The airport network in my he’s consistently delivers almost full up and down speeds (520/520), and it works all over my house with 20 devices connected at any given time at full link speed… I achevé yet to find about her wireless product that performs as reliably or as well, sometimes you don’t update something because you don’t have to. The amplifi HD came the closest in performance, being able to broadcast 490/490 at full link speed, but again the coverage wasn’t the same and it also needed rebooted more than it should. The eero doesn’t have th es se management capabilities and isn’t as fast, my broadband connection is 550down/550up, and the eero could only broadcast about 280mbps even when devices were connected at full link speed, also the coverage wasn’t very good. The orbi had to be rebooted at minimum once a week once it’s cache got full, which is the same problem all netgear routers have, also can only connect at 866mbps, even though my MacBook Pro has a 1.33gbps chip in it, the airport DOES deliver that link speed, the orbi is also 399. Then the express will get AC.Īs far as using the other products, I have used the eero, the orbi, and the amplifi HD. My guess is that the next AirPort Extreme will have 802.11 AX which has entered the draft stage. ![]() It was way ahead when it was released 4 years ago, and other companies are now somewhat catching up but the reliability still isn’t there, so there’s no need for Apple to release a new one especially since the “wave 2” AC devices don’t perform much better. Unlike the display which they officially said they’d be discontinuing, no such language has come for the airport line. Just because something hasn’t been updated doesn’t mean it’s bad, or being “dropped”. It never needs restarted unless there’s a firmware update, runs 24/7 without maintaince, and provides maximum throughout for every device connected, they cover the whole house, and you can use them as a “mesh” network very easily. They haven’t updated them in a while, and I’d like an airport express refresh, but the AirPort Extreme from 2013 still performs better than all of its competitors in the space. They’re still making them, and you can still buy them new. Super happy, although several hundred buck lighter.There no evidence that Apple has “dropped” the airport lineup.

The simple destruction of three spheres thus earns 300 points, four spheres 400, etc. In general, 100 points are awarded for each sphere destroyed. This is also true for the other levels, except that for the 13th and 14th stage, with five additional levels in 13th stage and four in 14th stage before entering level 14–5, the last level. Levels 4–1 to 4-5 are repeated as levels 7–1 to 7–5, but level 7-6 is added. For example, levels 1–1 to 1-4 are repeated as levels 4–1 to 4-4, but level 4-5 is added. The order of levels repeats after every third stage, however, one stage is added in this repetition. There are four levels in the first stage, five in the second, and six in the third. The arrangement of the levels of Luxor 2 are similar to the arrangement of rounds in Zuma. Multiple difficulty settings are available as well, with play at higher settings yielding higher scores. In "Story mode", the player earns titles/rankings as he or she progresses through the various levels. There are a total of 88 rounds of increasing difficulty, plus 13 bonus rounds which the player can play through. If the player succeeds in eliminating a certain number of spheres without this occurring, new spheres cease to arrive and the level can be completed by removing those which remain. If any sphere reaches the player's pyramid, he or she loses a life and is forced to restart the stage. When spheres are eliminated, adjacent spheres which now form a segment of three or more or the same color will also explode in a chain reaction.ĭuring gameplay, the on-screen spheres continuously move forward, pushed by additional small scarabs. Players do this primarily by shooting additional spheres from a winged scarab which they guide back and forth along the bottom of the screen. The game challenges the user to eliminate colored magical spheres by causing three or more spheres of the same color to collide. If GTA V and RDR II are any indications, then fans could the new GTA game within a couple of years. However, it’s promising that Rockstar is now putting its full attention on the game that has likely been in development for several years already. This doesn’t give us a clear timetable for when GTA 6 could arrive on our systems, of course. They did the same thing back in 2011, two years before GTA V was released, and in 2016, two years before RDR II was released. When Tez2 says that the developers have just started fully working on the game, this presumably means that Rockstar is putting everyone to work on the game instead of most of their developers. While there are a couple of ways to interpret this leak, the most rational one is likely the easiest explanation. This was quite alarming for GTA fans, as they hoped that Rockstar would have already done this years ago. They are still doing bug fixes for Trilogy DE, but it's slowing down as focus increases and Rockstar starts fully working on GTA VI. They recently took to Twitter to say that the developers have only just begun to “fully work on GTA VI.” The insider in question is Tez2, a highly-reputable source within the Rockstar Games realm. This might be because, at least according to an industry insider, Rockstar Games has only just started putting all of their focus into the new GTA game. However, it’s been close to four years since RDR II was released and there have been tumbleweeds on the GTA 6 news front. So it’s likely that the developers have at least been working on GTA 6 since then but likely a little before RDR II’s initial launch date. Rockstar’s last big release was Red Dead Redemption II in 2018. It’s unclear exactly long the next installment in the GTA series has been in development. The same Rockstar insider who reported that the remakes have been scrapped is also reporting that the developers have only just started putting all of their eggs into the GTA 6 basket. However, the decision also could have been made so Rockstar could focus on their upcoming projects, like the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. This was in direct response to the harsh reviews the recent GTA Trilogy remasters received. Earlier in the week, a reputable Rockstar Games insider revealed that remakes for GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption have been scrapped. The Grand Theft Auto series has seen its fair share of news this week. ![]() In the midst of this vital floorage of creative political energy, in makes sense that Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic have been collecting submissions for a second edition of their 2005 encyclopaedia of dissidence, The Design of Dissent.Ĭreative modes of resistance and collective practices exist and are being built, and it’s important to consider their significance. Sites like offer free, downloadable signage send out daily emails with concrete actions that creatives can take and there are countless Google Docs emerging that invite designers to add their details and make themselves publically available for organizations seeking graphics, like Designers Available. In Germany, designers at Public Positions have been combatting Syrian refugee dislocation through poster workshops. Art director of the New Yorker Françoise Mouly and cartoonist Nadja Spiegelman are publishing political comics newspaper Resist!. studio Use All Five, are faxing artworks by designers-including Pentagram, Open, and Isabel Urbina Peña-to local government offices to protest the Trump administration’s gutting of the National Endowment of the Arts. The major effort led by the Amplifier Foundation meant the solicitation of hundreds of graphics for the women’s march from image-makers across the United States. In recent months, designers and the creative industry at large have notably been using their skills to resist and organize, to inform and educate. These were calls for design to envision and invent instead of advertise and confirm, to inform and educate instead of promote wealth and power a call to arms that in the current state of affairs triggered by aggressive Trumpist instability and strengthening alt-right movements around the globe is relevant and needs urgent revisiting. They serve as pastry chefs in glorified soup kitchens, doling out mass-produced visual gruel.” The First Things First 2000 manifesto, published by Adbusters in 1999, similarly asserted that designers pledge “to put their skills to worthwhile use” and address the “unprecedented environmental, social, and cultural crisis” of the times. “Obedient to the orders of corporate clients, designers are cogs in the wheels of commerce. The sense of social vision that once inspired it is but a dim memory,” they wrote. “Design is shackled by historical amnesia. Its ambitious exponents claimed that it could imagine new structures for society design would give birth to an inclusive, collective language and help craft a new positive reality, delivering the world from exploitation and inequality, forging a utopian future in its place.Īs graphic designer Neville Brody and historian Steward Ewen asserted during the 1989 AIGA conference in San Antonio in the great and still very relevant paper Design Insurgency, this optimistic idealism faded as design reached middle age. In its adolescence, design was invested with vision. I use a de-clicker program sold by someone whose name I forget for the moment, but was around £40 for a lifetime license, and does a fair job (hopefully someone here can put the correct name in for you).Ĭhoice of phono pre and ADC are also important. However it takes the same time to record (I use Audacity) and storage is relatively cheap so have stuck with 24/96. Since then I have learnt some things here about the quality of vinyl, and think my choice was reasonable if not even too much. I decided on 24/96 as being better than I probably would ever be able to afford to reproduce. ![]() To the OP - I have been undertaking the same task (slowly!) over the last 2 winters. I mean, there have apparently been efforts to provide proper RIAA and inverse RIAA, so a manual approach employing Audacity's declicker in between may provide decent results. Effectively what the software has to do is run an IIR filter with an inverse RIAA characteristic, tackle the clicks at this level (which works much better with the frequency response flattened out like that as the clicks come out much better defined, and I presume higher sample rates also help), and then apply RIAA filtering again. To the best of my knowledge there are commercial offerings only. One thing Audacity does not have is good and effective automatic declicking. Saving at another sample rate when you're finished is most easily accomplished by changing the project sample rate and then exporting. I found that the default input level on my new board was +6 dB, perhaps because it made for cleaner clipping - reducing it to 0 dB would make some more headroom available that may end up being grateful for if it turns out you need it. You can right-click the field displaying a number to switch to dB display. (That's Microsoft logic for you, the stuff you need is hidden away somewhere.) Also check the level setting. Then the line-in can be right-clicked and the desired settings are in the last, Advanced tab. Getting there is best accomplished by going into the dialog for system sounds and going into the recording devices tab to the left. You should have set the input sample rate and bit depth in input device properties. The phonopre output should be plugged into the line-in before starting Audacity, as inputs and outputs on onboard audio codecs have a habit of only appearing when plugged in (jack detection). It can also split out a recording into individual tracks if you have set markers beforehand.įirst of all, you'll want to select a project sample rate of 96000 Hz, and tell the application to pick up sound devices via WASAPI (rather than MME or DirectSound). ![]() ![]() some of the best-quality resampler options are completely free, including the one built into Audacity.įor such basic recording tasks, Audacity is a good choice. Sample rate conversion is fairly quick and trivial, so you can easily convert to 16/44 after the fact if you want that. Moreover, it is not uncommon to see performance degradation at 44.1 kHz in onboard codecs that I believe is related to clock generation. VinylStudio is software purpose-built to digitize records and tapes.The anti-alias filters in consumer line inputs are not generally good enough that I'd support recording straight to 44.1 kHz.

Hmm, that description somehow sounds a bit like dnethack's elder priest. maybe sauron’s black magic is involved….A vile creature which seems to consist mostly of tentacles, it seeks to drag people to their doom in the water. the concept of Melkor taking Maedhros’ mother name from his identity is… idk how to put it, but perhaps its both in a physical and psychological sense? ofc, there’s the whole idea of Maedhros being unable to stomach hearing ‘Maitimo’ anymore which is the obvious answer, but also… hear me out here… what if Melkor had a little book of names he’s taken from people? which sounds silly but subsequently ‘binds’ that little bit of them to him, so long as it isnt destroyed. i also think Melkor (in this particular comic) places an emphasis on using Maedhros’ mother name idk maybe because Feanor went by his mother name? a petty, spiteful kinda thing. And so in this case Fingon, who has always called him Maitimo since they were kids and is a creature of habit, learns why Nelyafinwe is bearable, Nelyo still used by his brothers, and Russandol becomes more commonplace- but never Maitimo. so after angband, I’ve always headcanoned Maedhros as refusing to be referred to as ‘Maitimo’ anymore. naming seems like a really big deal among the eldar given how much time and love Tolkien put into it! so personally I think each and every one of the names they give their children/themselves are very very sacred I have several further thoughts on this so that’ll be under the cut for ramblings lol i was studying Maria Llovet’s comic style when I was working on this so if you’ve ever read Luna and notice some stylistic similarities that’s it!! ![]() maedhros recalls a name of old that he can no longer bring himself to be referred to.Ĭontent warning for heavy scarring, slight languageĪ bit darker than my usual content, so big apologies in advance □♀️ this is quite an old comic i had sitting about from May, and given i was a bit busier this weekend i worked on this on the side instead of answering asks (business as usual as soon as i can!).
