![]() There are ways to do this in Photoshop as well, but it involves a few more steps, and Pixelmator's version is easy enough that I could see it being a useful tool for photoboards as well. With Pixelmator Pro, it's as simple as dragging in a new background layer and blending them. Portrait mode creates a depth map that makes it very easy to separate a subject from the background, which is how it creates its out-of-focus effect. If you use an iPhone for your location scout photos, there's a very well-integrated functionality with the iPhone portrait mode for compositing in backgrounds. Pixelmator Pro also makes scouting locations with your phone easy. There are similar features like this in Photoshop, but it was really nice to have it on by default making working with the tool a breeze. Before you start selecting, the program previews what you'll select wherever the mouse is hovering. One feature that's turned on by default is the quick select tool. This shows you all the controls for a tool and gives you an indication of how to customize it. One of the features I liked most about Pixelmator Pro is that it has a much bigger default toolbar menu. ![]() Recreating those same composites in Pixelmator Pro with no recourse to tutorials was fast, easy, and efficient. I could have done the composites in Resolve, but Photoshop is simply better when it comes to still images. I will pull images from the company's website, open them in Photoshop to composite them, and then animate them in Resolve. As for tools, it has over a dozen different adjustment types including levels, curves, color balance, sharpen, and grain to tune your images.Īs a filmmaker, my primary uses for Photoshop are text manipulation, image adjustments, and comps and mock-ups for previz and prep.įor instance, when I'm bidding on a commercial, I want to create a boardmatic of ideas. If you shoot RAW, Pixelmator Pro supports RAW photos from over 600 digital cameras including Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony. The versatile program works with Photoshop's (PSD) layered file format and many common image file structures we all work with. Better yet, the software supports the new M1 chip from Apple, so it has some speed under the hood. Pixelmator Pro is currently in version 2.0.5, and it's one of the best programs I've used for photo editing outside of Photoshop. Let's take a deeper dive into Pixelmator Pro. The latter has a popular following of users who like its tight integration into Mac software and hardware for more efficient rendering and automation. Pixelmator for iOS is designed for Apple smartphones, Pixelmator Photo is for iPads, and Pixelmator Pro is geared toward Mac computers. Pixelmator has been around since 2007, and they offer three different software options, each one dedicated to a specific platform. Since then, we've seen plenty of competitors emerge, one of the most popular being Pixelmator. In 2019 alone, Adobe made 11 billion dollars in revenue. With Adobe's Creative Cloud, a monthly subscription-based platform, you may be paying for a program each month you rarely use. How? Well, when you become proficient with a program you're less likely to want to switch and learn something new. And we'd argue that in its early days of being heavily pirated, it may have hurt them financially, but it also benefited them as well. For a long time, Adobe software was really the only viable option. As filmmakers, photo editing software is a critical link in the creativity chain. ![]() Dodoĭodo is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain.

On an i7-5960X (8C/16T) CPU 4.6 GHz, Deblock on even the lowest setting will change a 5-7 minute encoding time to 15-20 often even reaching 30+ minutes.ĭeblocking on even the lowest setting drops 60-70 fps to 14-16 fps, dropping the CPU usage from 80-100% to 15-30%. But generally, using the GPU is faster.Please make a multithread Deblock filter like or similar to the NLMeans Denoise filter. Also, using the GPU is inconsistent, sometimes it can be longer to encode a video than using software encoder in Handbrake. The drawback is that the GPU encode results in a far larger file size. Generally, I find that encoding a video in Handbrake is quite a bit faster (up to 50%) using the GPU than the CPU. I am not sure what GPU you have, but if it is decent AMD or NVidia card, you can select the encode in the video section to the appropriate video card. If you want to prevent the issue, you would have to get a better cooler for the CPU, either a 280mm radiator or a beefier air cooler. It will lengthen your encoding times a bit (depending how much a difference the speed drops by). This will prevent the CPU from going to turbo mode, i.e. Then select Change Plan Settings, Change Advanced Power settings, Processor Power Management, select Maximum Power State and select 99%. Go to Control Panel, Power Options and select Power Saver. One workaround for you is to limit the CPU speed. Luckily, your ASUS TUF motherboard has a good VRM design so it does not exhibit this issue. When that happened, the CPU would throttle down its speed until the VRMs cooled down. the VRMs) and that would also hit 95 degrees as well. One big issue i had was that my MSi X570 MPG Gaming Pro Carbon had crappy power supply design (e.g. After upgrading to a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AIO 280mm radiator, the temps dropped to about 80-85 degrees. I have a 3900X and it easily hits 95 degrees with the stock AMD Wraith Prism air cooler. It will run all cores of a CPU at 100% usage at full throttle. ![]() Handbrake is one of the most stressful apps for a CPU. ![]() But I also didn't monitor that PC as closely, by the time I started using handbrake the PC was older so I can't actually recall checking the heat on it while handbrake was running. I don't recall handbrake ever maxing out the heat on my old CPU (which was only 70 celcius). Maybe someone could suggest a converter that doesn't put the system under such heat? Is this normal? How long can it stay at that temp before it damages something? When I rip a DVD onto my PC, it auto-rips into a format that has no audio on play station 4, so in order to watch it on playstation, it HAS to be converted. It stayed at 95 until the conversion was complete, then instantly dropped to 45 and slowly cooled back to 39. I'm not sure how quickly it got to 95 as I just happened to look over and notice it about 25% done with conversion. Red Dead Redemption 2 got it to 60 degrees Celsius after 10 hours of straight gameplay. The Ryzen master application claims 95 is the MAXIMUM heat for my cpu. I've recently built a PC and this morning I converted a video with handbrake for the first time on this PC and I noticed that core temp was reading all cores at 95 degrees Celsius. To have radiant flooring added to your home, labour costs are where you’ll see the majority of the costs. Installing a radiant floor heating system Speak to your electricity provider to see if they offer any breaks. TIP: Some hydro companies offer incentives for installing radiant floors. While an electric system is much cheaper to install, the costs to run are much higher than a natural gas boiler system. Also, because you’ll be maintaining a consistent heat, the monthly cost of heating to you will be reduced from what it would be if you were running a traditional furnace. A smart thermostat can schedule the heat to turn on just before you get home, and can be just warm enough during the day to keep pipes from freezing. ![]() Of course, costs will depend on the size of the space you’re heating, cost of electricity or natural gas, how well your home is insulated, and what type of thermostat you use. Also, because the air isn’t being blown around, there is less heat lost to doors and windows. The temperature throughout the room is regulated, as opposed to a furnace that will constantly be turning on and off constantly trying to maintain a certain temperature. Plus, there’s the added benefit that radiant flooring is invisible and quiet.īecause radiant flooring heats up faster and can run at lower temperatures, the operating costs can be significantly lower than traditional heating systems, such as a furnace. With radiant floor heating, you don’t have to worry about the air cooling then warming again, nor do you have to worry about allergens being blown around your space. It’s why we have furnace filters, to capture any dust or allergens. A home furnace uses cold air returns, heats the air, and pushes it out through the vents. Radiant floor heating is also much cleaner. If in concrete, the heat lasts longer because it warms the concrete mass which, once heated, will hold the heat better than air. It’s more efficient than a vent that heats in specific locations. Or you might also see cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing installed beneath your floor in the joist cavities or in concrete (great for basements).Īs the mats or tubes heat up, your room is heated evenly because the mats cover the floor. Either insulated electric wires (typically mats) embedded into concrete or a tiled floor. Radiant flooring typically comes in two forms. Remember the old radiators? Accordion shaped, searing hot, and bulky – sitting just below the window, and taking up much of the wall? Well, imagine one of those spread out and hidden underneath your floor. But what is radiant flooring? And how does it work? Radiant floor heating – the basics If this describes you, then you might consider having radiant floor heating installed.

De Gaulle presented himself as a candidate for prime minister in 1958, and the National Assembly authorized him to change the French constitution in December 1958 de Gaulle was elected president of France. His political activity ended temporarily in 1955, when he began to work on his memoirs, but in 1958 he returned to public life.īy the end of the 1950s, France was embroiled in a military and political conflict in one of its colonies, Algeria. He organized a loose party, the Rally of the French People, which became powerful enough to win a sizable number of seats in the French National Assembly, but he left the group in 1953. For twelve years de Gaulle argued against the republic because he saw it as too similar to the Third French Republic, which he thought had been unable to govern effectively. In August 1944 de Gaulle returned to Paris with the victorious Allied armed forces he refused to meet with the envoy P étain sent to establish peace, and de Gaulle became head of the new French government.ĭe Gaulle resigned, however, in 1946 because of his dissatisfaction with the power of the various political parties that formed a new Fourth French Republic. He served as co-president of the committee with Henri Giraud (1879-1949), but successfully moved Giraud out of the role, signaling his political abilities. In 1943 he moved to Algiers, Algeria, where he formed the French Committee of National Liberation. De Gaulle maintained contact with French resistance groups, and he broadcast radio appeals to his fellow citizens, creating increased national recognition of his leadership. He also had problems with the Allies, often because of his strong commitment to a free France. He formed a shadow government, eventually known as the Free French Forces, although his military background was not attractive to French liberals and his condemnation of the P étain government meant that French conservatives held little regard for him. Although de Gaulle had no political base, he was deeply committed to a free France. In August 1940 he was sentenced to death by a French military court for treason. De Gaulle went to England, where he began to encourage the French to continue fighting the Germans. In the same year, he became the French undersecretary of state for defense and war, but he left the government almost immediately when P étain became head of the government and indicated that he wanted an armistice with the Germans. In 1940 he was promoted to brigadier general, a position he held until his death. When World War II (1939-1945) began, de Gaulle was commander of a tank brigade. Although the French prided themselves on what they saw as the impenetrable Maginot Line, in 1933 de Gaulle wrote an article arguing for a professionalized and armored French army. Two years later de Gaulle began serving as a major in the occupation army for the Rhineland, an experience that illustrated the German potential for military action. In 1925 Marshal Philippe P étain (1856-1951) promoted him to the staff of the Supreme Defense Council. After the war, he taught at his alma mater and also attended the École Sup érieure de Guerre (a war college). He fought in World War I (1914-1918), including at the famous 1916 battle at Verdun, and he spent almost three years as a prisoner of war. He entered the Military Academy of Saint-Cyr at the age of nineteen and then joined the military in 1913, commissioned as a lieutenant. As a military commander, he advocated an aggressive, tactical approach to warfare as a politician, he was often careful in internal matters but more outspoken in international affairs.ĭe Gaulle was raised in a Roman Catholic family, and at an early age he showed an interest in military affairs. His military career spanned both world wars and his political career, interrupted by a temporary retreat from public affairs in the 1950s, occurred during the hardships of the 1940s and then a number of serious challenges to political stability in the 1960s. Charles de Gaulle was the leading French statesman of the twentieth century. ![]() A car mechanic in a garage, an office worker in a cubicle, a store cashier, a cook in a restaurant. ![]() You have the choice between a few jobs to take or try. It also makes for very easy to comprehend controls. ![]() This because you do not 'move' through any environment, so motion sickness is not really any problem. I mostly use this as a VR initiation for first time vr players or for young players. If you're looking for a playful and immersive VR experience that'll keep you entertained and laughing, clocking in for some zany "jobs" in Job Simulator is well worth the experience. While its short playtime and occasional control issues are minor setbacks, the overall enjoyment and amusement that Job Simulator offers more than make up for them. Its whimsical scenarios, interactive environments, and humor make it a standout title in the VR landscape. In conclusion, Job Simulator is a charming and innovative VR experience that turns the concept of work on its head, transforming it into a source of lighthearted fun and creativity. Each job can be completed in a matter of hours, and while replayability comes from the joy of experimentation, some players might find themselves craving more content and depth.Īdditionally, the controls and interactions, while intuitive for the most part, can occasionally feel a bit finicky, leading to moments of frustration when trying to manipulate objects precisely. However, Job Simulator's major drawback is its relatively short playtime. From the amusing dialogue to the hilarious customer requests, the game consistently delivers laughs. The quirky robot characters and the humorous situations they create keep the gameplay light-hearted and entertaining. The game's humor is a standout feature, infused into every interaction and scenario. This freedom to play around and discover unexpected outcomes is where Job Simulator truly shines. Feel like serving up a dish with every ingredient you can find? The choice is yours. Want to throw office supplies around like confetti? Go ahead. While each job has specific tasks to complete, the game encourages creative experimentation. The heart of Job Simulator's appeal lies in its sandbox-style gameplay. The VR aspect enhances the experience by allowing you to physically reach out and interact with the virtual world, adding a layer of immersion that traditional gaming can't replicate. The various environments are detailed and full of interactive objects, inviting you to explore and experiment. The visuals are cartoonish and vibrant, perfectly suited to the whimsical nature of the game. The game's charm lies in its ability to take the mundane aspects of these jobs and turn them into entertaining and often absurd activities. In a futuristic setting where robots have taken over the tasks of everyday life, players get to relive the hilariously exaggerated "jobs" of the past, such as office work, gourmet chef, auto mechanic, and convenience store clerk. The game's premise is simple yet brilliantly executed. As a fan of VR and lighthearted gameplay, I eagerly dove into this comical simulation. Job Simulator is a delightful virtual reality experience that turns the mundane into the extraordinary, inviting players to embark on a quirky journey through a world where robots attempt to mimic the jobs of humans from the past. A Playful and Whimsical Romp: Exploring the Wacky World of Job Simulator Tunnelbear’s logging does not include things like IP addresses or the sites you visit, but it does collect operational data, such as what operating system you’re using. As with most “no logging” claims, there is usually a bit of a grey area. If you’re wondering whether TunnelBear keeps logs, the answer is a bit complicated. Technically, you don’t even need to give Windscribe an email address to get an account. Windscribe collects a very minimal amount of user information, which is limited to connection timestamps that are destroyed when you disconnect and data volume information that is kept for 30 days. However, the most crucial thing to look for in VPN privacy policies is what kind of information is being logged. Following industry standards, Windsribe pairs the chosen protocol with AES-256 encryption.īoth TunnelBear and Windscribe have privacy policies that prioritize transparency and show an encouraging level of respect for the user. ![]() However, this is not the default setting, with IKEv2 being the chosen protocol out of the box. Windscribe offers users a small number of protocol options, one of which is OpenVPN. This is a great encryption and offers excellent security, which you can read about in our description of encryption. Both of these protocols are paired with AES-256 encryption regardless of what kind of device you’re using. The exception to this is iOS users, who will be tunneling with IPSec instead.īoth of these are strong protocols, with OpenVPN being slightly preferred. There are really no options when it comes to security, with TunnelBear using OpenVPN as the protocol on most devices. Looking at TunnelBear’s security and privacy, there’s not much to say. Windscribe gives you access to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as well as Hulu, which earned Windscribe a spot in our best VPN for Hulu article.Īlthough the free servers can no longer get through to Netflix, Windscribe’s paid servers still do a good job of working through VPN denial measures and accessing geoblocked content. That said, the paid servers still work just fine. We were not able to reach content on any site - including Netflix and BBC iPlayer - with the free servers. When we tested this again, however, it seems to no longer be the case. In those articles, we mention that the free servers can get through to these sites. Windscribe, on the other hand, has appeared in quite a few of our “best of” articles for streaming, such as the best VPN for Netflix and best VPN for Amazon Prime Video. Hulu, Amazon and BBC iPlayer all detected the VPN and told us we had to turn it off to watch anything. On TunnelBear’s network, the only geoblocked website we were able to watch anything on was Netflix. Streaming is a cut-and-dry topic when it comes to these two VPN services. However, TunnelBear saw objectively better overall speeds and offers a more reliable performance worldwide. If you exclusively connect to the U.S., you might see better performance with Windscribe. The significance of this prioritization depends on your VPN use. network infrastructure, allowing it to provide better performance there specifically while potentially leaving other locations in the dust, as we see with the UK. It seems that Windscribe has potentially emphasized the importance of its U.S. Even the slowest servers on both networks - such as Hong Kong and the UK - were able to quickly play 1080p videos and felt reasonably responsive.ĭespite reaching nearly twice the speed of TunnelBear in the U.S., Windscribe loses this round for its poor performance in every other location.
