If you run into any other blockers, feel free to list them in the comments below. Test first to see if it works and if it does not, then you might need to work with your 802.1x team. Something else that may or may not block WoL (again – depending on how it is configured), is 802.1x. If you have an out dated pre-boot authentication mechanism in place (legacy 3rd party disk encryption products use ‘cached’ credentials as a method of ‘unlocking’ the disk so that it can boot into Windows), then this will likely prevent a successful WoL, as the system will never boot up to Windows. Lastly, there are some other considerations to account for that may impact the ability to perform a successful WoL. There could be other settings that might conflict with WoL success but in testing with the latest set of drivers I did not experience any issues (even though Energy Efficient Ethernet and Ultra Low Power Mode were set to Enabled). Out of the box Windows drivers may or may not have this setting at all and therefore, I do not recommend using the out of the box Windows drivers for the network card. If you are using the manufacturer’s NIC card driver, then most of the time the Wake on Magic Packet setting will be Enabled by default. In addition to these NIC card settings, there are a few other settings that need to be enabled. On the Power Management tab of the network adapter card properties, you will now see all three check boxes enabled for clients that have this policy applied: This setting will automatically configure one of the NIC card settings that need to be enabled (that we previously had to script).

New starter installed New starter cost about $50. The old starter is OK, so I keep it in my parts box, just in case. Put the new starter up, bolt it down and reconnect it in the reverse order. The starter is held on with 3 bolts, one is hidden up behind the starter. I then wrapped it in a piece of plastic to keep it from shorting against anything. Instead, I was very careful when removing the power cable from the starter. When I replaced the starter on my Mirada at the RV Park, I didn’t want to remove shore power, so I didn’t remove the battery cables. When I replaced the starter on the Southwind in my driveway, I disconnected shore power, then removed the PLUS cable from the chassis battery to make sure no power was on the motorhome or the starter cable. $60, Rock Auto This is piece of mind that I should be good for years to come.

I'm not sure how to probe for downloads, but I think the others can be probed. The aspects of private browsing are (at least in Firefox): history, form/search entries, passwords, downloads, cookies, cache, DOM storage. I'm specifying that the user has an account, because this strategy relies on tracking various bits of behavior data. Let's assume you operate a web application, and you want to detect when one of your users (with an account) switches to private browsing. As Sonny Ordell mentioned, I'm also not sure that you can distinguish private browsing from the ad hoc use of various privace-enhancing features (e.g. As indicated in my comment on the question, whether this is good enough or fits your application depends on what you want to be able to do in reaction to detecting private browsing. I'm not sure you could reliably detect private browsing, but I think you may be able to apply some heuristics to make a good guess that a user is using various privacy-enhancing features. Please see one of the good current answers below 1 2 for more up to date information. Today the answer is an unequivocal YES - as of this writing in 2020 there are reliable techniques in wide use and have been for a while. So, can anyone provide any more recent information about whether there's a way for a website to test whether its visitors are using private browsing mode? It is also possible that this might not work at all. It is possible this might yield a partial leak of information, I suppose, but it sounds unreliable at best - if it even works. However, if the user isn't logged into other services, then I guess all we can say is that we don't know whether private browsing mode is in use. If the user is currently logged into other services (like Facebook), a website could plausibly guess that the user is not currently using private browsing mode - this is not a sure thing, but perhaps one could make some kind of probabilistic inference. There may be ways for a website you're visiting to learn whether you are currently logged into other sites (think: Facebook). (I realize the defenses against history sniffing are not perfect, but they may be good enough for these purposes.) (In private browsing mode, sites are not added to the history, so you can use history sniffing to check whether the visitor is in private browsing mode.) Since then, though, modern browsers have incorporated defenses against CSS history sniffing attacks.Ĭonsequently, I would not expect that method of detecting whether the browser is in private browsing mode to be successful any longer. Unfortunately, it doesn't really answer the question above.Ī 2010 study of private browsing mode showed that it is possible for web sites to detect whether the browser is in private browsing mode, by using a CSS history sniffing attack. Here's what I've been able to find related to this question. In modern browsers, can a web site detect whether a user who is visiting the web site has private browsing mode enabled or not? When a menu pops up, right-click on the words “Microsoft Edge,” then select “Properties.Most modern browsers support " private browsing mode" (also known in Chrome as "Incognito mode"), where the browser does not save any information to disk about your browsing while in this mode. For example, if you have the Edge icon pinned to your taskbar, right-click on it. It may be on the Start Menu, the Desktop, or on your taskbar. While that may seem intimidating, it’s not as hard as it sounds.įirst, find the shortcut you use to launch Edge. To launch Edge already in InPrivate mode, we need to change a command-line option in a shortcut that launches Edge.

As such, you only need to use Scavenge when the disk’s directory is fine, but you suspect that there’s data missing. Note that the technique used in Scavenge is the same as that used in Rebuild it’s just that all of the directory is examined. In Scavenge mode, DiskWarrior will look at the entire directory structure, not just those portions that are damaged. If you hold down the Option key in DiskWarrior’s window, the Rebuild button changes to read Scavenge. This is where DiskWarrior’s Scavenge mode comes into play. But it’s also possible that the repaired directory structure may not find all your stuff-so you’ve now got an apparently healthy directory, but you’re confident there are some files and folders missing. It’s possible that the other tools were able to repair the directory damage, leaving no damage for DiskWarrior to find. Just what cases, you ask?Īssume you have some other disk repair tools in your machine’s first aid kit, and you tried some of them before running DiskWarrior. But in some cases, you might want DiskWarrior to go ahead and scan the apparently-healthy directory information as well. This makes sense, for if a given portion of the directory isn’t damaged, then there’s no need to repair it. Needless to say, DiskWarrior is a key product in my Mac’s first aid kit.ĭiskWarrior normally scans directories, focusing its attention only on damaged portions of the directory structure. DiskWarrior ( October 2003) would then come to the rescue, rebuilding the damaged directory structure and returning the drive to a usable state-almost always without any data loss. In my particular case, I had a bad FireWire hub (unbeknownst to me) that was causing my FireWire drives to routinely go into never-never land. Many people, myself included, rely on DiskWarrior to fix drives that have otherwise become unusable. Here's some stuff on DiskWarriors "scavenge" feature: I've used data rescue with pretty good results, other than the generic file names. ![]() There's a hidden data recovery feature in DiskWarrior. we'll see how it turns out, but in the mean time.

The answer is "Yes." However, the good people at the Apple Genius Bar OVERWROTE it trying to make a copy of the failing drive onto the the external drive that contained the backup. I was looking at Data Rescue 3 and Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery ( v 4.0 ).Īnd to pre-empt questions of. When Diskwarrior initially repaired the drive it indicated about 1000 files with damaged resource attributes (which it said it fixed!)

Many sexually fluid people exist as well, and some may identify as bisexual or pansexual others choose not to label their sexualities. There are some gender identities that are fluid, for example, people who identify as genderfluid or genderflux may experience their gender as fluctuating between a variety of identities and expressions. However, if a choice is based in fear, condemnation, conditional love, or control, it is more likely to have negative consequences for one’s mental health. If a major life choice is based in healthy beliefs and an alignment with one’s sense of self, inner purpose, and identity, it can be a good choice. ![]() ![]() A person who chooses not to come out or disclose their identity is not straight or cisgender by default. A person who chooses to be celibate is not, therefore, asexual. The key difference is that a choice to be abstinent or celibate is not the same thing as fundamentally changing one’s identity. And there are times when people make choices such as abstaining from sex before marriage, or commitments that require celibacy, like certain priesthoods. You can be attracted to someone, but never ask them out, for instance. LGBTQ people exist whether they are allowed to live authentically or not.īut you generally can choose whether to take a particular action, right? Of course. So the answer is simple: No, you cannot choose your sexual and romantic orientation or your gender identity and it is also not able to be changed. Whether you wear a tux or a dress may influence how people interpret your gender (and it may bring joy or embarrassment), but clothing alone cannot change your inner sense of gender identity or who you’re attracted to. There are some things about ourselves we can change, that is, “to transform or convert.” You can change how you express your gender, such as choosing to wear something traditionally coded as masculine, like a tuxedo, or choosing to wear something traditionally coded as feminine, such as a dress. Sexual orientation and gender identity are not a choice, but whether we accept or like our identity is a different issue. While we can choose how we respond, we ultimately don’t have much power over how we innately feel. It is that age-old tension between fate and free will, between what life gives us and what we do with it. Can you choose or change your identity?Ī choice is defined as “the right, power, or opportunity to choose.” Humans dislike the idea that there are things about ourselves that we don’t have the power to choose. Just as it’s important to learn why words like commit shouldn’t be used in conversations around suicide, learning how words such as choice, change, and convert can be used to harm LGBTQ people is important to being an advocate for mental health and an ally to LGBTQ people. It’s also an ideal time to raise awareness for how LGBTQ youth are at a higher risk for poor mental health outcomes and suicidality-not because of something intrinsic to being LGBTQ, but rather because of the increased experiences of victimization and discrimination as well as traumatic practices they may be subjected to, including conversion therapy. ![]() During this time, it’s critical to destigmatize conversations around mental health. Mental Illness Awareness Week starts on October 4, culminating with World Mental Health Day on October 10. The constant challenge is taking responsibility for what we can influence-and acknowledging what we cannot.īut for LGBTQ people, words like choice and change-which seemingly imply power and possibility-have actually been weaponized throughout a painful history of criminalization, abuse, and harm inflicted on people for simply being who they are. There are many things in life that we can choose or change, such as how we decide to express ourselves, the relationships we commit to, or the dreams we pursue.Īnd then there are things in life that happen to us whether or not we want them to: our genetic makeup, the environment we are raised in, and the opportunities that are available to us, as a few examples. No matter your sexual orientation or gender identity, all people have something in common. ![]() |
