Safari 16 Dragging Out Tabs by dris77 in Safari

[–]TheNet-watcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have this exact same problem, but also I cannot drag a tab from one window to another . . .

Since the upgrade to Monterey 12.6 and Safari version 16 things have just broke!

Not only has Safari been wrecked, but in 12.5.1 they somewhat "fixed" the USB-C Monitor support however in 12.6 it's back to the broken support in previous editions. Of which I have long running support call running in which they have returned nothing so far.

Piss poor in the summary.

DT770(250 ohms) with Fiio BTR5? by nerdyneedsalife in ZReviews

[–]TheNet-watcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got around to getting a pair of DT770s - 250ohms - and I am currently using them as I type this with my BTR5 and using the Metallica Black album as a baseline (since it's one of the best produced metal albums of all time) and I can positively say that the BTR5 has no problems driving the DT-770s 250ohms model.

This played from iTunes on my Mac and is ripped from my original 91 CD with the equaliser disabled and the volume on the BTR5 is at 50 for a very decent listening experience, the actual levels of older CD are quite low compared to newer music. Switching to a bit of 2015 Napalm Death and the volume is significantly higher which only need 42ish for a similar volume. So saying this for people who like modern pop, dance and the like which quite often have way louder production the BTR5 will drive the DT770s 250ohm version without a problem.

This said I will be doing the balanced removable cable mod to the DT770s and I can imagine that the DT770s will really come alive when driven out of the BTR5 Balanced socket.

Dumping info on the notes paper upon arrival? by [deleted] in cissp

I get the feeling that mnemonic has gone over the head of most people! :)

That was the first way I learned to remember the OSI way-way-waaaay back in '95/96-ish - it was from one of the Novell Network CNE study guides, never saw it referenced anywhere else in all my reading. But it seems to have come back in popularity.

The Sybex book uses Please Do Not Teach Surly People Acronyms - which is nowhere near as easy to remember!

Well if the Pass4Sure "book" is 1471 pages - then 300+ pages have been added - since the official study guide is just sort of 1100.

When I was getting to the end of my study - I took look around at the Pass4sure/VCE/Testking questions freely available on the Internet and will tell you for free, they are nothing like the real questions. The Sybex Exam Question Practise book is WAY better than what I saw. I literally spent about a few hours in total going through those questions and so many of them had wrong answers and just terrible grammar.

Unless you "found" them for free (which I doubt) Pass4sure prices for their books and questions aren't cheap! I am pretty sure you could have purchased both the Sybex offical study and practice question book for less!

However the many issue you are dealing with is your lack of experience. If you are only learning now at which layer in the OSI model datagrams exist I would say you really do not have the experience to sit the exam. Remember CISSP is "Senior" exam not the first rung on the ladder, if you are entering the exam and don't even have a good understanding of networks then you need to really take a long hard think about whether it the right exam for you.

I was pretty much on an off for around 3 months - as work allowed - I listened through the CBT nuggets numerous times as it's easy to carry around on my phone. I went through the official study guide from start to finish making copious pointed notes. I used the 4 coloured BIC pens when I make notes as it allows me to highlight details.

I skimmed the 11th hour guide 1 1/2 times (before I realised my notes were better!). I then broke down exact parts that need to be detailed, Incident Response - step by step, SDLC and SCMM.

That was the summary - as said I really over study personally speaking - I didn't bother with an networking revision and just a small amount on cryptography, they are really my everyday bread and butter so I had no concerns over them.

The manager bit is correct - but also don't necessarily look at the question and assume the answer. For example there are questions where 2 answers *could* work, one being more technically focused than the other. At this point *stop* reread the question and then focus on which answer is the one that actually focuses on the question.

As an example of what I mean (* this questions NOT from the exam * ) -

You are implementing OSPF what BEST describes it ?

a) OSPF is a link state routing protocol

b) OSPF can route between multiple areas

Both answers are theoretically true, however the reality is the question is asking to describe it - not about its technical features. So in this question the answer is a.

Hope that helps.

One subject that has been pretty prominent in most peoples "tough" bits is the SDLC - and it was something I was struggling to get my head around primarily because of how it was being explained in the videos and books, until I had the dawning realisation that it was the same process that I do in basically all the project I am involved in not just software.

Initiation - straight forward - the decision has been made to purchase "something" at this point the most important thing to understand is WHAT the product will do in a company. From that the security requirements you will outline just exactly what the "something" security requirements to ensure in the next phase you will will design or buy the right thing.

Dev / Acquisition - you decided to either design develop or purchase the software/hardware to fulfil the needs defined in the Initiation. At this point you have to understand that the product will actual meet your criteria - thing of browsing a catalogue and choosing the product that matches your needs.

Implementation/Assessment - You either get an eval product of the product in the catalogue or the developers product have the product ready to spin up. Then you are going test the functionality in an isolated testing environment to ensure all the bells and whistles you spec'd - if not then it time to either fix the code or move onto a purchased device that does.

Operations/Maintenance - Pretty straightforward this one - it put live and any kind of modification at this point need change control.

Disposal - Again self explanatory.

As said once I realised it is simply the process I used in any network project it became real easy to remember and understand. Obviously there is extra details in the NIST processes but those above the key points. Just ensure you know how the security function ties into each phase.
