![]() They need an upgrade at some point, and here I'd really prefer it to be done retroactively to all planes. BoX DM graphics has one giant issue, and that's the horrible 2K damage decals. In BoX the DM seems much more dynamic and brutal, even if at its core it is simpler than ClOD DM. It looks like you just throw a bunch of matchsticks at it (seriously, that's what the ClOD tracers look like to me) and then it either starts burning or falls apart. In ClOD you never really get the sense, that you're doing damage to the plane you're shooting at. You are talking about our visual damage model, did you see those flaming 109s in that video? It looks absolutely rubbish. ![]() ![]() However, my appreciation for ClOC graphics kinda ends there. It don't think it's something that needs to be addressed at the moment, but I'd be happy to see 4K cockpits for the coming Pacific installments. It's not that the BoX ones are bad, they are just wholly unremarkable. We have improved outside skins of our aircraft by giving us the ability to create and use 4k skins (not fully implemented in the game yet though) however I think its now time to increase the quality of our cockpit textures and then hopefully one day the visual damage model as frankly put its not the bestĬlOD cockpits are superior to BoX, no ands, ifs or buts about it. I think it is mostly down to the texture resolution though. I have just been comparing footage of our spits cockpit to the cockpits of CLOD and I have to honestly say I prefer clod's in some regards, the metals of the canopy frame look so much better, they actually look metal. Just been watching this video and one thing that certainly is a shocker to me is the quality of cockpit textures

![]() The volume of a filter basket determines how much coffee can be used to pull a shot. The machine handles the loading, cleaning, and dumps the used grounds in a separate container. Superautomatic espresso makers come with a pressurized portafilter, so you don’t have to tamp the coffee (compress it). The portafilter is where the water is pushed under pressure through coffee grounds. Or, just press the espresso button twice. Some have it available as a button, while for others, you’ll either have to program it in so that it does two cycles of espresso. Most superautomatic espresso machines and coffee makers can brew single and double-shot espresso. The point of buying an espresso machine is to pull crema-rich espresso. Importantly, screens offer the possibility of displaying specific error codes, which is a great asset if you ever encounter a problem. Top-of-the-line super-autos come with a touchscreen, but regular buttons in cheaper units work just as well. LED/LCD ScreenĪ screen is a great feature because it shows you notifications and expands the available programmable settings. Oily beans leave a residue on the burrs, which over time, can result in poor performance and even unintended consequences. Granted, you shouldn’t use oily beans with any super-auto machine. It would take some digging to see exactly what type of burrs it uses (conical, flat, etc.), but from the reviews, we read on dozens of machines, the grinders work well in all of them. Super-auto machines usually come with a built-in grinder. How important are they to you? Bean Grinder Here’s a list of things to look for that we put together. You can get around that, but pouring your morning latte into a taller mug can ruin the milk texture. For example, you read a bunch of reviews, and you finally settle on your choice, only to discover that the maximum cup height is 4 inches, smaller than the mugs you drink from. What to Look for in a Super-Automatic Espresso MachineĬhoosing from the myriad of superautomatic espresso coffee machines can be difficult because some features might not fit your lifestyle. If you need an ultra-large capacity machine and you’re on a budget of about $1,500, this is the one for you. This machine Impressa-ed us with its modern design, an abundance of features, and quality that we feel is worth the $1,500 (refurbished) price tag. Low water and coffee warnings are displayed on the graphic display, so you never have to worry about running out. All you have to do is feed it non-oily, high-quality coffee beans, and the machine does the rest. The Impressa also has a built-in grinder with six grind settings to choose from. You’re probably thinking, how did this not win the “Best Capacity” award? This is another discontinued model, which we felt disqualified it from being called “Best Capacity.: However, the factory refurbished units work just as well as the new units and are half the price.Ĭustomize to your heart’s content by adjusting the brew settings to dial in your coffee. One thing to consider is parts and maintenance, which may become an issue if something breaks (just to remind you, this model is discontinued). ![]() ![]() Made in Italy, used around the world by coffee lovers. ![]() We recommend this machine for people that want super-auto convenience at a reasonable price. All of that in one stainless steel, stylish package. It takes only a few minutes to start up, and it can consistently produce tasty drinks all day long. It’s easy to clean thanks to the removable brewing group (where the coffee comes out), and you can remove the milk carafe to store it in your fridge if necessary. The Saeco Intelia Deluxe machine has multiple drink options, including settings to customize your favorite drinks. We’ve seen these go for $600 refurbished - a great deal for what you get. The upside is if you buy a refurbished unit, you’ll save almost 50% off the original retail price. Important note: this model is discontinued and can only be purchased in used, or refurbished condition. Saeco is part of the Phillips group, hence the name. ![]() In the soccer world, Los Angeles-based women’s soccer team Angel City FC has put in the work to become a household name, not just in LA County but across the nation. But to Germain, that concern has less to do with China knowing your phone number and more to do with propaganda. Still, Germain said there’s some genuine cause for concern, since China’s government has previously pushed the country’s companies to do its bidding. “.I think people, when they're worried about TikTok doing something, they should ask themselves whether they should be worried about American companies doing the same thing.” “If the Chinese government wanted it, they could just go out and buy it because it's for sale,” he said. ![]() Consumers’ credit card purchases, contact lists and recent GPS locations are hawked by hundreds, if not thousands, of companies in the so-called data broker industry, Germain noted. TikTok is hardly the only company swallowing a lot of data on Americans, from car makers to smart doorbell firms. “The TikTok app is not unique in the amount of information it collects, compared to other mobile apps,” the company said. user traffic is now routed to American software giant Oracle’s servers. Additionally, the company recently announced that all of U.S. user data to the Chinese government, nor would it do so if asked. TikTok says it has never provided any U.S. national security, which is what makes it so troubling that personnel in Beijing are accessing this sensitive and personnel data,” Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr recently said. “The CCP has a track record longer than a CVS receipt of conducting business & industrial espionage as well as other actions contrary to U.S. lawmakers and administration officials contend that TikTok’s Chinese ownership poses a national security risk. With the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exerting considerable power over the nation’s tech companies, U.S. TikTok is owned by Beijing-based tech giant ByteDance and China is an economic and foreign policy rival to the U.S. Regarding biometrics, TikTok said editing features may automatically locate a person’s face to apply an effect, but those features do not uniquely identify individuals. For example, keystroke patterns may be used solely for anti-fraud and spam purposes, according to TikTok. However, the company says it doesn’t necessarily take in or store all of this. The company’s privacy policy permits TikTok to collect a wide range of additional data, from consumers’ keystroke patterns to biometric info. “This vast trove of data that every social media company has-on what people are interested in, what makes them upset, what makes them happy-is incredibly valuable,” he said. Those insights are useful for advertisers and-potentially-for spreading political messages, Germain noted. TikTok is quite good at figuring out peoples’ interests based on the videos or accounts they’ve previously liked or followed. Germain told dot.LA the most valuable info may come from the way users interact with the video sharing app. ![]() The app also knows users’ approximate locations and mobile device identifiers, such as IP addresses. To start, TikTok receives names, ages, phone numbers and emails when people sign up for the service. Like other social media giants, TikTok gobbles up a lot of user information. To answer these questions, dot.LA reviewed TikTok’s privacy policy and interviewed Thomas Germain, a technology writer for Consumer Reports who specializes in privacy issues. What kind of data does TikTok collect? And should we worry about a potential national security threat when Americans’ data is accessed by employees of ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company? data, with some lawmakers calling for an investigation into the Culver City-based company. TikTok has come under renewed scrutiny over how it handles U.S. ![]() The interface may be a bit daunting for a beginner however, if you hover the mouse pointer over any icon, the phrase that is displayed is pretty much self-explanatory.

The built-in recorder creates MP3 on-the-fly. There is no quality loss to the edited files into the bargain, which is what an audio aficionado always appreciates. This essentially saves work, encoding time and disk space. You can remove unnecessary parts, alter the volume, split files, or crop/copy regions to new files, all without the need to decompress your MP3 into PCM/WAV aka re-encoding/transcoding.

After the war, military scientists returned to civilian life or continued in the Armed Forces and pursued their work in developing a use for those echoes. History Typhoon Cobra as seen on a ship's radar screen in December 1944.ĭuring World War II, military radar operators noticed noise in returned echoes due to rain, snow, and sleet. Radar output is even incorporated into numerical weather prediction models to improve analyses and forecasts. Raw images are routinely processed by specialized software to make short term forecasts of future positions and intensities of rain, snow, hail, and other weather phenomena. Since then, weather radar has evolved and is used by national weather services, research departments in universities, and in television stations' weather departments. Soon after the war, surplus radars were used to detect precipitation. Techniques were developed to filter them, but scientists began to study the phenomenon. Both types of data can be analyzed to determine the structure of storms and their potential to cause severe weather.ĭuring World War II, radar operators discovered that weather was causing echoes on their screens, masking potential enemy targets. ![]() Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the precipitation. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar ( WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). ![]() Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction Radar used to locate and monitor meteorological conditions ![]() This is very important to know if the catalyst monitor just plain won’t run, no matter how much you drive. In the case of the catalyst monitor, the O2 sensors are the key sensors. ![]() All monitors, including the catalyst monitor, are dependents on sensors. The catalyst monitor is a series of tests the car’s computer (ECM) does to determine if the catalytic converter is working normally. It’s extremely rare that there’s a problem with the car. The catalyst drive pattern is almost always something you can do yourself while driving somewhere you needed to go anyway. If you’re ready to give up, we’ll do it for you, and if we can’t get it to run, we’ll find out why it’s not running and fix the problem(s), but we charge. ![]() The monitor for the catalytic converter is usually one of the most difficult to get to run. You think, “I’ve already driven the car!” Wash, rinse, repeat - until you have no hair left. The guy says you’ve got to drive some more. The guy says you’ve got to drive around some more. Since you’re reading this, I’m guessing that you’ve learned what a monitor is, and are pretty frustrated. “Not so fast”, says the state, “We’re also going to check to see if the monitors are complete.”Ī few years ago, most drivers (and a few mechanics) had no idea what a monitor is. “Ah ha!”, says the crafty consumer, “I’ll just disconnect the battery to clear codes and then go pass the smog test!” It’s simple test and has reduced the price of smog testing. If the check engine light is on, the car fails. Instead, we check to see if the vehicle’s computer has found any problems that might cause increased emissions during the smog inspection. How do you get a catalyst monitor to run? Why do you need it to run? Well, in California all vehicles model year 2000 and newer don’t require a tailpipe emissions test.
