A quiet place part two3/19/2023 There’s also the big unanswered question: where do the monsters come from? We know how they landed and their initial impact on the planet now. In terms of fear factor, the two-pronged threat of the monsters and the humans in tandem could evoke some of the best horror movies of recent times – and pave the way for some social commentary. Part 3 may well turn its attention to how society has crumbled and degenerated in the interim between Day 1 and the present day. Then there are also the dual paradigm shifts of both the presence of nefarious humans and the slight dampening of the threat of the monsters. We wouldn’t be surprised to see actors Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe – who both gave terrific performances – front and centre if we get a Part 3. ![]() Not only does Regan take the lead in the radio station, Marcus also saves his mother and the baby in the bunker by shooting the monster dead. It’s clear that the purpose of the ending was to position the pair of children as major players moving forward. Of course, John Krasinski’s Lee (who made a cameo in the opening flashback scene) was killed off in the first movie. The most considerable shift in A Quiet Place 2’s ending is how it sets up Regan and Marcus as the new leads of the franchise. It’s something that could be the focus of a future sequel or spinoff… How the Quiet Place 2 ending could set up Part 3 Still, A Quiet Place spent considerable time poking around at the edges of what’s going on elsewhere. It’s then implied he’s going to kill him and kidnap Regan – but he doesn’t get that far before the monsters descend and kill off the vast majority of the group. Listed only as ‘Man in the Marina’ on the credits, he lures in Emmett by using a little girl as bait. One of those is led by Scoot McNairy’s nameless man. It may have only been 18 months since the monsters arrived, but it’s clearly done a number on some – and groups have formed. While much of A Quiet Place’s short history has spent time focusing on the family running from the monsters, it’s clear that there are small clusters of humans taking advantage of the lawless society by being up to no good.Įmmett gives Evelyn a warning that the outside world beyond the settlements with beacons are no longer safe. What that’ll do for the scare factor in Part 3 is anyone’s guess, but at least the family – and an injured Emmett who only just survived – now have a new tool in their arsenal. It now serves as a serious weapon against the monsters moving forward – making them less of a threat. ![]() The broadcast tower allowed the bunker’s radio to also pick up that sound, giving Marcus the chance to shoot the monster dead. In the island’s radio station, Regan changes the currently-played song (Beyond the Sea) on the frequency to that of the debilitating feedback loop from her implants. But even the most calm and collected members the audience will have been watching the clock and wondering how Emmett and Regan would get back from the island to save Evelyn and Marcus in the bunker back on the mainland before the credits rolled.Īs it turns out, a piece of ingenuity from Regan not only helped save the day for both parties. A Quiet Place 2 had a wonderfully breezy pace, wrapping things up in a little over 90 minutes.

Netgear genie port forwarding3/19/2023 For this type of router, it is commonly 192.168.1.1. You can follow this guide to find your default gateway. To do this you need to find your Default Gateway(Router’s IP address) of your network. You must access your router on your home network in order to make any changes. If you need a guide on finding your network IP addresses and information, follow this guide here : You must check your DVR’s network menu and change the HTTP Port from 80 to 8080 if you need to utilize a different port number. For this demonstration we will use port 8080 as an example. Port 80 is a port that is commonly used by other applications as well, so in the event that it is already being used by another service, you will have to use another rule such as port 8080. One rule for port 80 and one rule for port 37777. There are two rules that must be made on your router for your security surveillance system. You can use this guide to help configure port forwarding on the Netgear Genie router for any device on your network. This particular guide is for the Netgear Genie Nighthawk R7000. ![]() Therefore you must go through the steps listed below to configure your router to allow for this traffic. Without this configuration you will not be able to view your surveillance cameras remotely either online or from your phone. To enable port forwarding on your system you will need to make “port rules” in your router to allow select traffic from the internet to allow access to devices on your network. ![]() Within the Netgear Genie Nighthawk R7000, there is a port forwarding section you will need to access for port forwarding.

Contact email for gmail3/19/2023 ![]() If the suspicious message appears to come from a person you know, contact that person via some other means such as text message or phone call to confirm it. Or call the organization using a phone number listed on the back of a membership card, printed on a bill or statement, or that you find on the organization's official website. Then go to the organization's website from your own saved favorite, or via a web search. If you receive a suspicious message from an organization and worry the message could be legitimate, go to your web browser and open a new tab. Never click any links or attachments in suspicious emails. Learn more If you receive a phishing email If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription with Advanced Threat Protection you can enable ATP Anti-phishing to help protect your users. Note that the string of numbers looks nothing like the company's web address. In the following example, resting the mouse over the link reveals the real web address in the box with the yellow background. Instead, hover your mouse over, but don't click, the link to see if the address matches the link that was typed in the message. Suspicious links or unexpected attachments - If you suspect that an email message is a scam, don't open any links or attachments that you see. Like where the second "o" has been replaced by a 0, or, where the "m" has been replaced by an "r" and a "n". Also be watchful for very subtle misspellings of the legitimate domain name. ![]() Mismatched email domains - If the email claims to be from a reputable company, like Microsoft or your bank, but the email is being sent from another email domain like, or it's probably a scam. If the email starts with a generic "Dear sir or madam" that's a warning sign that it might not really be your bank or shopping site. Generic greetings - An organization that works with you should know your name and these days it's easy to personalize an email. These errors are sometimes the result of awkward translation from a foreign language, and sometimes they're deliberate in an attempt to evade filters that try to block these attacks. If an email message has obvious spelling or grammatical errors, it might be a scam. Spelling and bad grammar - Professional companies and organizations usually have an editorial staff to ensure customers get high-quality, professional content. When you get an email from somebody you don't recognize, or that Outlook identifies as a new sender, take a moment to examine it extra carefully before you proceed. Are you sure it's real? Slow down and be safe.įirst time or infrequent senders - While it's not unusual to receive an email from someone for the first time, especially if they are outside your organization, this can be a sign of phishing. Tip: Whenever you see a message calling for immediate action take a moment, pause, and look carefully at the message.

Ge jasco wired my touch timer switches3/19/2023 ![]() Since the neutral has a voltage potential of 0, it is significantly safer to work with than the “hot” wires A and B. Notice that the voltage difference from end A (+120V) to end B (-120V) of the transformer is a total of 240V.Īlso notice the transformer has a line coming from the center which has a voltage of 0V. The transformer converts the incoming 13.2 kV electricity down to a usable 240V. I used the + and – symbols to represent the different phases. NOTE: Alternating current (AC) does not have polarity. This is done using a device called a transformer (represented by the squiggly lines in the image below). Before the electricity can be used in your home, it needs to be converted to a lower voltage. Typical electrical transmission lines in the United States have high voltage electricity (13.2 kV which equals 13,200V!). In order to fully understand what a neutral wire is and why we have it, you need to have a basic knowledge of how our homes are wired. If you’re going to be installing your own smart switches, you will be working with some potentially dangerous wires, so it’s probably a good idea to know what you’re dealing with so you can avoid making a stupid mistake. You could certainly hire an expert to get the job done, but it will cost you. Sometimes it might even require cutting into drywall, which then needs to be patched and painted. ![]() It can be done, but pulling wires through finished walls can be a real pain, especially if you don’t have the proper tools. This option is probably the most work and most unnecessary. Add a neutral by pulling new wiresĪ neutral wire can be added by pulling an additional conducting wire between the fixture and the switch. ![]() When someone decides to use the wall switch to shut the light off, the power to the bulb is cut, which means it will stop being a smart bulb until you turn the switch back on. However, that introduces the new problem of figuring out what to do with the existing switch ( here’s some ways to solve it). But, if you want easy installation and the option for colored lights, buying bulbs could be better. Most home automation experts recommend smart switches over smart bulbs. You don’t necessarily need to buy a smart switch. I’ve used the Shelly relays and they work really well. With one of these smart switches, the existing switch does not need to be changed and will continue to work. So, if you don’t have a neutral at the switch, you can use one of these compact smart switches installed at the light fixture. There are several compact smart switches which can fit inside electrical boxes and light fixtures. Therefore, if there’s no neutral in your switch box, the light fixture will have one. In any installation, either the light switch or the light fixture MUST have a neutral wire. Install a smart relay switch at the light fixture Between the three listed (Lutron, Inovelli, and C by GE) in this article, you should be able to find one that fits your needs. But manufacturers responded to demand, and now there’s a handful of good ones available. When smart switches first came out, it was hard to find a good “no neutral” switch. Buy a smart switch that works with no neutral If you want smart control of your lighting, and your home has switch boxes with no neutral, you have 4 options: 1. The third wire should be the ground wire and is usually colored green or bare wire.įour ways to fix the “no neutral” problem They will usually be colored one black and one white (potentially with black stripe or marked with black electrical tape). Two of the wires will be the current carrying wires that power the light. You should be able to install any smart switch.Ī switch box with no neutral loop will usually only have three wires (see image below). If you open your switch box and you see two white wires joined with a wire nut (not connected to the switch), you can be fairly sure your switch has a neutral wire. How do you know if you don’t have a neutral? The Shelly products are so versatile, reliable, and reasonably priced that I have no reason to try anything else. The truth is I haven’t tested any others because I have no need. Of course, Shelly is not the only brand that makes mini smart relays like this. And if the Shelly app isn’t good enough for you, you can go “full geek” and install custom firmware. You can set the relay to work with an existing toggle switch, momentary switch, or even 3-way switches. Additionally, the Shelly app is quite versatile. You can choose to use them with cloud integrations or without (local control only). The Shelly products are WiFi so you won’t need another hub. Since the Shelly is installed with a neutral, you don’t need to worry about needing a bypass for small loads. Therefore, you install the Shelly 1 relay behind the light fixture where there is a neutral. If you don’t have a neutral at the switch, then you will have a neutral at the load (light fixture).

Scarlet nexus pc demo3/19/2023 ![]() Both have the power to lift and throw objects telekinetically, but their primary weapons (Yuito wields a single long sword, Kasane multiple floating blades) and parties are completely different. The way this plays out significantly differs depending on which protagonist you choose at the start: the boy Yuito or the girl Kasane. Nexus streamlines the use of these powers in a way that seamlessly meshes with the flow of combat, resulting in a system that feels equal parts accessible and rewarding. However, the true thrill of the fight in Scarlet Nexus comes from integrating the psycho-kinetic abilities of you and your party into the mix. Players can button mash the X button to perform basic combos and, just like in those titles, button prompts eventually pop up for flashy finishing moves once enough damage has been dealt. Many have compared Nexus to Astral Chain, but the two are similar in aesthetics and structure alone in terms of gameplay, it’s much closer to a Devil May Cry V or Bayonetta 2. Scarlet Nexus is an action-RPG through and through, and the demo wastes no time in showing off its core appeal: the combat. Image courtesy of Bandai Namco Kinetic Combat Both of the protagonists are members of the OSF, and the demo follows each as they embark on their first mission in the field. In an effort to preserve the human race, the most talented power wielders called psionics were scouted to join the Other Suppression Force and fight back against the invading otherworldly forces. Unfortunately, horrible mutant creatures known as the Others appeared shortly afterward and began to wreak havoc on any and all people within their reach. In the far future, a special hormone has been found in the brain that’s granted humanity various supernatural powers. Scarlet Nexus is the studio’s latest crack at creating a brand new franchise, and if the Xbox demo is any indication, they may have finally struck gold. Well-regarded for their longstanding fighting game series above all else, their last attempt at a new IP with 2019’s Code Vein didn’t quite hit the mark so many had hoped it would. Bandai Namco Studios continues to surprise.

Carrion cover art switch3/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() According to tweets by developer Sebastian Krośkiewicz, development on Carrion began at least as early as October 2017. It then escapes the facility and emerges in a partially quarantined city as the sun sets.Ĭarrion was developed by Phobia Game Studio, an indie game developer based in Warsaw, Poland. Eventually, the creature returns to its initial containment area and absorbs the last piece of its stolen genetic code, allowing it to reconstitute a human form, which takes the appearance of the scientist it originally infected. However, Relith security forces arrived and executed the remaining scientist, forcing the creature out into the open and allowing Relith to capture and contain it. The Creature was originally found within an egg-like sack by three scientists, and upon awakening, proceeded to kill two and possess the third. The Creature also encounters material analyzers which, upon entering, trigger flashbacks revealing its origins. Along the way, the creature discovers pieces of its genetic code removed by the scientists for study and containment, which allow it to evolve, allowing for greater size and more means of both defense and offense. As the organism progresses through the facility, it fights and devours its way through the facility's staff and security forces. The creature breaks out and progresses through the facility in order to find an exit. Plot Īn amorphous entity known only as “The Monster” is held in a containment unit within a research facility owned by a company called Relith Science. As the game progresses, players can obtain upgrades such as the ability to dash-which can be used to break through wooden barricades and access otherwise unreachable areas-and to grow in size. The monster must make its way through a facility, crawling through vents and killing scientists and soldiers. Players control a red, amorphous, tentacled monster of unknown origin.

Opera for mac os x 10.6.83/18/2023 ![]() Maybe there is an alternative to the deadly boring rise of chrome and edge after all. The project seems to have changed significantly and now runs on *nix and windows and has its own rendering engine (Goanna). Finally, we added Palemoon a number of years ago as a windows only FF optimization. Then we added brave which intercepts and replaces embedded adverts with its own (they say its better for the publisher and more secure - are they brave (or crazy) or what). Most are just UI stuff (OK it's still innovation) on top of Webkit. Imagine our surprise (and delight) when we had to add 4 new browsers at this update. Frankly, it seemed pretty pointless just updating the version numbers of chrome and FF and Opera which is what has mostly happened over the last couple of years. New Stuff: It's been a very long time since the last update. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page. to know who and what is crawling around your site. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or. Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache. Nominally RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 define them ( get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1.0 and 1.1). We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere. ![]() So we split the mobile things onto a separate page. This is a year longer support.This page was getting big - we're talking big. Google/Chromium and Opera dropped support of the EOL OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and WinXP/Vista back in April 201'''6''' so they are not really an option.įirefox released Apwas the latest update to still support the EOL Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. They could have easily dropped WinXP/Vista earlier on due to the increasing difficulties in testing and build machines just as they were having with the support of OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. However at this point Mozilla will have supported WinXP/Vista users for over two years since Google/Chromium and Opera dropped WinXP/Vista. The Firefox 52 ESR support ends at 52.9.0esr Released on June 26. So would it really have been worth the resources, time and build machines needed to maintain support in current releases or perhaps some separate version branch for another year or two?Įven Windows users are not immune as WinXP/Vista support was dropped (despite far more users) as of Firefox 53.0 and later. Here are the specific breakdowns by OS version: This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population. Intent to deprecate: MacOS 10.6-10.8 support Google/Chromium and Opera dropped support of the EOL OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and WinXP/Vista back in April 201 6 so they are not really an option.įirefox 45.9.0esr released Apwas the latest update to still support the EOL Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. There should be a dmg for this to fix the settings and back up the ps file rather than trying to go to the coded tech-head site and sift through the code details. It only makes it worse when I put tracking protection settings on because then in addition to still tracking history streams won't work (they end up choppy and stall). This has been the case prior to Mozilla ending its support for MAC OS prior to 10.9 I have "never remember history" selected, and I'm CONSTANTLY having to go into the Privacy Settings and hit 'delete all history", over and over. Or move to Google's products? I can't get History to stop saving. Shall I just use Safari (which is garbage). To dump us because we can't buy a new computer to run a newer OS that is a memory hog is quite frankly, a shame. ![]() Some of us remember the Netscape/Internet Explorer war and CHOOSE Mozilla Firefox with intent. It is unreasonable for Firefox support to have been dropped for MAC OS systems prior to 10.9 - it's a browser, it should always be backward compatible. I can't spend $3,000 with Apple to get a MacBook with 16GB to give up 250GB of hard drive space for the same size screen just to run the newer OS and update Firefox. I have a 2012 MacBook running 10.8.5 because it only has 8GB and can not run a newer version of the OS. I think telling someone who has clearly indicated he/she can not update their computer to update their computer is a but unreasonable.

Mp3 ide tag editor3/18/2023 ![]() Single-byte encodings like cp1252 will tend to match most byte sequences, so it's best to put them at the end of the list of encodings to try. When an encoding 0 tag is met, the script attempts to recast it as GB18030 first, then if it's not valid falls back to code page 1252. Luckily encoding 0 is easy to recover into its original bytes since ISO-8859-1 is a 1-to-1 direct mapping of the ordinal byte values. Personally I haven't seen ID3s marked as UTF (encodings 1-3) in error before. If a tag is marked as being in UTF-8 or a UTF-16 encoding it's assumed to be correct, and simply converted to UTF-8 if it isn't already. ![]() (Ostensibly encoding 0 is ISO-8859-1, but in practice it is often a Windows default code page.) ![]() Only the tags marked as being in encoding 0 are wrong. The above script makes a few assumptions: Raise ValueError('None of the tryencodings work for %r key %r' % (path, key)) If value.encoding!=3 and isinstance(getattr(value, 'text', ), unicode):īytes= '\n'.join(value.text).encode('iso-8859-1') For example: musicroot= ur'C:\music\wonky' So I'd download Mutagen and write a custom Python script to automate your own decisions about how to fix up unknown encodings. Having a mixture of cp1252, UTF-16 and GB-18030 is quite unusual and I don't think existing software will be able to solve that automatically. I don't think you're going to find a standalone application that will fix up your particular selection of incorrectly-tagged encodings. I've never needed that functionality - I use EF and mid3v2 in concert to handle my retagging needs. I don't think it does much in the way of internet lookups and I don't know how it is with album artwork - Quod Libet may support that Ex Falso can do it with a plugin, should one exist, though one might not exist. Mutagen is written in Python.Įx Falso is a nice, clean GUI, and supports most of the major retag-multiple-files features you'd expect. It is certainly capable of converting all text into UTF-8, but you may need to script that yourself (I believe that the mid3v2 tool's defaults are to keep the current encoding where possible, and I don't know if it can be told to save everything in a particular encoding). As far as your normalization step goes, Mutagen only saves tags in ID3v2.4. It is also excellent with character encodings, and includes a basic scriptable commandline tagger ( mid3v2). In particular, you want the Mutagen tagging library, which supports id3v2.4 (and by "support" I mean "enforce". Picard (the MusicBrainz tagger) may use the same tagging library, but QL originated it. You want Ex Falso, the tag editor included in the Quod Libet project. I am also not (yet) interested in tag cleaning, mass renaming or categorisation software only I first have do the afore-mentioned normalisation step. have no automation features (I do not want to spend my time editing manually).have, frankly said, quiet retarded ideas about character encoding.Do not recommend general ID3 tagging software without testing it first against my requirements – most of them UTF-8 encoding), removes any v1 tags, and is also smart about figuring out the original encoding on a case-by-case basis (most likely one of Windows-1252, BOM-less UTF-16 or GB18030).īefore I start programming this on my own on top of TagLib, is there already such a complete solution I could use?ĭo not recommend Musicbrainz – it is heavily biased to United States published music and near useless to me. I need a software that upgrades the ID3 tags to v2.4 type $03 (i.e. For the majority of them, their ID3 tags display garbled in Amarok. |
