![]() ![]() One that makes it far easier to use Windows devices and Android phones with the seamlessness that makes you not feel envious of that fruit phone company. As such we would definitely say Nearby Share should be your new default. Shareit barely works well right off the bat while Xshare can just crash depending on which PC you use. Shareit and Xshare have Windows versions too. And Nearby Share isn’t the first product of its kind on the Android and Windows side either. Logging into my Google Account for the first time for example, gave me some errors, but upon a second try it worked. That being said, being a beta level program, Nearby Share on Windows does have a few hiccups. Speeds are crazy fast, which helps with those huge video files you may keep on your phone, and as we already said, this is an Apples to Apples match with well, Apple and their solution. Then you just drag a file into the app when it’s open ,or right click and select Send with Nearby Share the options that pop up, once that’s done select the device you want to send it to and voila. ![]() You should of course make sure the WIFI and Bluetooth on your PC are turned on, even if you’re not connected to any WIFI network. You can sign in to your Google account if you wish to better detect your own devices, but if you’ve ever used Nearby Share on a phone it’s essentially the same gist. The installation will need an internet connection and is about 60mb, but once it finishes you’re good to go. Double-click the BetterTogetherSetup.exe file to begin the installation. Click Here You then go on to Download Google’s Nearby Share Beta for Windows. Started as a project by Google called “Better Together” in January, Nearby Share for Google is available at the link below. And our conclusion? Yeah you can stop being jealous of AirDrop. Sure Google had the feature working on Chromebooks, but the majority of people still don’t use those, which is why when Google announced that a beta release of Nearby Share for Windows, we couldn’t wait to test it. A peer-to-peer networking API that allows apps to easily discover, connect to, and exchange data with nearby devices in real-time, regardless of network. However the one thing that was stopping it from being a true AirDrop competitor (as Apple’s solution shares files across phones, tablets, Macs and so on), is a PC component. Google’s Nearby Share, aka their answer to Apple’s AirDrop, is an awesome tool we’ve covered before as a much better (and safer) alternative to ShareIt, allowing users to share large files wirelessly between devices in minutes if not seconds sometimes. Devices that you’re transferring files between have to be within 16 feet of each other.The best way to share files between your Phone and PC Once you have set up the functionality, you will be able to drag a file into the app or right-click it and select the Nearby Share option to send it to a device near you. Users must enable their PC’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions in order to use Nearby Share for Windows. “We’ll continue to work on Nearby Share for Windows, adding new functionality and listening to your feedback.” “To make sharing between Android devices and PCs even more seamless, we’re working with partners like HP to include the Nearby Share app on select Windows PCs, such as the HP Dragonfly Pro,” Google wrote in a blog post. There is also now an image preview within device notifications to help you confirm that the correct file is being shared. ![]() The company has added the estimated time for file transfers to be completed, so you can get an understanding of how quickly large files like videos or entire folders will be shared. With today’s official release, Google is adding new improvements to the Nearby Share for Windows app. The tech giant says the beta version has been installed by more than 1.7 million people, and that it has seen over 50 million files transferred between PC and Android devices since launch. A PC version of the app has been in beta since March 2023, and is now officially available. Nearby Share makes its easier to share files across your phones, tablets, Chromebooks and more devices. ![]() Google announced today that its Nearby Share app for Windows PCs is now officially available. ![]() ![]() ![]() Customizable parts and new space-flight technology: In Kerbal Space Program 2, the astoundingly inventive creations that KSP is known for will be taken to a whole new level.New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight interfaces allow both experienced and novice players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game.

![]() ![]() One other thing: support! ) It's extremely good. If you downloaded EditPad Lite, by all means, get the Pro trial, it's worth it. ![]() I hope when you say, "just downloaded the free trial", you're meaning the 30-day trial of EditPad Pro. The Tools section is phenomenal, Extras is a great potpourri of useful functions, Convert addresses conversions you won't find elsewhere, and Options (saving the best for last) gives the user a lot of power over how EditPad will run. There is much, much more, but it's easier to just say, ".explore!" than to go on enumerating. * The richness of EditPad's search function is so great that it has its own menu on the menubar, others have Find/Replace under the Edit menu. * EditPad's "Project" function is not a common offering in other editors. * EditPad Pro has many features beyond copy/cut/paste using the system clipboard. * Most editors have only the barest copy/cut/paste. * Saving an edit session state, or any part thereof, is not common in most editors/RADs/IDEs. * Being able to access files by "Reopen", "Favorites", and "Template" is a pretty unique feature of EditPad. What does one do if they want to change the name/location? * Most editors have only 2 save options: Save or Save As. * Many editors come without the ability to open multiple files, much less projects. I know of no other Windows based editor that has the depth and breadth of scope of EditPad. At the other end of the spectrum, you can configure it to be, say, an all purpose IDE. You can use it in a completely mundane, NotePad fashion (albeit, EditPad has more functionality) to simply edit text. I've been using EditPad Pro for years, and the quote from the website is accurate (my opinion). I've only just downloaded the free trial, but a simple search here at DC reveals several positive reviews and remarks about this editor. Like the topic title says, the EditPad Pro editor is available at a discount (61%: you pay just below $20) on December 18.Ī Powerful, Flexible, and Convenient Text Editor (And Word Processor) Over now - but anyone notice that Backup4All is on 22nd December for $22.47 (46% discount) Just to follow-up for anyone wondering where the discount is: Other Software > Found Deals and DiscountsĮditPad Pro discounted at Bits du Jour on December 18 ATTENTION: You are viewing a page formatted for mobile devices to view the full web page, click HERE. ![]() ![]() In 2018, the Electronic Frontier Foundation documented how Tumblr struggled with automated content removal of posts that did not violate its adult content ban. Banning the content caused mass protests, including top creators, who then also complained that Tumblr's content filtering was incorrectly targeting and deleting their posts. Forbes reported that, although fewer than 1 percent of its user base produced adult content, consumers of that content comprised a quarter of Tumblr's users. Tumblr decided it couldn't afford to be dropped by Apple and issued a blanket ban on adult content. When Tumblr banned adult content in 2018, it was partly because problems with child sexual abuse materials led Apple to ban the app from its store. The next step, Tumblr said, was welcoming “a broader range of expression, creativity, and art on Tumblr, including content depicting the human form (yes, that includes the naked human form).” AdvertisementĪccording to Tumblr, users can now label content as “mature” or having “sexual themes,” and users who do not wish to see that type of content can adjust their feed. These labels allow users to set preferences to restrict specific content from their feeds. Tumblr users got a hint this change was coming when Tumblr introduced community labels in September. And other tweets reacting to Tumblr’s announcement received just as many likes simply out of enthusiasm for the return of nudity on Tumblr, seemingly indicating that some of the users who fled Tumblr when it banned adult content in 2018 would be willing to come back. However, it appears Tumblr’s decision could lure Twitter users away.Įarlier this year, The New Yorker reported that Tumblr was already attracting a younger demographic that other social platforms like Facebook and Twitter want to attract. Tweets garnering tens of thousands of likes may be joking when they call Tumblr’s recent announcement-confirming that it would no longer restrict content featuring “nudity, mature subject matter, or sexual themes”-a “death blow” to Twitter, which many users are already threatening to abandon. Genetic - will be merged with ea skintones and is accurate in terms of genetics (offsprings can have an ea skintone)! unfortunately, offsprings can also have a random undertone.At a time when Elon Musk has just begun fiddling with Twitter’s knobs in attempts to make it more money, the possibility that Tumblr could rise back up as a profitable social media giant simply by allowing some users to post nude pics again is a prospect that has left many Twitter users nakedly giddy. doesn’t work accurately in terms of genetics! choose this if you just want an ‘organized’ arrangement! if there’s anything wrong, please let me know!Ģ versions: per undertone / genetic (you can’t put in both).added a slight tint to the lips! used stuck on you skintone #12 as base for the skintones since it had a lip color that i really liked.tanned and burned states were created using Cmar’s ts4 skin converter! if there are any issues, please message me!.each skintone has been adjusted accordingly! feel free to change it using Cmar’s ts4 skininator or sims4studio! i tried bumping the opacity up for every skintone to the max, but it was too vibrant and doesn’t work very well especially with blushes. ![]()
![]() ![]() Trunks allow the traffic from multiple VLANS to travel over a single link, while keeping the VLAN identification and segmentation intact. VLAN trunks are used to span VLANs across multiple devices. In general, VLANs make it easier to design a network to support the goals of an organization. VLANs can also be used as a security measure by controlling which hosts can communicate. Modern switches use virtual local-area networks (VLANs) to improve network performance by separating large Layer 2 broadcast domains into smaller ones.

I think that’s an important part of being a team.” In the meantime be a great teammate, help us in practice. That’s all … right now they’re not in the rotation but be ready, you could be thrown into the rotation at any time. When another opportunity comes, be ready. But we’re always going to put what we feel is best for the team first. So there’s a lot of sacrifices that need to be made by a team. What gives our team the best chance?” Thibodeau said after practice in Tarrytown. ![]() The Knicks declined to make him available to the media after Tuesday’s practice. Reddish also missed three late-November games with a groin injury, but he was held scoreless in nine minutes in Saturday’s home loss to Dallas before getting benched on Sunday. Reddish, who was acquired for a first-round draft pick from Atlanta in January, had appeared in the Knicks’ first 19 games, including eight starts, while Quentin Grimes was in and out of the lineup with a foot injury suffered in training camp. ![]() I’m good.” Derrick Rose, right, said his sitting had nothing to do with back-to-back games. Nobody talked to me today about anything. So I understood,” said Rose, who then was asked if he was under the impression the switch was a one-game thing. But the 35-year-old point guard said after Tuesday’s practice that wasn’t what his longtime NBA coach told him. Thibodeau had said after Sunday’s game that sitting Rose - who had missed two games on the previous road trip with a toenail issue - was based on it being the tail end of a back-to-back. Neither Reddish nor Rose got off the bench in Sunday’s win over the Cavs - the team’s second in their last nine games at MSG - with second-year guard Miles McBride playing 15 minutes within a reduced nine-man rotation. And that seems likely to continue, at least for now, in Wednesday’s matchup against Trae Young and the Hawks at the Garden. Tom Thibodeau often describes his rotation decisions as fluid situations largely dependent on what he believes is needed for a specific game.īased on Sunday’s home win over Cleveland, guards Cam Reddish and Derrick Rose were the latest to be dropped from the Knicks’ rotation. Knicks legend vows to give Adam Silver a ‘mouthful’ over alleged All-Star game snub Giannis Antetokounmpo opened a door to leave the Bucks.

But it likely has less to do with the Knicks - if they were out dominating the polls, Julius Randle would be a far more deserving candidate yet he was snubbed.įans are presumably giving Rose some love as a legacy candidate, which makes sense. Haliburton plays for a much smaller market in Indiana than Rose does in New York. Haliburton, meanwhile, has already exceeded 13 points in 31 games and he has only failed to reach 6 assists in two of his 37 appearances. ![]() Rose has yet to exceed more than 13 points or 6 assists in a single game thus far. He is averaging 20.6 points per game and he is leading the league with 10.2 assists per game. Haliburton, however, is one of the game’s most promising rising stars both on and off the court. Wally Szczerbiak has already done enough of that for the Knicks and the Pacers in one season, and one would assume that Haliburton is enough of a student of the game to have a reverence for Rose. This argument is not meant to create a wedge between Haliburton and Rose. Lakers’ LeBron James and Nets’ Kevin Durant lead the NBA’s first 2022-23 All-Star fan voting returns: /ObI4WQjnuH But during the games, there is little value that he has provided to his team. There is little doubt that Rose’s veteran leadership has helped in the locker room. The former MVP has not yet made any appearance in the starting lineup and he is averaging a career-low 5.8 points and 1.8 assists per game. Rose has played less than 20 percent of all possible minutes for New York in 2022-23. But this is egregious and NBA fans ought to be embarrassed by themselves.ĭespite barely contributing to the Knicks so far this season, for some reason, Rose currently has nearly as many All-Star votes among Eastern Conference guards as Tyrese Haliburton. Let’s not take anything away from Derrick Rose’s professional career. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can find soil test kits at your local gardening stores.
