![]() Using this to adjust audio as a desktop PC user seems more cumbersome. This will probably be more useful to the Xbox user. Audioįrom this page you can adjust the audio, and microphone, with several EQ modes. I did the same test on the standard profile and the lowest number I could pick up was multiples of -000129. From there, it’s very easy to move it up to -00002 and on. With the same pressure I used on the fast profile, I was able to achieve -00001 on the test plane while in precision mode. Precision mode was exactly that, it allows you to have much finer movements. The slightest movement uses multiples of -03564 on the axis. ![]() Switching back to the test page allows you to feel and see the difference between each of these. It also offers a page with standard, precision, and fast profiles. There is a test page, where you can see the 32bit HallEffect sensors move across the plane on the X and Y axes. Your current input will always be displayed on the left of the flight management screen. The simulators will not recognize the stick properly if this is not on the correct setting. This allows you to set the stick for either Xbox or PC. The first option in the rolodex is the Input page. Right click starts and stops the chrono timer and left click sets it back to zero. The left and right click also have another purpose, if used from the flight management home screen. Turning the ring scrolls through the options within these pages. Turning the ring presents the 10 different pages I’m going to describe. The ring is out of the way, and left room for the layout they ultimately went with. I thought this was a very interesting way to design it. This screen and its many facets, are navigated by clicking and turning the silver ring in the center of the base. It can be kind of jumpy, but you can tune it to be more or less responsive.įor this next section, I want to cover what Turtlebeach calls the Flight Management Screen. The pad is no bigger than the tip of your index finger, which is not a lot of room to work with. It’s one of those features I never considered adding to a stick, but it can be useful in virtual reality, or if you can’t reach a mouse during flight. This works like the touch pads found on laptops. Above the wheel is a small, single click touchpad. This can be used for trimming your aircraft or scrolling menus. Moving up to the stick, we have the X, Y and twist axes, a single button trigger, 8-way POV Hat switch, push-able analog stick, two flat buttons, and a push-able scroll wheel. No other USB ports are present to power other peripherals. You can also tether your other Turtlebeach hardware to the base if needed, with two additional USB-C ports on the back. On the middle of the stick base, there are three menu buttons, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. All in all, a total of 12 programmable buttons on the base. Below these levers, are four additional buttons you can program. Neither lever track has detents as you move down the track, but there is a button detent at both ends. These handles can be swapped side to side. On both sides of the base, we have an axis lever with removable rubber handles. This means your field of movement is -32,767 counts per revolution. I came to this conclusion when trying some of the built in calibration. Though it’s not clearly stated on the box, or in their marketing, this stick appears to be using 16 bit HallEffect sensors. They work by detecting voltage inputs across a magnetic field. HallEffect are pretty standard these days in controllers. Internally, HallEffect sensors are being used to control the axis. To get a sense of scale, this joystick measures 9.2 in high (233 mm) from base to stick, 8.5 in (216 mm) wide base, 5.75 in (146 mm) in depth, and weighs 1.8 lbs (0.823 kg). They also provide a set of M5 screws, and good thing they did! More on that later… The stick comes pre-assembled, with only a USB-C cable to attach. The contents of the box include a detailed map around the stick, with mapping suggestions, and how to get started. You even get a little handle on the top of the box, in case you need to carry it around. The packaging for the Flightstick is efficient, and very easy to unbox.

On his radio show, Rantz expressed surprise that the lottery couldn't keep the site operational after rejiggering the AI's safety settings. Speaking to Rantz, a lottery spokesperson said the organization had "agreed to a comprehensive set of rules" for the site's AI images, "including that people in images be fully clothed." Following the report of the topless image, the spokesperson said they "had the developers check all the parameters for the platform." And while they were "comfortable with the settings," the spokesperson told Rantz they "chose to take down the site out of an abundance of caution, as we don’t want something like this purported event to happen again." Not a quick fix? The spokesperson did not respond to specific questions about which AI models or third-party vendors may have been used to create the site or on the specific safeguards that were crafted in an attempt to prevent results like the one reported by Megan.

Professional landscaper, large grounds outdoor maintenance If you’re comfortable with petrol engine power tools, then the ECHO HC-2020 is a great choice. If you have a large garden to maintain then there are more options that’s work.

Shafted hedge-trimmers are most commonly used by professionals. This means operators do not need to use ladders to trim hedge tops. The blades sit atop a long shaft and can be articulated to cut at different angles. Shafted-hedge trimmers, also known as pole hedge trimmers, are ideal for dealing with tall and wide hedges. This gives a clean, professional finish to hedges and means you don’t need to get your leaf blower out to clean up. Another advantage is the clipping collector which discards clippings away from the hedge as soon as they are trimmed. This makes them great for trimming very large and wide hedges. Because the blade is much longer, you’ll cut more with each pass. Lighter blades mean the blade can be much longer whilst still maintaining good balance. Single sided hedge-trimmers offer big advantages in certain situations. Since this is the most common form of hedge trimmer you can easily find corded, battery or petrol models. So, it makes sense to think of double-sided hedge trimmers as all-rounders for general use. This makes them really well suited to most jobs and even more advanced and precise shaping. ![]() The double-sided blades allow you to change the direction of trimming with ease.

In 2004, Macromedia Flex was released, and specifically targeted the application development market. Such Web-based applications eventually became known as "Rich Internet Applications" and later "Rich Web Applications". ![]() Rich Internet Applications Īfter Flash 5 introduced ActionScript in 2000, developers combined the visual and programming capabilities of Flash to produce interactive experiences and applications for the Web. In 2015, YouTube switched to HTML5 technology on most devices by default however, YouTube supported the Flash-based video player for older web browsers and devices until 2017. In 2016, Google discontinued Swiffy and its support. In 2015, Google introduced Google Swiffy, a tool that converted Flash animation to HTML5, which Google used to automatically convert Flash web ads for mobile devices. After a controversy with Apple, Adobe stopped developing Flash Player for Mobile, focusing its efforts on Adobe AIR applications and HTML5 animation. In 2007, YouTube offered videos in HTML5 format to support the iPhone and iPad, which did not support Flash Player. After Adobe introduced hardware-accelerated 3D for Flash ( Stage3D), Flash websites saw a growth of 3D content for product demonstrations and virtual tours. Notable users include Nike, Hewlett-Packard (more commonly known as HP), Nokia, General Electric, World Wildlife Fund, HBO, Cartoon Network, Disney, and Motorola. ![]() īetween 20, numerous businesses used Flash-based websites to launch new products, or to create interactive company portals. In 2005, YouTube was founded by former PayPal employees, and it used Adobe Flash Player as a means to display compressed video content on the web. In the early 2000s, Flash was widely installed on desktop computers, and was often used to display interactive web pages and online games, and to play video and audio content. Adobe continues to develop Adobe Animate, which supports web standards such as HTML5 instead of the Flash format. The Flash Player was deprecated in 2017 and officially discontinued at the end of 2020 for all users outside mainland China, as well as non-enterprise users, with many web browsers and operating systems scheduled to remove the Flash Player software around the same time. Following an open letter written by Steve Jobs in 2010 stating that he would not approve the use of Flash on Apple's iOS devices due to numerous security flaws, use of Flash declined as Adobe transitioned to the Adobe AIR platform. Instead, Flash found a niche as the dominant platform for online multimedia content, particularly for browser games. Adobe AIR enables full-featured desktop and mobile applications to be developed with Flash and published for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.įlash was initially used to create fully-interactive websites, but this approach was phased out with the introduction of HTML5. Programmers can implement Flash software using an IDE such as Adobe Animate, Adobe Flash Builder, Adobe Director, FlashDevelop, and Powerflasher FDT. The ActionScript programming language allows the development of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Adobe Flash Lite enabled viewing Flash content on older smartphones, but since has been discontinued and superseded by Adobe AIR. Adobe Flash Player (which is available on Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux) enables end users to view Flash content using web browsers.
