![]() This isn’t the first time Epic Games has leveraged Fortnite’s popularity to confront digital marketplace gatekeepers. “Obviously Epic knew Apple was going to remove the app.” In a blog post Thursday, Epic Games also launched a #FREEFORTNITE campaign, clearly intended to turn its millions of Fortnite fans against the behemoth tech company. ![]() “Epic likes to poke and prod and make its points,” says Adam Blacker, vice president of insights at Apptopia. The quick rollout of the lawsuits after Epic Games stuck the Apple hornets nest indicates the company had a bigger plan than selling V-bucks. “Apple’s removal of Fortnite is yet another example of Apple flexing its enormous power in order to impose unreasonable restraints and unlawfully maintain its 100 percent monopoly over the iOS in-app payment processing market,” said an Epic Games representative. ![]() Hours later, after Google removed Fortnite from its Google Play Store, Epic Games filed a lawsuit alleging that Google also engages in similar "anti-competitive conduct." The lawsuit came just moments after Apple removed Fortnite from its iOS store for instituting an in-app payment system that let users circumvent Apple altogether, a violation of App Store guidelines. ![]() The move aligns with the developer’s years-long quest to disrupt digital marketplaces and their associated fees-and comes as Apple has faced increased antitrust scrutiny on Capitol Hill.Īlleging that Apple’s grip over the iOS market is “unreasonable and unlawful,” Epic Games seeks to force access to more apps and payment processing options on iOS. The game’s growing popularity as time goes by and its lack of protection mechanics against accidental purchases have resulted in Epic Games receiving many collective lawsuits, motivating the company to create new versions of the store in an attempt to make it clear what a user is buying, at what price, and their rights to refund their purchases.Fortnite creator Epic Games launched a spear at Apple’s gatekept iOS App Store market today with a lawsuit filed in the US District Court of Northern California. The payment has always been made in V-Bucks, a virtual currency exclusive to the game that must be purchased with real world money. The company also admits that since its release in 2017, Fortnite Battle Royale has had different versions of its store through which one can buy cosmetic items like characters - better known as outfits or skins-, Back Bling, Sprays, Emotes, and more. This number can be divided in two different concepts: $245 million are “to resolve concerns related to past designs of the Fortnite item shop and refund systems in Fortnite”, and an additional $275 million “to resolve concerns related to children’s privacy in Fortnite.” Through a statement on their official website, Epic Games has revealed their intention to pay a total of $520 million USD to the FTC. The company will pay the regulating company a total of $520 million dollars. Epic Games has revealed that they’ve come to a settlement with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regarding the multitude of lawsuits made against Fortnite due to its in-game store. ![]() "He always wanted to be the best dad he could be," Corona said.

Nicholas Dworet was extremely passionate about swimming and was headed to the University of Indianapolis on an athletic scholarship, his family said. ![]() Roxanne, on the surface, appears to have an extremely egotistical personality. Notably, unlike the other animatronics, when Roxanne is viewed with the Security Mask on, her arm and face become repaired, allowing her to fully emote with facial expressions. Notably, this has left her without an upper jaw. Finally, the front half of her face is mostly gone now, revealing her eyeless endoskeleton head and her endoskeleton ears. Almost all of her hair is gone, with only a few strands behind her right ear and her green strand left on her head. Her torso has been almost completely destroyed, revealing most of her endoskeleton, with the same applying to her left arm. In the Security Breach: RUIN DLC, Roxanne holds a much more damaged appearance. Her muzzle is crooked and there is a large hole where the rest of her face should be. Much of her hair and tail has broken off, revealing some of the tail's endoskeleton. Her arms and legs are heavily cracked, and her left arm's endoskeleton is visible. She has a studded earring and hoop earring in each of her ears.Īfter being shattered, Roxanne loses most of her torso, exposing the endoskeleton underneath. She wears a black studded wristband on each of her arms, as well as a studded collar and belt. Her forearms and lower legs are purple, patterned in black tiger print, resembling arm/leg warmers. She wears a red crop top, red hot pants and red shoulder pads that are patterned in black star-like shapes. Like the other members of the Glamrocks, Roxanne's clothing is reminiscent of the 1980s. Small, rectangular panels are found on her upper-arms, torso and thighs. Her body is segmented at the joints, with ball-jointed arms, hands and legs. Black stripes are painted on her cheeks, resembling whiskers. Her face is painted to look like she has makeup, with purple eyelids, purple lipstick and black mascara. She has claws on her hands and feet, colored green and purple respectively. Her fingers, muzzle, inner-ears and the front of her torso are silver as well. She has silver, waist-length hair with green bangs, as well as a gray tail with a silver tail-tip.

There’s also a free version of Rush, though this limits you to three video exports.īoth these subscription models do mean that the costs of the software can become quite high over time, and it’s only worth committing to an annual subscription if you know that you’ll be doing a great deal of editing throughout the year. It’s a much cheaper option, though this is reflected in its significantly reduced functionality. Rush, meanwhile, has a simpler pricing structure of £9.98/$9.99 a month, or £119.21/$119.88 a year. All purchases of Premiere Pro come with Rush included. To avoid this, you can subscribe with no commitment for £25.28/$31.49 a month or pay for a year up front for £238.42/$239.88. If you want to cancel it before a year is out, you’ll have to pay a cancellation fee of 50 per cent of your remaining annual contract. Premiere Pro looks like it costs £19.97/$20.99 a month, but this ties you into an annual plan. Premiere Pro’s pricing structure can be misleading (Image credit: Adobe)īoth Premiere Pro and Premiere Rush operate on a subscription pricing model, and there are a couple of options. Adobe Premiere Pro vs Premiere Rush: Support The ability to export straight to social media platforms such as YouTube or Facebook is also a useful time-saving feature. ![]() In terms of ease of use, the simplicity of Rush’s design means that you’ll be able to learn how to use it and edit simple videos quicker than with the more complicated Premiere Pro. The more powerful your graphics card, though, the less likely you are to run into these issues. That’s not a problem with Rush because projects on it tend to be much simpler. That said, Premiere Pro has been known to run slowly or even crash when more complex projects are being edited when you start layering up its more advanced effects, it can become processor-intensive for Pro to render all the required video. ![]() If your computer meets the recommended specifications, you should be able to edit with either program without much lag. However, for Premiere Pro, you’ll also need at least 2GB of GPU VRAM, and it’s recommended that you have at least 16GB of RAM if you want to edit HD video. Premiere Pro and Premiere Rush both have the same basic system requirements: Windows 10 or macOS v10.14 or later, 8GB of RAM, and 8GB of hard disk space. Premiere Rush’s simple interface makes for smooth performance (Image credit: Kieron Moore) Adobe Premiere Pro vs Premiere Rush: Performance Still, there are tons of things that you can do within it to make quality, fun social media videos, if you’re not too picky about the minute details. The advantage of Rush is that it’s streamlined and simple to pick up. In short, there’s nothing that you can do in Rush that you can’t also do in Pro, while there are many things that you can do in Pro but not Rush. That said, for most quick social media videos, these will be sufficient to get your video looking good. ![]() In Rush, you’re limited to a set of preset colour filters and a few sliders, such as exposure, contrast, and highlights. Pro has several colour effects, including the powerful Lumetri Color, which includes RGB curves, separate wheels for shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. Let’s take colour grading features as an example. All clips and effects in Premiere Pro can be keyframed – for example, you can adjust the opacity or positioning of a clip over time with minute precision, while this is not possible in Premiere Rush. Premiere Pro has much more flexibility than Rush. The major differences reveal themselves when you want to go in-depth with manipulating parts of your edit. Premiere Pro’s depth of features enables precise editing (Image credit: Kieron Moore) ![]() Check the packaging or the brand website if you’re not sure if the putty is safe for granite. This is because plumber’s putty contains oils that may leech into the granite, causing stains. It does well at the base of faucets and other areas that don’t experience severe temperature fluctuation but not necessarily on drains.Īdditionally, many plumber’s putty brands aren’t ideal for use on granite sinks. Over time, it may begin to fracture due to the temperature swings, thus rendering the seal (which is its whole purpose) useless. While plumber’s putty holds up well enough, it doesn’t do well with drastic temperature changes. Why? Well, you’ll likely run boiling water and reasonably cold water in the sink, whether you’re washing dishes, getting water, or rinsing vegetables. Generally, it’s better to use rubber gaskets on sink drains than plumber’s putty. Which One Should I Use: A Rubber Gasket or Plumber’s Putty?
While I love the default to USB-C here, it's worth keeping in mind if you're using an older PC without support for the connection. Source: Dan Thorp-Lancaster/Windows Central Logitech Streamcam (Image credit: Dan Thorp-Lancaster/Windows Central) What you'll dislike about the Logitech StreamCam Combined with support in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and XSplit, the StreamCam is a solid pick for anyone getting started with streaming. Moreover, it lowers the barrier for anyone who wants to learn how to use things like picture-in-picture and text overlays. The Logitech Capture software is easy to use, and it's clear what every setting does. Overall, Logitech has done a lot of work here to make getting started with streaming or general content creation much easier. You also have manual controls for things like exposure and focus, along with scene transition effects, custom text overlays, and more. You can access plenty of different filters, adjust framerates anywhere from 24fps to 60fps, and save profiles to access later. There are too many features in Logitech Capture to cover, but there's plenty for content creators to like. ![]() Good looks and thoughtful features make StreamCam an alluring package for creators. For anyone who does hands-on YouTube tutorials, for example, this could become invaluable, with the ability to have one camera focused on your face while another mounted on a tripod captures whatever you're working on. You can combine feeds from multiple cameras (two StreamCams, perhaps) with several different picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture orientations to choose from. Where Logitech Capture is particularly fun is with its support for multiple camera inputs. This worked great in my testing, and I can see it becoming a huge deal for anyone who has a social media following. This is great if you're producing dedicated content for Instagram or Facebook stories, where it's mainly consumed on phones. The camera can be easily rotated on its mount to flip to a vertical orientation, and Logitech Capture automatically recognizes this and adjusts. One of my favorite features is full support for 1080p vertical video. There's also electronic image stabilization, which can kill minor camera shakes if you happen to bump your desk while recording or streaming. ![]() The software brings smart auto-focus and exposure, along with auto-framing, using a bit of AI to keep your face looking good and centered automatically. When paired with Logitech Capture, the StreamCam is a content creation machine. ![]() ![]() However, the experience felt polished with plenty of cool features for streamers. For this review, I used a beta version of the Logitech Capture software with special features built for StreamCam. With its base specs, the StreamCam is a reliable webcam, but the software experience is where it starts to get good. That's combined with a 78-degree field of view, which I felt was a great middle-ground, though I can understand if some would like to see something broader. This results in incredibly smooth performance, which can enhance the quality no matter what type of content you produce. The camera itself supports several frame rates, but the big draw is its ability to run at 1080p at 60fps.

Using a 128-Hz tuning fork (will vibrate for approximately 40 seconds.) IDF. Long-term follow-up of asymptomatic patients willindicate whether these abnormalities reflect underlying neuropathy. Have the patient answer yes or no when asked if they can feel the vibration. Altogether, the graduated tuning fork represents a simple and reliable alternative to quantitate vibration sensations. A pins-and-needles sensation may also occur in the feet. All patients with lower-limb injuries ( n = 7) had values at big toes of <2. It may also feel as though something is stuck between the toes. In addition, 51% of the patients with clinical symptoms at extremities ( n = 67), 70% of the patients without tendon reflexes ( n = 50), and 75% of the patients with abnormal nerve conduction velocities ( n = 60) also had low vibration sensations. Ninety-nine (52%) patients had vibratory sensation at big toes of <99th percentile of normal values for age. Tuning-fork sensations were inversely correlated with duration of diabetes, whereas no correlation was found with HBA 1c levels or the severity of retinopathy. Your provider will gently press a small pin against your big toe to see if you can feel it. Your provider will place a tuning fork or other device that vibrates on different parts of your foot and toes to see if you can feel the vibrations. ![]() The temporal resolution of the neural information transfer (action potentials) should be at least equal to the frequency of the vibration. Tuning fork and vibration perception threshold tests (VPT). Sensory receptors (mostly Pacinian and Meissner corpuscles) convert the vibration into a neural signal. Mean contralateral variation was 7.5% in diabetic patients vs. Vibration sense is tested with a tuning fork (normally 128 Hz) placed on predefined bony prominences. Ninety-nine (52) patients had vibratory sensation at big toes of <99th percentile of normal values for age. The 512-Hz tuning fork is smaller and easier to carry and is. Within-test variation at big toes reached 8.4% in diabetic patients vs. Tuning-fork sensations were inversely correlated with duration of diabetes, whereas no correlation was found with HBA 1c levels or the severity of retinopathy. The median visual analogue score achieved by the 512-Hz tuning fork was the same as the 256-Hz one in all the tested areas of the hand. To find a simple and reliable means to measure vibration sensations, 189diabetic patients and 88 control subjects were tested at different sites with a graduated tuning fork. ![]() What’s even more impressive is the amount of control you get over the scatterplot, which is far easier to access than in most graphing programs and far, far easier than in SPSS. So you can try different parameters.” (as we describe later). ![]() As Harvey Motulsky wrote, “Results are not static text files, but a live part of the document. If you change the analysis parameters, the graph also updates. Impressively, the graph is linked to the actual data, so if you change the data, the results and the graph instantly update. This is the default there are numerous color schemes, none of which are particularly useful, and you can create your own color schemes, which is very useful if not particularly unusual. (The tabs are duplicated by a navigation panel on the left side of the screen.) ![]() The tab just to the right of the highlighted scatterplot tab is for putting several plots or other features onto the same page for comparison or convenient printing. Considering that the analysis was lightning-fast in this case, we were surprised to find the plot had been drawn! Prism is speedy indeed. We hadn’t originally noticed a row of tabs along the bottom row, which provide access to extra features including a lab workbook for making notes as you go along, and the automatically generated scatterplot, which provides information on specific data points if you put the mouse over them. Missing from action are adjusted R-square and a model including both y-variables. Data Set C was empty, in case you were wondering. The results are easy enough to read and can be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet, providing the slope and intercepts with errors, along with numerous dandy statistics. Once you click on the picture of a line (or select the regression option from the menu), you get a host of choices, allowing most of the options you may need but not allowing for forward, backward, or similar options, or for pairwise vs listwise deletion of missing values, or any of the more esoteric alternatives. If you choose wisely, which can take some education or trial and error, you will get the option of doing the analysis you want, and the program will be extremely fast (at least on our Intel-based early Mac Pro.) Starting out, you choose the type of graphing or analysis you will want, and then create an empty data table which you can fill with data copied from a spreadsheet or imported from various open-source formats (not Excel). ![]() Prism’s focus appears to be guiding people through specific types of analyses based on the data they have it is less useful for exploratory work or times when you have a huge database with plans to do all sorts of odd things. While Prism emphasizes biostatistics for laboratory work, it can be used by people in other fields easily enough.
