![]() In my attempts to recreate this at home, I used half chicken stock and half water and it didn't seem to overwhelm the leeks, and also added a little richness. (Note to self: plant this next year!) It was chopped and thrown into the pot, a cup or so of sour cream was stirred in with some salt and we had a classic "Potage Bonne Femme," a potato leek soup rather like vichysoisse only with more leeks than potatoes.Ĭarol prefers to use water to cook her vegetables rather than chicken stock, feeling that the flavor of the leeks is more pronounced. While that warmed on the stove, Carol and I went just outside to the kitchen garden to gather a few leaves of sorrel that hadn't yet gone dormant. On this day, a bit before lunchtime, Carol asked me to pull a big pot out of the fridge that contained braised leeks and potatoes in a white-ish liquid. One of the great things about these days at the farm, aside from getting to wear my boots if outside work is required, is sitting down at the table for a big lunch of soup or stew, a hefty loaf of bread and a nice chunk of cheese. Well, I say "helping" but it's more like "trying to not seriously f*** things up" while packing boxes of preserves, weighing and measuring beans, polenta and wheat into little bags with a big scoop. ![]() Just before the holidays I was out at Ayers Creek Farm helping Carol and Anthony get ready for the big holiday market at Hillsdale.

![]() It came with a brush that rode the record surface in front of the needle. The remainder of the $250 name says Super Track IV (trademarked) Stereo Dynetic (Registered) Phono Cartridge with Stabilized Static-Free Tracking. It was not cheap then - $249.95 in 1982 dollars. Shure made a linear tracking version of a popular cartridge back in the day. Yes, they will still play, but the deep thumps are distracting at the very least. You will soon learn that out-of-center records are pretty much useless on this design. The problem is exacerbated by the moving motor at the tonearm's base. ![]() Depending on the severity of the problem, you may get to watch a new dance - the out of center dance, as your needle hits the peak of the ellipse that is the groove pattern, knocks against the groove wall with a thump, and is sent heading back in the other direction. If you have woofers that dance to warps and edge welts in vinyl, pull out an LP that you know has an out-of-center problem (the hole is punched such that it is not in the center of the groove pattern). Therefore, if the tracking error number from your manual is higher than you want your vinyl exposed to, well, that number may be a constant, not a maximum, worst case number.įor fun, take the screens, cloth or whatever off the front of your left and right channel speakers. I drew the conclusion (right or wrong) that because the arm's base needed to be out of tolerance to move, the arm would be perpetually at the limit of tracking error in order for the arm to move smoothly towards the record's center. ![]() It's tracking error is a factor of 10 lower than most linear tables that were sold in the '80s. I own a Mitsubishi LT-30 linear tracking turntable. If you have the owner's manual, check the tracking error limit number. I realize this may never qualify as a "serious" table, but the little box from 1983 is a lot of fun. I will need to trust the factory settings on azimuth and overhang, and it is a bit inconvenient to not be able to get the platter spinning with cover open, so I can run my brush across the record right before play. I do have the service manual, and I will eventually disassemble this completely, I may decide to install a switch on the motor power so I can stop it externally, but for now I just want some basic tests. ![]() I do realize that a linear tonearm is basically the reverse of a cutting lathe, so it should be more accurate, at least on new vinyl, and I would really like to experiment and hear for myself whether records worn on pivot arms will show deterioration on the linear tracker.Īlso - any tricks on how to use a stylus scale on this thing ? That might be a tough mechanical question, because you need to close the cover for the arm to drop, and then the platter starts spinning - so standard method does not apply. I will get two identical ones, and mount one with an adapter on a standard headshell, because I would be extremely curious to make some comparisons with my pivot arm table - just to chime in on the IGD debate on linear vs. The main thing here is not to go overboard on a very expensive cart, but to make sure tracking force is about 1.25 (which I actually think is/was a T4P standard - correct me if I am wrong) so as to not induce unnecessary wear on valuable records, when I do decide to give them a spin on my new old toy. ![]() I get the impression that there is a limited choice of these available, and I am looking for some recommendations. A little sibilance, and a very faint hum from the original Panasonic cart, but it is three decades old and for its age it is just fine. I played a few familiar records that I have duplicates of and I use for tests, and they sound pretty much the way they are supposed to. I put a strobe disc on, and the speed is dead on. The person that sold it to me obviously took care of it, as it has no visible wear of any kind, but still, I am amazed at how well it has aged - the plastic parts have not deteriorated in any way, and the mechanics are in perfect working order. It is/was no more than a entry-level table, but is still built very well. I always wanted a linear tracker when I was a poor teenager in the 80s, and now 30 years later I picked up one of these on eBay, and I am having a blast with it as a side project.įirst off, this thing works flawlessly 30 years after it was made. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, watching Austin discover that his game was ended not by the car barrelling him over but instead by an expert sniper shot is an apex moment in context changing the enjoyment of the PUBG experience. The introduction of the kill cam, a half-measure of the replay system, revealed this easily. Context is the difference between a screw-up fight that leaves you howling with laughter or the absolute tragedy of accidentally running over yourself with your own vehicle. This replay system is one of the most interesting things to be added to a popular game in years, and that’s because it adds a whole new element of enjoyment to an already-enjoyable experience: Players now have full context for everything that happens.Ĭontext has always been key in PUBG. PUBG stores the last 20 matches you’ve played, and allows you to “lock” replays that are especially interesting so that they aren’t overwritten. pubg.sh and chickendinner.gg are both still functioning though.

We were able to select text, even if it was on a slant, and generally the results were good.Īs we said above, Preview offers enough features if all you need to do is enter a bit of text and sign a PDF. If you are running macOS Monterey or later and you open anything in Preview – be it a PDF or a photo – you will be able to select most forms of text and cut and paste it in to a text document. One of the newest features of Preview is an OCR – optical character recognition. You can export your PDF as a JPEG, TIFF, but there are no options for exporting to other apps, such as Word or Pages. It is also easy to rotate pages (click on the page in the Thumbnail view and click on the rotate icon in the menu). Now that you can see the thumbnails it is easy to shuffle page order, delete a page, and you can even drag and drop another PDF into the thumbnail column to add it.

The screen shot below shows my plugin settings and the menu items. In-app info says that this is available with 6th generation Intel CPU’s or later. The Topaz AI plugins are now in a different folder to the older legacy plugins. The surprise for me from these tests is in both Denoise AI and Sharpen AI using the Intel OpenVINO is faster on my MacMini than using the eGPU.The Radeon RX 580 GPU used in the test is one of the lower speed GPUs so there could still be additional performance improvements available with a faster GPU card. As expected the eGPU made a substantial difference in reducing the processing time.It was close enough that at least some of the differences in time could be attributed to my own reflexes starting and stopping timing.

Topaz DeNoise AI works both as a standalone application and as a plug-in for Lightroom or Photoshop. (We would know - we made one!) DeNoise AI is different: we fed an algorithm millions of noisy/clear images until it actually learned what noise is and how best to remove it.ĭeNoise AI examines the whole image and holistically determines the difference between detail and noise in that photo.

How did you discover that non-China-registered accounts were being monitored? ![]() While in previous research non-China-registered accounts had not been found to be under political censorship, our latest study reveals that documents and images sent from these accounts are nevertheless under political surveillance and that this content is used to invisibly build up WeChat’s censorship system for China-registered accounts. Non-China-registered accounts are under terms of service outside the jurisdiction of China (specifically Singapore). Censorship persists for China-registered accounts even if the account is later associated with a phone number outside of China. China-registered accounts are under terms of service in the jurisdiction of China (specifically Shenzhen) and are subject to censorship. A non-China-registered account is any WeChat account that was not originally registered to a mainland Chinese phone number (for example an account registered to a Canadian or United States phone number). What is the difference between China- and non-China-registered accounts?Ī China-registered account is a WeChat account that was originally registered to a mainland Chinese phone number. No notification is given to either user that the message was blocked. When a message is sent from one WeChat user to another, it passes through a server managed by Tencent (WeChat’s parent company) that detects if the message includes blacklisted keywords before a message is sent to the recipient.įigure 2: One user tries to send the keyword “法轮功” (falun gong) and is censored. WeChat censors content server-side, meaning that all the rules to perform censorship are on a remote server. In previous work, we found that WeChat enables keyword and image censorship for users with accounts registered to mainland China phone numbers. Questions and Answers from the Research Team How does censorship work on WeChat? None of these methods provided a clear rationale or description of the surveillance that we detected in the course of our experiments. We used these methods to assess if they could reveal or explain the surveillance practices we detected, and whether WeChat representatives would explain the company’s practices when directly asked about them. We analyzed WeChat’s public-facing policy documents, made personal data access requests, and sent detailed questions to Tencent data protection representatives. None of WeChat’s public-facing policy documents, personal data access requests processes, or privacy officers communicated that the company is conducting this surveillance. Content surveillance between users of accounts registered outside of China is functionally undetectable. Our research reveals that content surveillance is applied to both China-registered accounts as well as to non-China-registered accounts. In the meantime, users should be aware that this is a possibility.īoth the monitoring and censorship happen in secret, without transparency to users. We don’t know yet if chat message text is under similar surveillance. Our technical methods can only tell us if files and images shared on WeChat are under surveillance. However, in new research we show that files and images shared by WeChat users with accounts outside of China are subject to political surveillance, and this content is used to train and build up the censorship system that WeChat uses to censor China-registered users. WeChat users outside of China may think that WeChat’s political censorship and surveillance system does not affect them. In previous research, we found that censorship on WeChat is only enabled for users with accounts registered to mainland China phone numbers. WeChat surveils non-China-registered accounts and uses messages from those accounts to train censorship algorithms to be used against China-registered accounts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mais dont les personnages, engagés dans une quête inspirante de vérité, trouveront au détour un bonheur qu’ils n’attendaient plus.

How do you know if you have the newest version of the Mavericks installer? The easiest approach is to look at the Information box on the Mavericks page on the Mac App Store-specifically, check the date next to Updated (or Released, as the case may be immediately after the initial release). So if you create an install drive and later download an updated version of the Mavericks installer, you’ll want to erase that install drive and recreate it using the new installer. Similarly, any bootable Mavericks install drive you create will not be updated to the latest installer version automatically. ![]() (If the Mac App Store won’t let you redownload the installer, quit the Mac App Store app, relaunch it, and then Option click the Purchases tab in the toolbar that should show the Download button next to Mavericks in the Purchases list.) If you’ve got an older version of the installer and you want the latest version, you must delete your current copy of the installer and then redownload the Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store. However, unlike with other Mac App Store-purchased software, the Mac App Store does not update the copy of the Mavericks installer app sitting on your hard drive. Obviously, then, you want to create your bootable install drive using the latest version of the Mavericks installer. Using the latest installer for your bootable install drive is convenient, because it means that if you ever need to reinstall Mavericks, you won’t have to install 10.9.0 and then immediately install the latest big update. For example, when the inevitable 10.9.1 update is released, a few days later the Mac App Store will begin providing an updated Mavericks installer that installs 10.9.1 right off the bat. However, Apple regularly updates the OS X installers it makes available for download from the Mac App Store. A bootable install drive you create from that installer will install OS X 10.9.0. For example, if you downloaded OS X 10.9 on the day Mavericks was released, you downloaded the 10.9. What? You didn’t even realize that there are different versions of the installer? It turns out that when you download an OS X installer from the Mac App Store, that copy of the installer contains whatever version of OS X was available at the time of download. Get the latest version of the Mavericks installerīefore you make a bootable install drive, you should make sure you have the latest version of the Mavericks installer. Also, if you need to reinstall Mavericks, recovery mode requires you to download the entire 5.3GB installer again.) Finally, if you need to install Mavericks over Leopard-assuming you have the license to do so-a bootable install drive makes that process easier. (The OS X Recovery feature is a big help here, but not all Macs have it-and if your Mac’s drive is itself having trouble, recovery mode may not even be available. Also, if your Mac is experiencing problems, a bootable install drive makes a handy emergency disk. But there are a good number of reasons you might want a bootable Mavericks installer on an external hard drive or a thumb drive (USB stick).įor example, if you want to install Mavericks on multiple Macs, using a bootable install drive can be more convenient than downloading or copying the entire installer to each computer. Instead, it’s available only as an installer app downloadable from the Mac App Store, and that installer doesn’t require a bootable installation disc. 9.Mavericks (OS X 10.9) doesn’t ship on a disc.

I have already gone into Retrospect's Device Status window and told it to ignore the optical drive (Retrospect on this station backs up only to a Sony SDX-420C AIT drive). But now if I have Retrospect running, anytime I try to launch the Labeler program, I get the message "LaCie LightScribe Labeler is already running this application will now quit."

Finally, the d2 managed to read 4.22GB of data (in 4X DVD+RW mode) in 9 minutes, 30 seconds, burning the same data in 13 minutes, 57 seconds. The d2 also scored comparably to the HP dvd630e in CD Audio tests, ripping 74 minutes, 35 seconds of music in 3 minutes, 47 seconds and burning the same music in 3 minutes, 17 seconds. In double-layer DVD tests, the d2 ripped a 7.9GB video file in 17 minutes, 33 seconds and burned the same file in 45 minutes, 15 seconds-very similar to the HP dvd630e's score (Iomega's Super DVD proved much faster in DL performance). In 8X DVD-R mode, the same burn took 8 minutes, 34 seconds-faster then the HP dvd630e's time. On Windows theres application called 'LightScribe Simple Labeler'. Ive managed to make my DVD Label with InkScape, but it is daunting process. ![]() The d2 burned that same 4.4GB file in just 6 minutes, 8 seconds-identical to the performance of the Iomega Super DVD. Hi, Id need your suggestions for application to use with LaCie (LightScribe Labeling application). That's a little slower than the Iomega Super DVD's time but identical to that of the HP dvd630e. The d2 ripped a 4.4GB video in 9 minutes, 7 seconds. While the LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW with LightScribe did not excel in any particular area, it generally performed on a par with other drives in its class. Otherwise, this assortment of tools should cover most general-purpose CD and DVD multimedia projects. Video-editing support is weak in this bundle (for example, the Asus DRW-1608P includes Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.0 Suite SE), so aspiring Hollywood types might opt for a separate editing package.

The LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW with LightScribe also provides a suite of software. Of course, you'll need LightScribe-compatible discs, and you'll need to burn the label side as a separate step (you must flip the disc over after the data has been written), but a well-designed label burned to the disc can give the completed media a very professional look-a real plus for business users. However, if you plan on using the d2’s LightScribe feature to etch. ![]() One uniquely interesting feature of the d2 is its LightScribe capability, which allows the drive to burn the "label side" of the disc.
