Critics also praised the improvements to Windows 10's bundled software over Windows 8.1, Xbox Live integration, as well as the functionality and capabilities of the Cortana personal assistant and the replacement of Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge. Critics praised Microsoft's decision to provide the desktop-oriented interface in line with previous versions of Windows, contrasting the tablet-oriented approach of Windows 8, although Windows 10's touch-oriented user interface mode was criticized for containing regressions upon the touch-oriented interface of its predecessor. Windows 10 received generally positive reviews upon its original release. In June 2021, Microsoft announced that support for Windows 10 editions which are not in the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) will end on October 14, 2025. Devices in enterprise environments can receive these updates at a slower pace, or use long-term support milestones that only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their ten-year lifespan of extended support. ![]() Windows 10 receives new builds on an ongoing basis, which are available at no additional cost to users, in addition to additional test builds of Windows 10, which are available to Windows Insiders. Windows 10 was made available for download via MSDN and TechNet, as a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users via the Windows Store, and to Windows 7 users via Windows Update. It was released to manufacturing on July 15, 2015, and later to retail on July 29, 2015.

![]() ![]() Solar batteries, particularly those that are part of a solar battery pack are built to endure natural elements such as sunlight, cold, and moisture. Add to this the low operational cost since they can be charged using just solar energy, and it is easy to see how their benefits make the higher initial cost a worthy investment. So, prices are going down and will continue to head south in the future. ![]() Moreover, the technologies used for manufacturing solar batteries are constantly improving. However, their higher capacity and longer lifespan mean they can be used more frequently and for longer. Solar rechargeable batteries are undoubtedly more expensive than regular rechargeable batteries. And that's just at peak capacity, which means that even after about 4-5 years of use these batteries will continue to function at 70% capacity. Plus, they have twice the lifespan at 1000-2000 cycles. In fact, some can go on for several hours on a single full charge. In contrast, solar rechargeable batteries that work on lithium-ion technology have considerably larger storage capacity. This means that these batteries could easily go through 3 or more cycles per day, which would put their realistic lifespan at no more than 1 year. However, given their limited power storage capacity, one full charge will seldom last more than a few hours. Overall, the lifespan of these rechargeable batteries is about 500-1000 cycles of charge-discharge. LifespanĪ NiCad battery has around 1.5 years of usable life at peak capacity, meaning that after this point, the battery will often only get half charged till it eventually degrades completely around the 3-year mark.Ī NiMH battery operates on a similar principle offering around three years at peak capacity with deterioration in performance until up to 5 years. Regular rechargeable batteries don't have such features, which means that their discharge rate is only suitable for low-power devices. In terms of appliances, this would equate to an operation time of 10 plus hours for a 90-100 W mini fridge or over 2 hours for a 550 W rice cooker.Īlso, most solar power batteries have variable charge and discharge rates, which allows them to be charged quickly and gives them the ability to support load-hungry applications such as appliances with heating elements and even power tools.Īlso, high-end solar batteries have varying charge rates based on the power supply used for charging. This means that if you have a battery of 1500 Wh, it will provide 1500 W of power for 1 hour. This is basically the way to measure the rate at which a battery will charge/discharge the power it holds.Ĭ-rate = Discharge current/Rated capacity of the battery The discharge rate of batteries, including solar batteries, is given with the unit C-rate. In addition to these, some of the other notable functional differences between solar batteries and rechargeable batteries include: Discharge Rate In contrast, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which bring superior technology to the table, often come with indicator panels of some kind that tell the user about the remaining charge and time to full charge. ![]() Also, as they run out of charge, NiMH batteries tend to cut power suddenly and not in the trickle-down manner that is common in Nicad batteries and even regular alkaline batteries. That said, of these two, NiMH has 3 to 4 times the capacity of Nicad, yet it is no match to Li-ion batteries. They are typically smaller in size and capacity and certainly not as environmentally friendly as lithium-ion batteries. So, they can be used in a wide range of applications.Īs opposed to this, most regular rechargeable batteries are either Nicad (Nickel-cadmium) or NiMH (Nickel- metal hydride). Lithium-ion batteries are available in a range of sizes and power capacities, as well as in portable and non-portable models. They are lightweight, offer greater efficiency, require very little maintenance, and boast a significantly longer lifespan. How are Solar Batteries and Normal Batteries Different?Īlthough deep-cycle batteries of 3 types are used in solar power systems, lithium-ion products are the preferred option. So, continue reading to know how solar rechargeable batteries differ from regular rechargeable batteries and how to choose the right kind of battery for your requirement. The power source that a battery requires to generate the electric charge and how it stores the power generated makes a difference not just to its specifications but also to its lifespan, usage, capacity, and other functional factors. But, in regular rechargeable batteries, this chemical process can be reversed and re-initiated. ![]() ![]() The series finally returned on February 15, 2020, where Stampy revealed why he discontinued the series and, in the next stream, transferred his character to the updated Xbox One edition. This however is very unlikely to occur due to the Xbox 360 version (the console he plays the game on) being no longer supported by developer Re-Logic. The series is unconfirmed to be discontinued, but the delay may just mean he is waiting for the 1.3 console update. The series currently has 163 episodes and 7 livestreams as of 19th March 2020. The final episode of Terraria was uploaded on 22nd October 2016 before he went on a long hiatus on the series. Lego The Hobbit eventually became a temporary replacement to Terraria. The majority of viewers that took part voted for the third option, and thus Stampy would upload a new series to be broadcast to take the place of Terraria until the issues were fixed. A public vote was given to the future of the series which involved three choices: (1) to continue playing the game offline, (2) to risk getting the update or (3) to wait until the issues were fixed by the game's developers (Re-Logic). The first episode was uploaded on 27th March 2013.Īn announcement video was uploaded on 28th April 2014, where he announced that the new update at the time, version 1.2, had kept messing around with existing worlds, thus affecting the gameplay greatly. Since then they no longer appeared in his videos, and thus, Stampy is playing the game by himself. Stampy was usually joined by Lee in every episode, along with other guest appearances from other 'helpers', like the Lovely World. The other was the “World of Wonder”, his new and the current world that he plays on upon the transfer of his character to Xbox One. One was “Stampy's Wonderful World”, the world he had played in during the series' run on the Xbox 360. Stampy has played primarily on two worlds in the series. The series is a 'Sandbox Series' which means the episodes are created with no real objective or mission, much like the Lovely World videos.Īs the title suggests all videos are set inside the Xbox 360 video game 'Terraria', the 2D survival game by ‘Re-Logic’. Despite being an Expert-exclusive item, its rarity is 10*.Unlike most other pets and light pets, the light pet summoned by the Suspicious Looking Tentacle is named like the item instead of like the buff.This light pet looks similar to the Suspicious Eye pet, which is summoned with an item dropped by the Eye of Cthulhu in Master Mode.Similar to the Suspicious Looking Apple, the Suspicious Looking Tentacle is named as if it were a boss-summoning item instead of a pet-summoning item.This light pet looks exactly like a smaller version of the True Eye of Cthulhu, an enemy summoned by the Moon Lord.Furthermore, it may have a hard time keeping up with the player at high speeds, whereas the Wisp can teleport to the player and the Fairy Princess is always positioned behind the player's back. However, it lacks the Wisp's ability to move around the screen based on the player's direction input. The Suspicious Looking Tentacle is generally considered better since it exposes nearby treasure and enemies. The Suspicious Looking Tentacle is one of the three light pets that provide the most light, the others being the Wisp in a Bottle and Fairy Princess.This includes Granite Golems, Jellyfish, Granite Elementals, and Biome Mimics. ![]() ![]() The Suspicious Looking Tentacle cannot detect any enemy in an invulnerable period or state. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not forgetting that expectations and reputation can be morphed through personal bias’, subjectivities and the natural ‘filters’ we all have on the world. While I wouldn’t say “you have complete control over what the people around you expect from you” I would argue we have a large degree of influence over how other’s perceive us through the calculated control over how we display our character. I really like this idea because it shifts responsibility to the ‘self’ and doesn’t look to blame other’s for thing’s outside of their control. Their perceptions are controlled by the way that you present yourself.” ~ Dre Baldwin ![]() The more people who are perceiving you and treating you a certain way based on a perception which you provided for them, the more your actions and thoughts will morph to match the expectations of the people around you.” … “You have complete control over what the people around you expect from you, because their expectations can only be based on their perceptions. So when you present yourself to someone as a ‘super high confidence individual’, people have no choice but to perceive you as such. “Humans don’t have the mental capacity to question every single detail of every single thing presented to us on a daily basis. We can control a large degree of how we appear, which in turn reflects a large degree of how others perceive us. But how do we do this when we’re relying on other people’s minds and action’s which are largely out of our control? Or are they…it’s as simple as controlling appearances. This is why it’s critical to be aware and in control of how you are perceived. This is the reason for the supreme importance of making and maintaining a reputation that is of your own creation.” One false slip, one awkward or sudden change in your appearance can prove disastrous. “In the social realm, appearances are the barometer of almost all of our judgments, and you must never be misled into believing otherwise. ![]() It can put a vast army on the defensive, even force them into retreat, without a single arrow being fired. This reputation was as powerful as any weapon, it struck fear into his enemy. One who always had a trick up his sleeve. Chuko cultivated a reputation of being the cleverest man in China. But so great was his fear of Liang that he dared not risk finding out.Ĭhuko Liang was commonly known throughout Asia as ‘the sleeping dragon’.He was known for this by turning previous traitors into his own puppets for power and capturing cities by tricking his enemies. The game was so obvious that for the one moment it crossed Yi’s mind that Liang actually was alone and desperate. The man was obviously taunting him daring him to walk into a trap, that didn’t exist. ![]() So when he arrived to find Chuko sitting at the head of his gate with no army behind him he was stunned. Simi Yi had fought Chuko Liang dozens of times, so he knew him well. Even so, as his soldiers itched to enter the unguarded town through the open gates, Sima Yi hesitated, he held them back, and studied Liang on the wall and proceeded to order an immediate and speedy retreat… Why would Sima Yi order a retreat when he had such a sizable advantage? Interpretation At it’s head was Simi Yi, who instantly recognised the man on the wall. Pretending not to notice he continued to sing and play the lute. ![]() ![]() ![]() The ironic thing is that the spotify app itself that's on this iPad is disabled, and you can't use spotify web player with the most up to date versions of the browsers on this ipad either. I wouldn't purchase an old ipad for this use because I'm sure at some point it will stop working. Note of course you cannot make local recordings of sets that use streamed tracks. ![]() I would have thought that Spotify would (and could) have revoked either a login or playback certificate by now, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems that the old app still has support for all my playlists and tracks. Spotify integration is still in this old version of Djay - When I used my credentials I was logged right in. This unlocks the ability to install the last installable software version on outdated iOS.Īs I hoped, the app store successfully installed iOS version 2.8.25. To circumvent this, I installed DJay on my current iPhone. Of course the current version of Djay isn't supported on the iPad 4 which itself can't be upgraded above iOS10.3.3. I'm planning to use it with Djay pro or Traktor on the PC, but on a whim I installed Djay on my ancient iPad 4. I just purchased a reloop mixtour as my mini controller with transport controls.

![]() ![]() Echo has to wait around for EU reset, and this tier they even had time to hop onto NA servers just so they can start gathering data on throwaway NA chars (while Liquid was gathering the same data progging their actual live characters with gear they got to keep). NA get their start at 8pm CET, EU get their start at 5am CET the next day, so there is obviously a headstart, none of the guids even debate that. What do you mean it does't matter? Of course it matters when it's a world first race, not a world fastest race.

The table of contents below and at the bottom of each page shows Obduction in its entirety.Įach guide page flows into the next, and you can use the quick navigation box just above the tables of contents to hop to the previous or next area. So I tried that, which of course didn't work, since it only gave a four digit code (using the values from the Villein panel), but I liked the equation idea, which meant I needed to find some. The slow unfolding of revelations is a strong similarity, but in Obduction those revelations are about an explicit and ever-present narrative while in The Witness they are about game mechanics and competing/cooperating philosophies.

There is a matter of concern I must address before I continue on with this review. Tekken is a whole different ball game than Street Fighter, so the question is how Capcom has done in merging these two franchises and combatting the problem in their latest crossover game? One word – superbly! It’s a game where things like Hadoukens don’t exist and juggles reign supreme. Tekken is a series with philosophies that are based around a 3D environment, allowing you to manipulate your character in 3 full dimensions rather than just towards and backwards. There was one thing in common with the crossover games mentioned – all their mechanics and gameplay were based around the principle of 2D fighting. SNK has been involved too in the past, with Capcom creating two Capcom vs. Right now, they have Marvel characters fighting off with the cast from some well-known Capcom games. How times have changed, because right now I’ve just had the pleasure of taking down King with some EX-Tatsumaki skills from Ken, and I felt so damn awesome while doing it.Ĭapcom is no stranger to the world of crossovers. Amusingly, if you had asked me five years ago if a game would come out that would let you pit the best of the Street Fighter characters against that of the Tekken cast, I would have humbly laughed in your face. I have a deep affection for them, and have played most of the franchises that dedicate themselves to letting you beat up the opposition in whatever manner is available. ![]() If there’s one thing I do love playing in the world of gaming, it’s fighting games. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nick would then just jam to it, and we'd come up with an interesting rhythm part. ![]() Launay described a typical session: "Brian would play lots of different drumbeats and we'd record it, chop it up and then make a groove loop out of it. The few songs the band took to the first sessions were altered significantly. The vintage ARP synthesizer that he carried with him to the Tornillo studios in the west Texan desert was supposed to provide downtime entertainment, but ended up being the defining noise on It's Blitz!." Īccording to coproducer Nick Launay, the album was unusual for being largely written and created in the studio at a time when record labels had cut back considerably on production budgets. "When Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner packed his bang for the band's trip to the studio…" wrote John Doran in Classic Rock, "he made a random decision that would completely change their direction. It's Blitz! was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2010 Grammy Awards. It spawned three singles: " Zero", " Heads Will Roll", and " Skeletons". The album was produced by Nick Launay, along with TV on the Radio's David Andrew Sitek. However, after being leaked to the Internet on February 22, the release date was pushed forward to March 9 for the digital version and March 31 for the physical version. It was originally set for release on April 13, 2009. ![]() The album will be available on limited edition black/red marbled vinyl, with a scratch and sniff sleeve.It's Blitz! is the third studio album by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released on March 6, 2009, by Interscope Records. With its more elaborate and nuanced yet harder-hitting sonic palette, the result is a selection of songs radiating both raw sensitivity and untamable power, and a record that the band’s Arrow de Wilde says, “encapsulates all the blood, sweat, bruised knees, and broken fingers of a Starcrawler show.” Pre-order Devour You, out October 11th on Rough Trade, HERE.
