![]() ![]() ![]() While Windows remains the dominant operating system in the world, many communities have shifted over to macOS in the interest of security and stability. Since the start of the Iran Threats posts, we have documented an ever-changing array of malware agents targeting Windows and Android devices in order to exfiltrate files and record keystrokes from victims. While this agent is neither sophisticated nor full-featured, its sudden appearance is concerning given the popularity of Apple computers with certain community, and inaccurate perceptions about the security of those devices. Since the Technical Preview of our forthcoming Carnegie Endowment publication about state-sponsored espionage campaigns was released at Black Hat USA, we have continued to disclose information about current Iranian activities in order to promote public education and to provide indicators of compromise. Lastly, the exposure of test victim data and code references provide a unique insight into the development of the malware, with potential connections to agents developed by long dormant threat groups. The macOS malware also mirrors the approach of the ExtremeDownloader dropper previously documented in our research, and samples of the latter identified during this time used the same infrastructure. Instead, MacDownloader is a simple exfiltration agent, with broader ambitions. Based on observations on infrastructure, and the state of the code, we believe these incidents represent the first attempts to deploy the agent, and features such as persistence do not appear to work. ![]() MacDownloader strangely attempts to pose as both an installer for Adobe Flash, as well as the Bitdefender Adware Removal Tool, in order to extract system information and copies of OS X keychain databases.

CLEAN stands for Community-Labor-Environmental Action Network. “The victory for the Pirian car wash workers is a victory for all car wash workers it could not send a clearer message to car wash owners that the days of exploiting workers with impunity are gone,” said Henry Huerta, director of the CLEAN Carwash Campaign. Labor activists plan to hold a rally today to hold up the Pirian brothers as an example to other car wash owners who may be abusing their workers. She added that abuse at car wash businesses is “not unusual, which is a sad statement on the industry.” “It is a priority for the City Attorney’s Office to focus on wage theft and the underground economy, and making sure people are paid for their work and … that lawfully operating businesses are not put at a disadvantage by employers who cheat their workers,” McDonough said. ![]() The Pirian brothers are also facing a class-action lawsuit in civil court, which McDonough said could potentially allow all of their workers – not just the 54 who filed the criminal complaint – to also receive compensation.Īs part of the plea deal, the car wash businesses’ payroll and health and safety reports must be kept open for inspection at any time, according to the City Attorney’s Office. “This is, by far, the biggest criminal case of its kind that we’re aware of having been brought in this country,” McDonough said, noting that previous prosecutions of wage theft usually result in only a few months of jail time and much smaller monetary awards to the victims. The amount that each will receive will be based on how long they worked for the brothers and how much they were underpaid, the prosecutor said. She said the 54 workers named in the criminal complaint will split the $1.25 million settlement. A few workers were paid only with tips, according to city prosecutors. The brothers own Celebrity Car Wash and Hollywood Car Wash – both in Hollywood – as well as Five Star Car Wash in Northridge and Vermont Hand Wash in Los Feliz.Īccording to the criminal complaint, their workers received a flat rate of $35 to $40 a day – far below the federal and state minimum wages – and no overtime. They were each sentenced to 365 days in jail and four years of probation, and ordered to pay restitution. … It was really a sweatshop,” said Deputy City Attorney Julia Figueira-McDonough, who helped prosecute the case.īenny and Nissan Pirian each pleaded no contest Friday to a half-dozen criminal counts, including conspiracy and grand theft, and several Labor Code violations, she said. “What occurred at the car washes doesn’t fit the technical definition of `indentured servitude,’ but people worked for years without receiving minimum wage or overtime they worked in hazardous conditions where they were regularly exposed to chemicals and not provided with safety equipment to prevent injury they weren’t provided with drinking water. ![]() Two brothers who own four Los Angeles car washes were each sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to pay $1.25 million in unpaid wages to 54 workers, in what the City Attorney’s Office on Monday called a “landmark” plea deal. ![]() ![]() It’s often possible to disable that global gesture in desktop environments, and would be the easiest way to solve Give up alt-drag for all platforms because one window manager in one distribution used it by default. ![]() Those shortcuts and gestures may cause conflicts between Surge and the desktop environment.

![]() I see it as being comparable to the tendency many of us have to use this technology to try and create everything on our own without interaction with anyone else. I’ve said before that if devs were to combine forces to come up with the very best designs in each part of the app, rather than each of them trying to come up with all the ideas by themselves, the outcome might be a lot better and rather different than most of the apps we have seen up till now. Perhaps there will never be such an app, or perhaps my expectations are just too high. There is not one app of this type which actually really inspires me to use it. It’s all a question of their vision for the app and how they went about implementing it, as to whether or not such new ideas could be implemented without having to go back to the drawing board.īut I think it’s fair to say that none of them have really got it right so far. After all, there are many more than those which have been mentioned here, and I have engaged in similar dialogue with the devs of those apps, but they are not going to listen to one punter, however good their ideas may be. Perhaps some of you have personal contact with some of these devs? But it won’t happen by itself, and the devs won’t even be aware of these issues unless someone brings them to their attention.īut despite the sound quality of the samples used within SessionBand, I really wonder if their’s is the best approach to form a basis for this type of software. Stranger things have been known to happen, and it would be a win win situation for both sides. There must be a workable alternative, and perhaps all it would take would be a group of dedicated users like those on this forum and a dev willing to listen and try out the ideas which came out of such a think tank. ![]() I think that is probably at the root of certain UI decisions that both TH-U and the SessionBand apps reflect. I think that it is the iOS/iPadOS platform itself which creates limitations in these apps due to the limited screen size. I agree however that it might be a very good idea to use a totally separate app to input the actual song data, then save it in the required format. ![]() How are you going to do that in the present version of the SessionBand UI? For example it’s often necessary to have a chord appear slightly anticipated or late on the last beat of the bar. This is what is incredibly difficult, fiddly and time consuming using SessionBand. Although the HTML formatting may be simple, from my experience with iReal Pro albeit not on iOS it was one of being limited in terms of writing in timing syncopation, particularly across the bar. Respectfully, I don’t think that is such a good idea as it may seem. There are obviously some differences in the way ireal pro and SessionBand work, but it would not be a hard task for a programmer to code a feature that imports ireal pro format html songs into SessionBand, just ignoring parts that are for ireal pro specific features only. That is, you don't need ireal pro to write these ireal pro songs, you just write in html in any text editor and import to ireal pro. ![]() It's a simple format, written in html code, allowing users to quickly create and/or edit songs in any text editor, no need for any proprietary app. This is the format ireal pro uses to allow users to import entire libraries from user forums. ![]() There are hundreds, probably thousands, freely available. Much better, imo, would be for them to just add a feature to import songs that are written in ireal pro html format. But that won’t happen unless the devs start to really listen to feedback from their users and watch threads like this one.Įven if it had better editing facilities, it's ridiculous to require all song creation and editing to be done within the SessionBand app itself. These releases would be so good if only they were to revamp the UI and make the process of inputting chord changes and the drum patterns less tedious. ![]() ![]() Grades 3-5 do not have any calculator sections or units in the mathematics assessment.

As you can tell, I'm basically in love with instagram stories! This is amazing for engagement and again, a great way to build a relationship with your audience. If you have over 10k followers on instagram, you also have the ability to link out of instagram on your story (amazing!) so this trumps the whole 'link in bio' situation we have on the grid and feeds.īecause interaction with your story is 100% private between you and the follower, people are also more likely to send a message or respond to a question via stories than the grid posts. There's a definite movement towards authentic businesses created by real people and as small businesses, this is a key way to interact with your followers. Why? With the introduction of insta stories - it has given businesses the opportunity to show the casual, 'real' side of their businesses. So, if you can aim to get 3 - 4 posts out a week, that's awesome! INSTAGRAM STORIES: I used to recommend people post on the daily, but times have changed in terms of the algorithm and what people are seeing. ![]() How often to post? Because we are seeing good quality posts on the instagram feed appear for 2 -3 days, the strategy I currently recommend is a good quality post (put some effort into it!) every 3 days. ![]() Keep the photography high quality and plan out your grid so it all looks fab and cohesive. Make sure it's on-brand (no random Pinterest quote graphics please!) in your colours and fonts. Here are a few examples:Ģ) Education for your clients and customers What to post? I always talk to my clients about coming up with 4 - 7 'content pillars' - the key content focuses for your business. For this reason, I recommend you put more effort and strategy into the content you post on your grid. It has a longer shelf-life than instagram stories do and will stay on your grid (or profile) indefinitely. Why?

You get much better tool life by slightly lower percentage of thread. That means you’re way less likely to break the tap and you’re sacrificing very little holding strength. Premium tap makers like Guhring actually recommend 60% to 70% percentage of thread for most applications because it significantly lowers the torque force required to tap without giving up much thread strength. That’s conservative from a strength standpoint, but aggressive from the standpoint of over-stressing your tap. The deal with thread percentage is the recommended tap drill sizes you find in most online charts and on the tap packaging are for 75% threads. There is no one perfect size, but you can often do a lot better by considering the thread percentage. The recommended hole size for tapping is usually not the best.
