Astro audio splitter12/29/2023 Your computer should automatically detect the MixAmp and headset as an audio device for both input and output. A switch on the back panel puts the MixAmp into PC or console mode.Ĭonnecting the MixAmp Pro TR to your computer is simple: Just plug the included 10-foot micro USB cable into a free port on your PC and put the switch on the back into the right position. The back features the rest of its connections, including a micro USB port, an optical audio input, a 3.5mm aux input, a 3.5mm "stream" port for outputting audio commentary to a separate capture device, and two daisy-chain ports for connecting multiple MixAmps, for entire esports teams or commentary groups. An indicator to the left of the port shows whether the MixAmp is in PC or its respective console mode. The headset connects through the single 3.5mm port on the MixAmp's front panel. Two small buttons between the knobs toggle Dolby audio processing and switch between four different EQ settings (Astro's custom EQ, a sculpted Balanced EQ, a flat EQ, and a Tournament EQ preset that emphasizes certain frequency bands specifically for accurate imaging in esports). The left knob controls master volume, while the slightly smaller right knob controls voice chat and game audio balance. The top panel is dominated by two large, gunmetal knobs with backlit indicator notches that glow white when the microphone is active and red when it's muted. The new MixAmp Pro TR is a dark gray box measuring 1.8 by 5.4 by 3.6 inches (HWD), with fairly stark corners and edges in contrast with the glossier, more rounded design of its predecessor. It's a redesigned version of the MixAmp Pro TR offered with the 2016 model. If you spend the extra $100 for the A40 + MixAmp Pro TR we tested, however, you'll probably be plugging that headset cable directly into the front of the included MixAmp Pro TR, a headphone amp and mixer designed to work with your PC and either PS4 or Xbox One (depending on which version you get). It terminates in a four-pole 3.5mm plug, so you can use it with any modern game console, PC (PCs with separate headphone and microphone ports require a splitter, included with the standalone A40 but not with the A40 + MixAmp Pro TR), or smartphone with a headphone jack. The A40 connects to your preferred device with an included 6.5-foot cable with an inline mic mute switch. The result is a comfortable fit that won't weigh your head down. The boom arm is very flexible, and can pivot a full 360 degrees.Īt just 13 ounces without the cable, the A40 is slightly lighter than the previous version, and remarkably lighter than most other high-end headsets we've tested in general. It's removable, attaching to the back of the left earcup. The boom microphone is a long, black rubber stick with a plastic capsule on the end featuring an aluminum grille. You can also get additional open-back speaker tag sets for $40, featuring designs based around Call of Duty, Halo, and Nintendo. The Mod Kit is available in blue, green, red, and a dark gray Halo-themed version. The headset can be converted into a closed-back version with Astro's optional $60 Mod Kit (Opens in a new window), which includes closed-back speaker tags, synthetic leather earpads and headband pad, and a voice-isolating replacement microphone. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Turtle Beach Atlas One Review The underside of the headband has a rectangular pad made of the same material as the earpads, mounted between two flexible, sturdy plastic bands. The over-ear earpads are memory foam covered with soft, breathable black cloth. It's mostly matte black plastic around the earcups and headband, with aluminum struts on the sides connecting them and allowing for smooth vertical adjustment to tweak the fit. The headset itself is very similar to the previous A40's design, with some tweaked colors and finishes. It's worth your attention if you're looking for a tournament-level wired gaming headset, even if it doesn't stand out as the absolute best in its field. The $249.99 package, which includes both the A40 TR headset and MixAmp Pro TR USB headphone amp (available for PC and Playstation 4, or PC and Xbox One) has a light, comfortable fit and very strong audio performance. The latest version of Astro's wired A40 TR headset with MixAmp Pro TR faces some very stiff competition in the high-end wired headset field, though. Its wireless A50 headset offers excellent build quality and performance, and its A10 remains one of our top picks for budget wired headsets.

Raspberry pi zero w repetier server12/29/2023 It can happen that you can not connect with your device to the access point. Encryption algorithm is by default WPA2-AES. The name is by default RepetierServer with password 12345678. In the start configuration the Repetier-Server will switch to access point mode, so you are able to configure it with a mobile or pc connected over wifi to the access point network. This config is not deletable in the wlan settings! Problems with Access Point On the next reboot this config will be used with priority. In older images or if you want you create the file /boot/repetier-network.xml which should like this, just with correct data:īecause it is in the /boot directory, you can also just insert the sd card to your pc and windows will show that directory (you see the linux config files cmdline.txt and config.txt as well). All better text editors do this, but not notepad or wordpad! Older image versions It is crucial that your editor uses unix style end line encodings (only line feed, no carriage return line feed). Any change to that file will cause a reinstall on next boot. Change the settings and rename it to wpa_nf and reboot and our scripts will detect this and install it accordingly and disable Repetier-Server control. In the /boot folder (the one you see also under windows) is a file wpa_ that contains all instructions as comments. This bypasses any Repetier-Server actions, so the server will not interfere. Starting with image version 25 you can provide the exact wpa supplicant file directly. There is also the possibility to define the connection settings manually. Wermy documented his development steps and published them on Imgur on April 6, 2016.Normally you can use the wifi in access point mode or an existing ethernet connection to configure your wifi network. A converted game plugin module, including SD card, finally ensures that the minicomputer can access the Game Boy’s hardware. The console runs on the operating system RetroPie, a distribution that contains emulators for different consoles, making it possible to play other classic games (including SNES, NES) that only need to be downloaded as ROM. His “Game Boy Zero” project not only has a color display, but also a USB A and micro USB jacks, a mini HDMI slot, and two additional control buttons. Now, a hobbyist who goes by the pseudonym “wermy” has breathed new life into an old classic, with the help of Raspberry Pi Zeroes. For more than a quarter of a century, Game Boy rewrote gaming history and dominated the market with games like Tetris or Super Mario. Nearly 120 million copies of the console have been sold. In 1989, Nintendo released the Game Boy, one of the most successful portable game consoles of all time – until it was replaced by the color-coded Game Boy Color (1998). The HDMI connectors of the Raspberry Pi 4 have been replaced with a mini HDMI type connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for space reasons. WLAN and Bluetooth 4.2 ensure that the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is suitable for almost any project despite the lacking Ethernet connection. The previous single-core CPU has been replaced by a more powerful quad-core processor. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W packs in more power compared to the 2015 model. Another advantage is that due to the identical dimensions to the predecessor models, existing cases can simply be reused.Īlthough nothing has changed in terms of size, performance is a very different matter. At a board width of 30mm, a length of 65mm and a height of just 5mm, the mini computer is suitable for all sorts of interesting Raspberry Pi Zero applications. It is similar to its predecessors in terms of dimensions. The latest member of the Raspberry Pi Zero family is the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, which has been available since October 2021. The concept of the miniature computer was a success, and various successors followed in the footsteps of the Raspberry Pi Zero. To this end, the Raspberry Pi Foundation expanded its single-board computer family back in November 2015 with the Raspberry Pi Zero coming in at a weight of just nine grams. The Raspberry Pi Zero was primarily developed as a minicomputer for projects which use every last bit of space.

Yanni laurel better ears12/29/2023 Recall that there was a lot of noise and a significant reduction in the audio signal at 6 kHz – an interesting clue. Let’s go back to that original spectrogram. If you’re a younger or more hearing-conscious person, maybe the low pass helped you understand how anyone could say it’s actually “Laurel.” If you’re older or have experienced plenty of loud noises without ear protection (or both), hopefully you were able to hear “Yanny” in the high-passed audio file. Let’s take a listen to the clip with a low pass filter at 1 kHz: Young people are therefore more likely to hear “Yanny,” while older people and frequent irresponsible enjoyers of loud music might gravitate towards “Laurel.” The miracles of modern audio processing tools, however, allow us to correct for this. So when you do things to damage your hearing like go to rock concerts without earplugs, listen to your headphones or stereos too loudly, fire a gun without protective gear, or have your “friend” scream in your ear, these sensitive cilia get destroyed.” These are also the most easily destroyed. “The most sensitive cilia are the ones closest to the outside: only a tiny vibration is needed to set them in motion. According to Ethan Siegel at It Starts With A Bang, Older people have lost more cilia in the course of their lifetimes than younger people, so it stands to reason that they have less ability to hear higher frequencies, but it is also very possible to destroy these cilia, even at a young age. Which frequency you are predisposed to hear depends on a few factors, including your listening environment, age, and lifestyle.Īs we age, our stereocilia (the tiny hairs in our ears whose responses to changes in air pressure allow our brains to process these changes as sound) begin to lose their potency. Since the “ee” vowel sound we hear in “Yanny” lives in a higher frequency range, and the “o” and “oo” sounds of “Laurel” live in a lower range, we’re more likely to hear one or the other if we’re predisposed to hear a higher or lower frequency range. When we listen to noisy audio, our brains work harder to identify patterns and interpret what we’re hearing. We’ll get into that later, but first let’s talk about noise. There are a few important things to note here, but the most obvious abnormality is that the signal drops off sharply around 6 kHz. Amplitudes of the signal’s individual frequency bands are more randomly distributed throughout the spectrum – clear evidence of an informal phone or laptop mic recording. In case you’re not familiar with audio spectra, we’re looking at a visual representation of all the audible frequencies of a given audio signal.Īs you can see, the spectrogram of this audio is quite noisy. I dropped it into Ableton so we could get a better look at the audio’s spectrogram. I started by ripping the audio from the original video from reddit. In this post, I’m going to examine the Great Yanny / Laurel Debate from an audio science and psychoacoustics perspective, because I’m procrastinating on my real work. Twitter data shows 47% of people on the site hear “Yanny” and 53% hear “Laurel.” Even CBS cares about this for some reason. Some people hear “Yanny” when they listen to it, others hear “Laurel,” a handful hear both, and everyone is freaking out. There’s a video with a recording of a man saying the word “Laurel” for. Laurel, but here’s a perfunctory intro in case you have made the intelligent decision to not pay attention to this.

Storywriting space game12/29/2023 Kevin Donovan wrote a first-hand account of what he described as “the loudest sound I’ve ever heard in Boston.” The next day MIT’s Jim Walsh, an international security expert, wrote about what we did and didn’t know, how to invoke patience in that in-between, and cited Boston’s signature grit and determination, assuring us: “They picked on the wrong city.” Here & Now’s Robin Young wrote about speaking to an ER doctor at Boston Medical Center. Meanwhile, she figured out Cog’s roadmap for covering major news events. Ryan/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)Ĭog’s founding editor, Frannie Carr Toth, practically slept at her desk, trying to make sense of what had happened and help our colleagues in the newsroom report the story. Two explosions went off near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Overnight, Boston was the focal point of a rapidly unfolding international story. Of course, four days later, everything changed: two pressure-cooker bombs exploded in quick succession near the finish line on Boylston Street, killing three and injuring hundreds of others. His piece, on the “beauty” of the marathon, is essentially about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. On April 11, 2013, the Thursday before the marathon - which is always run on Monday, Patriot’s Day - Cog published its first reflection on the storied race: an essay by longtime marathon-watcher and WBUR alum, Alex Ashlock. All winter long, you see packs of runners testing their legs and their lungs on the four rollers of Newton’s Heartbreak Hill. If you live in New England, you know that spring in Boston is punctuated by an annual tradition: the running of the Boston Marathon. This story is part of Cognoscenti 10, a series celebrating 10 years of WBUR's home for ideas and opinions. But how would we articulate our approach? Cog is run by a tiny staff, and often, we’re doing our best to keep up with the news, just like our readers are. It’s something we think about all the time, because, frankly, rage would be easier. We’ve always intended to do more than add to the cacophony that dominates so much opinion writing - rage-fueled clickbait that taps into people’s anger and fear. When Cognoscenti began publishing essays a decade ago, the world looked a whole lot different.īarack Obama was running for reelection, social media was on the radar (but not omnipresent), and we were thinking about things like celebrity chefs and “Mad Men.” Since Day 1, Cog has aspired to be part of a conversation, to offer a lens that invites connection.

Coconutbattery for mac12/29/2023 Just connect the device to your Mac with the USB cable and click the “iOS Device” tab. Here’s a snap of what coconutBattery has to say about my wife’s phone: If you want coconutBattery will save a history of that battery health as well. I don’t have many PPC laptops left but when I had them in abundance I used coconutBattery to see how well battery calibrations performed. Overall coconutBattery is a very useful tool and best of all it’s FREE! At the time of writing system requirements are macOS 10.11-10.14 but older versions are available (though with less features). To read out iOS battery info you need at least iOS 7 on your device. A paid version is now available called coconutBattery Plus but to me the additional features are not worth the $10. If you want to play with Plus and/or support development of future versions, $10 is more than worth it for an app some of us have been using since the PPC days. I mentioned battery calibrations right? Well that brings me to the companion app (it’s not really a companion app but on laptops I always use them both). Watts is a utility that lets you know when your battery is due for a calibration. If you are worrying due to your lower battery Design Capacity, Don’t Worry!

Airborne kingdom nomads orrery12/28/2023 The population of the Air Nomads is small compared to even the Water Tribe and is far smaller than either of the world's two major powers, the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom. They have a small economy, based entirely on limited agriculture. The Air Nomads make up the smallest of the four nations in the world. They also are fun-loving and have a strong sense of humor. They are the most spiritual of all the cultures and live in harmony with nature. The Air Nomads are a peaceful race who live in large temples and travel the world on flying bison. Unlike the other nations, the people of the Air Nomads are, without any seen exception, all benders due to the high level of spirituality of their people. The theocratic Air Nomads are home to a monastic order of men and women who practiced airbending. One of the four major nations, the Air Nomads were wanderers by definition, but later built four air temples, one at each corner of the globe, hidden away atop mountain ranges in the northern Earth Kingdom and on three remote islands. In the central location of the world lies Imperial City, a city created by Avatars past to promote harmony, with benders and non-benders of all types living together among the city.Īir Nomads is a collective term for a nation of people who practice the discipline of airbending. Each nation has a predominant season, and geography has a great influence on the customs and culture of each country. The Fire Nation is located in the west of the world and is an archipelago of volcanic islands. There are two main Water Tribes, situated north and south of the Earth Kingdom, the most expansive and populated state in the world. The Air Nomads have four temples located in the north, south, east, and west of the Earth. Each location has unique physical geography, landmarks, climates, and demography which conform to the quality or attributes of the nation's corresponding element. When that’s done, proceed dead ahead and you’ll see the glowing crate backed up against the wall.The World of Avatar is divided into four independent nations: the Air Nomads, the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Nation. Now that he’s dealt with, head up to where he was initially and deal with the rest of the resistance.It’s worth baiting him down the elevated platform he’s on and down towards the steps so you can’t be hit by his Vex mates. Now’s a good time to pop your Super and focus him down straight away. Once the area is clear, make your way up the large steps ahead and you’ll come face to face with more Vex and the mini-boss Thyrdron.It’s crucial you take these guys out as they’ll chunk your health bar badly. Also watch out for sniper Hobgoblins situated on the ledges above you, both to the left and dead ahead. You’ll be greeted by some hefty Vex resistance just over to your right, so use the large stone pillars as cover and take them out - a grenade comes in real handy here.Gun your way towards this passageway and wind your way around its corners. You’ll come to a room with a long drop to your right and another narrow entrance directly ahead. Proceed through the narrow gap, turn left and proceed forwards.Upon closer inspection the entrance widens out and leads into a cavern adorned with Vex architecture. The entrance is somewhat tucked away here, but you’ll find the Lost Sector symbol on a light-brown rock formation to the left of a large white rock jutting out to the right. (If you want to be the best at every area of the game, don't forget to bookmark our PVP, Strike and Subclass guide pages - they've got everything you need if you want to get more out of Destiny 2, and will be continuously updated in the weeks ahead.) What’s more, we’ve detailed this walkthrough in text form for added clarity just below the video. If you find the video helpful, go ahead and thumbs up the creator as he deserves the credit. You’ll be able to see the Lost Sector’s exact position and the video will guide you through which turns to take and how to progress towards the mini-boss and the all-important loot crate at the end. It shouldn't take too long to watch either, as the video we’ve embedded cuts through all the rubbish and simply focuses on The Orrery and nothing else. While we could ramble on for ages on about where exactly it’s found, we’ve provided you with a far easier option by embedding a video which’ll show you how to find it and complete it nice and quickly. Looking to find The Orrery Lost Sector in Destiny 2’s Nessus zone? Imagine your looking on the map at Artifact’s Edge - it’s towards the top right and directly on the “S” on “Artifact’s”. To find the entrance to The Orrery Lost Sector located in the Nessus region of Destiny 2, clear the encounter and take home your loot.
