![]() ![]() One of the first things I was impressed with was just how much work was put into the details of each character in Grim Fandango Remastered. Unfortunately, things don’t go quite as planned, forcing Manny to flee from El Marrow and on a grand adventure to right a wrong he may or may not have been responsible for. Manny becomes frustrated with the clients he’s been assigned, so he takes matters into his own hands and decides to steal one from his boss, Don Copal. You play as Manny Calavera who is a travel agent for the Department of Death in El Marrow, although we learn he’s a reluctant employee as he’s forced into his job in order to work off a debt. Grim Fandango Remastered features the classic story many of us recall from the original Grim Fandango that was released back in 1998. With the inclusion of director’s commentary, this appears to be the ultimate package for fans of the original game-but just like the film noir style from which Grim Fandango takes its inspiration, not everything is as it seems. Grim Fandango Remastered brings the classic point-and-click adventure to the modern day as Double Fine has improved much of the game’s graphics, improved lighting, and remastered audio, among other special features. One of the best games from the days when LucasArts was considered one of the kings of adventure games was Grim Fandango, which is why Tim Schafer and Double Fine decided it would be one of the first titles it would give the remastered treatment. ![]() LucasArts was known for delivering top-notch adventure games back in the day that required its players to put a lot of thought to complete puzzles, all the while entertaining with wit and humor that keeps fans playing their games over and over again. Ask any fan of old-school adventure games who their favorite development studio is, and you’ll hear many say LucasArts. ![]()

I called BS on that and said there was no way I would let them remote access my computer, so I send them a video proving the drive was still not accessible. They needed evidence the drive still wasn't readable, then they said "Oh we need to do a remote session". When I contacted them for a refund, they gave me the runaround. The upgrade was worthless, and rebuilding the MBR did nothing at all. I just needed to rebuild the MBR.Īnyhow, long story short it required "an upgrade" which I bought, since "trustpilot" had given them a decent review. Not only that, they described it as a free solution. I have an external SSD that lost it's file structure during a power outage, and the specifics of how it was failing were very clearly described on the EASEUS web site. I wish I had found your post on reddit before I fell for the same trap. Supported Devices: Hard drive (HDD/SSD), External hard drive, Hybrid Hard Drive (SSDH), USB, SD card, CF Card, digital cameras, etc."Īsking customers desperate to get back a file they needed, to be familiar up front with the minutiae of every possible situation that could have led to failure of data recovery, in order to have a snowball's chance in hell of qualifying for a refund on their carefully worded policy that creates loopholes for every possible situation, while claiming that their product is risk-free with a 30 day money back guarantee, is predatory marketing and sales at its worst. "Supported OS: Windows 10/8/8.1/7/Vista/XP, Windows Server 2019/2016/2012/2008/2003 Supported Cases: Deleting, formatting, virus infection, OS crash/reinstallation, disk becomes RAW/inaccessible, partition loss, etc. They told me that because TRIM and SSD were incompatible with their product, they would not refund my money, even though on their product page they claim compatibility with all of the following (including SSD): I will be taking this complaint to the Australian Consumer Affairs Tribunal and posting comments on every article and online forum spruiking this software. They basically put the blame on the customer so they can refuse refunds for their deceptively advertised software. No where in the advertising and online information is any mention that SSD data cannot be recovered by easeUS. This is not a user friendly software company it is a data recovery scam and swindle run by thieves and con men who lie and deceive to make a living.ĮaseUS advertising is so deceptive that they promise recovery of data that cannot be recovered. So easeUS refused a refund.īEWARE of this company, they will deceive you and refuse to refund precious money that customers are fooled into paying easeUS. So why deceive people into thinking easeUS can recover data from SSDs, a format of drive that many people are using these days? This was their logic, because it was my SSD that it was not easeUS softwares fault for the complete lack of recovery. The easeUS software knew it was a SSD and I certainly knew this patently obvious information. I contacted "technical help" and they sent me a link to an infantile crude wiki page on how to determine what kind of drive I am using! I couldn't believe it, I think a ten year old child could offer me more help than these morons. After accidentally deleting weeks of animations I purchased easeUS data recovery software for over One Hundred dollars, I recovered all the animations and they were all empty black movies. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you shake the controller, it'll accelerate even faster. ![]() The Left Stick moves, and Y accelerates.The classic Mario bullet enemy - you'll first find it in the Sand Kingdom, but it appears in other locations throughout the game too.Use this to seek out far-away objectives.

![]() And so I found myself on her sofa, drinking prosecco and watching the opening animation of Theme Hospital. ![]() “I downloaded it again the other week,” she told me. “The humour seemed to work, the British things translated.” Hospital workers themselves have always had a particular interest in the game: at the US launch, a doctor told the team: “I am just fascinated about how much you have got right.”īut why did we, as nine or ten-year-old girls, love it so much? Shortly before speaking to Carr and Webley, I asked a friend who had been part of our pre-adolescent gaming posse about it. “I think they like a lot of nurturing games,” says Carr. When pirated copies are also taken into account, the most popular market for Theme Hospital is China, where, the makers say, it is almost a household name (Russia also contains a huge fan base). The combination of British-style hospital culture – complete with 1950s-style iron beds, and nods to Carry On Doctor – and American-style healthcare profiteering turned out to be an epidemic success. Science and Technical Research and Development.Infrastructure Management - Transport, Utilities.Information Services, Statistics, Records, Archives.Information and Communications Technology.HR, Training and Organisational Development.Health - Medical and Nursing Management.Facility / Grounds Management and Maintenance.“The fun of it was because we were making a piece of entertainment, making the strange illnesses.” We weren’t medical people, so why not rack the whole thing up and make it ridiculous?” “This was never about taking the mickey out of the health service,” Mark Webley, the producer and designer of Theme Hospital adds. “So we just tried to take the comical approach. “We were seeing all these really quite horrific things that people go through in their lives and it isn’t easy to turn that into entertainment,” Gary Carr, the artist for Theme Hospital, tells the New Statesman. In fact, despite visiting several British hospitals and even observing surgery in research for their game, its makers decided to inject comedy rather than gritty realism. “A grisly computer game which shows a doctor operating with a chainsaw is to be used as a training aid for NHS managers,” the Evening Standard reported in the month of its release, adding that medical groups had condemned the game. Perhaps it is not surprising then, that Theme Hospital’s initial press diagnosis was deeply serious. Tony Blair had spent the run up to the poll attacking the Tories for mismanagement of the NHS and promising to build hospitals. Crammed into the downstairs cupboard of her parents’ – themselves doctors – otherwise large and lovely home, we became the masters of our own hospital, Theme Hospital: a pastel-coloured, retro-patterned, pixelated dolls house in which there were counterproductive numbers of KitKat machines.Ĭonceived in the dying days of John Major’s Conservative government, Theme Hospital was released on PC in 1997 – the same year as New Labour’s election landslide. Now all of the garbage and patients will disappear allowing you a fresh start.As Edinburgh’s doctors dealt with rising obesity and a heroin epidemic, across the city my friend and I were taking on our own medical emergencies: bloated heads and elongated tongues. To get a clean hospital, save the game and reload it again when the hospital becomes full. Return to the game and press any of the following: Effect The first thing you do is open a green ? fax and enter 24328 on the pad then press the big button in the top right. ![]() ![]() Note that the pointer might be hidden, but it's still there. Then click on the level you want to skip to. When you are on the board screen (just before the level), press the C button. After that, re-place your reception table and the epidemic will not happen again. Wait or hasten the timer (by sending one of the infected patient home), when the time is up, the Health Minister will not show up because there is no where to go to. When an epidemic event happened, before the time is up (when the Health Minister showed up on your map), delete the reception table. It will dissappear instantly! You can now return the object to it original place. Whenever you have trash or vomit around, simply pick up a bench, fire extinghuisher, radiator or a drinks machine, and place it on the garbage. To get to the rat shoot level without cheating shoot (left click on)a lot of rats in a hospital (i killed 10 and got to it) Start the game using the hospital -L command line, it will then open the game is the level you want. Press buttons 7287 on the fax machine to shoot rats at the end of the level. ![]() ![]() ![]() Below that is an app row and, further down, sections devoted to inputs and particular streaming apps. The top two-thirds of the screen are devoted to the weather, setup tips, a search window and a Trending Now section with a random collection of TV shows and movies. But it has fewer apps and more, well, junk. Instead there's a full-screen homepage, similar to Roku, Fire TV and Android TV. Gone is the small, unobtrusive overlay at the bottom of the screen that lets you keep tabs on what you're watching. LG's webOS menu system got a facelift for 2021 - and I'm not a fan. The G1 also works with Apple's AirPlay 2 system, just like many other TVs, allowing my iPhone to share photos and video to the screen from the Photos app and mirror my Mac and phone screens. Basics like "What's the weather?" works as you'd expect, complete with onscreen feedback. It responded just like I'd expect from a smart speaker to my "Alexa" commands.īased on my experience with the CX, both Google and Alexa can do all the usual assistant stuff, including control smart home devices, answer questions and respond via a voice coming out of the TV's speakers (yep, both voices). ![]() The G1 is also equipped with a far-field mic (not available on the C1) so you can simply say the wake word to get the TV to respond, no remote required. And as I mentioned at the top, it doesn't even come with a tabletop stand: If you want a stand mount, it will cost $100 extra. It measures just 0.8 inches deep and is designed for nearly flush wall-mounting. Like many sets these days the G1 is pretty much all picture when seen from the front, but it's the side view that sets it apart. Check out our guide to OLED burn-in for more.Ī TV doesn't get any more minimalist than this. We at CNET don't consider burn-in a reason for most people to avoid buying an OLED TV, however. All OLED TVs are more subject to both temporary and permanent image retention, aka burn-in, than LCD TVs.High-end LCDs (especially with HDR) are brighter than OLEDs, but the picture quality on OLED TVs, including that of this G1, is superior overall. The best LCD TVs I've reviewed so far scored a 9 in image quality, while OLEDs TVs like the G1 have scored a 10.OLED display technology is fundamentally different from the LED LCD technology used in the vast majority of today's TVs, including Samsung and TCL's QLED models.The C1 also lacks a far-field mic for hands-free voice and a Next-Gen TV tuner, both relatively minor extras included on the G1. It differs from the less expensive C1 series by offering fewer sizes (the C1 has 48-inch and 82-inch options too), that Evo panel and the slimmer, wall-mount-centric Gallery design. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have yet to try this under other hosts on my machine (I have Cakewalk SONAR and Tracktion on here at least), I’m afraid to see what they do, too. What is the “right” way to corelate events? in the context of multiple hosts which seem to have different behaviours. So I guess my question generally is a) WTF? b) how are people handling note on / note off, polyphony, voice stealing, etc. So I have no idea of knowing which note on event this note-off may be a response to.īasically in a nutshell: the behaviour to handle -1/0 pairs for the JUCE VST host causes stuck notes on VSTPluginTestHost. But worse, the note off events with 0 do not have a valid pitch to use to correlate with. However, coming back to testing in VSTPluginTestHost now I’m finding that it also sometimes sends -1 for the note ID. Three Dots: Share or Delete your Quick Note. Grid Icon: Open the Quick Notes folder in the Notes app. The only confusing thing is that the noteId I’m receiving on the NoteOffEvent is “0”, not -1, which is not consistent with the documentation. Done: Tap Done to tuck the note away when you’re finished. So in my code what I’ve attempted to do is look for -1 and if it’s there, substitute the pitch value for the ID, which isn’t ideal because in that case a “release phase” for a given note can’t happen for multiple strikes of the same key. you must trigger a note off event later for this note by calling NoteOff. ![]() ![]() Int32 noteId ///< note identifier (if not available then -1) A list of keyzones define what samples play when what notes are hit. In that implementation the noteId on NoteOnEvent is always “-1”, which isn’t great, but is acceptable according to the comments in NoteEvent: However I’m making an effort to by cross-platform, and to test in multiple hosts, so I’ve been working in Linux using the “Carla” host which works with Jack there and its VST3 hosting seems to be based on pieces from JUCE. I use this to corelate note on and off events and manage my polyphony. In the VSTPluginTestHost, for each note event I receive a valid noteId. I’m writing a VST3 instrument plugin for the first time, and in testing I see inconsistent behaviour from various hosts in regards to note on and note off events, and I wanted to see if anybody has any tips on how they’ve handled this. ![]() ![]() ![]() You only need to activate the cloud sync functionality to use it, and you can retrieve your data anywhere at any time. The app features a native cloud service that syncs your templates, contacts, and groups.

Grab the Notify service Sid and add it to your. Once it’s created, you need to configure it with the messaging service that you created in the last step. Let’s see how.įirst up you need to create yourself a new Notify service in the Twilio console. Using Notify you can send hundreds, even thousands of messages in just one API request. We could write the code to queue the messages to be sent creating greater complexity in our application or we could reach into the bag of Twilio tricks and pull out one that is going to save us a lot of time and effort. Due to the asynchronous nature of Node.js and the Twilio API’s concurrency limits, you might find errors. If you’re really successful you might break the 100 subscriber mark quickly, but success can breed problems. As your numbers start to grow you’re sending more and more notifications about impending ice cream delivery. You’re public with your alerts subscription and your friends have all been telling their friends about it. Now run the code with npm run multipack and we’re sending multiple messages using our new messaging service. Instead of using a “From” number to send messages, we can now use this messaging service’s Sid. Now go to the numbers section for this service and add the number you have been using to send SMS messages. ![]() Jump into the Twilio console and create a new Messaging Service, enter a friendly name “Ice cream notifications” and select “Notifications, outbound only” from the use case drop down. As our subscriber base grows we can add numbers to keep up with demand and avoid having our messages filtered. Messaging services can pool numbers and scale sending out over the whole pool. We can prepare for this with a messaging service. Carriers in some countries implement filtering on your numbers and sending messages to more than 200 subscribers from a single number can trigger this filtering. If we get up to 60 subscribers this is going to take a whole minute to send the messages and it gets worse from there. A regular Twilio number can only send 1 message per second. You might have 5 or 10 subscribers now, but hopefully more will be coming in the future. Before we do, it’s worth considering that this is a growing enterprise. Now we need to loop over these numbers and send the messages. Once you’ve got those bits sorted create a new directory to work with and initialise it with npm and install the modules we’ll need: A Twilio account and a Twilio number that can send SMS messages.Node.js and npm (I’m using the latest LTS version of Node.js, 8.9.1).To follow along with this post and code the same features you’re going to need a couple of things: In this post we’ll look at how to work up from sending the first message to subscriber number 1 to up to 10,000 messages with Node.js. Look, I know what you’re thinking: “It’s December, hardly time for ice cream!” But, I’m in Melbourne right now enjoying a toasty 31☌ Summer day so icy cold things are on my mind right now. You want to improve business by sending SMS alerts when you’re in your van so that your customers will know you’re on your way to deliver some sweet refreshment. Sending a single SMS with Twilio is a relatively straightforward affair, but what if you had to send 10 messages? Or 10,000? ![]() ![]() ![]() * - This unit is a disastrous waste of metal and time ** - This unit is poor and is generally very rarely seen. *** - A half decent unit, though there are far better options available. **** - Important unit, its uses are more specialised but still effective.
