The issue is that there's less RAM in it so the more you add, the more problems you have. :)ĮDIT: But people have said the 5th generation Video iPod also does not have an LBA28 limitation and can go up to 2TB. :) I highly recommend stopping sync every 6 hours or so to give you a good checkpoint because one hiccup and it won't commit the sync for what you just put on it. it took me just about 2 days to do it, but you can do it. And I have 1.7TB on my 2.0.4 model with a 512GB and 3 400GB cards. Not sure if the HFS format of Apple lets you go higher but since we're limited to 512GB cards at the moment (in terms of feasibility and price), you can't really break 2TB just yet. For Windows, the limit would then be 2TB. The data partition starts after that, i.e. With 512 bytes per sector, we need a grand total of 2097152 / 512 4096 sectors for the firmware partition (size4096). ![]() Get a mainboard of 2.0.4 or 2.0.5 and you definitely can go beyond 128GB. The iPod expects its MBR to start at sector 63, our first partition is going to start there (start63). The 1.x models of the iPod Classic have an LBA28 limit of 128GB which you can't really get around (except with the thick 160GB drives from that era). And be especially aware of the oft-used phrase, "It'll be so much better in the next version.No, that's partially right. ![]() So in general, the old rules apply- caveat emptor. Many of the most popular products are locked out of direct support for modeling, printing, multi-language support and display. You will be surprised at the results of direct questions about these areas. Also, define what you're looking for in terms of the kinds of production you'll need, the kinds of libraries they'll provide, expansion of libraries going forward, cost initial and ongoing, the output they provide (large format media printers, etc). Get input from people that use them, too. While support is nice, a bad CAD package cannot be made to smell any sweeter by support.Īlmost all the suppliers have tryout versions.

CADintosh is a High Performance 2D CAD program for Technical Draftsmen and Designers. ![]() I had major problems with the package I invested in (WireCAD) and it still gives me heartburn thinking about it. The difficulty with the product on Windows platforms is that they don't translate well to Mac especially if you try to use them in a virtual environment (Parallels, in my case). Some use SQL Libraries translating objects to object with data inside a database(s) to manage your program elements by cut & paste or drag & drop. Many good apps provide a lot of pre-made libraries which are time savers in a business model. I don't know how you are with using remade libraries of device information, but to that end, building up your own libraries of design elements) is quote labor intensive, if you go it alone (have to do it all yourself). There are all sorts of offshoots in the engineering-specific areas as well. However, Vectorworks has developed a good rep for the lighting industry (Spotlight) and the architectural industry in CAD 2D, 3D drafting/production. For my work, over the last ten years, in drafting and design for Video Engineering/Installation projects, sadly, Windows had the best alternatives and I was forced to use it.

Assuming they acquired the individual's machine data, would they hang the person out to dry over a single missing night? I wouldn't put it past the realm of possibility. I'm thinking of worst-case edge scenarios like an individual with a severe diagnosis who actually never had daytime sleepiness (before or after treatment) had a controlled treated AHI but then skipped a night on the machine for one reason or another (or worse yet: corrupted/lost data!) and then got into a legitimate accident without any sleepiness (presumably not that person's fault, according to the worst-case scenario).

![]() The best part? Velcro strips can be easily removed without leaving any residue or damaging your walls. These adhesive strips come in different sizes and strengths, making them perfect for hanging up everything from posters to picture frames. When you’re ready to take down your posters or pictures, simply pull them away from the wall at an angle while holding down on one corner with your other hand.Īnother benefit of using Poster Putty is its versatility – you can use it not only for hanging up decorations but also as an eraser substitute when working with charcoal drawings! Binder Clips One great thing about Poster Putty is that you can easily remove it without leaving any residue behind. Then gently press the poster onto your wall. It’s easy to use – simply pinch off a small piece of the putty, roll it into a ball, and press it onto the back of your poster or picture. This reusable adhesive putty is perfect for renters or anyone who wants to avoid damaging their walls. This makes them ideal for organizing bills, receipts, and other important documents on your fridge door. You won’t have to worry about leaving holes in walls or damaging paint when you use these handy little tools.Īnother great feature of magnetic clips is their strength – they can hold multiple sheets of paper without slipping off the surface. One of the best things about magnetic clips is that they don’t damage surfaces like push pins do. These clips can also be used to organize cables by clipping them together behind your desk or TV stand. A better move is to keep your pushpins out of reach of little fingers by locking them in a drawer or cabinet or storing them up high.They come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, making them perfect for holding up notes or photos on your fridge or any magnetic surface. This type of pin won’t be as sharp, though. If you have young children around, you might want to go for pushpins with safety tips.One alternative technique is to use a coated paperclip to hold your photo, then flatten the paperclip against your bulletin board and use a pin to hold it in place. If you have cards, photos and other memorabilia you want to preserve, you might not want to use a pushpin. One downside of pushpins is that they’ll poke a hole in your items.Double-headed pushpins might more easily tackle that job, but you may be better off going with a hook or nail that you can drive into the wall. Most pushpins won’t be strong enough to hold heavier items like framed photos or clocks.You can find longer or shorter ones, but the longer ones might poke through your board and shorter ones might not dig deep enough for a secure hold. The standard size of the needles that come with pushpins is 3/8 inches.Also, consider clear or low-profile options that are less visible, so the focus stays on the content you’re pinning. You can stick with primary colors or find some that match your aesthetic. Today’s pushpins come in many styles and colors.Set aside some storage space for your pins, especially if you’re buying in bulk. Pus pins typically come in a container for storage, but you should check to make sure it meets your needs.When you’re ready to remove the pushpin, it should also be easy to take out. You’ll want a pushpin that sinks into the material and, once it’s been placed, maintain its hold. The pin should have a sharp, fine point to make it easier to push into your bulletin board. You’ll want one made from durable steel to ensure it will hold up over many uses. Whether they’re clear or colored, the longer heads make the pins easier to grip.īefore you choose a pushpin, though, it’s important to pay attention to the pin itself. But over the years, pushpins with plastic heads have become more popular. Traditional pushpins came in more of a thumbtack style, with a flat, wide head. ![]() And one great thing about using pushpins is that you can easily change things up to make the space your own, no matter what that means to you. Using bulletin boards or putting images up on cubicle walls with pushpins can help inspire your work, remind you of your family, or help you recall notes, meetings and errands. Studies have even shown that workspace personalization can combat emotional exhaustion, give you a feeling of control over your environment, and help you become more productive. Whether you work in an open office, a cubicle, or a home setup, customizing your workspace can help you create a comfortable space of your own.

Like a game of Golf, you can play and score nine rounds of Golf Solitaire either individually or against others. When looking at 279,751 random games played, 45,523 were won, or 16.27%. You can use our hint button to help you identify which cards to move or our undo button to try different moves. You can go backward and match a 4 of Spades from the tableau with the 5 of Clubs, and you can go forward again and match the four of spades with a five of diamonds. For example, you match the waste pile four of hearts with a 5 of Clubs in the tableau, and then the 5 becomes the new waste pile card. As you examine your moves, keep in mind that you can move in both directions. Remember that you can move up and down with rank.Work to pair in the longest sequences you can to remove as many cards in one move as possible. Examine the tableau carefully before each move. So do your best to find as many matches as possible so you can avoid using the stockpile unless absolutely necessary. You only get to cycle through the stockpile once, and you only get 16 cards. You can increase your chances of winning by using the following strategies: Unlike traditional Klondike Solitaire, the gaps left behind by removing cards can't be used to move or store other cards you must play from the pyramid as is. You can’t move cards around the tableau into any sequences. The only moves you can make are pairing cards from the tableau with waste pile cards. However, you can only cycle through the stock pile once, or else the game is over. In this instance, you can flip over the next stock pile card to create a new waste pile card. You may get stuck with a waste pile card that you can’t pair with a card on the tableau. The tableau card you pair then becomes the top card of the waste pile. For example, if a Jack of Clubs is the top card of the waste pile, you can pair it with either a 10 of any suit or a Quen of any suit in the tableau. You can only pair the top waste pile card with tableau cards that are one rank higher or lower.Additionally, when you pair a card from the tableau with the top card in the waste pile, the tableau cards become the new top card of the waste pile, the one that needs to be paired next. Waste pile: Cards flipped up from the stock pile become the top card in the waste pile.The first card of the stock pile is flipped up to begin a waste pile, leaving you with only 16 stock pile cards. Stock pile: The remaining cards are placed face-down and spread out horizontally at the bottom of the tableau.Each column has 5 cards, and all cards are face-up and overlapping slightly so you can see the ranks of all the cards in the tableau. Tableau: You need to clear all of the cards in the 7 column tableau.Golf Solitaire has three basic piles that you use to play the game: ObjectiveĬlear the tableau of cards in the fewest moves possible by pairing the top card from the waste pile with one from the tableau that is one rank higher or lower. You use one deck of cards in this game, and you only have to remove the cards in the 7 column tableau to win. ).Golf Solitaire has you move all the cards from the tableau to the waste pile to win the game, unlike the traditional Klondike Solitaire where you arrange cards into the foundation piles. System requirementsĬlassic Solitaire can be played in all modern browsers, on all device types (desktop, tablet, mobile), and on all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS. Also on this options screen you can change the background for the game and which card set you use. For the classic game, select Draw 3 Cards. For an easier game of cards, click the options button and select Draw 1 Card. This version of solitaire allows you to also select which rules you wish to play with. Only a group of cards beginning with a King can placed on an empty cell in the layout area. Red King, Black Queen, Red Jack, Black 10, Red 9). They must be placed in descending numerical order and with alternating colors (e.g. Groups of cards can be moved between the columns of cards in the layout. Turn the deck over, located in the top left, to reveal more cards. All the other cards must be placed in ascending numerical order (with a matching suit) on top of the appropriate foundation pile. The goal of the game is to move all the cards to the set of foundation cells in the top right. This is the classic version of the klondike solitaire game that many of you already know how to play.

Last month, Bitcoin developer and researcher Burak Keceli told CoinDesk, “Lightning has many problems. Many experts agree that liquidity management is Lightning’s Achilles’ heel. One example of that innovation is what Mutiny calls just-in-time channels, which is a feature that alleviates the burden of managing channel liquidity – the ability to send and receive funds on Lightning, Bitcoin’s second layer payment network for cheaper and faster transactions. “So we can ship and push updates that are not restricted to the limitations of the Apple or Google store platforms.” “Our main difference compared to other Lightning wallets like Phoenix and Muun is that our wallet is a progressive web app (PWA),” Giorgio told CoinDesk. Mutiny CEO Tony Giorgio says creating a web-based wallet allows for unrestricted innovation and is the key quality that sets the product apart from its competition. Two of Mutiny’s founders later released a workaround for the Damus feature, known as Zapple Pay, that relies on emojis to trigger tips. That app’s developer was forced to remove a bitcoin tipping feature that Apple ultimately considered a prohibited form of payment for digital content. Apple has reportedly censored bitcoin-focused products like the decentralized social media app Damus. The wallet is browser-based, which avoids restrictions that might be placed on wallets distributed through app stores run by Apple or Google.

With Toy Story Land opening this summer, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is very likely to close that gap. If TEA numbers are to be believed (and we’d encourage a healthy dose of skepticism), Epcot is now the third-most attended park at Walt Disney World, with Animal Kingdom having surged past it thanks to the opening of Pandora last year. Knowing that’s really unlikely, I’d compromise with a similarly original (non-IP) soundtrack, and drones forming the shape of characters, or something like that.įinally, there’s the matter of attendance. Personally, I’d love to see something abstract and authentically cultural a la IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Now, there’s some inconsistency about whether that’ll be the case. At one point, their integration was rumored to be a sure thing. One thing we don’t know is to what degree intellectual property and characters will be featured in the new show. (Separately, we’ve heard that other effects, aside from drones, originally planned for Rivers of Light that didn’t work out will be integrated into Windows on the World.) Second, there has been a precipitous spike in chatter about the IllumiNations replacement in the WDWMagic thread about the rumor, with many insiders chiming in to corroborate both the accelerated schedule for this project and the detail about drones being used. Logistically, it’s not clear how this staging area would work in light of those restrictions (assuming they’re still even in place). I haven’t kept track of whether there have been other waivers further easing these restrictions, but even without that, it was long-assumed that World Showcase Lagoon would be the ideal location for a drone show because of the clearance the center of the lagoon provided away from guest areas. One such waiver was predicated upon the drone’s having flight paths 100 feet away from guest areas at all times, that they would primarily fly over water and restricted areas, maxing out at 150 feet above the ground. In terms of using drones, Walt Disney World has gone back and forth with the FAA to receive waivers on its own no-fly zones, which Disney generally has received upon showing a plan to mitigate risks. (Those same type of drones were used to much greater effect at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics.) As you might recall, there was a drone show at Disney Springs for Christmas two years ago, which was largely considered a proof-of-concept test at the time. On Episode 165 of the Disney Dish Podcast, Jim Hill indicates that this land clearing will be used as a staging location for drones in the new IllumiNations show. Check out this photo of where the cleared area is located. Your first reaction might be that this is for the Japan pavilion’s new high-end restaurant, but that’s definitely not the case. First, for the last few weeks, land clearing has been occurring south of the Japan pavilion at Epcot. There are a few bases for the surge in this new rumor. As other high-profile projects have been announced, that news has taken center stage, but an IllumiNations replacement has remained in the cards. While many of the specifics of that plan have changed, the scope and scale were accurate, and so to was the rumor of an IllumiNations replacement. Three years ago, when we first reported on the plans for a $3.5 Billion Expansion of Walt Disney World, that was one of the specific plans. This rumor is not even new as of this year. Well, it would appear that the timeframe has been moved up on the IllumiNations replacement significantly as the rumor mill has gone into overdrive the last few days concerning the replacement, which has been dubbed IllumiNations: Windows on the World (it’s unclear whether IllumiNations will be in the final name). An interim show prior to then would be of necessity, with a smaller-scale offering enabling necessary infrastructure before the debut of the replacement nighttime spectacular. We shared vague rumors about this a few months ago, which focused on the possibility of a new show in 2020 with an interim fireworks show prior to then due to the recording of soundtrack demos for the new show.Īn IllumiNations replacement has been rumored for ages, but we previously expected the new show to debut simultaneously with the substantial completion of Epcot’s re-imagining in 2020 or Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021. We’re back with another Walt Disney World rumor this time, an update on the IllumiNations: Windows on the World nighttime spectacular coming to Epcot. But the gap between the two finalists seems a lot closer than I initially may have thought before today.
