![]() Months later, a new portable Xeon-based workstation made its way into our home, and again that beast would only do UEFI. No legacy booting of any kind (except on external USB sticks). Then, 2020 came, and a brand new laptop showed up with UEFI only. On my personal systems, I simply ignored the UEFI problem and kept enabling Legacy BIOS on any fresh new machine I would obtain so I could boot my Linux OS without giving it a second thought. This includes almost any firmware, even add-on cards. It gives us (Linux users) the ability to run fwupdmgr to flash the firmware in our machines from within Linux.It makes multi-booting more reliable and flexible.To be fair, UEFI provides multiple advantages, including these: UEFI wanted to evict the BIOS so its predecessors would no longer shame the PC.įor UEFI technology to be widely adopted, manufacturers opted to make it optional/selectable from the machine's firmware: Do you want to boot in Legacy BIOS or UEFI mode? Over the course of the next ten years, UEFI slowly pushed Legacy BIOS out and became the default mode for machines shipped by manufacturers. People with SPARC or PowerPC Mac systems with OpenBoot PROM (OBP)/OpenFirmware had already experienced the future many years before. When Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) was introduced in the early 2000s, it was designed to replace PC (Basic Input/Output System) BIOS and provide x86 users with something more technologically advanced.

The problem is that it's not as simple as pulling your hard drive from an old system and popping it into a new one and expecting everything to work as desired. But it turns out that's a disaster waiting to happen because of hardware differences between the new and old systems. When I switch systems, I like to take my operating system with me and expect it to boot on the new machine. ![]() There are many ways to maintain a system and I usually prefer some investigative debugging rather than wiping and hoping for the best.įor this reason, systems like my work laptop might have started their life a long time ago (Fedora 22 on an i7-based 4th generation laptop) and have by now seen three hardware refreshes, several solid state drive (SSD) upgrades, and many Fedora updates (I currently use Fedora 32). I just don't subscribe to this point of view. Some people, often using other platforms, prefer a good once-a-year wipe and reinstall to regain the original speed of their systems. I find it a complete waste of my time for something that should just update in place. ![]() I don't know about you but I don't like to reinstall my operating system.

Yahoo Auctions, the leading Japanese auctioneerĪfter eBay's hasty departure, Yahoo found itself alone on the Japanese market. ![]() In this part, we explain in detail how these Japanese e-commerce sites work and what differentiates them from each other. There are five popular alternatives to eBay in Japan. Their failure was resounding, but it has allowed several Japanese sites to emerge in a market that continues to grow. The American group thought that its simple name would be enough to bring back customers without having to make efforts of adaptation and communication. Like many other Western companies before it, eBay did not understand Japanese cultural differences while it is an essential criterion for being successful in this country. As a result, the auctions were stopped in 2002, and the site closed in 2004. But this attempt to expand into one of the major Asian markets proved to be a failure. Indeed, a Japanese version of this leading marketplace was launched in 2001. In the past, eBay has already tried to conquer the Japanese market. We also invite you to take a look at our proxy purchase service if you have any problem buying one of these items. ![]() We hope this will help you in your search for Japanese products. In this article, we present several alternatives to eBay in Japan. We therefore regularly use e-commerce sites that work like eBay but are purely Japanese marketplaces. In fact, we buy and ship daily hundreds of products that usually are only available in the Japanese market for our customers abroad. ![]() As a proxy buyer, Japan Rabbit is very knowledgeable about Japanese e-commerce sites. ![]() Using FFT, the system detects the pitch frequencies, also other methods detect note durations tempo, time signa- tures and generates sheet music. Yet, it also allows for the preservation and distribution of music from societies without a history of written sheet music. This paper presents early work on a tool for musicians and ethnomusicologists to transcribe sheet music from monophonic voiced pieces for preservation and distri- bution. ![]() We propose a method which benefits from HMM. In this work, we aim to elaborate on the exploitation of AMT Deep Learning (DL) models for achieving alignment at the note-level. Recent literature confirms the benefits of Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) for A2SA at the frame-level. Technology, by the destruction of physical and cultural distance, has lead to many changes in musical themes and the complete loss of forms. Audio-to-score alignment (A2SA) is a multimodal task consisting in the alignment of audio signals to music scores. This chapter analyzes the evolution of music understanding algorithms and models from monophonic to polyphonic, showing and comparing the solutions, while analysing them against commonly accepted assessment methods and formal metrics. Music holds a significant cultural role in social identity and in the encouragement of socialization. Several different approaches are based on techniques such as: pitch trajectory analysis, harmonic clustering, bispectral analysis, event tracking, nonnegative matrix factorization, hidden Markov model. Recently, a range of polyphonic transcoding algorithms and models have been proposed and compared against worldwide accepted test cases such as those adopted in the MIREX competition. ![]() Techniques suitable for monophonic transcoding have shown to be largely unsuitable for polyphonic cases. The transcoding of polyphonic music is a one of the most complex and still open task to be solved in order to become a common tool for the above mentioned applications. Music understanding from an audio track and performance is a key problem and a challenge for many applications ranging from: automated music transcoding, music education, interactive performance, etc. ![]() gray MacBook case, Macintosh operating systems Computer Icons Directory macOS, Steel Mac Classy Folder Icon, rectangle, black, mac png 512x512px 35.98KB.iTunes logo, Apple Music Logo iTunes, apps, purple, computer, number png 894x894px 468.13KB.Overall, FastStone is a suitable tool for streamers and office professionals who need to share their screen to groups of people. The graphics, effects, and annotation tools available in the program are also sufficient for emphasizing visual cues. While it may not offer other video file formats other than WMV, it hosts a substantial variety of formats for screen caps. Once you get started, you will see that it offers various modification options for you to record or capture your screen in the way that you prefer. Plain but practical capture toolįastStone projects itself to be a compact tool as all of its main tools are placed in a control panel. The video file will then be saved once you’re done however, FastStone can only save Windows Media Video or WMV files. Afterwards, you can click Edit to add effects and graphics. The recording will stop when you click this icon again. Once you have these settings in place, click the red circle icon to begin recording. ![]() First, you must select one of the four areas that you will record: Window, Rectangular Area, Full Screen without Taskbar, and Full Screen.įastStone does not record computer audio by default so you must tick the Record Audio box to enable it. The pop-up window will appear with the modification options. Before you’re ready to record, click the film strip icon in the Capture panel. This also has editing tools or specific functions that you can use similar to that of the Screen Capture tools. It allows you to record on-screen changes, computer audio, mouse movements, and clicks. The Recorder is the only Screen Recording tool. There, you can check the image or edit the text you need to be applied. Should you select any of the 6 tools, it is then more important to preview your work. There are also 6 additional Output tools you can use to enhance your photos: Delay before Capture, Include Mouse Pointer, Copy to Clipboard, Auto Caption, and Watermark. This can be done by checking the Preview in Editor tick box. You can also instruct FastStone to send a preview of your image before saving. You will see 10 destinations wherein you can save your captured image, namely: Editor, Clipboard, File, File with Auto Save, Printer, Email, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Web with FTP Server. You will find these in the Output dropdown menu. Each capture function has its own hotkey while the tray icon offers functions in a pop-up menu.īefore enabling a screen cap, it is important to set the desired destination. While these are easily accessible in the control panel, you can opt to take a screen grab by pressing a hotkey or right clicking on the FastStone tray icon. The Screen Capture tools are the different capture functions, namely: Active Window, Window or Object, Rectangular Region, Freehand Region, Full Screen, Scrolling Window, and Fixed Region. This panel is divided into three types of tools: Screen Capture, Screen Recorder, and Output. The final product can be saved as a BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, PDF and WMV file formats Creating a screen capįastStone opens with a small Capture Panel. You will find an array of editing tools such as draw, trim, resize, and tint. Once you have your image or video ready, FastStone opens your work in its built-in editor. It can also be used to record while you’re scrolling through a page or running a program. With it, you can take a photo of your full screen or active windows in various shapes and sizes. FastStone Capture is a screen capture tool and screen video recorder developed by FastStone Soft. When junk lines appear to the side, all junk lines that you send to your enemies will first attack these lines. When you see them flashing red, it means that they are about to enter your playable area as soon as you place your next block. They rise from the bottom shrinking the playable area. These are the lines or blocks sent your way and are waiting to enter your game. On your main screen, you will see lines and block queuing up in the side. You must know how to counter enemy attacks. Just like you, your enemies will also send junk lines towards you as well. Defense GuideĪfter attack, you must also know how to defend yourself from enemy attacks. You must master this effective move if you really want to become the master of Tetris 99. Make that Double or Triple spin and each time the number of junk lines will increase by 2. Try to complete a T-Spin and you will send two junk lines to your opponent. T-Spin is an advanced attack move which can increase the number of junk lines that you send to your opponents. You can also choose a target yourself in the game rather than picking one yourself. You do not have to worry about choosing a specific one when random is selected. The game will pick a random player for attacking. This comes extremely useful near the end of the match when only a few players are left on the screen. ![]() Players who attack you will be attacked back. This attack mode will set all the attacking players as your primary targets. We suggest that you take it slow during the early phases of the match and heat it up when a few players are left in the game. Get ready for a lot of junk lines if you become the leader of the match. However, you must be aware of the fact that when you become the leader, everyone else will be coming for you. When you kill a player who has the most badges, you will acquire all of those which will make you the match leader. This is essential if you want to become the leader of the match quickly. ![]() This is an attack move when you want to target the players who have the most badges and most kills in the match. Also, this will kill any chances of you getting a Badge for killing them. This is a little slower than other attack modes because the target players might die before your junk line reaches them which makes the attack useless. These are easy kills to add under your belt so we recommend that if you prefer a lot of kills, you should opt for this attack mode as you will always attack players who are nearing KO. Using this attack mode, you will target players who are about to die and are closing to the top of the screen. You can pick any attack mode however each attack mode comes with its own strategies and tricks. You have four different attack options to choose from. This is your way of making life of your opponents hell in Tetris 99. The player at the end will be deemed the winner of the match. You will need to focus on your own game as other boards on the sides can be distracting. Keep this up and try to survive as long as possible. You have four different attack modes at your disposal which we will discuss below in the attack section.Īs you clear lines on your own board, you will send junk to other player’s boards. In each match, you will be paired with 98 other players who are also trying to do the same thing as you. In addition to this, there are some twists to the gameplay which you must use if you want to survive in the game. You will need to create complete lines of blocks to earn points and get some combos. The game looks and plays like a generic Tetris game. Don’t expect to start picking up blocks and throwing them at your enemies to damage them. One thing you should know is that Tetris 99 works like a normal Tetris game. Our Tetris 99 Beginner’s Guide details everything that you need to know about playing Tetris 99 and also some advanced moves along with attack and defense. We will also list down some basic rules of the game which will help you play the game. ![]() Our Tetris 99 Beginner’s Guide will explain three most important aspects of Tetris 99 to you which include attack, defense and mastering the T-Spin which is an advanced move which can really send some pain to your opponent…opponent’s blocks. Yet, here we are writing this guide and sharing some important rules along with tips and tricks on how you can dominate your enemies in this block breaking battle royale. Tetris 99 is a completely new take on battle royale that no one expected. In this Tetris 99 Beginner’s Guide, we will guide you on some basic mechanics of Tetris 99 and how you can actually play the game. A big reason has been the play of goalkeeper Jane Campbell, who’s made 15 saves. They’ve conceded just twice in four games and have yet to allow multiple goals in the same contest. They earned a draw at Portland, the only non-win for the defending champs this season, and beat Chicago on the road. They opened the season with a home draw against Louisville and have yet to play another home regular season match until this coming Friday. Houston is one of three clubs yet to lose a regular season match in 2023 with three draws and a win. The Dash played under the same east coast storm cell as the Courage last Saturday, playing to scoreless draw with the Spirit under a driving rain at Audi Field. The last Courage win in Houston came on J(5-2). The Courage have not beaten Houston in a regular season matchup since September 17, 2019, although they did pick up a win in the 2020 Fall Series. While the Courage hold the lifetime advantage, the recent history favors Houston. In 2022, the teams played to a 1-1 draw in Houston before a 4-3 Dash win in Cary. ![]() The Courage are 8W-4L-2D against Houston in all lifetime competitions, going 0-1-1 last season. As this team looks to find the finishing touches and learn from some early mistakes, the foundation being laid is proving solid and, mixing this with outstanding chemistry and comradery, should lead to positive results. Learning a new style with a new roster is no easy task and requires patience from players, coaches and staff. The progress has certainly been noteworthy with possession and passing among the best in the league. ![]() One of the youngest rosters in the league, which has seen seven players make NWSL debuts this season, has had several early tests and lessons. Denise O’Sullivan scored in the 90+9’ to salvage a draw in Orlando despite a dominant stat sheet, then a two-hour lightning delay amid a rainy night saw a late 1-0 loss to Gotham FC. The team started in Orlando for UKG NWSL Challenge Cup play then went up to North Jersey to resume regular season action. A narrow home loss, on a controversial second-half penalty, to the Washington Spirit preceded a long travel week. The Courage are looking to snap a three-game regular season losing streak after a clean sheet win in the season opener. The match will stream live on Paramount+ and social media channels will provide live updates and insights before, during and after the match. Social Media: (April 27, 2023) - The North Carolina Courage wrap up a three-game road trip as they visit the Houston Dash on Friday, April 28, for an 8:30 p.m. Broadcast: Paramount+ (PXP: Maura Sheridan, Analyst: Jordan Angeli) Fans can stream the postgame presser via the Washington Spirit Twitch channel. Following the match, the Spirit will host a press conference with assistant coach Angela Salem and two players. The match will be broadcast on Paramount+ for fans in the United States and on Twitch for international viewers. With more than twice as much time off since its last match as its opponent, the Spirit will try to take advantage of its edge in rest and recovery time to earn three points for the first time in nearly four months. ![]() Since Washington’s last match, the Dash has played three times, earning one win, one loss and one draw. The recent addition of defender Caprice Dydasco will likely add to Houston’s stout defense as well. ![]() Houston’s +8 scoring margin is good for third-best in the league so far and means the Spirit’s second consecutive match against a top-three attacking third. The Dash ranks third in the NWSL in goals scored with 29 as well as in the top half of the league in goals allowed at just 21. Coming off a heartbreaking loss to Portland Thorns FC in which the Spirit conceded two goals after the 83rd minute, Washington will again look to snap its 17-match winless streak.Īfter a scoring explosion in the attacking third in the Spirit’s July 29 match in North Carolina in which both sides put up three goals, Washington has managed just one offensive goal in its past two contests with its only score against Thorns FC coming by way of an own goal. Defender Kelley O’Hara will miss Saturday night’s action as well as she recovers from a lingering hip injury. The Spirit will still be without midfielder/defender Julia Roddar, who suffered a knee injury in the July 10 match against Kansas City, and defender Emily Sonnett, whose foot injury sustained while on international duty has been deemed a season-ending one. After not facing Houston in almost ten months, Washington will meet the Dash twice in its final six regular season matches of 2022 over the course of five weeks. In its first match in 17 days, the Spirit will be taking on the Houston Dash for the first time this season. Houston, TX () – The Washington Spirit will take on the Houston Dash on Saturday night in the side’s first matchup with the team from Texas since last season’s regular season finale on Halloween. ![]() I don't use tracks at all for quantum storage (I find setting up tracks and moving minecarts around not worth the effort in 99% of storage scenarios TBH), but the method is the same for you whether you use tracks or no.ġ/ Build a Stop (b-C-S). This is how I build my minecart quantum stockpiles. ![]() If you're loading "light" items of which the minecart can hold a *lot* you want the departure condition set to a lower percentage to avoid getting message spam and canceled tasks from items being inside the minecart and thus unavailable. I have 3-4 set up in my current fortress to concentrate things in the right places of the industrial complex. There are probably even more compact designs, but these are working very well for me. The Track Stop side has a stop with a departure order of "Guide east when empty of any items" to have it moved back to the collecting side. You then set a departure order for the stop like "Guide west when full of desired items" to have the cart moved into the Track Stop where it will promptly dump. Cart "desired items" (looks just like stockpile definitions) is set to get the same items as the stockpile and set to take materials from the collecting stockpile. The side next to the collecting stockpile gets a stop defined for pickup. You then designate a hauling route on the two tiles of track. It's job is to collect materials if it's heavy stuff like stone, logs, or ore I usually assign the max three wheelbarrows. On the other side I build a larger stockpile with the same settings. Set the stockpile to hold whatever you expect to dump there. You then build a 1x1 stockpile in the spot the track stop will dump onto. One Stop is set to dump in a particular direction when constructed. My two tile quantum dumps are a stretch of carved track 2 tiles long with Track Stops built on top of both tiles. The Stops are normally built on top of track. A "stop" indicated on track routes is just a place where dwarves will load and unload from the cart and does not have to be a b+C+S constructed stop. When you build them you set whether or not a car arriving there will dump, and in which direction. ![]() GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) aggregate data measured educational collaborators.USGS (United States Geographical Survey) high-resolution imagery of the U.S.MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) feeds of time-relevant events like wildfires, storms, and volcanos.NASA SVS (Scientific Visualization Studio) animations of earth science phenomena.STRM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) topological maps showing elevation data.Landsat 7, the primary satellite image mosaic, including data outside the visible light spectrum. ![]() Blue Marble, the high-resolution composite photograph of the entire globe.On the other hand, the project’s background in scientific visualization means it can handle more complicated tasks, and there are far more data sources built in. By some accounts it is less polished than Google Earth - the primary image data comes from Landsat 7, which has less resolution than the Keyhole commercial imagery. World Wind, by contrast, is open source and available now. Similarly, even though Google has published the specification for KML (Keyhole Markup Language), programmers have no access to the client or server source code to add additional functionality. A Linux/NetBSD/Plan9 port might be technically possible, but nothing can be done about it. The combination of these facts lead some to speculate that a Linux port is not only technically viable but perhaps underway in some secret back room at the Googleplex. Furthermore, the Google Earth Fusion component of the enterprise corporate package already runs on Linux. Google Earth can use either OpenGL or DirectX as its 3D toolkit, and the System Requirements page has long touted the claim that a Mac OS X-native version of the application is being worked on. ![]() The Earthviewer 3D was redubbed Google Earth in May and released at three price points: free (basic), $20 per year (“Plus”) and $400 per year (“Pro”). Keyhole was founded in 2001, released its first product in 2003, and was purchased by Google in October 2004. It relies primarily on commercial satellite images from one to two years ago. Google Earth, you may recall, is a re-branding of Keyhole, Inc.’s Earthviewer product. The only difference is that World Wind is open source. Zoom in and look for your childhood home, fly past your favorite landmarks, study the coastlines for continental drift - you have all of the same options. NASA’s World Wind project - like Google Earth - is a 3D planetary visualization system that overlays satellite imagery, weather, political, and topological map data. In some respects the search engine behemoth is quite OS-agnostic, but the 3D virtual globe remains limited to Windows desktops only. Some of the app's 3D renderings are very highly detailed, but only for a short list of specific places, like Death Valley.Īt this point, though, we can't recommend bothering with World Wind when there are better functioning, more customizable global-mapping programs out there.Few of Google’s projects, rumors of projects, and acquisitions have generated as much envy among Linux users as Google Earth. You can also look beyond Earth to other planets in the solar system. The Lewis & Clark Trail feature worked, as did the Landmark toggle, the switch from orthographic to topographic renderings, and the Zoom function, so there is hope. No combination of settings could get the real-time weather maps to show up, nor did the Astrobiology Field Guide do anything at all, despite the cool name. More than half of those toolbar functions did not work, or were taking so long to render that we had to move on to other things-like sleep. Less cluttered than Google Earth, with a simple toolbar array of clickable icons that enlarge when you mouse over them, World Wind's promising interface belied too many problems. Unfortunately, it fell flatter than a collapsed playing-card house. NASA being the big name that it is, we expected its 3D global-imaging program to be made of sterner stuff.
