![]() Installing Signal on an Android phone involves downloading the app from Google Play and registering your phone using your telephone number. Therefore, I’ll address the mobile (Android) app first. Note: Signal is different than many other secure messaging apps in that you need to install and register it on a mobile phone before you can use it anywhere else. Signal hands-on testingįor purposes of this Signal review, I tested out the mobile app for Android, along with the Linux desktop app. ![]() This incident shows both the responsiveness of the Signal team, and the importance of keeping your copy of the Signal app and desktop updated. Note: In September, 2019, a bug in the user interface of the Android version of the Signal app was discovered that could have allowed an attacker to eavesdrop on Signal users.Īccording to, the bug was fixed the same day it was reported. The last update was published in July, 2019. This analysis has been updated several times since, without changing the researcher’s conclusion that the protocol is sound. It showed that the protocol was cryptographically sound. According to that analysis, conducted by researchers from Germany, Switzerland, the United States, and Canada, there were no major flaws in the design. Signal security auditsĪ formal security analysis of the Signal protocol was conducted in 2016. Here are some published findings by experts you can review to see how good Signal really is. ![]() Third-party testing and audits of SignalĮven when a product is 100% open source like Signal, you don’t really know how good it is until someone checks it out. However, it does mean that if you want to keep copies of your messages, you will need to configure Signal to back them up and restore them on your device.įollow this link for instructions on using Signal backup and restore. This is different from apps like Wire messenger, which stores info about your contacts on central servers. This is great for your privacy, since no one can get any more information than that without physical access to your device or those of the people you communicate with. Notably, things we don’t have stored include anything about a user’s contacts (such as the contacts themselves, a hash of the contacts, any other derivative contact information), anything about a user’s groups (such as how many groups a user is in, which groups a user is in, the membership lists of a user’s groups), or any records of who a user has been communicating with.Īll message contents are end-to-end encrypted, so we don’t have that information either. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on. When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. All products of the Signal Foundation are published as free and open-source software. Signal Messenger, LLC is funded by the Signal Technology Foundation (aka Signal Foundation), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In 2018, Marlinspike and Brian Acton founded Signal Messenger, LLC, to take over the development of both the Signal app and the Signal Protocol. In 2013, Moxie Marlinspike (real name Matthew Rosenfeld) founded Open Whisper Systems to develop the Signal app and protocol. Clients for Android, iOS, Mac OS, Windows, Linux.The Signal Messaging Protocol was independently audited in 2016.Signal is generally considered the most secure messaging app in existence.Here are some key features to consider when deciding whether the Signal app is right for you: Now we’ll briefly cover the main features of Signal encrypted messenger.

![]() While you can have more than 10 machines tied to a Microsoft account, the Microsoft Store still has what feels to be an arbitrary 10-device limit.Īs the Microsoft Store notes: “You can use up to 10 devices with Microsoft Store. ![]() I’ve personally set up so many virtual machines with a Microsoft account that when logging into the Microsoft store to use or test some software, I’ve had to log into the Device listing to remove old virtual machines. Many set up virtual machines for testing and do not want the hassle of setting up a computer with a Microsoft account. But it’s the account mandate when deploying Windows 11 Professional that has users a tad bit upset. In addition to the account requirement, Preview Build 22557 also brings the ability to group pinned apps into folders in the Start menu a Do not disturb feature and the Focus feature, among other changes. Instead, you should compare Windows to Apple’s macOS, where you can still set up a computer without needing an account tied to cloud services. And for those who argue that an iPhone or an Android phone demands that you use an account to log in, keep in mind that you’re comparing desktop operating systems to phones. There are many reasons someone might not want a Microsoft account. Or want a peer-to-peer network without a connection to cloud services. And users get a OneDrive location to store files and information so they have a backup if they get hit with ransomware.Īll these advantages sound wonderful, right? But even home users at times want a local-only computer with no internet access. ![]() If you use any of these services, you should already have a Microsoft account:, Office, Skype, OneDrive, Xbox Live, Bing, Microsoft Store, Windows, or MSN.” If your machine has Bitlocker enabled, the Bitlocker keys are backed up in Microsoft’s cloud. As Microsoft points out, the account gives you an “all-access pass to Microsoft's premier services.

When the process is finished, you'll find a copy of the InstallESD.dmg file on your Desktop. This can take a bit of time because the file is around 5.3 GB in size. The InstallESD.dmg file will be copied to your Desktop.Right-click or control-click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Paste Item from the pop-up menu.Close the Finder window, and return to your Mac's Desktop.Right-click or control-click the InstallESD.dmg file, and then select Copy "InstallESD.dmg" from the pop-up menu.The Finder window will display the contents of the Install OS X Mavericks file.Right-click or control-click the Install OS X Mavericks file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.Look through your list of applications and locate the one named Install OS X Mavericks.Open a Finder window and navigate to your Applications folder.Since the installer image file is contained within the OS X Mavericks installer app, we must first extract the file and copy it to the Desktop, where we can then easily make use of it. This image file contains a bootable system and the files necessary to install OS X Mavericks. In order to create a bootable copy of the OS X Mavericks installer, you must locate the InstallESD.dmg file that's hidden in the OS X Mavericks installer you downloaded from the Mac App Store. A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size a larger flash drive is fine, too.If needed, you can re-download OS X Mavericks A valid copy of OS X Mavericks purchased and downloaded from the Mac App Store.If you prefer to use an internal or external drive, the process is similar, and this guide should work just fine for you. You can also use an internal drive or partition if your Mac has more than one internal drive installed.įor this guide, we're going to concentrate on creating a bootable USB flash drive to hold the OS X Mavericks installer. But you're not limited to these two options you can use any type of bootable media, including external drives connected via USB 2, USB 3, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and Thunderbolt. The two most common are probably USB flash drives and optical media (a dual-layer DVD). You can create the physical backup of Mavericks on a number of different types of media. ![]() The second way and the one we will take you through here is a manual method that uses the Finder and Disk Utility to create the bootable installer. You can find out more about this method in the guide How to Make a Bootable Flash Installer of OS X or macOS. It does work very well when a USB flash drive is a targeted destination. It's only real disadvantage is that it doesn't work directly to burn a bootable DVD. The first one makes use of Terminal and a hidden command that is deep within the Mavericks installer package that can create a bootable copy of the installer on any mounted bootable media such as a flash drive or external drive. There are two different methods that can be used to create a bootable Mavericks installer. Two Methods of Creating a Bootable Mavericks Installer If you would like to have a physical backup of the OS X Mavericks installer, our guide will show you how to create it. That's all well and good for many Mac users, and very convenient as well, but we like to have a physical copy of the installer, just in case we need to reinstall the OS or wish to install it on another Mac we own, without going through the download process again. With just a click or two, you can download and install the software from the online store.Īs with previous downloadable OS X installers, this one assumes that you're ready to go it launches the OS X Mavericks installation app as soon as the download is complete. This has several advantages, the biggest of which is almost immediate delivery. ![]() OS X Mavericks is the third version of OS X to be sold primarily as a download from the Mac App Store. ![]() The entire bottom is covered in non-slip to keep the bowl from sliding around when your eager pup eats. ![]() The rim helps prevent spills but also makes it easier for people to handle when moving the bowl around. The bowl is deep with a small rim around the edge. This sturdy stainless has a few extras that make it an all-around good choice for most pups. Stainless steel is a popular choice because it’s easy to clean and doesn’t break. But there are several other dog bowls we also love that might work even better for your pooch. Plus, it comes in four sizes and has a full silicone non-slip bottom. The deep bowl has a rim to deter splashing. Our favorite dog bowl is Max & Neo Heavy Stainless Steel Non-Skid Dog Bowl. Instead, she opts for stainless steel dog bowls in her home, because they’re easy to clean and durable. “Plastic is the worst for carrying germs, plus the dogs chew them, which means they’re out!” Duhr said. Duhr has fostered hundreds of dogs and has an average of about a dozen dogs in her home at once. “It’s been trial and error, finding what works for dogs,” Judy Duhr, director of Speak Rescue and Sanctuary, told The Spruce Pets. We spoke to multiple pet experts to hear about their favorite dog bowls. ![]() The best dog bowl will be easy to clean, the right size to accommodate your dog's appetites, made from a safe material, and look great wherever you have your dog's feeding station set up. Dogs spend a lot of time around their bowls-either eating, drinking, or hoping the bowl will be filled soon. ![]() Or, you can choose Literary, Simplified, and Traditional variations of Mandarin Chinese. For example, you can automatically translate texts into Cantonese (Traditional). Competitors like Google Translate may support more languages, but Microsoft Translator offers the more unique language variations. Microsoft supports translation into over 100 languages. ![]() The right choice for you depends on factors like budget or the languages you want to translate texts into.įor a reliable and cost-effective solution, look no further than Microsoft Azure Translator. When it comes to deciding which machine translation engine to use, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Because they’re affordable and fast, they make it possible for even the smallest companies to translate their website’s content. Machine translation services make it easier for people worldwide to communicate with one another. The Benefits of Using Microsoft Azure Translator ![]() But to use the machine translation service on a WordPress site, a quality multilingual plugin is key. If you are looking for a powerful and budget-friendly machine translation engine, Microsoft Azure Translator won’t let you down. ![]() “I wanted it to look like the jar was filled with red raspberry preserves,” says Matt. When the Mason Jar Preserve is syncing, it animates the LEDs using the Node.js script, BitTorrent Sync API, and the GPIO pins. Therefore, the larger the SD card you put in your Pi, the more you can store.” It uses the Raspberry Pi’s SD card for storage. “I really just wanted one more layer of redundant backup of things like the birth of our kids, wedding photos, and various family-related media. Matt uses his the Mason Jar Preserve to back up family photos and videos. If I shared that key publicly, then I’d have a public file-sharing seed similar to the BitTorrent everyone knows and loves.” Keys can provide either read/write access or read-only access to anyone you give it to. "This key unituely identifies it over the BitTorrent sync protocol. “Whenever you create a sync folder, it gets a unique string of letters and numbers,” explains Matt. Unlike BitTorrent file sharing, Matt’s system is completely private. So basically, it’s free and the storage is only limited to the connected storage." Just like Dropbox, connected BitTorrent sync machines all sync up a specified folder on their system. “It’s similar to Dropbox,” he says, “but instead of a centralised server in the cloud, you connect two or more of your own devices directly together over the BitTorrent protocol. Matt used BitTorrent to create the backup software. Also, because I was low on USB WiFi dongles. ![]() “In the end I chose Ethernet for transfer speed, availability, simplicity, and reliability. “I am still curious how much glass would affect the signal,” he tells us. Matt’s Mason Jar Preserve connects via Ethernet, but you could use WiFi. BitTorrent Sync is an application that turns your home computer into a cloud storage solution using the power of torrents. A few trips to Home Depot for antique drawer pulls, some rubber feet, brackets and screws, and that was it.” It fit, even with a little room to spare!” Building the Mason Jar Preserve was fairly straightforward: “I used a saw to cut the base into a square, a sander to round it off, and a drill to make the LED, Ethernet, and power holes. One day I just grabbed the largest jar and slid the Pi inside. The idea came to Matt at work: “I had a few various-sized Mason jars sitting around. “In my great-grandmother’s basement, there were shelves and shelves of various-sized jars filled with everything from pickled beets to you-name-it preserves.” But rather than preserve tasty foodstuffs, Matt’s Mason jar preserves Matt’s family memories. Who doesn’t want tasty fried okra in February? “Mason jars allowed for foods that were harvested in the summer to last all year round. ![]() “They are industrial-grade glass jars with a sealable lid that were originally used at home to preserve foods throughout the winter,” says Matt. The Raspberry Pi-powered Mason Jar Preserve is the most stylish backup solution we’ve ever seen.Īt this point, The MagPi’s non-US readers might be wondering what on earth a Mason jar is. Matt Reed, a professional web developer and maker from West Virginia, has created this amazing project. ![]() Bilateral symmetry, that is, two- sided symmetry, is the most common, in which two halves of a work of art mirror each other, as in Perugino’s painting, Christ Giving the Keys of the Kingdom. Symmetry is a very formal type of balance consisting of a mirroring of portions of an image. For each work, one or two elements may dominate and become the focal point (s), and the other elements take supporting roles. Balance is an even use of elements throughout a work of art. 'Reminiscing the Artwork of the Radical outlet for the Xenomaniac in You', this mini-exhibition emphasises the presence of art and performance with the belief that it has been the inspiration for spectacle esthetics at festivals as we know them today. The goal is for all of them to exist together in harmony. It gives new meaning to local, seemingly self-contained expressions of mass youth culture and its impact on contemporary art and culture on a global scale.įor Sweet Harmony, guest curators Inez Giele de Jong and Joost van Bellen, former programmers of the Club RoXY, have compiled an ode to the art collection of this illustrious Amsterdam nightspot, which put culture, art and music movements such as house, easy tune and hip-hop on the map in the Netherlands. ![]() Sweet Harmony outlines the broad international context in which Dutch rave culture is embedded. The nightclubs Waakzaamheid in Koog aan de Zaan, Parkzicht in Rotterdam, and the RoXY in Amsterdam were places of prominence where manifestations of the Dutch rave and house culture in the late eighties and early nineties originated. Their artistic expressions touch upon themes such as the spiritual and mythical aspects of rave rave as a space for queer play and resistance and exposes how rave culture has emerged in various cities worldwide at the same time. Sweet Harmony shows works of artists who came from rave culture or are inspired by it in their practice. Rave has been a breeding ground for creative expression since its inception in the US (Chicago and Detroit), the UK, the Balearics and continental Europe. Balancing a composition in harmony in architecture entails organising both positive and negative spaces in such a manner that no one aspect of the design. Raw and dark with multigenerational graffiti on its concrete walls, the tunnel’s post-industrial architecture will feel like familiar territory to ravers old and new. The principles of art are the fundamental rules that artists use to compose a painting, drawing or sculpture. ![]() After previous editions in London and Manchester, the third edition of Sweet Harmony takes place in the most suitable space in Het HEM: the 200m-long former shooting range in the basement of the building. ![]() Anything that can morph into a form that can tickle, molest or simply ogle Betty will do so - pulling up her skirt is the usual thing to do. Betty, Bimbo and Koko the Clown become chess pieces in one cartoon. Inanimate objects come to life or imitate animals for no reason at all, as when a boat anchor momentarily becomes a "dog" to dry itself off. Surreal and Bizarre are good descriptors for the goings-on Warners' "Wackyland" cartoons are tame by comparison. ![]() Some of the cartoons have a central situation but no linear story, just a framework on which to hang a series of gags. Most setups use the Fleischer "Toontown" style perfectly recaptured in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, in which main characters, background extras, inanimate objects and even background features "bop" with the beat of the music - usually a jazz band flat four rhythm. What are the cartoons like? They're insane. All of the cartoons have lively jazz soundtracks, some of them featuring tunes and vocals by Cab Calloway. The cartoon dog Bimbo is Betty's constant companion in the early cartoons, many of which mixed and matched our girl with other Fleischer characters. Two years of talkie cartoons are not accounted for in this collection many of them may be in the Public Domain. Olive's Betty Boop: The Essential Collection Volume 1 begins in 1932, a couple of years after Betty became a 'solo' star. Boop is awfully close to the stage and screen persona used by comedienne Helen Kane, whose signature was the Boop-boop-a-doop! phrase. By 1930 or so she decided to be just plain human. Moreau might approve of - Betty started out as a humanoid French Poodle, with doggy ears no less. Like many animated characters, she underwent an evolution, in this case one that Dr. Betty has been described as having a baby's head atop a mature female body. Her Betty sounds adorable, almost infantile. If the name sounds unfamiliar, Questel has a featured part 35 years later in Barbra Streisand's Funny Girl, and brings the accent with her. All those hundreds of local state and municipal censorship agencies were having too much trouble keeping real near-nudity out of live action studio films.Īlthough other actresses served as well, actress Mae Questel is tagged as Betty's principal voice artist. Asked what she, does in one cartoon she answers, "I Boop-boop-a-doop!" In other words, Betty Boop is the animated answer to Mae West, except that being a cartoon character apparently helped her slip more easily under the censorship radar. Heck, she'll show her underwear any time at all, followed by a mock gesture of embarrassment. She squeals with satisfaction at every sign of affection, or even if a gust of wind throws her skirt up. At least in the Pre-code era, Betty flaunts her body, winks at men and plays the innocent as she sends out all the desired signals, including the unequivocal "yoo hoo!" call. Like most producers of the 20s and 30s trying to get a toe hold on the barely lucrative animated short subject business, Fleischer and his staff invented or licensed dozens of characters - but none had the 'special' appeal of "sweet Betty."Ī parody of a late '20s flapper, Betty Boop is a pneumatic cutie in an abbreviated costume that accentuates little round breasts (yes! in a cartoon character) and a racy garter on one thigh. The risqué darling of the Depression years, Betty Boop was sensationally popular, almost as popular as Dave and Max Fleischer's Popeye. ![]() Made of pen and ink! She can win you with a wink!
