Game Informations: Developer: Telltale Games Production: Telltale Games Distribution: Xbox Live Format: Download Texts: Spanish Voices: English Online: Bookmarks Release date: 06/25/2020 We have to admit that after having played the third chapter of Batman: The Telltale Series, it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to understand the problems that its developers are having to make this episodic game a memorable experience worthy of the Dark Knight. By "logic", the combination of the narrative talent that Telltale has shown to have when it comes to creating good stories, building charismatic characters and writing great dialogue, with the enormous potential that such an iconic hero has and with as many possibilities as Batman, should result in something unique and at the height of the Bat Man, but the sad reality is that having already passed the halfway point of the season, things do not seem to be getting better. As you can imagine, the "gameplay" is the same as always, that is, see how the story progresses through videos while we make decisions and choose our dialogue options. Obviously, the action scenes are developed again by means of anodyne QTE in which we have to press the buttons that are indicated to us, sequences that despite being well choreographed and being very showy in their approach do not contribute anything at the playable level or offer a challenge. any. Therefore, the script remains the main axis that underpins the entire appeal of the game. However, New World Order maintains the slow pace seen in its predecessors. Throughout the scarce hour and a quarter that it lasts we will see how the plot barely progresses until the final minute, at which time there is a surprising and unexpected plot twist (by far, the best of the chapter) that will leave us with a lot of desire to know what is going to happen next, as it poses a very promising new scenario for the remainder of the season. The rest of the episode is simply limited to putting good old Bruce Wayne in a delicate and frustrating situation, to delve into the relationship between him and Catwoman, and to show us the beginning of Harvey's descent into madness (somewhat accelerated in our opinion). Dent to turn him into the villain we all know he will end up being. As we say, only a moment in the middle of the episode and especially the end they advance the argument, so a little more rhythm is missed. In addition, the type of situations that we will see and the relationships that occur between the characters we have already seen many times in other stories of the Dark Knight, which takes away some interest. This probably wouldn't be such a problem (after all, the dialogues are very expertly written and easily enjoyed) if it weren't for Telltale's worrying tendency to make its projects less interactive every time. In this chapter we have reached a point where we have felt like mere spectators without voice or vote, since any decision we made always ended up having the same result as a consequence, removing any type of emotion and tension from supposedly important and decisive moments. . Do you want to hide so they don't see you? Anyway, a cat will appear and reveal your position. Do you decide to go against an order that someone gives you? Relax, because something will happen right next so that it does not have any kind of importance. This is the trend throughout the episode, so in the end we will end up choosing our responses mechanically and without worrying too much about the possible and non-existent consequences (hopefully, perhaps in the two remaining episodes we will notice their impact, although we doubt) that our choices may entail. It is a real shame, since because of this the title has a really bad time when it comes to getting involved in its history, feeling more like a movie and less game than ever. Yes, the previous Telltale games were also somewhat tricky in this sense, but they managed to create that false feeling of being the protagonists and they knew how to put us between our back and the wall so that we suffered each and every one of our decisions with a series of answers which used to consist of opting for the option that we considered "least bad". What we did like a lot is to re-enjoy the multitude of winks and references that are made to the character's comics, giving new explanations to things we thought we knew, introducing the occasional classic character and telling us little details such as the origin of the Batseñal. We will see first-hand what this new and mysterious villain is capable of in one of the best action scenes of the game. Graphically, there is not much more to add to what we already told you in the analysis that we dedicated to its first two episodes: bad animations that tarnish the moments of action (although these leave us a couple of images in particular that are pure Batman), tremendously basic modeling, highly improvable textures, and uneven performance. The positive part is put back in its artistic section, very successful and with very good and recognizable designs. Finally, from the sound, to say that the soundtrack is once again purely environmental (in fact, many songs that we could hear in its predecessors are reused) and it adapts very well to what we see on the screen, although it still lacks a bit more variety . The effects are simply correct and the English dubbing is, to say the least, outstanding, thanks to its performances of unquestionable quality. The texts are kept in Spanish with that strange mixture between the names of the Latin and Spanish versions. Conclusions Batman: The Telltale Series Episode 3 - New World Order leaves us with a great final twist with which we are presented with a new and very interesting scenario for the last two chapters, but that beyond that does not contribute much to the general plot, with a very slow development and in which almost nothing happens. In addition, the decisions we have to make are purely anecdotal, reducing our role to that of mere spectators and removing much of the excitement and appeal that Telltale titles often display. Luckily, the fourth episode promises to be really exciting judging by how little we have been able to see in the brief preview that has been included before the credits, so we only have to cross our fingers and activate the Batsignal for the Bat Man to return. coming with more force than ever.

Birds Venezuela Icterus icterus Venezuelan turpial Icterus icterus map.svg The Venezuelan turpial or troupial (Icterus icterus) is a bird belonging to the ichteridae family, native to the American continent. Small in appearance, measuring between 15 and 22 cm, it has a black head and wings and the rest of its body is yellow. They can live alone or as a couple and their melodious singing (? · I) is very peculiar. It is the national bird of Venezuela, thus being chosen in a contest sponsored by the Venezuelan Society of Natural Sciences and officially declared on May 23, 1958. Description This beautiful bird has black plumage on the head and upper chest, while the rest of the body is dark yellow turning orange. The wings are completely black with the exception of a white stripe that runs along each wing when they are closed. The eyes are yellow with a light blue skin outline. Its beak is conical, sharpened and compressed, being one of the most beautiful songbirds in Venezuela. Subspecies Two subspecies of this bird are known (I. i. Metae and I. i. Ridgwayi) while there is still scientific controversy about two other possible subspecies (I. i. Croconotus and I. i. Jamacaii). The specimens of I. i. metae have a higher proportion of yellow plumage on the back and the white stripe on the wings is divided into two sections. The specimens of I. i. ridgwayi are generally stronger and therefore make up the majority of the po[CENSORED]tion of this bird in proportion to the other subspecies. Habitat The turpial is found throughout Panama and the entire north and central zone of South America and is particularly common in the eastern Colombian plains, as well as in practically the entire territory of Venezuela. The Venezuelan turpial frequents warm and not very rainy areas such as the savannah and gallery jungle, where they find abundant essential food for their diet, characterized by insects, fruit, eggs of other birds and eventually other smaller birds. Their varied and melodious song is heard at dawn and is highly appreciated in homes. You can live alone or as a couple. Breeding The mating period takes place between the months of March and September. The Venezuelan turpial does not build nests to incubate its eggs. Instead, they invade abandoned nests, although it is also common for them to take possession of the nest by force, aggressively expelling its occupants. Once it finds a place to live and feed its young, the turpial fiercely defends its territory, so that it can eat the eggs or even the young of other birds that dare to try to occupy its home. In each laying, the turpial lays 3 to 4 eggs, which hatch after two weeks of incubation.

Finally, the second generation of the Audi Q3 is in our country, a model of great importance for the firm in our market, since it generates a very interesting volume. If you were wondering the causes of the delay in the recent Audi launches, this is due to the new approval process that came into force, the brand could previously request the manufacturing of the units from the plant and approve the products at the same time, now it is not thus, no car is manufactured if the plant does not have the homologation documents first and this change has greatly impacted the speed with which Audi can bring its new launches. However, the above is only part of the movie, since the fall of the premium segment last year was 11%, going from 67,670 units in 2019 to 60,248 in 2019. That is, the luxury market fell more than the volume, economic uncertainty and insecurity that prevails throughout the country are the main causes. But returning to what concerns us today, the new Audi Q3 2020, arrives with two engines, surprisingly the new 1.5-liter turbo that is already available in the new Audi A1 2020 is not among the options. The reason, again the issue of homologations, waiting for that engine would have delayed even more the launch of a strategic product for Audi in our country, so at the bottom we have the Q3 35 TFSI with the old known four-cylinder 1.4T 150 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque associated with a six-speed dual-clutch S-Tronic transmission that sends power to the front end. While at the top is the Q3 40 TFSI that uses a 2.0 turbo with 180 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque associated with a transmission also S-Tronic with double clutch but with seven gears that sends the power to all four wheels. By adopting the MQB platform, the new Audi Q3 2020 grows in dimensions, it is 96 mm longer, 77 mm larger in terms of wheelbase. The measurements are as follows: 4,484 mm long, 1,849 mm wide and 1,856 mm high. For its part, the wheelbase is 2,680 mm. The gain does not seem to be very great, but thanks to a better use of the interior space, the rear bench is much wider than before, without considering that it can be traveled up to 150 mm, either to leave more space for the legs of the riders. rear occupants or gain cargo space. Since we are talking about the trunk, the capacity is 525 liters that can grow to 625 when the bench is moved as far forward as possible, while, when folding the backrest of the rear seats, the space increases to 1,525 liters. Inside doors, a very ad hoc cabin welcomes us with what the brand has presented in recent times, straight lines and a marked prominence for the central infotainment screen that for our market is 8.8 inches and has both Android Auto like Apple Carplay, while the standard virtual cockpit is 10.25 ", although optionally you can choose the 12.3". As always, both the quality of the assembly and the finishes have no complaints, and we even found some inserts in alcantara (they can be brown, gray or orange) that both on the board and doors that give it a very pleasant appearance and touch, at the same time. that prevent abuse of piano black surfaces. As for the equipment, obviously there are changes depending on the version, but we find two-zone automatic climate control with air outlets for the rear passengers, induction charger, panoramic roof, as well as access and start by smart key as the most prominent elements. In this first contact in Mexico, only the Q3 35 TFSI was available, that is, with 1.4-liter mechanics, to know how the 2.0-liter variant performs we will have to wait until May, when Audi launches the new Q3 Sportback, and that, for the effects of actions with press, they will be those that are available with the most powerful motor. There are no surprises here, this powertrain is already an old acquaintance and we have tested it in different applications, both Audi, SEAT or Volkswagen. Although it is a somewhat veteran mechanical assembly, the response capacity is good and except for the already known turbolag that the 1.4 turbo has, the operation, especially in the mid-range of revolutions, is excellent. Audi chose the route from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta so that we would have the opportunity to thoroughly test its new Q3 2020, the first section, as you probably know, is of highways, where we were able to verify once again that although the adjustment of the Suspension is more oriented to comfort, it is perfectly capable of controlling the vehicle at very high speeds, the Q3 is very well planted and transmits a lot of confidence. The steering also provides adequate feedback and in general the refinement is very good, particularly the acoustic insulation is outstanding. The steering also provides adequate feedback and in general the refinement is very good, particularly the acoustic insulation is outstanding. Already in the second part of the route, the trucks and traffic lights can make you forget that the road offers some quite complex sections of curves and that in a car with good credentials, they can be quite fun. The Audi Q3 proved that it is capable of entering winding roads with a lot of poise, the natural tendency is to understeer, but the limit is much higher than you would think in the first instance, and when it is presented, it is very easy to correct, it is enough release the accelerator a bit to fix it (within the limits of physics of course). Even when it comes to the front-wheel drive version, the grip is good and makes you forget that the center of gravity is higher. At the moment, the most frontal rival for the Q3 is undoubtedly the BMW X1, which has mechanical options of 1.5 liters or 2.0 liters turbo as well and the price range is similar. The new-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA is not yet available, although knowing the price positioning of the brand's latest launches, it is highly likely that the next GLA will be considerably more expensive than its competitors.

10 things people with Alzheimer's want you to know alzheimer Keep these things in mind if someone close to you has Alzheimer's Memory loss can be scary, but patience, confidence, and encouragement can help someone with this disease continue to live a meaningful life. One of the first things that comes to mind when you think of Alzheimer's is memory loss. But there is much more about this condition that healthcare providers, loved ones, and people who have just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's need to know. There are a number of important facts and misconceptions about the disease. Each stage of Alzheimer's disease is unique You can assume that someone with Alzheimer's cannot strike up a conversation, but that is not the case. "Those in the early stages have memory problems that make it easy to miss or forget conversations, while personality changes or agitation can appear during the intermediate stages," explains Mary Mittelman, director of Alzheimer's disease. and related dementias. When the last stage arrives, the patient may have difficulty dressing or eating. "The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease change over time," says Dr. Mittelman. Life is still pretty normal in the early stages "I lead a largely normal life, but there are specific areas where I rely on a calendar, an alarm clock or a smartphone," said Eric Thompson, advisor to the Alzheimer's Association Early Stage Advisory Group. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's about four years ago, he had to reprogram himself again and made some changes to his routine. For example, he finishes his daily chore checklist early in the morning so he doesn't forget them. However, Eric says that people are surprised at how well he remembers the conversations. Things are not forgotten on purpose It may bother you to have to repeat things to someone with Alzheimer's, but don't let your impatience get the better of you. Instead, simplify the way you say things so your words are more likely to be remembered. Reminding someone that your loved ones have died is terrible When someone with Alzheimer's asks about a deceased loved one, don't cause unnecessary distress by saying the person has passed away. Instead, offer to take the person for a walk to find them, says Jackie Pinkowitz, president of the Dementia Action Alliance. "You can't expect that person to go back to where you are, but you can be nice and be where they are," said Pinkowitz, who cared for his mother and her father-in-law, both with dementia. "Share the moment, but be willing to delve into his world a bit." Socializing is important Those with Alzheimer's should not be urged to stay home, especially in the early stages, when they only have mild cognitive impairment. In fact, it is good to spend time with friends and family. "Unfortunately, some family members just make them more incapacitated rather than empowering and encouraging them to participate," says Pinkowitz.

CNN) - US President Joe Biden reiterated that he intends to raise taxes for the wealthiest Americans. During an ABC News interview broadcast on Wednesday, the president spoke about his plans. "Anyone who makes more than $ 400,000 a year will have a tax increase, which will be small to significant," explained Biden. He also promised that people who earn less than $ 400,000 - that is, more than 90% of taxpayers - "will not pay an extra penny in federal taxes." Biden says Putin will "pay a price" for Russia's efforts to undermine the 2020 US elections. The president said Republicans' criticism of his $ 1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill stems from tax breaks from his plan going to the lowest 60% of the po[CENSORED]tion. While the "idea" of the Republicans "of a tax cut is to grant the Trump tax cut in which 83% went to the top 1% of the US po[CENSORED]tion," he argued. Biden acknowledged that he may not get any Republican support for a tax increase, but said he will "get Democratic votes." He then added that he believes that the Senate's obstructionist tactics should return to those that are "dialogued." But, he did not say that he wants the 60-vote threshold removed to end debate on the bills. Something that could make a tax increase without Republican votes unlikely. “If we go back to the tax rate from when (George W.) Bush was president, the top rate paid 39.6% in federal taxes. That would raise $ 230 billion. However, are they complaining because I am handing out a child care tax benefit? For the poor? For the middle class? ”Biden added. The Difference in Tax Discounts with Trump and Biden 2:00 The president presented several proposals during his presidential campaign that would increase taxes for the wealthy and corporations, by reversing some of the tax cuts that Trump enacted in 2017. On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden believes that "those at the top are not doing their part." And "obviously corporations could be paying higher taxes," she added. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen suggested Sunday that a tax hike would be on the horizon, when she said she expects the White House to come up with proposals to control deficits. What you need to know about the new child tax credit stimulus “(Biden) has not proposed a wealth tax. But, he has proposed that corporations and wealthy people pay more to meet the needs of the economy, the spending that we have to do. And, over time, I hope we come up with proposals to control deficits, "Yellen told ABC. The president had also proposed changing the way 401 (k) retirement savings accounts are treated in the tax code. This in order to give low-income people a greater upfront tax exemption.

Although it is not usually a problem that an application has access to the internet, and we are usually interested in having it, especially in the case of online games or browsers, among other programs, sometimes there are also occasions when we want to block access to internet of a specific application. This can be due to several reasons, for example, to avoid the automatic update of an application that does not need internet access for its correct operation, to heal us in health and have greater control over what the application can do out, or even when We use programs obtained in less legal ways, where it is not surprising that we need the application not to be able to connect to the internet to continue working. In any case, in this guide we will show you how to block internet access for a specific application in Windows 10, so that we can be sure that it cannot communicate from or to the outside. Locate the desired program to block Internet access One of the first things that we will have to do is locate the executable of the program to which we want to block access to the internet, and that is that, although we might think that direct access is sufficient, there are cases in which updates to a program are managed by a separate executable, so we will have to take a quick look in the program folder to verify this. In this case, where we have a shortcut on the desktop, we will right-click on the icon and click on Properties, where a window will open with the properties of the shortcut. Once there, we will click on Open location, and it will take us directly to the folder that houses the executable. Geeknetic How to block the internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 1 As we can see, it is a simple application that does not have multiple executables, so we can be sure that blocking the main executable will be enough. In the case of programs that have a separate service, we will probably find names that end in "update" or similar, so that if we find multiple executables, we can search for information online to determine which files we want to block. . In any case, we will not close the window, as we will need it later. How to access and navigate Windows Firewall Now we will proceed to access the Windows Firewall, something that we can do in several ways, as we will see below. The simplest thing is to open the start menu and write Windows Defender Firewall, where the option that will appear selected is the one that interests us despite having a longer name. We can also choose to look for the Windows Firewall in the control panel, and once inside, look for the advanced settings, something that will take us to exactly the same place. Geeknetic How to block the internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 2 Finally, we can also make use of the Windows execution window, because by pressing the Windows + R key combination and typing "wf.msc" in the window that will appear, it will allow us to quickly access the Windows Firewall configuration . In any case, we are already in the advanced configuration window of the Windows Firewall, something that may seem somewhat intimidating at first, but it is really simple to use. Block internet access for an application in Windows firewall At this point is when we can begin to block the internet access of our application, something that we will do by applying inbound rules and outbound rules. Geeknetic How to block internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 3 The first field will be that of entry rules, and as we click we will see how there are a good number of applications that we will be able to recognize having allowed their access to the internet over time, something typical when we start a game or program for the first time and we request internet access through Windows Firewall. To create a rule, we will click on the “New rule…” button in the Actions menu on the right side, and we will select the “Program” option among the options that are given to us, where by clicking Next we will be asked for the application path . Geeknetic How to block internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 4 This is where we can return to the folder where the application is located, where we can see the properties of the program to copy the path where it is located and the name of the application, as we see in the example screenshot.

Virtual machines usually have limited support for the hardware of the system in which they are running, this is a problem for those who work in a mixed environment between Windows and GNU / Linux where the main Operating System is the first and the second runs on one. virtual machine. Well, NVIDIA on its latest GPU has just activated virtualization on its GeForce graphics cards. Within the world of applications for Linux there are a large number of scientific applications that make use of the unique functions of the GPUs, but we do not usually have access to it if we run a virtual one, unless we are combining a dedicated graphics card with a integrated. What is virtualization on a GPU? GPU virtualization The command processors of a GPU can normally only execute a list of graphical commands to display the next frame on the screen, which is a problem under two conditions. The first is when we have mounted a server in the cloud and we have several clients to whom we must grant a graphical interface in real time to each of them, the second is when we run one or more virtual machines on an operating system. Virtualization requires the use of a custom command processor for this, there are systems such as Microsoft's Xbox One that run two environments at the same time, the game environment and the console menus, it uses two command processors at the same time. weather. In other cases, special versions of the GPUs are created with the modified command processor, especially with support for SR-IOV, but it must be taken into account that these GPUs are not sold for desktop PCs. That is why support for virtualization on desktop GPUs is something that is appreciated, especially if you have a system that lacks an integrated GPU and you cannot assign a second GPU to the virtual machine, having to run an emulated VGA. Limited virtualization on NVIDIA GeForce GPUs NVIDIA virtualization Starting with the R465 driver, the following GeForce series GPUs support virtualization: Desktop: Kepler (GTX 700 and GTX 800), Maxwell (GTX 900), Pascal (GTX 1000), Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600) and Ampere (RTX 3000). Laptops: Maxwell (GTX 800M and GTX 900 M), Pascal (GTX 1000M), Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600) and Ampere (RTX 3000). However, since it is not a hardware implementation but through the controller, we are limited to a virtual machine and the SR-IOV is not active. so if you want to have virtualization for several virtual machines you will have to acquire a card from the professional range of NVIDIA such as the RTX Enterprise, Tesla or Quadro. So if when you started reading the news you were planning to create a server in the cloud with GeForce graphics cards, forget about it, since this NVIDIA solution through its drivers is limited. In any case, given NVIDIA's tendency to unify its architectures in a single design along with the growth of Cloud Gaming, especially if we take into account its GeForce Now, which helps NVIDIA to reposition its unsold graphics cards for Cloud Gaming.

A judicial embargo measure was executed this Friday on the headquarters of the newspaper El Nacional, located in Caracas. After a long judicial process that lasted for six years, the deputy Diosdado Cabello, number two of Chavismo, took over the building where one of the main print media in the country operated, with 77 years of history, also one of the most critical of the government for the past two decades. The measure ended up being dictated by the Supreme Court of Justice, which established a month ago that El Nacional had to pay the "moral damages" suffered by Cabello, as a result of the dissemination that it made of reports published in The Wall Street Journal and ABC of Spain in which it was revealed that he was being investigated by US prosecutors for alleged links to drug trafficking. The sentence ordered compensation for 13.2 million dollars, which the media refused to pay and the seizure was carried out. This is the latest blow by Chavismo to a systematic strangulation of the independent press in Venezuela. Since 2018, El Nacional had suppressed its printed edition due to the obstacles that since Hugo Chávez's time have been placed on the purchase of paper by private media. From being a company of almost a thousand employees a little more than a decade ago, with several brands of newspapers and magazines and a publishing house, there were only a few dozen workers left on the premises who feed the newspaper's web portal in a desolate and ghostly newsroom. Included in the lawsuit are the daily Tal Cual - now converted into just a website - and the La Patilla portal, which published, like many other international media and agencies, the information from the US newspaper, whom Cabello also tried to sue without success. Only with El Nacional has this outcome occurred, which adds to the exile in which its editor-in-chief, Miguel Henrique Otero, has lived for five years to evade criminal prosecution for the same cause. At the end of Friday afternoon, a group of military officials and a judge placed the embargo sign on the door of the building, while Cabello himself published the document on his Twitter account. “I report that in the afternoon, the competent courts, within the process of my claim to El Nacional, have carried out the measures of posting posters and notification of executive embargo and the process of payment of compensation has begun. We will win, ”he wrote in a tweet. Cabello turned this lawsuit into political revenge. For years he has been threatening his plans to keep the building, where he assures that he will install "the University of Communication." This blow to the press touches the political sphere at a time when opposition factors and the government of Nicolás Maduro agreed to initiate a new process of negotiations, with international mediation, to seek a way out of the prolonged institutional crisis in Venezuela, which would include a progressive lifting of sanctions conditional on the democratization of the country. In this context, Otero responded to what happened: “It is proven that the owner of Venezuela is Diosdado Cabello. Those who negotiate conditions in the country are negotiating with the wrong person, because the one in charge is Diosdado, "he said in an interview with the Colombian channel NTN24. In addition, the editor denounced the defects of the procedure. “Due process has not been followed. It is an outrage that we must denounce to the whole world. They want to eliminate us, close us down, that we disappear from the map ”. A month ago when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of compensation for Cabello, Otero had indicated that if the facilities were seized, they would continue to report through his website. Between 2013 and 2018, 115 media outlets in Venezuela closed: 41 printed, 65 radio stations and 8 television stations, according to data from the National Press Union. Other organizations such as the Press and Society Institute have warned that at least 10 states out of the 24 countries were left without newspapers. In a recent investigation they determined that at least 5 million Venezuelans live in informational deserts, regions without sufficient means to inform their po[CENSORED]tion. The harassment of the exercise of journalism has worsened with blockades and attacks on digital portals such as El Pitazo, Runrunes and Armando.info and with the arbitrary arrests of 66 journalists and media workers in 2020, during the state of alarm due to the pandemic. The takeover of the complex where El Nacional operated, which has a large area of workshops with the huge press that was on until three years ago, has been condemned by various sectors of civil society, culture, academia and politics. Juan Guaidó gave his support to the media in several messages on his social networks: “The censorship was not enough, denying the role, the purchase of media by front men, the persecution of journalists and their managers. Using a kidnapped justice, the regime seizes the headquarters of a medium that has been reporting the truth for more than 77 years ”.

Once we have sat down in front of the desktop PC or laptop and start it up, in most cases we will find Windows 10. This is the most common and used operating system, but it is not the only one. We could also see an older version of Windows, or one of the many Linux distributions out there. Admittedly, Linux has improved a lot in recent years, at least it has become more affordable for most users. However, it still does not have the acceptance that perhaps your community would like. On the other hand we find Microsoft Windows that does not stop growing over the years. But this does not mean that it is an operating system neither better nor worse than open source. What do exist are important differences between the two proposals. It is for all this that in these same lines we will talk about some of the things that perhaps should change or improve in these distributions. All this with the healthy objective that a greater number of users finally opt for its daily use. Greater support of official drivers in Linux Keep in mind that in the beginning, a good part of the Linux kernel is made up of the long-awaited drivers. These are the small pieces of software that keep the operating system from having communication problems with the components that are part of the computer. This is something that over the years, Linux distros have gradually surpassed and improved. However, what perhaps many could be missing in certain cases is a greater availability of official drivers for their components. So they could get more out of these, as in Windows. Fewer hardware incompatibilities In addition, all this, in parallel, would mean that Linux would have fewer hardware compatibility errors with some elements of the equipment. It is true that this is also a section that has gradually improved substantially. This is something that becomes especially clear if we compare the current situation regarding hardware compatibility in Linux, with that of more than a decade ago, for example. More compatible games Another of the sections that would probably attract a lot of attention from countless users around the world, is an increase in compatibility with games. More if we take into account that the use of juices on the PC platform does not stop growing more and more. However, in this sense Windows at the moment has a lot of advantage over Linux, which is an unfavorable point. linux games vs windows games Have more professional programs like Photoshop As with the gaming world, there are certain big-name applications that are also missing from Linux distros. This is something that is even more lacking when we refer to certain more professional titles as in the case of Adobe Photoshop, for example. It is precisely for this reason that some are forced to continue working with Windows. More support for Linux from PC manufacturers And of course no one can deny that a somewhat greater support of the major PC manufacturers for Linux would not hurt. Most of the desktops and laptops that we buy come by default with Windows 10 pre-installed, which generates a clear market trend towards that system. If the tables turned a bit in this regard, the Linux community would surely appreciate it.

Since the Dennard scaling broke in the mid-2000s that the advancement in CPUs stopped being based on clock speed to be based on multicore designs and generation after generation we have seen how the number of cores has evolved, but , Is there an ideal in the number of processors? First of all we must clarify that this article is not about what physically limits the number of cores of a processor, but about whether there is a configuration that, regardless of this limit, which could be the ideal and therefore with which the designers and chipmakers are more comfortable. Is 8 the ideal number of large nuclei? CPU Reverse Render One of the changes that we are going to see is the adoption of heterogeneous configurations in PC CPUs, something that we know in the face of the Intel Alder Lake architecture and that is rumored for future processors from AMD. Which means that the number of cores will be increased, but cores of the same complexity will not be added, but much simpler. There are two reasons why these little cores can be added. On the one hand, they take care of the simplest instructions, for which the more complex CPU cores do not have an advantage in speed, but they do have a disadvantage in the energy consumption of each instruction. On the other hand, there are execution threads or processes of the different programs that are sent to one type of kernel or another. The adoption of this strategy in the future by Intel and AMD hides a clear message, the fact that we will not see a leap beyond 8 cores as the standard size of CPUs for PCs. It is clear that it will be possible to buy configurations with a greater number of cores, we have the case of the future Intel Alder Lake where the measurement of "large" cores is 8. Small versus multi-threaded cores big.LITTLE Diagram Multithreading in any type of processor is based on using the dead times or the execution bubbles of a processor to execute a completely independent thread of the first one. Just because an x-core CPU runs 2x threads doesn't mean it runs twice as fast. Multi-threaded CPUs are seen as additional cores in the eyes of the operating system. It would be physically possible to increase the number of threads of execution of a CPU core, but these depend on the bubbles created by the previous threads of execution. That is why it is much more efficient to add more cores of lower power than to increase the number of threads. As the number of small cores may increase in the coming years, it is not for nothing that operating systems and programs today are composed not of a single thread of execution, but of dozens of smaller ones that can be executed. easily in those little cores. Which are going to grow more and more.

Game Informations : Developer: AYAX BELLIDO Plataforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch y PC Initial release date: FEBRUARY 23, 2021, At 3:32pm PDT To begin with, I am one of those people who are not very resistant to the horror genre. I always go trembling and heartbroken before those works that are conceptualized in advance to scare people, and that incidentally, confront them with fears that have been unresolved along the way. Therefore, I can say that Little Nightmares II, a game developed by Bandai Namco and available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC, is a title that I suffered from beginning to end, but that paradoxically I greatly enjoyed due to a narrative that keeps you captive, above all, to the feelings of horror that the user is experiencing and which are woven through a very well implemented gameplay. And it is that Little Nightmares II is in my opinion, a work that has perfectly understood that shocks, blood and excessive violence are not necessary to create scenarios and narratives that cause shivers. All it takes is haunting atmospheres and a constant sense of vulnerability to experience the dread of living in a nightmare. Childhood nightmares Before continuing, it should be clarified that a server has not had the possibility to play the first installment of this saga. Little Nightmares II has been my first approach to the franchise, and without a doubt, it has become one of the video games that has made me the most tense in recent years. Here, we will play as a little boy named Monkey, who will try to make his way through a huge and dark world full of monsters represented by adults. In this sense, Little Nightmares II opts for the use of the childhood nightmare to make us feel afraid: the characters from whom we must flee are a terrifying school teacher, a ruthless doctor, or a strange man with long arms and a lanky figure who comes out of the television with every intention of ending us. Each one of them could well be a protagonist drawn from the deepest and darkest dreams of our childhood and, of course, they are contextualized in immense scenarios that make the sensation of terror grow, like an old and abandoned academy where students do not They will be your friends, or a doctor's office full of scary patients. All you want is to escape the place as soon as possible. review little nightmares II bandai namco Image: Bandai Namco The nightmare becomes even deeper when feeling helpless accompanies you through each of the corners, because in order to avoid our adversaries and the frightening final bosses we will only have a couple of basic mechanics at our fingertips: run and hide. It is a childish nightmare with overwhelming spaces and perspectives, and with repulsive creatures that perhaps we have all feared at some point in our lives. I mean, who didn't have nightmares about their school teacher or the doctor who, dressed in strange gadgets, was about to check on you? The imagination and the unconscious sometimes follow very mysterious paths. Run and don't look back Little Nightmares II is a 2.5D platformer, so as usual in genre titles, the game mechanics will be based on exploration and puzzle solving. In that sense, at first glance all the levels of the game seem very similar, and as such they are played under the same dynamics, however, the developers have managed enough to print some elements that give the player certain variations. review little nightmares II bandai namco Image: Bandai Namco In essence it is a chase game, but it would be unfair and simplistic to just reduce it to this as it would mean ignoring aspects that challenge the ingenuity of the players such as the different puzzles that will be presented to us, and in which we will have to show off our intuition and deduction to achieve progress without falling into the immense darkness through stairs, beams or ventilation ducts. In that sense, Little Nightmares II seeks to squeeze every last drop of creativity in each of its scenarios, achieving more than acceptable results in most of them if we take into account the basic purpose of the game. Although the main dynamics are running and jumping through the different platforms until the level is exceeded, there is also a grip mechanic that we will use constantly throughout the game. We can execute this element individually or with the help of Six, partner and protagonist of the first video game, who will give us a hand when passing certain tests, completing certain puzzles or giving us some clues about the level when we are stuck. Also, we should add that protecting Six is basically the plot that drives much of the game's narrative. During one facet of the game, a small flashlight will also be included in the character, which works to ward off certain dark entities that seek to attack you. The light will make these beings stop, in a dynamic that reminded me of Alan Wake. Also the televisions turned on will be part of the mechanics of the game in some levels, since they will allow you to transport yourself from one point to another, and you will have to find the most ingenious way to use them to advance. On the other hand, aesthetics play a key role in enhancing the chill and terror that is inherent in the title, creating a sense of anguish and doubt in every step you take. Practically all the scenarios are distinguished by a grayish-blue tone with very little lighting, which makes shadow play a constant during each of the tours that we must do. In that regard, we can also say that the art design is terrifying enough with each of the characters that we see on screen, and that particularly the final bosses have been conceptualized in a neat and terrifying way, therefore, for no time will it pass. for your head to face them, you will only want to run and not look back until you find a way out. In the world of nightmares Little Nightmares II is a game that takes advantage of open spaces, and there will be occasions when we can explore the back of the stage in search of a collectible (such as the different hats that the protagonist can use) or an Easter egg that is kept hidden Between shadows. The latter are not many, but at least they are enough to add an extra interest in the game. Of course, it is an exploration delimited by the camera and by the walls of the stage itself, because at some point you will collide with an invisible wall or find a bottomless hole. However, this little freedom and concession in exploration makes Little Nightmares II's levels feel more like real places than simple lines of passage; and therefore, the video game universe feels more alive and immersive. Puzzles also make the most of space, but in the opposite direction. In other words, if exploration makes scenarios appear larger, puzzles will often need to be solved in small spaces, which makes it much easier to search each corner to find that hidden key or secret lever we need. The result is that the levels and puzzles do not become frustrating, because you know that the solution is hidden close to you, and that it only takes a little patience and intuition to find it. Where there will be frustration, regardless of whether they are large or small spaces, is in the combat system implemented for the game. If you ever have to struggle to get out of a difficult situation, prepare to feel desperation on great levels, because all the weapons you can find are too big for you. This results in a slow and totally predictable attack, as your little protagonist must drag the object with difficulty and lift it with great difficulty and then try to hit an enemy. This combat system is really very frustrating, but I don't dare to pigeonhole it as a completely negative element, as I understand that it is an aspect that aims to boost the feeling of anxiety that is trying to convey within the game. In addition, fortunately there are few situations in which you must fight directly, in addition, you can always find an ingenious way to do it. Where if I think a bit remains to be owed is in the audio design, as it is a section that had the mitigating factors to highlight more and better accompany the atmosphere and thick narrative of the game. The typical suspenseful melodies and the sound of a music box rumbling in the lonely nothingness are present, but not enough to make your skin crawl. Finally, to say that Little Nightmares II is a short game that simplifies each of its dynamics to make it feel fluid despite the inherent tension that exists in each of the levels, and in which it will take between 8 and 10 hours to finish it. We can say that Little Nightmares II is a simple game that does most things well: it has a brilliant character design, creates an eerie atmosphere, and the puzzles are very entertaining. Perhaps it falters in elements such as the combat system, the monotony that can be felt in some of its levels and the sound section that could give more, however, we are talking about a very well executed horror game that takes us to the shadows to face our fears. It is not a horror video game that seeks to make you scream or jump out of your seat, perhaps for many lapses it does not even have the goal of scaring you. Little Nightmares II only tries to take the idea of a bad dream to mix it with a clear and irrefutable idea: nobody likes to be chased by something bigger, nobody likes to feel helpless in the face of the immensity of our deepest nightmares. Here is a video about the game

At first glance it draws attention. His appearance from another age stands out from the rest of the fish and his long saw full of sharp teeth instills fear and keeps those who see him at bay. The sawfish inhabits the waters of the Pacific, the Caribbean and the main rivers of the northern zone of Costa Rica. They are active at night and sleep during the day, they can reach up to eight meters and feed very close to the bottom of the water on crabs, shrimp and other fish, in fact they use their saw to hit their prey. These animals are not very reproductive because they have to spend approximately 10 years to reach sexual maturity, their gestation periods are very long (more than nine months) and when they have young, between two and eight individuals are born. These specific characteristics of reproduction, added to fishing, the deterioration and destruction of its habitat and climate change have caused the distribution of the animal to be experiencing a reduction of more than 95%. This is why, with the intention of determining the current status of the species in Costa Rica, Jorge Valerio Vargas and Mario Espinoza Mendiola started a research project in 2016 to find out how it is distributed in Costa Rica and what its main threats are. "We were very concerned that this species would disappear in Costa Rica without anyone doing anything about it," said Espinoza. The study The objective that both researchers had was to try to talk to the po[CENSORED]tion so that they would give them as much information as possible about the sawfish. They mainly focused on fishermen, but also included other people in the community. This survey led them to travel for two years along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, as well as the main rivers in the northern part of the country. “We knew from historical reports that the species was distributed in all these environments. We asked the fishermen how much they knew about this fish, if they had caught it, when and where, if they had released it or if it had died, if they sold it, if they ate it, ”said Espinoza. Out of a total of 275 interviews conducted in 42 communities, they were able to confirm 206 encounters with the long-toothed sawfish (Pristis pristis) and only two with the small-toothed sawfish (Pristis pectinata). The data collected reveals that these individuals have experienced a substantial decrease, as the number of sightings or captures went from 89 historical records more than 20 years ago to 24 in the last five years. Many of the interviews gave them information about where the species was two or three decades ago and where it is now. This helped them rebuild the redistribution and begin to settle where the species is currently seen. “It filled us with hope to know that there are still many reports and that there are two 'hot' areas (Térraba-Sierpe National Wetland and in the north of the country in several of the large rivers that flow into the San Juan) in which we have to work with the community so that the species can last ”, added the researcher. The study was developed based on a total of 275 interviews carried out in 42 communities. ... The study was developed based on a total of 275 interviews carried out in 42 communities.

Two places, two problems Despite the fact that the Térraba-Sierpe National Wetland is located in a region of importance for tourism, the expansion of areas destined for monocultures is affecting the habitat of the sawfish. In the north the story is different. The problem of the fish is linked to the socioeconomic and bordering condition of the place. Many of the reports indicate that, due to harpoon fishing and by confusing it with real shad - commonly consumed by the inhabitants of the area - people kill it. Illegal trafficking in the mountains is also very present in the country. These parts are used as ornaments, trophies and, recently, it was discovered that the teeth of the saw are intended for the manufacture of spurs, which are used in illegal cockfights in several Latin American countries. What's next? Although the study by Valerio and Espinoza is recent (it was published in November 2019), since 2017 actions have been implemented to protect the species present in Costa Rica. At the end of this last year, several articles were approved in the Legislative Assembly to prohibit sea hunting and the capture of sawfish. In 2017, a social projection work was also started at the UCR that consists of educating, raising awareness and sensitizing the Costa Rican po[CENSORED]tion about the species, through urban advertising campaigns in the Greater Metropolitan Area. Likewise, trainings were carried out in schools and colleges in the areas where they have seen the sawfish. In addition, a phase of fishing expeditions began in Sierpe de Osa to be able to capture the species and study it better, mark it and measure it, which has not yet been achieved. Most of the catches and reports of sightings of the fish have been by local fishermen. The next steps that the researchers propose are to continue with the explorations, not only concentrated in Sierpe, but also in Corcovado, in the Osa peninsula, in the north and in Barra del Colorado, in the Caribbean, in order to “be able to carry the sawfish to people's houses ”. The idea is that there is a rapprochement between this animal and the communities in order to make the conservation message bigger and bigger. In 2019, a study called Global Sawfish Search (led by James Cook University, Australia) was started, which seeks to improve global conservation efforts targeting sawfish through the use of environmental DNA techniques. Through this methodology, it is about detecting the species through water samples that are analyzed to obtain small traces of DNA and thus be able to locate a species without the need to have seen an individual. Based on the interviews conducted, Valerio chose a series of sites and collected water samples. At the end of the previous year, he traveled to Australia to examine these water samples and identify if there are traces of the sawfish. The results of the environmental DNA study will be overlaid with the information collected in the interviews to definitively determine which are the most important areas where this species is found, and then organize expeditions to try to observe it. Everything that biologists have been doing during these years has been an initial phase to prepare a later stage that deserves much scientific evidence necessary for the conservation of sawfish.
