For over fifty years, Dieter Rams has left an indelible mark on the field of product design and the world at large with his iconic work at Braun and Vitsoe. The objects Dieter has designed have touched the lives of millions of people––so many of us have had a Braun coffeemaker, shaver, stereo, calculator, speakers, or alarm clock. Or an Oral-B toothbrush. Or a Vitsoe 606 shelving system. Or any of the hundreds of other products Dieter has designed or overseen the design of. His work has influenced the way most of today’s consumer products look and function.

But one of the most interesting parts of Dieter’s story is that he now looks back on his career with some regret. „If I had to do it over again, I would not want to be a designer,“ he has said. „There are too many unnecessary products in this world.“ He has long been an advocate for the ideas of environmental consciousness and long-lasting products. RAMS is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter’s philosophy is about more than just design, it’s a about a way to live. It’s about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need.

The film is currently in production as will be released later in 2018.

To enable a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition client for NTLM 2 authentication, install the Directory Services Client. To activate NTLM 2 on the client, follow these steps:

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
Create an LSA registry key in the registry key listed above.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: LMCompatibility
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 3
Valid Range: 0,3
Description: This parameter specifies the mode of authentication and session security to be used for network logons. It does not affect interactive logons.
Level 0 – Send LM and NTLM response; never use NTLM 2 session security. Clients will use LM and NTLM authentication, and never use NTLM 2 session security; domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLM 2 authentication.
Level 3 – Send NTLM 2 response only. Clients will use NTLM 2 authentication and use NTLM 2 session security if the server supports it; domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLM 2 authentication.
Note To enable NTLM 2 for Windows 95 Clients, install Distributed File System (DFS) Client, WinSock 2.0 Update, and Microsoft DUN 1.3 for Windows 2000.

Truecrypt 7.1a unter El Capitan installieren

Veröffentlicht am von

Bei der Installation von TrueCrypt Version 7.1a schlägt die Versionsprüfung des Betriebssystems fehl. Es kommt zur Fehlermeldung:
TC Fehler
Da TrueCrypt auch unter Mac OS X Version 10.10 fehlerfrei läuft, läßt sich diese fehlgeschlagene Prüfung leicht aushebeln. Das Disk Image starten und die dort enthaltene mpkg in ein Verzeichnis mit Schreibrechten kopieren (z.B. den Desktop). Dort mit Rechtsklick den Paketinhalt anzeigen lassen und die unter dem Ordner Contents enthaltene Datei distribution.dist mit einem Texteditor bearbeiten.
Der Inhalt der fehlerhaften Prüfung

function pm_install_check() {
if(!(system.version.ProductVersion >= ‚10.4.0‘)) {
my.result.title = ‚Error‘;
my.result.message = ‚TrueCrypt requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.‘;
my.result.type = ‚Fatal‘;
return false;
}
return true;
}

wird entfernt und es bleibt folgender Quelltext stehen:

function pm_install_check() {
return true;
}

Speichern und anschließend kann die geänderte Installationsdatei zum Start verwendet werden.
