The software is designed to support all known digital camera brands, notably Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, and many more. And you are offered every tool needed to fine-tune and finish the culled photos. It is exclusively designed to run on Windows PC.įastStone Image Viewer hosts a familiar, highly intuitive, user interface, which is a subtle imitation of Windows Explorer’s UI.įurthermore, as the name implies, FastStone Image Viewer is optimized to cull and sort images with unparalleled speed. The software is a popular image browser, image converter (from one format to another) and photo editor. ![]() "FastStone Image Viewer tops our list of best photo culling software. What do people think about the statement that FastRawViewer is possibly the only program to preview in the original RAW format? How is this beneficial? I had a good experience with the app (the UI is ugly, but it's functional) and would recommend it if the goal is to really quickly look through a large number of RAW files.ĭoes anyone else have problems with RAW-thumbnails on Explorer? Is this issue solved on Windows 10? I understand this isn't the same as having them show up with thumbnails in your Explorer, but maybe it's the "next best" solution unless someone else can suggest a workaround for you. But if I *just* wanted a fast viewer for my RAW files, that's what I would use. Since I upgraded my Mac this spring, and also purchased the LR/PS subscription, LR is just as fast rendering the RAW files now so I no longer need FRV. That saved me minutes of rendering time in the old app. Thanks to FRV, I could immediately preview my RAW files at lightning speed, sort out the ones I wanted to keep and then import *those* into LR. two years ago? The trouble for me was that my old copy of Lightroom (and old Mac) was so slooooow rendering RAW files that I felt my life wasting away, waiting for it to finish. ![]() Plus, you have to admire DiCicco for taking that “What if?” game and making it real.ĭiCicco plans to release StarDrive 2 early this year for $30. Our StarDrive 2 message board is available to provide feedback on our trainers or cheats. But I went into StarDrive 2 expecting to be completely run over by its complexity, and instead I found it accessible, if a bit frustrating for new players. Our StarDrive 2 Trainer is now available for version 1.4 (0 and supports STEAM. No way you can think of a whole separate universe with out the help of psychedelics. Its theme and mood might be derived more from the Star Trek school, but the philosophy that runs through its spine is, undoubtedly, from the amazing Microprose title, the king of the 4x genre of the nineties- along with a pinch of Galactic Civilizations and Sins. I noticed this on 20MG of 4-aco-DMT and thought it was pretty sweet. Share images about the latest and most beautiful mercedes office in bangalore now, see details below the post write. In short, Stardrive is the best descendant/clone of Master of Orion 2. I haven't had my hands on StarDrive 2's preview build for very long, so whether or not the experience holds up or gets easier over multiple playthroughs is still to be seen. Fun fact: Stan Lees Cameo in Marvels Dr Strange was reading the doors of perception on a Bus while Strange is in the middle of a big fight in the coty. The lack of multiplayer is disappointing, but there is so much in it already that it’s hard to really be upset by the omission. The sheer number of things you can do in StarDrive 2 is phenomenal, especially considering DiCicco is creating it practically on his own. Battle Arena feels completely separate from the 4X conquest of StarDrive 2’s main mode, and will hopefully be expanded upon in some of developer Zer0sum Games’ post-launch updates. You are given a budget to spend on buying and customizing your ships at the start, and the money, experience, and losses you incur along the way carry over to the next mission. Battle Arena is a series of fights tied together with a story through dialogues before each mission. 4: Open your 'C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalLowZero Sum GamesStarDrive 2CustomRaces'. Outside of the main single-player mode-which creator Dan DiCicco tells me should take roughly 6-10 hours-StarDrive 2 has no multiplayer, but does feature an alternate mode called Battle Arena. 2: Make a custom race save (Name it something you can remember, traits now doesnt matter) 3: Close game. but there are outposts and research stations at the fringes. ![]() The combat requires a ton of strategy, and I get the feeling the computer knows it better than I do. Even the thin stream of neutrinos from a stardrive can aggravate one of the Monstrosities. ![]() In the event of a data breach, the company must first discover the hack, investigate it, and report it. Before that happens, you want to make sure there is enough time to react and change your password. It’s safe to assume that once a company has been hacked and your account details are stolen, your password will be exposed at some point. What could happen if a site’s password database gets breached If your password is Password1, it will be cracked in under a second, but if your password is something similar to ZK}8xR%YtrvVAk4nuad#Y9g}X (don’t use this exact password), it can take so much time it’s not worth the effort for those attempting to crack it (unless they’re specifically targeting you). Cracking password hashes takes time, but a large percentage of passwords can be cracked very quickly as they are commonly used. This is one reason why you often see stolen data from a hack surface weeks or months later. If the hashes match, then the attacker has successfully guessed the password. However, if the original password is weak - or if an attacker has enough processing power and time - the password may eventually be guessed, which would result in the same hash. Hashing is technically a one-way function, meaning that if the only thing a site’s administrator (or an attacker) knows is the hash, they cannot somehow reverse it and extract the original password. Hashing creates a digital fingerprint that represents your password.Salting adds random bits to your password. ![]() If proper procedures are followed, sites should store your account details (including your password and credit card info) both “hashed” and “salted” using a strong cryptographic cipher. How sites are supposed to store passwords So even using a couple of different seemingly strong but memorable passwords isn’t a great idea. If they can access your e-mail, all the rest of your accounts are one reset-password request away from being compromised, too. Imagine a scenario where a forum gets hacked, your password is leaked, and then an attacker uses that database of leaked usernames and passwords to break into your bank account or your e-mail account. ![]() Either way, once your password is out there, attackers will try “credential stuffing” attacks: checking to see if anyone with the same username or e-mail address has reused that same password on other sites. This may be the result of a site storing passwords in a less-secure (or completely insecure) manner, or a determined attacker cracking your password. If one company’s password database is breached, your password may get exposed. One reason is credential stuffing attacks. You might wonder why it isn’t good enough to simply memorize one seemingly strong (but memorable) password and use it for every site. Password managers to avoid (a partial list).4 password managers that meet the above criteria.What could happen if a site’s password database gets breached.How sites are supposed to store passwords. ![]() While not a complete comparison of all major password managers out there, this article will teach you what to look for in a good password manager, and will provide a few options. We discuss four trusted password managers in this article each is cross-platform, available for Mac, Windows, and iPhone (and the first three are available for Android). There are quite a few password managers on the market today, so which one is right for you? All you need to do is memorize one really strong password to get access to all the others. Was your data stored on their servers?Ī password manager is software that allows you to create and store strong and very complex passwords so you won’t have to memorize them. Just in the past year, major organizations such as T-Mobile, the Red Cross, and IKEA were compromised. Wikipedia has a partial list of notable data breaches, listing the largest hacks. You don’t always hear about these hacks only breaches of the biggest companies makes headlines. These leaks often contain usernames and passwords, and can also include other sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personal information. Jay Vrijenhoek, Kirk McElhearn and Joshua LongĬompanies and websites are hacked all the time, and data they hold about users can be leaked. How To + Software & Apps 4 Best Password Managers in 2023: How to choose the right one for you ![]()
![]() You can find instructions on how to import it on their website I am using yarn to add my packages to my app with yarn add wavesurfer.js. Now it is time to import Wavesurfer.js and initialise it in out components. ![]() Along with the WaveContainer, the Wave component is a styled component thats is composed of a. ![]() You may be wondering why we have imported the Wave component this is the element we will append Wavesurfer.js to and as you will see later, is the reason why we have ids added to bother Wave component and audio element. I’ve gone for the very basic Waveform, but you can call it whatever you wish: In this example, I am using Class-based composition, as the Wavesurfer.js library works best when being bound to a JavaScript class and we have access to the this keyword - if you want to find out more about this you can read one of these two great articles here and here. They work in a very similar way to CSS, so you should be able to translate the minimal styling I use into CSS very easily. If you are unfamiliar with these, you can find out more here. I’m assuming you have a pretty good understanding of React, and for this example I will be using Styled Components. Well, look no further! Below I will outline how you can get this Wavesurfer.js up and running in your React app in a few short steps, as well as some help understanding some key elements of the API. You will then likely discover that the very useful react-wavesurfer module that uses the main library is no longer maintained on Github and then begin wondering where to turn next. However, after a bit of time exploring their website, you will struggle to find any decent examples with React and likely turn to Google to search for “ React wavesurfer.js” like I did. One of the solutions is to use a package called Wavesurfer.js a library built using the Web Audio API and HTML5 Canvas to bring you super customisable audio visualisation. I mean, there was stuff in the early days that was borderline suggesting we were incestuous. For a lot of career, we were really struggling with trying to get people to avoid innuendo about sexuality and our sibling relationship. ![]() It sounds like a breakup song.īecause our relationship is in such a good place, it’s easier to analyze and look back at just how bad it was at times. I knew you wrote about your sibling relationship more with this record, but I never would have guessed “100x” was one of those songs. I was really tapping back into how complicated our relationship is. I’m like, “No, I don’t really like that line.” I can see her getting frustrated, like, “I’m just trying to help!” And I’m like, I know. I’m not saying that in the room, but that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying to use our experience as sisters and our conflict when we were younger. Tegan popped in while I was writing the lyrics, and it was funny because she would pipe up and say, “What if you sing this thing? Or that thing?” And I was like, this is so awkward. ![]() We were working with Jesse Shatkin, who had worked with Greg Kurstin on Heartthrob with us. I was actually in the room with Tegan when I was writing a bunch of that song. There’s always a trick to that, too, because it makes you really vulnerable, specifically on “100x,” because I was pulling from my relationship with Tegan. I really like the songs for this record because I didn’t have to think so hard about trying to say things clearly. I forgot I had said that about writing for other people. I wanted them to be poignant for anyone for a relationship, even a guy and a girl. That’s what I really wanted to emphasize by simplifying the lyrics. I worry the song could turn people off because they can’t see themselves within a certain identity. There has been queerness in the mainstream, but it’s usually from the perspective of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” or Demi Lovato’s “Cool for the Summer.” It’s sort of this tourist, “Yeah, I’m cool! I’m open! Whatever!” We are offering a different perspective: that queer voice flirting in the straight world is missing. There’s something subtly revolutionary about imagining a song with that perspective having a big impact on the pop world. I’m playing with the idea of gender and sexuality, but I think everybody plays these roles. She actually wasn’t closeted, but in a way our relationship felt closeted because I was ready to take it to the next level and she wasn’t. I was singing about who had yet to declare that she wanted to be in a relationship with me exclusively. But I also think it’s the most digestible, accessible, conventional part of any relationship: the insecurity that every person has where you just want someone to stand up and declare that they’re with you. I’ve had a lot of nervousness with “Boyfriend” as a single, because I hate the idea that it’s only for gay people. I still think when people hear something explicitly queer or “not for them,” it’s hard for them to imagine that the message is transferable. But I also was really struggling with, “How do I do that without alienating another huge part of our audience?” The reality is, as a queer person, I can take any heterosexual song or artist and immediately make it fit for myself, but I don’t know if as a society we’ve been able to do the opposite. Specifically with “Boyfriend” and “BWU,” I did want to be more explicit about the idea of gender roles and the queerness of my own life. Now, it’s a part of songwriting evolution and wanting to use a different voice. I think also as a songwriter, writing to the person as if I was singing directly to that person-that was very intimate to me. In a weird way, it never occurred to me to write in that way. We were part of a handful of people who were really talking about it in the mainstream at that time. We looked gay, we talked about being gay. I felt so exposed and visible as a queer person. ![]() When I think about those early years of our career, sometimes I felt like, “Oh, the music doesn’t have a sexuality or an overt message of queerness.” When I think about it now, well, I felt so gay. ![]() Though I love high G rides, and think that the faster a ride can go,the better, it will benefit the theme park industry more to go to the "Technological Thrillrides" such as Universal claims to have cornered the market on. You can sure bet that talk was thrown away this morning. You will see a strong surge in more family rides at all of the big chains, especially disney, who was talking about having its first 6 inversion coaster built at the Animal Kingdom when they began talking again about "Beastly Kingdom". Personally I cant see going to a park without an intense ride, but thats me. People are wanting more theme to a park, and a lot of folks see something like a coaster as a blemsih on the landscape. ROTM doesnt exceed more than 3 G's, and thats only in its initial launch. It shows with the success of such rides like Spiderman and MIB, even Revenge of the Mummy, though it is a coaster. I think the public really is starting to lean towards a less intense G-force type ride. And with insurance rates for high G force attractions sure to rise in the aftermath of this most recent death, that future might be coming to a theme park near you sooner than anyone might have expected. Rides like Disney's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Universal's Men in Black Alien Attack, and Legoland's Fun Town Fire Academy and Splash Battle represent the future. And that the video game generation craves attractions that they can control. Theme park managers, like their counterparts in the movie business, have learned that repeat visits create blockbusters. Smart theme parks are looking for new attractions that engage riders, empowering them individually, or collectively with the other riders in their vehicle, to alter or determine the effects and outcome of the ride. The near future of the theme park industry lies not in thrills, but interactivity. Talk to theme park designers, and they express their excitement not for new ways to throw riders' bodies around, but for new ways to engage their minds. Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro has declared that his company, the industry leader in that arms race, is done with record-setting, high-intensity thrill rides, and will instead look to recapture parents with kids by offering more family-friendly rides. The theme park industry already is moving away from the high thrill arms race of the past decade. Unlike heart or back conditions, or pregnancy, most people at risk for the type of ailments exposed by high G rides do not know that they are at risk, severely undercutting (but not negating) the effectiveness of stronger warnings. If you know the G force of a particular ride, please browse to it in our listings, then click the link to add that information to the ride's description.īut the tragic number of deaths at Walt Disney World over the past years, many linked to high G force attractions, might signal the end of the development of such rides in the theme park industry. To that end, I'm asking registered Theme Park Insider readers today to help us collect that information. And I'd love to see parks publicize the G forces exerted on their rides, along with the time that riders are exposed to that force. Parks should urge people with high blood pressure to avoid these rides, as they already warn or ban people with heart, neck or back problems, as well as pregnant women. ![]() Yes, theme parks could do more to warn their visitors of the danger of high G attractions. On Mission: Space, the peak G force is much lower than on Rock n' Roller Coaster, but it is sustained for a much longer period of time. Such preexisting medical conditions led to the death of two riders in the past year on Disney World's Mission: Space, another high G force ride. Put someone with a congenital defect, or even a bad case of high blood pressure, on a high G force ride and aneurysms and stroke can result. High G forces and circulatory problems provide a potentially fatal mix. Authorities have yet to determine the cause of death, but in 2000 the ride was the scene of a non-fatal incident where a rider suffered bleeding in the brain. Witness Rock n' Roller Coaster at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Walt Disney World, where yesterday a 12-year-old boy died. With twists, turns and sharp acceleration, even a relatively low speed ride can exert force on the body three, four and even five times the force of gravity. Not height, not speed, not length, but the pressure exerted on one's body. But over the past decade, theme park thrills have added a fourth dimension. Traditionally, thrill ride fans measured the intensity of their favorite rides three ways: tallest, fastest, longest. Robert Niles The end of the high G force thrill ride? June 30, 2006, 9:52 AM |
