what you can do to protect your digital safety, and what the biggest cybersecurity threats are to Mac users. If you’re a Mac user who believes Macs don’t need antivirus, it’s time to think again. In 2019, for instance, there was a 400-percent increase in Mac malware compared to the previous year, according to Malwarebytes. Moreover, the number of macOS malware is quickly increasing as more and more people switch to Macbooks and Macs. Macs are still very much vulnerable malware - it’s just that there are more types of Windows malware in existence today. That, however, is nothing but a dangerous misconception. That and the fact that a huge majority of malware is designed for Windows lead many to believe that Macs don’t need antivirus software. That means a piece of malware designed to exploit a Windows vulnerability does no harm to a Mac and vice versa. Here’s one tidbit of information about malware that many people don’t know: Many of them are OS-specific. Keeping macOS up-to-date helps patch security vulnerabilities.Read our Bitdefender review, a top-rated software with 100-percent virus detection rate. Macs need third-party antivirus for total protection.Macs have built-in antivirus and security software, but they aren’t foolproof.

6/19/2023 0 Comments Van gogh immersive experiencesAt least two more companies are having a gogh at their own separate productions. If your head's already spinning like the sky in Starry Night, we haven't even touched on the dozens of other shows happening worldwide. And in May, Immersive Van Gogh - an exhibit that debuted in Toronto last June - will return to the city, occupying the former home of the Toronto Star printing press, a warehouse that gives them 600,000 cubic feet to play with.įor Vancouver's edition of Imagine Van Gogh, the show is projected on walls that are eight-metres high. Despite that blip, sales suggest the city is still hungry to see it, and Di Corpo says some 50,000 tickets have moved in Edmonton thus far.Īlso in June, Beyond Van Gogh: An Immersive Experience will arrive in Calgary - a completely different production, though also immersive and also involving elaborate projected displays of Van Gogh's paintings. The same spectacle was expected to open in Edmonton last week, though COVID-19 health and safety guidelines have forced it to reschedule to June. According to the event's marketing and PR director, Angela Di Corpo, roughly 100,000 tickets have sold in the city so far, and its run has been extended through August to meet demand. Masked visitors can roam the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre on a timed ticket, basking in supersized versions of the artist's greatest hits as a classical soundtrack plays. It's a multimedia production, one that takes familiar images of Van Gogh's paintings and blows them up into light projections. Still, since March 19, people in Vancouver have been able to visit something called Imagine Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition. Movies and concerts are off-limits, and getting lost inside an art gallery remains forbidden. 6/19/2023 0 Comments Voodoopad androidPrimate Labs is committed to providing objective and realistic benchmark tests, and will continue to work to ensure that Geekbench meets these goals now and in the future. An initial review which included several handsets from Google, HTC, Samsung, LG, and OnePlus is already complete, and no other handsets were discovered to be boosting.įinally, Primate Labs will make the “private” build of Geekbench available to trusted journalists to discover and hopefully discourage this behavior by device manufacturers. Primate Labs also will conduct a review of handsets from other manufacturers to determine if they are also manipulating benchmark results. Primate Labs will exclude the following Huawei phones from the Android Benchmark Chart and the Mobile Benchmark Chart, and will add an alert to individual results for the following Huawei phones that the phones attempt to manipulate benchmark results: Primate Labs is taking several steps to prevent our users from being misled by “boosted” Geekbench results, and to discourage device manufacturers from adding this behavior to future devices. Hence, the practice of cheating in an attempt to have the best of both. Skin temperature, battery life, and device lifespan could all be impacted – something that would definitely affect the reviews and reception of a smartphone. If Huawei wanted one of its devices to offer this level of performance in games and other applications, it could do so, but at the expense of other traits. The entire goal of benchmarks and reviews is to try to convey the experience a buyer would get for a smartphone, or anything else for that matter. Some have asked me why this issue matters if the hardware is clearly capable of performance like this, why should Huawei and HiSilicon not be able to present it that way? The higher performance results that 3DMark, GFXBench, and now Geekbench show are not indicative of the performance consumers get with their devices on real applications. Ryan Shrout of Shrout Research, when discussing Huawei’s behavior, explains why this is important: Primate Labs expects devices to treat benchmarks no differently than any other application. Furthermore, based on results from the Geekbench Browser, Primate Labs also suspects similar models (the Huawei P20 and the Huawei Mate 10) are altering their behavior. However, the Huawei P20 Pro produced scores, on average, 7.8% lower in the “private” version, and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro produced scores, on average, 10.2% lower.īased on these results Primate Labs strongly suspects these two phones are altering their behavior to boost Geekbench scores. In Primate Labs’ preliminary testing, performance was identical between the “public” and “private” versions on several Android phones, including the Google Pixel 2, the LG G7, and the Samsung Galaxy S9. Conversely, if the “private” version returns significantly lower scores than the “public” version, then the device is likely boosting benchmark scores. If both the “public” and the “private” versions of Geekbench return the same scores, then it is unlikely the device is boosting benchmark scores by altering its behavior. We did this using our “private” version of Geekbench, which runs the same benchmark tests as the “public” version of Geekbench but has its identifying information (such as the package identifier) changed. Last week Anandtech published an article that revealed recent Huawei devices alter their behavior to boost the performance of two popular benchmark applications – 3DMark and GFXBench.Īfter further investigation, Primate Labs has discovered that Huawei devices also alter their behavior when running Geekbench. 6/19/2023 0 Comments Bissell power force helixThe PowerForce Helix versus a dark velvet couch covered in white cat fur was sort of a success story. We still think we could’ve used an additional height option for high-pile. Even on the high carpet setting, the vacuum was difficult to push across the shag rug, which was probably partially due to the light plastic wheels not navigating the rug well. We liked that there were five settings, though, from bare floor to high carpet. You can adjust the height of the floor unit to the carpet height with a manual dial on the base, which was a pain to bend over and do when moving between a lot of different surfaces. We vacuumed a variety of rugs: a medium-density synthetic shag, a chunky jute loop, a flatweave, a flokati shag, and a lower-pile machine-loomed rug. The hose is very stiff and only 5 feet long, which is really too short to be useful for much more than vacuuming under the couch cushions. Needless to say, that’s not making it up to the ceiling fan blades. The “extension” tool didn’t help either-it was only about the length of a forearm. The hose detaches from the canister so you can use it with the included crevice tool, dusting brush, or extension wand. We removed it and rinsed it after a couple uses, let it dry overnight, then replaced it. The washable filter is basically just a sponge nestled in the top of the dirt tank. Theoretically, we should’ve been able to hold the canister over a trashcan and just let the dirt drop out, but the hair and carpet fluff we’d sucked up defied gravity and stayed put inside the helix, so we had to scoop it out by hand. The canister comes off the upright easily by pressing a button at its apex and can be emptied by a trap door at its base. We think this is intended to keep the dirt and hair moving around in the canister so it doesn’t clog up the hose connection or the filter. The transparent dirt canister sits at the front, and when it’s in action, you can see the debris flying around in a helix pattern-hence the “Helix” model name. We liked how easily maneuverable it was and think the weight is an asset if you have multiple floors to vacuum. Unfortunately, that doesn’t give us much help with our power cord, which just swings around on its one hook. If you find yourself in the same position (we hope not), at least know that there are installation and maintenance videos for this model on Bissel’s website. Along with the two screws and the lower cord hook, the user guide was missing. At least we think that’s all you’d have to do. If we’d actually had all the parts that should’ve come with the PowerForce Helix, we would’ve slid the upright handle into position, screwed it into place with the included screws, attached the hose, popped the lower cord wrap hook into place on the back of the vacuum, and she would’ve been ready to go. We have your hardware and Allen wrenches. Incidentally, if anybody out there just bought an Ikea bed and only found two little screws included in the package, contact us. We understand that returns happen for lots of reasons, but why didn’t anybody check the return before sending it back out to a new customer? Why didn’t they bother to tape the box shut? We’re mystified. While we honestly think the PowerForce Helix is a decent machine, it arrived in a mess. Whoever repacked the vacuum had thrown in a bag with enough random nuts, bolts, screws, and Alan wrenches to build an Ikea bed, but none of these was the size we needed to actually assemble the vacuum. This was probably a return-and not a good one. If there was supposed to be any literature or warranty information in the box, that was missing, too. Though the vacuum itself didn’t look used (we checked the filter, dirt tank, and brushes), we were missing the pack with the two screws that we needed to assemble the handle, as well as the lower hook that the power cord is supposed to wrap around. The packing materials and bags the vacuum was supposed to arrive in were crammed in the box around the vacuum parts. The box arrived unsealed (just folded closed), and the contents had obviously been removed at some point and then carelessly repacked. We ordered from Walmart, but the shipping label says it came directly from Bissell (as a third-party supplier).

There is a heavy emphasis on the lows and highs. Hetfield’s tone is known for its scooped midrange. Metallica amp control explanation diagram. If it does not have presence or depth controls, you can ignore them. Your amplifier will need to be able to pull off a saturated sound for these settings to work. The best amp settings to sound like Metallica are: We will touch on some of the gear I recommend to help get you there! You will also need guitars suitable for the role, as they play a big part as well. If you want to recreate Metallica’s sound, you’ll need an amp that can produce an aggressive tone. These are not classic rock amps by any means. They are designed to produce a lot of distortion. One of the things that makes Metallica’s guitar tone so unique is their use of certain amplifiers. But they’ve always been associated with a powerful, aggressive tone. Their mid scooped sound was easily recognizable in the early days. However, the band’s sound has evolved over the years. The Metallica guitar tone is saturated high gain with a tailored midrange. You have come to the right article! What is Metallica’s Sound? Whether you’re a fan of Metallica or just interested in learning more about guitar tone. We’ll also provide tips for guitarists looking to recreate their sound. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into Metallica’s amp settings. From here, you should have a good starting point. Treble and bass should be set to 6 and midrange to 3. If your amp can provide thick, saturated distortion, set the gain relatively high to around 8. One primary factor is their use of high gain amps and the right settings. James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett’s distinctive guitar sounds have helped to establish the band’s sound. Both in their early thrash metal days and even more recently. The crushing guitar tone of Metallica has become legendary in the heavy metal world. 6/18/2023 0 Comments Duckstation bios androidThose noted with an asterix cannot play every game at full speed, and so performance may vary. Here is a general list of systems that can be played on Android. This controller also has a power passthrough, so you can charge the phone while playing (sadly the USB-C passthrough does not support video out).Īnother important aspect of retro gaming is to build your ROM library. This USB-C controller will wrap around the phone and provide a more seamless experience than clipping a controller to your phone. If you are using an Android phone, then I recommend a telescopic controller like the GameSir X2. Note that in order to use a USB controller, you will also need an OTG adapter to plug the controller into the device’s USB-C port (you could also use a USB hub to plug in multiple controllers at once!). You could use a bluetooth controller like the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, or a wired controller like the Betop BD2E. Speaking of controllers, there are plenty of options out there, but I prefer to use something that’s somewhat retro-friendly. You can use a larger card than these but then you’ll have a card that costs more than the device itself, and are you really going to play more than 512GB of games at once? 128GB cards: A 256GB or 512GB card will allow you to store even more of those larger games. A 128GB card will allow you to load EVERY 8-bit and 16-bit game out there, just all of the arcade games that work, and quite a few PS1, Dreamcast, PSP, GameCube, PS2, and Sega CD games (those systems have the largest file sizes). In general, I would expect to pay $20 for a 128GB card, $30 for a 256GB card, and $60 for a 512GB. The prices fluctuate all the time, so keep an eye out for deals. In general, I prefer the cards listed below, in order or preference. I recommend using a card from reputable brands like SanDisk or Samsung to use in your device. Some Android devices will have a microSD card slot, which is handy for storing game files.

6/18/2023 0 Comments 2017 chevrolet trax lt awdThe hot-selling Jeep Renegade is less frugal, but its 2.4-liter engine has way more power and torque. Honda’s HR-V does better (28/35 for the front-driver), and so does the always-all-wheel Subaru Crosstrek (26/34 city/highway). Estimates of 25 miles per gallon in city driving and 33 on the highway (or 24/30 for the AWD car I drove) are not super competitive.But on a few rare stretches of open road, over 40 miles per hour, you can feel the 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque struggle not to feel slow. Chevy probably had us stick to city driving because that’s where the mild torque-pop from this little engine feels most effective. The only powertrain offered is the 1.4-liter turbo four and a six-speed automatic transmission.Light and quick, the steering shouldn’t be an issue while dicing with Sprinters and hipster bikes to get into the turn lane, or to grab the good spot in the Jewel-Osco parking lot. On that same tip, the steering calibration seems just right for city driving. My day in Chicago was spent traversing the city, and the Trax offered both great visibility and easy parking/maneuvering ability on the route. And the small-but-tall body shape (admittedly one shared with lots of stuff in this class) is great for city driving. Especially with the rear seats folded, there’s a massive amount of space for hauling stuff around. I believe most folks will find this to be a cheerful and functional small car.By and large I think the change in appearance, inside and out, represents an improvement. This wouldn’t be a facelift without a new front and rear fascia and an updated interior, too.Keyless-open doors and a push-button start fit the theme of easy-operation. The new instrument cluster is cleaner and easier to read, and now-available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto do the same for the touchscreen-based infotainment system. Stuff that’s new for 2017 is mostly stuff I’d want, if I wanted a Trax. 6/18/2023 0 Comments Thunderbird for mac os x 10.6.8Go to the web server settings and find the entry php5_module. Open the application Server Admin to switch to the new library. Now the Apache web server must get knowledge that you want to use the new PHP library instead of the old. Moodle 1.8.x does not run with PHP 5.3.0. Note: If you want to install Moodle 1.8.x on the server you need to get the Entropy PHP-5.2.9-7.pkg instead. Open the file /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini and edit some settings for Moodle. You will find the file php.ini inside the new package folder. it copies PHP into the correct folder /usr/local/php5 and changes its owner to root automatically. Please get the package and install it by following the instructions on the download page. Marc Liyanage precompiled this package to use it on Mac clients and Mac servers. The easiest way to get the GD library support and to get a better PHP version would be the installation of the complete PHP 5.3.0 package from. you will not find any GD library support. After saving the file you can get all PHP informations in your browser. You must activate the function call phpinfo() by deleting the both slashes // at the start of the function line. To see which PHP version and extensions are installed on your server you should edit the file /Library/WebServer/Documents/info.php. These instructions are helpful in both cases. in this case you need to get the better PHP version. For Moodle 2.0 the server must have PHP 5.2.8 (or better) and some more PHP extensions. But you have to add the missing GD Library support to get Moodle running on your server. The Mac OS X 10.5.8 Server (Leopard) comes with PHP 5.2.6. Mac OS X 10.5 Server - Install PHP 5.3.0 and the GD Library You only have to switch on the PHP module and to control if the file /etc/php.ini sets the right values for Moodle. Please forget everything you read about the missing GD Library! The PHP installation is totally complete for Moodle. This would be the best choice for Moodle 1.9.x and for Moodle 2.0 on a Mac OS X Server. The Mac OS X 10.6.5 Server (SnowLeopard) comes with PHP 5.3.3 and a lot of PHP extensions. + System Software: Mac OS X Server 10.5 or 10.6Ĭonfigure PHP for your Moodle installation Mac OS X 10.6 Server - No PHP installation needed + Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 I am most interested to make the things better. You may also write a complete chapter if you tried the facts yourself on your own Mac Server. Please feel free to add your ideas and wishes to the discussion page for this article. but if you are planning to set up a Moodle internet server on a Mac then you should think about some more security as the ever local package could give.
