You can, once again, connect to the optimal server but if you don’t want that, you can click on the arrow pointing to the right, next to Optimal Location. It’s pretty simplistic and quite different than the one on the PC. The app’s home screen is shown in image 3. While the app on the PC has a 7-day free trial that you can download, this one also allows that but requires credit card info. If you don’t know how it looks, look at image 1:ĭownload the app, install it, and boot it up. The first thing is to download the app from the Google Play Store. As we always do, we’ll use our Android device to see how the app looks and if it’s easy to use. Now, what about smartphones and tablets? For the start, Avast SecureLine supports iOS and Android. As you can see, you can connect with a single click if you want to use the optimal location. All in all, the app is simple, looks great, and is easy to use. To connect, click on the country you want, choose the server, and the app will do that for you. To connect to a server from Avast SecureLine, click on the red button with the X on it:īoom – you’re connected! Wait, you want to change your location? To do that, click on the ‘Change Location’ button located below and the server list will open: Okay, enough complaining – tell us how to connect, Monkey! Watch and learn. Furthermore, you can’t reduce the size of the window, so it’ll just stand there unless you minimize it. The first thing you’re going to notice is that there isn’t a button to go into the full-screen mode. The process lasts a few seconds, which is blazing-fast, and after that, you finally get to try the app. The next screen looks like this:Ĭhoose where to install it, click Next, and then, click Install. But, we all know how many people actually read this stuff. If you have the time to read through it, then go on. To proceed, you’ll need to accept the agreement. We downloaded the app setup file and used a Windows 10 computer to install it. Nevertheless, after you get a subscription, downloading the apps you need is easy. Strangely, Linux isn’t on the list, which is another minus. If you’re going to use a VPN on your computer, know that you can install this one on your macOS or Windows PC. After all, Avast SecureLine is not in our ranking of the best VPNs of 2021, and that’s for a reason. That’s all good but we don’t see many other devices, which is a shame.Įven cheaper VPNs than this one support routers, for instance, and this one is limited to only a couple of them. As you can see, you get Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Android TV. The provider gives you its whole device support in a single sentence. Here’s the screenshot from the provider’s website: Avast is definitely a highly valuable company, so we have pretty high expectations. The more devices the provider supports, the better it is in this regard. Without further ado, let’ see what this provider is about. Is it fast? Is it safe and secure? Does it allow torrenting? These are all the questions we’re going to be discussing down below. But, since we talk about this software as a whole, it also needs to impress us with its performance in general. Needless to say, these habits will quickly demolish your privacy and online identity, exposing it to the prying eyes of the government. Some of you may know, but countries inside this alliance are known for government surveillance and data-retention laws. Given that the company is from the United States, which means 14 Eyes jurisdiction, users are very hesitant when it comes to buying it. What is Avast SecureLine?Īs we just said, Avast SecureLine is a VPN provider that, in its words, focuses on privacy and security. This is a comprehensive review of Avast SecureLine, so stay with us to see if it’s worth the shot. With the company’s reputation, this VPN should be good, right? Well, that’s what we’re about to see today. As of recently, this company extended its business model to another cybersecurity branch – Virtual Private Network. Its antivirus is perhaps one of the best in the business, up there with its rival Kaspersky. Avast is a well-known company in the world of cybersecurity. So people might be burnt out by the genre. Problem is, there is too much sci-fi already in the mobile game market nowadays. If the competitor comes out and do different stuff, people wouldn't like it.įor example, sci-fi instead of fantasy. It's almost impossible for a direct competitor (in the genre and gameplay) to appear, unfortunately.

Little did I know that even these basic things are dumbed down versions of tasks I would later partake in, building towards what I think is an extremely smart gameplay direction. I found it fun in the daftest things like trying to crack the safe code, shooting some hoops in my bedroom and investigating the intricacies of the in-room computer system. While it sounds pointless and time-consuming to undertake these tasks its ultimately ushers you through like a ubiquitous tutorial mode, and with exploration and an eye for curiosity, it can prove very rewarding. Drinks cans need the ring-pull heaved off to open it, running a bath needs the plug down, water on, and bubble bath liberally added, and popping on a hat or glasses requires you to decide which ones and simulate placing them on your bonce. Every action you perform is 1:1 in relation to what you would do in the real world if you were performing the same task. It's incredibly satisfying to grab a bottle, twist off the cap, pour one out, pop in a tiny umbrella, and chug it back. Interacting with objects is also as you would expect, using the triggers to grab, twisting to twist and flinging and releasing the trigger to throw. The control system is exceptionally intuitive, with look-and-click teleportation movement making it incredibly easy to navigate the scenery. You can expect to design your character within the game, have a bath, shave, brush your teeth, read some books for hints and tips, and explore your digs. Vacation Simulator’s Back to JOB update will arrive for free on all supported headsets this fall, which includes SteamVR headsets, Oculus Quest, and PSVR (see update).Vacation Simulator is the third PSVR outing by Owlchemy Labs, following the comedically impressive Job Simulator and the comedically insane Rick and Morty Virtual Rick-ality, and as it's lineage before it, Vacation Simulator does not fail to impress with its lush clean graphical styling and its undulating waves of hilarity and hijinks.Īfter picking your save slot you being the game in your hotel room, engaging yourself with a range of physics-based and relatively mundane, yet hugely engaging tasks.

I think those that are playing Warframe on PC that I ve met they are playing through steam or something else. Moreover, I don't think I have ever played with someone from Xbox or Windows. We are exclusively sending friend request, invitations and other things through only Warframe. It happens sometimes on PlayStation too that when you invite someone, you are actually sending them an invite through the Playstation system, but not in this case. I don't know what you mean by saying the Live system is making cross friend list delayed? It has to do with Sony and Windows having to come to some type of agreement to allow each others Networks to speak to each other and that isn't an easy task, more so because of Politics and less because of the Technical issues.įrom my perspective, Xbox and Windows have this unique way to send invites. If you have a Windows Pc or a Phone anyone can create a Live Acct for free and use the Xbox App. It is not perfect for sure but it does allow us to send game invites and party invites when needed but only through the Xbox App. My friend has installed on his PC the Windows XBox App Which allows him to send party invites and game invites through the Xbox App because we both have Live Accounts.Įverything has to be through the App because he wont show in my friends list inside the Warframe friends list, only in my Xbox Friends list on the Console itself. I am on Xbox Console and have a Live Account On PlayStation we have that friend list only for ingame, I need to add them twice if I want them as a friend in both ingame and playstation friend list.īut I guess the Live system is actually the one thing that maybe is making cross friend list delayed if I got your explanation right. So you mean that when you send a friend request to someone it goes through the Xbox Live system? Anyway, until they have something more universal with friends all interconnected across platforms, using Live ( or Discord? ) are the only options I think we have now. I think discord is another way to connect but I'm not a fan of it and already have too many social accounts so I don't really use it. If you use Windows, odds are you already have a Live account that you can use to connect to friends across other platforms and/or consoles, you just need the Xbox Live App on the phone or PC to be able to connect with them. It's not perfect by any means but it does allow me to invite PC friends to join my Squad on Xbox or to a party. You can add friends that are on the Xbox App on the PC to your Xbox friends list but only manually as you can't search for PC users, at least not yet. All Live accounts can see and communicate with each other through the Xbox App via a Mobile App, Windows App, or Xbox directly. I don't no much about a PSN account but because Microsoft created Windows and most if not all people who use Windows create a Live Account, most players have a Live account even if they don't play XBox specifically. The only way to do it currently is if the friends have a Live Account and the Xbox App on Phone. Is it not possible to have at the very least a cross play friend list (not even asking for cross play clans) before the cross save? No way to continue to play with them if you didn't play with them recently or you don't remember their nickname. I met many people who were playing on PC that were giving me advices, but that was it. Why is there no way to add them as a friend? You can invite players from different devices, you can message with them and make a team with them. There are some cheaper, but much more plasticky sets from Opteka, Zeikos and others ($40 to $65). Kenko sells a set that's similar quality and includes 12mm, 20mm and 36mm ($130). Canon sells individual tubes only: 12mm ($85) and 25mm ($145). You could just get a set of macro extension tubes and use those with lenses you already have, to get pretty high magnification shots. It depends upon how "cheap" you want to get. I like my EF 28/1.8 and EF 20/2.8 better on crop than on full frame (though they aren't bad on both, especially if stopped down a little. With some other lenses, it's more obvious. Very little drop off in resolutions even at the extremes. those are sharp corner to corner, "flat field" lneses designed to be very sharp across the whole image area even at close focusing distances. However, with the EF 100mm Macro lenses in particular. But it might be that some of the softer corners are "trimmed off" and the smaller sensor camera uses the "best part" of the lens. There is no improvement of lens sharpness using a full frame (EF) lens on a crop sensor camera. On the other hand, full frame EF lenses are not. You have to remember EF-S lenses are designed to concentrate and center all the light on to the sensor. This same situation holds true comparing the alslo fantastic EF 70-200mm f2.8. So in this case and many, many others the FF was less sharp than its similar EF-S lens. For instance the fantastic EF 24-70mm f2.8 can deliver 14 Pmp on a 5D Mk III camera. You would need to compare the preceptual MP put on the sensor by each lens to determine this. This debate on whether FF lenses are sharper on crop bodies has gone on as long as there have been crop bodies. Since the edges are always the worst part of the image (less sharp, more dark vignetting) you are gettin the sweet center spot of every shot you take."Īnd of course this is false. "He bigger image circle of the full frame lens splashes over the outside of the smaller crop sensor, so that crops the edges off of the image. This 100mm lens could also do portraits well, though being equal in field of view to a 160mm lens you will need to stand back an extra few steps. Since the edges are always the worst part of the image (less sharp, more dark vignetting) you are gettin the sweet center spot of every shot you take. He bigger image circle of the full frame lens splashes over the outside of the smaller crop sensor, so that crops the edges off of the image. The minimum focus distance of 7.8 inches for the 60mm and a bit over 1 foot for the 100mm are measured from the camera's sensor, not from the end of the lens, so to get absolute full max enlargement on the 60mm, the end of the lens will only be about 4 inches from the subject, while it will be 8 or 9 inches away with the 100mm.Īlso, you get a nice little "cheat" in image quality whenever you put a full frame EF lens on an EF-s crop body. It is nice not to have the end of the lens just a few inches from the subject, especially if the subject is a live bug that could get spooked by the invasion of his space. It has the added bonus of being a good focal length for portraits (on a rebel) so you can get 2 uses from the lens, as its field of view is equivalent to 96 mm, which is perfect for portraits.įor just a little more, you can get the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro for $550.00. The 100mm lens will give you more working distance between you and the subject. The EF-s 60mm is a good bargain selection for about $420.00. Tube Logic design approach produces class-defying power, authoritative punch, and cutting presence.Stage-ready 50-watt combo amp with a custom 12-inch speaker.If you own a first-generation Boss Katana, it’s also possible to import your custom patches and use them all with a Katana MkII! Key Features Boss has also made a dedicated 'Pedal FX' category, which makes it easier to assign wah and pedal bend effects to a connected expression pedal. Boss 'Tone Studio' UpdatesĪlongside the evolution of their Katana amps, Boss has also evolved its accompanying Tone Studio software. Featuring a refreshed interface, a number of parameters have been consolidated into the main screen to enhance workflow for users. Two-channel USB operation is also supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of the Katana MkII's modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects - for an engulfing, three-dimensional sound. This direct sound can be shaped with three different 'Air Feel' settings, which are accessible from the Tone Studio too. This lets you send mix-ready amp tones to a computer's DAW for direct recording, headphones for silent practice, or even a front-of-house PA system for live performance. The Katana 50 MkII features USB and phones/recording outputs with mic’d cabinet emulation. With Boss' Tone Studio software, you can also optimise the input to suit your particular gear with a high-pass filter and adjustable gain. However, it can also be used as a powered cabinet for preamp pedals, modellers and multi-effects units! With a 'Power Amp In' jack at the rear, you can bypass the Katana MkII’s preamp and effects, letting you connect straight into the Tube Logic power section. The Boss Katana 50 MkII is an incredible, feature-rich standalone amp. Simply dial in your favoured sound, and use the dedicated 'Panel' button to save and store. Four preset slots (two banks of two) are available, which can be switched on the control panel or via a compatible external footswitch (sold separately). With incredible digital processing power, the Boss Katana 50 MkII can also store your favourite amp and effects setups for instant recall. Independent boost, modulation, FX, delay, and reverb sections come loaded from the factory, and with three variations of each, you have 15 ready-to-play effects to choose from! And by connecting to the accompanying Boss Tone Studio software via USB, you can dive much deeper and customise the sections with over 60 different effect types. Change the order with four different effects chains, and deep-edit parameters. Taking it to the next level with the MkII series, you can now use five different effects simultaneously rather than just three - giving you the power of a massive pedalboard inside your amp! Diverse Built-In Effectsīoss are most renowned for their guitar pedals, and the company has crammed a bunch of its high-quality effects into its Katana amplifiers. There's even a dedicated voice that's optimised for electro-acoustic guitars! And with Boss' Tube Logic technology, the Katana 50 MkII delivers the convincing feel and harmonic content of genuine tube amplifiers. If you're unfamiliar with the Katana's amp types, this immensely versatile combo offers five primary amp sounds that cover everything from organic vintage clean tones to modern high-gain onslaught. Newly-voiced variations are now available for all five amp characters, ultimately doubling the amount of tones at your disposal! Changing their feel and response, this 'Variation' function can be engaged via a simple button placed above the 'Amp Type' control. Picking up where the originals left off, Boss has expanded the amount of sounds available to users with its Katana MkII amplifiers. They gave up their life for their country because it was their duty to follow commands, even the commands that led them straight to death. These men should not die in vain their honor and glory must be remembered. It was apparent to the world that these men walked directly into death. He repeats, “the world wondered” to reinforce the danger for generations of readers to come. In this final stanza, Tennyson calls for the readers to honor these soldiers. He also addresses the incredible feat that all 600 were not killed and that some of these men escaped the “jaws of death” and made it out of this battle alive. Some “rode back,” but not all of them.Īgain, the author stresses the cannons and chaos and addresses the inevitable both the soldier and the horse were killed. The last few lines reveal that some soldiers did survive and made it back. The only people who didn’t question were those soldiers who felt it was their duty to follow the command and not question. This stanza reveals the outcry of England as these soldiers charged to their death, the world wonders why they were commanded to do so. They used their swords to fight an unmatched enemy. Tennyson reveals that the Light Brigade did put up a fight. The poet describes the event, using a great deal of imagery with “Cannon to right of them,/ Cannon to left of them, / Cannon in front of them.” It’s chaotic and deadly, yet the soldiers road “well.” Tennyson again describes how the soldiers charged forward into “the jaws of death.” As a soldier, their job is to follow commands, and that is just what they did. The soldiers thought this must be a mistake, and yet we must not question the command and must follow it as directed. In the second stanza, Tennyson reveals the soldiers’ thoughts as they wonder if the command is a mistake. The “valley of death” becomes a refrain and is a nod to a passage in the Bible that states, “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” The soldiers acted without fear and bravely charged ahead. Most men were killed, causing an outcry in England the order was given in error. The “valley of death” is an allusion to a real event during the Crimean War. The author describes how 600 soldiers rode for 1.5 miles into known death. A league is a term for measurement, roughly 3 miles therefore, half a league is about 1.5 miles. The first four lines establish the form and theme of the poem. Through a line-by-line analysis, we can better appreciate the heroic story being told. Several literary devices were used in “The Charge of the Light Brigade.” ” Tennyson uses a metaphor when describing the battlefield as “the valley of death.” He also uses metonymy with the refrain “Rode the six hundred.” With “… the world wondered, “we see the “w” sound repeated and use of alliteration. There is some rhyme in the poem, although it is unpredictable with no particular rhyme scheme. The poem’s meter-dactylic dimeter sounds like galloping horses when several metrical substitutions conveying chaos. The poem consists of 55 lines, disproportionately divided into six stanzas. This poem is a tribute to these men’s bravery and their ability to face death head-on as they charged into the “valley of death.” Analysis of The Charge of the Light Brigade”, Alfred Lord Tennyson The assault continued with backs turned, and very few soldiers made it back alive. Equipped with only swords, they broke the enemy line before heading back. Their commander’s mistake was realized as all 600 soldiers were assaulted with fire, yet the soldiers charged forward. As soldiers, they followed orders and didn’t question the command. These 600 soldiers belonged to a British cavalry unit, called the “Light Brigade.” For one and a half miles, these soldiers charged forward to face enemy forces, a Russian artillery unit with their cannons and guns. The poem “ The Charge of the Light Brigade“ tells a story about 600 soldiers who rode into the “valley of death” as he describes a battle during the Crimean War. Noble six hundred! Summary of “The Charge of the Light Brigade”, Alfred Lord Tennyson In a briefing with PCWorld prior to the keynote, AMD’s Robert Hallock said these chips are intended to stand in as more affordable, non-“X” alternatives to the existing $300 Ryzen 5 5600X and $450 Ryzen 7 5800X in AMD’s kick-ass Ryzen 5000 lineup (though these APUs are built around the “Cezanne” CPU architecture that debuted in AMD’s also-kick-ass Ryzen 5000 Mobile chips).

This is supported by a coalition of companies including Valve and Red Hat, as well as other developers. However, it should be noted that Linux gamers and enthusiasts often benefit from improved support and performance from the Mesa RADV Vulkan driver. The new AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 Vulkan driver is available on GitHub. Correcting these incorrect UV coordinates ensures a more accurate rendering of textures in the “X-Plane 12” game. UV coordinates are critical for correct texturing of 3D models, and incorrect coordinates can cause visual errors and distortions. Source: GitHubĪnother issue fixed in this version of the AMDVLK driver was related to incorrect UV coordinates in the “X-Plane 12” flight simulator. These fixes will improve the gaming experience by preventing graphics errors and artifacts in these games. Among the issues fixed were corruption issues in the games “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus” and “Shadow of the Tomb Raider”. The AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 update also brings several bug fixes and improvements aimed at optimizing the driver’s performance and stability. These adjustments are aimed at improving the game’s graphics and overall performance on systems with AMD graphics cards, which can ultimately lead to a smoother and more engaging gaming experience. Furthermore, AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 also includes optimizations related to the performance of the popular game “Wolfenstein Youngblood”. This extension opens up advanced capabilities for modifying and manipulating image formats, which is especially useful for applications that process complex graphics or images. Source: phoronixĪnother notable addition in this release is the implementation of support for the Vulkan EXT_image_drm_format_modifier extension. This update ensures improved compatibility and interoperability with other Vulkan applications and drivers, which can support smoother operation. In addition, an update to the Vulkan 1.3.257 header has been performed. This will enable smooth integration of the latest AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Mobile/Laptop SoCs, resulting in optimized Vulkan performance on these specific devices. One of the significant changes in AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 is the integration of support for Phoenix APUs. This represents the first update since mid-June and brings several new features and improvements. AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 was released this morning as the latest update for AMD’s official open-source Radeon Vulkan Linux driver. The 2022 version also comes with built-in AI sky replacement and a fantastic noise reduction toolset which in my testing of noise reduction tools is better than Lightroom, or at least, easier to use. For example, it has a full and powerful layer editing system, the ability to add text to images, HDR and panorama merge capabilities, focus stacking, and a detailed portrait retouching tool. It also has a number of features that are either equivalent to, or better than, what you would find in Lightroom. There’s also a very clever retouching system which does an amazing job of removing unwanted elements from an image. You get all the detailed basic editing controls you would expect, as well as excellent masking controls to selectively apply each edit. In terms of editing, On1 Photo RAW has a lot going for it. In that respect, this offers functionality which is similar to Lightroom. You can also use the advanced search tool for all kinds of image filtering, from metadata to image size to keywords. I use a camera which has built-in GPS tagging, and I find this way of searching for photos from a trip to be very intuitive. This includes a map view similar to that of Lightroom which can show your GPS tagged images on a map. You get a comprehensive photo management application, which has powerful tools for sorting and finding your photos. On1 Photo RAW is, in my opinion, the most direct Lightroom alternative which is available without a subscription. Currently, there are less options available for other platforms, including Linux, but there are some options which I have included for Linux as well. So if you like the sound of one them, you can download it and test it out for yourself with no obligation to buy.įinally, all the options I list work with both Windows and Apple operating systems. These trials also don’t require any credit card details, although some require an e-mail address to get the download link. I’d also add that I have found that the paid products are easier to use than the free products, and there is more support available for them.Īll the applications I list have a free trial period which let you download them for a trial period, usually 30 days. I have included both paid and free Lightroom alternatives, although honestly there are not many free options on the market that really offer a similar experience.
