![]() This functionality allows for the preproduction of dynamic scene changes that can then be launched on the fly during a recording by changing from scene to scene. Within a particular project (called a “Profile” in OBS Studio), users can create multiple scenes with different sources and source layout. OBS Studio uses “Scenes” to store the arrangement or layout of sources. These sources can also be resized, cropped, and arranged on the canvas in any way you desire. OBS Studio supports configuration and recording of over 10 different types of sources (e.g., screen, camera, microphone, window, images, videos) and can record as many sources as can fit in the configurable recording canvas. Some of the unique features of OBS Studio include: Flexibility and Customizability of Sources For more advanced recordings, such as those requiring multiple distinct inputs, custom recording layouts, or changes in layout during the recording process, OBS Studio’s feature set and configurability make it an excellent alternative. Some of OBS Studio’s most basic uses include producing simple screen, webcam, and microphone recordings commonly created using other “screencasting” tools such as Kaltura Capture and Screencastify. There are also many support resources available on the Internet, including dedicated websites, social media channels, and YouTube videos devoted to using OBS Studio.

To their credit, it's a formula that seems to be working for the Cyprus-based game devs. ![]() But as War Thunder slowly but surely amassed an aerial repertoire no one else could hope to match, Wargaming must have thought it best to prioritize warship and tank combat. It almost feels like World of Warplanes may have once had grand ambitions ten years ago. That's despite the same suspect in-game economy. It's all the more disappointing because Wargaming's other two major games, World of Tanks and World of Warships, do a much higher-quality job with their target combat niches. Oh, and if you think you're going to sneak past Gaijin's predatory in-game economy, World of Warplanes uses almost the exact same model for their flight combat game. ![]() There's simply not the same level of crispness, refinement, or excitement during dogfights in World of Warplanes as the equivalent match in War Thunder.Īt least among the small sample size given to me by roughly seven or eight straight matches, it was easy for me to remember just why I uninstalled World of Warplanes from my PC x number of years ago. Not only do small caliber machine guns and autocannons not seem to impact with that the same ferocity as in War Thunder, but the damage system that deducts health points for each bullet impact instead of critical hits leaves something to be desired. If you're wondering, that's not a compliment on Wargaming's part. It's almost as if the quick, snappy control scheme of War Thunder's Air Arcade Battle mode was melded poorly to its more finicky and unforgiving Air Realistic Battle mode before being ported over into 's infrastructure. Dropping bombs and rockets with an IL-2 Sturmovik didn't feel all that great, either. The above-mentioned sub-par graphics compared to War Thunder certainly didn't help the decidedly sluggish and vague flight controls, no matter what aircraft I seemed to choose. As far as gameplay goes, it's a real mixed bag. So, I was stuck with mostly hum-drum biplanes and early mono-wing prop fighters as I geared up for my first sortie in ages. Sadly, I spent the last five years I could have been grinding for those sweet, juicy high-tier aircraft doing the exact same thing in War Thunder instead. Not so with World of Warplanes delightful little numbers like the Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack," Vought F7U Cutlass, Illyushin IL-8, IL-20, and IL-40, among others, do give you more incentive to at least give WoWP a shot. Historically, with a few exceptions, War Thunder focused almost exclusively on military aircraft that entered production and served operationally with its intended navy or air force. With more blurry, less defined textures and an overall grainy feel during gameplay, it's like someone took a round of War Thunder and ran it through one of those mods that make games playable on potato PCs.īut to Wargaming's credit, they did at least manage to feature a few airplanes that Gaijin has yet to implement in War Thunder. But on launching WoWP for the first time in what felt like years, there's a sense that, at least graphically, Wargaming's flight combat game comfortably falls behind War Thunder. Of course, it's pretty hard to model over 2,000 unique aircraft across ten separate tech trees as Gaijin Entertainment has when you don't have the king's share as a funding source. Using a similar tech-tree setup as War Thunder with tier I starting roughly in the early 1930s and stretching to the very earliest days of the jet age in the late 40s with tier X, WoWP's featured set of 300 aircraft across six different countries and a combined European tech tree doesn't quite match War Thunder in terms of scale. Announced at the E3 convention in 2011 and released worldwide in November 2013, World of Warplanes shared a release date within two months of War Thunder. Well, for those who didn't even know that Wargaming even made a flight combat game, here's a little recap. ![]() But because Gaijin and the War Thunder community may as well legitimately be at war with each other, what better time than now to retry some alternatives? It'd been over six years since I'd even had World of Warplanes installed on my main PC. Nope, not World of Tanks nor World of Warships, the two more popular games in their "World of X" series, but it's much less remembered and practically forgotten aviation-centric little brother that consistently gets cut out of the family portrait every Christmas. Today, we're unearthing the crypt and looking at Gaijin's arch-rival Wargaming Group Limited's ('s) answer to the aviation portion of War Thunder, World of Warplanes. ![]() Regular Updates and Support: Stay ahead with the latest features at a reduced cost by using Parallels coupon codes and Parallels promo offers.Diverse Usability: Whether you're a professional or a student, our Parallels promo codes offer the perfect solution to your cross-platform needs. ![]()
Go to System Preferences > Software Update and download the latest macOS version that’s available. If you find yourself in a similar predicament, we recommend that you update your Mac. Surprisingly, none of the solutions mentioned above restored the missing Activity Monitor columns until they updated their Macs operating system to the latest version available. Some Mac users noticed that Activity Monitor had missing columns after installing the earlier versions of the macOS Catalina. Launch Activity Monitor and check if the missing columns have been restored. This command deletes the Activity Monitor file and refreshes the app. sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/Īfter that, add the administrator password of your Mac. Step 3: Paste the command below in the Terminal console and tap Return on your keyboard. Note: You should close the Activity Monitor properly before you proceed to delete its plist file using the command in the next step. Step 2: Double-click Terminal in the Utilities folder. You can also click Go on the menu bar and select Utilities. Step 1: Go to your Mac’s desktop and launch the Utilities folder using the Command + Shift + U keyboard shortcut.

There are two different ways to delete the plist file. When you relaunch the app, a new preference list file will be created, which should restore the missing Activity Monitor column. Sometimes, it could cause the app to freeze or crash.ĭeleting the corrupt plist file will refresh the Activity Monitor. If the file gets corrupt, some features of the Activity Monitor may fail to work. This preference list (plist) file holds the Activity Monitor’s settings and configurations. ![]() Delete Activity Monitor’s Preference File If the missing column is already checked but still not showing up in the Activity Monitor, uncheck it and select it again. Step 3: Finally, select the missing column from the menu. Step 2: Next, hover the cursor on Columns. Step 1: Launch the Activity Monitor and click View on the menu bar. Head into the app’s settings menu and make sure the missing columns are enabled. If some columns are still missing after resizing the columns, the problem is easily fixable. Reconfigure Activity Monitor’s View Settings This will move and reveal the hidden columns. Resizing the Visible Columnĭrag the divider or separator beside the Process Name column to the left. This scrolls the content of the Activity Monitor to the right, revealing hidden columns. Place two fingers on your trackpad and swipe them to the left. Expand the Activity Monitor WindowĬlick the green button at the top-right corner to view all hidden columns. They’ve only been hidden or pushed far too much to the right. If Process Name is the only column listed in the column title bar, other columns aren’t missing. If that doesn’t help, restart your Mac and check if the columns have been restored. If that describes your present situation, refer to the fixes in the next section to restore the missing columns.īefore you proceed, you could try force-closing Activity Monitor. There are times when you launch Activity Monitor and discover that some or all of the columns are nowhere to be found. And speaking of malfunction, the most common one with the Activity Monitor is the missing column issue. It’s normal for the tool to malfunction sometimes. ![]() The Activity Monitor is just like every other app on your Mac.

The Mac’s Activity Monitor is a useful tool to monitor and analyze the resources usage, disk & memory consumption, and other vital performance indicators. ![]() an object of the present invention to provide a contour gauge of the type incorporating a plurality of rods arranged in side by side relationship in a holder or frame means and in which means are provided to adequately establish the requisite frictional restraint functions and which means are relatively nonwearing and functionally not affected by contaminating atem attraction to rods of steel or other magnetically suscep tible composition, to such degree as to provide a strong gripping action in drawing each rod to its prescribed stopping point, and a relatively Weak resistance to continued movement of the holder or frame means thereafter, so that the gauge is both accurate and easy to operate, permanently consistent, not susceptible to wear or other conditions which would deleteriously affect the functioning of frictional restraint materials generally and is of relatively light construction, because magnetic restraint does not require applied pressure to be effective, and structural provisions to withstand stresses produced by applied pressure are unnecessary.the unbraced span of the holder or frame means which in turn supports the rods will bow out or be deformed outwardly through its central portion and thus reduce pressure and resultant gripping capability therein to a lesser degree than is required, unless the holder or frame means provided is rigid enough to withstand such pressure without deforming. ![]() This frictional restraint must be such as to first grip each rod sufliciently to overcome opposing friction and draw it to its prescribed stopping point, and thereafter during continued movement of the holder the medium slides along each stopped rod until the last rod has reached its stopping point.the frictional restraint is that medium or material which links the holder, through which pressure is commonly applied, with the plurality of rods that are to be actuated separately.the invention further relates to that type of contour gauge in which a plurality of rod members of uniform length are slidably arranged in side by side relationship under a common frictional restraint in a holder or frame means whereby when the ends of the rods are pressed against an irregular surface, such as a piece of molding, by moving toward that surface, the contour of the surface will be duplicated.the present invention relates to a gauge device, more particularly to an improved gauge used to obtain duplicate contours, thatis, an accurate outline of the contour of irregular surfaces, for the purpose of reproducing such surfaces for fitting, matching, and other uses.G01B5/20- Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of mechanical techniques for measuring contours or curvatures.G01B5/00- Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of mechanical techniques. ![]()
![]() To directly teach students even 3000 words a year would require teaching approximately 17 new words each school day (e.g., 3000 words/180 school days). To understand the magnitude of this, consider what learning 25,000 words would require in terms of instruction. By the time students graduate from high school their vocabularies may reach 25,000 words or more. And as their reading and writing develops, on average students learn 3000 to 4000 words a year (Nagy & Anderson, 1984 Nagy & Herman, 1987). By the second grade, students learn an additional 20 words (Graves, Juel, & Graves, 1998). By first grade, students will have a lexicon of about 6000 words. How Many Words Should Most Students Know?Ĭhild language specialists have suggested that preschoolers learn about five new words a day (Kamil, 2004). How to Teach Students to Learn On Their Own.It's Not Just Vocabulary, It's Vocabularies!. ![]() How Many Words Should Most Students Know?.Therefore, it is very important that these kids with reading problems are read to at a young age and as they get older have access to text via audiobooks and text-to-speech software. And the gap only widens as they get older. Research has demonstrated that students with reading difficulties will begin to fall behind in vocabulary because they do not read as much as their peers. It is important to measure a student's understanding of vocabulary as early as possible. And for a student who has dyslexia, it can be as difficult as looking for a picture of a butte in Reader’s Digest. However, while locating pictures is much easier today, acquiring a large, rich vocabulary appears to be just as challenging for students as it was 50 years ago, despite computer technology. Now all a student needs to do is go to a computer, type in the word butte in a search engine and voila! No searching and wondering if this could possibly be a picture of a butte for our modern day students! They can get a plethora of butte pictures, along with detailed information about buttes and additional geographical highlights of canyons, cirques, cuestas, mesas, and even sinkholes! Because this is so simple, one would think that acquiring a large, rich vocabulary and having the grammatical skills for using those words would be effortless in today’s technological world. Especially, since Reader’s Digest was the only magazine we had at home. Holly! (More like a hill here in Michigan.) Prairies, I could figure out too, but a butte? Now that was a vocabulary picture challenge! I had a written definition of the words, but finding a picture in a magazine was mostly a search and guess challenge. We were told to look through magazines for pictures of geographical items like buttes, prairies, and mountains. I still remember how I taught myself geography vocabulary when I was in 4th grade in the 60’s. Find practical tips to increase vocabulary and help your student become a lifelong learner of words.

So that may be a point against using it, since one would have to rely on 3rd party noise reduction, and the point is to keep the workflow as simplified as possible, IMO. I output and finished noise reduction in LR. tends to produce more noisy results, and that is not helped by the built in noise reduction. Also, by default, sharpening although better. I can honestly say that SP7 does indeed produce better sharpness results, so long as you know which algorithm to use out of the several available. In any case, I've done some testing and, to the best of my ability, I've managed to get some pretty decent results. I sort of expected that going into the trial. And because of that, and the lack of actual presentation examples, you're left trying to figure out how something works, that you may not even care about or need. You're left guessing at what they mean with some of their terminology a lot of the time. I can at times almost forgive the fact that whomever did their proof-reading and editing either wasn't paid and didn't care, or that they simply stink at their job. Honestly, have you actually looked at any of their documentation? It's horrendous in terms of terminology. I'd say it now is as good as Capture 1 v9 in this area. Highlight recovery since Silkypix Pro6 is done with a special setting of the HDR function, a feature that has been further developed in Pro7. It is a bit technical, but this is the stuff a photographer has to know these days. They will run either the AHCI or NVMe "blade" SSD. For older MB, there are affordable PCIe 4x cards that plug into your computer's 4xPCIe slot. This m.2 4x PCIe drive is roughly 4 times faster than a standard SSD Sata III in real world I/O. Second SSD is the latest Samsung 951 500gb m.2 4x PCIe NVMe that runs Silkypix temp and image data files. The heart of the storage system is one standard (for Mac) AHCI 120gb SSD for the boot drive and general temp files. ![]() ![]() No backup, you will eventually loose them. ![]() There is also separate backup system, a critical feature if preserving images. The rest of my system uses a total of 4TB standard 3.5 Disk Drives, but at some point when these need replaced, it will be with SSD. It now is running Clover/Yosemite 10.10.5. Last year I built my second Hackintosh, a z97 board with Intel 4790k and 16mb. I am not sure where Microsoft is with their Windoz 10 software and this technology, but Linux or Mac OS X are working today. If buying today, it is worthwhile to educate yourself about the new SSD M.2 PCIe standard, currently available as 2x or 4x PCIe lane configurations. In the past year, these new M.2 4x SSD are ~3 to 4 times faster than the conventional SSD, as well. Any SSD will greatly improve Silkypix processing speed if images and temp files are running from it. The trick is lots of ram and the latest SSD setup. M.2 PCIe SSD connectivity and NVMe SSD data protocol are replacing spinning disk drives in power PC configurations. They felt new advances in SSD M.2 AHCI and NVMe would greatly improve processing speeds in the near future. I asked Silkypix last year if they ever considered using graphics (card) acceleration. An 8 virtual core processor such as I7-4790 is 2x improvement over i5 4 core. Equally important for speed is to put the images and the temp files directory on a good SSD (solid state drive). It allows you to save those settings or write them to a profile file. It remembers from session to session the settings you have given any image. It will even retain all JPG, unless you deliberately over write them. It is also about impossible modify source files with this software. Silkypix always reprocesses after every change because some of its adjustments are done sequentially for best results. I have Capture 1 v9, but frankly Silkypix works just fine for me. ![]() In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland: The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood or 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.

That’s because the PS2 isn’t the simplest video game out there either. PCSX2 is not the simplest emulator out there, despite the developers’ efforts to make it as user-friendly as possible. I strongly recommend using a PS2 controller. In addition to being easier to configure, they make it easier to play, improving the experience, which gets similar to playing with the console. PS2 controls are plug and play on PCSX2, that is, you don’t need to set them up. There are models with USB cable, others with two cables, USB and PS2, which can be used on both PC and PS2. To play PS2 games on PC, I recommend you to use a controller similar to the PS2 controller. PlayStation consoles are also differentiated from the others with regard to the controllers, which have many buttons. Even if your computer has specs below the recommended (or even below the minimum, as mine), be sure to check the game lists to see which games you are able to emulate with your PC. If your PC has these specs or higher, it’s likely able to play any PS2 game well, with great performance.īut, as I said, all these recommendations are actually highly game dependent. ![]() PassMark G3D Mark benchmark rating around 6000 (e.g.that supports Direct3D11 (on Windows) or OpenGL 4.5 (on Linux).PassMark Single Thread Performance benchmark rating near or greater than 2100.that has 4 processing cores (quad core), with or without hyperthreading.Ubuntu 19.04 or newer, it can also be Debian, Arch Linux or other distro (32 or 64 bit).The recommended specs for PCSX2 is as follows: This game is very good, very fun and easy to play, I recommend it! You can check lists of light games (on the forum) and intensive games ( forum and wiki).Īlso fortunately the list of light games includes Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, whose DVD I already had. Some 2D games and others that underutilized the PS2 hardware may run on more modest CPUs, rated as low as 1200 (luckily, my CPU was rated above 1200). At least in theory, I couldn’t play PS2 games on my PC.īut the PCSX2 website also explains that these requirements are recommended for moderately complex games, which pushed the PS2 hardware to its limits. ![]() In my case, my CPU’s rating is 1519 and my GPU’s rating is 580.Īs you can see, my computer doesn’t meet the PCSX2 minimum requirements. To find out your computer’s specs, if you use the GNOME desktop (default for Linux Kamarada), open the Settings app and go to the Details section: But I’m going to show you in practice how you can see if your computer fits them.

PCSX2 is a very hardware intensive program. Even now, many years later and with the advancement of technology, not all PCs are able to emulate it. When it was released, the PS2 was a video game with specs far superior to those of its competitors. As usual, here I use the Linux Kamarada distribution, which is based on openSUSE Leap. Here you are going to see how to install and use PCSX2 on Linux. PCSX2 is free software and its source code is available on GitHub. With PCSX2, you can play most PS2 games on your PC.
