![]() That is, instead of pressing F9 to open Mission Control, you could simply tap the Shift key. These pop-up menus also contain choices like Left Shift, which refers to the Shift key on the left side of your keyboard. That’s how you can make Shift-F1 trigger Mission Control, for example. If, while the pop-up menu is open, you press one or more of your modifier keys (Shift, Option, Control, or ⌘), all these F-key choices change to reflect the key you’re pressing now the pop-up menu says Shift-F1, Shift-F2, Shift-F3, and so on. Within each pop-up menu, for example, you’ll discover that all your F-keys-F1, F2, F3, and so on-are available as triggers. The other three-“Application windows,” “Show Desktop,” and “Show Dashboard”-correspond to the three functions of the older Exposé and Dashboard features, described later in this chapter. The first, Mission Control, lets you specify how you want to open Mission Control. To view your options, choose →System Preferences and then click the Mission Control icon. You can reassign the Mission Control functions to a huge range of other keys, with or without modifiers like Shift, Control, and Option. Mission Control combines all three of those features-Exposé, Spaces, and Dashboard-into one. Now, if you’ve ever used earlier versions of OS X, you may remember three other window-management features: Exposé, which also served to shrink windows so you could find them Spaces, which provided virtual side-by-side monitors and Dashboard, which presented a gaggle of tiny, single-purpose apps on a single screen. It’s fast, efficient, animated, and a lot of fun. You click the window or program you want, and you’re there. Now you feel like an air-traffic controller, with all your screens arrayed before you. The concept is delicious: With one mouse click, keystroke, or finger gesture, you shrink all windows in all programs to a size that fits on the screen ( Figure 4-8), like index cards on a bulletin board, clumped by open program. Mission Control tackles this problem in a fresh way. You’ll have to fight your way through 50,000 other windows on your way to the bottom of the “deck.” And heaven help you if you need to duck back to the desktop-to find a newly downloaded file, for example, or to eject a disk. Off you go, burrowing through the microscopic pop-up menus of your Dock, trying to find the window you want. ![]() These days, however, managing all the open windows in all the open programs can be like herding cats. (Apple borrowed this idea-well, bought it in a stock swap-from a research lab called Xerox PARC.) In that era before digital cameras, MP3 files, and the Web, managing windows was easy this way after all, you had only about three of them. In its day, the concept of overlapping windows on the screen was brilliant, innovative, and extremely effective. ![]() Not that he didn’t succeed in remaking the Comedy Central mainstay closer to his own image: the current iteration of the series is flashier and fleeter than it was in the Stewart years, with an audience that skews younger and more diverse. Noah concluded his seven-year run at “The Daily Show” this week, to the end an awkward fit for a role that, admittedly, was near-impossible to fill. (Many of his cross-cultural anecdotes are self-deprecating, but, when he tells the story of an incident in Indonesia that involves a snake show gone awry, he is relatably self-righteous about not getting too close to the stage, “because, you see, as a Black person, culturally, I’m trying to not die.”) The journey continues in his most recent special, the relatively anemic “I Wish You Would,” released last month, which builds to a story about the time he “Trudeau’d”-i.e., embarrassed himself by displaying an over-eagerness to embrace the trappings of a culture not his own, à la the Canadian Prime Minister-while ordering food at an Indian restaurant in Scotland. Their most memorable moments add up to a travelogue: meeting Black Americans who romanticize “the motherland” of Africa, trying tacos for the first time, feeling guilty about taking part in “poverty porn” while vacationing in Bali. Noah’s first two Netflix specials, released after he took over as host of “The Daily Show” the following year, fleshed out his stage persona as that of a boundlessly curious globe-trotter. Later in the segment, he pictured an African mother chiding, “Be grateful for what you have, because there are fat children starving in Mississippi.” Noah, who already enjoyed a large following outside of the U.S., wielded his origins to critique Western assumptions about his native continent (that it’s “one giant village full of AIDS, huts, and starving children”) and to deflate American exceptionalism. ![]() On his first appearance on “The Daily Show,” in late 2014, the program’s host at the time, Jon Stewart, emphasized the South African comedian’s background when presenting him as the series’ newest correspondent. Trevor Noah was introduced to Stateside viewers as an outsider-a foreign observer who could see America more clearly than it could see itself. ![]() Universal couldn’t have asked for a better year in Mexico. Universal Pictures Shatters Mexico’s Single-Year Box-Office Record Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Lord Escapes From Prison Again, Spurs Media Frenzy Ridley Scott has already announced plans for a movie version. That caused a media circus as homegrown and international outlets covered the news. In a scene ripped straight from a screenplay, El Chapo busted out of a maximum-security prison via an elaborate - and air conditioned - tunnel. If anything topped the media frenzy surrounding the Beresford-Redman trial, it was when TV news networks headed south following the dramatic prison break of infamous Mexican narco Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

The family also has criticized two movies about Beresford-Redman that aired on Lifetime, one of which it called a “sick-making” dramatization. Beresford-Redman’s family called the verdict a gross miscarriage of justice, and the defense has filed an appeal. He was sentenced to 12 years in a Mexican prison. He also got the best cinematography trophy in 2013 for Gravity, directed by fellow Mexican Alfonso Cuaron.įormer ‘ Survivor’ Producer Found Guilty of Wife’s MurderĪfter a drawn-out trial, former Survivor producer Bruce Beresford-Redman was found guilty in March 2015 of the 2010 murder of his wife Monica Burgos in Cancun.

Each of the buttons has three settings (single press, double press, long press), which you program using the Home app on iOS devices-the Stage Scene Controller is currently only compatible with Apple devices and HomeKit. ![]() The Wemo Stage Scene Controller with Thread is a three-button wireless remote switch that is standard size and so can be installed into a bank of paddle-style switches. When installed solo it looks much more normal. ![]() The only misgiving I have is that the remote and wall plate are noticeably larger than standard American wall plates, so if you have a bank of switches it can’t be integrated and instead has to be stuck to the wall beside them. The switch is attractive, and it doesn’t look gadgety. Hue is a reliable platform and is fully compatible with all the major smart control systems (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings). Setting it up with bulbs and the Hue fixtures mentioned above was simple and worked predictably (once you figure out that you have to go into the Accessories part of the Hue app). For instance, you could program it so that if you press it once your lights come up at one brightness level and color temperature, a second press triggers another setting, and so on. It has a large power button at the top, a dimmer rocker switch in the middle, and a Hue button at the bottom which can be programmed to trigger up to five lighting settings. Several models and styles of wireless switches are available, though many of them are proprietary and only work with a specific lighting brand, so you have to get the switch that matches your system.įor Hue lighting, the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch is a clean-looking, flat remote switch that attaches magnetically to a custom wall plate (you can remove it from the wall to use like a portable remote). (For a deeper dive see our guide to the best smart LED bulbs, as well as the best smart outdoor lighting.)Ī smart wireless switch mounts to your wall and works a lot like a traditional wall switch-though with way more features-and enables you to turn a light on and off and adjust your lighting without fear of throwing a wrench in your smart-home utopia. It also works best with a Hue Hub and can be tuned to any of millions of colors or tones of white, from 2,000 K to 6,500 K. The Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Slim Downlight has a flat lens surface and can simply be inserted into a hole in your ceiling and connected to power without needing a can or junction box. You can tune the light quality from warm 2,200 K to blazing white 6,500 K. You set it up and control it using the Hue app (more on that below) and should have a Hue Hub on your Wi-Fi network in order for it to be automated and remotely controllable. The Philips Hue White Ambiance 4″ Retrofit Recessed Downlight is a tunable white retrofit fixture that mimics the look of a curved PAR-style bulb and inserts easily into a 4-inch can-style ceiling light receptacle (it has flexible tabs that grab onto the receptacle to keep it secure). ![]() That makes them seamless in your home, but, as already noted, a potential source of conflict. Philips makes smart ceiling fixtures that have the same benefits of the company’s bulbs but lay flat against a ceiling and connect to your existing wall switches. Like lamps, in-ceiling fixtures and can-style ceiling lights are also easily upgradeable to smart lights. Hesitation over using an app to control it shouldn’t keep you from reaping the rewards of smart lights. The Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 Starter Kit, one of our long-standing picks, makes wielding that power easy. Smart bulbs allow you to harness that power by tuning the color temperature to whatever inspires you at any given time, from bright daylight to warm candlelight and from, in the case of color bulbs, millions of tints. If you have bought an LED bulb only to discover it makes everyone in the room look seasick or makes once vibrant rooms seem yellow and dingy, you understand that lighting has a lot of psychological power. If you have hesitated to adopt smart lighting, or this particular technological scenario is already a plague upon your home, low-cost wireless smart switches can fix that and bring peace to all parties. I have found salvation via a simple solution. Alas, a smart house divided cannot stand. ![]() Personal confession: Some members of my household regularly trigger a smart-home meltdown by flipping off the switches that power all the smart lighting, rendering them, well, stupid. Smart-home confession: It can be tedious to have to consult a phone or smart speaker just so you can turn off smart lights (there, I said it). 635k videosHairy 1m videosHandjob 6m videosHardcore 209k videosHentai 621k videosHuge Cocks 16k videosIncest 1.3m videosInterracial 1m videosJapanese 3.1m videosJerking Off 1.1m videosLatina 227k videosLatino 2.1m videosLesbian 469k videosLingerie 2.9m videosMasturbation 1.3m videosMatures 2.6m videosMILFs 548k videosMuscled Guys 291k videosOil 501k videosOrgy 759k videosOutdoor 148k videosPantyhose 43k videosPoint of View 1.3m videosPornstars 1.6m videosPOV 88k videosPregnant 945k videosPublic 302k videosPussylicking 741k videosRedhead 13k videosRedheads 325k videosRubbing 1.2m videosSex Toys 119k videosShemales and Gi. 29k videosAlt 8m videosAmateur 1.3m videosAmateurs 3.4m videosAnal 2.1m videosAsian 503k videosAss-Butts 1k videosAssjob 139k videosAsslicking 582k videosBarebacking 761k videosBBW 635k videosBDSM 172k videosBears 109k videosBikini 88k videosBisexuals 64k videosBizarre 3.3m videosBlondes 6.4m videosBlowjob 977k videosBlowjobs 3.3m videosBrunettes 192k videosBukkake 3.4m videosBusty 17k videosCameltoe 104k videosCartoons 137k videosCelebrities 421k videosClose-ups 10k videosCompilations 833k videosCreampie 2.3m videosCumshots 264k videosDads 534k videosDeepthroat 1.1m videosDoggystyle 346k videosDomination 211k videosDP 41k videosDrunk 1.9m videosEbony 599k videosEmo 1.2m videosFacials 29k videosFeature 308k videosFemdom 1.4m videosFetish 1.3m videosFingering 293k videosFisting 170k videosFoot fetish 154k videosFootjob 119k videosFoursome 5k videosFutanari 542k videosGangbang 115k videosGlory hole 43k videosGloryholes 66k videosGonzo 230k videosGrannies 789k videosGroup sex 88k videosGuys Fucking Sh. The Ninth Circuit later affirmed the class certification decision in 2019, agreeing that BIPA protects concrete privacy interests and violations of the procedures in BIPA actually harm those privacy interests. Subsequently, Judge Donato denied competing motions for summary judgment because of unresolved factual disputes over whether Facebook's technology actually collects and stores scans of the "face geometry" of users. Class members could rely on common proof to show that they were harmed by Facebook's collection of their biometric information because pleading of some additional "actual injury" other than violation of the statute was unnecessary. In 2018, Judge Donato denied Facebook's motion to dismiss and certified the class, finding that BIPA vested in Illinois residents the right to control their biometric information by requiring notice before collection and the ability to withhold consent, which codified a right of privacy in personal biometric information.Ĭonsequently, violation of the procedural rights granted by BIPA necessarily amounts to a concrete injury because it infringes on the privacy rights protected by the statute, and plaintiffs were not required to show any additional "real-world harms" in order to have standing. ![]() The class claims were headed for trial in the wake of significant rulings by the District Court that were upheld on appeal by the Ninth Circuit. The $5 billion FTC settlement followed the agency's complaint that Facebook violated broad privacy provisions from a 2012 consent decree, including by misrepresenting the extent to which users could control the privacy of their facial-recognition template by implying that users would have to opt-in for the site to use facial recognition, whereas approximately 60 million users were automatically enrolled unless they opted-out. Judge Donato was outspoken in his criticism of the initial deal based on his impression that the plaintiffs' claim that Facebook was reckless in breaching the notice and consent provisions of BIPA, yielding enhanced damages, was potentially viable based on the terms of a settlement Facebook entered into with the Federal Trade Commission in 2019. District Judge James Donato of ND California. The class of Illinois residents was estimated to consist of approximately 6 million members, for whom Facebook's algorithm stored a digital face template based on their facial geometry, making the total potential value of the class claims estimated at between $10 billion and $47 billion.įacebook agreed to pay $650 million to end the BIPA class action, which was up from an initial $550 million settlement deal struck in January 2020 that failed to meet the approval of U.S. BIPA provides a private right of action to Illinois residents "aggrieved" by private entities that collect their biometric data (including retina scans, fingerprints, and face geometry) without complying with the statute's notice and consent requirements.īIPA allows per-violation statutory damages of $1,000 for negligent and $5,000 for reckless or intentional violations of the law. The company described the change as part of a company-wide move to limit the use of facial recognition in its products due to growing societal concerns and the unclear regulatory landscape surrounding use of the technology.įacebook's decision comes after it settled a major class action in February 2021 that alleged the company's facial recognition system violates Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"). DecemFacebook recently announced it is shutting down the facial recognition system used to identify individuals in videos and photographs based on stored face templates on the social network. ![]() Rather stupid and silly (also blind occasionally) enemies make things pretty easy. Weak RPG elements, lack of inventory and character control in places. Takes a lot of RAM to run and is occasionally slow to respond. Cons: - No grand campaign, multiple smaller scenarios instead. Grim and dark though, so steer clear if you like things happy and cheerful. A good amount of scenarios to keep one entertained. Pros: - Action packed with lots of things to do. It isn't perfect, and indeed is missing some staple features of most tactical turn based games. So although it is a bit oddly designed in places, Hard west is a game it is easy to recommend to anyone who likes wild west games. The writing is good though and the game looks and sounds appropriately Wild West. But then again, since you're playing isolated scenarios this isn't really needed I suppose. What I do miss a bit is a leveling process. During your travels you gather cards, which you can combine in your inventory for bonuses. Some are shops, some are battles and some are quest related locations. The world maps are loaded with locations of various kinds. There is no need for inventory management during them, and you will be focused on either killing enemies or using and looting items on the map. There is no direct looting either, so the battles are just battles. But because it is not one large campaign, the RPG part of the game suffers a bit. ![]() As you would expect, the combat is cover-based and there is a large variety of abilities and weapons for you to use. And the game play is pretty good I thought. But you also get to play a mad scientistst and other peculiar people. You get to play settlers trying to protect their families from bandits and other staple western scenarios. But instead of that meticulous tactical western game, Hard West is a less demanding collection of unconnected wild west scenarios, all of them appropriately Oregon Trail-y dark and dismal. But instead of that meticulous tactical western game, Hard West is I was hoping for something a bit more like the old board game, Gunslinger.
