![]() What Exactly Are Hardware Wallets Anyway? You risk neither of these options if you own a hardware wallet. Once he sees this, he can steal your LTC by importing them. He can record and watch your screen to see if you accidentally reveal your private keys on the screen. If your wallet isn’t encrypted, he can set a command to send your LTC to a specific address as soon as Electrum is opened. Here are two ways how a hacker might steal your coins: This means your coins are at risk because your private keys are now exposed. When you open up Electrum, the app is susceptible to the malware just like any other software on your desktop. However, it might be worthwhile to consider investing in a hardware wallet because they are more secure especially if you hold a significant amount of coins.įor example, let’s say you unknowingly download a virus onto your computer. If this is an issue, turning your USB into a makeshift coldwallet for Electrum LTC is a viable option. The only downside to hardware wallets is that they cost money. Hardware wallets can host multiple cryptocurrencies. The hardware company’s software is usually open source which allows users to validate the entire operation of the device. Most hardwares are encrypted with pin #’s, like your debit card, which adds another layer security. Your hardware requires you to confirm a transaction on your device (not the app on your computer) before any coins can be spent. ![]() The hardware is immune to computer viruses. Private keys are never exposed to your computer. There are several advantages to hardware wallets:

![]() Still, it's pretty fun to hear Hiiragi building up this rock opera wannabe, monologues and all, before it loses its way entirely.Īfter that shock to the system, Kusa no Yubiwa Hana no Kanmuri brings us back down to earth for track three with a lilting acoustic guitar offering which is so relaxing to listen to it could almost be criminal, while the voice of Yamamoto's voice actor backs it up perfectly. To be honest, I seem to remember this particular tune working better (and being more humorous) when matched with its visuals. that leads to more kindergarten wailings before we break into a more soft-rock oriented effort which for some reason I can picture Miku Hatsune singing. From here, track two couldn't be more different, with its operatic start and piano solo. ![]() It's to be expected, but thank goodness they chose to ruin this track and not one of the better offerings. ![]() Meanwhile, the show's bouncy opening theme only appears in its TV size variant (translation: buy the single, otaku!), while all of the show's incidental music is thrown almost without regard onto CD two, almost hiding the fact that there's also some pretty good stuff in there as it is, with orchestral stuff jammed against cutesy stuff sandwiched between twee but oddly subversive electronica.īack to CD one however, and things kick off with a pretty bouncy and run-of-the-mill effort almost entirely ruined by the cutesy kindergarten out of key singing of the main trio of female characters. at least, so I was told in my formal warning debriefing. It isn't pretty to see a grown man wandering around the office at work singing "Pa-pa, pa-pa, panda neko". Okay, before we get to the "serious" stuff, let me just say this - Do not listen to track fourteen, a rendition of the show's Panda Neko song, unless you want said cutesy refrain from becoming irretriveably stuck in your head, possibly forever. Thankfully that dream has been realised, courtesy of this two-CD "Childhood Memories" album, the first disc of which gives all of those ending themes the loving platform they deserve. Anyone who has seen my review of Hanamaru Kindergarten over at UK Anime will know that I wasn't hugely enamoured of the series in itself - However, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the wide-ranging and varied ending credits employed by GAINAX, all of which had a unique visual aesthetic that was matched by a staggering array of musical panache, including some tracks that left me gasping and scrabbling at my screen in the hope of being able to hear these tracks in their entirety sooner rather than later. ![]() Which is great! Almost all of us could stand to learn more about sex. One of the rules here is “No politics and religion and shit,” so the discussion here is just sex, sex, sex. This is a great forum for men to talk - and learn - about gay sex. It’s a “sex-positive, trans-positive, kink-positive” space full of imagery, comics, and curated porn vids meant to be enjoyed by a female-identifying audience. This subreddit is tries to be opposite of that. There are also a lot of audio files that are just meant to be soothing like, “Long Day? Here’s a Massage (ASMR),” and themes in multiple audio files like “Comfort for self-harm,” “Comfort for Panic Attacks,” and “Quiet talk.”Ī lot of the girl-on-girl porn on mainstream sites is awkwardly over-acted and straight up not intended for a gay, female audience. Some of the audio here describe entire scenarios that you can listen along to, (“Come Camping With Me? Friends to Lovers,” for example. This is an audio-centric subreddit devoted to home recordings of individuals or couples engaging in pillow talk (cute, cuddly conversation and general niceties), or vanilla, erotic talk, along with some ASMR. There’s a lot of cool stuff to look at and watch in this subbreddit. In other words, they’ve distorted the visuals to make something new, beautiful, and often times still erotic. I really like this subreddit users here have taken common pornographic images and video and “glitched” them. Discussion threads, reviews, and answers to questions about probably every sex toy that exists in the universe. Or scroll through the thousands of people wondering if there’s a thread for their favorite kink. ![]() Write a query, and porn enthusiasts will do their best to direct you to the right subreddit. Maybe you’re looking for Christmas Hentai or videos of synchronized orgasms? NSFW411 is a great place to go for all your very specific porn requests. Reddit is kind of like sex anyway - there’s always more to discover. Writing a list like this is kind of loaded in the first place we want you to know that the choices below aren’t an endorsement of any one kind of play, fantasy, or community over any other, it’s just what we found that peaked our interest. This list is by no means complete, if anything it’s just a sprinkling of the kinds of kink and conversation available on Reddit. For this list, we’re more interested in those kinds of subreddits. While there are subreddits aplenty that offer endless images of sex positions, states of undress, and body types - unfortunately, predominately positioned for the male gaze - there are also a lot of community-driven subreddits that rely on their users to set the vibe. ![]() And that includes sex.įrom empowering to just plain weird, we’ve picked out a few of the more interesting, educational, and tantalizing subreddits that have to do with the big wide world of sex. Reddit has definitely fostered a space for trolls to worship Donald Trump, and given misogynists a bonding opportunity, but it’s also created a huge, supportive network of users that are just waiting to answer literally any question you have about anything. Of course, this can play out in both good and bad ways. If there’s one particularly beautiful thing about Reddit, it’s the way it encourages communities to gather, sometimes because of the safety found in showing a username instead of a face. Anonymity is a great enabler for self expression, and Reddit is arguably the online world’s anonymous playground. ![]() Model: Cki VangĪs the leading visualization tool across every industry, KeyShot is the solution to solving challenges in the project development pipeline by combining advanced visualization authoring with unparalleled ease of use.

Lastly we will be using photoshop to finish off our renders and get our projects ready to share with the world. Keyshot is also pretty simple to use with beautiful results and I will be teaching you how to use this software. You will just need to get used to a few simple things in those software's. We use Maya or similar modeling tools mostly as a home base for bringing all our different Moi3D designs together and setting up our scene to send to Keyshot to render, but we won't be doing too much 3D modeling in Maya or a similar program. I will teach you how to use the software to create your own original ideas. I recommend having a little 3D modeling experience in any 3D modeling software, but if you are fairly new to 3D you will be just fine. Moi3D is a fairly easy to use software and quite fun to use. )(If you don't have a student id we can discuss different ways to get access to Keyshot 10 for the duration of this class) Keyshot 10 (student cost is $95.00/month but you need a student ID to get it for that cost.

We will be using mostly Moment of Inspiration to quickly create our own hard surface designs. This 3D Concept Design Class is perfect for those looking to learn how to bring their ideas to "digital" life. ![]() One more comment: there are two new features which were not previously part of this three tool bundle and they work really well per se but.ġ) Recover Faces: this will have a huge impact on really noisy portraits which were shot under low light conditions. It was a real pain in the rear department to save and load intermediate TIFF files, never being really sure in which order each tool should be used. It's pretty amazing how much the outcome has still improved from the 2020 version which did already look like magic compared to best old school denoise and sharpening algorithms of the day.Įven if Photo AI is used in fully manual mode it's a huge improvement when two or more tools are needed for the same image. There are few important family photos which I always run through Topaz when new version is released. AI Denoise which is the main reason I ever purchased Topaz in the first place has seen substantial improvement compared to first version I ever used. I have used AI tools for a couple of years now and learned how fast these tools improve. For example I have already discovered that Autopilot does not understand such concept as DOF in a large crowd and it's desperately trying to oversharpen faces which are intentionally left blurry to highlight the actual subject of the photo but I expect such glitches being fixed promptly. This is of course far from perfect at launch and it's still possible to get better results by going through each image individually and selecting manually the best possible level of whatever improvement is needed. Just throw a full folder at it and be happy with the automatically processed outcome. The raison d’être for Photo AI is this new Autopilot tool which is supposed to analyze every image separately (which it does but this will take a loooooooooong time) and find the best possible combination of denoise, sharpen and upscale for each picture. Now both are done in one go and result is to my eye better than the previous tedious TIFF export from one tool to next. It also looks like the IQ is better in cases where both AI Denoise and AI Sharpen are needed on the same picture. ![]() Which is too late because I already own this SW but what I mean that now I could actually throw a full folder of RAW images at Photo AI and let it handle them automatically. ![]() I never use Auto Mode because the result is horrible compared to even the basic manual settings I typically use for panny images and a mere 30 second fine tuning can usually improve that.Īfter testing Autopilot with few "difficult" images I have previously processed with separate Topaz tools before, I'm sold. This is more than just bundling tree separate apps: Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel under one UI but the whole point is the new AI tool aka Autopilot that can analyze RAW images and decide which of these three tools to apply and how much.Įach separate tool does have a similar Auto mode but it absolutely sucks. ![]() I did just download my free copy of Photo AI and the initial impression is very good indeed. Wasn't that impressed on my first run with it. They did put some of their older Mask/Remask AI into the new Photo AI.įor me, it does seem to need some more work from current Version 1.0.0 before it gets up to what their prior apps can do. The Photo AI program is smaller in size than the other AI software, but to me it seems less on the editing side verses the stand-alone AI apps, but they do have hardware stipulations for Photo AI needed to run the thing. I really do not see a reason to upgrade to the new Topaz Photo AI though if one has the older Sharpen AI and DeNoise AI - other than using the older versions slows you down a bit. I noticed Capture One seems to be heading itself to go subscription only in the future (It's a mix now.) and even their new iPad editing app is a $5 monthly subscription only plan to use it (Which Apple seems to be pushing their app makers into that model as well, and probably for a cut on the action too.). Once they go subscription, they seem to run out of improvement ideas for marketing, imho. Subscription made it so they didn't need to do any updates and why it is still pretty much the same. Click to expand.When Adobe laid off 800 people and went to their subscription model, they got lazy and sat on their laurels so other editing software popped up doing more things and often better. ![]() ThisĮxtraction is our Stream Overlay Package inspired by Escape from Tarkov.

But if you want to make it even more satisfying, she recommends asking the barista to prepare the healthy fast-food order with milk - instead of the hot water the restaurant typically uses - for an extra dose of satiating protein. All these ingredients are also teeming with fiber, which will help you stay satiated for longer, adds Doebrich.

But they can also be caloric minefields-especially when it comes to burritos, nachos, and other cheese-heavy items. Pair yours with a salad and light dressing and low-fat milk or.

Unobtrusive app that it always there when you have need of it Moreover, because QuickShade applies a software filter, any screen captures or recordings are also affected, so you should avoid using the application when performing these tasks. One aspect that may prove to be irritating for some is the fact that the mouse cursor does not seem to be affected by the filter, so it will stand out against the dim background.Īdditionally, the filter is disabled whenever you use Mission Control to view or hide all active apps, so you should avoid these functions if you do not want your eyes to be surprised by a surge of brightness.

![]() Windows Live Messenger reaches version 2009 with a renewed interface, loads of new features and a bit of extra weight. While I understand the reason why they did this, it makes menu options a bit uncomfortable to browse. Parents can set usage limits when it’s bedtime, and there. Kid-friendly filters, reactions, and sound effects make video chats with friends and family even better. ![]() ![]() When kids block contacts, parents are notified. In order to maintain the neatness of this design, the menu bar in Windows Live Messenger has been hidden under a few buttons on the top-right corner – though you can temporarily make the standard menu bar visible by pressing the Alt key. Parents can manage their kids' contact list, and monitor messages on the Messenger Kids app. You can customize it by choosing your own theme and color scheme. The most striking feature in the new Windows Live Messenger is an all-new interface with a colorful design, far from the traditional Windows application structure. I'm not sure that this handful of new functions is the reason why the program weighs in at almost 70 MB. Windows Live Messenger 2009 includes many interesting new features, all conveniently built into a nice interface. Another new feature in the contact management system in Windows Live Messenger is Favorites, a special category that enables you to have the people you talk to most always to hand. Trillian is a multi-service instant messenger, and in the early 2000s that was pretty revolutionary: in a single app you could have MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL IM, Jabber and many more. These groups allow you to have multiple simultaneous chats with several contacts. Regarding contact lists, the new Windows Live Messenger lets you create specific groups of users, different from the ones previously known as "groups" and which have now been renamed to Categories. Another great feature in Windows Live Messenger is the possibility to view and share pictures within the chat window, without having to send files over to your contact. There is also the possibility of having video chats using your webcam, and also make VoIP calls. Also, Windows Live Messenger status messages have now been reduced to "online", "away" or "busy" – so no more "on the phone" or "out to lunch", for example.Ĭhat conversations are not the only thing you can do with Windows Live Messenger. For many, this late 90s early 00s era of internet communication was dominated by a single platform, known as MSN Messenger, and later Windows Live Messenger. Customization possibilities include changing the chat window background or even adding a personal message to your nickname, but not creating custom status messages. You can expand both collections easily by adding new sets which you'll find by the hundred on the Internet. Windows Live Messenger offers plenty of emoticons and winks to cheer up your conversations. Users will have to use Skype with imported contacts to continue messaging Windows Live Messenger contacts.\n |
