![]() Google pulls Chrome Web Developer extension over ad-injectingįirst Chrome extension with JavaScript Crypto Miner detected The Chrome Web Store and AMO () had serious incidents such as tricks to embed malicious code in browser extension updates.Ĭhrome extension CopyFish hijacked: remove now! Google does not “manually” check extension reviews and relies on AI (artificial intelligence).Īt AMO (), AI dependence has been discontinued and a dedicated person has changed to a method of manual and thorough inspection, and since then, fraudulent products have been eradicated. The frequent storm of “illegal goods” on the “Chrome Web Store” has spread to “extensions for Microsoft Edge,” Microsoft’s sloppyness is revealed (insufficient review process and lack of crisis management skills). The official view was that Microsoft switched to the “Chromium” base because “the extensions that could be added to Microsoft browsers were too poor (both quality and quantity) to compete with Google and Mozilla.” If you install the malicious product, the “iframe” will be inserted in the “div dot show / alink” of every page accessed by the user.įor the “Chromium” version of UBO, Raymone Hill declared “development support discontinuation” a year ago. No progress has been made after two weeks, and fraudulent products remain available. The developer of UBO (Raymone Hill) discovered that “UBO”, which can be added from Microsoft’s official extension download site, has been replaced with a tampered “illegal product”, tweeted the findings two weeks ago, and reported the “illegal” to Microsoft on the same day. The “Chromium” version of UBO (unlike the Firefox version) is a “half-finished specification” that function restricted (limited). Now You: do you vet extensions before you install them? You could look for reviews on trusted sites, or make sure that the company that supposedly created the extension has indeed created it by verifying that on the company site. Reviews and ratings help only so much, as they can be faked and sometimes, may not be available. One of the best options is to analyze the code of the extension, but that is hardly something that all Edge users can do. ![]() This leads to the following question: what can you do to protect yourself? In other words: there is always the chance that an extension is malicious in nature because of an insufficient vetting process. The two incidents suggest that users need to be very careful when installing extensions from the Microsoft Edge extensions store as Microsoft's protections are as weak as Google's protections on the Chrome Web Store. Raymone Hill, maker of the popular content blocker uBlock Origin, discovered another fake extension in the store that was based on an earlier version of uBlock Origin and manipulated website content to inject content on websites the user visited. Microsoft pulled the fake extensions from its web store and users who installed these in Edge will have them disabled on the next start of the browser automatically. ![]() NordVPN, Adguard VPN or The Great Suspender to lure users into installing the extensions. All of these extensions were hosted on the official Microsoft Store they used names of popular services and programs, e.g. It turned out that rogue extensions were responsible for that. According to the information, users of Edge opened support requests when they started to notice that searches were redirected when they used the Microsoft Edge browser. Sites like Techdows published articles on the removal. Microsoft had to remove malicious extensions from its Edge extensions store in May, and it appears that the company had to remove additional extensions this month. The increase seems to have brought along with it the issues that the other popular extension stores face from time to time. Edge users may install Chrome extensions as well next to that. The switch to Chromium pushed the number of available extensions for Microsoft Edge and the Store is now hosting thousands of extensions for the browser. Microsoft operates its own extensions store as part of Microsoft Store, and things seemed to have taken a turn for the better with the switch to the Chromium base earlier this year.Ĭlassic Microsoft Edge suffered from a lack of available extensions, and while Microsoft tried to explain the low number of extensions for the browser, it was clear that the browser could not compete with Google's or Mozilla's extension stores.

![]() The first researchers to comprehensively study and describe the phenomenon were Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in the 1960s. It is one of several types of cognitive bias that comes into play when people have to make decisions. Watch videos on the availability heuristic. The anchoring effect, or anchoring heuristic, was discovered by cognitive psychologists. More about the anchoring heuristic on this website.įind the latest research on the anchoring heuristic. “101 uses!”) can increase purchase quantities (Wansink et al., 1998). This anchoring-and-adjustment heuristic is assumed to underlie many intuitive judgments, and insufficient adjustment is commonly invoked to explain. This seems to happen in cooperative groups. “limit of 12 per person”) or ‘expansion anchors’ (e.g. Such negotiation takes place in a heuristic fashion, with members settling on an easy middle-of-the-road solution. “Buy 18 Snickers bars for your freezer”), but also purchase quantity limits (e.g. ![]() Anchoring effects have also been shown in the consumer packaged goods category, whereby not only explicit slogans to buy more (e.g. In practice, anchoring effects are often less arbitrary, as evident the price of the first house shown to us by a real estate agent may serve as an anchor and influence perceptions of houses subsequently presented to us (as relatively cheap or expensive). Results showed that people’s subsequent estimate of house prices were significantly influenced by the arbitrary anchor, even though they were given a 10 minute presentation on facts and figures from the housing market at the beginning of the study. Anchoring heuristic happens when we base our decisions unduly on either previously acquired knowledge or the initial piece of information (Myers, 2022). Anchoring bias (also known asanchoring heuristic or anchoring effect) is a type of cognitive biasthat causes people to favor information they received early in the decision-making process. It allows you to act in the moment, which is needed in some circumstances. Under pressure or time constraints, you may not have to take the time to evaluate details or gather more information before responding. One experiment asked participants to write down the last three digits of their phone number multiplied by one thousand (e.g. Anchoring is considered a heuristic because it provides a shortcut for judging situations quickly. The process usually occurs without our awareness (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974) and has been researched in many contexts, including probability estimates, legal judgments, forecasting and purchasing decisions (Furnham & Boo, 2011). Anchoring is a particular form of priming effect whereby initial exposure to a number serves as a reference point and influences subsequent judgments. ![]() ![]() While the auditory setting is set to ‘No Clicking Sound’ by default, you can choose from a large list of sounds to listen to.

Dracula turned angrily to those who had interrupted him. There, they found Dracula sitting on her bed forcing her to drink from a cut on his chest. When they finally became aware of this, they rushed to Mina’s bedroom. Having given Lucy her peace (and, by implication, returned her virtue) in the act of staking and decapitating her, the men called together by Van Helsing to rid the world of Dracula, were slow to awaken to his real target-Mina. But by this time, the women’s sexual interest in Dracula was firmly established and led directly to the most sexual scene in the book. The older and wiser Abraham Van Helsing rejected the idea, given the sexual connotation for himself and the others who also gave her blood. Arthur, who never was able to consummate his love for Lucy, suggested that in the sharing of blood he had, in the eyes of God, married her. Stoker’s understanding, however unconscious, of the sexual nature of the vampiric attack became most clear in the blood transfusions that were given to Lucy in the attempt to save her life. ![]() Shortly before her death, she asked Arthur to kiss her, and when he leaned toward her, she attempted to bite him. Thus began Lucy’s slow transformation from the virtuous and proper, if somewhat frivolous, young lady, into what Judith Weissman termed a “sexual monster.” By day she was faint and listless, but by night she took on a most unladylike voluptuousness. Dracula left as Mina approached, but she found Lucy with her lips parted and breathing heavily. As Mina approached, she could see a figure bending over Lucy. One evening, Lucy was discovered by Mina in her nightclothes across the river. While on a seaside vacation in Whitby, Lucy began sleepwalking. While preparing for her wedding, however, Lucy was distracted by the presence of Dracula. Mina, to the contrary, was in love with Jonathan and pined in loneliness while he was lost in the wilds of Transylvania. Lucy, as the subject of the attention of three men, reveled in their obvious desire of her before she chose Arthur Holmwood, the future Lord Godalming, as her betrothed. One of the women anticipated the object of their desire, “He is young and strong there are kisses for us all.” And as they approached, Harker waited in delightful anticipation.Īttention in the novel then switched to the two “good” women, Lucy Westenra and Mina Murray. Stoker went on to describe the three as sensual predators and their vampire’s bite as a kiss. Harker noted, “I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with their red lips” (chapter 3). ![]() Harker confronted them as extremely appealing sex objects who embody an element of danger. Sexuality in Dracula: The sexual nature of vampirism is first seen in Dracula during Jonathan Harker‘s encounter with the three vampire brides residing in Castle Dracula. Carol Fry, for example, suggested that vampirism was in fact a form of “surrogate sexual intercourse.” The sexual nature of vampirism formed an underlying theme in Dracula, but it was disguised in such a way that it was hidden from the literary censors of the day, the consciousness of the public, and probably from the awareness (as many critics argued) of author Bram Stoker himself. ![]() As twentieth-century scholars turned their attention to the vampire, both in folklore and literature, underlying sexual themes quickly became evident. While it frequently has been pointed out that traditional vampires cannot engage in “normal” sexual activity, the vampire is not necessarily asexual. Sexuality and the Vampire (pop culture)Įssential to understanding the appeal of the vampire is its sexual nature. Christopher Lee shows how to be a sexy vampire in Taste the Blood of Dracula. For example, it's possible to start as a Squishy Wizard and put all your skill points into Fighting, eventually turning them into a Magic Knight. skill customization: At any time, players can choose which skills they would like to favor over others, which means that every player is effectively multi-classing.The game will tell you the probability of success on almost all actions that involve random chance, and the player can examine any enemy to see what they can do in a fight and take appropriate precautions. In theory, a player who knows the game inside and out should still have no significant advantage over a new player - success should instead rely entirely on tactical skill. anti-spoilers: Crawl tries to give players as much information as they need to be able to make tactical decisions, to reduce any reliance on secrets or spoilers.Weapons and armor are indestructible and cannot be taken from you (although they can be temporarily degraded). A basic threat-level system will warn you when you're facing a dangerous enemy, so you can generally always see the danger coming, and there are many different ways to escape a dangerous encounter. Being killed without warning is almost unheard of - the game will always warn you if you're about to do something that may have adverse consequences. anti-frustration: Crawl tries to make cheap shots as rare as possible. ![]() (There's still a lot of dungeon, so you'll never be lacking in places to get experience - the question is whether you'll survive the attempt.)

Password entry is ALWAYS interactive when setting up the SSH connection. There is no mechanism for defining a plain text password. The various syntaxes are all documented on the man page. Lastly, LocalForward sets up a port forwarding rule that I send through the SSH tunnel. User is self explanatory and there just to be explicit, and the IdentityFile is the path to the Private Key file it uses to connect. Since serve is not necessarily a DNS name, I specify the Hostname that it should actually connect to (no, not actually mine). When running that, it loads all the properties listed until the next Host line. The Host line specifies the host tag you will use when invoking ssh. The second section is a host-specific configuration. The first three lines are global properties, they affect every SSH connection.

There are three bands which roughly correspond to low, mid and high frequencies in the music. This mode is more advanced than peak mode, but not necessarily better depending on the music you are listening to. This is great for dance and popular music where there is an obvious regular bass drum or, erm, beat! This mode scales quite well to large numbers of lights and is the recommended mode if you have over 6 lights in your room / group. Peak mode configures live disco to use a beat detection method based on the peak energy level detected in the input signal. There are two modes in which live disco can operate and the details of these are shown below. This has the added advantage that hueDynamic can orchestrate a light disco to anything you play on your Windows 10 device, including YouTube and Spotify. It is the only Windows 10 Hue app to use the native low-latency WASAPI sound API to ensures a responsive sound to light show.
