Its installation file didn’t have any viruses or malware as well. Yes! PIA VPN completely hides your IP address and prevents any DNS leaks. However, the new WireGuard protocol offered by PIA VPN offers fast speed with strong security. OpenVPN gives you the best online protection but at a slower speed. It also uses the two most important VPN protocols i.e. This symmetric cipher algorithm helps you keep all your data encrypted. PIA VPN uses a default AES-128 encryption but for maximum protection, it uses AES-256-bit encryption which is the strongest. Yes, Private Internet Access VPN is completely safe to use because of the strong encryption it uses. The speed of PIA is really fast compared to other top VPNs for torrenting hence it proved to be on the top list. In fact, all of its servers are P2P supported, so there’s no need to find a particular server to download torrents. It has shut down its Hong Kong servers due to the new National Security Laws being implemented in the country that will jeopardize the online protection of the people connected to Hong Kong servers. If you want fast speed, you can decrease encryption intensity to 128-bit. For each server, you can manually select the encryption level and protocol. PIA VPN has a total of 1,519+ servers and has a presence in 46 countries. But does that make PIA VPN completely unsafe? Not quite. It means US authorities can compel companies to share users’ data and intelligence with other countries that fall under 5 eyes.Īlso, the United States has data retention laws that allow them the power to retain users’ data under national security protection. This is certainly not an ideal location for a VPN company because the US falls under 5 eyes country. Private Internet Access is based in Denver, Colorado in the United States. We have tested PIA VPN on all fronts whether it be speed, price, Netflix, encryption, IP/DNS leaks, and so much more that we’ll be covering in this Private Internet Access review. So, even if it is been compelled to share data, it wouldn’t have anything to share. the United States) and rightly so, being a part of 5 eyes country, US authorities have the power to compel PIA into sharing users’ data.īut does that makes Private Internet Access VPN unsafe to use? Not quite! PIA VPN has a zero-log policy which means the company does not store any kind of logs. Most people tend to shy away from PIA VPN because of its country origin ( i.e. You can get PIA VPN for AU$3.17/mo (US$ 2.19/mo) on a 3-year + 3 free months plan, a good option if you’re looking for a VPN on a budget. It’s available on almost all major devices and platforms and lets you connect up 10 devices simultaneously. Unfortunately, you might not get the best streaming speeds though, as PIA VPN tends to slow down your internet connection by up to 45%. You can watch Netflix USA, Netflix Japan, and Netflix Germany. PIA VPN review summary: PIA VPN is one of the cheapest VPN services around, offering WireGuard-backed security and 100% activity log-free operations. 3/5/2023 0 Comments Mnml healthThe success of the Kickstarter project makes it easier to show suppliers there is demand for their product, Teo said.įor now, the only way to buy the product is to pre-order it by contributing to the Kickstarter. “They just find us, love what we’re doing and back us.” “Thirty-three percent of our funding has come from organic traffic,” Sydorenko said. Now, strangers are donating to the company, Sydorenko said. After reaching their initial goal, Kickstarter began organically promoting the campaign to users on the site who are unfamiliar with the company. Weinberg junior Liliana Sydorenko, who serves as the product development lead, said the campaign’s success is due to their family and friends’ support. Within two hours of the launch, the company surpassed its goal and has now received $15,000 - with a month of campaigning still to go. 3 with the official goal of raising $5,000, but Teo said they hoped to reach $15,000 or $30,000 by the end of the campaign. Minimal Snacks launched a Kickstarter on Jan. “Biltong was something I had never heard of before, and I was excited to try it.” Weinberg senior Ansh Prasad, co-founder and CEO, said he joined the company because he was drawn to how unique biltong was. The product also contains zero grams of sugar and 23 grams of protein in each bag. “This super flavorful, healthy snack that somehow nobody knew about was something I thought we could bring to American consumers by adjusting the recipe.” “It really started with biltong,” Teo said. Only three other ingredients are in the jerky: red wine vinegar, shiitake extract and salt. After discovering the food through a family friend, biltong became the foundation of Minimal Snacks’ first product, MNML Air Dried Beef. Teo said biltong, a dried meat popular in South Africa, was the key to realizing his vision. “I really thought there was space for bringing foods back that actually resemble the real world.” Where do you find orange triangles in the real world?” Teo said. Ryan Teo (McCormick ’21), founder of Minimal Snacks, said he developed the idea for the company after attending a lecture on popular snacks in an engineering and entrepreneurship class. Minimal Snacks wants to revolutionize the snack industry through a simple pitch: “Less is more.” 3/5/2023 0 Comments Vintage telephoneHaving understood our telephone, how might we simulate a telephone line to connect it to? I sat down for an evening in the hackerspace with my GPO 746 to find out. (I remember some students at my university getting into trouble for doing this.) Who needs a 2600 Hz tone to scam the telco! The Other Side Of The Socket On some payphones this offered a means to circumvent the coinbox circuit which disabled the dial. The effect is to interrupt the line current and create a series of pulses set by the number dialed, which were originally used in a mechanical exchange to advance the switchgear a step with each pulse.Īn interesting side-effect of this circuit is that with some telephones it was possible to simulate dialing by rapidly depressing the cradle in sequence. It returns at a constant rate set by a governor, and as it does so it closes a set of contacts here labelled SW2 to switch in a low resistance across the handset, and it passes its other contacts, SW1, over a toothed wheel. A spring loaded disk is rotated to a point representing the desired number by the user before being let go. SW1 and SW2 are the contacts in the dial, and since it has become a viral meme that people below a certain age may be unfamiliar with dial phones it’s worth explaining the operation of the dial for them. Thus the exchange can ring the bell by sending an AC voltage on top of the DC standing voltage. Daderot When the handset is put on its cradle SW3 is opened and there is no DC current path, but through the capacitor C1 there is an AC path to the bell B1. The speed governor is diagonally across the mechanism, and the toothed wheel that drives it also serves to operate the left hand contact. The two sets of spring contacts can be seen, on the left the one for pulse dialing and on the right the one that switches in the low resistance across the handset. Any audio on the line is heard in the earpiece, and any speech into the carbon microphone varies that current and creates an audio signal in return.Ī telephone dial, front and rear. When the handset is off the cradle, SW3 is closed, and because the line has a standing DC voltage on it a current flows through the handset. On the left is the handset, with a carbon microphone and an earpiece in series. But its most basic operation can be explained with something like the much-simplified schematic we’ve pictured. A phone like my GPO 746 contains a lot of clever circuitry to give it better audio, and to protect it from line faults, over-voltage, and other mishaps. The great thing about a passive device whose roots lie around the turn of the twentieth century is that its principles are relatively easy to understand. In this diagram SW2 is open and SW3 is closed, so the handset is off the cradle but the dial is not in use. Just How Does A Telephone Work? A grotesquely simplified schematic of a dial phone. It’ll undoubtedly work with my digital answerphone, but will it still work with a 50-year old model with an old-fashioned dial designed for use with a mechanical Strowger exchange? If I’m going to have to hack on this old phone, I’d better figure it out now in case I have to hook it up to something else to keep it communicating. Along a sliver of glass will come faster Internet that I can currently dream of, and I’m expecting that the box that our telephone provider puts on the end of it will have a telephone socket that is simply the front-end of a dedicated VOIP client. If all goes well, I’ll be receiving a new fibre optic connection in a few weeks. If you like old phones, you can still have one, and picture yourself in a 1950s movie as you twirl the handset cord round your finger while you speak.Īs we move inexorably forward, it’s worth considering for how much longer we’ll be able to do this. In a manner of speaking though, your telephone wall socket hasn’t forgotten. The iconic British telephone of the 1960s and 1970s, the GPO model 746. As we move inexorably towards a wireless world in which the telephone line serves only as a vehicle for broadband Internet, it’s easy to forget the last hundred years or more of telephone technology that led up to the present. When we make a telephone call in 2020 it is most likely to be made using a smartphone over a cellular or IP-based connection rather than a traditional instrument on a pair of copper wires to an exchange.
3/5/2023 0 Comments U2 a day without me lyricsIn her lyric notes, Armatrading states that when performing the track for Mandela he danced and smiled all the way through to its conclusion. Where she’s a lot choppier is in her tribute to Nelson Mandela entitled ‘The Messenger.’ The South African leader was a man of fire and rebellion and with lines like ‘we should treat each other/ as we should be treated’ drifting close to sycophancy – there’s a tendency to dilute his politics and almost canonise him. ‘They’ll put the skin of the fruit on the ground/ and watch me slip on it.’ has a double meaning on race that is almost chilling, and her Cobain like opening of ‘some people want to see my blood gush out’ is no less powerful. That’s addressed on the track ‘How Cruel’ where for once she finally punches out and seems much more vital for it. More quiet girl than riot girl, her lack of any obvious political defiance ( it barely makes much of an appearance in her songs ) and the fact that as an artist of colour she has been caught in a curious catch-22 of being too black and not black enough for some has forced her into rare explosions lyrically. From her emergence though into long stretches of her later career, Joan Armatrading has for the most part found herself in a curious middle ground not entirely of her own making. The run of her first albums from ‘whatever for us’ to her self-titled album in 1976 were created in turbulent times in Britain, perfect surroundings for pop, rock and folk musicians to re-energise themselves creatively. Maybe her subject of love is a shield of sorts too. If there’s an anti-silver lining to be found in a song, she’s always cloudbusting for it. Happiness might write white on the page for most songwriters but Joan always seems keen for her muses to leap headfirst into a personal nadir. Although she’s on record as stating that none of her lyrics are statements of her own personal situation – it’s hard not to read something into it. A character in an Armatrading song you sense lives most of their life in their own head, shy ears pressed to walls, perpetually dreaming whilst life’s clock runs down unnoticed. ‘Seeing lovers embrace/make you want to find your corner of happiness.’ The rest of the track paints itself as an ode to personal resurrection but there’s a brittleness there. On ‘Goddess of Change’ there’s a more telling refrain. It’s deliberately oblique, troubling, like a wall protecting itself. Take the lyrics for ‘People’: ‘People all around me/ in love/ in pain/ driving me insane.’ Is the songs character yearning for such emotions or rebelling against them. Some have claimed Armatrading’s songs are about the mystery of love or at least the inherent ache of it but actually, there’s a sense of unrequitedness that runs through her work that is hard to ignore. Now collected in a book by Faber, these published lyrics, stripped of their chords and warmth seem surprisingly bleaker without a soundtrack. ‘East or west/ Where’s the best/ For romancing.’ Great prose that basically calls and tells upon itself. Whilst some of her contemporaries have long since waded into more temperament waters, Armatrading still has a glimmer of what novelist Jim Harrison once described as a sense of echo. What has never altered is her love of language. For over fifty years the English/Kittian singer-songwriter has walked a unique path, shimmering between pop stardom and introspective studio albums that have always seemed more of an elegant puzzle than a revelation. Even now to hear it coming from a passing car or as you stride through a modern and faceless shopping centre – it has the ability to stop you dead, a beautiful reminder that the music of the universe will always usurp the latest garish offerings stood idle in a Primark window.įor Joan Armatrading, that sense of sensuality and magic has always been seminal in her canon of work. There are certain lines that if you have any interest in the alchemy of music and the sheer magic of its collective verse, it’s impossible not to shiver when Joan Armatrading sang the sublime lines – I am not in love/ but I’m open to persuasion from Love and Affection it went way beyond the trivial boundaries of most contemporary music. 3/5/2023 0 Comments Car falling off overpassMann though, said she saw all the information needed.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety says just after 1 a.m., troopers responded to a car that had fallen off the ramp. The single-car crash happened early Saturday morning. PHOENIX - One man is dead, and another man is clinging to life after a car fell more than 70 feet off the I-10 overpass onto I-17 at the Stack. 3/4/2023 0 Comments Mlp the smoozeIn order to do this, Sunny the earth pony and her diverse group of friends must find and unite three magical macguffins (crystals), each representing one of the three types of pony. The central plot is that earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns all live separately and have for a long time, and one plucky little pony, Sunny, wants them all to desegregate and be friends again. Knowing this, I went in expecting a simplistic, childish plot. This one’s for the kids,” it neighs emphatically. Released to Netflix as My Little Pony: A New Generation, even the title is unambiguous for this franchise’s target audience. This article is about G5: the reboot that follows on the heels (hoofs?) of G4 and has a lot to live up to. This generation exploded in popularity, particularly among adult men, spawning conventions and fan creations of such fabulous quality that it boggles the mind.īut the popularity of G4 is a different conversation entirely, and for that, I’ll point you to Jenny Nicholson’s “fandom autopsy”. This probably helped lead to G4, which is the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, which was done in 2D flash animation and had a very crisp, simple visual design. The less said about generation 3, the better in the early naughts, My Little Pony was rebooted with a terrible CGI version that looked like a Lisa Frank fever dream. G1 and G2 were beloved classics and did well enough. (My favorite My Little Pony series, from the early ‘90s, My Little Pony Tales, had a run of 26 episodes and introduced 77 different ponies.) After all, the parent company is Hasbro, a toy company, and certainly, the first and second generations (those that brought us My Little Pony movie of 1986) featured so many ponies that I struggle to name them. I don’t think it’s disingenuous to say that My Little Pony has almost always existed to sell toys. And like many 1980s babies, I’m now a parent myself, meaning that the newest reboot can capitalize on my nostalgia while selling their toy lines to the newest crop of consumers: my children. This struck me as a surprising question because, as a person born in the 1980s, of course I have a certain fond nostalgia for the brightly colored, animated ponies. When I mentioned to my mother-in-law that I was writing a review of My Little Pony, her first, knee-jerk reaction was, “Why?” 3/4/2023 0 Comments Disk aid free downlaodPhoto libraries that had been synced using iTunes to older or alternative type of devices like iPods Classic or Nano can alternatively be copied with the additional free application PicsAid!

In the end, Disk Space Fan wasn't exactly difficult to use, but we felt like we had to spend too much time trying to figure out how to navigate the interface and interpret the graphs.ĭisk Space Fan installs politely but leaves a folder behind upon removal. The online Help file is adequate, even though it opens in Internet Explorer whether you want it to or not. Yes, it looks cool, but it just didn't seem like a very efficient, easy-to-process way to display the information. Users can click on each ring to display a new ringschart that drills down deeper into the directory. This is where the program really puts form over function, displaying the results in what the program calls a "ringschart." A central circle represents the directory, with a series of nested rings representing each level in the directory. Users can then have the program scan each disk and analyze its contents. The program opens with a list of available disks down the left side, and clicking on each one displays a pie chart showing the amount of full and free disk space. We're all for an uncluttered interface, but this program takes it a little too far. The main problem that we encountered with Disk Space Fan is that it tries a little too hard to be cool, favoring sleek graphics over useful descriptions. Although the program works just fine, it's definitely not the most intuitive we've ever seen. Disk Space Fan allows users to see exactly what's taking up room on their computers and eliminates the space-wasters. This not only takes up space that could be used to store useful data, but also contributes to poor performance. After months or years of use, it's not uncommon for computers to become cluttered with unneeded and duplicate files. 3/4/2023 0 Comments Hvac manifold gauges【Package include】-Vacuum pump*1 (with vacuum oil*1), manifold gauge*1, Pressure hose*3, car quick couplers*2, 5/16 SAE-1/4 SAE adapters*2, 1/2 ACME-1/4 adapters* 1.It also make your work moveable and easy to start on its design of handle and manual switch. 【Powerful Vacuum Pump】-It delivers 3.6 CFM flow rate and 150 Micron vacuum with low noise, which guarantees the vacuum steady of the system.【Heavy Pressure Hose】-with three high-strength pressure hoses, red for high-pressure pipes, blue for low-pressure pipes, yellow for vacuum pumps 5FT long for each one, 1/4 SAE to 1/4 SAE, 800 PSI working pressure 4000 PSI burst pressure.This gauge could be hung on the car/air conditioner cover or other high places through the top hook, freeing your hands for more works. 【Manifold Gauge】-You could directly read the temperature(℉) and pressure(psi) of R12/R22/R134a/R410a refrigerant on the professional dial.【Complete Kit】-an complete refrigerant injection kit for MINI/HVAC/AUTO AC system, with a large-capacity tool bag that can carry all the accessories needed at one time.PACKAGE INCLUDED: Multicolored set of three 36” hoses, Manifold Gauge, R134 Can Tap, Vacuum Pump Oil Bottle, Accessories and Storage Bag to keep equipment clean and dust free.Checking the spillage meter will help to ensure the proper level of oil.
