![]() Month 8 living with a Land Rover Discovery: a luxury chase carĪlex and the Disco helped immeasurably, meeting us every 20 miles or so. Other than the fuel bills (almost all over £100 now) I don’t mind a bit, and nothing has yet gone wrong.īy Ben Oliver Logbook: Land Rover Discovery Sd6 HSE Luxury The odometer tells the same story: I’ve been putting miles on this car at a prodigious rate – faster than any long-term test car I’ve had before, and at about twice the national average. Living on a farm, there isn’t much point cleaning the Disco, but subconsciously I think I prefer it dirty (stop it!) to communicate the fact that it doesn’t just get used on the school run. I have to admit that there’s still a lot of Scottish mud on the wheels despite being back in Sussex. I’ve just returned from Scotland, where I was shooting a story on the Discovery’s 30th anniversary, which you can read soon. I found little it couldn’t do, and I did more for having it. It carried seven, went to the tip and yes, saw regular and perhaps more typical action on the school run. It was also a wedding car and the team car on bike rides from Brighton to Stratford-on-Avon and overnight from London to Suffolk, among others. From Sussex it did a ski trip to the Alps, two journeys to the west coast of Ireland, one to Brittany and one to bounce over the heather of the Scottish Highlands with an original Disco for the story in this issue on the model’s 30th anniversary (see page 106). I certainly did more miles in it: nearly 17,000 in eight months, so around twice the national average. I feel like I did more in this car than in any long-term test car I’ve run before, not least because it encouraged me to. They did, and so convincingly that it won over at least some of the haters. Yes, the infotainment is off the pace, but the Disco’s size brings a capability and versatility which I suspected would prove their worth over a long test. Personally, I love the styling and the cabin layout. It’s also massive: a proper, old-school, upright, full-size SUV at a time when something more subtle is a lot more socially acceptable. There’s also the fact that the cabin of this car has swapped the slightly militaristic feel of the Disco 3 and 4 for an elegance which gets close to the Range Rover’s, but an infotainment system which doesn’t get close enough to the standards set by Audi and Mercedes. The haters are most obviously triggered by the asymmetric rear end, and secondly by the rear three-quarter view in general, which some find bulbous. And in an Instagram post, former colleague Chris Harris said Land Rover needed to earn his forgiveness for the Disco 5. A senior car industry figure – a member of our CAR Power List, no less – saw mine and asked me how driving one made me feel about myself. ![]() I should probably begin this goodbye by acknowledging the controversy around the fifth-generation Discovery. Combine all of this with class leading off road capability, thanks to independent air suspension and a twin-speed transfer box, and the Discovery presents itself as a true work-horse, ready for whatever life throws at you.► Ben Oliver is at the wheel Month 10 of our Land Rover Discovery long-term test: the SUV verdict is in The Disco has plenty of USB sockets to keep the whole family fully charged and rear entertainment specced on this car for good measure. ![]() This HSE Luxury spec level features many of the best optional extras as standard including the top of the line Meridian Sound System and 16-way memory Windsor leather front seats. The quality and layout of the interior is now much more akin to that of the modern-day Range Rovers, which is no bad thing, hosting a plethora of driver aids as standard. This huge spec example comes in the 7-seat configuration with electrically folding rear seats giving supreme people and luggage carrying capacity. ![]() Now sharing a platform with the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport the new ‘Disco’ has a much more modern look and feel to it, leaving the utilitarian approach of previous models behind. Now on it’s fifth generation this iteration of the Land Rover Discovery first went on sale in the UK at the beginning of 2017.

![]() The largest number were in Poland, followed by the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Chile. The malware was programmed to only infect visitors whose IP address showed they were from 104 specific organisations in 31 countries, according to Symantec. Symantec said the latest campaign was launched by infecting websites that intended victims were likely to visit, which is known as a "watering hole" attack. Government authorities declined comment on the incident.Īuthorities in Poland could not be reached for comment late on Wednesday. Poland's biggest bank lobbying group, ZBP, in February said the sector was targeted in a cyber attack, but did not provide further details. When executed, the compromised application functions normally, but covertly collects victim information and transmits it to the C2 servers. Backdooring prominent open-source programs is one of the means that the Lazarus group has been using to deliver its malware. Reuters has been unable to ascertain what happened in that attack. The payload has new features, including plug-in-based expanding capabilities. At the time, Symantec said it had "weak evidence" to blame Lazarus. The firm analysed the hacking campaign last month when news surfaced that Polish banks had been infected with malware. Symantec, which has one of the world's largest teams of malware researchers, regularly analyses emerging cyber threats to help can defend businesses, governments and consumers that use its security products. ![]() "This is a dangerous development," he said. Guido, who reviewed Symantec's finding, said that it was troubling to see a hacking group focus on attacking banks using increasingly sophisticated techniques. Photo Credit: Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.Lazarus has already been blamed for a string of hacks dating back to at least 2009, including last year's US$81 million (S$114 million) heist from Bangladesh's central bank, the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment that crippled its network for weeks and a long-running campaign against organisations in South Korea. You can find out more about the similarities that have been discovered over on the Symantec website. These earlier versions of WannaCry used stolen credentials to spread across infected networks, rather than leveraging the leaked EternalBlue exploit that caused WannaCry to spread quickly across the globe starting on May 12. Despite the links to Lazarus, the WannaCry attacks do not bear the hallmarks of a nation-state campaign but are more typical of a cybercrime campaign. Analysis of these early WannaCry attacks by Symantec’s Security Response Team revealed substantial commonalities in the tools, techniques, and infrastructure used by the attackers and those seen in previous Lazarus attacks, making it highly likely that Lazarus was behind the spread of WannaCry. This earlier version was almost identical to the version used in May 2017, with the only difference the method of propagation. Prior to the global outbreak on May 12, an earlier version of WannaCry (Ransom.Wannacry) was used in a small number of targeted attacks in February, March, and April. The attackers stole approximately 1.3 billion from a range of financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges. The team points to smaller-scale attacks earlier in the year which show clear links to Lazarus, as well as the reuse of code in the May attack which took the world by surprise. government has charged three men in relation to a string of financially motivated cyber attacks linked to the North Korean Lazarus (aka Appleworm) group. Researchers at Symantec found multiple instances of code reuse from earlier versions of WannaCry and Lazarus' previous attacks. ![]() But while the links to Lazarus are strong, North Korea denies that it was involved in any sort of state-sponsored attack, dismissing such claims as "a dirty and despicable smear campaign." It is thought that the group - also responsible for attacking Sony Pictures and stealing $81 million from the Bangladesh Central Bank - operated independently for personal gain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Take a look at the healing properties of the Tiger Eye gemstone… Physical Healing Propertiesīrimming with vitality and ever ready to pull someone out of a slump, Tiger’s Eye is an amazing fortifier of the blood and exceptional at balancing out the endocrine system. Instead of hiding away, Tiger’s Eye is all about bringing beautiful self-confidence to the surface. ![]() More than just a pretty face, the Tigers Eye serves as a reminder to harness inner strength, to stand a little taller, and to stop sabotaging the self because all the light and love that is needed is already stashed inside. It nudges people to accept all angles of themselves from playful pose to predator and protector, because life is unpredictable and personal strength is needed to flourish.Ĭonnected to both the root and the sacral chakra, the Tiger Eye stone comes with a glut of glorious healing properties and benefits that help to balance physical and emotional wellbeing in one straight swoop. The spirit of the tiger is a reminder of the importance of primal instincts and accepting the shadow self to slink out of the jungle and stand in the light. The tiger is the true queen of the jungle: strong, courageous, and ever ready to pounce. The origins of the gemstone's name are no accident and go further than a simple reference to a color scheme. It was also used as a protective amulet on the breastplates of roman soldiers in battle. The stories behind Tiger’s Eye says that the Egyptians fell hard for the iridescent rays of the Tiger Eye Stone, they believed that it expressed divine vision and would even use it as a stone to represent the eyes when creating great deities. In the 16 th century, Tigers Eye was so rare it was considered to be an element so precious, its worth was so much higher than gold. It is formed by altering crocidolite, maintains its mineral rich moods, and takes its golden orb color scheme from iron oxide. But beyond the powers of protection, the Tiger Eye comes with a whole host of healing properties.įrom the big cat lands of South Africa, the spice islands and tumbling tea plantations of India, and the arid endless outback of Western Australia, Tiger’s Eye is mined in places where heat, dry air and a sense of wilderness runs rampant. It was said to ward off curses and to keep the wearer safe from ill-wishes. Traditionally the Tiger Eye Gemstone was carried as a protective amulet against the forces of evil. Colored with golden bands, flecks of sand, and smudges of inky black and brown – there’s no disputing the wild force and energy that can be found in this stone. Nicknamed The Shapeshifter, the earthly rich and curious gemstone of Tiger’s Eye invites the wearer to embrace their inner-strength, personal willpower, and to call on the powers of protection. The power and courage of the queen of the jungle.Once considered more precious than gold. ![]() ![]() ![]() But, then, you could argue that about high-resolution displays on any device: We got along fine without them, and they’re not necessary, but life is sure nicer now that we’ve got them. Is a Retina display absolutely necessary in life? There are very few people who need this many pixels-designers and photographers come to mind. ![]() “How did we live like this?,” you’ll cry out to no one. ![]() It looks good, but feels subtle-until you turn back to a non-Retina Mac display and are confronted with the brutal reality of a low-DPI screen. A close-up photo composite of Bryan Bell’s BBEdit icon on the Retina 5K iMac (left) and a non-retina display. Even the Dock is more pleasant, because the icons that inhabit it are subtly detailed in ways they weren’t before. Photos look real, like they were printed on paper. If you’ve seen the Retina MacBook Pro, you’ve seen what the Mac interface looks like when four pixels are doing the work that only one used to do. In the end, Apple’s definition of Retina-that from a normal distance you can’t see the dots-definitely applies. While the Retina iMac (like the Retina MacBook Pro before it) doesn’t offer quite as high a pixel density as iOS devices, neither do you hold either of these devices in your hand and up to your face at close range. If you’ve been through the Retina transition on the iPad or iPhone, you know how much nicer a screen is when you can’t see the pixels at all. If the buzzwords don’t do it for you, then let me say again: It’s beautiful. A photo alignment process to improve on-axis contrast, and a compensation film for off-axis contrast. Power-saving LED backlighting to reduce power consumption. Organic passivation tech from the retina iPad line in order to reduce cross-talk between pixels. Oxide TFT technology to help brightness uniformity and refresh rates. A timing controller that combines two streams of DisplayPort 1.2 on a single chip. This is a legitimately gorgeous screen, one powered by a panoply of display technologies. But the attraction here is the crazy screen, a 27-inch display with four times the pixels of the 27-inch standard iMac. Yes, many of its other specs are better than the rest of the iMac line, last updated in June. Look, the reason you’ll buy the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K Display (hereinafter, “Retina iMac”) is because of the screen. It’s enough to make people who fully expected to buy a Mac mini or Mac Pro switch sides and pledge allegiance to iMac Nation. You can’t buy a Mac Pro for less than $3,000, and after ignoring the Mac mini for two years, the latest update drops support for quad-core processors, making it more of a low-end model than ever before.Īnd now here comes the clincher: A new top-of-the-line 27-inch iMac that’s not just fast, but sports a gorgeous Retina display that brings nearly 15 million pixels to the party. When it was first announced in 1998, and for most of the years that followed, the name iMac represented Apple’s affordable all-in-one “computer for the rest of us.” The iMac was never the kind of Mac a self-respecting Apple nerd would use-for them there were Power Macs and Macs Pro, PowerBooks and MacBooks Pro.īut over the last few years, Apple has been slowly pushing its other Mac desktop models into corners.

![]() ![]() Plenty of room for a 280/360 radiator in the front, but while the top mounts are offset, the case isn't the widest so a 280 radiator up top may be incompatible with tall memory modules on certain boards. Looking beyond the default setup, there's room for up to three 120s or two 140s in the front, and two 120/140s in the roof. In terms of cooling, all variants of the 4000D are supplied with a pair of three-pin fans as standard, a 120mm front intake and a rear 120mm exhaust. To help keep dust at bay, a filter beneath the PSU pulls out from the rear of the case, there's a full-length filter easily accessible behind the front fascia, while the top mesh filter is magnetically secured. Our own be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 proved a tight squeeze with the hard-disk cage in situ, but this can be removed if need be. Graphics cards can measure up to 360mm in length (ample room for the imminent RTX 3090), there's 170mm of clearance for a CPU cooler, and your PSU can measure up to 180mm. The splashes of colour are inevitably an acquired taste, but I quite like them they're discrete enough not to spoil the overall aesthetic while giving the case a little something different. You get yellow bands on the rear thumbscrews, a small yellow square on the internal cable cover, a yellow tab on the top mesh lining, and a yellow USB Type-A port. Corsair's paintwork is particularly dark and moody, and the effect is heightened by a heavily tinted side panel and a few bright-yellow elements splattered throughout. It's handy to have the option, though wouldn't it have been nice if Corsair included both the solid and mesh fascias in the same box?Īs for the colour choices, we haven't yet had the opportunity to see the white model in the flesh, but we can say that the black variant looks suitably smart. Whereas the regular case comes equipped with a solid steel fascia that clips neatly onto the front panel, our 4000D Airflow review sample sets itself apart by incorporating a mesh fascia designed to pull in more air. There are black and white colour options, and each is available in an optional Airflow configuration (pictured). ![]() What's interesting is that the case comes in a choice of four flavours. ![]() From the outside, the 453mm x 230mm x 466mm frame is a decent size for a mid-tower enclosure in 2020, and given the price point, Corsair's build quality is solid throughout, with no obvious squeaks or rattles to the frame, and a full-size windowed panel that makes the chassis appear more expensive than it is. We've seen plenty of activity in the sub-£100 space in recent months, and the 4000D does as good a job as any at balancing clean aesthetics, modern features and few frills. Key to that proposition is the £80 price tag, making this an affordable mid-tower solution that looks the part without putting a serious dent in the overall budget. For today's review, we'll simplify matters by stating that the new 4000D is a solid, no-nonsense option for a sleek, modern build. The firm's chassis portfolio has grown to such proportions that it can be difficult to differentiate between all the various product lines and model numbers. Corsair continues to roll out PC hardware at a feverish pace. ![]() ![]() ![]() The high bidder pays the Bank the amount of the bid in cash and receives the Title Deed card for that property.Īny player, including the one who declined the option to buy it at the printed price, may bid. ![]() If you do not wish to buy the property, the Bank sells it at through an auction to the highest bidder.
