Man do I love being a fix-it-up chappy.

I've been using this old PA. It's pretty cool. A Kustom Profile System 2 from the late seventies. 5 channels, 150W a side, built in effects. It belongs to a guy named Jazzy P. He paid $400 for it way back when. I don't know if I could use it with #GreyWails but for acoustic and solo stuff it's really great.

I fixed the effects a while back. There's a separate digital module that had bad contact to the main board. DeOxit is magic, did I ever tell you that?

I noticed something was rattling around in one of the speakers. What the hell?

So I took the connector panel off the back and found that the choke for the horn had fallen off the board. One of the wire ends had never been soldered. No indication at all that it had ever come through the back side of the board and the whole tinned end was still there. A bunch of the magnet wire had come unrolled from the spindle, wrapped around some speaker wires and unplugged both wires from the horn.

Re-wrap the choke, remove the old solder, solder the loose end, RTV the choke to the board. Put it back together.

Never noticed the horn wasn't working. I guess there was enough high end to cover for it from the other speaker.

Kustom Profile system 2. The Amp/Mixer is vertically oriented, channel inputs on the bottom with a bunch of knobs above. Speakers each have two eight inch round speakers and a small tweeter horn. The whole thing is gray, super neutral in color.

Tagesschau: Ärzte ohne Grenzen - Scharfe Kritik an Gaza-Hilfe - "getarntes Massaker"


Immer wieder gibt es Berichte über Schüsse nahe den Verteilzentren der privaten GHF-Stiftung im Gazastreifen. Die UN gehen von Hunderten Toten aus. Mit harten Worten fordern Hilfsorganisationen die Rückkehr zum alten System der Verteilung.

Die von den USA unterstützte Privatstiftung "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" (GHF), die im Gazastreifen Verteilzentren für Hilfsgüter betreibt, ist höchst umstritten. Immer wieder werden Palästinenser, die zu den Zentren kommen, um Lebensmittel zu erhalten, erschossen. Die Hilfsorganisation Ärzte ohne Grenzen (MSF) wirft der GHF deshalb vor, Hilfsbedürftige in "Todesfallen" zu locken. Sie forderte ein Ende der umstrittenen Hilfsmaßnahmen... (weiter)

Trotz #Kritik weht zum #ChristopherStreetDay keine #Regenbogenflagge auf dem #Reichstag.


siehe: tagesschau.de/inland/innenpoli…

Dass in #München zum Christopher Street Day die Regenbogenflagge über der #Staatskanzlei wehte, kommentierte #Klöckner mit den Worten: "Ich bin Präsidentin des Deutschen #Bundestags und nicht der bayrischen Staatskanzlei."
Carola Ebhardt: Das ist eine fatale Entscheidung, denn sie hat weitreichende symbolische und gesellschaftlich-politische Konsequenzen. Das #Verbot, die Regenbogenflagge auf dem Sitz des Bundestags zu hissen, bedeutet, dass sich der Staat nicht mehr öffentlich sichtbar an die Seite diskriminierter Menschen und Minderheiten stellt. Die Regenbogenflagge ist ein Symbol für die Einhaltung von Menschenrechten. Das wird mit dieser Entscheidung fast schon mit Füßen getreten. Hinzu kommt noch, dass den Bundestagsbediensteten untersagt wurde, offiziell mit einer Gruppe am #CSD teilzunehmen. All das schwächt den Kampf gegen #Diskriminierung total – und das in einer Zeit, in der die Angriffe gegen #Minderheiten stark zunehmen.

Senator Chides FBI for Weak Advice on Mobile Security


https://friendica.eskimo.com/photo/preview/1024/7841561

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) briefed Capitol Hill staff recently on hardening the security of their mobile devices, after a contacts list stolen from the personal phone of the White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was reportedly used to fuel a series of text messages and phone calls impersonating her to U.S. lawmakers. But in a letter this week to the FBI, one of the Senate’s most tech-savvy lawmakers says the feds aren’t doing enough to recommend more appropriate security protections that are already built into most consumer mobile devices.

A screenshot of the first page from Sen. Wyden’s letter to FBI Director Kash Patel.

On May 29, The Wall Street Journal reported that federal authorities were investigating a clandestine effort to impersonate Ms. Wiles via text messages and in phone calls that may have used AI to spoof her voice. According to The Journal, Wiles told associates her cellphone contacts were hacked, giving the impersonator access to the private phone numbers of some of the country’s most influential people.

The execution of this phishing and impersonation campaign — whatever its goals may have been — suggested the attackers were financially motivated, and not particularly sophisticated.

“It became clear to some of the lawmakers that the requests were suspicious when the impersonator began asking questions about Trump that Wiles should have known the answers to—and in one case, when the impersonator asked for a cash transfer, some of the people said,” the Journal wrote. “In many cases, the impersonator’s grammar was broken and the messages were more formal than the way Wiles typically communicates, people who have received the messages said. The calls and text messages also didn’t come from Wiles’s phone number.”

Sophisticated or not, the impersonation campaign was soon punctuated by the murder of Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the shooting of Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. So when FBI agents offered in mid-June to brief U.S. Senate staff on mobile threats, more than 140 staffers took them up on that invitation (a remarkably high number considering that no food was offered at the event).

But according to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the advice the FBI provided to Senate staffers was largely limited to remedial tips, such as not clicking on suspicious links or attachments, not using public wifi networks, turning off bluetooth, keeping phone software up to date, and rebooting regularly.

“This is insufficient to protect Senate employees and other high-value targets against foreign spies using advanced cyber tools,” Wyden wrote in a letter sent today to FBI Director Kash Patel. “Well-funded foreign intelligence agencies do not have to rely on phishing messages and malicious attachments to infect unsuspecting victims with spyware. Cyber mercenary companies sell their government customers advanced ‘zero-click’ capabilities to deliver spyware that do not require any action by the victim.”

Wyden stressed that to help counter sophisticated attacks, the FBI should be encouraging lawmakers and their staff to enable anti-spyware defenses that are built into Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android phone software.

These include Apple’s Lockdown Mode, which is designed for users who are worried they may be subject to targeted attacks. Lockdown Mode restricts non-essential iOS features to reduce the device’s overall attack surface. Google Android devices carry a similar feature called Advanced Protection Mode.

Wyden also urged the FBI to update its training to recommend a number of other steps that people can take to make their mobile devices less trackable, including the use of ad blockers to guard against malicious advertisements, disabling ad tracking IDs in mobile devices, and opting out of commercial data brokers (the suspect charged in the Minnesota shootings reportedly used multiple people-search services to find the home addresses of his targets).

The senator’s letter notes that while the FBI has recommended all of the above precautions in various advisories issued over the years, the advice the agency is giving now to the nation’s leaders needs to be more comprehensive, actionable and urgent.

“In spite of the seriousness of the threat, the FBI has yet to provide effective defensive guidance,” Wyden said.

Nicholas Weaver **is a researcher with the **International Computer Science Institute, a nonprofit in Berkeley, Calif. Weaver said Lockdown Mode or Advanced Protection will mitigate many vulnerabilities, and should be the default setting for all members of Congress and their staff.

“Lawmakers are at exceptional risk and need to be exceptionally protected,” Weaver said. “Their computers should be locked down and well administered, etc. And the same applies to staffers.”

Weaver noted that Apple’s Lockdown Mode has a track record of blocking zero-day attacks on iOS applications; in September 2023, Citizen Lab documented how Lockdown Mode foiled a zero-click flaw capable of installing spyware on iOS devices without any interaction from the victim.

Earlier this month, Citizen Lab researchers documented a zero-click attack used to infect the iOS devices of two journalists with Paragon’s Graphite spyware. The vulnerability could be exploited merely by sending the target a booby-trapped media file delivered via iMessage. Apple also recently updated its advisory for the zero-click flaw (CVE-2025-43200), noting that it was mitigated as of iOS 18.3.1, which was released in February 2025.

Apple has not commented on whether CVE-2025-43200 could be exploited on devices with Lockdown Mode turned on. But HelpNetSecurity observed that at the same time Apple addressed CVE-2025-43200 back in February, the company fixed another vulnerability flagged by Citizen Lab researcher Bill Marczak: CVE-2025-24200, which Apple said was used in an extremely sophisticated physical attack against specific targeted individuals that allowed attackers to disable USB Restricted Mode on a locked device.

In other words, the flaw could apparently be exploited only if the attacker had physical access to the targeted vulnerable device. And as the old infosec industry adage goes, if an adversary has physical access to your device, it’s most likely not your device anymore.

I can’t speak to Google’s Advanced Protection Mode personally, because I don’t use Google or Android devices. But I have had Apple’s Lockdown Mode enabled on all of my Apple devices since it was first made available in September 2022. I can only think of a single occasion when one of my apps failed to work properly with Lockdown Mode turned on, and in that case I was able to add a temporary exception for that app in Lockdown Mode’s settings.

My main gripe with Lockdown Mode was captured in a March 2025 column by TechCrunch’s Lorenzo Francheschi-Bicchierai, who wrote about its penchant for periodically sending mystifying notifications that someone has been blocked from contacting you, even though nothing then prevents you from contacting that person directly. This has happened to me at least twice, and in both cases the person in question was already an approved contact, and said they had not attempted to reach out.

Although it would be nice if Apple’s Lockdown Mode sent fewer, less alarming and more informative alerts, the occasional baffling warning message is hardly enough to make me turn it off.

Today in Labor History June 30, 1906: United States Congress passes the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act in response to Upton Sinclair's novel, “The Jungle,” which exposed atrocious sanitary conditions in Chicago meat packing industry. Sinclair intended his book not only to bring attention to the public health threat of the squalid working conditions, but also to the racism faced by Chicago’s largely immigrant meat workers, as well as the corruption of both the politicians and union officials. However, the public was most outraged by the prospect of getting food poisoning from the rotten meat.

Mastering Singapore’s Crystal Wholesale Market

Singapore’s crystal market is thriving, with retailers, collectors, and spiritual enthusiasts fueling demand for premium gemstones used in jewelry, decor, and spiritual practices. Partnering with a meteorite wholesaler Singapore or a trusted crystals supplier provides access to high-quality stones like moldavite crystal at competitive prices, enabling businesses to stand out in this dynamic industry. Success requires leveraging insider strategies to source authentic gems, negotiate favorable deals, and build a strong reputation. This comprehensive guide explores expert techniques to navigate the wholesale crystal market, offering actionable insights to ensure your business excels in Singapore’s vibrant gemstone industry.

1. Moldavite: A Cosmic Gem Explained


For those wondering what moldavite is, this green tektite, formed from a meteorite impact millions of years ago, is celebrated for its cosmic origins, vibrant energy, and spiritual significance. Often misspelled as moldivite or moldovite, moldavite’s unique properties and rarity make it a top choice for collectors, jewelers, and wellness enthusiasts. Sourcing from a wholesale supplier in Singapore ensures you offer authentic moldavite crystal that meets high standards, appealing to customers seeking rare and meaningful gemstones.

A reputable crystals supplier can provide in-depth knowledge about moldavite’s spiritual and aesthetic appeal, enabling you to market it effectively to your audience. By understanding its significance, you can position your business as a leading source for this sought-after stone in Singapore’s competitive market. Suppliers with expertise in moldavite often maintain direct connections to authentic sources, ensuring consistent quality and reliability for your inventory, which is crucial for building customer trust.

2. Tracing Moldavite’s Origins


Understanding where moldavite comes from is critical for verifying authenticity and fostering customer confidence. Moldavite originates primarily from the Czech Republic, where a meteorite strike millions of years ago created its distinctive glassy composition. A trusted natural stone supplier in Singapore will provide detailed documentation to confirm the stone’s origin, ensuring it’s not synthetic or misrepresented, which is essential for maintaining credibility in the market.

This transparency allows you to market moldavite crystal as a premium product with a compelling narrative that resonates with buyers. By partnering with a wholesale supplier in Singapore that prioritizes traceable sourcing, you can cater to discerning customers who value authenticity and quality. This approach not only enhances customer trust but also positions your business as a trusted leader in Singapore’s dynamic crystal industry.

3. Strategic Sourcing for Cost Efficiency


Bulk purchasing is a proven strategy for securing cost-effective deals on high-value stones. Many meteorite wholesalers Singapore offer unadvertised discounts for larger orders, significantly reducing costs for gems like moldavite crystal. By committing to higher volumes, you can negotiate favorable rates with a wholesale supplier in Singapore, ensuring a reliable supply while keeping expenses manageable. This approach is ideal for retailers aiming to maintain robust inventory levels without compromising profitability.

Mastering Singapore’s Crystal Wholesale Market

Another effective tactic is to inquire about unlisted inventory. Top crystal suppliers often hold exclusive or limited-edition stones, such as rare meteorites or high-grade moldavite, that aren’t publicly listed. A reputable meteorite wholesaler Singapore, may provide access to these hidden gems, allowing you to offer distinctive products that set your business apart. In Singapore’s competitive market, offering rare gemstones can attract customers seeking one-of-a-kind pieces, boosting your brand’s appeal and market presence.

4. Ensuring Quality and Ethical Standards


Quality assurance is paramount when sourcing crystals, especially for high-demand stones like moldavite. Requesting samples from your crystals supplier allows you to assess clarity, color, and authenticity before committing to large orders, preventing issues with counterfeit or low-quality stones. A trusted natural stone supplier in Singapore will readily provide samples to demonstrate their commitment to quality, ensuring customer satisfaction and protecting your business’s reputation.

Ethical sourcing is increasingly important, as consumers prioritize sustainability and fair practices. A reputable meteorite wholesaler Singapore will adhere to fair trade and sustainable mining standards, providing transparency about their sourcing methods. For moldavite crystal, verifying ethical origins enhances its marketability, appealing to eco-conscious buyers. Aligning with suppliers who uphold these values strengthens your brand’s credibility and appeal in Singapore’s growing crystal market.

5. Building Relationships and Trend Awareness


Forging a strong relationship with your wholesale supplier in Singapore can yield significant long-term benefits. Consistent orders, timely payments, and open communication foster loyalty, often resulting in exclusive perks like early access to new inventory or discounts on moldavite price per gram. Negotiating with suppliers can also secure flexible payment terms, particularly for repeat customers sourcing high-value stones like meteorites or moldavite, enhancing your business’s financial flexibility.

Staying ahead of market trends is critical for maintaining a competitive edge. The demand for moldavite crystal has surged due to its spiritual significance and aesthetic appeal, driven by trends in healing practices, feng shui, and home decor. By monitoring these trends and sourcing trending stones early, you can stock up before prices rise. A proactive meteorite wholesaler Singapore may share insights on emerging trends, helping you position your business as a market leader in Singapore’s vibrant crystal industry.

Success in Singapore’s crystal wholesale market demands strategic sourcing, rigorous quality checks, and strong supplier relationships. By leveraging bulk discounts, ensuring ethical practices, and staying trend-savvy, you can secure premium gemstones at competitive prices. Whether partnering with a meteorite wholesaler Singapore or exploring moldavite price per gram, these strategies will empower your business to thrive. Start applying these insights today to meet the rising demand for authentic crystals in Singapore.

It literally blows my mind. Idk how you can look at a guy who's thing is "maybe we shouldn't be so fat and on drugs" and the response from half the country is just mass hysteria.
