![]() ![]() That also begs the question about how to ensure that I buy the right jack when designing something that NEEDS wall wart power. So.that leaves me with a bunch of power supplies that don't fit their devices, and me a little peeved that I have to deal with RMAs, return shipping, etc., especially when I really don't have a clue how to figure out what to order. As you may surmise, I'm not a big fan of trusting my local Radio Shack for electronics guidance. If I try to pump them for information about what the outer and inner diameters are, they want to know if I'm happy with my current cellular provider. Too many parts to misplace and the tip-to-cable connector is almost always proprietary. Personally, I think that these types of "universal" kits are the worst thing to happen to electronics in, like, FOREVER. ![]() Radio Shack has their little keyring behind the counter with every known tip size, but all they can get from that is which stock number fits on their universal wall wart. ![]() How do I prevent this from happening in the future? Do they even make calipers that can get into the hole to measure the pin diameter? I ordered the power supplies I needed based on outside diameter (e.g., 5.5mm in my example below) and was surprised to discover that while the jack fit, the center pin did NOT. They're all the typical barrel power connector, and I'm having a dickens of a time trying to figure out the pin/hole diameter. Spring cleaning, and I'm trying to get power supplies for all my devices with missing power supplies. ![]()

This particular issue is the most frustrating for users as it makes them miss out on the perfect moments. The latest Instagram update has also brought certain bugs and glitches like the Translation button not working, and now this Story Camera not working issue.

We lived at 84, Cranbrook Road, on the corner of Clandon Street. I was born on but I vividly remember many wartime incidents including the New Cross V2. “ …Up to 6 am today 2,752 people have been killed by flying bombs and up to 8,000 have been injured…The number of flying bombs launched up to 6 am today was 2,754…A very high proportion of the casualties have fallen upon London…London will never be conquered and we will never fail.“ V2 Rocket: a world-first missile The death and destruction caused by the V1s and public disquiet forced Prime Minister Winston Churchill to make a statement to Parliament, on 6 July 1944: When he returned, his house was in ruins and his wife was dead © IWM D21210Īround a quarter of V1s crashed before reaching their targets, and over half of the rest were shot down by fighter aircraft and anti-aircraft guns or brought down by massed barrage balloons.ĭespite these successes, thousands of citizens were killed or injured.

Such images provided the Allies with the first hard evidence of the existence of German rocket technology. The history behind the V1 Flying Bomb This RAF reconnaissance photograph of a rocket test site at Peenemünde Army Research Centre on the Baltic Sea, Germany, was taken 23 June 1943. It was one of the worst losses of civilian life on British soil during the Second World War. Meanwhile, 123 passers-by were injured, many seriously. Of the victims, 33 were children, including babies in prams. Neighbouring shops and houses were reduced to rubble while choking dust and smoke filled the air.ġ68 people were killed outright: some of them in the neighbouring Co-op and some at their desks in nearby offices. Streets were ankle-deep in glass and blood-stained survivors lay on the pavements or staggered around in a daze or hysterics. The colossal blast threw people in the air, overturned lorries, and caused vehicles to burst into flames. The aftermath resembled battlefield carnage. On 25 November 1944 at 12.26 pm on a busy shopping Saturday, a German V2 rocket bomb made a direct hit on a crowded Woolworths store in London’s New Cross. ![]() ![]() ![]() The most recent version is always used on the application overview page. Both work on Ubuntu, but snaps work out of the box, and Flatpak needs to be installed by the user in this distro, so I think snaps are more attractive to my argument. This is a breakdown of ratings by CrossOver Version. Snaps it's the model created by Ubuntu parent company Canonical, and Flatpaks is the model patrocinated by RedHat. In short, those two methods are like apps are wrapped on android, not exactly like, its comparable, it wrap the software and all his necessary libraries and deliver it to the user packed up, they can even sandbox the software to run on a higher level of security, both are really similar. Since Photoshop and GraphicConverter do not exist for Linux, GIMP is the most.

He said that it would cost 500k to port it, and it wouldn't compensate because of the small linux user base, my argument is that: Although the Linux user base is smaller than Windows, Affinity Photo would become the primary option to linux users all over the world, and potentially impulse others to migrate do linux knowing that they would need to rely on Wine to use photoshop. 'wine './drivec/Program Files/Affinity/Affinity Photo/Photo.exe'' fails. As a Linux user myself and a former (and upcoming again) studio sysadmin.

![]() For one, AI as a marketing term is overused, and its meaning has been diminished. There are a couple of possible reasons why Apple deliberately avoided mentioning AI even in passing. Why does Apple avoid mentioning buzzwords? But all Apple revealed was it depends on “on-device machine learning,” and “intelligently curates” suggestions from your information. It seemed like a job tailor-made for a personalized AI algorithm. Plus, when Apple previewed its new app for journaling, it waxed lyrical about how it can suggest what you can write by sifting through your virtual footprint like photos, music history, places you’ve visited, and more. Persona with Apple Vision Pro (Image credit: Apple) Apple instead chose to call it a “digital representation” of the wearer developed with the “most advanced ML techniques.” Yet, the word “avatar,” a word commonly used by Meta, was nowhere to be found. The new Vision Pro headset offers an option called Persona, which builds your digital lookalike you can use on FaceTime calls. iOS 17 can transcribe voicemail live while the other person is in the middle of recording it and Apple said it’s “thanks to the power of the Neural Engine,” the dedicated iPhone chip for AI-related tasks it introduced five years ago.

Sometimes the pack moves, but not always. We have seen it infrequently both before and since. This situation was one where a clear expression of intent seems to have been involved, at least subjectively. Why did he howl? The off-the-cuff explanation, overheard from a woman standing nearby, was that he was telling his fellow pack mates to get off their butts and follow. Soon the whole pack was down in the willows and into a draw that led them out of sight. This time a few wolves got up and started his way. Short, deep howls, breaking both up and down in pitch. He trotted briskly downriver, disappearing briefly behind a mist curtain, and then reappearing on a knoll.Īfter looking back at his pack, he threw up his head and howled. But the black beta male, by that time famous, or infamous, known simply as “302” seemed anxious to move on. When they became visible, most of the pack were bedded while others were drifting around. Their howls filtered to us through the mist. Out there, initially invisible, was the big Druid Peak pack. When we left at 3:30 in the morning still jabbering away about all the imagery and meaning, we realized we had seen true art.It was a deep-freeze January morning, with mist peeling back in strands off the open riffles of the Lamar River like a series of gossamer curtains hiding a stage, eventually revealing the willow flats of the far shore. Even my 40 year old partner, who had spent the day mountain biking, was dead tired and had never seen a Miyazaki film stayed awake for the entire 2 hours. There a few clunky moments in the plot line where transitions between story points weren't very strong, but overall it's another outstanding film from Studio Ghibli. He's the heart of the castle and only annoyed at his first few scenes then becomes a very likable character. The voice that surprised me was Billy Crystal as Calcifer, the little flame that could. Most of the voice work was very strong including Christian Bale (Howl) and Emily Mortimer (as the young version of the heroine, Sophie). The airships (wow, airships in a Miyazaki film? Who would have thunk?) are great variations of one's he's used before and there are some rather dark and beautiful scenes of a world at war. The magic being Howl's and the authoritative hand of Miyazaki's direction. The castle is itself is a mesh-mash of so many haphazardly arranged pieces that an engineer would have an aneurysm just sorting them all out and yet it works. It's that same attention to detail that has made Pixar so great. And the lessons learned are represented in character changes and in the character's physical appearance as well. And as with all Miyazaki stories, the story teaches without being preachy. While not as awe-inspiring as Spirited Away or action-packed as Mononoke, it does work on the level of Kiki's Delivery Service as a girl is forced to be better than she thinks she can be (well, that's not a big surprise, that's all his films). Something in Disney's advertising or the description I read gave the false impression that it was going to be sub-standard work meaning it was still going to be better than anything DreamWorks Animation was doing (Madagascar was sooo pedestrian). Howl's Moving Castle is as marvelous and magical as Miyazaki's other great work. ![]() |
