One of the upgrades will even cause a Masqueraded NPC to tag Colt for you if they spot him or die. Like Colt’s other powers, you can also upgrade Fugue with four different improvements - including one that turns your enemies against their own allies.įugue is the only new ability included in the Goldenloop update, but Julianna’s Masquerade ability - which lets her trade appearances with an NPC - is finally getting some upgrades. Essentially, it makes them behave as if they were drunk, and removes any threat they might normally pose. Activating Fugue launches a projectile that slows targets and “confuses” them. New ability and upgradesįugue is a new ability that you can use while playing as Colt. And, of course, you can reflect it off of turrets and security cameras to hit your enemies from bizarre angles. It shoots a continuous beam, which can burn through enemies. To fit with Deathloop’s Bond-like theme, you can get a new laser weapon called Halps Prototype. New weapon Image: Arkane Studios/Bethesda You’ll also only need to purchase the game on one Xbox platform to gain access to both console and PC. So you can play on your PC when you want to snipe as Julianna, and then jump back on your Xbox for a more relaxing adventure on your couch. If you’d rather only play with people on your platform - probably most helpful for console users who don’t want to play against someone using a mouse and keyboard - you can turn off crossplay in the menu.įor those that have play games across multiple platforms, Deathloop will also feature cross-save on Xbox ecosystems. Players will now be able to match with those on other console families, opening up the lines between PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store. Well, with the Goldenloop update, you’ll have even more Juliannas breathing down your neck. Players are able to invade your game during certain points as the sniper Julianna and attempt to kill you (and you can, of course, do the same to them). ![]() Crossplay and cross-saveĭeathloop is mostly a single-player game, but it does support a PvP feature as well. Here, according to an update on Bethesda’s blog, is (almost) everything you can expect in this new update for one of 2021’s best games. There’s plenty of new content to explore as well. But the Goldenloop update is about more than just Deathloop’s launch on Xbox platforms, Game Pass, and the PlayStation Plus library. Deathloop’s new Goldenloop update is out now, built to celebrate the ending of the game’s PlayStation console exclusivity.

4/27/2023 0 Comments Clamxav review for macI followed the link in that email to install the product, then followed another link to activate the license key. Once you place your order with ClamXAV’s finance partner, you get an email with installation details. Snow Leopard users can actually use ClamXAV as well, also by installing an old version. If that’s not enough, ProtectWorks AntiVirus for Mac, goes all the way back to Mountain Lion (10.8) and maintains an older version that even supports Snow Leopard (10.6). ![]() ![]() Avira Free Antivirus for Mac, McAfee, and Norton only work with Catalina (10.15) or later, for example.ĬlamXAV’s direct support goes farther back, all the way to 2014’s Yosemite (10.10). However, if for some reason you must run an older version, your pool of choices shrinks. If you're fortunate enough to have a modern Macintosh, running the very latest macOS version, you can choose from any of the available antivirus tools. McAfee is unusual in that a $59.99 per year subscription lets you install antivirus on every device in your household. For example, a three-license Webroot subscription goes for $49.99 per year, while Bitdefender and Kaspersky run $59.99. Most have a volume discount price for three licenses, or some other multiple. How Much Does ClamXAV Cost?īitdefender Antivirus for Mac, Kaspersky, and Webroot are among the Mac antivirus products that cost $39.99 per year for a single license it's a common price point. It costs quite a bit less than most competitors, but it lacks the expected web-level protection against malicious and fraudulent pages. ClamXAV for Mac solves the usability problem by wrapping the same technology in a friendly, easy-to-use Mac antivirus app. However, it remains just a set of tools, without the graphical user interface that consumers expect, so it winds up getting used mostly by security professionals. The venerable Clam AntiVirus originated years ago as an open-source security toolkit, and it remains free. Sometimes a product that seems to be free ends up costing you time and effort rather than cash. ![]() Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software. 4/27/2023 0 Comments Least privilege principleIf the administrator is logged on using a normal user account, the virus will have access only to the administrator's data and will not be able to install malicious software. If the administrator is logged on using a local Administrator account, the virus will have Administrator privileges on the local computer and thus would be able to access any data on the computer and install malicious software such as key-stroke logging software on the computer. If the administrator is logged on using the domain Administrator account, the virus will have Administrator privileges on all computers in the domain and thus unrestricted access to nearly all data on the network. For example, examine the consequences of a network administrator unwittingly opening an email attachment that launches a virus. If an application that has too many privileges should be compromised, the attacker might be able to expand the attack beyond what it would if the application had been under the least amount of privileges possible. "Always think of security in terms of granting the least amount of privileges required to carry out the task. The following excerpt is from the Microsoft Windows Security Resource Kit, first published in 2005: Organizations should regularly audit their network to protect against unauthorized escalation of privilege." This tactic helps prevent widespread damage if an attacker manages to compromise one managed forest. "In another example, accounts to which you grant domain-level administrator rights must not have elevated rights in another forest, even if there is a trust relationship between the forests. If the administrator had instead logged on with a nonprivileged (nonadministrative) account, the virus's scope of damage would only be the local computer because it runs as a local computer user. For example, if an administrator logs on with a privileged account and inadvertently runs a virus program, the virus has administrative access to the local computer and to the entire domain. ![]() "You should grant all domain administrator users their domain privileges under the concept of least privilege. For many organizations, this task might initially seem like a great deal of work however, it is an essential step to successfully secure your network environment. For example, you must determine the access privileges that a computer or user really needs, and then implement them. "One reason this principle works so well is that it forces you to do some internal research. This principle applies to computers and the users of those computers. Doing so provides protection against malicious code, among other attacks. The principle states that all users should log on with a user account that has the absolute minimum permissions necessary to complete the current task and nothing more. The principle is simple, and the impact of applying it correctly greatly increases your security and reduces your risk. "Most security-related training courses and documentation discuss the implementation of a principle of least privilege, yet organizations rarely follow it.

4/27/2023 0 Comments Karabiner elements tutorial![]() Keyboard Maestro can differentiate between a number key along the top row and a number key on the numpad, so it works out great for one-key macros. The kicker, though, is using my keyboard's numpad as sort of a built-in macropad, a part of the keyboard that I wouldn't use otherwise. Most of my shortcuts and macros accomplish more basic tasks, but they're still really handy. That's one of the very few intensive macros I have in Keyboard Maestro. From there, I can paste the address wherever.Īll of that happens with a simple keyboard shortcut. After typing that in and hitting Enter, Keyboard Maestro opens up a new Chrome tab, performs a store number search on DuckDuckGo, clicks the first result (because it's always the first result), finds the store's address on the page, copies it to my clipboard, and then closes the Chrome tab. The shortcut brings up a window where it asks for the store number. It's for when a client emails me store numbers and I need to ship items to those stores. To give you an idea of the possibilities, let me describe one keyboard shortcut I have set up. But it should give you a better idea of how Keyboard Maestro works so that you can go out there and create your own shortcuts and macros. This might not be the most useful example, and it's just the very tip of the Keyboard Maestro iceberg. Hitting Command+Option+Z will open a new tab in your default web browser and take you immediately to the Zapier home page. To start, click the small plus button at the bottom of the second column in the Keyboard Maestro window. We're going to create a shortcut that will launch the Zapier home page by pressing Command+Option+Z. But you probably want to make your very own custom shortcuts, so here's how to get started creating a very basic one. Once you've downloaded and installed Keyboard Maestro, open it up, and you'll be greeted with some pre-installed shortcuts and macros that you can try out. There's also FastKeys, but it's not quite as expansive as Keyboard Maestro. If you're looking for something on Windows, AutoIt and AutoHotkey are probably the closest alternatives, but they're kind of script-y and aren't as intuitive as setting up triggers and actions. None of these truly compare to Keyboard Maestro, in my opinion, so if you can shell out $36 for it, it's well worth it. And there's Apple's built-in Automator feature that will soon be discontinued in favor of Shortcuts. If you're looking for free options, Karabiner-Elements and Hammerspoon are decent open source alternatives. (It's already replaced TextExpander and Magnet for me.) Plus, it already does what a lot of other apps can do. It's not free, but at $36, it's frankly a steal for the capabilities it gives you. And that's really just scratching the surface. You can have stuff automatically happen when you quit a certain application, when a file is moved into a particular folder, or even when you draw a certain gesture with your mouse or trackpad. Open a website, copy files into a specific folder, or launch an application, all with keyboard shortcuts or other triggers. ![]() What is Keyboard Maestro?Īt its most basic, Keyboard Maestro is a tool for creating all sorts of shortcuts and macros for automating stuff on your Mac. But even then, why hit two keys when I could just hit one? And what other possibilities are there for one-key macros? This is where Keyboard Maestro and my keyboard's numpad make an epic duo. Granted, there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts that are dead easy- Command+C and Command+V are about as simple as it gets. But trying to hit that key combo with one hand-at least with my small hands-is like playing a game of Finger Twister. In Slack, Command+G brings up the search bar to find a past message, which I do often. Granted, you may not use these shortcuts very often, but four keys for a keyboard shortcut? Pfft.Įven some of the more practical keyboard shortcuts still require some dexterity. Or Option+Shift+Command+V to paste and match style in Safari. Take Option+Shift+Command+I, for example, which brings up a window for reporting a Google Chrome issue. Keyboard shortcuts should be easy to pull off and easy to remember, but that's not always the case. Which is why I heavily rely on an app called Keyboard Maestro. But there's one problem: just because they're shortcuts, doesn't necessarily make them better. And if you use them often, that's a lot of seconds saved. ![]() Keyboard shortcuts are great-they save you a few seconds each and every time you use them.
4/26/2023 0 Comments Listening to music meme gifSocial media means it is so easy to share GIFs and videos with people. If some, years ago, felt Bush an acquired taste or two weird or experimental, the appetite people have for her music and words now shows that she was ahead of her time.Īs we head into 2022, there might the flicker of new music or activity from Kate Bush. Such an innovative and striking artist, one cannot take their eyes off of her! Her hugely original music and loveable personality combines and wins the heart and inspires the mind. Why did Rolling Stone write an article about Kate Bush memes? Why is she more popular now than ever? I think the two can be answered by the fact Bush is so magnetic and eye-catching. Whilst writing this, I have seen GIFs and memes that have quoted deeper cuts from albums such as The Dreaming (1982), The Red Shoes (1993) and The Sensual World (1989). It is a shame that radio stations continue to be predictable when it comes to which Bush songs they spin. That starts conversations and can lead to discovery of minor Kate Bush songs or interviews that few have seen or heard. People share photos, GIFs, memes, music videos and song links. I look through Twitter each day and see all the posts about Kate Bush. was the most important and go-to source for artists to get their music heard by the masses, social media has taken over a lot. GIFs are great, as you can animate a clip of a music video or an interview with some words. The fact they are visually appealing and easy to read means that the impact is instant and huge.Įven if a meme is quite jokey, that can lead to people either discovering Kate Bush for the first time, or they might be compelled to spend a few hours with her music. There are so many out there but, rather than write articles or generic tweets, people can share memes and start conversations about her work. Some Kate Bush memes are humorous or are slightly piss-taking, though many use her lyrics, photos and idiosyncrasies in an inventive way. In turn, that takes people to a song they may not have heard or an interview that opens their eyes to a new part of Kate Bush’s work. I have seen so many memes that quote interviews or song lyrics. ![]() Streaming sites are great regarding offering Bush’s music to all, though it is not advertised a lot and, once more, perhaps the bigger numbers are played a lot more than hidden gems that deserve more love. In fact, I feel that there is something more varied and interesting about GIFs, memes etc. One might assume that the rise of memes, GIFs and short-form videos would devalue her work or mean people are only listening to the bigger hits – and maybe are not listening too long or are less liable to deep-dive. Unless you have an album and are willing to investigate it all, so many tracks will pass you by. I personally feel Bush’s music needs to be listened in full. Whether soundtracking a video or used in a GIF, these short and punchy visuals and audio snippets are hugely effective. I know that radio stations are important, though the power of sites like TikTok means that her music can be heard by millions. ![]() ![]() It seems strange that other platforms other than radio are more influential regarding ensuring Kate Bush’s music is being discovered around the world. Even though a lot of her songs used on TikTok are the well-known ones, there are some deeper cuts that means her catalogue is being explored more thoroughly. By users scoring short videos with clips of her songs, it means that her brilliance and relevance continues strong. A while back, when talking about TikTok, I wrote how this platform is seeing Bush’s music spread far and wide. Through discovering these, they are watching interviews and discovering songs. I know that memes are bringing Bush’s music to new people. It seems strange, as I keep saying, how radio stations are reductive when it comes to her. The logic behind this is that the less-known songs might cause people to turn over or not be popular. The vast majority of the time, when her songs are played, you tend to get the hits the most people have heard. More accurately, it is played a lot, though the range of songs is quite narrow! I do wonder how many younger listeners are discovering Bush’s music through this medium. ![]() I have said often enough how Kate Bush’s music is not often played on the radio. Published online by Rolling Stone last week, I wanted to follow up on my fairly recent article about Kate Bush’s music on TikTok.
