1/7/2024 0 Comments Kindle hd 8![]() The Fire HD 8 Plus, like every other Amazon device running Fire OS, operates on a stripped-down version of Android. Ideally, Show Mode should be used in tandem with Amazon's wireless charging dock, but I found the aforementioned kickstand case just as functional.Īlso: Google's Pixel Tablet's speaker dock turns it into a smart screen Terms and conditions app-ly It's a smart way to make your tablet practical even when you're not holding it, much like what Samsung has done with The Frame TV and what Google plans to do with the upcoming Pixel Tablet. Sticking with features that work well on tablets, let's talk about one aspect that sells the Fire HD 8 Plus for me: Show Mode, which essentially turns the 8-inch portable into an Echo Show, dialing between a slideshow of relevant news articles, weather information, the time, and even recipes. Show Mode cycles between features like news articles, the weather forecast, and recipes. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

1/7/2024 0 Comments Annotated book gift![]() ![]() It's like having someone reading along over your shoulder and constantly interrupting to point out the "good" parts while I'm trying to read. Reading for me, and I suspect for most people, is a very personal matter and I would be completely distracted by someone continually interjecting their own opinion as I'm trying to read. I would absolutely hate receiving an annotated copy for my birthday or any other time, especially if a person had actually physically written in the book. This is just my personal opinion, so take it as you will. Example: Hello.Įxplanation of our link flairs Join our /r/bookclub Don't forget /new!

The assassins in that case seemingly used a vulnerability in Vingcard locks to enter their target's room, albeit one that required re-programming the lock. And the F-Secure researchers point to a 2010 assassination of a Palestinian Hamas official in a Dubai hotel, widely believed to have been carried out by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. But the American firm LSI, which trains law enforcement agencies in bypassing locks, advertises Vingcard's products among those it promises to teach students to unlock. The F-Secure researchers admit they don't know if their Vinguard attack has occurred in the real world. The system means that beyond creating a master key to open any door in a hotel, they could also spoof specific "floor" and "section" keys that open only a subset of doors in a building-all the better to impersonate the sort of less-powerful keys that hotel housekeeping staff hold, for instance. Though they won't elaborate further, the researchers note that the trick somehow involves a correlation between the location of a door in a hotel and its RFID enciphered code. But he and Tuominen continued to puzzle over the system on-and-off for years, even after Vingcard switched its Vision locks to RFID, analyzing keycards they collected and reverse-engineering a copy of the Vingcard front-desk software they'd obtained.īeyond creating a master key to open any door in a hotel, they could also spoof specific 'floor' and 'section' keys.įinally, they say, they were tipped off to one final method of narrowing down the possible master key codes in Vingcard Vision locks by a clue on the company's Assa Abloy University website for training hotel staff. But by reading the magnetically encoded key values of keycards that had been used in the system and looking for patterns in those numbers, they began to narrow down the possible "key space" of possible codes.Įven so, the number of possible master key codes remained far too large to enable a practical break-in, requiring thousands upon thousands of tries."Even with those implementation mistakes, it looked like the key space would be too big," says Hirvonen. Vingcard's system encodes a unique cryptographic key into each keycard-and another into every hotel's master keys-that are all designed to be unguessable. That revelation led to a cross-country burglary spree that hit as many as a hundred hotel rooms.īut the two Finns say they spotted what they believed might be weaknesses in Vingcard's code system as soon as they examined it in 2003, at a time when the system used mag-stripe technology rather than touch-less radio frequency or RFID. Six years ago, by contrast, a security researcher published the code necessary to exploit a glaring vulnerability in widely used Onity keycard locks on the web. Tuominen and Hirvonen say they're not releasing all the details of the vulnerabilities in Vingcard's locks for fear of helping burglars or spies break into rooms. Tuominen and Hirvonen say that they've collected more than a thousand hotel keycards from their friends over the last 10 years, and found that roughly 30 percent were Vingcard Vision locks that would have been vulnerable to their attack. They note, though, that the total number is tough to measure, since they can't closely track how many of the older locks have been replaced. When WIRED reached out to Assa Abloy, however, the company put the total number of vulnerable locks somewhat lower, between 500,000 and a million. But they estimate that it nonetheless affects 140,000 hotels in more than 160 countries around the world the researchers say that Vingcard's Swedish parent company, Assa Abloy, admitted to them that the problem affects millions of locks in total. The two researchers say that their attack works only on Vingcard's previous-generation Vision locks, not the company's newer Visionline product. 'There's a good chance that not all the hotels have fixed this.' ![]() ![]() You'll need to choose the same language when you install PC manufacturer's website for additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.

To export the Music library select 'Export Library…' from the 'Library' section of the 'File' menu in Music. If you have smart playlists that you wish to import you will need to export the Music library as an xml file and use the 'Import iTunes Library…' command described below. The 'Import Music App Library' command does not support importing smart playlist rules.

To prevent other applications playing sounds on the same device you may wish to change the audio output device in Swinsian to be different from the system wide output device that is set in the System Preferences. Check that 'Automatically adjust device sample rate' is enabled in the Swinsian preferences. Make sure that both the system wide and Swinsian volume settings are set to maximum. For example a track with the genre 'Rock, Pop' will be shown under both 'Rock' and 'Pop' in the browser. Turn on the 'Recognise multiple genre tags per track' option in the Tags tab of the Swinsian preferences and Swinsian will show tracks under more than one genre if the genre tag value is a list of comma separated values. How do I make Swinsian recognise multiple genres per track? For albums ripped as single files with cue sheets Swinsian will attempt to update the cue file or embedded cue sheet if found. You can customise this behaviour in the preferences if you would prefer to leave the files unchanged. Yes, Swinsian will write any tags you edit back to the original files.

Shot on a budget of well under $1 million, the 1969 guerilla film went on to gross more than $60 million worldwide the Criterion Collection referred to the movie as “the definitive counterculture blockbuster.” After filming finished in 1968, it took Hopper one year to edit 80 hours of footage-which included scenes of real drug use and a jaw-dropping conclusion-into a 95-minute feature that premiered at Cannes on May 12, 1969. Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson also starred, and Fonda co-wrote the script with Terry Southern and Hopper, and produced it.

So all I can say is thank you for taking the time to explain all of this - much appreciated I'm afraid that I can't engage in much discussion about this, because I'm not an expert on the technicalities of different fonts, but since you have taken the time to explain, it would be rude not to reply. Note that until the 2000 Edition of the MUTCD, Series E-Modified was the only variant of Highway Gothic that was available in a official mixed-case alphabet however, the 2000 MUTCD added mixed case versions of Series B (narrowest), C, D, E, and F (widest, rarely used except for digits on some speed limit signs). Clearview tried to fix the halation issue (where letters appear as blobs by someone with less than 20:20 vision when shining lights onto them at night) by reducing stroke thickness, however, this can also be achieved by using a different variant of Highway Gothic such as Series D or the non-Modified version of Series E. Button copy signs are no longer being manufactured, thus the fat strokes aren't really necessary anymore. The variant of Highway Gothic that was particularly problematic was Series E-Modified, which has fatter strokes to accommodate button copy. It is a great font - excellent for application in situations in which visibility is key. Note that Highway Gothic (specifically Series D) is used for runway and taxiway signage at most of the world's airports. I wonder if ADOT will switch back to Clearview if approval is reinstated. There have been several of these signs that have gone up recently on the Loop 101 Price Freeway. Clearview has thinner strokes compared to Highway Gothic Series E-Modified.Ĭurrently ADOT is trying to achieve the same benefits as Clearview by using the non-Modified version of Highway Gothic Series E, which has thinner strokes than Series E-Modified. The version of Highway Gothic that Clearview was initially compared to was Series E-Modified (the standard font used for mixed-case guide legend on most freeway signs), which has fat strokes to accommodate button copy, an obsolete sign manufacturing method. However, there have been some recent tests that don't agree with the FHWA's decision to rescind the interim approval.Ĭompared to Highway Gothic, Clearview is somewhat curvier, which IMO gives the font a more feminine appearance. The Clearview font is a font that is supposedly supposed to be more legible than the standard Highway Gothic font, however, what led the FHWA to rescind its interim approval were some tests that found it to be equal or less legible in certain applications (particularly the narrower variants of Clearview, as well as when used in negative contrast orientation aka dark on light). ![]() The FHWA rescinded its interim approval in February 2016, causing many states to protest that decision. Representative Sam Johnson has introduced a bill that will require the FHWA to approve the Clearview font for positive contrast (light on dark) road signs. ![]() 1/6/2024 0 Comments Alfred eisenstaedt biography![]() ![]() However, he added that it was important to avoid an escalation of conflict between Russia and the West as a result of it feeling the war had become "against Russia itself." Flight from the Holocaust and back "This may seem very hollow to nations that have been under Russian pressure for much of the Cold War period," he said. Later, speaking via video link in January 2023 to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kissinger said Russia must be given the opportunity to one day rejoin the international system following any peace deal in Ukraine and dialogue with the country must be ongoing. Those comments came about three months after Russian forces invaded Ukraine. He drew criticism for suggesting in May 2022 that Ukraine should cede some land to Russia to achieve a peace deal.

"The task for policymakers in his view is a modest, essentially negative one - namely, not to steer the world along some preordained path to universal justice but to pit power against power to rein in the assorted aggressions of human beings and to try, as best they can, to avert disaster," Gewen said in his 2020 book " The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World." To Barry Gewen, a New York Times Book Review editor, Kissinger's idealism was based on negativism and pessimism. But the same year, a massive biography by conservative historian Niall Ferguson portrayed Kissinger as an idealist who followed the vision of Kant rather than the realpolitik of Clausewitz or Bismarck. ![]() was still paying the price of Kissinger's policies.
