![]() ![]() If something is legally public domain but no one has a copy, then it doesn't matter. ![]() The problem with public domain is that there's no legal requirement for the publisher to give it away once the copyright expires (if they are the sole possessor). I'll add to what should and what will happen a third category: what could happen. With AMD as the only GPU competitor we’re destined for some serious price gouging. Nvidia is out of touch IMO.Īlso factor in that Nvidia probably only needs 1 card per X subscribers and it’s obvious there’s already huge margin. That was a decent entry-mid range card 5 years ago, so the $150-$300 per year as pricing while buying market share makes me think the goal is a massive increase in the cost of gaming. My GPU before that was an RX480 for $200 CAD (new). Even now I paid $290 CAD for an RX6600XT (refurb, but seems brand new) which is less than 2 years of the priority subscription. If they hadn’t managed to hyper inflate GPU prices that would be a joke. I’m sure they used to advertise it as a 3060. Personally I’ve always been a mid-range gamer at best, so the priority tier is closer to reality for me. I can buy a 3080 for about 3 years worth of GeForce Now (3080) and after 3 years I still have a half decent card to hand down to someone else. To me the pricing looks bad even with the hyper inflated, unrealistic prices of GPUs right now. It was really cool, but not realistic for my gaming budget. ![]() I tried the 3080 tier for $25 CAD per month. It’ll start as bring your own library with the odd exclusive, but eventually it’ll evolve into the only way to play AAA games. There's also a glimmer of hope at gog.com where they still sell real games without DRM. P.S., thank god for indie developers who make games without input from accountants and psychiatrists who specialize in addiction, they may save us all yet. I guess I'll go pen a dirge for the dying art I have loved. More than one company has quit normal games to run a casino for children. I guess traditional videogames will die off too. Think, they don't really make arcade games anymore. You used to choose on the character select screen or find items in the game, now new characters are $10 and items are $10 up to $100+, we all know it should be part of the game. That's before we even start talking about the F2P/IAP/DLC casinos. To play a game over the course of 10 years, as many of you have with Diablo or Quake or Minecraft, you'll have to pay your $15/mo to each streaming service, so instead of Diablo being $50, it'll be $1500. You'll have to subscribe to a different one for each game you want to play.Īnd you won't stop paying. Cloud mod API only.Īnd it'll go the way of all cloud services: fragmented. There'll be no deep tweaking, no introspection or learning opportunities. Mods will be greatly impacted eventually, with only sanctioned mods allowed to run in the cloud. This is going to be way worse than movie streaming, and unlike movies, when one of these companies pulls a game you once loved and it's not available, there will be no pirates to save you, because the software is trapped in the cloud. ![]()

WGHP's original studios were located inside the Sheraton Hotel on North Main Street in downtown High Point. It originally operated as an ABC affiliate, taking the affiliation from both WFMY-TV (channel 2) and WSJS-TV (channel 12, now WXII-TV), which previously shared secondary affiliations with the network, taking the Triad region 14 years to gain full-time affiliations for each of the three major networks. Southern Broadcast Company-which was 55 percent owned by former WTOB-TV principals, with the remainder owned by former Raleigh UHF station WNAO-TV and residents of High Point -was awarded the license and signed on WGHP on October 14, 1963. The owner of WTOB-TV (channel 26 whose channel allocation is now occupied by WUNL-TV) in Winston-Salem was also interested. Applicants for the High Point channel 8 allocation included Jefferson Standard Broadcasting, owner of WBTV in Charlotte and WBTW. The channel 8 allocation was freed up by the move of Florence, South Carolina's WBTW, to channel 13, and was short-spaced to WCHS-TV in Charleston, West Virginia and WXEX-TV (now WRIC-TV) in Petersburg, Virginia. In 1958, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) assigned a third VHF channel frequency to the Piedmont Triad area. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and maintains studios on Francis Street (just outside downtown High Point) its transmitter is located in Sophia, North Carolina.

I tried a few Edge extensions available from the Microsoft store without running into any issues. Edge’s Task Manager allows you to keep track of browser performance it also provides the ability to end individual processes that may be causing issues. Also recently added is basic support for the Mac’s Dark Mode. You’ll find all the usual browser features, including bookmarks/favorites, tabs, private browsing, muting tabs, pinning tabs, a download manager that can track downloads by file types, and a handy Task Manager which conceptually is like the Mac’s Activity Monitor, but only tracks Edge-related processes. The current version of Edge has Touch Bar support, updated keyboard shortcuts that match up to what Mac users will be expecting, and media casting, which allows you to play videos or audio on an external device. Edge FeaturesĪlthough this is just a preview, Edge has been developing at a fast pace. Microsoft is adding interface elements for the Windows and Mac versions, and tweaking performance for a good fit with Microsoft’s own family of web apps. Some of that isn’t surprising after all, at heart, Edge is running an open source Chromium engine, the same rendering engine that powers Google’s Chrome browser. But overall, it’s a very impressive preview. There were a few blips a few times, Edge wouldn’t quit without being forced to, and some preference settings don’t seem to actually work yet. During benchmarking and daily use it distinguished itself as being very stable and performed well in our basic benchmarks. Speaking of bugs or issues, I was pleasantly surprised at how robust the current version of the Edge browser is. This layout option includes a background image and quick access to often used web sites. Edge has multiple layout options including the Inspirational one shown here. But that’s OK we knew before we started that Edge is currently in a pre-beta state. This also means we’ll be working with a version most likely to have issues of some type. We’re going to use the Canary version of the Edge browser for this mini review and benchmark because we want to have the most current version with as many bug fixes in place as possible. ![]() I advise only acquiring the preview or beta versions of the Edge browser directly from the Microsoft Edge Insider site. I’ve noticed that there are a number of other download sites offering versions of the Edge browser for the Mac. The Canary, Dev, and Beta versions of the Edge browser can be downloaded from the Microsoft Edge Insider website.

It lets the TCM know how fast the input shaft is moving. If you’re having a boggy speedometer, you may see this code. P0720: Your speedometer reads the speed using speed sensors. This code could be due to a corroded wire or may require input speed sensor replacement. It lets the processor know if the car is in the right gear. P0715: Your automatic transmission vehicle sends signals constantly with the TCM. An issue with the transmission range sensor will bring up this code. It also informs whether or not the gear is in neutral for the car to start. P0706: Transmission range sensor communicates with the TCM letting it know the shifts of the gear lever. Usually, when your car has this code, the check engine light will also come on. P0700: The most common cause for this code is a faulty TCM. It could perhaps be due to a recent change in any of these components resulting in incompatibility issues. P0614: This code indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) are incompatible with each other. P0613: This code tells you that there is a fault within the circuitry or the processor. However, if the transmission fluid is okay, there must be an issue with the temperature sensor. P0218: This refers to an overheated transmission due to low or dirty transmission fluid. But if it doesn’t stop the symptoms (very likely to happen when the fluid is completely black), you need to rebuild the whole transmission.Ĭommon transmission fault codes causing AT light to come onĪs a mechanic, whenever my “Mazda customers” have the AT light, I’m about 90% sure the list below is the case. Replacing the oil filter is another common solution. A complete transmission flush is the first option (very risky, you should let a mechanic decide if your car needs that or not). The problems causing AT light must be something else.ĭark red (in the middle): you need to change the fluid.īrown or black (on the left): at this point, something bad might already happen to your transmission system.

If the transmission fluid is OK, the next thing you want to check is its color.įollowing the instruction of the video above, you can also check for the transmission fluid color. However, taking the vehicle to a mechanic to replace the gasket will cost upwards of $150. Replacing gaskets is relatively cheap as well and will cost you $20 to $45. Using transmission stop leak fluid for minor leaks is an additional $10 to $12. Depending on the brand, you may be looking at around $20 – $50 per gallon of transmission fluid.

It will help you save time, make you more productive, and introduce some fun into developing software applications with NetBeans. ![]() After reading this volume, you will understand how to use the NetBeans IDE effectively for software development. I wrote this book to provide an overview of all these features. Updated tools and features include the bundled Profiler, better debugging, tight integration between VCS tools and the Local History, and too many others to mention. NetBeans 6 has not only an updated code editor, but also many new features, such as Ruby/Rails support, Maven support, JUnit 4 support, and Local History, among others. Through the newly rewritten core architecture, the NetBeans 6 Source Editor provides extremely intelligent and powerful features such as code completion, syntax highlighting, and refactoring. The NetBeans 6 Source Editor is arguably one of the most important features of an IDE, since that is where developers spend a great deal of time. NetBeans 6 provides an amazing development environment. If you or your organization have not yet switched to use NetBeans™ IDE platform, then the recent release of NetBeans IDE 6.0 will make you want to do so. This is especially true in professional software organizations that have an investment in IDE plugins, code-quality and build tools, and established development processes that can all be affected by changing IDEs. Making the decision to migrate to a new IDE can be a big deal for some developers. It seems that almost every month one of them comes out in a new version, claiming to be the best IDE. Today, numerous open source and commercial Java™ Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are available.

Will it be just for shakes, or will you also use it to grind things like nuts or vegetables? If the latter is the case, heavier-duty models may be in order.īlender Type: There are two types of portable blenders: those that are built into a bottle and those that sit on the counter. Usability: The most important thing is to ask yourself what you plan on using the blender for. There are a few considerations you’ll want to keep in mind as you try and decide which portable blender is best for you. How to choose the Best Portable Blender for you How to choose the Best Portable Blender for you.Lastly, at around $75 to $80, it’s more expensive than most competitors, but after experiencing frequent glitches and poor blending with other portable blenders, I can safely say the effectiveness, longevity, and versatility of the EvolutionX makes it worth the price. It also won’t turn on while the USB port is in use. There are no measurements on the side of the blending cup, which is typical for personal-size blenders and annoying if you’re following a recipe. Are there any downsides to the Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless Blender?Īs I mentioned above, the battery-powered EvolutionX doesn’t quite reach the textural standards of a high-quality, full-size blender. crushing large quantities of ice cubes or pulverizing fibrous vegetables) or if you need to blend in bulk, a portable blender won’t replace your full-size blender. But if you’re using your blender for things other than fruit smoothies, soups, or baby food purées (e.g. I keep it on my kitchen island, which isn’t close to power, and charge it monthly. The Cuisinart EvolutionX has now replaced my Nutribullet. ![]() ![]() Neither can compete with my Vitamix in terms of smooth, even texture, but the EvolutionX comes pretty close. I never had to stir or scrape down the sides, and I didn’t notice a difference in efficiency between the Cuisinart and my Nutribullet Pro. What’s more, I only had to pull out the charger once. I used it daily for protein shakes (milk, protein powder, frozen banana, and frozen spinach) and once or twice a week for salad dressings and simple sauces. That said, I tested the Cuisinart EvolutionX on a six-week trip, and it worked beautifully for my needs. For reference, your kitchen’s power outlets supply 120 volts, while even the most powerful cordless blender I tried supplied only 24. And because cordless portable blenders run on rechargeable batteries, they’ll never have as much wattage as corded ones. When it comes to blenders, more power = more effective crushing and blending. Can the Cuisinart EvolutionX portable blender replace my traditional blender? And the 16-ounce, dishwasher safe blender cup is ample compared to other single-serve cups and comes with a travel lid for mess-free transport. I also like that, unlike other portable blenders like PopBabies, the EvolutionX’s blade can separate from the cup for easy cleaning. Meanwhile its closest competitor, the BlenderX (which weighs twice as much) came on all those journeys too and stopped charging after a few weeks of use. And even if that happens, you can quick-charge the unit for 15 minutes and get enough juice for one or two smoothies.Īt just over two pounds and with a compact design, the EvolutionX came with me on two airplanes and multiple road trips, and it survived being dropped on the floor at least once. ![]() ![]() The single-button control is dead simple, and there are three LED lights along the base, which indicate the battery level so you’re never stuck with a dead blender. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() eBay is not affiliated with or endorsed by Polaroid.
