Apple-Special-Event-September-2017.jpg

Apple is set to hold its first event at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park today, September 12, 2017.

With the recent leaks, one can only wonder if Apple would have any surprises at all. According to an Apple employee who is definitely not Phil Schiller (@pschiller), *wink-wink*, there is one definite surprise for the event. There are some who call it a “preview”.

Apple will be streaming the event live at Apple.com and Apple TV.

 

Dreamhost is under DDoS Attack

Dreamhost-under-DDoS-20170824.png

NOTE:
Earlier, we were unable to published the post here because at its current incarnation, 37prime is hosted by Dreamhost. We posted one at our WordPress.com-hosted blog.

From @Dreamhost:

“Our engineers have identified the cause of the DNS degradation as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. dreamhoststatus.com

Dreamhost is currently in the news as the Department of Justice “demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 million visitor IP addresses” for a site hosted by the company.

Wordfence chimed in:

The DDoS appears to be unrelated to the DoJ request above. It looks like it may be an Anonymous attack targeting the Dreamhost DNS to try to take a white supremacist website called ‘punishedstormer dot com’ offline. The website came online today and is hosted at Dreamhost.

We will closely follow this news.

GOT 7.2?

It is a definitely different Sunday compared to a week ago, but… horse sh………. (go rewatch “Dragonstone” if you need the reference).

…but one thing is the same; Game of Thrones Season 7.

We had productive week and an an interesting Sunday. New builds of beta softwares from a certain “fruit” company are ready for deployment in the next few days, or at least that’s what we were told. In addition to that, we’ve been using Acorn 6 for quite sometimes. Let’s make Acorn 6 as our pick of the week. This is in no way a paid product placement. We actually gave Flying Meat $14.99 minus the App Store fee to unlock Acorn 6. We would pay Flying Meat directly, but the Mac App Store is a more convenient route.

Anyway, back to rewatching Game of Thrones, Season 7 Episode 2, “Stormborn” over and over again.

Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 & PPC108

Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 & PPC108 is coming from Amazon.com to our office this Sunday. We originally were going to get just the Orange Amplifiers PPC108 1×8 20W Speaker Cabinet to use with the JOYO banTamP ZOMBIE Mini Tube Head. We figured out, why not get the Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 too.

We love the JOYO banTamP ZOMBIE Mini Tube Head as it was able to power a 2×12 Cabinet, albeit not to its full potential. That’s why we decided to get a 1×8 20W Cabinet, in case we’re going into the hobby/business in reviewing guitar accessories.

Can’t wait for Sunday to come.
