Has the Trash can icon changed in Mountain Lion? I know the Dock has different perspective/reflections, but the icon itself looks different. It also doesn't seem to get "fat" anymore when you add things into it.

How come can I visit my user folders on my Lion partition, when I?m in Mountain Lion, without having to enter ANY password ? Security issue much ???

..

Like with any operating system ever made?

Try plugging NTFS drives into a Linux, behold - you can traverse the directory structure at will. Same for OSX, Linux, BSD (HFS/Ext3/4/BFS/XFS et al) - same for every filesystem ever made that isn't encrypted.

That's why your OS of choice has an option to encrypt the contents, for Windows there's Bitlocker, for OS X there's Filevault and Linux offers various encryption techniques and for universal compatibility TrueCrypt offers super tight encryption.

New update for DP via App Store - 1.08Gb - downloading now.

Edit: feels a bit faster if that could be possible :)

It probably fixes that Safari bug when you type in letters it didn't like :rofl:, along with other minor fixes.

Just applied the update, didn't actually know what it changed or fixed but whatever :p

I do really like the Mountain Lion DP so far, no compatibility issues with any of the software I use, really like the new notification system and it was also an excuse to wipe my old Lion install which was slowly grinding to a halt.

Also introduced me to the new Safari, which I quite like too :)

The only thing I liked in the older DP's that isn't in this one is how the Notification Center icon would turn blue, indicating you have new/unread notifications. I'd like to see that brought back for the GM.

Anyone have a guess as to why Apple isn't releasing Facebook integration with Mountain Lion's initial release? Why have it in these DPs, but not in the final release?

Could that be a Facebook request, to launch this integration both on iOS and in Mountain Lion at the same time?

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
