![]() ![]() ![]() The matchmaking doesn't seem to prioritize skill over the connection. High-stat players don't seem to match together. In the past, if your buddy had an Xbox One and you had a PS4, you wouldnt be able to play multiplayer games together. Players of a similar level, however, do seem to match together. Thats changing, and its almost a miracle. The system also appears to match based on recent performances in the last five games. Last year, Adobe shook up its Lightroom ecosystem – and quite a lot of its longtime customers – by announcing Lightroom CC 1.0, a completely new desktop photo management and editing app focused on Creative Cloud integration.įinally, there does seem to be a hidden MMR (matchmaking rank system). The previous version lost its name to the upstart and was rebranded Lightroom Classic CC, leading many people to think, over Adobe’s sudden strenuous objections, that Classic was soon headed for the rejects bin. Today, Adobe released Lightroom CC 2.0 and Lightroom Classic CC 8.0, both still breathing and both with additional features. In this article I’m specifically looking at what’s new in Lightroom CC and how it fits into the greater Lightroom lineup (which includes mobile versions for iOS and Android), but it’s worth mentioning up front that photographers using Lightroom Classic shouldn’t feel anxious about the immediate future. One of the primary reasons for building a cloud-focused version of Lightroom is to be able to share an entire photo library among multiple devices. (You can also optionally store your photos on a local drive the cloud isn’t the only repository, but it acts as the master record.) In Lightroom CC 2.0, Adobe’s Sensei machine-learning technology is responsible for many of the marquee new features Lightroom CC uploads everything to Creative Cloud by default, even Raw files, and from that high perch it can ensure that the images and edits are in sync in Lightroom clients on the desktop, tablets, and phones. Having a photo library in the cloud opens up possibilities for working with the image data on Adobe’s servers. The company already uses it to deliver better results when clicking the Auto button in Edit mode, and to search for objects and scenes based on visual recognition. ![]() In Lightroom CC 2.0, Adobe’s Sensei machine-learning technology is responsible for many of the marquee new features. People Viewįacial recognition is a processor-intensive task, as anyone who’s waited for Lightroom Classic to churn through a local library knows. In the new Lightroom CC People View, the library is indexed and analyzed in data centers instead of your computer. It appears as a category under My Photos, along with the All Photos, Recently Added, and By Date categories. Viewing photos where Lightroom – actually, Adobe Sensei – has identified a person. Lightroom CC presents a circle for every person it’s identified, so you can assign names it doesn’t tie into your contacts database or anything outside Lightroom. Since inevitably some photos of the same person don’t get matched, a merge feature lets you combine them. You can also hide people from the list, such as when it pulls unknown individuals out of group shots or public scenes that you don’t want to see all the time. When you type within the Search bar, Lightroom presents possible metadata matches as you type, including camera, lens, and shooting data. Each term you add stands on its own, so to find boats at sunset, you’d type “boat,” press Return, and type “sunset” and press Return again. However, there’s no AND/OR/NOT logic to the field typing “boat” and “sunset” brings up images of boats and images of sunsets, not necessarily boats at sunset. Oddly, folks you’ve identified in the People view are not included in text searches, but a new People filter presents named people as a way to narrow the results.Ī search for "boat" and "sunset" has brought up photos that include one or both terms. Or maybe Lightroom assumes a boat owner lurks somewhere in that forest at the top right. Tying search to Sensei, however, means there’s no local search capability. ![]()

All the most recent updates are found just below.ĭon’t forget that the third Summer Game Fest takes place on June 9, and promises to showcase “what’s next in gaming with huge new game announcements, world premieres, special guests, and much more”. 14 September Update - Checked for the latest Mortal Kombat 12 news. Personally, we think Mortal Kombat 12 is up next, and for everything you need to know about that next game in the series, read on. There have also been rumblings of a potential Marvel fighting game too, and given the way that Marvel Games working with studios for new IP’s in the past few years, it wouldn’t be the most outlandish idea. History would tell us that the studio’s next game would/should be Injustice 3, but in the midst of the Warner Bros Discovery merger, and the vagueries that come from licensing around DC superhero characters, that looks far less likely. We know that the studio has been working on a new project ever since July 2021, when the developers announced they were ending support for Mortal Kombat 11 in order to focus on “its next project”. Besides the Tarkatan Blades, Baraka also uses a War Banner as a weapon.Is NetherRealm Studios working on Mortal Kombat 12?

As a result I would probably give this a 5 star rating but I am holding it back as a 4 star because there needs to be a better user's guide detailing the software options/settings, and/or some kind of Tech Support which there is none. Finally, I decided to try it on another computer and I now am getting quality video and much better audio. Unfortunately I still had a problem with the sound sporadically dropping out. Therefore I can not recommend this device.Īfter extensive google searches, trial & error with system and software settings I eventually stumbled on some combination that eliminated the echoing and tinny sound. It sounds like it was recorded in some sort of tin can echo chamber, very hard to listen too. ![]() Unfortunately while the video is good the audio is of very poor quality. After downloading the OBS software (separate from this purchase) I was able to make those recordings. I wanted to use this device to transfer some videos off my dvr onto my pc. ![]() ![]() ![]() High Downforce tracks like can typically be street tracks on the F1 game such as Monaco and Singapore. The entire setup needs to work in harmony, so consider what changes you make and how they may affect the car and hence the other changes/parameters also. If you need rotation but struggle for stability, consider the off-throttle differential and try increasing it to provide more support off the throttle. ![]() Once happy with the wings, you can play around with suspension and roll bars to find how much rotation you need and want. Tracks like Silverstone require a middle ground on the aero, needing both front and rear downforce to be at a reasonable balance to allow for traction at low speed and front grip at high speed. Tyre temperatures can be hard to hold, and you need to regain some grip from the lost downforce, so don’t be afraid to have a higher pressure on the tyres. Mechanically (suspensions, roll bars, etc) You need a decent level of rotation but also traction, so be sure to play around with roll bars and suspension until you find a balance that provides a good compromise. It’s better to do this and manage temperatures than to not have the grip in the first place.įirstly, being happy with the downforce balance (the difference between front and rear) is important. On F1 2021, the tyre pressure not only affects temperature and tyre characteristics but also the grip balance.Īt the rear, running high values, if not maximum, is recommended to offer premium rear grip. You can use higher brake bias to help the balance of the car if needed, but 50% is very common. This one is very simple! Run 100% on brake pressure and in almost all situations use 50% on the brake bias. The rear usually isn’t lower than around the 6 mark, so keep the front low and the rear around the middle and find the ideal values you like for each condition and track you visit. Running the front as low as 1 is good as long as the car isn’t too ‘on the nose’ and pulling the car around. There have been varying styles over the years of what ride height is best on the F1 game, but on F1 2021 it is a bit more in a single direction. Sometimes stiffer isn’t always better, however, so be careful you don’t use any unnecessary clicks if you don’t have to as this will hurt the rear end. ![]() The rear however you can get aggressive, you can use stiff rear roll bar for rotation/rear end response in loaded situations if you are able to handle the increased snappiness of the car. ![]() ![]() ![]() SWF&FLV 3.8.20(Best way to watch or download flash videos like youtube, Commercial) Latest version compiled for Tiger, what to say about one of the best video player, free and multi plataform.

And because this is physics, of course, the train is moving nearly the speed of light.Įinstein imagined the train at a point on the track equally between two trees. This, wrote the physicist, led to his eventual musings on the theory of special relativity, which he broke down into another thought experiment: A person is standing next to a train track comparing observations of a lightning storm with a person inside the train. If a person could, theoretically, catch up to a beam of light and see it frozen relative to their own motion, would physics as a whole have to change depending on a person's speed, and their vantage point? Instead, Einstein recounted, he sought a unified theory that would make the rules of physics the same for everyone, everywhere, all the time. But because it appeared in Einstein's own memoir, the anecdote is still widely accepted. ![]() Norton challenged Einstein's story in his book " Einstein for Everyone" (Nullarbor Press, 2007), in part because as a 16-year-old, Einstein wouldn't yet have encountered Maxwell's equations. But, Einstein wrote, this contradicted work by another scientist, James Clerk Maxwell, whose equations required that electromagnetic waves always move at the same speed in a vacuum: 186,282 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second). In a thought experiment as a teenager, he wrote, he imagined chasing a beam of light.Ĭlassical physics would imply that as the imaginary Einstein sped up to catch the light, the light wave would eventually come to a relative speed of zero - the man and the light would be moving at speed together, and he could see light as a frozen electromagnetic field. How did Einstein come up with special relativity?Īccording to Einstein, in his 1949 book " Autobiographical Notes (opens in new tab)" (Open Court, 1999, Centennial Edition), the budding physicist began questioning the behavior of light when he was just 16 years old. That meant it couldn't be explained by classical mechanics. If the speed of light didn't change despite the Earth's movement through the ether, they concluded, there must be no such thing as ether to begin with: Light in space moved through a vacuum. Michelson and chemist Edward Morley calculated how Earth's motion through the ether affected how the speed of light is measured, and unexpectedly found that the speed of light is the same no matter what Earth's motion is. In 1887, wrote astrophysicist Ethan Siegal in the Forbes science blog, Starts With a Bang, physicist Albert A. Researchers set about trying to detect that mysterious ether, hoping to understand it better. To shoehorn the odd behavior of light into Newton's framework for physics scientists in the 1800s supposed that light must be transmitted through some medium, which they called the "luminiferous ether." That hypothetical ether had to be rigid enough to transfer light waves like a guitar string vibrates with sound, but also completely undetectable in the movements of planets and stars. ![]() R = perpendicular distance in meters from axis of rotation to center of mass.But some things couldn't be explained by Newton's work: For example, light. V = velocity at radius R on body in meters second In a flywheel rim, R is the mean radius of the rim because it is the radius to the center of gravity of a thin radial section. ![]() The centrifugal force of any part or element of such a body is found by the equations given below, where R is the radius to the center of gravity of the part or element. This means that the resultant of the centrifugal forces of all the elements of the body is equal to zero or, in other words, no centrifugal force is exerted on the axis of rotation. Note: If a body rotates about its own center of mass, R equals zero and v equals zero. R = perpendicular distance in feet from axis of rotation to center of mass, or for practical use, to center of gravity of revolving body G = acceleration due to gravity = 32.16 feet per second per second V = velocity at radius R on body in feet per second ![]() |
