![]() On the whole I didn’t use these as it was missing a key rule that I used – that is being able to select a song based on what other playlist (or Live List) it is in. Rocket Player also has Live Lists – which are like the Smart Playlists on iTunes. As well as the standard options, there are a range of ways to change the way tunes are played and the look of the app itself. Rocket Player, meanwhile was the most customisable and user-friendly music player that I had found. So, not able to do exactly what I wanted, but not far off and no worse off. ![]() It effectively meant that I was immediately in the same position as I had been with the way I needed to sync my iPod and iTunes. iSyncr can sync my music library (and playlists) between my Android and iTunes. It was largely due to this oversight/bug that when development on the Touch stalled (and my eyes needed a bigger screen) that I decided to jump over to Android rather than have an iPhone.īut what to do about my music and was there a way to have an equivalent of the Smart Playlists that I had liked (when they worked)? After some hunting around and trying of various apps, I settled on the pairing of iSyncr and Rocket Player – two apps made by the same developers (who are a great team and respond so quickly if you need help or want to make suggestions). ![]() The only way I could get the playlists to update was to sync with the computer and the iTunes database. But one day, Apple updated the software and after that Smart Playlists (ones that automatically update) stopped working on the device. It did everything I needed and I was happy to have a separate music player and mobile phone. To understand why I like it so much, let me provide a bit of context. The app in question is called Rocket Player and it is, in my view, the best music app out there (and I’ve tried a few). Rather than discussing my academic work or novels, I’m writing about an app that I use.

![]() "JPOP Xfile" conceals its progressive underpinnings beneath a surprisingly radio-friendly veneer, while "A 7days Wonder" is driven by a nearly danceable beat and is easily one of the album's best tracks. It's Sigure's first track based entirely around acoustic guitar, and offers strong melodies as Miyoko Nakamura's bass and Pierre Nakano's drums propel the song's rhythm section. "Tremolo+A" is proof that despite maintaining a consistent and recognizable sound, the band is not constrained by their distinctive tastes. The opening tracks deliver a seamless fusion of furious rock and calmer passages in an unpredictable manner, while balancing them out with a more deliberate pace compared to their usual, breakneck progressions. If the single, the first from 2009's just A moment, was a deliberate attempt to show the band's perpetually restless spirit, the rest of the album shows Kitajima and his bandmates branching out beyond their post-hardcore roots to tackle a wider range of emotions than any of their previous albums. Pounding the listener with a blazing power rock assault before easing into the driving verse, it's immediately clear that high-strung guitarist/vocalist Toru Kitajima is still in firm control of his band as the group careens through their chaotic songcraft. Fortunately, any concerns that the trio's high-octane rock onslaught would be diluted by major-label meddling were subsequently blown away by "Telecastic Fake Show," the band's first single under the new label. Some, like Sonic Youth and Thrice, have done quite well under major labels, while other bands have been less fortunate.Īny fan of Japanese indie luminaries Ling Tosite Sigure might have met the band's decision to join Sony Music with similar trepidation. We've all seen it happen: an artist with tremendous creative potential jumps at the chance to gain millions of fans, not to mention money, and their songcraft is strangled in an attempt to make more accessible music. It's always a disconcerting experience when a well-regarded young indie rock band makes the transition to a major label. The reason why I wrote this article is just that I love their music and I want many people to listen to it.Review Summary: Sigure's major-label debut is a dynamic portrait of a brilliant band at their best.

It seems to work at first glance, but the more you play it the more you find yourself consistently frustrated by stupid things.Ī perfect example of this is their equiptment upgrade paths. My biggest problem with this game is that it feels, mechanically and systemically, unbalanced. But it autosaves before every fight, so no crash is every too big of a deal. The engine works pretty well, I've only had one freeze, and one sound bug. It does a good job of blending the resource managment that you find necessary in roguelikes with the meaningful strategic choices that are present in any good tactical RPG. I did all of this on easy, which is the only game mode available to you until you beat the game once. I've unlocked all of the characters, and all of their seperate loadouts. So I have about 15 hours logged in this game. Unfortunately, this is not the game to do it justice. The idea of FTL with turn-based party combat is a good one. The made-for-mobile interface is reasonably polished and makes this experience less painful than it could have been. I am left with the feeling that I merely ground out a little bit more xp to become numerically stronger, to get a little bit further when I play the same series of events and combats over again. I do not feel as though I have learned anything from that run-through which will aid me in the next. This makes each run-through (and eventual death) flat and uninspiring. The mechanics of combat are simple, and there is very little depth to the tactical nature of the combat. They'll either provide loot or do damage to your party. Most of them provide some a generic text description before presenting a single "Search" option. The points of interests that you'll come across aren't interesting at all. The environment becomes tiresome and repetitive very quickly. ![]() You'll spend the first several hours fighting the same 3 enemy types - wolves, guardsmen and thieves - over and over as you run through the same scripted scenario over and over. It hides its incredibly unforgiving randomness behind the disclaimer of "Roguelike," yet it provides little sense of progression or accomplishment.

As a consequence, one of the most important qualities of mobile software development is the ability to produce applications that consume energy resources wisely. This power demand represents a major challenge to the strong autonomy requirement of mobile devices, powered by batteries. ![]() Current mobile software products require hardware resources, computer job and network connectivity that is reflected in increasing power needs. Finally, chapter four which happens to be the last chapter of this research study focuses on summarizing my findings, conclusion and gives recommendations which is said to be needful to necessary researchers, students and any individual who may deem it necessary at any point in time to know about Raspberry Pi.Īs devices like smartphones and tablets have been adopted by millions of users, the offer of mobile software products and services has as well evolved significantly. Chapter three deals with the system design where there will be a look at the hardware layout, brief description of the components on the Pi, the operating system, the boot process and the NOOBS installer, the applications of the Pi and some examples of projects using this microcomputer and also comparison of the Pi with other competitors. The second chapter of this report point out on the literature review, reviewing the various ideas on Raspberry Pi with references to journals and other publications on the internet. ![]() The first chapter will include the introduction, brief history, purpose, specifications, advantages and disadvantages of Raspberry Pi. The device is a reasonably powerful computer on a credit card sized PCB. The software is very stable and there are many general purpose I/O pins (GPIO) available for interfacing to external devices. The power requirements are very modest and a simple 5V phone charger with micro USB plug is enough to run the system. The system boots from an SD card and an 8 GB SD card is more than enough to store the operating system and lots of data. The Raspberry Pi is a single board, low cost, low power computer system running Linux (or several other operating systems) on an ARM processor architecture. Keywords - wireless video transmission, embedded systems, screen mirroring, live collaboration tools. The devices purports to overcome the issues faced when handling traditional projectors such as constantly having to connect and disconnect machines each time a different person wants to broadcast to the projector. The device would be connected to the projector where multiple connected could be concurrently made and the screen could be shared at the same time. This thesis is on a device developed to act as an adapter to existing projectors so as to make them wireless. Embedded systems have made it simpler to build portable devices which can stream live video via a network. In terms of video streaming, the rapid increase of speeds of networks around the world have enabled fast and efficient streaming of live content. Recent advancements in the field of embedded systems and network speeds in general – particularly the realization of concepts of image processing, live video streaming and Internet of Things have redefined the technology world, as we knew years ago. Moreover, this relationship is compared against other types of common personal computers before recommending on techniques and practices that could reduce the power consumption of this emerging type of computer. ![]() As such, this paper investigates how power consumption of the Raspberry Pi is affected by the key functionalities that could be performed by end-users on the platform. The diverse functionalities present in modern computers including communication and web browsing, among others, were found to be important components that affect the power consumption of such devices. The growing concern is that all these computers utilize power in order to operate thereby turning ICT into a power drainer. The Raspberry Pi has often been referred as a computer designed to change the world since it is capable to do most things that a desktop computer can do. More recently, there has been the emergence of the Raspberry Pi and since its release in 2012, this new type of computer has undergone rapid growth in adoption to even become the fastest selling British computer. Over the past few decades, human beings have increasingly adopted different types of personal computers including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smart phones. ![]() Originally launched for PC, the service allows access to more than 100 Ubisoft titles at a single monthly cost, with games and DLC available on launch day, and monthly rewards including cosmetics, boosters, in-game items, and more.

In no time, our stories got picked up by the likes of Forbes, Foxnews, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge, Macrumors, and many others. PiunikaWeb started as purely an investigative tech journalism website with main focus on ‘breaking’ or ‘exclusive’ news. ![]() Note: We have more such stories in our dedicated Ubisoft Section so be sure to follow them as well. Rest assured, we will be keeping tabs on the issue and update this space as and when required so make sure you stay tuned. We hope Ubisoft makes it easier for players to reclaim games in the near future so they don’t have to contact support everytime their Game Pass subscription is over or renewed. This is what Ubisoft Support Staff had to say on the matter. Since this is really frustrating, some asked Ubisoft if they had any plans to make changes to the resubscription process. It looks like the only way to play the game for those affected is to contact Ubisoft Support and share their Ubisoft email or username and the Xbox Gamertag. On Game Pass it says “click here to play” even after re-subscribe there is notification every time for the 2 Ubisoft games, this link takes you to Ubisoft connect which Extraction is gray out so no you can’t play and making it like Game Pass/Microsoft give the wrong information.Īs it turns out, Ubisoft is aware of the issue where Rainbow Six Extraction is missing from the Xbox Game Pass library for some. I have a general ticket because I cannot find any support section regarding Game Pass or Re-claim, it’s been 4 days now no response. I payed for subscription on the 3rd it should start from then not when support are ready to help re-claim it. I usually don’t post on forums so i’m sorry if this isn’t what i was suppose to do Does anyone else have this issue and now how to solve it? PS. I’ve tried reconnecting the accounts and hoping that would work but no avail. I downloaded extraction while i had gamepass but my gamepass ran out and i had deleted it because i didn’t know when i’d have it again but now i have gamepass again the game is gone and i can’t find any way to redownload it without having to buy it. It looks like Rainbow Six Extraction is missing for those who unsubscribed or lost their Xbox Game Pass subscription and resubscribed again. Some said they tried unlinking and relinking their Ubisoft account but nothing seems to work right now. Many are confused and wondering as to why the game is not available anymore. But lately, many Xbox Game Pass subscribers are reporting ( 1, 2, 3) that Rainbow Six Extraction went missing from their library. That being said, the game is also available on the Xbox Game Pass. While players have praised the game for its gunplay and mechanics, issues such as in-game shop not working and the endless coughing glitch have negatively affected the gameplay experience for many. The co-op multiplayer game features operators from Rainbow Six Siege and requires players to work together to take down an alien species known as the Archeans. Released in January this year, Rainbow Six Extraction is the latest game to join the Rainbow Six series. ![]() Revit deals with IFCs very poorlyĮxporting to an IFC? Will your roofs become IfcRoof, or will Revit decide your roof is a slab instead? Will your windows become IfcWindow? Who knows. In contrast, the first thing that you do when you launch FreeCAD to create a BIM project is to define a building with storeys in that building that belong to a site. Have a shared site with mix-use buildings where two buildings merge? Now you’ve got a maintenance nightmare. No way of categorising a shape to represent a building or that some levels are part of building A and some are part of building B. If you have two buildings next to each other, Revit has no way of saying that some walls belong to building A, and some belong to building B. You can categorise walls, floors, roofs … but a building? Nope. Revit has failed to implement even the most basic of BIM concepts: a building. An example of Revit failing to consistently deal with openings in an irregularly shaped wall With this background, I hope to present a fair but critical list of issues I have faced with Revit. I have also used a great deal of software on many platforms, including 3D modeling as practiced by the CG industry, point clouds, programmatic typesetting with Lilypond and LaTeX, and am also closely following OpenBIM initiatives. Therefore, the concepts of decoupling, interfaces, modularity, Robert Martin’s famous code smells of fragility, rigidity, and so on, and technical debt, are all applicable in this field. There are ever-changing client requirements, lots of small pieces that interact, and domino effects of changing the design in one area. Software architects deal with many of the same issues as BIM data management. I have a background in software development, previously working as a software architect. However, I have certainly used it to document projects, and have used Revit’s API. I speak from the perspective of an architect working on large commercial projects across different building typologies, and therefore do not use the MEP aspects, which may be better than I have experienced here. Its function is to build a 3D “BIM” model of a building and lay out 2D documentation in the traditional form of drawing sheets. Revit is a proprietary software developed by the monopoly Autodesk for the AEC industry. Join the OSArch community today and help drive community-driven AEC tools. It is under heavy development, but all early adopters are welcome. We are now developing a 100% free and open-source native OpenBIM authoring tool called BlenderBIM. Black-box BIM data is no longer acceptable by companies with a large real-estate portfolio. Data about our built environment is a human right and should be transparent and not governed by a vendor. Update: The popularity of this article has shown the industry needs to break out of the unethical behaviour by proprietary vendors, which result in proprietary incompatibility, proprietary obsolescence, and proprietary subscription. I would play down the title to something more politically correct, but that would risk understating Revit’s limitations that I have to deal with on an almost daily basis. |
