![]() No overwrought commentary on modern society. It's just fun, isn't it? It's not groundbreaking, Toem, but it's somehow nostalgic and modern at the same time, a silly world that you can just enjoy, guilt-free. Guess who had a new pet the next time I saw them? I also inspired a fashion designer with my outfit, and then everyone in the city was wearing a version of my paper pirate hat. I told a yeti about the fluffy dogs wandering around. It's worth it, too, because you might see some changes. You can also revisit each location to mop up unfinished tasks, even after the two-ish hours it takes you reach the top of the mountain. Other tasks need you to complete steps on several levels, like tracking down different monsters or finding the shady trenchcoat-wearing character who hides everywhere. There are some things you can get a photo of that are special, like unique animals hiding around, or citizens you've made exquisitely happy by helping them. The new melody for a singer on the beach had to be filtered through two other people first, for example, but then it called forth the King Fish I needed a photo of for someone else. Some puzzles have several steps, or loop in to solve something else. There's a camera club, of sorts, who give you requests for photos of certain things, some of which are specific and easy (one guy asked me for a photo of a tree, in the forest) while others will require more lateral thinking, like the one who wanted a photo of something 'rad'. This is lucky, because you will face a varied list of requests. The camera is omni-purpose in Toem's world. You can direct a crane with your viewfinder. You get a horn to scare pests like seagulls. Not only do you get to keep your photos in a nice album, but later on you get a tripod, so you can take photos of yourself in one of those face-in-hole photo boards and pretend to be a farmer. At any time you can switch to your camera to take a picture, with a simple zoom and focus slider. NPCs are flat and will always turn to face you, but buildings are proper 3D and trees are somewhere in between. And it's 3D in the way that a paper model is 3D. You can explore different streets in the city, for example, and you can zoom the camera right out and spin around almost 360 degrees to look at everything. This is partly thanks to the art's strong, clean lines, but also the character designs themselves, which range from cute (balloon child that has blown away from his balloon parents small fluffy dog creatures skiing bird) to wacky (punk lion feeding parrot instead of pigeons security guard bear assessing how cool you are ghost demanding sandwich). The whole world of Toem is in black and white, but remains expressive throughout. And there are always more puzzles than stamps you need, so you're unlikely to get stuck. Helping someone out gets you a stamp on your card, and enough stamps means you can go to the next area. You travel between them via a bus, and the currency is Being A Good Citizen. This journey takes you through a tranquil camping forest, a seaside town, a busy city, and a snowy resort, each of which is full of locals with problems. It's a sort of unofficial rite of passage. You task is to travel from your little home, where you live with your nan, to the highest peak of the highest mountain to take a picture of the light phenomenon that occurs there. I was here, I did this thing, it was good. This is photography as a joyful insta-record of your life. This isn't really photography for the camera nerds interested in lenses or different exposures. Wonky-focused snaps of a flower, or a ladybird, or a nice building (poorly framed because you can't get all of it in shot). Not because you are able to make disasterous or whimisical fashion choices - you very much are, mostly in the hat department - but because you just take photos of everything, for the fun of it, to remember this thing you saw. ![]() The little black-and-white puzzle adventure game Toem, in which all problems are solved with a camera, reminds me of that. These are the photos that come up on your Facebook Memories, reminding you that for a brief period during your final year of school you started wearing 50s-ish neck scarves, for some reason. ![]() Remember that brief period in the 00s where everyone had a mobile phone, but none of them could take decent photos, so at least one girl per friendship group also had to have a small digital camera? Laboriously uploading and tagging. Exploring and taking photos to solve puzzles in Toem is somehow nostalgic and modern all at the same time, and it's sweet, wholesome fun.

In June, privately held Miniclip made its first appearance at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. Miniclip also recently did a national kids meal promotion with Del Taco and a promotion with Universal on the movie The Lorax. Miniclip is looking at the deal with Hecht as part of a larger strategy to leverage its online brands with consumers in new ways, including at retail where they own licensing rights for toys, stuffed animals and other variations. The strength of this brand globally is an enormous advantage.” “More and more of the audience for the web, for TV and features is the global audience. “One of the reason I was so bullish and felt it was a coup to be involved with this is the global reach,” Hecht added. He also sees an advantage in that the properties will have instant global recognition with much of the target audience. ![]() So it is not just the power of the IP but also the power of the marketing vehicle as well.” When Miniclip gets behind the content we’re delivering and promotes it and markets it, then our partners are getting an enormous promotional vehicle. “The power of the brands is not only in the characters,” he said, “but also that our partner is the worlds biggest online game site. Hecht sees the international aspect as part of the attraction. the highest number of visitors come from the U.K., Germany, India and Australia. provides Miniclip’s largest audience – about 27 percent of its traffic. The Miniclip audience, according to Bergstresser, is about 55 percent male and skews from young teens to young adults for the most part. He has a gravity suit that allows him to float in space and turn upside down if he wants. Gravity Guy is a character chased by space-age cyber bullies. “It is going to be a launch title for Windows 8 as well.” ![]() “It has been in the top five on iTunes for games in all the major markets around the world and done millions of downloads,” Bergstresser said. They continue to create about a dozen new characters for their games annually. The other 70 percent involves various partners. Bergstresser said the company owns about 30 percent of its content outright or has global rights. Not all of Mini’s clips content is available to Hecht, as is the case with Penguin Club. “Finally we decided as a company, we really do need to look at how we can broaden the appeal of our IP, and a big area of that is licensing,” Bergstresser said. Then with the success of Angry Birds and other games that found life online, they saw the light. After he joined Miniclip, Hecht approached him about a deal, but Bergstresser kept saying, “We’re not sure it’s time.” Hecht knew Bergstresser because they had collaborated on a Princess Bride online game. Now he will try to do the same for Miniclip characters like Sketch Star, Extreme Skater, Minipets and Canyon Defense. Hecht is credited with helping develop and launch SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and other franchises while at Nickelodeon. Albie has such an incredible track record.” ![]() “Albie is really the first big jump into that broader IP licensing. What has taken so long for Miniclip to exploit brand extensions to its popular characters it does own? “I don’t think we had the depth of expertise to tackle the licensing arena before,” said Chris Bergstresser, who is a vp at based in Neuchatel, Switzerland. It continues to run as a game on Miniclip but is not one of the properties available to Worldwide Biggies to develop. Miniclip, based in Switzerland, with offices and facilities all over the world, is probably most famous for distributing and bringing the world the Club Penguin, a multiplayer online game that Disney acquired in 2007 for more than $350 million from its creator New Horizon Interactive. “It has authenticity that web audiences look at, and I think we’re going to be able to develop these properties in a lot of different mediums, everything from feature films to live-action game shows to animated web series.” “The Miniclip content is going to be very successful in other places,” Hecht said. Not only had it been a huge success in the episode featuring Krasinski, but it also went on to become a regular staple on ‘The Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’. Its origins are believed to go back to Jimmy Fallon’s ‘The Late Night Show’, the brainchild of Stephen Merchant, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski when they chanced upon the idea of a celebrity lip sync competition. Celebrity contestants are invited to go toe-to-toe on a lip sync battle, a one of a kind ‘singing but not really’ never seen on TV before. ‘Lip Sync Battle’ has quite a simple premise. We hope these two get to host some cool celebrities who are the reason why the show is such a massive success. Doubtless, the same hosts will be returning as the entertaining hosts of the show. The duo has been with the show ever since its first iteration on Spike in 2015. Much of the show’s success goes to the excellent hosting done by rapper-actor LL Cool J (James Todd Smith) and supermodel Chrissy Teigen. Here’s everything we know about its next season. Lip Sync Battle has had five successful seasons so far. Nonetheless, the strong fan following ‘Lip Sync Battle’ has accumulated, speaks for itself. Vulturenoted the success of the show and jotted it down to the show’s creators “opted not to impose artificial demographic targets, they also went out of their way not to futz up the very simple premise that worked so well on Fallon’s late-night shows.” The Hollywood Reporterwas a bit more reserved in its praise saying that the show was a success, but maybe it was a better fit as an interlude on Jimmy Fallon’s ‘The Tonight Show’. ![]() It also received the accolade of a primetime Emmy award in 2016. The overwhelmingly positive critical reception has been thoroughly consistent over the years throughout the seasons of the show. It has also given rise to a spin-off centered around kids on Nickelodeon, titled ‘Lip Sync Battle Shorties’. The show comes from the minds of John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant and was initially meant to be a recurring segment on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ before its popularity prompted in the branching off, and being conceptualized as an independent series. ![]() John Krasinski, Jimmy Fallon, David Larzelere, Stephen Merchant, Casey Patterson, Jay Peterson, and Rick Schwartz are on board as executive producers. The series is backed by Eight Million Plus Productions, Matador Content, Sunday Night, Four Eyes Entertainment, and Casey Patterson Entertainment, and has famous American hip hop artist LL Cool J as the producer. All fuel injectors will have deposits given enough mileage. Major engine repairs, engine replacement, or lengthy storage.The codes are read and the fuel injector is tested directly, as needed. Some fuel injection failures, for example, a faulty solenoid, may cause a trouble code to be set in the PCM and that will cause the check engine light to illuminate. If an externally-leaking injector is suspected, do not start your car due to the fire hazard. There should be no external leak from a fuel injector. If you notice any fuel odor around your car, the possibility of a leaking fuel injector should be considered. Fuel injectors should not leak fuel into the intake manifold when the car is off.

The MS20 plugin may be most appropriate for this. The result is not really very close but you can see where they were going with it. That series is made to celebrate and somewhat emulate the sound character of the original MS20. That said, the microKorg is a smaller version of the MS2000.

I route all my internal Pro Tools audio through a final master aux anyway so can just put on a small Time Adjuster delay plug-in to cope with this latency I did a video for some students a while back which should show how to do it. Getting the audio back into Pro Tools if needed can be done by Rewiring the Mac sounds to Pro Tools or use Soundflower which is my preferred option - the latency here should be measured the first time you use it and expect it whenever its used.Note if you dont change the prog change within the track but just in the menu it will revert to the prog change on next play It may be intimidating but its a one off and will work every time you use that IAC bus in this way. Now you can easily find the MIDI instruments by opening prog change on all tracks and you can change them yourself within the track. Hit Change and select your new midinam file and all the names will appear if the syntax is correct. Now in Pro Tools on one IAC MIDI track hit the patch change button and you will see nothing but numbers. Then save with a new name in the same place so if it fails first time youve still got the original. Its usually Apple something for manufacturer and IAC bus for model - but make sure the syntax is exactly the same. Open this in a text editor and open the IAC window in audiomidisetups now all you have to do is change the text file to match Manufacturer and Model from the IAC window. In Library/Audio/MidiPatchNames/Digidesign(orAvidnow)/GeneralMidi folder there should be a GeneralMidi.midinam file. To get the instrument names shown in Pro Tools - they show in the MIDI track program change menu as 1-127 so at this point it is very easy to create a midiname file for use with IAC.Though you have no midi names SimpleSynth just sees the GM MIDI program messages and you should hear all the MIDI on the right instruments from the Mac sound out - not within Pro Tools at this point, but if all you want to do is add decent sounds you can then start creating your PT instruments and bus the MIDI tracks to them ![]()

![]() I really need these to work, and I always suspected the firmware, but TT replaced the RGB board, and it started having issues after a month or so. I used to play with C 30 years ago, and I love Python, and software does not cost anything but time, which I have in abundance. Either way, new software and/or hardware, I would VERY much like to get these working.I have less than zero money, but these were great keyboards whenI bought them, and they have all the switches, so if I had to, I would replace the controllers with something that has reasonable support. I have no clue about firmware or hardware hacking in general, but I have nothing but time on my hands and a vested interest in getting these things to stop ddooubliiing or mmoooree. (What to do / how to build)Įvan, I am a disabled software engineer with two of these keyboards, one with blue LEDs and one with RGB. I have a spare one of these kicking around and might be willing to put a little time into bringing it up if there are directions somewhere handy. It looks like ChibiOS-Contrib now has support for the LPC11U35F, it appears: There is very clearly labeled pads on the board that correspond with a serial port, I may get a crap keyboard to use in the interim and solder some header pins onto my board and see if I can send any commands to the board with putty. Perfect for a gamer to use at home or LAN where space is more limited. So if anyone wants to look at the USB packet capture above, you will see the command to send to the device to get it into bootloader mode, and then someone with some knowledge of ASM would be able to tell what the firmware is doing. The POSEIDON ZX Illuminated Brown Switch Edition - is a budget friendly mechanical keyboard in the tenkeyless form factor.

Thermaltake eSports Poseidon Z Mechanical RGB Illuminated Gaming Keyboard, Tt Brown Switches, Anti-Ghosting, USB, Black SCANPROTECT Protect against. The POSEIDON Z RGB Gaming Keyboard -POSEIDON Z RGB is a simple yet astonishing spectrum keyboard it offers extreme customization options for users to play with. I can tell from the packet capture that a command is sent to the keyboard, the keyboard reboots into a "DFU" like mode and a new device is enumerated (ostensibly the firmware flash device). What's nice about the underside is that the flip feet have rubber padding on them that complement the other rubber pads to help keep the keyboard from sliding all over the desk.I have made 0 progress on this, I just don't have the knowledge to make any headway. The underside of the keyboard is pretty straight forward with a couple channels for the cord to pass through along with flip feet to stand the keyboard up if one so desires. With the keyboard having a 32 bit MCU inside of it, this keyboard can function with just the basic windows drivers while still being able to use its advanced features. The box itself is not much larger than the keyboard itself. ![]() This keyboard was wrapped in bubble wrap to ensure protection which differs from most competitors in which they mainly use thin plastic molds.Īside from the keyboard however there is basically nothing else inside the box except for the warranty policy and the quick install guide. The Tt eSPORTS Poseidon Z RGB Gaming Keyboard comes in typical retail packaging from Tt eSPORTS. Upon opening there is one main difference that you don't see too often. Packaging is pretty straight forward for this product, and highlights some of the main features which I will go over a bit later. This keyboard is nice and compact for either gaming in tight spaces or for easy packing for events such as LANs. Today I will be checking out Thermaltake's eSPORTS Poseidon Z RGB (brown switches). The fast responses, more accurate key presses, better macro configurations and the ability to backlight the keyboard and keys with tons of color combinations has really brought keyboards to another level.

![]() The prolific botnet then expanded its capabilities to credential harvesting, crypto mining, and gaining a foothold into the victims’ systems to deploy ransomware. ![]() TrickBot initially emerged in 2016 as a banking Trojan designed to steal user credentials and personally identifiable information (PII). For several years, the threat intelligence community has suspected that both Ryuk and Conti ransomware were operated by a single group identified as Wizard Spider by CrowdStrike based on the similarities in code and other factors.Īfter Ryuk’s suspected rebrand to Conti in approximately May of 2020, the ransomware continued becoming even more destructive, eventually merging with the group running the TrickBot botnet at the end of 2021 according to threat intelligence firm AdvIntel. Ryuk ransomware, which was active from mid-to-late 2018, was responsible for a high number of ransomware attacks resulting in millions of USD in losses. The leak was sparked by Conti’s official statement on February 25, 2022, announcing full support to the Russian State and threatening the world with offensive operations if any Russian infrastructure is attacked as a possible response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. ![]() Authentication of leaks as having come from Conti infrastructure was confirmed by the threat intelligence community including TheRecord. On February 27, 2022, an individual with apparent inside access to Conti’s infrastructure leaked nearly 160,000 messages from internal chats and other data shedding light on more than a year of Conti’s operations, uncovering the syndicate’s ecosystem as well as hundreds of crypto addresses used to extort victims and fund the group's activities.Such a tactic of rebranding is widely known to be used by ransomware syndicates to cover their tracks as described by BleepingComputer. Not only do on-chain investigations indicate funds for salary paid by a Conti core member were derived from a known Ryuk ransomware address, similarities in code and other factors suggest that Conti is a rebranding of the Ryuk ransomware.Both Conti and Ryuk also appear to be part of the Wizard Spider cybercriminal group, and are responsible for the TrickBot botnet. An analysis of leaked private messages of Conti group members, open-source reporting, and on-chain investigations of salary-related addresses by TRM investigators indicates ties between two ransomware groups, Conti and Ryuk. ![]() Then, using the “Fly Out” animation, set the bar shape to disappear from the slide slowly.
