I've explored CK3's lifestyle trees pretty thoroughly now, so I quite fancy some new branches, or even some whole new trees, to work my way down. A lot of them were originally introduced through CK2 DLC, and while Paradox says it doesn't want to repeat itself when it comes to DLC, additional governments could still be included in expansions with new themes. CK2 already offers a foundation for plenty of governments and unique systems for the likes of the Byzantines, so I'd be surprised if most of them didn't return in some form. Playing a big empire is still a significant departure from ruling a tiny kingdom, even if they're both presented as feudal, but there is still so much room to make them feel more distinct. Empires like the Byzantine Empire and Holy Roman Empire don't feel quite like the unique entities that they really were, and if you fancy getting rich as a Venetian doge you're shit out of luck. The vast majority of features added to CK2 over the years have made their way over to CK3 in some shape, but the number of government types took a bit of a hit. This is probably something we'll see expanded over the course of multiple expansions. These will be introduced in the free update that launches alongside the first DLC. The next update, 1.3, will make changes to Italy and Ireland, changing the number of counties and holdings, and winter weather effects are also being added to the map. We can expect the map in general to evolve quite a bit. This time, though, I'm hoping I'll finally be able to become the Emperor of China. With it still came new trade and tributary systems, as well as the perpetual risk of being trampled by Chinese troops. Jade Dragon, the CK2 DLC, introduced China as an off-screen influence and threat, spicing up the east without expanding the map or adding East Asian dynasties. More dynasties, cultures, clothes for my royal wardrobe-there's a lot to mine in an area this large. The eastern edge of the map is conspicuously torn, offering a not-so-subtle hint that Paradox has already got some plans for East Asia. Even larger than CK2, thanks to the scale being kicked up a few notches.

I definitely don’t want: image editing capabilities in the DAM. presentation, slide-show, contact sheet, or web-gallery-type functionalities support for hierarchical keywords (I use that as a tool separate from the DAM when choosing which keywords to apply, but find it too rigid to have it integrated in the DAM itself.) For raw files: what shoot the image is from (I do not embed metadata in raw files).What the status is of an image with an agency: not submitted, submitted, accepted, rejected….To keep track of where in my workflow an image is: not started, processing, done… or where in the my kewywording process it is.For the (non-standard) three levels of description that Alamy (a stock agency) requires.This is both for speed and security reasons.Ĭustom Fields are important.

My requirements of a Digital Asset Management software solution: Through my own on-line photo library “store-front” base on PhotoshelterĪ sign at a winery pointing the way to Self Service shoppingĪ discussion with David Riecks, the creator of the Controlled Vocabulary Keyword Catalogue (CVKC) and a great metadata advocate and guru, prompted my to formulate what I need and expect from a DAM solution. Directly to customers who I am myself in contact with.Through photo agencies (I send my images to agencies who then license them to customers).I am an independent photographer mainly selling my photography in three ways: You can’t just store them on a disk and hope to find them when you need them… Here are my requirements on what a DAM should do (for me), plus some comments on current DAM vendors. In the photography world it usually refers to an application to manage the thousands or hundreds of thousands of image files that a photographer accumulates. It usually refers to a software used to manage various digital files. What options are there to manage a library of photographs?ĭAM is short for Digital Asset Management. Call quality was good in my tests with callers saying they could hear me well even on the noisy streets of New York. Also, the price is right for parents looking for a decent set of kids' headphones for remote learning and everyday use.Ĭomfortable for on-ear headphones, the Jam V2s are lightweight and have nicely balanced sound with good detail and bass that's ample but not overpowering. Often when pairing Bluetooth headphones with Mac and Windows PCs, one can encounter some issues, but once I got the headphones paired with both my PC and phone, they made a good pair of work-from-home headphones. I was able to pair this wireless headphone set with a Mac Mini and an iPhone 12 Pro and then switch audio between them. I'd say the Momentum 4's sound quality is right there with other models in this price range - they sound excellent, with the requisite well-defined, punchy bass, relatively wide soundstage (they sound pretty open) and smooth treble that brings out some of the finer details in well-recorded tracks. There's also a transparency mode that allows ambient sound in, as well as the ability to create a custom sound profile in the Smart Control app for iOS and Android using the built-in EQ, sound modes and a new Sound Personalization feature that "assesses the user's listening preferences and adjusts the listening experience according to their taste."Įquipped with 42mm drivers, Sennheiser says the Momentum 4 Wireless offer "best-in-class" sound, which is debatable. The Momentum 4 Wireless offers superior performance over the Momentum 3 Wireless in every regard, though the biggest gains are with noise canceling and voice-calling performance as well as battery life, which is outstanding - up to 60 hours at moderate volume levels. Cutting-edge connectivity protocols have allowed true wireless products to connect much more seamlessly and bypass the maximum limit of two connections." However, for a true wireless product, one of the two connections gets consumed by the other earphone - leaving only one available connection to an audio source. "This makes multipoint easy for headphones, where a wire connects both ear cups. "Up until recently, Bluetooth chips supported a maximum of two simultaneous connections," explains Jonathan Levine, CEO and founder of Master & Dynamic. (We also have a list of best headphones for working from home, which includes some of the more business-class headsets with boom mics and USB dongles for reliable wireless PC connectivity.) Unfortunately, multipoint Bluetooth pairing isn't easy to implement reliably with true-wireless earbuds. But the feature has gradually come to more consumer headphones, which are what we're focusing on here. In the past, business-focused headphones - some of which featured integrated boom microphones - offered advanced multipoint Bluetooth pairing. Samsung's various Galaxy Buds have a similar arrangement with Galaxy smartphones and tablets. For instance, you can have your AirPods Pro 2 connected to your iPhone and Mac simultaneously (and an iPad) but a non-Apple device can't be in the mix for simultaneous pairing. In this article, I'll share the best multipoint Bluetooth headphones and earbuds for you.Īpple and Samsung offer a variation of multipoint Bluetooth pairing called "automatic switching," which works only for their respective devices. Multipoint pairing can allow you to listen to audio on your computer and when a call comes in on your phone, you can click to answer, prompting your headphones or earbuds to automatically shift over to your phone to take the call. If you wanted to pivot to another device, you would need to manually switch to access a different audio source. Basically, this is the main difference between multipoint Bluetooth and multiconnection Bluetooth, and they should never be confused.Ī pair of headphones without multipoint Bluetooth pairing can only be actively connected to one device at a time. Most Bluetooth earbuds and headphones, as of 2024, can be connected to multiple devices - but only select models can be paired to multiple sets at the same time. What exactly is multipoint Bluetooth? It's the ability for two devices to be paired with your earbuds or headphones simultaneously. If you're in the market for premium headphones that come with multipoint technology, you no longer have to break the bank. Having a pair of earbuds or headphones with multipoint Bluetooth connectivity can be super convenient. Move your "Private" folder from the root of the SD card from the DSi onto the root of the 3DS SD card and you can view all the Flipnotes you had saved to the SD card. Fortunately, the configuration is kept when you disable the settings so you don't have to re-input the IP and port every time.ĭo you still have your old DSi laying around with its SD card still in? While you have the proxy settings active, you won't be able to use other online features. You should now be able to access the online features using the alternate server.
For most people not using Adobe software ASE is not that useful, because their software doesn't support it. If your app would work on Mac, Windows, and Linux desktop as well as iOS and Android, I think it might be more useful - but only if it also converts ASE files to other colour palette file formats, and from other apps to ASE.Īs it stands, the market seems awfully small. The question is whether your app solves a hidden need - and I think that might be questionable. Why pay for an iPhone app when you already have paid for all the Adobe tools that do the same thing integrated in those Adobe apps?Īnd users who do not use Adobe software probably have no interest in a paid-for ASE editor that is available only on mobile devices, because their apps probably cannot import ASE files, and they will opt for something like the apps I listed: a quick conversion to a different palette format with a free desktop app. I think what he means is that ASE is an interchange format primarily used by Adobe users, and since Adobe users are already paying the rent for all the Adobe apps, and use those apps to create, edit, and exchange ASE colour palettes, the question is how relevant your app would be. Really thank you for your time and for the idea with brushes - I will look at it but not promise. At least I must see success or failure of the current project. I don't understand, USD50 - it is from where? Version for the iPad makes sense, it is right and it is a future, but for macOS - I am not sure. >I think $6 is too much money when an app offers me absolutely nothing I don't already have and pay $50+ a month for and doesn't even work on the platform I use (the Mac). It is simple, cheaper and it is also is a standard way of the exchange. Outside of it user's can use my app and ASE. >Fact: Adobe also has multiple apps for iOS that do the same thing as your app, but sync it automatically with Adobe CC apps you have installed on your computer-thereby bypassing the need to even deal with ASE files. >Fact: Because designers who want/need the colors in ASE format are already using Adobe apps, everything your app does is already built-in to the applications on the computer. With my app you can open downloads folder on your iPhone and see or edit files downloaded from the Adobe Color. >fact: With Adobe Color you can see thumbnails of the colors because it doesn't use the ASE format unless. Export or import - maybe, but not to edit. My app is quite unique, I don't know any ASE editors on iOS, macOS or win platform, free or paid. Why not? Specific of the app - you can find color schema outside of the home, open ase from iCloud and share with your team for seconds. (which few designers use to do their work). >You're charging $6 for an app for the iPhone. It no longer works in macOS Catalina and the developer has disappeared.īuild a modern version of that app with the ability to also preview PS pattern files and the ASE files along with the brush files and you can probably make a pretty decent amount if marketed correctly. I used to have an app called BrushPilot that would allow me to "catalog" the brush files and show me little previews of each brush in the file. As a designer, I collect crap-loads of Photoshop Brush files. Make a macOS version of this app, and add a unique feature or two and you can probably charge $15-$20. I think $6 is too much money when an app offers me absolutely nothing I don't already have and pay $50+ a month for and doesn't even work on the platform I use (the Mac). And no, I don't think $6 for a useful app is too much money. Look, as I said in my original response, I applaud your effort. THING.įact: Adobe also has multiple apps for iOS that do the same thing as your app, but sync it automatically with Adobe CC apps you have installed on your computer-thereby bypassing the need to even deal with ASE files. They do this because they know there is little reason to have a file in ASE format to begin with, other than backup/transfer purposes where a file name is enough of an indicator of what the file is.įact: Because designers who want/need the colors in ASE format are already using Adobe apps, everything your app does is already built-in to the applications on the computer that they're already paying for and using. And while most of them (I suspect almost all of them, actually) have an iPhone, it's just not used as an extension of their workflow (it's more of a supplemental thing).įact: With Adobe Color you can see thumbnails of the colors because it doesn't use the ASE format unless you want to transfer the ASE document (or save it for backup). Fact: The overwhelming majority of professional designers work on a desktop/laptop computer, not a phone, or even an iPad.

In theory it shouldn’t work, but it really does.ĭespite the great ergonomics, there are three reasons why this would not be our pick for top cordless oscillating tool.įirst, the tool-free blade change mechanism only works with Dewalt, Porter Cable, and Rockwell oscillating tool blades and accessories. Dewalt built their brushless multi-tool around design notes taken from their 12V cordless line and 20V compact drill handles. Performance is decent, and runtime is respectable, but it’s the ergonomics that really deserve recognition. I didn’t think I would like it, but I do. There is just one thing you need to know about Dewalt’s DCS355D1 cordless brushless oscillating multi-tool – it feels GREAT. We are actually happy about this, as it means users are able to choose the design that better suits their particular needs or preferences.ĭo you agree with our choices? Disagree?

Check out our oscillating multi-tool page for the latest news and reviews. We have been testing the latest and greatest cordless oscillating multi-tools to help answer a question we are asked quite frequently these days: Which is the BEST cordless oscillating multi-tool?

White color contrasts with enemy character models.When huNter is playing on darkened maps such as “Ancient”, the color of his crosshair is extremely visible against the dark background, which makes it easier to spot the contrast of enemies on the map. In order to be a successful rifler, huNter uses an opaque and white crosshair to reveal hidden enemies looking to flank his team.Ī squished and compact crosshair like his can be difficult for some players to master, but those who follow this path will find their visual clutter gone and their headshot count up. Watch YEKINDAR own against NaVi with this crosshair:Īs the fourteenth ranked player in the world, Nemanja “huNter” Kovac is a talented player for G2 Esports who excels at rifling and lurking. This crosshair grants pinpoint accuracy while diminishing visual clutter, though the color allows for it to remain in the focal point of the screen. YEKINDAR dominates the entry field with this crosshair that allows him to see his environment clearly while retaining deadly accuracy when his opponents are marked with bright green lines. His crosshair is extremely small and would barely register on the screen if not for its neon green color. He has won thousands of dollars for his team at major tournaments, and is upheld as one of the best players to hit the pavement first in a round. Let us take a look at the top 15 Counter Strike players in the world and what each of their crosshairs look like, and why each style can be effective.Īt number 15, Mareks “YEKINDAR” Galinskis is a Latvian In Game Leader for team Liquid, who is famous for being an aggressive entry fragger. In order to really spike your kill rate, you need to be able to take charge of a position and own those around you with confidence in your crosshair's ability to produce headshots. Players that modify their crosshairs to suit their own needs may find themselves firing with more precision and earning more kills per round due to headshots lining up easier. The teal color is prominent on every map in the game, and the removal of the top notch of the “t” shape allows for headshot visibility. From here, change different aspects of your crosshair to fit your needs, or copy the specific settings from one of the top players below!Ībove is the crosshair that I personally use.Select the crosshair tab on the bottom right side of the settings menu.Open Counter Strike 2, and select settings on the main menu (with the classic gear shape icon).How to Change Your Crosshair in the Menu: Step by Step You can go into settings and manually change each crosshair setting or copy/paste a professional crosshair, or you can download crashz’ crosshair generator on the steam community workshop to craft your own. In Counter Strike 2 you can now change your crosshair in two different ways due to a recent update that made community maps active. Crosshairs can be extremely vital for maintaining accuracy in situations where a split second decision needs to be made, and certain varieties of crosshairs can make hitting a perfect headshot much easier. The individuality of crosshairs in Counter Strike is second to none and players all over the world are looking to find the best of the best to aid them in rising through the ranks.Ī crosshair is a marker that sits in the center of a player's screen and acts as a guide for what direction their bullets may land. The core mechanics that gamers love are back and better than ever, as the new game is similar to its predecessor, and there are some features that remain staples for gaining an edge over the competition.

Creating random results is a great way toīrainstorm character names.

Long lists and books filled with boy and girl The exact number of results you want to read each time. Or boy names that begin with the letter "S" you can indicate that on this name generator to get exactlyĪ second benefit of this generator over traditional ways to search for names is that you get to determine For example, if you only want to see girl names Isn't possible in a name book or from a list of names. Most importantly, you have the option to specify the exact types of names you want to see which That come with using this free online name tool that you can't get with a name book or long list of People who stumble across this free name generator often wonder why it's better than the typical way toįind names in a baby book or from a long list of names on a website. Together, they can create hundreds of thousands of random names. The tool has thousands of girl names and boy names, as well as thousands of last names. Once you've made these choices, you hit the "Generate Random Names" button and a list will appear. Finally, you get to decide if you want only first names, last names, or full names. You then need to indicate whether you want female names, male names, or a combination of the two. In this case, the first step is to choose the number of random names you want to be displayed. The other use for this tool is as an actual new name generator. It can be useful for school student assignments and work-related assignments as well where it's important for the assignment to be fair and random. For example, if you have a list of chores for your kids to do and they are complaining that you don't assign the chores fairly, you can use the name randomizer to make those assignments. This can be a great way to assign the names on the list to something specific. For example, if you have a list of 20 students that you want to put into a random order, you would choose "20" and all of the students' names would appear in random order. In this case, you aren't using it as a random name picker, but as a true name randomizer. If you had 30 people on the list and you wanted two teams, you would choose "15" and the fifteen random names that showed up from the list would be one team while the other 15 names would be the other team.Īnother option is to use the name randomizer to randomize all the names on your list. Another example of using this as a name picker is if you want to make two teams out of a list of names. If you wanted the random name picker to choose two winners, you would choose "2" and two names from the list would appear. For example, if you're picking a single winner from a list of names, you would choose "1" and the one name generated would be the winner. In this case, you choose the number of names you want to appear. The first way this can be used is as a random name picker. Once you choose it, a box will appear and all you need to do is paste your list of names into the name randomizer. The name randomizer from a list is pretty simple and straightforward. There are two distinct ways it can be used depending on whether you want to create entirely new random names or if you want to use a name randomizer as a name picker from a list of names you already have. The first step is to choose the actual way you want to use it. For those who are looking to create a random name or who are looking for a name randomizer, the Random Name Generator is the perfect tool for you. |
