Thanks to Jeff Johnson for pointing out what should have been obvious about the dyld files: they’re compressed (a longstanding feature of Mac file systems which has never been made available to third parties). How many users will simply not update, which surely defeats their whole purpose? Imagine every single Security Update to Big Sur having a minimum size of 3.1 GB on Apple Silicon Macs. Unless Apple improves its design of macOS updates, they will continue to plague those who have upgraded to Big Sur, regardless of whether they upgrade again to Monterey. Whatever the causes of these very large updates, and however much you try to reduce their impact by using the Content Caching Server, they’re more than mere inconvenience to the user. It’s not impossible that some of their content is ‘cloned’ with one another, but that’s not confirmed by their APFS flags. In case you’re thinking that they must be APFS sparse files, the file system doesn’t report them as being regular sparse files, neither are they bundles. ![]() Look at those files, though, and they don’t appear to be that big, each occupying around 1 GB on disk despite a file size of more than double that. ![]() ![]() Each of those is given as being around 2.4 GB in size, meaning that there would appear to be nearly 5 GB of totally redundant dyld shared cache on every Mac running Big Sur. The first thing that strikes you is that every Mac, regardless of its processor, contains three copies of the dyld shared cache for separate processor architectures, x86_64, x86_64h and arm64e. These are assembled in /System/Library/dyld, and behave very oddly. One is the use of cache files for the active contents of Frameworks and Private Frameworks code. Architecture-specific features such as Rosetta 2 are therefore stored on the Data volume, and the System volume contains system files which are common to any and all Macs which can run that version of macOS.īig Sur has also brought internal changes which are widely believed to be important in adding to the size of updates. Rather than have two or more different variants of each release of macOS, Apple’s policy is for there to be just one, with a single Seal for all installations of 11.5.1, for instance. It’s this that appears to account for the difference in size between Intel and M1 Mac updates.īig Sur’s Signed System Volume also plays a part. There’s another quirk too: although the main body of each update, at least 2 GB, is common to both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, and can be delivered from a Content Caching Server, just over 900 MB has to be downloaded individually to each Apple Silicon Mac at the start of every update, and can’t be cached locally. Executable code doesn’t make up the majority of the system or its updates, but is a substantial proportion. It also means that each update is a Universal binary, containing a complete set of executable code to run native on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Those for Intel Macs amount to more than 600 MB, and that for M1 models must also be substantial, and regardless of which model you’re going to update, the download contains a complete set. Coupled with its policy that only macOS updates can contain firmware updaters, it means that each has to contain a complete set of firmware updates for all supported models. One policy which has led to the inexorable growth in the size of macOS updates is that each is universal: Apple only releases one update, which has to install and update all Macs supported by that version of macOS. So how come it’s necessary to download 2.2-3.1 GB and wait 15 minutes for ‘preparing’ of the update? ![]() As of 11.5.1, M1 Macs have now had over 43 GB of macOS updates, and Monterey must still be at least six weeks away.īig Sur 11.5.1, like 11.2.2 before it, is as minimal as updates get, containing a useful payload of no more than a few megabytes at most. The smallest updates to Mojave and Catalina came in at 1 GB, while 11.5.1 was Big Sur’s smallest yet at more than double that size for an Intel Mac, and triple for an M1 model. What’s most striking isn’t their frequency – 11.5.1 is only the tenth update to Big Sur, the same as in Mojave and less than Catalina’s dozen – but their size. On the other hand, you can almost hear the moans about several gigabytes download and yet another hour or more of installation. On the one hand, we’re all delighted that Apple is fixing bugs and, most important of all, closing security vulnerabilities as soon as it becomes aware of them. Updates to Big Sur have been mixed blessings.

To conjure a Patronus, one must concentrate on his or her happiest memory. This spell is incredibly difficult to produce, but when performed accurately, will release the witch or wizard's Patronus (AKA a spirit animal). Players’ suggestions are taken into account in the latest feature update to make the unlocks. This update reimagines the popular Creature mechanics for an even more engaging experience. The defense against a Dementor is one of the most famous spells in Harry Potter lore - the Patronus Charm. today announced the release of a new update to the Magical Creatures feature in its match-3 puzzle mobile game, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells. They were later employed to defend Hogwarts' borders when Sirius Black escaped and ultimately join forces with Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War. The kiss leaves the person in a persistent vegetative state, and a witch or wizard in this condition does not have the option of becoming a ghost, since a person's soul must be in tact to roam the earth.ĭementors served as guards and torture mechanisms for the prisoners of Azkaban. This fate is often considered worse than death. The Dark creature's ultimate weapon is called the Dementor's Kiss, which it gives when it removes its cloak, clamps its jaw around a victim's mouth, and sucks out his or her soul. The Zouwu is a monstrously large feline beastas big as an elephantwith a striped body, scraggly mane, four fangs that.

Ignoring those creatures that are able to simply Apparate from place to place almost instantaneously (which includes the Phoenix, the Diricawl, the Elf and the Wizard ), the fastest seen is probably the Zouwo. Pop culture fans will adore so many of the other Lego sets available. Better than owning a three-headed dog, we suppose.

Hatori Bisco, the creator of Ouran High School Host Club said that there could be a slight little chance that Mori-senpai and Haruhi could be a couple! Unlike his brother, Satoshi is more outgoing than Mori-senpai, but Satoshi looks up to him and adores him. His name is Satoshi Morinozuka and he's the captain of the Kendo Club. In the manga, we see Takashi isn't an only child, he has a younger brother. He can be very negative and very pessimistic if Hunny-senpai is mad at him or Hunny-senpai is hurt. In episode 12, when Hunny-senpai got his cavities, we got to see him talk more after Hunny-senpai threw him across the music room because he wouldn't give him sweets. This episode makes crab look so appetizing. I wonder why they changed the joke from Mori-senpai is holding a mori to Mori is her senpai not her sentai. Later we find out in episode 7 that he is also a member in the Kendo Club and one heck of a national champion! Also, in the same episode, you see a little moment when Mori-senpai calls Haruhi for the first time by her first name, and Haruhi was actually happy about it. I love Haruhi and I love Caitlin Glass, but the yelling was kind of like needles in my ears. And also, in episode 2, he and Hunny-senpai kidnapped her while she was dancing with Kasugasaki Kanako (at that time Kanako doesn't know Haruhi is really a girl and at the end Kanako and Haruhi kissed). In the first episode, you see Mori-senpai carried Haruhi away from Tamaki like a sack of potatoes, when Haruhi calls him out for help (at the moment he carries her, he found out that Haruhi is actually a girl). Still, Mori-senpai followed this tradition, serving Hunny-senpai. For generations, the Morinozuka Family served the Haninozuka Family, until a marriage between them blended the two families two generations ago. So far the only one who calls him by his first name is Hunny-senpai, and Mori-senpai calls Hunny-senpai by his first name too. You can picture him as a Siberian husky, strong yet a kind personality. He takes orders quite seriously and literally. But for some odd reason, he is labeled the "Wild" type host. Like Kyoya said "His taciturnity is his selling point". He IS quite popular with the ladies who goes to their Host Club. He's the perfect guy for girls looking for guys who have the same traits as Mori-senpai has. He is a tall, tanned, dark, handsome, quiet guy. The only reason why Takashi joined the Host Club is because Hunny-senpai did. He's a senior attending Ouran High with Hunny-senpai a senior who's also his cousin. Hiddleston once again delivers a superb portrayal of Loki as he brings the script to life with quick one-liners and dramatic monologues. ![]() Addressing issues like determinism and predestination, “Loki” pushes the creative boundary of MCU as it adds intricate layers to the future of Marvel with its thoughtful investigation of the nature of existence. ![]() Presenting intense questions about the illusory nature of freedom when a predetermined timeline exists, the power of “Loki” stems from its unique and open discourse about the factors dictating identity and free will. In an important turn of events, Loki is hired to track down the supposed villain of the story, a female variant of himself named Sylvie. While “Loki” should have given a well-deserved expansion to Loki’s character, the exposition-heavy story instead feels like a prequel to a movie the audience has not seen and did not ask for.ĭocumenting the protection of the proclaimed “sacred timeline” by the Time Variance Authority, “Loki” tells the story of the titular character’s diversion from his intended path and his subsequent removal from his timeline. Releasing one episode a week since June 9, the mini-series just released its sixth and final episode. Limited time bred convoluted plot lines that left viewers with too many questions and little resolution. With its promising premise and beautiful production, “Loki” had a strong start that was unfortunately lost in the final episodes. Disney Plus’ new show “Loki” follows this evolution and expands on Loki’s character development by exploring the meaning of free will, faith and identity. ![]() Played by the beloved actor Tom Hiddleston, Loki won over viewers with his debut in 2011’s “Thor.” Despite his introduction as a villain, MCU fans have watched him develop into a reformed hero. When the Marvel Cinematic Universe announced a wave of new television shows, it was no surprise that the charismatic brother of Thor, Loki, secured a series all to himself. Scheduling scan tasks is unfortunately only possible with the professional edition, so you have to do the scan manually every time you need it. To speed up the scan, you can optionally set it to scan only the files that have been modified in the last 30 days. SUPERAntiSpyware will even scan ZIP files if you enable the function. If you don’t feel safe enough you can always choose the complete scan that will perform a thorough scan. If it is indeed a false alarm, you can restore the files and exclude them from future scanning to prevent the same situation from happening ever again.Ī quick scan is provided to check the condition of your system in the shortest time possible. Since that’s the case, it is always a good idea to take a good look at the quarantined files first instead of immediately removing them. ![]() Even the most expensive anti malware cannot detect files accurately all the time. You can expect this to happen to SUPERAntiSpyware as well. It is a pretty well known fact that sometimes an anti malware falsely detects a safe file as a harmful one. SUPERAntiSpyware will keep suspicious files in the quarantine for as long as 30 days. As long as it is there, it won’t be able to harm your system. The action it takes when detecting a file that has been infected by malware is moving it to the quarantine section. Mix digital music or video, replacing your turntables and CD players. These two limitations make SUPERAntiSpyware useful only as a second opinion. Even the database, which is said to be updated several times a day, has to be updated manually. There is no real time protection in the free edition. So far it sounds good, but the limitations of the free edition may make you think twice before solely relying on SUPERAntiSpyware to block threats. ![]() It is also armed with the so-called Process Interrogation Technology that is claimed to be able to detect threats that are usually hard to find and Multi-Dimensional Scanning to perform scans better. SUPERAntiSpyware can detect various malicious threats, including trojan, worm, keylogger, ransomware, and more. ![]() ![]() In its latest earnings report in May, the company beat expectations, reporting around $103.58 million in revenue versus the consensus estimate of $103.07 million.

Plus in the case of my low-end EuroTubes probe that behaved so oddly, it was actually my DMM that was reading the current once the socket doohickie was in place so the sensing device would have been in the DMM, whether sense resistor, half-effect sensor, or the somewhat rare tootsie roll sensor. Interesting to hear these terms, but not really getting at the key point - which is, that by whatever means a bias probe of this sort measures current, the process seems to be disruptive to some amps. I will say, though, that in past threads on bias meters on this forum, many users have reported satisfaction with EuroTubes probes. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend the EuroTubes probes, based on both my experience & Lord Valve's warning. The user manual can be found here, but I don't see a description of its internal workings - so as suggests, you might want to ask. I don't know how the TAD BiasMaster works, but if it were me, I would make sure it uses the 1 ohm resistors. So I bought & assembled a Bias Scout probe kit courtesy of TubeDepot the Scout does use the 1 ohm resistors, and it works far better - with my DVM set up to read voltage, I get a stable reading from the probe as soon as the tubes are warmed up. The probe would settle down after maybe 10 minutes, but I didn't trust it. Something of the sort happened when I would use my Eurotube Octal Bias probe (plus my DVM set to read current) on my innocent little Laney Cub 10 amp - it was difficult to get a stable reading, because even after the tubes were warm, the readout on my meter would move up and down across a fairly wide range, as if at random, for many minutes - not quite what I'd call oscillation, since to me "oscillation" means something insanely rapid this was merely a constantly changing value, but even so it was unsettling. ![]() This would be fine, except that probes which measure current directly in this fashion can weird readings, including oscillation. My first probe was their low-end model, the "Eurotubes Octal Bias Probe," and it operates by measuring current and evidently the Pro One does as well see this brag quote from the EuroTubes product page: This definitely includes the various probes marketed under the EuroTube brand. Some operate differently: they measure current directly, not voltage, and are proud of it. In fact, all bias probes do not put a 1 ohm resistor in the cathode path. And I am not alone in my mistrust here is Lord Valve, who will give the closing argument for the prosecution - his biasing FAQ can be found at Duncan's Amp Pages at : I did not find this a satisfactory response. I wrote EuroTubes and they denied that customers had ever reported oscillation problems, let alone the slower instability I'd experienced. So I bought & assembled a Bias Scout probe kit courtesy of TubeDepot the Scout does use the 1 ohm resistors, and it works far better - with my DMM set up to read voltage, I get a stable reading from the probe as soon as the tubes are warmed up.
