![]() ![]() With only USB-C ports and a headphone jack (and an Ethernet jack with the more expensive power supply), you're going to need a dock or dongles for other connections. Being able to detach and attach the power cord makes it even easier. Because this iMac is so slim and lightweight, it's easy to move this around your home. It magnetically pops right into place, and nothing needs to line up perfectly, so there's no struggle connecting it. It might sound silly, but one of my favorite features of the current design is the power cable. The iMac M3 is so thin it almost disappears when viewed from the side. However, since nothing has changed here, it also means there's no Face ID. The combination works well so you won't be embarrassed on FaceTime chats and Zoom meetings, at least not because of the image and audio quality. ![]() The built-in mics and full-HD webcam are both holdovers from the M1 iMac. The white screen bezel kind of diminishes the look, but it's also reminiscent of the original fruit- and jewel-colored iMacs. The back is otherwise a darker color than the rest. It comes in up to seven two-tone colors, with a lighter color under the display and for the stand and the large Apple logo on the back. Like the 2021 M1 model, the iMac M3 is amazingly thin and compact, and it weighs less than 10 pounds.

I want to assure you that a threat actor cannot use the old host keys to directly access your data on Bitbucket Cloud, or to access your private SSH keys. If we did not change the host keys it might have been possible in the future for a threat actor to potentially use the old host keys in combination with an already compromised network to trick clients into connecting to and trusting a malicious host. Though we believe the risk of compromise is low, by rotating the host keys proactively we are mitigating future risk should the old host keys be decrypted. Please review this blog and complete the applicable steps outlined below as soon as possible. ![]() In response, Bitbucket issued two new SSH host keys today and will be replacing the current host keys on June 20, 2023. The SSH protocol uses host keys to establish the identity of a trusted server for every SSH connection, like when a git pull establishes a SSH connection to Bitbucket Cloud. We recently learned that encrypted copies of Bitbucket’s SSH host keys were included in a data breach of a third-party credential management vendor. ![]() ![]() Spike traps and barbed wire fences are great for softening up zombies before they get to you.

![]() ![]() But Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul has publicly described Turkey’s new prisons as urgently needed to solve the problem of chronic overcrowding and help close scores of out-of-date facilities. For the first time last year, Turkey’s incarceration rate ranked highest among all 47 member states of the Council of Europe.Ī representative from Turkey’s justice ministry did not reply to multiple interview requests for this article. ![]() New prisons would allow Turkey’s government to further increase an inmate population that surged to nearly 300,000 in 2019 from 180,000 after the failed putsch. ![]() Yet a closer look reveals the unprecedented scale of its efforts, which include sprawling facilities rising in remote corners of the country, a plan to build one of the largest prison complexes in the world, and a massive overall increase in the government’s capacity to punish dissent. Turkey’s government has made no secret of its prison-building spree. The floorspace of prisons built after 2016 increased by an average of 50 percent when compared to the previous period, with photos published by the government and local media showing three-story prison blocks replacing two-story designs popular before the coup, and a measurement of new and old facilities via satellite imagery showing prison layouts also sprawling over larger areas of land. Prisons have grown in size as well as number. ![]() Toggle between images to show development between 21. Surrounding buildings are used for administration, staff lodging, and as minimum security prisons. Photos of prison sites feature multiple individual prisons, with maximum security buildings identified by outer walls and rows of identical interior courtyards. Over that period, 64 prisons were observed under construction via satellite imagery. The current rate of construction is more than double that in the four years before the failed coup-a time when mass arrests and political imprisonment in Turkey were already generating international alarm. Satellite imagery reveals construction on 131 prisons beginning between July 2016 and March 2021, with Turkish Ministry of Justice documents and press reports indicating nearly 100 additional facilities under consideration by Erdogan’s government. When he was taken in, Gergerlioglu joined a population of political prisoners in Turkey that has ballooned since the fateful night of July 15, 2016, when a failed military uprising against Erdogan killed hundreds, deeply traumatized Turkish society, and triggered a crackdown on opposition voices that continues at warp speed a half-decade later.Ī massive expansion of the country’s prison network is abetting that crackdown and its accompanying human rights abuses. Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu, a Turkish member of parliament for the left-wing Peoples’ Democratic Party, is surrounded by MPs applauding and brandishing placards after he was dismissed following a vote at the Turkish parliament in Ankara on March 17. “He was one of the last who dared share the stories of victims of abuse in prisons, in police custody, and anywhere else.” “His real crime was broadcasting reports of rights abuses in parliament,” his son said. “Suddenly he was gone, and we realized they hadn’t even let him put on his shoes.” Stripped of his parliamentary immunity in March, the 55-year-old lawmaker had been charged with “spreading terrorist propaganda” over a series of tweets from 2016 that criticized the government’s abandonment of peace talks with Kurdish insurgents. “It started politely, but soon we found ourselves screaming as the police dragged our father away,” Faruk’s son, Salih Gergerlioglu, told me in April. The police were waiting at his door, arrest warrant in hand. For years, he has been one of Turkey’s most outspoken human rights advocates, taking to the floor of parliament and social media with tales of abuse, torture, and midnight arrests at the hands of the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.īut just after midnight on April 2, Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu, a member of parliament for the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), found that it was his turn. ![]() ![]() ![]() The homeowners association needs a two-thirds supermajority to amend its bylaws.

The Canadian public is firmly opposed to fur farming, an attitude aligned with public sentiment towards this practice in many other jurisdictions.Ī 2022 public opinion survey found that three-quarters of Canadians would support a national ban on fur farming. If this initiative is successful, Canada would become one of the last remaining countries in the world with an active fur farm sector, with the U.S., Iceland, China and Russia for company. Nearly 20 countries have ended fur farming, and a citizen’s initiative to ban fur farming across the European Union is currently in front of the European Commission. Throughout the pandemic, several countries banned fur farming over concerns of the sector’s public health risks associated with COVID-19.īritish Columbia banned mink farming in 2021 over its threat to public health, becoming the first province in Canada to do so. Internationally, Canada will be known as one of the only (if not the only) country that is known to commercially farm wolves, bobcats and lynx for their fur.Ī recent review article examined the global fur farm sector and identified 15 different animal species being farmed for their fur in at least 19 countries the three aforementioned species were not named in this review.Ĭanada is on a shrinking list of countries where fur farming is legal and practised. This includes environmental pollution in Nova Scotia, animal cruelty in Quebec, threats to public health in British Columbia, and tens of millions of public dollars spent to keep the dying industry on life support. ![]() The discovery of these fur farms in the two prairie provinces adds to the Canadian fur farm industry’s already awful track record. While Ontario and Nova Scotia are the largest fur-producing provinces, both home to dozens of large industrial mink farms, Alberta and Saskatchewan are not typically known for fur production. Our research found that there is one lynx fur farm operating in Alberta, and five fur farms operating in Saskatchewan housing one or more of these species: wolves, bobcats, lynx and foxes. This shocking discovery sheds light on a dark industry operating in Canada, one that keeps wildlife captive so that their fur pelts can be sold abroad and used in luxury fashion fur products. ![]() |
