But the truth is that the market is dominated by four big names, with a couple of notable “others”. There are lots of DJ software platforms to choose from, which can make it a confusing game. And if that sounds like a marriage, it’s because it kind of is. Your gear can change throughout your DJ career, but your software is hopefully for life. That’s why we recommend you choose your software first of all. So it stands to reason that your choice of DJ software is not only important – it’s crucial. (It’s worth pointing out here that DJ gear also contains the circuitry to let your headphones and speakers work how they should – but that’s not going to concern us today, and anyway, it’s still the software that tells that circuitry what to do in most cases.) Controllers tend to be black and look cooler than computer keyboards, too, which helps. Think of DJ hardware as just like a “computer keyboard for DJing”, but as well as having lots of keys (ie buttons), a DJ controller also has sliders, knobs, flashing lights and things that spin. In laptop set-ups, the hardware is just a dumb box or set of dumb boxes. If you want to control your lights, link up with Ableton Live for DJ/production hybrid DJing, or any of a myriad other things too, software is what lets you do it. It lets you work with your music library, and contains your “decks” and often your “mixer” too, including all those snazzy effects and features such as video and live remixing. Whatever hardware you then add, the software is the “beating heart” of your DJ set-up. Many pro DJs don’t even use a laptop and DJ software to play… but if you want to have the most fun DJing, we thoroughly recommend that you do!īut if you want to do all the cool things software lets you do, things that DJing “the old way” like this doesn’t allow you to do, then you need to DJ using a laptop – and of course that laptop needs DJ software on it. Even some “new” pro DJs (many of whom can be more accurately described as “producer/DJs” – hit song producers who have to go out and DJ to earn money) are doing it the “old” way like this. Indeed, many still use CDs (I know, I know). They play from USB drives on equipment designed to let them do that without a laptop in sight. And if you DJ from USB sticks, you also don’t need DJ software – although again, software to help you prepare your music can make your life easier. If you DJ using DJ CD decks playing from CDs, you don’t need DJ software (although if you buy your music online, you will probably want music library software, and definitely need software to help you burn the CDs you will be DJing with). If you DJ on old-fashioned turntables with vinyl, you don’t need DJ software. Watch this replay of our Facebook Live where we talked more about the material covered by this article… By the end of it you should be clear what is right for you – and if not, at least know what to do next to get closer to that decision. While there’s clearly no one answer that’s right for everyone, in this article we’ll look at the big players and give you some firm ideas. Probably more than any other question, this is the one we get asked over and over by beginners. This screenshot software allows you to freely capture your Steam game playing with entire screen or custom region based on your need. It has the capability to capture anything displayed on your computer with high image quality. Here we introduce you with a free Steam screenshot tool, Screen Recorder. If you’re not able to access them via Steam, you can find where they’re saved on your computer’s file system. You’ll then be able to see a folder of all your savoured snaps. To find where they’re saved on your PC, select ‘Show on Disk’. To take a screenshot of your Steam gameplay, you can use some professional screenshot software. From this dropdown you can select the title you were playing and find the screenshots you took. Better Way to Take a Screenshot of Stream Gameplay You can find the Steam screenshot folder in the path of /.local/share/Steam in a Linux computer. Using Computer's File System Steam screenshots are automatically saved at a specific directory. Now click on Show on Disk and Steam Screenshot folder will open. For Mac user, the Steam default screenshot folder is Users/Mac Username/Library/Application Support/Steam. Just open up your Steam client and click on View > Screenshot on the upper-left corner of the screen. If you are using a Windows 10/8 PC, you can access the Steam screenshot folder in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam.įor Mac user, the Steam default screenshot folder is Users/Mac Username/Library/Application Support/Steam. If you are using a Windows 10/8 PC, you can access the Steam screenshot folder in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam. This opens up the Steam screenshots manager, from which you can upload your shots, or find them in Dolphin by highlighting one and clicking Show on Disk. The default screenshot folder is in Local disk C. Open the app, click View in the top-left, then select Screenshots. Click Documents in the left panel (usually under Quick access) Open the Black Desert folder (maybe be named BDO, Black Desert Online or something similar) Finally, go into the Screenshots folder, and your screenshots will be in there Other Folders If you have taken a screenshot with the F12 key, it has likely been taken via Steam. If you didn't change the Steam default screenshot folder, you can directly go to some path to find your screenshots. You should know that, these Steam screenshots will be stored in one same folder by default. Besides that, you can also find your Steam screenshots through computer's file system. With the first method, you can easily locate the Steam screenshot folder. How to Access Steam Default Screenshot Folder This operation will open up your system's file explorer in the directory where Steam screenshots are saved. The screenshot is instantly saved in Steams screenshot folder. If you want to access the Steam screenshot folder through your hard drive, here you can click the Show on Disk button. The player then has to rendezvous with the USS Impotence, and is only just saved from destruction by pirates by a well-timed volley of torpedoes from the Impotence. The player first has to steal a better fighter, the TMIG-226, from the heavily guarded FeX labs. Erecta Von Hamburger, the professor's daughter, also contacts the player, but she is mainly concerned with the rescue of her father. Xoxx, however, wants the cannon because it could, theoretically, destroy the entire universe with a single shot. The professor was developing a gigantic quantum cannon, which he intended to use for peaceful purposes. He explains that Xoxx, the evil dictator, has appeared again and has kidnapped a scientist, Professor Von Hamburger. Troubleman, who is based aboard the United Space Ship Impotence. Soon, the player is contacted by their old commanding officer from a previous war, Col. In Jets'n'Guns, the player starts out as a freelancer, contracted to drive out a gang of criminals from a sector of space. Each bomb that is dropped uses up a portion of a slowly replenishing 'bomb meter' the amount used by each bomb decreases with upgrades. Bombs are the only weapons that have a limit pertaining to how many can be fired at any given time. The rate of fire for missiles is determined by their upgrade level. With an improved cooling system, the ship will take longer to overheat, and will cool down faster. This makes upgrading the cooling system essential. If the needle passes the orange and then red zones of the gauge the ship overheats, and it will be unable to fire until the needle passes back behind the orange zone. Most weapons give off heat when fired, indicated by a heating gauge. When viewing the status of an individual weapon, meters are shown that indicate its power, heat generation and speed ratings. This may enhance power, projectile velocity, rate of fire, or the nature of the attack itself. Most weapons can be upgraded after they are bought. There is a large variety of weapons, ranging from flamethrowers to electro-balls to acid guns. Some weapons can only be used in the front or rear slots. The TMIG-226 has slots for one bombing system, one missile system, three front weapons, and one rear weapon. The fighter the player starts with only has slots for two front weapons and rather limited ship upgrades. There are also upgrades that allow players to customize up to five different weapon profiles, which can be switched mid-game, or allow players to change the angle of their weapons to adapt to changing strategic situations.Īs the game progresses, more weapons and items are made available. Other upgrades give players bounties for killing certain enemies, and bonuses for mass killings of enemy troops. There are several upgrades that boost the ship's defense and provide slow armor regeneration, such as shields and nanomachines. Another item is the Atarix, which gives players a chance to unlock crates found when they destroy transport ships during a mission. They can also give their ship a new paint job for free. Some of the most vital upgrades are for maneuverability, speed, health/armor and cooling. Between levels, players are given the option to buy upgrades for their ship.

Polaroid Desktop Digital clock is the ultimate desktop piece. For instance, in September 2022, professional autopilots and flight control systems development company UAV navigation introduced its new Visual Navigation System (VNS). Rising demand for lighter and most efficient aircraft creates high demand for aircraft flight control systems, which prompts manufacturers to introduce advanced technologies in the market. This could provide more control while also lowering weight and maintenance costs, allowing for lighter, stealthier, faster, and more efficient military and civil aircraft. New idea for aircraft control include traditional requirement for complicated and mechanical moving parts used to move flaps to control the aircraft while it is in flight. This necessitates a thorough understanding of aircraft stability and control parameters. An aircraft's flying and handling characteristics are reliant on and ascertained by its stability and control characteristics. Controls typically feel soft and sluggish at low airspeeds and aircraft responds slowly to control applications. These systems are specifically designed to provide an appropriate response to control inputs while maintaining a natural feel. Aircraft engine controls are also regarded as flight controls given that they alter speed. Rising demand for large fleets of military and commercial aircraft and lightweight flight control systems, advancement and adoption of IoT in aircraft systems, and increasing safety and awareness in aircraft are major factors driving revenue growth of the market.Īircraft flight control system consists of flight control surfaces, cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and operating mechanisms required to control an aircraft's direction in flight. The global aircraft flight control systems market size was USD 13.38 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. But since the jokes are funny, that’s okay. Everything just opens more opportunities for more jokes. Opening a door is never as simple as opening a door. Much like the first game, Chaos on Deponia is more about taking the scenic route. Rufus handles every incoming challenge with the confidence and enthusiasm of a steampunk version Inspector Clouseau-with much the same result. In fact, much of the plot is padded by Rufus doing some incredibly stupid and destructive thing to prolong the group’s efforts. Rufus’s toxic self-interest stalls the plan at every step. In order to stop the high council of Elysium’s order to annihilate the planet, she must return to the upper world to report that life on the surface still exists. Rufus has to swap each personality out of Goal’s body to learn more about her mission on Deponia. To someone that just wants to see the funny cartoon play in a bright world, it’s best to keep a spoiler-free walkthrough open in another window.Īs a result of Rufus’s stupidity, the personality of Goal (Rufus’s love interest from the upper world, Elysium) winds up split into three separate, interchangeable implants. For the truly gifted non-linear thinker, the puzzles pose a great challenge. In fact, the puzzles seem even more ludicrous than the last time around. Also like the first game, the puzzles are illogical, frustrating, and can only be accomplished when a very stringent procedure is followed. Like the first game, the jokes are funny, the setting is colorful and original, the music is exceptional, and the characters are absurd and charming. It’s a game that really shouldn’t be played until the first one is completed so consider the rest of this review a spoiler warning for Deponia. So, it would be in the player’s best interest to race through the first game before approaching the second. However, the game does reference characters and events from its predecessor, and the overall tone is better established in the first scenes on Deponia’s surface. It does give a brief summary of the previous game, so it’s possible to play and enjoy Chaos without having played Deponia. The game picks up immediately where the last one left off. And once again, it brings back all the excellent and problematic qualities of the first. Chaos on Deponia is the not all that suitable title of Deponia’s sequel. When I reviewed Deponia, I began my analysis of the game with a sort of warning that the modest numerical score at the bottom would probably not make sense given the largely positive things I had to say about the game. "It's a very difficult thing to study because it's hard to disguise from people what they are eating, and their expectations and prior beliefs can play a big role in whether they actually get headaches," Dr. It concluded we don't have enough randomized controlled trial data to know the exact relationship between diet and migraines but suggested patients pay attention to what foods may trigger headaches or migraine for them. Loder said.Ī 2020 review of 43 studies published in Headache assessed diet-related triggers of migraine. People who get migraines are often told to avoid certain foods, like aged cheese or cured meats made with preservatives, but there's not a lot of hard evidence behind these claims, Dr. Loder recommended taking caution with hot yoga classes if high temperatures are a known trigger for you. A small study published in June 2019 in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education found student participants who completed a six-week yoga and meditation program before finals experienced less stress and anxiety. If you suspect stress is either causing or worsening your headaches, yoga may be a nice option for you. But during the times you're headache-free, regular exercise is a good way to help you stay that way.Ī February 2021 review published in Current Pain and Headache Reports concluded that aerobic exercise-like biking, cross-training, and walking briskly-could help in migraine prevention treatment. This is a type of exertion headache, according to the National Headache Foundation. If you're physically active or live in a warm, humid environment, you'll need to increase your water intake to stay hydrated and stave off headaches.Ī vigorous workout while you're in the throes of a bad headache may not be a good idea, and in fact, an increased pulse may make the pressure or the pounding worse, Dr. Even moderate coffee consumption contributes to your daily fluid intake a study published in January 2014 in PLoS One challenged the long-standing theory that moderate caffeine consumption contributed to dehydration. You can reach your water requirement from sources other than plain water-like low-calorie liquids (tea and skim or low-fat milk, for example) as well as fruits and vegetables. That's a good start, but your water intake should also take into account your age, weight, and daily activity.Īccording to the National Academy of Medicine, men should consume 15-16 cups of water a day (about 13 cups of that should come from beverages), while women should aim for 11-12 cups (about 9 cups of that should come from beverages). You've probably heard, "drink eight cups of water a day" to stay hydrated. Green suggested.Ī study published in July 2021 in Current Pain and Headache Reports found that dehydration alone may cause headaches and worsen headaches related to an underlying condition. To make sure you're drinking enough fluids, try to consume them throughout the day, rather than just guzzling them down at meal times or during periods of heavy physical activity, Dr. Headache is one of the first signs of dehydration, the process of losing body water. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) says acupuncture is generally considered safe if performed by an "experienced, well-trained practitioner." The technique uses small long needles inserted into the skin to stimulate trigger points throughout the body, according to StatPearls.Ī review published in April 2016 in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews noted that acupuncture could be effective treatment for episodic or chronic tension-type headaches. You could also try acupuncture, though we need more research to confirm its headache-healing benefits. Loder said, adding that it may also be helpful to rub ice on this spot for a few minutes. "It's certainly a harmless thing to try, and at the very least it's a distraction from the pain," Dr. We need more data to understand if acupressure can relieve headache pain, but a study published in July 2017 in Medicine found that acupressure could at least relieve migraine nausea. Squeeze the indentation between the two digits with your opposite hand's thumb and index finger and massage in a circular motion for five minutes, then switch hands. Acupressure is designed to balance your flow of energy, or qi.įor headaches, you can try applying pressure to a point on the hand between the thumb and index finger. Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine massage where manual pressure is applied to points on the body called acupoints. But I was taught long ago that it is safer to have an admin and a non-admin account and run as non-admin for everyday use. I know that most people just have one account which is an admin account. I mentioned the matter as it was one possible reason why the procedure did not work for the poster. With this tool, all important basic settings. The installation of the current Raspberry OS (Debian 'Bullseye') can be done most easily with the Raspberry Pi Imager. This makes no difference to the functionality of the Squeezebox server. That does mean that in Terminal one can su into an admin account and then use sudo, but I don't know if that would work in this case. Installing Logitech Media Server on the Raspberry Pi 4B with 5 inch display. Installation using the GUI just requires knowledge of an admin user's name and password, while being allowed to sudo requires you actually be an admin user. Yes, of course, one can always install without being allowed to sudo. Sudo?I must admit that since I know that I can't use sudo I used another way of solving the problem. And would you even be allowed to install unless you are allowed to I've yet to find someone for whom they did not > But I think I mentioned elsewhere that the instructions say to run this ) at /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/OS/OSX.pm line 321.

You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX. Even better: Movian supports FLAC playback, which is great for me as much of my music is in that format.If 7.8 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "7.8" with the major version I chose the latter… and I could browse the music collection there and listen to it. The server startup appears to hang at a late stage and a log is generated on startup from both the Prefpane and the command line (see attached). I started up Movian, chose the “Local Network” option, and was presented with two server options, both from the Synology: the UPNP/ DLNA, and the LMS instance. Well, to spoil the suspense: yes, it can, because it seems that LMS also supports UPNP/ DLNA, at least to some degree. This morning, it hit me: DLNA also serves audio and photos as well as video, so could Movian somehow play networked music from the Synology? Movian is a very capable UPNP/ DLNA media player, which I had put on the Chromebit for playing video files from the DLNA server on the Synology box. The key Chrome OS app here is, ironically, one I had already installed for another purpose. Movian playing music from Logitech Media Server Even better: it supports Logitech Media Server, which meant I didn’t have to mess around with any other servers. I had a feeling that there must be some means of playing networked audio from the Synology box on a Chrome OS machine… and this morning I had a moment of inspiration, which turned out to work. Sadly, no Squeezebox player software has been ported to Chrome OS, and although there are Squeezebox player apps for Android (such as SqueeezePlayer), at time of writing the Chromebit hasn’t received Android app support, although apparently it is on the way for 2017. We have a Synology NAS server running Logitech Media Server, which serves audio to the Squeezebox Duet connected to the hi-fi in our lounge, and also to any software players on our home network (such as SqueezePlay on our Mac, and iPeng on my iPhone). That’s not to say there are no gaps, of course, and one item I really missed was a Logitech Squeezebox player/controller app. Now that many “Chromedevices” are getting support for Android apps, the choice of software available to owners has never been wider. Far from being simply “a Web browser on a laptop”, as too many reviews of Chromebooks mistakenly dismiss them as (this isn’t 2013, people!), the Chrome OS platform allows users to undertake a pretty wide range of computing tasks (increasingly, not requiring an active network/Internet connection). Since I acquired my first Chrome OS computer two months ago-an Asus Chromebit CS10-I have been pleasantly surprised by how few “holes” I have found in what I can actually do with the device. |
