Ideally, using an older version of the app shouldn’t be a problem. Force stop the OneDrive app and open it again to see if it works fine. Step 3: Allow all the necessary permissions one by one. Step 1: Long-press on the OneDrive app icon and tap on the info icon from the menu. To check app permissions for the OneDrive app, follow the steps below. This can happen if you’ve recently updated the app or reset the app preferences on your phone. So, if it’s just a minor glitch that’s causing OneDrive to crash repeatedly, restarting your phone will take care of it.Īnother reason why OneDrive may crash or not work as intended is if the app doesn’t have the required permissions. ![]() Doing so terminates all the apps and services running on your phone and gives them a fresh start. Restarting your phone remains one of the most effective troubleshooting tips because it almost always works. To overrule this possibility, run a quick speed test on your phone or switch to a different internet connection to see if that improves the situation. Sometimes, the app may freeze or crash if the internet becomes unavailable in the middle of a task or if it’s too slow. Since OneDrive requires the internet to work, your first course of action is to verify the strength of your internet connection. ![]() If the OneDrive app keeps crashing or stopping on your Android phone, this guide has a few troubleshooting tips that should help you fix the issue. And while the service is available on all major platforms, sadly, its Android app hasn’t been the most reliable one of late. This makes the River 2 an excellent power station if you live in areas that deal with periodic power outages due to weather, or if you’d like some extra power out in the yard.Despite its competition, OneDrive remains the preferred cloud storage option for many Android users to store and sync data across various devices. ![]() That’s five times faster than other portable power stations, and it’s a huge improvement over previous EcoFlow models. It beats the industry standard for charging speeds, as it’s able to reach a full charge in only 60 minutes. Portable power stations like the Jackery Explorer 1000 and the Bluetti AC180 are the heavy hitters when it comes to name recognition, but the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station knows a thing or two about chipping in around the house. Why you should buy the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station This makes for a savings of $283 and free shipping is included. Together these are marked down to $305, while they would regularly cost $588. The EcoFlow River 2 portable power station is seeing a discount at Best Buy, and it’s bundled with a foldable 110-watt solar panel. Some backup power is a good thing to keep around the house, and today it’s a good way to save as well. There’s some impressive savings to pounce on if you’re in the market for some smart home deals. ![]() TikTok names its first recipients of the $1 billion Creator Fundĭiscord secures $150 million in funding, valued at over $2 billion So if you’re looking to redecorate, Houzz may be the place to start. This latest funding round is Houzz’s first since its last round in 2014, whereupon it raised $165 million in funding at a $2.3 billion valuation. Last year, we told you about the company’s new Visual Match tool, a deep learning-powered app for both iOS and Android that promises to make it “easy for people to discover and buy on Houzz the types of products and materials that inspire them in photos.” And with more than 11 million home photos on Houzz and six million products on their Marketplace, there’s more than enough to discover. Indeed, Houzz has some of these features as well. The real estate and housing industry has become something of a tech darling, with a number of companies like Laurel and Wolf leveraging technology to bring home decorating into the 21st century. It’s no wonder that companies like Houzz are doing particularly well these days. WhatsApp has 400 million users in India, but no fix for its fake news problemĪs of this month, Houzz claims to have 4o million monthly site visitors, and more than 1.5 million home professionals on the platform. They also have the advantage of centralizing a lot of your gear, so you can store long guns along with handguns, boxes of ammunition, and a variety of accessories. ![]() Larger safes generally weigh more and require a specific space in your home, but they’re perfect for storing long guns like rifles, ARs, and shotguns. These tend to be heavy and secure but can still be moved if necessary (and won’t require a second mortgage to pay for.). ![]() No two biometric gun safes are alike, but if you keep a few things in mind you’ll have a much easier time finding the perfect one for your needs.įor this guide, we didn’t look for massively expensive safes that would require professional installations, but rather midsize to smaller safes that accommodate long guns or pistols – and would fit in a closet, nightstand, or under a desk. The interior has built-in LED lights, three fully adjustable shelves, and you can program up to 32 fingerprints. It’s not light – tipping the scales at 48 pounds – but it’s heavy enough when housing guns and other items to prevent someone from walking off with it. In addition, you get a four-prong backup cross key and a pry-resistant design for even more security. It also uses a motorized deadbolt locking mechanism with 20mm steel lock bars which slide into insertion slots in the frame of the safe, creating a seal that’s near impossible for a thief to break through. It offers an upgraded optical sensor that can quickly and capably read your fingerprint to allow you access. This Viking biometric safe is a versatile tool that works well for firearms and general valuables, like jewelry, cash, or passports. Interior is well-designed it easy to organize.Lets lots of people have access to the safe.It’s also built solidly, featuring a pry-resistant door, dual-layer steel housing, and pre-drilled holes and hardware so you can mount it to your floor or wall. Setting up the programming is straightforward and with Moultec’s online video how-tos you can have it configured in under 10 minutes. This mode silences the beeps of button presses, which is ideal for retrieving your firearm without alerting an intruder. It’s also a great choice if you need to provide access to more than just yourself, as it can store up to 20 different fingerprints.Ī backlit keypad comes standard, but the most useful feature the Moultec offers is what they call silent mode. This biometric gun safe from Moutec is another pistol-only model, but it claims to have one of the fastest opening mechanisms available – opening in less than one second. Throw in the LED lighting (so you can see your weapon in the dark), gas struts which prop the door open nearly instantly, and a one-year original factory warranty and it’s clear why this little pistol safe has earned its place in the market. The locking mechanism is solid, but the best part is how tight the tolerances are – not something you’d expect from a pistol safe that costs less than a pair of name-brand sneakers. It also has a slot for a physical key if that’s your preference. In addition to the biometric locking mechanism, it also has a physical keypad, so you can open it in whatever way you choose. It’s the most affordable on the list and can accommodate either two full-size handguns or a handgun with optics/attachments and additional magazines. This heavy-duty pistol safe is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants the quick access of a biometric lock but isn’t interested in paying hundreds of dollars to get it. 3 entry mechanisms (biometric lock, physical key, & keypad).Inside is illuminated for easy weapon retrieval.Lighting, including the interior LED lighting, is powered by a lithium-ion battery that should last for up to six months.Īll this whizbang tech will cost you though – the Vaultek is 2-3x the price of other options. The Vaultek app allows you to view battery status, toggle sounds on and off, and unlock the safe from up to 20 feet away. The sensor illuminates the keypad if your hand brushes against it, eliminating any confusion or frustration in the middle of the night. It can store up to 20 unique fingerprints, but the proximity sensor and Vaultek app are impressive. It’s made from rugged, 16-gauge carbon steel which is rugged stuff, and when paired with the powder coat finish, bolstered interior hinges, and anti-impact latches make for one tough nut to crack. The Vaultec is super compact at less than 3” tall, so it’s easy to move around or fit under furniture or nightstands to quick access. It’s also roomy enough to accommodate accessories, cash, and other items along with a firearm. Vaultec offers this popular biometric gun safe, which is perfectly suited to most types of handguns. Bluetooth depletes the battery much faster when in use. ![]()
![]() You must know the cell frequencies in your area before going any further. Now they are scattered from 600 MHz to nearly 3 GHz, and that was before 5G, which adds frequencies in the 3 to 6 GHz range and some in the 20+ GHz "millimeter wave" bands. Years ago the cellular frequencies were all around 800 and 900 MHz depending on where you live. There are charts and diagrams on the web that tell you how long each element must be for your particular cell frequency. I used this and a portable spectrum analyzer to find the cell towers in this area. There is a connector on the driven element for a coax cable. The end on the right side points toward the tower. The short piece at the far left is not part of the reception elements, but just some stiff pieces so that this can be hose clamped to a pole. It is tuned to 800 MHz, but broad enough to cover the 700 MHz 4G LTE bands for AT&T and Verizon as well as the 3G voice bands for both carriers. I made this one out of copper wire and brass tubing. I made several antennas for the Wilson booster from copper wire salvaged from Romex. In the situation I'm they are useless.Ĭellular antennas can be built from copper wire, which does work better than steel coathanger, and it can be soldered. There has to be some usable signal to concentrate. It turns no coverage into 1, and sometimes 2 bars in the summer, but only if the phone is close to the booster antenna.Īny passive booster (no electronics, requires no power) will only be able to concentrate signal into a small location. ![]() I found someone on Ebay selling just the circuit board from a Wilson booster, so I got one. On a rainy summer day with lots of wet green leaves, no service.Įven a $400 Wilson booster amp barely helps. If it rings and I take it of the shelf it drops the call. On a day like today when the trees are bare and there is no snow I get 1 signal bar if leave the phone on a high shelf so it will get texts. ![]() Unfortunately There is a 1200 foot ridge between us and the tower, so we get zilch.

For semaglutide, the majority of GI side effects are mild to moderate in severity and of short duration. “Gastrointestinal (GI) events are well-known side effects of the GLP-1 class. In response to CNN’s request for comment, Novo Nordisk, maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, pointed out that drugs in this class have been used for 15 years to treat diabetes and for eight years to treat obesity, and they have been extensively studied in the real world and in clinical trials. (Photo illustration by Mario Tama/Getty Images) Mario Tama/Getty ImagesĮuropean regulator expands investigation into risks of suicidal thoughts in users of popular weight-loss medications Some doctors prescribe Ozempic off-label to treat obesity. ![]() In recent months, there has been a spike in demand for Ozempic, or semaglutide, due to its weight loss benefits, which has led to shortages. Ozempic was originally approved by the FDA to treat people with Type 2 diabetes- who risk serious health consequences without medication. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 17: In this photo illustration, boxes of the diabetes drug Ozempic rest on a pharmacy counter on Apin Los Angeles, California. There’s nothing on the drugs’ labels that specifically cautions that gastroparesis may occur. So far, extreme and unrelenting cases like these are believed to be rare, and they may be a result of the drug unmasking or worsening an existing “slow stomach.” Doctors say people can have a silent condition called delayed gastric emptying and not know it. Vomiting under anesthesia sometimes causes food and stomach acid to get into the lungs, which can cause pneumonia and other problems after surgery. The US Food and Drug Administration said it has received reports of people on the drugs experiencing stomach paralysis that sometimes has not resolved by the time it’s reported.Īnd last month, the American Society of Anesthesiologists warned that patients should stop these medications a week before surgery because they can increase the risk that people will regurgitate food during an operation, even if they’ve fasted as directed. Wright said she has also been diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome, which causes her to throw up multiple times a day.Įmily Wright lost 80 pounds on Ozempic and now struggles with gastroparesis Courtesy Emily WrightĪllen doesn’t have a diagnosis for her stomach problems but said they started only after she was encouraged by her doctor to take Wegovy to lose weight. She is managing her ongoing nausea and vomiting with a medication called Zofran and prescription probiotics while she waits for more tests in October - the first available appointments she could get with specialists.ĭoctors say that more cases like these are coming to light as the popularity of the drugs soared. Knight and Wright have been diagnosed with severe gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis, which their doctors think may have resulted from or been exacerbated by the medication they were taking, Ozempic. If the stomach slows down too much, however, that can cause problems. One of the roles of GLP-1 is to slow the passage of food through the stomach, which helps people feel fuller longer. ![]() ![]() These and other drugs in this family, which includes medications like tirzepatide and liraglutide, work by mimicking a hormone that’s naturally made by the body, GLP-1. The diabetes drug Ozempic, and its sister drug for weight loss, Wegovy, utilize the same medication, semaglutide. ![]() “I’ve almost been off Ozempic for a year, but I’m still not back to my normal,” Wright said. But Wright said she now vomits so frequently that she had to take a leave of absence from her job. Over a year, she said, she lost 80 pounds, which she’s been able to keep off.

Once again, in 2019, the AO3 had 32 billion words. I spoke to a Sudowrite customer representative via chat who confirmed that they trained their network on OpenAI’s large language models and “their own models,” and reiterated that these models were trained on online text published from 2011 through 2019. The only way that Sudowrite would be able to generate recognizable Omega Verse stories was if it had been trained on so much fanfiction that the impact of fic was unignorable within the LLM programing. It is a culture-specific style of writing that has only recently made its way into mainstream, if non-traditional, publishing outlets. ![]() The point is that this style of writing and the various tropes involved in writing within the Omega Verse are localized to online fanfiction communities, and was actually developed on AO3 itself. ![]() I am NOT getting into what constitutes an Omega Verse fic, and if you go looking for that information yourself I am not responsible for what you learn. This rather ingenious and tongue-in-cheek piece of reporting revealed that Sudowrite could be prompted to generate a story within recognizable Omega Verse strictures. ![]() In a series of more and more unhinged experiments, Wired was able to prove that Sudowrite had not only been trained on AO3, but was able to replicate stories that developed within its derivative, transformative culture. And it used billions of words from the Archive of Our Own to develop its models. It is a highly advanced language generator focused on creating stories. Additionally, users can paste their original words into the writing tool and the generator will offer options for what should come next. Users can sign up and use their account to generate words that may or may not resemble a story shape. Unlike the call and response of ChatGPT, Sudowrite was built to facilitate fiction writing. How does Sudowrite link to Omega Verse fic?Ī few weeks ago, Sudowrite-a GPT-based LLM-released its product for public beta. So while some folks understood that the AO3 had likely been Crawled, nobody had done the digging to figure out if it was really being used. The average internet user can only assume that if they had publicly available writing online, their writing ended up caught in the Crawl. While the Crawl’s data exists in a publicly available index, it is extremely difficult to access if you don’t have the ability to understand and execute code at a fairly high level. Nobody was told this was happening many fic writers still don’t know that their work was scraped at all. For our purposes, it’s worth knowing that most, if not all, of those 32 billion words of fanfic available in 2019 are in the Common Crawl dataset that was used in OpenAI’s GPT LLM. Again, for comparison-as these are absurdly huge numbers-there are currently 4.2 billion English words on Wikipedia. I was unable to find a good source for how many words are on AO3 now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was much, much more than 50 billion words. In 2019, the Archive of Our Own had 32 billion words of fanfic available, calculated from around five million pieces of fanwork. This API is the basis for many other text-based LLMs-which means that the current state of various “ stochastic parrot” text-generator AI programs are supported by the Common Crawl via GPT API, and, technically speaking, built on a massive corpus of fanfiction. OpenAI released the GPT API to the public in 2021. OpenAI used the Common Crawl dataset in GPT’s development, and it is currently using it as it develops further versions of its successful use case, ChatGPT. The most well-known LLM is GPT, which was created by the company OpenAI. In order to create generative text AI programs, programmers used the Common Crawl dataset to underpin artificial neural networks, which are called LLMs. Its archive began in 2008 and is currently being updated every two months. In order to create the dataset, the Common Crawl scraped the internet for writing and made it publicly accessible. The most well-known dataset is hosted by the Common Crawl, a non-profit that provides an open repository of web data to anyone who wants it, for free. Large language models (LLMs) are the foundation for AI text generators, which were “trained” on data in order to create artificial neural networks. How did modern LLMs scrape fanfiction sites? Back at the Cape West Apartments, Kyle finds a mysterious letter instructing him to find an object called the Scarlet Star. On December 18th, 1980, Kyle Hyde learns from his boss, Ed Vincent, that he gets fired from Red Crown. Unlike the first game, Last Window is set across several days instead of one night. The game's story takes place one year after that of its predecessor. When a chapter comes to a close, Kyle attempts to piece information together in his mind (even if it seems insignificant in the grand scheme of things) and the player has to memorize the information presented to them, including the events that occurred to pick the correct answer, so it's advised that the player pays attention during a playthrough. Additionally, Kyle will ask certain types of questions when having a conversation with others, which range from innocent to personal and the icons for these questions has a distinct color specifically white, yellow and red. Figuring out who is trustworthy and reliable is important in order to uncover the full truth. In order to progress, the player must use their critical thinking skills and be incredibly cautious about jumping to hasty conclusions the hotel guests can spread misinformation about other residents. If a character flashes red briefly due to Kyle offending them somehow, it is a sign that the player may be heading in the direction of a game over. Players will need to collect useful items, but they need to be careful as doing suspicious activity can get Kyle kicked out.ĭuring confrontation scenes, the player needs to select the right dialogue options in order to get through the section. As chapters progress, the player will be able to explore more of the hotel. The environments in the game are in full 3D and the player navigates the Cape West Apartments building in a first person perspective. ![]() ![]() Like its predecessor, the Nintendo DS is held by its side, as if it were a book, and the two screens show characters looking at each other. Last Window is a hybrid of a visual novel game and a mystery/adventure puzzle-solving game. ![]() Sure if you are listening to crappy sound sources that lack fidelity, then artificially adding fidelity can improve it a bit, or if you have shitty headphones that cant properly play details. Yea well i have studio headphones also and produce music. When you’re playing a game or watching a movie, you’ll listen to every detail with no distortions of any sort." You won’t hear that annoying hiss filter or white noise when you turn the volume up. And the great thing about it is that it increases the volume non-destructively. Quote from Boom 3D company: "This tool works wonders for those who are up for an intense listening experience. I have been using my headphones on maximum volume with Boom 3D for many years and I never ever damaged anything. It will sound very distorted and like i said before audio distortion is easy to hear.īut that's not a problem with Boom 3D. If you get a headphone amplifier, you can't turn the volume up to maximum either. It's very easy to hear when the speakers/headphones get too much power. Your speakers or headphones won't get damaged if you don't overload them. If you have an amplifier without Protection Mode, it's your job not to turn the volume up too high. You won't regret it! It's unbelievable what this application can do. Please give it a try and give some feedback so I can hear if it's just me or if you're also surprised about the abilities of this application. And then I have the main effect turned about 50% up aswell. There's several effects in the application, but I use the Fidelity effect turned about 50% up. This app will actually make your audio device sound a lot more expensive than it actually is. It's the best software "amplification" I've ever tried.įirst time I used it, I didn't believe what I heard. ![]() And now I can't hear music on my Mac without it. But I swear this application is way more than you actually could believe was possible.īut a few years ago, I stumbled upon Boom 3D. I know how many of these apps that will destroy the sound and not improve it. I've tried dozens of spatial audio applications and came to the conclusion that it was the worst crap I ever used. I have nothing to do with the company, I just wanted to discuss the application and recommend it to people who didn't know about it. Specially designed for gaming, our multi-channel 3D surround brings unmatched clarity to every game interaction." "Boom 3D is a pro audio enhancement app that has been designed to play all your media content with incredible 3D effects on ANY headphones /speakers, from any player, any media, any streaming services. We also have some great tips on how to use reverb masterfully, if you’re interested. This way, we can regain clarity automatically without managing it manually on an automation track to dip the volume. So in this way we can basically direct the compressor to reduce the volume of the reverb itself when the vocal track starts playing. For instance, maybe we have a rich, lush reverb ringing out behind the vocals, but it’s getting in the way of and reducing the clarity and intelligibility of the vocals. These are a few examples of why and when we’d use this method. Punching through a reverb or ambient pad.Forcing the bass to drop in volume when the kick drum occurs.Making ambient and crowd mics duck behind the speakers (live TV events, etc.).Making the music duck behind dialogue (e.g., Broadway recordings, live DJ setups).I want to list out a few uses for sidechaining compression so you can start to get an idea why we do this in the first place: If it’s not making sense yet, it will in a second. In the majority of cases it’s about gaining clarity in the mix. See the image below for a diagram on how it works. We are making the compressor take its directions from a different track. In the case of sidechaining compression, we want it to compress the track it’s applied to, but we want to trigger it when a different sound surpasses the threshold. It’s a self-contained, intelligent volume control so you don’t have to ride the fader on the mixer. When we normally use a compressor we apply it to a track on the multitrack mixer set the threshold, attack, and release and then let it be triggered by the amplitude of the track it’s placed on. Let me say that in normal people terms (and for beginners, check out our What is a Studio Compressor? article). Sidechain compression is a method of using a dynamic range compressor to manage the variance in amplitude of an instrument or recording track, like usual, except this time it’s being triggered by a different instrument or track. Remember, mixing is an art and a science, and you could be the one to discover new ways to use this advanced method. I’m going to explain everything I’ve mentioned thus far plus toss out some applications to get you thinking. It’s not hard to understand or set up, though we all need that first set of instructions, otherwise it’s nearly impossible to figure out. Sometimes there’s only so much you can do with equalization.Īnd that’s where the concept of sidechaining comes in. ![]() If you’re a long-time follower of LedgerNote, you know I’ve written a ton about mixing tricks of the trade to help you get better clarity, especially in the bottom-end of your mix. |
