&nbsp;
On Monday, Apple released its <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/09/apple-to-release-ai-focused-macos-sequoia-on-september-16/">latest computer operating system update called macOS 15</a>, or Sequoia. And, somehow, the software update has broken the functionality of several security tools made by CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft, and others, according to posts on social media, as well as messages posted in a Mac-focused Slack channel.&nbsp;
At this point, it's unclear exactly what is the issue, but appears to affect several products made by companies that provide software for macOS users and enterprises, which has caused frustration among people who work on and with macOS-focused security tools.
"As a developer of macOS security tools, it's incredibly frustrating to time and time again have to deal with (understandably) upset users (understandably) blaming your tools for breaking their Macs, when in reality it was Apple's fault all along," said Patrick Wardle, the founder of Mac and iOS security startup <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/25/ex-nsa-ex-apple-researcher-doubleyou/">DoubleYou</a>, and a longtime expert on macOS security.&nbsp;
"I get it, that writing bug free software is challenging, but maybe if Apple spent less time and money on marketing, and more time on actually testing their software, we'd all be better off!" Wardle told TechCrunch.
On the day of macOS Sequoia's release, a CrowdStrike sales engineer said in a Slack room for Mac admins that the company had to delay support for the new version of Mac's operating system. "I'm very sorry to report that we will not be supporting Sequoia on day 1 in spite of our intention (and previous track record) to support the latest OS within hours of [General Availability]," the engineer said in the message, seen by TechCrunch.&nbsp;
The engineer also said CrowdStrike sent out a "Tech Alert" to customers, adding that "there's quite a lot going on with the changes in the network stack."
"We're also tracking some similar issues with other vendors, and have feedback and a case in to Apple. While we would love for there to be a fast-follow patch that resolves this for us, we're acting under the assumption there won't be and we'll need to fix it in our code with a sensor release," the sales engineer wrote.&nbsp;

'Apple's New MacOS Sequoia Update Breaks Cybersecurity Tools, Experts Say' - TechCrunch

One day after the Fed's decision to lower interest rates by 0.5%, with the plan to lower 1% more before the end of the year, what the charts might do over the coming weeks into the election has all changed.
The moves up in the markets we're seeing suggests that short positions have been forced to leave the market. From my reckoning, this suggests that we have a pullback ahead into a choppy range.
And I have the trade to profit from that right here…
Today, we will use $SMCI to set up a trade with a short iron condor.&nbsp; 
The premise is the following – we will sell a short call spread and a short put spread for a credit which pays us first but holds margin in our account while the position loses value. When we sell spreads, we are anticipating that we can buy them back cheaper for a profit.
Trade structure – the short iron condor
<ul>
<li>Sell to open 1 SMCI 15 Nov 500 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 SMCI 15 Nov 520 calls</li>
<li>Sell to open 1 SMCI 15 Nov 360 puts</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 SMCI 15 Nov 340 puts</li>
</ul>
The credit we can collect here is $10.60.
Different to a long position, the short position has a risk event that is calculated in the following way:
<ol>
<li>The distance between the two call spreads: $500 &#8211; $520 = $20.</li>
<li>The distance between the two put spreads (also $20 here) but you can design them anyway you like. This defines the total risk.</li>
<li>We collect a credit that lowers this risk: $20 &#8211; $10.60 = $9.40, which defines the total risk we accept if the stock tests and holds either of the long strikes in question.</li>
<li>The breakeven prices are as follows: $510.60 on the call side ($500 + $10.60) and $349.40 on the put side ($360 &#8211; $10.60).</li>
<li>The goal will be to collect 50% of the collected about or we sell the position with about 18 days before expiration if the stock begins to move around near the edges.</li>
</ol>
The strategy result provides three choices to exit the trade.
<ol>
<li>To sell the position once the 50% profit is achieved (or whatever profit you deem acceptable).</li>
<li>To buy back the short iron condor spread once it hits your loss threshold as determined by personal risk. This will happen with extreme movement.</li>
<li>To buy back the short iron condor with 18-21 days before expiration. If all is going well and you have decided to hold the trade into closer to the end of expiration, consider at least taking some of the position off as risks tend to rise the closer we are to expiration. I have had many a trade go sideways taking it down to the wire and not capturing gains, so I do not advise doing this.</li>
</ol>

Jade City on Thursday unveiled a new white paper outlining its vision to democratize access to the global $50 billion jade market through the launch of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/39835765/rwa-tokenization-is-the-1-crypto-trend-of-2024">real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform</a>.
What Happened: The initiative seeks to provide broader access to a market that has historically been limited to a select few, using blockchain technology to bring transparency and security to the jade value chain.
Jade City's platform will allow investors to participate in the jade market by acquiring its native Jade City Token (CRYPTO: JCT), a digital asset that enables token holders to benefit from the value generated through the purchase, processing, and sale of jade.
The platform's unique business model includes a "buy and burn" mechanism, which will funnel profits from jade sales back to $JCT holders, ensuring long-term value growth.
A key feature of the platform is its jade-backed bond issuance system, which allows users to earn interest by staking stablecoins. 
These bonds are tied to physical jade, providing investors with exposure to an asset class that has seen rising demand, particularly in China, where the jade jewelry market has grown tenfold since the early 2000s, surpassing the diamond market in size.

"Our white paper offers a comprehensive account of how we will democratize access to the $50 billion-plus jade market for investors who have never had access before," said William Ralston-Saul, CEO of Jade City. "Jade is uniquely positioned to show how real-world asset tokenization can revolutionize an ancient market, making it accessible and lucrative for anyone who wishes to participate."
By partnering with the owners of the world's largest jadeite mine, Jade City has secured substantial holdings in jadeite, a sought-after gemstone in the global market. 
Additionally, the company has established key sales channels with major distributors in China, positioning itself to become a leading player in the jade industry.
What&#8217;s Next: The upcoming Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19 is expected to feature discussions on similar RWA tokenization projects and their potential impact on traditional markets.
