![]() But the bottom line is that there’s a lot more malware aimed at Macs than there used to be, and it’s growing more sophisticated. The macOS 11.4 update released Monday fixes the issue, and if you're a Mac user who has not updated yet, you should do so right away.Īpple and its fans will say that the macOS’ architecture makes it more difficult for malware to take hold on a Mac. There are indications the bug is being exploited now. On Monday, Forbes cybersecurity writer Thomas Brewster reported on a flaw in macOS Big Sur that could allow hackers to bypass Apple's own antimalware features. ![]() Wardle said that some of that has to do with the historically smaller installed base of Mac systems Windows is a bigger and thus a more lucrative target. What is more correct to say is that there is a lot more malware in the world targeting Windows PCs than Macs. Technically proficient users of Apple’s computers have known this for a long time. That Macs are not immune to malware is not really news. He described Apple’s past marketing messages that “Macs don’t get malware” as being “very dishonest.” “The problem is worse than the majority of people realize,” Wardle said. Pretty bad, according to Patrick Wardle, an independent security researcher who specializes in macOS and is the author of a book called “ The Art of Mac Malware.” He also develops a line of free, open-source security tools called Objective-See.

The new FullContact app, however, lets you connect with Google, iCloud, Twitter, LinkedIn, Microsoft Exchange / Office 365, Foursquare, and Xing. In addition, users have spammed it with negative reviews on the Mac App Store as it had to remove popular features like its Facebook and LinkedIn integration, due to API shutdowns from both those companies. The original Cobook Mac app, which lived in the menu bar, was well-loved prior to this acquisition, but it hadn’t been updated since last May. The app was developed in part by the team from Cobook, a scrappy contacts app startup originally out of Latvia which grew to a million-plus users before being acquired by FullContact in 2014. ![]() Today, there are a number of solutions for managing address books on Mac, but many of those you’ll find in Mac App Store are focused on utilitarian functions – like de-duplicating your contacts database, exporting contacts, syncing contacts with other services, and so on.įullContact for Mac, meanwhile, is focused on being a more functional alternative to the default Contacts app, which includes all those above features and more. However, its own suite of apps is now used by around 1 million users, a small percentage of whom have converted to paying customers. Today, it’s launching a fully native application for the Mac desktop, as well.įullContact currently offers a good handful of address book applications, including those aimed at professional users – like its app for teams – along with developer tools for integrating contact management features into third-party apps. One company that has carved out a solid niche in contact management is FullContact, which already offers a number of apps across the web and mobile devices. Managing a large database of contacts can get messy, which is why a number of startups over the years have attempted to tackle this space with a wide variety of apps that attempt to streamline the process of keeping contact information up-to-date, while also offering other tools to clean up your contacts, organize them, and more. ![]() Andreotti was responsible for creating, managing and leading the industry’s premier global accounts sales and service organization worldwide consisting of 286 named Fortune 500 Multinational Corporations.

Adult collectors have established a network of clubs, sales events, swaps, and other gatherings throughout the country (and around the world). The first generation of kids to have purchased Hot Wheels in the late 1960s are now old enough to appreciate the toys as collectibles. More than 10,000 models of Hot Wheels have been manufactured, and these days, two cars are sold every second. Mattel has produced more than two billion cars, more than the USA's Big Three automakers combined. Sales in the years since have hardly slowed. The company sold more than 16 million cars in the brand's first year. Corporate legends describe how the toy was named: Handler, upon watching a prototype of the die-cast toy in action exclaimed: "Wow, those are hot wheels!" Mattel's combining the miniature car of obvious popularity with speed proved more appealing than even Handler could have imagined. Mattel designed its cars with low-friction axles and soft wheels that enabled the toys to reach phenomenal speeds on specially made race tracks. Kids coveted the die-cast Barracudas, Corvettes, Cougars, and Firebirds in the psychedelic colors Mattel offered just as their older brothers and fathers longed for the real thing. The early vehicles replicated the popular "muscle cars" of the late 1960s. Handler's first offerings in 1968 did the trick. worked to improve the die cast auto made popular by the Lesney company's Matchbox cars. ![]() Elliot Handler, one of the original founders of Mattel, Inc. ![]() “But I’ll do everything I can to make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else. Rick Kubes said he would keep working to make the intersection safer. ![]() In the back office was a piece of paper on which Rick Kubes had jotted notes about the intersection before his son’s accident.

Rick Kubes delivered his son’s eulogy Thursday at Holy Family Catholic Church in Fort Worth. “By the time you are halfway out, if another car comes quickly around the corner, it can catch up to you pretty fast.” ![]() “You’re pulling onto a blind curve,” Morrow said. Residents have asked the city for help making safety improvements but were told not much could be done, he said. River Park is four lanes across and has a speed limit of 35 mph. Jeff Morrow, president of the homeowners association, said that he has narrowly avoided being broadsided at the intersection. However, he was arrested at the scene for an out-of-town warrant. The driver of the Mitsubishi was unhurt and won’t face charges connected to the crash, police said. The police report said Jeffrey Kubes’ car was hit by a Mitsubishi Eclipse going east on River Park. Rick ran to the gate and found his son’s battered car pushed up against the wall. A relative called and told Rick and his wife, Mary, that “Jeff has been in a serious accident at the gate.” Jeffrey Kubes had left a family gathering about 10:30 p.m. “We’re getting the results of the police report and will put any indications about the cause into our evaluation process.” “They are right about the wall it is an obstacle,” said Greg Simmons, acting director of the city Transportation Department. The wall was built as part of the development more than two years ago. “I am comforted by the fact that at least I was trying to do something about it.”Ī city transportation official said Tuesday that the intersection meets city sight requirements but, since the fatal wreck, the city is evaluating the roads for possible safety improvements. “When I said that, of course, I had no idea that it would be my son,” said Rick Kubes, owner of Kubes Jewelry in Fort Worth. Jeffrey Kubes, an attorney, died a few hours later at a hospital. Police said Jeffrey Kubes pulled out in front of the other driver. Less than three weeks later, Kubes’ 31-year-old son, Jeffrey, was injured when his car was struck by another car on River Park. Shannon Lowery in Fort Worth, Texas received a PPP loan of 9523 in April, 2021. “I don’t want to wait for someone to get seriously injured,” Kubes said. Residents believed that a wall obstructs the view of drivers pulling out of the gated development onto River Park Drive, which curves sharply as it passes the neighborhood. 26 homeowners association meeting, Rick Kubes volunteered to head a committee pushing for safety improvements to the Retreat at River Park Place entryway.

If you are targeting the legacy runtime, Visual Studio Tools for Unity will use information from the DLL and PDB to create a DLL.MDB file, which is the debug symbol format used by the legacy Unity scripting engine. The PDB files are needed for debugging because they contain the DLL's debugging symbols, and map the DLL code to its source code form. Both DLL and PDB files will be placed in the Assets folder. Modify the build settings of your DLL project to set its output folder to be the Assets folder of your Unity project. Modify the build settings of your DLL project to include a post-built task that copies the output DLL and PDB files from its output folder to the Assets folder of your Unity project. To be deployed as an asset, the Unity Editor requires the DLLs to be put inside the Assets folder in your Unity project. Since DLLs are linked at run time, DLLs must be deployed as assets. In Unity, assets are files that are packaged and deployed together with your Unity app so that they can be loaded at run-time. NET 4.x profile compatible with your Unity version.Ĭopy the DLL to your Unity project's Asset folder. If you are using the new Unity runtime, you don't need to use those dedicated 3.5 profiles anymore. The following is only required if you are using Unity's legacy runtime. This prevents your DLL from calling framework methods that exist in other frameworks or compatibility levels, but which might not exist in the Unity framework version you're using. This is the Unity Base Class Library that matches the API compatibility that your project targets, such as the Unity full, micro, or web base class libraries. In Visual Studio, in the DLL project's properties, set the Target framework property to the Unity framework version you're using. ![]() Reference the correct Unity framework profile in the DLL project. In either case, Visual Studio Tools for Unity maintains the project reference, even if it has to regenerate the project and solution files again, so you only need to perform these steps once. Less commonly, you might be starting a new managed DLL project to contain code components in your Unity project if that's the case, you can add a new managed DLL project to the Visual Studio solution instead. To debug a managed DLL project used in your Unity projectĪdd your existing DLL project to the Visual Studio solution generated by Visual Studio Tools for Unity. This scenario does not describe debugging a DLL for which you do not have the source code. Note that the scenario described here assumes that you have the source code-that is, you are developing or re-using your own first-party code, or you have the source code to a third-party library, and plan to deploy it in your Unity project as a DLL. It does not support debugging of native code DLLs, such as those written in C++. These comments are meant to help you understand when the method is called and what its general responsibilities are.Ĭhoose the OK button to exit the wizard and insert the methods into your code.Īt this time, Visual Studio Tools for Unity only supports managed DLLs. If you want the wizard to generate comments for the methods you selected, mark the Generate method comments checkbox. Alternatively, you can choose to insert them after any method that's already implemented in your class by changing the value of the Insertion point dropdown to the location you want. Use the Framework version dropdown to select your desired version.īy default, the methods are inserted at the position of the cursor. In the Create script methods window, mark the checkbox next to the name of each method you want to add. In Visual Studio for Mac, press Cmd+ Shift+ M. In Visual Studio, position the cursor where you want the methods to be inserted, then press Ctrl+ Shift+ M to launch the MonoBehavior wizard. To create empty MonoBehavior method definitions with the MonoBehavior wizard: This feature, particularly with the Generate method comments option enabled, is helpful if you are still learning what's available in the Unity API. You can use the MonoBehavior wizard to view a list of all the Unity API methods and quickly implement an empty definition. Dump back vegetables and meat in skillet and mix and cook for a min or two.
The ideal size for a betta fish bowl between 3 and 5 gallons. Positioning Your Driftwood and Seiryu Stonesįor those who enjoy watching a tutorial, I’ve created a video on how to setup a betta bowl aquascape.Īnd, for those who enjoy a detailed written explanation of a betta bowl setup, including which plants are best for a betta bowl, keep reading, the steps and equipment I use are outlined below. The solution is to find a bowl that holds the minimum volume of water needed to provide a betta fish with a safe and healthy environment. Is there some way a betta fish can live in a bowl and thrive? So, in general, keeping betta fish in bowls has become antiquated and a sign of an uneducated fish keeper.īut, does that mean you should never keep a betta fish in a bowl? The reason is water quality in small containers and tanks quickly becomes toxic without frequent water changes.Īnd most people don’t plan on changing the water in their betta’s 1 gallon bowl every 3 days. The problem is that small containers usually doom a betta fish to a short life. The thinking seems to go like this: because betta fish are sold in small cups, it must be ok to keep a betta in something like a vase or that 1 gallon fishbowl that used to house the goldfish before he/she croaked. The contention centers around how betta fish are typically sold: in small cups or jars. Keeping a betta fish in a bowl is a controversial subject. Can Betta Fish Live in a Bowl Without a Filter?.Step 4: Position Your Driftwood and Seiryu Stones.Step 3: Add Plant Substrate to the Bowl. ![]() Step 2: Fill a Mesh Filter Bag with Substrate. ![]() Also note that the watermark from the demo version makes it difficult to compare around the bird's head. I probably could have setup a pre-set to make this adjustment automatically, but didn't. I found that using DeNoise AI, I continually needed to make these adjustments to approximate the original colors. I probably also needed to increase saturation as well but didn't. In order to approximate the other two photos, I needed to increase exposure and contrast in CR. ![]() The image on the right has been processed through DeNoise AI. The feather detail has been retained along with substantial noise reduction. You can see that the background has been smoothed out. The middle photo has been run through DxO and then brought into PhotoShop, again with out any CR changes. As you can see, it is pretty noisy, both in the background and in the feather detail. It was taken with a Z6 200-500 mm lens at f/5.6, 1/1600 sec, ISO 8000 which produced the photo on the left, unprocessed without any CR (camera raw) adjustments. Here is a summary of what I've found evaluating the two products. I'll continue to evaluate the two packages, but just wondering if anyone else if seeing what I see as the differences between the two products? Photo in, photo out with out much effort on the part of the photographer. It seems to be a fully automated product. But then the DXO product doesn't seem to allow any changes in strength of the effects it creates. The sharpening seemed to be a little less harsh as well. The DXO product lacked any artifacts that were visible at 500%. ![]() When I pixel peeped at 500% the detail that I was seeing at 100% seemed to be made up from created artifacts in the files. Now when I came to compare these two packages side by side, I noticed that Topaz seemed to keep just a tad more detail in the images. These two packages both did better than anything I was able to do on my own. Well, having taken three photos that I did a lot of work on and running them through the default settings of the above two software packages (demo versions), I'm now convinced that I can't. I've always considered that I could get the noise out of my photos and sharpen them better than any automated software. I've been evaluating Topaz DeNoise AI and Topaz Sharpen vs the new release of DXO Pure Raw vs my photos. |
