![]() MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL Loudspeakers Reviewed "They have great value, a unique sound,and are a true gateway to the journey that is the audiophile hobby. Combined with the EM C2, EM FX2s, and a Dynamo 1000, it makes one of the finest-performing, most entertaining, drool-worthiest $5,000 home theater speaker systems you can buy…" It’s that rare gem of a speaker that sparkles with a luster that becomes more and more enticing the longer you listen to it. MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL Speaker System "The sound of the ESL is blissfully light and sweet and offers a near-transcendental listening experience. For many listeners, then, the quest for upper-tier sound will begin and end right here, and even jaded audiophiles accustomed to ultra-premium-priced gear will marvel at the sophisticated sound this system delivers." It offers very serious high-end sound quality for only a little more money than some mid-fi systems cost. We consider MartinLogan’s ElectroMotion ESL surround system to be an overachiever of the first rank. MartinLogan Motion FX From 499.99 Each MartinLogan Focus C18 From 4,899. MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL 5.1-Channel Speaker System (TPV 109) "Consider this speaker system if: You want all the sonic goodies: resolution, definition, blazing transient speeds, nuances galore, neutral tonal balance and the ability to play at satisfying volume levels. And when called for, sounds glide from speaker to speaker without you ever knowing where one ends and another begins. From my listening position it felt like there wasn’t a single area of the room left untouched by sound, flooding the no-man’s land between the front and rear speakers with precise, tangible effects. MartinLogan ElectroMotion 5.1 loudspeaker review ".what really seals the deal is the way the system creates such a seamlessly enveloping sound, thanks to the EM-ESL’s dipole design and the EM-FX2’s wide dispersion. And you can add the EM-C2, the EM-FX2 and the subwoofer of your choice for those occasional nights when you want to relax with a movie instead of digging deep into your music collection." If stereo music listening is your priority, I highly recommend these. It gives audiophiles all the things most of us seem to want (huge soundstaging and a dramatic presentation) and all the things we should want but sometimes neglect (like neutral tonal balance and natural sound). ![]() Review: MartinLogan EM-ESL, EM-C2 and EM-FX2 Speakers "I think the EM-ESL is one of the best bargains going in an audiophile music speaker. This coherence is key to its success – the EM-C2, EM-FX2s and Dynamo all fuse tightly with no differences in tone, which is impressive considering how the electrostatic panels work in such a different way to the cones and Folded Motion tweeters used elsewhere." MartinLogan ElectroMotion - Other Speakers Design and Performance "Effects emerge from every part of the room, making it nigh-on impossible to tell where one speaker ends and another begins.

If the saw-tooth signal is greater than the modulation signal, the PWM wave will have a high output and vice versa. The output of the PWM signal depends on the saw-tooth signal’s magnitude. The comparator creates a PWM signal by comparing the two input signals. A sawtooth or non-sinusoidal wave is sent into one input of the comparator and a modulating signal into the other. Working of Pulse Width ModulationĪ comparator can be used to produce a PWM signal. The PWM switching frequency must be high enough such that it does not damage the load, which means that the waveform viewed by the stack must be smooth. PWM is best suited for operating inertial loads including such motors, which are less easily manipulated by this discontinuous switching due to their inertia. It is one of the principal ways, along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT), of decreasing the output of solar panels to that which can be used by a battery. ![]() The higher the overall power provided to the load, the more the switches are on relative to the off times. The mean voltage value supplied to the load is regulated by rapidly switching the supply and load switches on and off. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a technique for decreasing the average power produced by an electronic signal by splitting it up into discrete portions. Read on to learn the meaning of pulse width modulation, its types, advantages, disadvantages and applications. ![]() Initially, JavaScript only provided basic features, but the power of such a programming language on the web was quickly realized, and the continued success of Netscape Navigator was, in no small part, a reflection of that power. In 1995, Brendan Eich, an employee of Netscape Communications, developed what is now known as JavaScript. Innovators at Netscape Communications, producers of the popular Netscape Navigator browser, believed web sites should provide more dynamic material and a programming language would provide a solution. In the early days of the Internet, the web browser provided users with static pages to view information. Hence, the programming language many developers use today to build and interact with web applications is famously known as JavaScript. JavaScript has since become an essential and arguably more important programming language than the one inspiring its name. The Java part of JavaScript was used to inspire interest in the new scripting language, as Java was and still is a very popular programming language additionally the original Netscape browser that included JavaScript was written in Java. JavaScript has no functional relationship with the Java programming language. While JavaScript is aptly named as a scripting language, the first part of the name misleadingly refers to the Java programming language. More specifically, JavaScript is a scripting language, which means (a) traditionally, JavaScript source code is interpreted at runtime and not pre-compiled into byte code and (b) practically, its main purpose is to modify the behavior of another application typically written in a different programming language, in which it is interpreted and run in real time. JavaScript is a programming language enabling developers to interact with the functionality provided by web browsers. We begin by discussing the history of the programming language then we investigate the scope and features of the language and how it applies to chemistry last, an outline of the technical details of the JavaScript programming language is presented to allow those interested in chemistry and cheminformatics to effectively create JavaScript applications. This review investigates the relevance and impact of JavaScript on the chemistry discipline. ![]() As a result, JavaScript is one of the most important programming languages in existence. Today, every computational device, from desktops to laptops to mobile phones and Augmented Reality (AR) devices has essential access to the Internet, and therefore contains a web browser wherein JavaScript can be run. From a crude and basic programming language for creating cheap, gimmicky effects on web pages, it has developed into a ubiquitous and flexible technology where engine performance is regarded as a crowning achievement among browser developers. JavaScript (JS) is a programming language born of the Internet. When the Internet was introduced, society quickly changed, not just in allowing computers to communicate with each other, but by allowing people to communicate with each other, nearly instantaneously from around the world. ![]() Each programming language also has its disadvantages, which is why the rest exist. Each has its advantages, which is why they each exist. Many programming languages have been developed to facilitate instructions to the computer. Programmers have even more advantages, as they can directly communicate with the computer to achieve their desired goals, as opposed to relying on software someone else has created for another purpose. Computers can execute the same operations humans can perform, but far more consistently and at rates far beyond human capability, allowing researchers to investigate numerous hypotheses in short order. Computer literacy is an essential skill for scientists. ![]() Whether that's because of server issues or the more exciting gameplay additions is currently not clear. This is especially interesting, as Fortnite very rarely has any queueing at all, except for musical events like Travis Scott or Ariana Grande. That's when it's working anyway, as some issues prevented me from logging into the game at all a little earlier in the day. Jumping into the game on PC from the Epic Games Launcher gave me a waiting time of more than one hour. It also seems to depend on what platform you're trying to log in from. Logging in from a UK PlayStation account had me waiting 12 minutes to get into the game, while trying to log in from a US account rocketed that number up to an hour. We appreciate everyone's patience and will provide an update when Chapter 3 Season 2 has officially launched."įrom trying to log into the game myself, I can confirm that some queue times are close to an hour-long, although it seems to depend on your location. ![]() Then you can join the queues, but hopefully go after those Diablo 4 open beta rewards too.The official Fortnite Status Twitter account Tweeted about the issue, saying, "We’re continuing to investigate a server issue preventing us from opening up Fortnite game servers for everyone to log-in. ![]() Remember if you want to try your luck at getting into the Diablo 4 Early Access beta, you’ll need to snag a Diablo 4 pre-order. I hope you brought drinks and sandwiches. More on this as we get it but until then waiting it out is your best and only course of action. We’ll know more on this specific code and how to bust it – or, more likely, how long you might have to just wait it out – as we continue to investigate this open beta windows. This is what some of us at WePC, and our sister site VideoGamer have already experienced first a network error popup (shown below), and then, a moment later, a specified code. It looks like the specific error code ‘300202’ is the marker of a problem particularly in terms of getting booted out of the game and back into a queue. Diablo 4 beta queued for login – error codes it’s not one which maintains a falsely high number, or doesn’t go down as quickly as Actual Time itself. And it’s our guess that if you’re seeing this error or wait screen then it probably is down to the usual problem of player capacity.įor what it’s worth, at least, it does seem that the waiting times you see on screen are pretty genuine – i.e. Being open to everyone means the number of players trying to get in is unknown and likely Very Massive. Where as the early access open betas queued for login error messages was a little frustrating – Blizzard and will have largely known the capacity that the servers could hold, and will have also known many codes have been generated per platform and granted out to players – this one was always going to be different. Either way, the best remedy for this is going to be waiting – you just gotta wait it out unfortunately. Time will tell if this then translates into huge queues when trying to get back in after being booted or dropped connection. Despite trying to join ahead of the start time. It looks like those who have tried their luck early – like me – have found themselves already being funnelled into queues. We knew they’d come but they really are already here. If you’re experiencing trouble then you can look at known problems already logged with Blizzard: PC players go here, and console player here. Here’s what we know so far as the open beta begins in earnest. ![]() Is it anything more sinister? Probably not. What exactly is causing it? Is it too many players? Almost certainly. However, we’ve all seen this movie before, and the Diablo team was certainly prepared for this given the huge surge in traffic the beta was going to bring.īut here we are again, trying to explain away these Diablo 4 queued for login errors. Many fans have waited years and years for the next mainline instalment in the behemoth dungeon crawler series, and it’s a shame to be greeted by queue times. The Diablo 4 open beta is here for everyone – but it’s once again brought with it Diablo 4 queued for login trouble and long wait times for would-be players. game launcher is connected to a digital distribution platform (Steam, Epic. ![]() In short, follow even more carefully the Recommendation on the proper use of a loadbox with a tube amplifier you'll find in the user manual of your Torpedo product. Monitor the behavior of the amp, the tone coming out of it, the color of the output tubes. Play your amp at low level, at least at first. Only go for small mismatches: 2 vs 4, 4 vs 8, 8 vs 16. That being said, we recommand the following: It's always best to go for the right impedance if possible. As a result, we can't garantee that a mistmatch will always work for you. It is generally accepted that a small mismatch is not a problem, if you play the amp at low level, but this isn't a general rule. This mismatch may or may not be a problem, it actually heavily depends on the amp's design, and the way you use it. Connecting the two leads to an impedance mismatch. In some situations however, you may not be able to match the impedance of the load to the impedance of the speaker output, like in your case with an 8 ohms amp and a 16 Ohms Captor X. A 8 ohms speaker output is supposed to be connected to a 8 ohms speaker or loadbox. The speaker output of a tube amp is designed to be matched to one (or several) specific load(s). Hello you can run your 8 ohms amp into the Captor X 16 ohms. If i connect a cheap 16 ohm load that itself doesn't require a speaker to the speaker out of the torpedo captor x,Īccording to the manual the amp sees the 16 ohm from the additional load box,Īnd i'd be able (in theory) to silent record an 16 ohm amp with the old torpedo captor x? "for example if you have a 8 ohms speaker or loadbox and an amp with only a 16 ohms output", clearly not what the thread starter suggested (16 ohm cab on 16 ohm output). "Also, the impedance seen by the amp is the cabinet’s.", in this case, amp (16 ohm speaker output) sees 16 ohm cabinet, not a mismatch in my book?! Why is this considered an impedance mismatch if i connect the captor to my 16 ohm speaker output on the amp? All the guidelines on impedance mismatch here."

The manual says: "FULL: the attenuator is bypassed. ![]() Can you or anyone else elaborate on this a little? Then there’s Julianna who simply wants to kill Colt, preventing him from ending the loop. Ramblin’ Frank Spicer is a radio DJ and hangs out in his studio, broadcasting throughout the island. ![]() Egor Serling is the founder of the AEON Program and mostly holed up in his lab, seeking attention but also wanting solitude away from the crowd. The ones we know thus far include Aleksis “The Wolf” Dorsey who’s all about wolves, right down to having a masquerade party with wolf masks in the Updaam district. But along with the Visionaries and other party-goers, the player also has to contend with agent Julianna Blake who’s out to protect the loop.Įach Visionary has their own unique motif and routine on Blackreef, along with powers provided by the AEON Program (which Colt can claim by killing them and taking their Slabs). Strangely enough, Colt retains his memories between each loop, allowing him to utilize any information to his advantage. Colt’s goal is to take them all out before the clock strikes midnight – leaving anyone alive will reset the loop and undo everything. The Visionaries are thus looking to party forever, committing all kinds of debauchery in the process. Thanks to military experiments that occurred in the past, time resets on the island after a set period. Of course, it’s never really that simple. It’s about an assassin named Colt who comes to Blackreef Isle to take down eight targets, known collectively as the Visionaries. ![]() As one of the few big releases that hasn’t been delayed to next year, not to mention a major PS5 exclusive, what do you need to know before picking it up? Let’s go over 15 different things here.ĭeathloop’s story isn’t one of honor or revenge. Originally meant to release in November 2020, Bethesda’s Deathloop is finally set to launch on September 14 th for PS5 and PC. ![]() The Career mode in DIRT 5 is quite engaging, despite being as minimalistic as possible with a complete lack of character models and cut-scenes. This custom paint job was done in a bit of hurry, while I was recording gameplay footage, and I initially thought it was quite hideous, which it is, but it's growing on me. Each vehicle is highly customisable, with a great range of decals, stickers and paint jobs that you can unlock as you progress through the story and other modes. The selection of cars is fairly extensive, though not at the level of something like an Asphalt or Gran Turismo. For example, you can begin a race with beautiful blue skies, only to be hurled into the midst of an impromptu thunderstorm minutes later. There's also a number of different weather conditions, each of which impact your driving experience in their own unique way. Dynamic changes in weather over the course of races are commonplace, with conditions changing as the race progresses. Every location has a further set of courses that you can choose from, with each being just about different enough to justify their existence. There are 10 different locations that you can race in, ranging from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in Nepal to the muddy dirt tracks of rural Norway. However, if you're looking for a slightly more challenging drive, you have the option of using the manual transmission, in which case you will need to shift through the gears like you would in real life. It's simple, it's straightforward and most of all, it's immensely enjoyable. If you choose to drive with the pre-set controls, there are only three buttons that you really need - the accelerator, the brakes and the handbrake, if you want to pull off a couple of tight turns. ![]() At the heart of it, there is something deeply nostalgic about Codemasters' latest addition to the DIRT series, even if you haven't really played many of these games before.Īs soon as you load it up, the bright, colourful title slide and user interface instantly announce what sort of experience you're in for, with a promise of light-hearted fun that the gameplay well and truly delivers on. Thanks to my ineptitude at this genre of video games, I had no real preconceived notions heading into this review, and I came away from the experience feeling pleasantly surprised. I remember hooking up the console to the television, flipping over to the split-screen mode and playing for what, at the time, felt like six hours straight, but could easily have been all night. Now, as anyone who knows me can attest, I'm not the biggest fan of racing games - mostly since I'm absolutely terrible at it - so I don't have many fond memories of them, but this particular one just came flooding right back to me minutes after I began playing DIRT 5. Who's gunna be playing #DIRT5 on Steam? Let us know what you're most excited for ⏬ /g5ASrGdDcsĭIRT 5 is launching on PC (and consoles) on 16th October 2020.When I was in the ninth grade, there was this one evening where my best friend came over to my house with his PS2, a copy of Burnout 3: Takedown and a battered spare controller he'd borrowed from his cousin. To get the most out of the game, you’ll need at least a Ryzen 3600 or Intel i5 9600K processor, 16GB of RAM and either a Radeon 5700XT or Nvidia GTX 1070Ti GPU.Ĭonfirmed: PC specs for DIRT 5, launching October 16 ⚡ That’s not much to ask for, but don’t expect to be getting blistering performance from that. The minimum specs for DIRT 5 require an Intel i3 2130 processor or AMD FX 4300, 8GB of RAM and either an AMD RX 480 GPU or an Nvidia GTX 970. To run the game, you’ll need Windows 10 64-bit, and 60gb of space on your hard drive to install it. In our hands-on time with DIRT 5 so far, we’ve been very impressed with how the game looks – and that’s something you’re only going to achieve if you have a more powerful PC. Because, uh, that’s why they’re called “recommended” after all. And we recommend that you aim for as close to the recommended specs as possible. If you want to get the most out of the game, though, you’ll need something much beefier. ![]() While you can’t run DIRT 5 on a potato, the minimum specs are fairly lenient, requiring a very basic processor and a graphics card that’s a couple of generations old. Wondering if you’re gonna need a cheeky PC upgrade before you can play DIRT 5 this October? Well, Codemasters has shared the required specs. ![]() Press ctrl+F to bring up the search feature.įrom here you have a few options. It will open a new tab showing the page’s HTML and CSS. The first step is to go to any page on the site you’re checking (but it’s best to just use the homepage), then right-click and tap “View page source” or “View Source” in your browser. If you’ve already taken security measures to protect yourself, you might have to try a different method. Note that many webmasters take steps to make this information private, so this won’t work on all sites, only on those that have left the default settings intact. What if you can’t log into your admin area and need to get the version information for troubleshooting, or you want to know what another WordPress website is running on? Within a site’s source code and on certain hidden pages, you may be able to find the version number. If all you’re worried about is staying up to date, look for that message, or go to Dashboard > Updates to check for new versions. That’s all the ways to find the WordPress version number in the dashboard, but it’s also worth noting that you’ll see a nag at the top of every backend screen prompting you to update to the newest version if you haven’t done so. Even if you’re not updated to the most recent version of WordPress, you’ll see the version number displayed prominently at the top as well as information about that update. Last, there’s the “About WordPress” screen you can find by hovering the WordPress logo in the top left corner and clicking the first dropdown option. The downside here is that, if you do have an outdated version installed, it won’t give you the version number. You can also head to Dashboard > Updates, which will prompt you to update if you’re running an older version or inform you that you already installed the most recent version of WordPress. If you don’t have the “At a Glance” box, you may have removed it (or downloaded a plugin that removes it), installed a custom admin theme, or are using a very old version of WordPress. Version Number on the WordPress dashboard You’ll also see your WordPress version listed there at the bottom. “At a Glance” BoxĪs soon as you log in, you should be taken to the Home page on the admin dashboard, where you’ll find the “At a Glance” box that shows information like posts, pages, comments, and currently i nstalled theme. In case you can’t find it, there are ample other places to check what version of WordPress you’re running. If you don’t, try going to the dashboard homepage. Just look at the bottom right corner and you should see it there. Whenever you’re logged into WordPress, you can find the version number on any page of the backend. There are several areas in the admin dashboard that display the currently installed version, or will tell you if your site is out of date. If you’re able to log in to your website’s backend, this is probably the easiest and most accurate method for determining what version of WordPress you’re running. ![]() even without an admin login ⚡️ Click to Tweet These problems are less pressing now that WordPress auto-updates, but if you haven’t checked in a long time, it’s a good idea to do so.Įver wondered what version of WordPress you or another site are using? □ These are the easiest ways to do it. For instance, if you’re working with a client, you may want to see if their site is out of date so you can help them fix this security issue right away. ![]() Lastly, there may be cases when you want to find what WordPress version someone else is running. ![]() If something goes wrong on your site and it ends up not loading, displays a strange error, or throws the white screen of death, diagnosing the error may require knowing what version you were running - something you likely don’t know off the top of your head. When installing a plugin, you’ll need to check what core version your site is running on to make sure everything will work smoothly. As WordPress updates, they add and remove features and functions that plugins may rely on. Some plugins won’t work with the latest release of WordPress, while others will break if your version is too old. There are also incompatibilities to worry about. Keeping WordPress updated is your best defense against hacks. Hackers often rely on exploits to infiltrate websites - vulnerabilities that are usually quickly patched, and only work if you fail to update your website. In 2019, 49% of hacked WordPress websites were using an outdated version. It’s actually very important to make sure your site is up to date at all times. Why worry about something small like that? You might be wondering why you should bother keeping an eye on your WordPress version.
