![]() ![]() While Taylor Swift is assembling her squad, turning friendship into a competitive exercise dressed up as feminist wholesomeness, Rihanna is partying at carnival, metaphorically knocking the schoolbooks out of Swift’s arms in the high school hallway en route to rolling a spliff at the back of biology class. It’s this brashness combined with pop omnipresence that makes Rihanna such an exciting pop star. The most refreshing thing about her is the apparent zero f***s she gives. And that’s not to mention her collaborations on other singles, Run This Town, Love the Way You Lie, All of the Lights and The Monster, all of which have all given her hip-hop cred. Her songs have solidified her as one of the biggest hitters in the modern pop songbook, Umbrella, Disturbia, Rude Boy, ‘Only Girl (in the World), What’s My Name?, S&M, We Found Love, Diamonds, Stay, Pour It Up and Bitch Better Have My Money especially. She’s had 13 number ones in the US Billboard Hot 100, the same as Michael Jackson. Rihanna epitomises a singles artist, with 58 to her name. But who cares, right? The album’s here! A new Rihanna record! Press play. It’s especially hard to maintain exclusivity when the album was seemingly accidentally posted on Tidal on the eve of its release, downloaded and leaked. Who cares about a Samsung marketing exercise? No one, apart from Samsung. Anti was released through the streaming service Tidal (although anyone can download it), with Samsung footing the bill for free downloads, as part of a reported $25 million contract Rihanna has signed with the company to promote both their products and her upcoming tour.īut fans don’t care how an album is released. When it comes to making album deals with phone companies, Jay-Z learned the hard way with Magna Carta Holy Grail, hooking up with Samsung to release the record first for fans with Samsung phone hardware. ![]() While not as big a promotional and marketing car crash as Madonna’s disastrous Rebel Heart, the tedious teasing on the album’s website failed to compel. The release of Anti was preceded by a sloppy campaign. On Thursday, Rihanna’s latest album Anti didn’t explode into the popular conscience, it petered. It must be an event that encompasses pop culture pulse-pushing and marketing genius, as well visually compelling, and monopolise the charts and the radio. It is now not enough for an A-list artist to release an album. ![]() The next year, she issued her fifth album, Loud.It’s over two years since Beyoncé’s fourth eponymous album set a precedent for contemporary pop records going beyond a few singles and filler, with the singer assembling an army of producers and contributors to knock it out of the park. She continued in this direction with 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, which featured the infectious singles "Umbrella" and "Shut Up and Drive." In early 2009, she was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown en route to a pre-Grammys party that November, she released Rated R, a highly personal album with an unmistakable darkness. Though Rihanna had basically moved away from dancehall, she was moving toward a new aesthetic that married R&B, synth-pop and hip-hop. The single, which sampled Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," was one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially popular songs of that year. But her big break came in 2006 with the release of the single "S.O.S." and the subsequent album A Girl Like Me. The singer's first single, "Pon de Replay," was released in June 2005, with the full album Music of the Sun dropping a month later. ![]() She was discovered by producer Evan Rogers during his island visit in 2003, and went on to impress Def Jam CEO Jay-Z so much that he grabbed her for a multi-album contract. Talent and a dose of good luck got Barbados-born Rihanna signed to Def Jam when she was 16 years old. ![]() ![]() ![]() Priced at $30 more than the regular model, the watch, made in partnership with Under Armour, will support a Bluetooth connection to your phone and comes with pre-loaded software giving users direct access to Under Armour’s fitness ecosystem but unfortunately lacks LTE. ![]() Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition | Photo: The Rahnuma Daily It can also convert notes into a range of documents and programs, inclusive of PDF format and Word Documents. The S Pen has been redesigned to now have Bluetooth, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer so it can connect to other devices, perform tasks such as controlling apps with air gestures or remotely control a device from a distance. The new S PenĪnother interesting announcement made during Samsung’s event was the upgraded S Pen. The Note 10 will cost £899, while the 256GB model starts from £999. The 5G edition is essentially the Note 10 Plus but with the ability to support 5G once it is accessible in your area.īoth phones will be on sale from August 23rd in the UK and are currently available for preorder. Technically speaking, there is also a third Galaxy Note 10 the Note 10 5G. However, the Note 10 Plus does support a microSD card up to a staggering 1TB in capacity. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Note 10 doesn’t ship with a card slot and only has internal memory. Both variants also support wireless charging and use standard USB PD for high-speed charging. Designed to primarily work with wireless Bluetooth headphones, a pair of wired AKG earbuds that plug into the Note 10’s USB-C port will be included in the box, but the dongle will have to be bought separately. The phones now have integrated Discord support, use the Game Booster app to optimise the best possible performance, and can stream games straight from your PC to your phone via the new PlayGalaxy Link feature.Īccording to The Verge, Samsung has dropped the headphone jack as the company has used the extra space for more battery. It’s also clear that Samsung is taking gaming on the Note lineup very seriously. This camera can be used as a 3D camera to scan various objects which can then be manipulated to create interactive avatars or printed as a 3D file. ![]() One component that is lacking on the regular Note 10, however, is the extra DepthVision camera found on the Note 10 Plus. The cameras are inclusive of a variable aperture 12-megapixel lens, an ultra-wide-angle 16-megapixel lens, and a telephoto 12-megapixel lens. The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus both come with the same Dynamic AMOLED displays, in-screen fingerprint sensors, increased batteries, Snapdragon 855 processors and a triple-camera arrangement on the rear. Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus | Photo: The Verge ![]() The regular Samsung Galaxy Note 10, is the smaller device with a 6.3-inch screen, while the Note 10 Plus has a larger 6.8-inch screen. It goes without saying that we were all expecting the company to announce the latest Note flagship, but what did take everyone by surprise, was the unveiling of the larger Galaxy Note 10 Plus.īoth phones share many similar features, with the size being the only main difference between the two devices. Missed what was announced? We have rounded up everything unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 Unpacked event below. During Samsung’s latest Unpacked event which took place in New York on Wednesday, the company announced not just one, but two new versions of the Galaxy Note 10 flagship the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, which is inclusive of a new S Pen with Bluetooth connectivity and a gyroscope.Īs well as unveiling it’s long-rumoured Galaxy Note 10 and refreshed S Pen, Samsung also unveiled a Galaxy-branded laptop, a new smartwatch, and unanticipated partnership with Microsoft. ![]() ![]() You will now be able to see the live TV in the “ Watch TV” screen that will appear now. Then in the next screen (shown below) select “ Composite” (ignore the numbers 1, 2 or 3 that may appear in brackets). Now run Nero Home from desktop or start menu, select “ Video” option from “Video and TV” menu – don’t select “Live TV” (that works only with TV Antenna/Cable as input). You are good to go, complete rest of the steps and close the dialog box and MediaHome. In the dialog box that comes, select the video device as “ PCTV 330e/8x0e Device”, video input as “ Composite”, Audio device as “ Use audio from video device”. The trick here (which I forgot yesterday while configuring and wasted two hours) is to use the Nero MediaHome software (accessed from Start search menu or from “ C:\Program Files (x86)\Nero\Nero8\Nero MediaHome\NeroMediaHome.exe”) and not the Nero Home (whose Easy Setup option doesn’t allow us to set the TV input as composite).Īfter running Nero MediaHome, select the TV->Launch Nero TV Wizard. I am using my favourite Nero 8.0 (Nero 9.0 should work as well and provide scheduling capability) software. Now it is time to configure your software to receive the signal and view. ![]() I will recommend using the USB extension cable (found in the box) and connecting to a free port in the rear of your desktop (also for the fact that most rear USB ports are USB 2.0 for better speed) so that the wires are hidden away from the view. The small black colour Pinnacle adapter cable is specific to Pinnacle PCTV and is included in the box, you will not get this outside.Ĭonnect your Pinnacle USB stick (with the small black pin and cable connected) to a free USB port in your machine. This cable is not included with Pinnacle PCTuner USB product.Ĭonnect the Audio ![]() ![]() While the smart conclusion to Hang The DJ is satisfyingly definitive – Frank and Amy seem set for a long life of giggles and rock-throwing, to this day for me, San Junipero’s final moments could run hot or cold on the heart. When viewing it in this light, Yorkie and Kelly’s decision to stay in San Junipero might appear suddenly bleaker, but (lest we forget) their only other choice was certain death. ![]() Brooker here is quite clearly commenting that, at least presently, just because one can use technology as an escape, we still shouldn’t let it govern us. Right up until the final rug-pull realisation that what we’ve been witnessing is nothing but algorithmic code attempting to gauge the probability of the real-life Frank and Amy being a match, Hang The DJ shows the dangers of a contained society that holds a much darker edge than the rom-com we were initially sold. “I don't want whoever the system reckons the one is, OK?”, iterates Joe Cole’s Frank emphatically by the end. ![]() Known solely as ‘Coach’, this unsettlingly plausible dating app acts as the only method in which people can find their soulmate, resulting in a level of romance automation that couldn’t be further from the real bond forged in San Junipero. The more Hang The DJ progresses, the more we empathise with Frank and Amy as they are consistently beaten down by the calculated mechanisms that can arise in a world dictated by a cold AI. Here it’s made clear that technology holds the power to be a prison as well as an angelic paradise, an idea Black Mirror’s earlier episode USS Callister also, interestingly, touches upon. The blandness makes sense given the episode’s final revelation, but the big difference here is that it allows the escape to feel more justified. Speaking of Hang The DJ’s dystopian setting, it’s immediately apparent that the walled-off areas residents are forced to roam hold no candle to San Junipero’s vibrant retro-futurist aesthetic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amphenol ICC was also the company that first brought you the option of an FFC/FPC connector under 1mm in height. Amphenol ICC improved that feature on many products by modifying the connector housing to provide visual confirmation that the flex cable is mated properly. Amphenol ICC introduced the first flex connector with a back side flip actuator that allows the user to insert the flex cable and lock the actuator with one hand. Many of our flex circuit connectors offer ZIF with prehold, which applies a small retention force on the cable to hold it in place until the actuator is locked. Amphenol ICC offers products in LIF (low insertion force) and ZIF (zero insertion force), top and bottom contact options, vertical and right angle orientations, surface mount and through hole terminations in contact spacing options all the way down to 0.2mm with finer pitch products on their way.Īdditional features, such as optional cable locks and additional mounting devices, insure that Amphenol ICC has a solution for almost any application, no matter how demanding.Īs your connection to innovation, Amphenol ICC continues to bring you unique solutions that not only give you the footprint you need but help to maximize the quality level of your application. This will result in energy savings for the consumer.īy Amphenol Advanced Sensors | Thermometrics, Inc.Īmphenol ICC, a leader in flex circuit connectors offers the most innovative and complete range of products in the industry. By measuring the turbidity of the wash water, the dishwasher can conserve energy on lightly soiled loads by only washing as long as necessary. These decisions are made based on a comparison between clean water measurements (taken at the beginning of the wash cycle) and the wash water turbidity measurement taken at the end of each wash cycle. ![]() These turbidity measurements are supplied to the dishwasher controller, which makes decisions on how long to wash in all the cycles. The turbidity sensor measures the amount of transmitted light to determine the turbidity of the wash water. As the soil level increases, the amount of transmitted light decreases. ![]() The sensor operates on the principle that when light is passed through a sample of water, the amount of light transmitted through the sample is dependent on the amount of soil in the water. By using an optical transistor and optical diodes, an optical washing machine sensor measures the amount of light coming from the source of the light to the light receiver, in order to calculate water turbidity. An optical sensor for washing machines is a measuring product for a turbid water density or an extraneous matter concentration using the refraction of wavelength between photo transistor and diode. ![]() The TSW-10 module measures the turbidity (amount of suspended particles) of the wash water in washing machines and dishwashers.

![]() ![]() This, too, is unchanged from the specs of the iPhone 4. On the front of the phone there’s a VGA-quality camera (640-by-480 pixels) that’s designed to be used for video chatting, either via Apple’s FaceTime technology or via a third-party app such as Skype or Google+. Extremely precise cases designed specifically for the original iPhone 4 may have trouble fitting over the ring/silent switch and the volume buttons of the iPhone 4S, which are slightly shifted from their position on the GSM iPhone 4 precision cases for the Verizon iPhone 4 and less-precise iPhone 4 cases will have no trouble. I appreciated being able to take a more environmentally friendly option of buying used, save some money while getting a perfectly good phone, and have a good experience with a Canadian company at the same time.With the exception of a micro-SIM card slot on the right side, the iPhone 4S is a dead ringer for the Verizon/CDMA version of the iPhone 4 introduced in February. I was initially nervous about buying a used phone, but it's been a great experience and I would do it again. My new phone might have a scratch on the back but I can't even remember anymore as it's covered up by a case. My first phone (rated as "good" condition, their lowest rating) had a light scratch on the screen but you would only notice if looking for it specifically, I didn't find it got in the way of my experience at all. One thing I was unsure about was the condition of the phone based on the ratings they provide, but it's been fine. ![]() When that didn't work, they offered me a few options I decided to swap my phone for another of the same model and condition. Orchard support was very responsive and suggested some things I could try to troubleshoot the issue. ![]() Initially, when I got my phone the only issue I had with it - albeit a big one -was the battery life, it was unable to retain a charge beyond a few hours. I was very happy with the experience and product, and would highly. I bought a phone a bit over a year ago from Orchard. Ultimately, you’ll find this annoying more than anything and whether this is a deal breaker for you really depends on your tolerance. Some apps simply won’t be available on devices that are running old versions of iOS.įor the ones you actually can download, you might find that they are laggy, buggy, and prone to crashes. The iPhone 4S hasn’t supported the latest iOS updates for a few years now. ![]() Ultimately, these limits are what makes the 4S a good starter phone or backup device- something that you’ll use for a couple of months but that you’ll ultimately upgrade from. While the iPhone 4S can still handle day-to-day use like taking and sharing photos, browsing the web, and calling, there are some limits to what it can do. Siri is a definite game changer, especially if you have trouble reading, seeing, or typing since Siri can do everything from read the text on page out loud for you, set your alarm clock, or even hail you a cab. This allows you to speak commands to your phone in normal, natural language and have Siri respond or actually complete small tasks for you.
