(This is something I posted before for someone with the same question, and I have revised due to recent circumstances): (And does it come with all of the standard Exia parts, so you can go back and forth between configurations, or is it different enough so that it can only be assembled in Avalanche mode?) Overall, my point is that the Arios is essentially everything the Kyrios was (the GN Archer making up for the Tail Units) but in a tighter package making it that much easier for a pilot to utilize or for an ace (Hallelujah) to excel in.ĭoes anyone here have the 1/100 Avalanche Exia - and if so, would you recommend the kit? Likewise, the Arios retains more mid/long-range weapons compared to the Kyrios such as the GN Submachine Guns in the wrists, GN Twin Beam Rifles on hand, the GN Vulcan's in the nose, etc.The Kyrios on the other hand had only its GN Submachine Gun using standard equipment or it's GN 3-Tube Missile Launcher's which then sacrificed the SMG while for true long-range combat, the unit had to be equipped with the clunky Tail Unit or Tail Booster which hindered transformation and impeded the battle capacity of the unit. With such an arrangement, the pilot then can more easily strike the foe as Allelujah can use the flight mode's superior speed and agility to strike. Both units' signature weapon is the GN Shield/Claw, the Kyrios requiring the pilot to maneuver close to the enemy to strike whilst in mobile suit mode however in the Arios the GN Shield/Claw is both particle-based and is used in the unit's flight mode (the claw I mean). I'm not saying its not enough im just asking because the Arios Gundam and Kryios Gundam kits look the same cept for little tid bits here and there but im all for waiitng to see the Arios/Gn Archer intercourseĪside from capabilities not yet revealed by the Arios via the GN Archer, it should be likewise noted that the structuring of the Arios is that so that it becomes easier to pilot, thereby addressing Allelujah's "lack of practice" and contrary to the Kyrios itself. Oh yea sure throw in that info about the others. Ok my biggest thing I was trying to point out was Airo Kyrios doesnt have anything new to distinguish itself from the old version. The ability to double team and some unknown system we have yet to fully witness. Seravee also = more guns with different configurations, 2 extra pairs of arms each with beamswords. Nataku = 1 extra grappling claw and tail beam. Sandrock = lol, thrusters to move in space. Wing -> Wing ZERO = 1 extra Buster rifle, ZERO system What else do you expect, are they not enough? Wing Gundam? The ability to double team and some unknown system we have yet to fully witness.Ġ0 = a pair of mega beamsword, giant beam, teleportation, connects minds of people around its GN field and who knows whatever new godly abilitiesĬherudim = gets enhanced sniping capabilities, shield bit systemĪrios = will be the next in line for display of capabilities, we haven't even seen its combination with GN Archer. Kyrios = Airos bigger claw? wthSeravee also = more guns with different configurations, 2 extra pairs of arms each with beamswords. Virtue = Seravee gets mini gundam and different gunsĭynames = Cheridum differen sniping and sniper rifile TextMate brings Apple's approach to operating systems into the world of text editors.Whats the difference between Airos and Kyrios? I mean I see different look but what else? Something im missing? Build and debug modern web and cloud applications, by Microsoft We can’t wait to see what you build with it. At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file.

The best thing about this solution is that it supports almost all the leading video and audio formats, including mp3, mp4, Ogg, and lots of others. Has anyone faced the same problem of streaming from Windows PC to AirPlay device? If so how did you solve it? Any feedback on the AirParrot2 and 5KPlayer? Are there any other alternatives that I should explore? Thanks. It comes as an alternative to the PS3 Media Server and offers almost all the core services and features to make it one of the best web-based media streamers. It's a $12.99 license for 1 PC, a bit pricey, but I'm willing to pay that if there are no better alternatives. AirParrot2 looks to be more in line with what I need, very simple screen/audio casting app that can stream to AirPlay/ChromeCast. All of that rings major alarm bells in my head. AirParrot 2 gives you the option to open a video or audio file on another compatible device while doing something completely different on the sending device. It's more than I need, I do not want another player on my system, I do not want AirPlay receiver installed on my tablet, and there is a bit of negative feedback on the net saying it makes itself default player for everything and that you need a special app to uninstall it. The 5K player is free, but it looks to be an entire media player application that happens to support AirPlay sender/receiver functionality. So far I've done some googling and have been able to come with 2 solutions: AirParrot 2 from Squirrels and some 5K Player. Create the ultimate entertainment solution and add unlimited content to any TV. Gain more workspace without buying a new monitor or plugging in wires Stream Stream media files in 5.1 surround sound without quality loss. I'm firmly in the windows/android camp, so I'm looking for a windows program that will let me stream to my Marantz receiver from my Windows 2in1 tablet. AirParrot turns any supported receiver into an extended desktop. But it turned out to be very useful while hosting parties as people would stream their favorite pandora/spotify stations to our receiver right from their phones/laptops. The Marantz SR6007 supports AirPlay which initially I thought would be a gimmick. The headers above are direct links to the apps.A little while ago I got a used/new to me Marantz SR6007 receiver because my old Harman Kardon AVR147 receiver started flaking out.

Thus, using Designrr, you can easily and quickly repurpose your content and boost your traffic and leads by reaching new audiences.Īnd believe me all these are done right inside the Designrr tool without requiring you to know any designing or technical skills. It's a powerful tool to convert your existing blog posts, podcasts, videos, and PDFs into eBooks, show notes, dynamic flipbooks, transcripts, PDFs, and web pages. That’s what I expect from applications on my Mac: they should just work.Designrr is one of the most popular eBook creator software, with over 100000+ users worldwide. It’s not a big deal, but I would like an even cleaner UI, especially when the stock app already has it.Īlso, the global keyboard shortcut to make an app go full-screen doesn’t seem to work with Kitabu, which is another big problem, because… well, it really should. Let me expand upon the minor UI issue that I would rather not have faced: When I’m reading a book, and I go into full-screen mode, I expect all the UI junk to disappear (the way iBooks handles full-screen UI) on Kitabu, however, that top bar doesn’t ever go away. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it (IT support cliché). Rest assured, said bug does not affect the overall usability of the app, but it’s difficult to un-see once you have experienced it, because it’s always there. It just misses out in a minor UI choice, and a rather irritating bug. Kitabu hits really close to the iBooks mark that I expect from eBook readers on Mac. Now that’s the kind of UI I would like to see in an app that is meant to be used in 2016. What in the world are those? Why would I want to use an app that looks straight out of an era I have no interest in returning to? In a separate window with ugly looking icons on the sidebar. The thing that bugs me even more, if possible (and I didn’t think anything could) was the way Calibre opens eBooks. Sure, I can edit metadata for the eBooks I import into the app, but what use is that to me? I don’t need to change the cover for Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, nor do I want to change the author’s name. I would still have agreed to use it as my go-to eBook reader on the Mac, but it offers nothing useful to me. Oh, the UI! I have no idea why Calibre UI has no calibre (pun intended) at all. As much as I love iBooks, I really wish they had implemented an auto-scroll function, and I was wondering if Calibre would offer that feature. The first thing I noticed as I installed – and then launched – Calibre, was the big splash image on my screen that made me feel like I was back to the apps of the 2010 era. But hey, if Calibre offers something great, I’m not one to whine about a splash image that vanishes in a second or two. I have read a lot about Calibre, so I decided to give it a try. iBooks comes pre-installed on the Macbooks, so chances are, you already have it and you just use it. I dare you to highlight text on your Harry Potter paperback, purists. It allows text highlighting, underlining, adding notes and even sharing selected text. The fonts are nice and large, spacing is done very well, and it has four different themes you can choose from, depending on your mood or the time of the day. That’s the entire full screen view of iBooks. It utilities the entire screen of your Mac to the best possible extent. Your entire screen is dedicated to the eBook you are reading, and nothing comes in the way. However, go into the full-screen view by pressing “ Command + Option + F” and you will see just why this app is one of the most beautiful eBook readers available on the Mac. It has a clean UI, even in windowed mode. IBooks is Apple’s stock eBook reader app, and it is exactly what an eBook reader for a laptop should be. We explore, in this article, some free eBook readers that are available for the Mac. We have mobile phones, laptops and even dedicated eBook readers these days and for each of these, there has been an obvious rise in the number of applications that seem to offer eBook reading capabilities. This enables less write amplification and, as it doesn’t use up the precious P/E cycles, the SSD’s lifespan will be much longer. The TRIM command allows the operating system to inform the SSD about regions where the data marked for deletion are stored, and after trimming the SSD won’t preserve the contents of the block when it writes new data to a page. TRIM can be considered a more efficient way of handling “garbage” and was introduced shortly after SSDs became available. The same data (and metadata) ends up being written over and over again in our daily use of computers generating a phenomenon called write amplification, which uses up the limited P/E cycles. When data changes, it must be written again. Unlike traditional hard drives, data on SSDs can’t be directly overwritten. Each block contains a specified number of pages (from 32 to 256), which contain a specified amount of data (2 to 8KB). What represents a challenge is that with an SSD you can write on a page any time, but you can erase only one block at a time. SSDs contain memory cells organized into pages and blocks. Manufacturers address this issue with so-called wear leveling, which prevents SSD memory cells (the pages) from wearing out. Writing to an SSD is like writing on a piece of paper with a pencil: if you erase the same space too many times, it can wear out. There is one thing to note, though, and that is that there are a limited number of P/E cycles an SSD can support. Writing to an SSD is totally different than writing to a traditional hard drive: the SSD first clears existing information from the flash memory cells and programs new data into them hence, the writing process is often referred as program/erase cycles or P/E cycles. There is one tiny command line you must type into Terminal to enable a feature meant to expand the lifespan of the newly installed drive this feature is called TRIM. However, you shouldn’t stop at installing a new SSD. You’ll notice the huge performance improvement right from the first time you boot up and immediately praise yourself for making this investment. The best way to expand your Mac’s lifespan and obtain a significant speed boost is by replacing the hard drive with a solid state drive (SSD). I’m just waiting for the day to become night.

If the price rises above $190, your broker will stop filling the order.Įxecution is simply the completion of a buy or sell order for a security. Your stop-limit order converts to limit order and your broker fills the order as long as you can purchase AMC for $190 a share or less. When you buy AMC, you might set a limit price of $190 and a stop price of $185. When you place a stop-limit order, you specify both an upper limit price and a lower stop price. Stop-Limit Order: A stop-limit order combines a limit order and a stop-loss order. This order can limit your loss on a security position. For example, setting a stop-loss order at 10% below the price at which you bought AMC stock will limit your loss to 10%. Stop-Loss Order: A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a stock once the stock reaches a certain price. Market orders give you less control over what you pay per share of AMC. Your broker will fill the order as soon as it’s possible to do so. When you place a market order, you won’t specify a price that you’d like your order to execute. Market Order: A market order tells your broker that you want to buy the next available shares of AMC, no matter how the market moves. Limit orders allow you to better control the prices you trade. For buy limit orders, the order will execute only at the limit price or lower. For sell limit orders, the order will be executed only at the limit price or higher. Limit Order: A limit order is a type of order to purchase or sell a security at a specified price or better. For example, if the lowest ask price for a share of AMC stock is $5 and the highest bid price is $4.75, then the spread for AMC stock is $0.25. Spread: The spread is the difference between the lowest ask price and the highest bid price. This is also referred to as the offer price. Here’s our quick rundown of the most common orders you’ll encounter:īid: The bid price represents the maximum amount of money that a buyer is willing to pay for a share of AMC stock.Īsk: The ask is the price a seller is willing to accept for a security. Your broker will ask you which type of order you want to place. If you’re new to investing, you want to know several stock order types to understand before you purchase AMC stock. Investing in a single stock opens you up to less diversification than if you were to, say, invest in a mutual fund or ETF. The number of shares you buy depends on your risk tolerance as well. For example, let’s say you have $2,000 to invest and AMC’s current stock price is $5 (so you’re comfortably under the stocks under $10 category). The number of shares you should buy depends on the price of AMC. What type of customer service do you expect? Many platforms can deliver 24/7 live customer support via chat or email.

There’s a “big picture” to World War 3 that involves the West and East going up against each other for control of different parts of the War Map. It’s bizarre, but maybe it was intentional. That being said, the dimensions appear to be a little off: the buildings seem disproportionately gigantic, leaving you feeling like a bit of a pipsqueak amongst it all. I learned this the hard way when I was constantly trying my classic routine of sneaking around the back of the enemy’s defenses and constantly coming up against more players than I could handle.Īs for the maps, they’re the comforting grey that we’ve come to accept from military shooters over the years, though there are loads of nice regional quirks based on which part of the world you’re fighting in. The TTK is quick, though your ability to heal often (depending on your own loadout and those of your teammates) means that it feels fair. World War 3 heavily promotes squadding up over going for the Shroud plays because it’s so easy to be overwhelmed otherwise. No matter how precise your aim is, it’s all pointless if you don’t know how to work with your team. I’m still experimenting with the weapons in World War 3, but it feels as if the majority of the assault rifles have serious recoil with sniping being more on the arcade-y side than normal for military shooters - I didn’t come across much bullet drop at all and was able to get kills routinely with one without even really playing like a sniper. The gunplay itself feels tight, though there isn’t a particularly great amount of feedback for a hit or a confirmed kill. Explosives to deal with them are easy to come across so there’s nowhere near as many chokepoint mass graves as seen in its peers. World War 3 also comes with tanks, though these seem to be tied mostly to Battle Points rewards so matches don’t descend into chaos. You’re able to use your Battle Points, which you receive from completing objectives and getting kills, to use special tools, such as an overhead UAV that highlight enemies and a drone that can explode and cheese yourself a kill. Do you ask your squad to stretch themselves and contend for a new zone or do you stick with what you have and repel attacks? It’s simple on paper, but tactical and tense in practice. The more zones your team holds, the more points you gain until one team reaches the limit. After some patches and patience, World War 3 has now turned into an inviting and often thrilling time, though it still has some faults.Īnyone familiar with Battlefield’s Conquest will feel immediately drawn to Warzone, which sees up to 64 players duking it out to retain control of particular zones on a map. A very bumpy launch meant that I couldn’t play it until two days later hardly what you would call ideal when a game can thrive or die in such a short space of time, people’s attention spans being what they are. It must be mentioned that World War 3 initially took the “access” out of early access. But what else is out there when everything is going down the battle royale route? Enter World War 3: a new and promising FPS that takes a debt of inspiration from Battlefield and could even potentially escape its shadow down the line. With it fast approaching its fifth birthday, however, every possible drop of fun has been squeezed out of Battlefield 4. With DICE’s franchise and Call of Duty flip flopping between time periods and also seemingly not being interested in the here and now, there’s still a sizeable chunk of people playing the fourth Battlefield game, myself included. We arguably haven’t had an impressive, large-scale shooter set in modern times since Battlefield 4 came out. I don’t know who decided we’d all had enough of military FPS games, but I’d like a stern word with them. |
