An easy way to obtain libgdiplus is by using the Homebrew ('brew') package manager for macOS. New iPad Pro models with the M2 chip could be announced “in a matter of days,” while iPadOS 16 could launch alongside macOS Ventura in late October, Gurman claims. According to the report, Apple also has a new Apple TV in the works with an A14 Bionic chip and 4GB of memory. The Weather and Clock apps come to Mac with all of the features users. macOS Ventura brings new accessibility tools like Live Captions for all audio content, 6 Type to Speak on calls, Text Checker to support proofreading for VoiceOver users, and more. Gurman’s Power On newsletter also alluded to the Mac Mini, which Gurman says is due for an M2 upgrade. Visual Look Up can now recognize animals, birds, insects, statues, and even more landmarks. CrossOver is a popular compatibility layer for running Windows software on Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks, based on the open-source Wine project. Expected specs for the M2 Pro are unknown at this time, but there’s a chance both the Pro and Max chips could be made with a 3-nanometer process (although a 5-nanometer process seems more likely). But can it beat the MacBook Air?Īccording to the rumor mill, the M2 Max chip could come with up to a 12-core CPU, up to a 38-core GPU, and up to 64GB of unified memory. This is one of my favorite Windows laptops. Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works This is just so cool. These are the 10 settings I always change on a new Mac ![]() This subreddit is for the discussion of using WINE to play video games.Everyone who should (and shouldn’t) buy the M3 MacBook Pro Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD.

Chandler has been in the works since 2001, but won’t be ready for mainstream use for at least another year or two. The first release of OneNote went on sale three years ago, and a significantly improved version, OneNote 2007, will be available late this year. Chandler is being designed to run on PCs, Macs, Linux machines, and about any other plausible system. OneNote runs only on PCs or tablet computers with Windows software. Chandler will be free, as will several related utilities and programming tools now being developed by Kapor’s organization. OneNote sells for about $100 on its own and is offered, like Word and Outlook, as part of the “suite” of Office products that is generally regarded as Microsoft’s cash cow. One is from the world’s biggest and most successful software company the other, from a shoestring operation funded mainly by one man-Mitchell Kapor, the founder of Lotus.

A series of tests indicates that the FC1307A is able to sustain 24 MB/s6, and although there are no real benchmarks of the JM20330 by name, there is a claim that it can hit 30 MB/s with a hard disk drive7. This still doesn’t explain the slowdown because that’s six times the transfer rate benchmarked5.Īnd individually, neither chip is slow. On the device side it supports SDHC 2.0, which allows cards to run at 25 MB/s. The FC1307A appears to support UDMA 6 on the host side, the same as the JM20330 (though the datasheet only claims ATA/ATAPI-6 compatibility). That shouldn’t be the cause of any slowdowns4. It supports ATA/ATAPI-7 and UDMA 6, giving it a 133 MB/s parallel ATA bus and a 150 MB/s serial ATA bus. SATA was only three years old, and lots of PATA drives were still floating around, so it made sense to produce a bridge that allowed the use of old drives in new systems. The JM20330 was released in 2003 if we go by the datasheet’s publication date. It’s extremely shit and outperformed by an X-25M, but it is technically a SATA SSD. The SD card is converted to PATA which is converted to SATA which does indeed create a SATA SSD. This occurs within the board, hence the large parallel bus visible between the chips. Since CompactFlash cards can run in ATA mode and are essentially tiny PATA SSDs, the two adapters can be chained. The JM20330 is a SATA to PATA bridge, and the FC1307A is a CompactFlash to SD adapter. Here is what they had to say about the performance of the two chip device:Ĭonsulting the datasheets reveal how it works but not why it’s so slow. I found it when I was looking at the SATA-SD adapters on ebay and noticed that it was a two chip implementation using chips I already have.

![]() In January, Salt Lake City-based Avalon Health Care Management agreed to a $200,000 settlement with the attorneys general of Utah and Oregon in the wake of a phishing email data breach affecting 14,500 individuals. The HIPAA enforcement actions against DNA Diagnostic Center are the latest taken by state attorneys general against a healthcare sector entity in the aftermath of a breach. "The joint investigation by Ohio and Pennsylvania found DNA Diagnostics made unfair and deceptive statements about their cybersecurity and failed to employ reasonable measures to detect and prevent a data breach, unnecessarily exposing its consumers to harm," the joint statement by the attorneys general says.ĭNA Diagnostics Center did not immediately respond to Information Security Media Group's request for comment on the settlements and whether the company was also defending itself against pending enforcement actions by any other states. Prior to the breach, DNA Diagnostics had conducted an inventory assessment and penetration test on its systems but the legacy database that stored sensitive information in plain text was not identified because the assessments only looked at active customer data, the attorneys general say. The stolen data wasn't DNA Diagnostics' customer information but rather data contained in the legacy database of the other company - Orchid Cellmark - that the lab had acquired in 2012 to expand its business portfolio, the states say. But after detecting a breach in May 2021, "the contractor repeatedly attempted to notify DNA Diagnostics through email, but company employees overlooked the emails for over two months," they said.ĭuring those two months, the attackers installed malware in the company's network and extracted data. Breach DetailsĭNA Diagnostics had hired a third party to conduct data breach monitoring prior to the 2021 incident, the attorneys general say. DNA Diagnostics Center has agreed to pay a $200,000 HIPAA fine to Ohio and a $200,000 HIPAA penalty to Pennsylvania. The breach exposed Social Security numbers and other personal data of about 33,300 consumers in Ohio and about 12,600 in Pennsylvania, the two states say. But that system had never been used in DDC’s operations and had not been active since 2012, DDC said in its breach notification statement in 2021 (see: DNA Testing Firm: 2.1 Million Affected by Legacy Database Hack).ĭata contained in the compromised legacy database was collected between 20. Under the Pennsylvania and Ohio settlements with DNA Diagnostics Center, the Fairfield, Ohio-based company also agreed to implement improvements to its data security, including updating asset inventory of its entire network and disabling or removing any assets identified that are not necessary for any legitimate business purpose.ĭNA Diagnostics Center's hacking incident involved an archived database associated with another national genetic testing organization system that DDC acquired in 2012. See Also: Partnership Insecurity: Practice the Art of Diligence The attorneys general of Pennsylvania and Ohio have slapped a DNA testing lab with HIPAA settlements totaling $400,000 in the wake of a 2021 hack of a legacy database that affected 2.1 million individuals nationwide, including nearly 46,000 consumers in the two states. |
