![]() We get by.Īround the same time that I left college, a few artists had the idea to adapt this moment of suck into a video game, and in January 2011, they had enough ideas and bits of concept art to launch a Kickstarter campaign. ![]() Framed as a generation of bums, we’re fortified, able to eat every shit sandwich prepared by the generations before us. The economy rebounded, according to Wall Street, but for the next decade, I watched as my generation struggled to get a stable footing in a supposedly “healthy” market, their careers set back by slow job growth, low salaries, a static upper management class holding onto their desks for dear life, a national pushback to racial and economic equality, rampant sexual harassment and discrimination, an opioid epidemic, and over a dozen major natural disasters.Ĭonsciously or not, I’ve felt warmth for folks my age who shared this predicament of existential fuckery. Throughout the month, we’ll be looking back on the year with special videos, essays, and surprises! Which is to say, we had jobs.įor our 2020 guide to the best entertainment of the year, Polygon is counting down our top 10 with a collection of essays along with our full Top 50 list. Compared to most Americans our age, we had it easy. The company kept me around because I was cheap and there weren’t unions or other jobs, so I’d work and work and work for enough money to split rent and groceries with my girlfriend, who herself worked 60-hour weeks grinding through the entry gigs of TV production. Needless to say, they didn’t book the client. Most co-workers exited through the fire escape, but a handful of us ended up locked in a meeting in a room by the police - “for our safety.” I’ll never forget how a junior sales manager tried to continue a brainstorm session for a Hanes underwear back-to-school sponsorship. Dozens of my co-workers had lost their jobs by November, and in December, the office’s secretary had a panic attack that ended with her weeping through prophecies about the end of the world as paramedics strapped her onto a gurney and wheeled her out the front door. I graduated from college in 2008, and after 60 cover letters, five phone screeners, and two interviews, secured an entry-level role at a forgotten entertainment website.

TL DR: Headset immediately disconnects itself after connecting to wireless receiver and chat/game audio is switched.Doing some quick research (ie i googled it) and this seems to be a common problem. NOTE: I do have STEELSERIES ENGINE but I don't touch it because it always messes with the connection making me reconnect and disconnect for another 10 minutes. This issue on the other hand does not heavily affect my daily life unlike the connection issue. This started 2 weeks back and does not get resolved after uninstalling drivers or resetting the headset. Instead the Chat Audio is has become the default playback device. This means that the Game Audio that is suppose to be the default playback device does not work, it crashes Spotify or YouTube when I try to use it. The next issue is the Chat and Game Audio is switched. I've tried resetting the headset multiple times, but it doesn't work long.

Specialty mechanical contractors and suppliers then fabricate, install and commission the systems. For larger buildings, building service designers, mechanical engineers, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems. ![]() For very small buildings, contractors normally estimate the capacity and type of system needed and then design the system, selecting the appropriate refrigerant and various components needed. In modern buildings, the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems. The means of air delivery and removal from spaces is known as room air distribution. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. HVAC systems can be used in both domestic and commercial environments. The three major functions of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. Methods for ventilating a building are divided into mechanical/forced and natural types. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. ![]() Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and senior living facilities medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and submarines and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors. ![]() " Refrigeration" is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR (as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers). HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space.

Behind the boards, Elaquent is masterful, offering rugged drums and gorgeous spliff-lit jazz pianos - a new alchemy of smoked out soul. There is the angelic levitation of the Chester Watson-buoyed “Airwalk.” The young monotone samurai ponders the wrath of karma, Topanga Canyon versus Beverly Hills, and the eternal question of whether time is moving too fast, or if it’s merely our perception. ![]() It mixes Low End Theory with the residual influence of the legendary Los Angeles beat scene mecca of the same name. He offers a confessional message of clear-headed meditative simplicity while the beat stutters with ingenious syncopated rhythms, percussion clicks, and honey blue keys reminiscent of vintage Tribe Called Quest but updated for the 21st Century. The lick curls like smoke rings before dissolving into the wine-dark night - only to give way to Oddisee offering his “Guidelines.” The PG County legend deploys a liquid flow, his voice melodically climbing the scales like Spiderman to a skyscraper. A saxophone loop plays like you’d heard it in a Parisan jazz club in 1950, right around the time a young Miles Davis was seducing Juliette Greco. “Forever Intro” conjures familiar but distant chords of memory. But this time, I really wanted to challenge myself to do something a little different and showcase what I can do with a number of my favorite artists.”įrom the onset, a mesmeric spell is cast. “Most of my instrumental albums would feature only one or two collaborations, and only then for a change of pace. “I’ve always wanted to do this type of record, but it never felt right to do until now,” Elaquent explains. It’s an album possessed with smoke-wreathed jazz cool and urgent immediacy - as though as soon as the artists heard the instrumentals, they immediately set pad to pen. After all, art is closer to voodoo than science, and here, the rappers sound legitimately inspired by the productions. The curation is impeccable, but more than that, it creates its own orphic sense of magic. It’s the hip-hop equivalent of that old question: who would you want to invite to your dream dinner party if you had the chance? But instead, it’s the lab, and the visitors include a murderer’s row of underground MCs including Oddisee, Blu, Chester Watson, Cavalier, and Guilty Simpson. ![]() In that timeless lineage, you can add another one with Elaquent’s, Forever is a Pretty Long Time.Īs with all brilliant producer compilation albums, the Guelph, Ontario-based Elaquent vividly constructs his own world.

We rightfully revere the classics: Marley Marl’s In Control Vol. The compilation album is a rite of passage for elite hip-hop producers. ![]() If you've never used Linux before, that may make for a daunting first few hours with the 2133. Our test unit came with Novell's Suse Linux 10 pre-installed, but unlike Asus, HP has made zero attempt to customise the installation to make it more accessible to beginners. Both the SKUs have the same core specification, but the Windows Vista version adds a 6-cell battery and makes up for Microsoft's licensing costs with a 50 price hike. In the UK, HP offers the Mini Note 2133 with the choice of Linux, in the form of Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.1, or Windows Vista Business. Wired connectivity is complemented by Bluetooth and 802.11bg Wi-Fi. Look to the right and there's Ethernet, an ExpressCard/54 slot, an SD card reader and another USB port too. Look to its left-hand edge and you'll find USB and VGA ports, along with the usual headphone and microphone sockets. There's no hint of the slightly grainy quality on Asus' panel either, and instead the 2133 provides image quality that is bright and crisply defined.Ĭast your eye around the 2133's frame, and it's rather well appointed with ports and connectors. It shares the same 8.9in diagonal of the Asus Eee PC 900, but where even Asus' premium Eee has to make do with a 1,024 x 600 pixel screen resolution, HP's answer boasts a glossy 1,280 x 768 panel. ![]() The trackpad may be a little disappointing, but the Mini Note's display goes some way towards making amends. ![]() The light, indistinct feel of the buttons doesn't help matters either, though in its favour, HP has wisely included a button to disable the trackpad, to prevent errant thumbs pushing the cursor around whilst typing. The HP's tall buttons are set hard up against the trackpad too, so if you rest a thumb on the leftmost button you'll find that same thumb leaning across the trackpad's bottom corner and occasionally interfering with the cursor. If, like us, you're accustomed to guiding the cursor with a finger, and resting your thumb on the left button, poised to make a quick click, then it can cause problems. It's a change born of necessity, but it takes a little getting used to. ![]() With only a thin strip of chassis left fallow below the fine keyboard, the buttons are forced to either side of the trackpad. If you're one of those for whom the Eee's keyboard was just that bit too small, then the HP boasts the keyboard your fingers have been waiting for. There's not quite the depth of travel that you'd find on larger laptops, or desktop keyboards for that matter, but in a laptop this size, the positive feel and comfy layout is by far the best we've encountered. The 2133's silvery keys stretch right to the edges of its chassis, but apart from the shrunken Function keys and the diddy little cursor cluster, all the alphanumerical keys are, amazingly, full-sized. We've moaned time and time again about the Eee's tiny keyboard, and it seems someone at HP has been listening. Stop trying to physically assault the Mini Note's hardy little frame and you'll find it continues to impress in other key areas. If there's anything to moan about then, it's that the HP's bulletproof frame isn't matched by the slight wobble in the display's chrome-effect hinges, but it's no deal breaker. Similarly, grab the HP's tiny lid between two hands and, barring a tiny bit of give, it's startlingly resilient. We prodded and poked at the lid as hard as we could, but to no effect. There's a little flex in the base if you really tug at it, but the display is incredibly rigid and offers the 8.9in panel plenty of protection. Compare it to the plasticky, slightly creaky frame of the Asus' Eee, and it's in a different league entirely. But, let's be honest, 1.2kg is still far from overweight, and that weight also serves to make the 2133 feel impressively sturdy. ![]() Celebrated music & dancing, beautiful people, and unbelievable service that make this West Loop hot spot a mandatory destination. 6611 S Alameda St Los Angeles, California 90001 Ticket Price 30.00-50.00 This event is now over.

The team used the new data to trace JD1’s light back to its original source and shape, revealing a compact galaxy just a fraction of the size of older galaxies like the Milky Way, which is 13.6 billion years old.īecause light takes time to travel to Earth, JD1 is seen as it was approximately 13.3 billion years ago, when the universe was only about 4% of its present age. The combination of the galaxy’s gravitational magnification and new images from another one of the Webb Telescope’s near-infrared instruments, NIRCam, also made it possible for the team to study the galaxy’s structure in unprecedented detail and resolution, revealing three main elongated clumps of dust and gas that are forming stars. The researchers used the Webb Telescope’s near-infrared spectrograph instrument, NIRSpec, to obtain an infrared light spectrum of the galaxy, allowing them to determine its precise age and its distance from Earth, as well as the number of stars and amount of dust and heavy elements that it formed in its relatively short lifetime. The effect, known as gravitational lensing, is similar to how a magnifying glass distorts and amplifies light within its field of view without gravitational lensing, JD1 would likely have been missed. JD1 is located behind a large cluster of nearby galaxies, called Abell 2744, whose combined gravitational strength bends and amplifies the light from JD1, making it appear larger and 13 times brighter than it otherwise would. JD1 is so dim and so far away that it is challenging to study without a powerful telescope - and a helping hand from nature. “Ultra-faint galaxies such as JD1, on the other hand, are far more numerous, which is why we believe they are more representative of the galaxies that conducted the reionization process, allowing ultraviolet light to travel unimpeded through space and time.” “As such, while important, they are not thought to be the main agents that burned through all of that hydrogen fog. “Most of the galaxies found with JWST so far are bright galaxies that are rare and not thought to be particularly representative of the young galaxies that populated the early universe,” said Guido Roberts-Borsani, a UCLA postdoctoral researcher and the study’s first author. ![]() That, in turn, enabled photons to travel through space, rendering the universe transparent.ĭetermining the types of galaxies that dominated that era - dubbed the Epoch of Reionization - is a major goal in astronomy today, but until the development of the Webb telescope, scientists lacked the sensitive infrared instruments required to study the first generation of galaxies. The appearance of the first stars and galaxies a few hundred million years later bathed the universe in energetic ultraviolet light which began burning, or ionizing, the hydrogen fog. Hydrogen atoms absorb ultraviolet photons from young stars however, until the birth of the first stars and galaxies, the universe became dark and entered a period known as the cosmic dark ages. After the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form. The first billion years of the universe’s life were a crucial period in its evolution. The discovery was made using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, and the findings are published in the journal Nature. The galaxy, called JD1, is one of the most distant identified to date, and it is typical of the kinds of galaxies that burned through the fog of hydrogen atoms left over from the Big Bang, letting light shine through the universe and shaping it into what exists today. ![]() Researchers led by astrophysicists from UCLA confirmed the existence of a distant, faint galaxy typical of those whose light burned through the hydrogen atoms the finding should help them understand how the cosmic dark ages ended.Īn international research team led by UCLA astrophysicists has confirmed the existence of the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe. ![]() The first stars and galaxies appeared several hundred million years later and began burning away the hydrogen fog left over from the Big Bang, rendering the universe transparent, like it is today.In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the cosmic dark ages.

Good news: With iOS 15, iPhone models 11 and up will transmit their location even when powered off if you have already chosen to enable “Find My network” in your settings. How can I find my iPhone when it is turned off? If you have AirTags, you’ll be familiar with how this works. It enables your device to send out end-to-end encrypted Bluetooth signals (“ like a lost cat meowing in the dark,” according to the Apple-focused tech site TidBits), and if certain other Apple devices with internet connections are nearby, they will anonymously pick up these signals and relay them to your Find My app as your device’s approximate location, without compromising your privacy. The Find My network is a secondary handy tool you can turn on for your phone that works with the Find My app. If you are part of a family-sharing group (a setting that allows an adult to add up to six family members to share apps, music, books and more), a family member can also help locate your phone by logging into their iCloud account and searching for your devices. If your phone is on Wi-Fi or on a cellular network, you’ll be able to hear it if it’s in earshot. If your phone is set to vibrate, it will do that, too. A noise will toll, and the volume will slowly increase. If you’re on another Apple device (Apple Watch, iPad, etc.), you can also use Find My’s “find devices” feature to play a sound on your lost iPhone. ![]() ![]() We aren’t owned by corporate’s, we don’t have shareholders to impress.
