Remember Beyond 2000? The internet does, much to NEC's dismay
Subject: General Tech | November 12, 2015 - 05:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: wearable computing, amusing
If you are under the age of 30 then this post will be lost on you but for those of us conscious, or at least semi-conscious of the heady times which were the 90's there was an Aussie show called Beyond 2000 (or Towards 2000) which was picked up by Discovery Channel back when before it became a reality show channel. They tried to predict the technologies which would be commonplace in the new millennium and was very interesting to those of us interested in technology. Of course, like all other shows which try to predict the future, looking back on them from 20 years into the future is cringe-worthy and more than a little amusing. Grab a beverage and a snack and check out the shows predictions on wearable tech and fashion over at MAKE:Blog. Then feel shame at how cool you thought these were back in the 90's.
"This segment on wearable computing is from a 1992 episode of the Australian tech futurism show Beyond 2000 (and replayed in the states on the Discovery Channel for those of you that remember). It starts with a fashion show (like you do) featuring a number of wearable computing devices designed by Hideki Takamasa of Japanese company NEC."

NVIDIA Jetson TX1 Will Power Autonomous Embedded Devices With Machine Learning
Subject: General Tech | November 12, 2015 - 07:46 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Tegra X1, nvidia, maxwell, machine learning, jetson, deep neural network, CUDA, computer vision
Nearly two years ago, NVIDIA unleashed the Jetson TK1, a tiny module for embedded systems based around the company's Tegra K1 "super chip." That chip was the company's first foray into CUDA-powered embedded systems capable of machine learning including object recognition, 3D scene processing, and enabling things like accident avoidance and self-parking cars.
Now, NVIDIA is releasing even more powerful kit called the Jetson TX1. This new development platform covers two pieces of hardware: the credit card sized Jetson TX1 module and a larger Jetson TX1 Development Kit that the module plugs into and provides plenty of I/O options and pin outs. The dev kit can be used by software developers or for prototyping while the module alone can be used with finalized embedded products.
NVIDIA foresees the Jetson TX1 being used in drones, autonomous vehicles, security systems, medical devices, and IoT devices coupled with deep neural networks, machine learning, and computer vision software. Devices would be able to learn from the environment in order to navigate safely, identify and classify objects of interest, and perform 3D mapping and scene modeling. NVIDIA partnered with several companies for proof-of-concepts including Kespry and Stereolabs.
Using the TX1, Kespry was able to use drones to classify and track in real time construction equipment moving around a construction site (in which the drone was not necessarily programmed for exactly as sites and weather conditions vary, the machine learning/computer vision was used to allow the drone to navigate the construction site and a deep neural network was used to identify and classify the type of equipment it saw using its cameras. Meanwhile Stereolabs used high resolution cameras and depth sensors to capture photos of buildings and then used software to reconstruct the 3D scene virtually for editing and modeling. You can find other proof-of-concept videos, including upgrading existing drones to be more autonomous posted here.
From the press release:
"Jetson TX1 will enable a new generation of incredibly capable autonomous devices," said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager of the Tegra business at NVIDIA. "They will navigate on their own, recognize objects and faces, and become increasingly intelligent through machine learning. It will enable developers to create industry-changing products."
But what about the hardware side of things? Well, the TX1 is a respectable leap in hardware and compute performance. Sitting at 1 Teraflops of rated (FP16) compute performance, the TX1 pairs four ARM Cortex A57 and four ARM Cortex A53 64-bit CPU cores with a 256-core Maxwell-based GPU. Definitely respectable for its size and low power consumption, especially considering NVIDIA claims the SoC can best the Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K in certain workloads (thanks to the GPU portion). The module further contains 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and 16GB of eMMC flash storage.
In short, while on module storage has not increased, RAM has been doubled and compute performance has tripled for FP16 compute performance and jumped by approximately 40% for FP32 versus the Jetson TK1's 2GB of DDR3 and 192-core Kepler GPU. The TX1 also uses a smaller process node at 20nm (versus 28nm) and the chip is said to use "very little power." Networking support includes 802.11ac and Gigabit Ethernet. The chart below outlines the major differences between the two platforms.
|Jetson TX1
|Jetson TK1
|GPU (Architecture)
|256-core (Maxwell)
|192-core (Kepler)
|4 x ARM Cortex A57 + 4 x A53
|"4+1" ARM Cortex A15 "r3"
|Compute Performance (FP16)
|Compute Performance (FP32) - via AnandTech
|512 GFLOPS (AT's estimation)
|326 GFLOPS (NVIDIA's number)
|Manufacturing Node
|Launch Pricing
The TX1 will run the Linux For Tegra operating system and supports the usual suspects of CUDA 7.0, cuDNN, and VisionWorks development software as well as the latest OpenGL drivers (OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL ES 3.1, and Vulkan).
NVIDIA is continuing to push for CUDA Everywhere, and the Jetson TX1 looks to be a more mature product that builds on the TK1. The huge leap in compute performance should enable even more interesting projects and bring more sophisticated automation and machine learning to smaller and more intelligent devices.
For those interested, the Jetson TX1 Development Kit (the full I/O development board with bundled module) will be available for pre-order today at $599 while the TX1 module itself will be available soon for approximately $299 each in orders of 1,000 or more (like Intel's tray pricing).
With CUDA 7, it is apparently possible for the GPU to be used for general purpose processing as well which may open up some doors that where not possible before in such a small device. I am interested to see what happens with NVIDIA's embedded device play and what kinds of automated hardware is powered by the tiny SoC and its beefy graphics.
Thrustmaster Offers T300 Servo Base as a Standalone Product
Subject: General Tech | November 11, 2015 - 11:39 PM | Josh Walrath

Seems we have been on a bit of a Thrustmaster kick as of late? We are not really complaining as there are certainly some interesting products that the company offers. The latest product is not new, but how it is presented is. Thrustmaster has traditionally bundled all of the different parts of the wheel together, but for the past few years they have worked on expanding the wheel ecosystem so users can upgrade certain pieces at will.
This is all well and good, but users might find that they are throwing their money away by not recycling or reselling the parts they were upgrading. Bought the TX F458 and want to purchase the shifter? Go for it, but you need to buy the 3 pedal unit as the F458 kit only includes a two pedal unit. Upgrade to the leather GT wheel or the new 599XX Alcantara edition? Might as well throw the stock wheel in the closet, never to be seen again.
Choice is a good thing, so Thrustmaster is now offering its more moderately priced base unit, the T300, as a standalone part. This will allow users to purchase a good quality base all the while picking and choosing what other components to use. The base price is $249 US.
The T300 base unit features a strong brushless motor with the dual belt pulley system. This base unit is an upgrade from the TX base that is included with my previously reviewed TX F458 Italia Edition wheel set. It features the full 1080 degrees of rotation vs. the TX's 900 degrees. The motor also looks to be larger and stronger than the TX. The base unit is compatible with the PS3/PS4, and the PC. It also features the H.E.A.R.T sensor that utilizes the Hall Effect to provide a contact-less sensor that should last nearly forever. It features the 16 bit sensor giving over 65,000 values around the axis. Xbox 1 users will have to rely on the TX base unit as the T300 is not compatible with that system.
Thrustmaster's competitor Fanatec has been selling the base units by themselves for quite some time, so it is nice to see Thrustmaster offer customers the same flexibility. One thing must be noted though, the T300 is significantly less expensive than the lowest priced Fanatec base units that are currently available.

Fallout 4 performance at the high end

Tagged: R9 FuryX, nvidia, GTX 980 Ti, gaming, fallout 4, amd
[H]ard|OCP tested out the performance of the 980 Ti and FuryX in single card configurations as multiple GPU support is non-existent in Fallout 4, some have had moderate success with workarounds which [H] mentions at the end of the review. At launch it seems NVIDIA's card offers significantly better performance overall, hopefully that delta will decrease as patches and drivers are rolled out. As far as features go, enabling godrays has a huge effect on performance for both cards and FXAA is the best performing AA when displaying a wide variety of terrain, close forested areas allowed TAA to narrow the gap. As to the game itself, as of yet they do not sound overly impressed.
"Fallout 4 is out on the PC, in this preview we will take a look at performance between GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 Fury X as well as some in-game feature performance comparisons. We'll also take a look at some in-game feature screenshots and find out what settings are best for an enjoyable gaming experience."

NVIDIA's new Tesla M40 series
Subject: General Tech | November 11, 2015 - 11:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, Tesla M40, neural net, JetsonTX1
There are a lot of colloquialisms tossed about such as AI research and machine learning which refer to the work being done designing neural nets by feeding in huge amounts of data to an architecture capable of forming and weighting connections in an attempt to create a system capable of processing that input in a meaningful way. You might be familiar with some of the more famous experiments such as Google's Deep Dream and Wolfram's Language
Image Identification Project. As you might expect this takes a huge amount of computational power and NVIDA has just announced the Tesla M40 accelerator card for training deep neural nets. It is fairly low powered at 50-75W of draw and NVIDIA claims it will be able to deal with five times more simultaneous video streams than previous products. Along with this comes Hyperscale Suite software, specifically designed to work on the new hardware which Jen-Hsun Huang comments on over at The Inquirer.
At the end of the presentation he also mentioned the tiny Jetson TX1 SoC. It has 256-core Maxwell GPU capable of 1TFLOPS, a 64-bit ARM A57 CPU, 4GB of memory and communicates via Ethernet or Wi-Fi all on a card 50x87mm (2x3.4)" in size. It will be available at $300 when released some time early next year.
"Machine learning is the grand computational challenge of our generation. We created the Tesla hyperscale accelerator line to give machine learning a 10X boost. The time and cost savings to data centres will be significant."

The Inquirer hasn't received a model for review yet but they did get a quick peek at the new line of Portégé business laptops from Toshiba. The new models are the 13.3" Portégé Z20t-C, 14" Portégé Z30-C, 14" Tecra Z40-C, and 15.6" Tecra Z50-C and will ship running either Windows 7 or Windows 10 depending on your preference. From what they were told only the small Z20t-C will have the new USB 3.1 Type-C port, other models will sport USB 3.0. One nice feature with the new Z series is that they will all use the same docking station, handy for when you are managing multiple models. If you are looking for a new business laptop or your company is fishing for vendors then you might want to wait to check out Toshiba's new line when it officially launches.
"TOSHIBA HAS UNVEILED fresh iterations of its flagship business laptop range, the Z Series, adding Intel's latest 6th-gen Core processors."

You got air in my LiOn battery! Oh wait ...
Subject: General Tech | November 6, 2015 - 05:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Li-air, battery
Many great discoveries happen accidentally, when a scientist is attempting to create a new material or upgrade an existing one, only to stumble upon something different or to achieve the desired results in an unexpected way. Such was the case for K M Abraham who was trying to improve the performance of LiOn batteries when one of his batteries sprung a leak and allowed air into the cells. Over the past twenty years we have barely managed to triple the power of batteries so any advancement in battery technology is welcome even ones which seem at first to have serious drawbacks. The problem with this particular battery design is in the formation of Li2O2 deposits as the battery discharges which will eventually render the battery nonchargeable and useless. Read on at The Register to see how that problem has been overcome and the possible uses of this new type battery.
"Rather than try to fix the leak, Abraham investigated and discovered the first rechargeable lithium-air (Li-air) battery. So far this discovery hasn't led to any technically viable products, but a paper published in Science from a University of Cambridge research group may be about to change that."

Be careful where your USB Type-C cords come from

Tagged: USB 3 Type-C
The introduction of USB 3 Type C has been welcomed by everyone who has to twist a USB cable three times before it will plug in but that reversible functionality could also pose a risk. An engineer from that Alphabet company warns that because the new plugs and cords provide 3A power supply the cords have to have the correct resistor present to make sure that the correct amount of power flows through the cord. After testing a variety of cables from Amazon, Benson Leung discovered some of the cheaper cables consider that resistor optional, skipping it or putting one in which cannot handle that amount of amperage. This results in magic smoke being released from your shiny, new and expensive machine at worst and flaky connections at best. Catch up with his testing at The Inquirer and make sure you are picking up cables with a reputable name attached to them.
"A GOOGLE ENGINEER has warned people to beware of cutting corners with the purchase of the new USB Type-C cables which are set to become the standard over the coming years."

Steam Launches "Item Stores"
Subject: General Tech | November 5, 2015 - 12:01 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, steam, Rust
Team Fortress 2 switched from a paid game, first seen in The Orange Box bundle, to a free-to-play title. Financially, you could say that it was supported by tips... ... tips of the hat. Some responded with a wag of their finger, but others with a swipe of their credit card. Where was I going with this? Oh right. This game put Valve on the path of microtransactions, which fuels games like DOTA 2 that aren't supported in any other way.
Each of these item payments are done in game however, even Valve games, except for one. Rust has been chosen to introduce Item Stores on Steam. If you go to Rust's store page, you will see a category called "Items available for this game". Clicking on it brings you to "Rust Item Store", where you can buy in-game clothing, weapons, and sleeping bags with real money. This feature is not even available on Team Fortress 2 or DOTA 2.
While there has been some parallels drawn between this and the backtracked paid mods initiative, I don't see it. This is not attempting to take third-party content, some of which was plagiarized from free, existing mods, and sell it. This is an attempt to provide a platform for in-game purchases that already exist. If there's a story, I'd say it's how the initiative launched with a third-party game, and not one of Valve's two, popular, free-to-play titles.
Bethesda Blogs Fallout 4 Graphics Features
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | November 5, 2015 - 02:37 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: fallout 4, bethesda
Fallout 4 is just a few days from release, and the hype train is roaring into the station. Bethesda titles are particularly interesting for PC hardware websites because they tend to find a way into our benchmarking suites. They're relatively demanding, open world titles that are built with a unique engine, and they are popular. They are very, very popular. Skyrim is still in our lineup even though it launched four whole years ago (although that is mostly because it's our last DirectX 9 representative).
Being a demanding, open world title means that it has several interesting features. First, it has full time-of-day lighting and weather effects, which were updated in this release with enhanced post processing effects. A bright, daytime scene will have blue skies and a soft fog that scatters light. Materials are developed using a "Physically Based Shading" model, which is more of an artist feature, but it tends to simplify asset creation and make it much more consistent.
They also have "dynamic dismemberment using hardware tessellation". In other words, GPUs will add detail to models as they are severed into smaller chunks. Need I say more?
A lot of these features are seen in many other engines lately, like Unreal Engine 4, so it shouldn't be too surprising. Bokeh Depth of Field is a blurring technique to emulate how camera apertures influence out-of-focus elements. This is most obvious in small highlights, which ends up taking the shape of the camera's aperture. If a camera uses a six-blade aperture, then blurred point blooms will look like hexagons. This is very useful to emulate film. They also use "filmic tonemapping", which is another post process effect to emulate film.
Fallout 4 seems to be making use of high-end DirectX 11-era features. While this means that it should be about the best-looking game out there, it also holds a lot of promise for mods.
As you're well aware, Fallout 4 ships on November 10th (and screenshots have already leaked).

Someone on NeoGAF got their hands on Fallout 4 screenshots. These ones are from the PC, captured at 1080p with supposedly Ultra settings. I can believe it.

Not much to be said about these, apart from "go to NeoGAF to see the rest of them". From the spoilers side of things, near the bottom of the page, there's an image that lists a bunch of perks. It's small enough that you cannot read it unless you right-click and "view image", so don't worry about accidentally seeing it. Otherwise, there isn't really any spoilers on that page, although I didn't check the other ones. Be careful if you start browsing the other pages of the thread.

They posted their system specs, but it's kind-of irrelevant. We don't know how old their build is.
Fallout 4 launches on Tuesday (the same day as StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void -- which is irrelevant to this post, but I want you all to know my pain).

This will not be the Mechwarrior of old, the new Battletech game will be turn based and resemble the tabletop version of the game in more ways than the faster paced Mechwarrior and Mech Commander series. As mentioned in the interview by Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN with Jordan Weisman, the main creator of this world the turn based play allows you to delve far deeper into managing your mechs heat, ranges, and armor exposure in combat . Battles will also focus more on mixed forces with crunchies and quite possibly air support present on the theater in addition to your mechs. Read the full interview for more information on what this game will look like. It has been fully funded and all the extra tiers were reached, including an extended single player campaign and PvP battles in the Arenas of Solaris VII, you can still get in on the action on their second chance pledge page.
"This is a turn-based game, and that allows us to dive a little deeper into what makes a mech a mech. When you're real-time, you have to kind of… not allow the player to dive into that kind of depth because there'd be too much information overflow and decision paralysis," Weisman said."

The fight for a wireless power standard is down to two
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2015 - 06:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Qi, wireless power, Airfuel Alliance, Wireless Power Consortium
We have seen several solutions for wirelessly charging your mobile devices emerge recently which cause some to worry this would create an ecosystem of incompatible solutions. Today two of the major players in Wireless Power merged to form the Airfuel Alliance. Those two players were supported by Broadcom, Intel, Samsung and several others while the WPC is backed by big names such as Microsoft, Motorola, Philips and Qualcomm. WPC's branding is Qi, while AA's members use a mix of magnetic resonance and induction systems with Rezence being their widest known branding. Currently there are products such as the Apple watch which use Qi, with Intel prototyping charging stations using AA's solutions. With only two major players left there is much less chance of this particular market fragmenting and becoming frustrating for consumers. Read on at The Register for more.
"The battle for wireless power supremacy is now a straight fight between two groups following the merger of the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) and the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) into the Airfuel Alliance."

Roccat Kiro Is Very Ambidextrous
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2015 - 12:32 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: roccat, gaming mouse
While it used to be next-to impossible to find ambidextrous mice with thumb buttons, it's fairly common these days. This is coming from a left-handed PC gamer. We now have several options, including a few options that are exclusively for south paws. This one is a little different, though. Roccat decided to make an ambidextrous mouse with removable covers for the thumb buttons. This change allows the user to convert the mouse from left-handed thumb buttons, to right-handed thumb buttons, to both, to neither.
Unfortunately, Roccat doesn't say exactly how many buttons there are. I'm looking specifically at the front middle. It looks like a simple scroll wheel with a single button behind it. Roccat calls the wheel a "2D Titan Wheel" but, as far as I can tell, and I've searched for quite a while about this, it's just their brand name for a high-quality, one dimensional scroll wheel. Physically speaking, a "2D scroll wheel" should have tilt, but it doesn't seem to. 2D is up, down, left, right; 1D is up and down; 0D is a point, which I guess would be a button?
Anyway, the customization feature sounds nice, but I'm not sure how useful it is in practice. It could be nice for a family, where some users are right-handed and others are left-handed. A single person is going to stick with a single handedness, though. This makes me consider other uses cases, where a single user would want to adjust their button layout for reasons other than handedness. Perhaps the user doesn't want to feel buttons under their pinky and ring finger when playing certain genres, but want it for some reason (DPI adjustment?) in other games. It's a struggle, but maybe there's a potential market for it.
This is the same mouse as above, just with its sides replaced.
On the other hand, Roccat plans to release "3D print support". Maybe the draw was never intended to be the four included panels. Perhaps the goal is to provide a platform for users to create their own sides, and the ambidextrous nature was just the default for non-enthusiasts (or until the user gets around to making their own)?
Pricing and availability have not been announced on their website, but Tom's Hardware seems to think it's $49.99, and available November 27th. It's probably in a newsletter or press release that I missed.
Microsoft Updated Windows End of Sales Dates

Tagged: Windows 8.1, windows 8, Windows 7, windows 10, microsoft
Officially, the only version of Windows that you can purchase standalone is Windows 10. Sales of Windows 7 ended on October 31st, 2013, and retail availability Windows 8.x ended on September 1st. Unofficially, you can find SKUs available on Amazon and elsewhere for both of these versions, and in several different editions.
PCs with Windows pre-installed follow their own calendar, though. Almost two years ago, Microsoft announced that Windows 7 PCs will be available until October 31st, 2014, with an extension for Windows 7 Professional that will be at least 12 months after... whenever they decide to announce the date. They announced the date a few days ago and, you guessed it, it's 12 months from then: October 31st, 2016. They also announced that PCs with Windows 8.1 pre-installed will have the same end of sales date.
So basically, you can only purchase Windows 10 now, and PCs will only have it pre-installed after October 31st, 2016... officially.

About two weeks ago, we highlighted a video by "The 8-Bit Guy" about the earliest computer audio implementations. It focused on the engineering side, how a series of channels, made up of square waves, triangles waves, noise, and occasionally PCM recordings, could be mixed to generate sound.
This video discusses a similar era from a slightly different perspective. Beep is a documentary video and book series that started on Kickstarter. This segment is an interview with Rich Heimlich, the person behind the company Top Star. They did third-party QA for video game companies. He was approached by Martin Prevel, a professor at Université Laval in Quebec, who had the idea of an add-in sound card. It used the Yamaha YM3812 sound chip, which you might remember from The 8-Bit Guy's video.
The interview delves into the more business aspects of the industry, though. For example, one of Ad Lib's biggest issues was that PCs did not have a lot of room for expansion. It was difficult to convince the consumer to give up a whole ISA add-in slot for audio. Heimlich remembers a strong consumer backlash against dedicated audio that they needed to overcome. Gamers needed to choose between sound, clock, storage, and so forth. Beyond that, the PC, with software like LOTUS 123, brought hardware that wasn't just considered "a toy" into the home. It brought a huge wave of hardware in, but it wasn't considered a serious gaming platform until titles like Myst came out for them.
At some point, Creative noticed this whole situation. They contacted Rich Heimlich and showed them the "Killer" (later "Sound Blaster") card. The switch in power from Ad Lib to Creative was interesting, which Heimlich says had nothing to do with the digital audio feature, since that was not even used until two years after Creative surpassed Ad Lib in market share. He attributes it to the initial problem, which is a lack of add-in card real estate. The Sound Blaster had a GamePort, which let users justify filling that socket with both audio and a joystick port, which would be two sockets with Ad Lib's solution. It was also cheaper than the Ad Lib.
The interview goes on to discuss the Ad Lib vs Creative war to their next-generation product, Ad Lib Gold vs Sound Blaster 16. He alleges that, since Creative had better connections within Yamaha, they kept Ad Lib's card out of certification until Sound Blaster 16 was in the market. It then continues to talk about reverse-engineering "Sound Blaster-compatible" and so forth. It then continues for a while, even talking about OS/2 at the end of it.
It is definitely worth a view.
Meet Windows Universal Apps, they'll run on anything

Tagged: microsoft, Microsoft Store, windows 10, Windows Universal Apps
Microsoft is really opening up their app store for people to develop software for users to pick up with what they are calling Windows Universal Apps. These apps will run on any Windows device and are not locked into the infamous tile interface once known as Metro. Even more interesting is that you will not need Visual Studio to develop these, you can use assets imported from other available resources to build your app. They also have a simulator to allow you to run your app in full screen while still in development mode as well as allowing you to manage the contents of an app collection without committing a change, giving you a chance to screw up by the numbers without negatively affecting anything outside of your test environment. This could really help grow the Microsoft Store app ecosystem with interesting new applications and of course the inevitable detritus which clutters any and all app stores. Check out the full story at The Inquirer.
"MICROSOFT HAS RELEASED a major update to the Windows App Studio which will allow users to become developers without a lick of code, and without going via Visual Studio."

Actually, Microsoft Wants LESS of Your Data?

Tagged: onedrive, microsoft, cloud storage
They apparently want, at most, 1TB of it.
Last year, almost to the day, I wrote about Microsoft upgrading their 1TB OneDrive offer to unlimited. Granted, I was about a week late in my reporting of their announcement, but the November 2nd publish date is still amusing none-the-less. Regardless, they have reverted this decision. Unlimited plans will be reduced to 1TB, and free plans will be reduced from 15GB to 5GB. The 15GB "camera roll" bonus will also be removed. These changes will take effect in "early 2016".
Officially, the change was prompted by users who stored whole movie collections and DVR recordings to the cloud, using up over 75TB of storage. Interestingly, they say that this is "14,000 times the average". This means that "the average" user stores about 5.4GB of data on OneDrive. Granted, mean values are somewhat skewed by outliers, as the 75TB example suggests. If 14,000 users were on the service, of which only one person used it at all, but that one person put 75TB on it, then the average would be the same. It's a data point nonetheless, though.
After these changes occur, you will have about 12 months before Microsoft will force you to cull the storage that you are using. You just will not be able to add to it until then. Afterwards? Well, I'm not sure how Microsoft will know what is most important to delete. Probably best to do it yourself.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 List Announced
Subject: General Tech | November 3, 2015 - 12:01 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming
Games Done Quick, a charity that speedruns games on video for donations, has just published their list of submissions for their upcoming session. The PC is well represented with its exclusive titles and ports from other platforms. Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 will take place in early January, from the 3rd to the 10th, and raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
The list of "green" games is quite diverse, from Mirror's Edge to Alien Swarm, Shovel Knight, Super Meat Boy, Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and Half Life 2. The previous event, Summer Games Done Quick 2015, supported Doctors Without Borders and brought in $1,233,844.10 USD. The Winter events tend to do a little better, though. Maybe this one can cross $2 million?
If you're interested, check out the list.

- Car hire: optional
- Nearest beach: 15km
- Nearest bar: 100m
- Nearest restaurant: 15km
- Nearest supermarket: 15km

Villa Callisto is an outstanding 3 bedroom villa in a spectacular bay 2 mins walk from sandy beach and restaurants. Fabulous sea view and swimming pool.
Villa Callisto is a well equipped and sumptuous villa comfortably catering for 6 people in 3 bedrooms or 8 people using a sofa bed in the lounge.
Ground Floor
The lounge opens out onto a patio by means of large corner sliding doors and offers a fabulous view of the bay of Kucukbuk.
The area can be cooled by means of a ceiling fan or a second outside door which allows a breeze to flow through. A dining table in the lounge seats 6 and can be extended further if necessary. Another 6 seater dining table on the patio makes outdoor eating an easy option. The lounge also sports a sofa-bed corner unit which can sleep a further 2 guests
if necessary.
A separate kitchen serves the lounge by means of a serving hatch and contains an oven with hob, large fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and a full set of crockery, cutlery and essential utensils. The ground floor also features a twin bedroom, separate toilet and washing machine.
First Floor
A round stairwell leads up to the first floor where the master bedroom offers a magnificent sea view by means of the same style patio doors as the lounge which lead onto a balcony. An en suite bathroom features a large shower, hand basin and toilet.
The hallway leads to the main bathroom, very spacious and offering a jacuzzi with shower, large mirrored basin with drawers, and toilet.
A third bedroom features a double bed with access to the first floor balcony. A full set of towels and linen is provided for all rooms.
Roof Terrace
The stairs continue up to the roof terrace which offers a fabulous view of the sea, the beach and whole Kucukbuk bay area.
The terrace is partly sheltered and well-furnished with tables and chairs, sun loungers and soft cushions. Bar stools align a work surface with sink and bar area.
The villa directly overlooks the pool to which it has easy access.
The pool is large and shallow in all areas (c. 1.6 metres).
There is a separate paddling area for young children.
The villa is on a site of 12 villas and has its own parking space
near the entrance to the site. A site manager lives within the grounds and is available to help
with any queries.
The villa is located just a five minute walk from the beach in the beautiful bay of Kucukbuk (meaning literally "little bay" and pronounced "koo-chook-book" except the "oo" sound should be short like a "u"). Despite new villas having been recently built in the area, sites are still separated sparsely enough to show plenty of natural greenery. The beach is sandy and has several restaurants which, in the evening allow you to dine on the beach or on the wooden jetties which protrude into the sea.
Kucukbuk is on the outskirts of the larger bay and village of Gundogan (pronounced "Goon-dhwan"). Gundogan is a 20 walk or 5 min drive and offers a greater selection of restaurants and shops, within a larger bay. Despite this, the village is largely unspoilt and has a rural feel with locals herding their cows through the streets and selling their home grown produce. Seafood is a speciality on the waterside restaurants and you will often see local fishermen selling their catches of the day directly to the restaurants. Gundogan also caters for many watersports such as sailing and windsurfing, and boat trips operate from here visiting local islands and bays further along the coast. (You can arrange to have them pick you up at Kucukbuk if you ask.)
Yalikavak is a 15 minute drive away and offers a good shopping street, a marina, beach, bars and restaurants. On the road between Gundogan and Yalikavak are two major supermarkets, Gima and Migros, where you can stock up on provisions.
At Ortakent (half-way between Yalikavak and Bodrum) is a large water park. It is opposite the KIPA hypermarket which is part of the Tesco chain and sells many well known Tesco products as well as local and international brands. Gumbet and Bodrum are only 30 minutes away for those want the busy night life and bustling resorts.
Also look out for the markets, typically the Turgutreis one on Saturdays. Yalikavak is usually on Thurdays and Gundogan on Wednesdays. There are no fixed prices so don't forget to haggle.
Hiring a car is the easiest way to get around, but you can manage without one. If you're staying for a few weeks you may like to save some money and shed the car for some of the time and use the local dolmas, or mini-bus service, which operates cheaply and efficiently throughout the peninsula. Yellow taxis are good for short journeys but can add up a bit on longer ones. Many people hitch around the area and it is not uncommon for lifts to be offered by drivers who are going the same way as you.

Facts and myths about anti-aging
Jun 13, 2012, 6 a.m.
The old saying, "Life begins at 40," has been replaced with "40 is the new 30." Men are living longer and with good reason. The secret to the fountain of youth is not in a number, or an active sex drive, or the age of a wife or girlfriend.
Anti-aging secrets depend on how the individual views aging, and there are a few anti-aging tips that have been proven successful and increase longevity. According to a popular website, research has linked aging in people over 50 with their perception of age. If you feel old or think like you are old, it could reduce your lifespan by up to 7.5 years.
One of the best thing a man can do to retain youthfulness is eat well. Consume fruits, vegetables and whole grains everyday. Drink up to eight glasses of water each day or more if you are active or work outside. Dehydration and poor diet will rob your body of essential ingredients needed to stay healthy and cause premature aging.
Begin regular exercise programs. Exercise will slow the aging process, increase stamina, build muscle and bone density, and is heart healthy. According The American Heart Association, two to three comprehensive exercise programs a week will increase vitality.
An anti-aging regimen should also include increasing the amount of antioxidants in a man's diet. Dark-colored vegetables for the carotenoids and berries for flavonoids. Antioxidants work synergistically and could reduce chances of life-threatening diseases. In addition, make sure to consume 200-250 mg of vitamin C and 100-400 IU of vitamin E each day.
Most men never consider skin treatments to keep a youthful appearance, but they are not just for women. More men are turning to cosmetic procedures for younger appearances. Many options are available, including facials, exfoliation treatments or laser resurfacing. However, the secrets to staying young are not in a cosmetic cream alone, but mostly, in your own mind and how well you take care of your body.

Most Shimano stuff don't have replaceable parts or for that matter can not be service . The best you can do is find another junk hub like your and use parts from it . Or replace the wheel or hub .
Since they list parts, they should be available.....
"Retirement is the best job I ever had!" Me, 2009
Specialized Crosstrail Sport - '08
Nishiki Sport - misappropriated from my youngest son (circa 1984)
Marin Stinson - misappropriated by my youngest grandson - '01
"The Beast" - 1990 Schwinn Airdyne (in the basement for winter torture)
IMO, it's never necessary to replace an entire wheel when only the hub has failed, although one might want to for other reasons.
i would first contact, by phone is best, shimano and ask if the shoes are available for a nexus 7 hub and go from there. the alternative, asking someone at an LBS for that type of information, has often been less than satisfactory. best to try to contact someone on the phone or a "chat" line.
BTW, i'm impressed anyone has put enough miles on a nexus 7 hub to really wear out the shoes. congratulations! i have to say that i would be wondering about how the shell is holding up...

I will contact Shimano and I will let you know.
I think in the worst case I will have a less efficient break (I have an independent one on my front wheel) in the back. Since I removed the floating broken part, it is better.
pretty much any bike shop can order from shimano direct. shimano in the bike world does not deal directly with customers
Thanks to ebay, the replacement part is on the way. I will keep you posted.
good to hear you found what you were looking for.

Warranty Informationadidas' warranty obligations indicated by the provided warranty card are limited to the terms set forth below.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights in addition which may vary from country to country and even from state to state. These rights will not be limited by the terms of this Warranty Information.
adidas guarantees to the original final consumer that the miCoach product and its included or separately available miCoach accessories will be free from defects in materials or workmanship, under normal use, for a period of 1 ("one") year from the date of purchase. Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase and return this with your product.
If your miCoach product is proven defective and a valid claim is received within the warranty period, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, adidas will either

Important Information on Your Workouts with miCoach
The advice and workout plans prepared by qualified, responsible coaches are based on the latest scientific and technical research. However, they do not constitute a medical consultation and cannot replace medical advice.
Before you start working out, you should get a medical checkup. Please be aware that any communication with miCoach occurs exclusively over the Internet and that we are not completely familiar with your individual physical characteristics and health. Also, any information you provide may not fully reflect the state of your health.
It is therefore important that you warm up and stretch before each workout and that you use common sense while running: Do not go over the top when exercising! If you experience any pain, feel weak, dizzy or exhausted or become short of breath, immediately stop your workout. When you work out, you assume all inherent risks.
Important Information on Using Earbuds or Headphones
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level.
You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
- Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.
- Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
- Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.

- Licensee acknowledges that this is only a limited nonexclusive license. adidas is and remains the owner of all titles, rights, and interests in the Software.
- This License permits Licensee to install the Software on more than one computer sys-tem, as long as the Software will not be used on more than one computer system simultaneously. Licensee will not make copies of the Software or allow copies of the Software to be made by others, unless authorized by this License Agreement. Licen-see may make copies of the Software for backup purposes only.
- This Software is subject to a limited warranty. adidas warrants to Licensee that the physical medium on which this Software is distributed is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, the Software will perform according to its printed documentation, and to the best of adidas's knowledge Licensee's use of this Soft-ware according to the printed documentation is not an infringement of any third party's intellectual property rights.

To the extent permitted by law, THE ABOVE-STATED LIMITED WARRANTY REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ADIDAS DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. No agent of adidas is authorized to make any other warran-ties or to modify this limited warranty. Any action for breach of this limited warranty must be commenced within one year of the expiration of the warranty. Because some jurisdictions do not allow any limit on the length of an implied warranty, the above limi-tation may not apply to this Licensee. If the law does not allow disclaimer of implied warranties, then any implied warranty is limited to 90 days after delivery of the Soft-ware to Licensee. Licensee has specific legal rights pursuant to this warranty and, de-pending on Licensee's jurisdiction, may have additional rights.
- In case of a breach of the Limited Warranty, Licensee's exclusive remedy is as fol-lows: Licensee will return all copies of the Software to adidas, at Licensee's cost, along with proof of purchase. At adidas's option, adidas will either send Licensee a replacement copy of the Software, at adidas's expense, or issue a full refund.

Li-censee's jurisdiction may not allow such a limitation of damages, so this limitation may not apply.
- Licensee agrees to defend and indemnify adidas and hold adidas harmless from all claims, losses, damages, complaints, or expenses connected with or resulting from Licensee's business operations.
- adidas has the right to terminate this License Agreement and Licensee's right to use this Software upon any material breach by Licensee.
- Licensee agrees to return to adidas or to destroy all copies of the Software upon ter-mination of the License.
- adidas may provide to Licensee certain software which is specifically labeled as being provided by and/or owned by third parties.

Any such third party agreements are supplied with such third party materials, either electronically in a "license.txt" file in the root directory of the installation media, or the subdirectory in the installation media containing the third party materials, or in some cases in paper form.
Certain of the third party materials supplied by adidas for use with the Software are governed by open-source software license agreements supplied with such third party materials, such as the GNU Lesser General Public License. adidas makes no claim of ownership of such open-source software, and such software is supplied solely in ac-cordance with the license agreements accompanying such software. Accordingly, the restrictions above concerning scope of use, ownership, modification, and other provi-sions relating to the Software may not apply to such open-source software. However, the disclaimer of warranty (but not the Limited Warranty) and limitations of liability in this agreement do apply to such third party materials.
- This License Agreement (including any third party agreements referred to herein and delivered in connection with the Software as described herein) is the entire and exclu-sive agreement between adidas and Licensee regarding this Software. This License Agreement replaces and supersedes all prior negotiations, dealings, and agreements between adidas and Licensee regarding this Software.

At first you may not have any symptoms from heart failure. For a while, your heart and body can make up for heart failure. For example, your heart can pump faster and pump more blood with each beat. This is called compensation.
But as your heart has more trouble pumping enough blood to your body, you will likely have symptoms. These symptoms may get worse or change if your heart failure gets worse.

Living With Advanced Heart Failure
There's no cure for congestive heart failure -- not yet anyway. But if you or a loved one is among the 5.8 million Americans living with heart failure, even if it's advanced, you should know that simple self-care measures can effectively help curb fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and other symptoms. In addition to improving their quality of life, heart failure patients who practice good self-care are less likely to wind up in the hospital. "Heart failure is a progressive disease, but the...
Read the Living With Advanced Heart Failure article > >
Symptoms of heart failure start to happen when your heart can't pump enough blood to the rest of your body. In the early stages, you may:
- Feel tired easily.
- Be short of breath when you exert yourself.
- Feel like your heart is pounding or racing (palpitations).
- Feel weak or dizzy.
As heart failure gets worse, fluid starts to build up in your lungs and other parts of your body. This may cause you to:
- Feel short of breath even at rest.
- Have swelling (edema), especially in your legs, ankles, and feet.
- Gain weight. This may happen over just a day or two, or more slowly.
- Cough or wheeze, especially when you lie down.
- Need to urinate more at night.
- Feel bloated or sick to your stomach.
How doctors talk about heart failure
Heart failure is grouped-or classified-according to symptoms. Your treatment is based partly on what class of symptoms you have.
There's also another way to define heart failure. It's based on the stages you might go through as your heart failure gets worse. Your doctor also may make treatment choices based on your stage of heart failure.
Symptoms of sudden heart failure
Sometimes your symptoms may get worse very quickly. This is called sudden heart failure. It causes fluid to build up in your lungs, causing congestion. (This is why the problem is often called congestive heart failure.) Symptoms may include:
- Severe shortness of breath.
- An irregular or fast heartbeat.
- Coughing up foamy, pink mucus.
Sudden heart failure is an emergency. You need care right away.
