Os x yosemite wallpaper png5/10/2023 The "Dynamic Desktop" options will automatically change your desktop image based on the time of day. Depending on your Mac OS version, you may be able to choose a "Dynamic Desktop" image. If you want the order to be shuffled, then tick the "Random order" option box at the bottom of the page. This great tip was discovered on LifeHacker, cheers to the find.You can choose a single picture for your background, or have your Mac cycle through a selection. Mv ImageForLoginWallpaper.png /Library/Caches/.pngįor Mac users running a prior version of OS X, setting a custom login screen in OS X Mavericks is quite easy too. Move the new image into place to set as the new login screen background picture: Mv /Library/Caches/.png ~/Desktop/backup/ Move the original login wallpaper file to serve as a backup: If you’re command line savvy, you can achieve the same results with the following, assuming you have a PNG file handy: Set the Custom Login Wallpaper Background with Terminal To reverse the customization, you’d simply want to move the backed up copy back into the original location in /Library/Caches/, as you can see in the screen shot above the backup for this particular walkthrough is just kept in the same folder. You’ll probably want to keep a copy of “.png” handy unless you’re really thrilled with your newly customized login screen, that’s your choice. You should not need to reboot the Mac to see the difference.įor an added customization bonus, don’t forget you can add a message to the login screen of OS X too, this is a good place to put an ownership note or message, maybe even a phone number or email address to signify who owns the specific Mac. Your newly customized background login screen image will be set and you’ll see it upon the new login screen again, you will see this image when you log a user out, boot into the new login screen, or lock the screen to a login authentication window. Close the /Library/Caches/ folder and log out of the current user account to see the change.Now copy the version of your custom wallpaper named “.png” from the Desktop into the /Library/Caches/ folder.Locate the file named “.png”, select it, and hit Command+D to make a copy or drag it somewhere like your user folder and make a copy that way (this will serve as a backup of the default login screen background image – do not skip this).Now go to the Finder of OS X, and hit Command+Shift+G, enter the following path in Go To Folder:.Pull down the “File” menu and choose “Save As”, select PNG as the format, and name the file “.png” – save it to somewhere like the Desktop for easy access.Open the image you want to set as the login wallpaper into Preview app of OS X.Whatever image you wish to set as the login background must be a PNG file, and it should be at least the size of your screen resolution if not larger. That secret wallpaper selection in OS X offers many great options to use on any Mac, and the files are already in the proper format. Change the Login Screen Background Wallpaper to a Custom Image in OS X Yosemiteįor the purpose of this walkthrough, we’re going to use one of the hidden wallpapers in OS X of a Cosmos moon / earth shot. You can change the background image to anything you’d like, so if you have a picture handy that you’d like to use that’s great, otherwise you can look in our wallpapers section for something that suits you.īack up your Mac with Time Machine before beginning, though this is a minor change you will want to have a fresh backup anyway just in case you somehow mess something up. Setting a unique login wallpaper this way is easily done and easily undone too.

Vt4 emilie 100m loopster5/10/2023 In addition, we are perpetually grateful for founders who’ve embraced Amplify as partners on their journey. We appreciate your continuing trust in our team and our vision. ![]() Our core investment thesis for both funds remains unchanged - enabling the digital transformation being driven by the explosive growth of cloud infrastructure, developer tools, AI, data science, and cybersecurity.Īs the venture capital industry bifurcates between a handful of ever-growing megafunds and a crowd of seed funds & solo capitalists, we feel that Amplify’s strategy stands out by giving founders a domain expert investor with both the resources and focus to make a meaningful contribution to the trajectory at the early-stage, that also has the deep pockets to help them scale for years to come.Īs always, we are deeply grateful to our Limited Partners. The Amplify Select Fund will continue to make sizable growth investments in existing Amplify portfolio companies and will be invested alongside Amplify Partners IV, our $275M flagship early-stage fund. The expanded fund size allows us to double-down on supporting our portfolio as they scale beyond the early stages and through to the public markets. Given the strength of the opportunities we see in our portfolio and the overwhelming response from our entrepreneurs and our LPs, we’ve raised an additional $100M for the Select Fund, bringing its total size to $200M. We originally raised $100M for the Select Fund in 2020 to create a dedicated pool of expansion capital for our most promising portfolio companies as they reached the growth stage. ![]() Today we are excited to announce the expansion of the Amplify Select Fund.

Cool things for iphone 125/10/2023 ![]() Having a 3D space to navigate is a lot more immersive than simply looking at a 2D image. ![]() In the meantime, we’re testing each case we recommend to see if wireless charging through the case works, at least.Well if you have an iPhone or an iPad with a LiDAR scanner on the back, you can do exactly that. At this early point, it’s mostly just Apple cases that fully support MagSafe, but we expect many more to add it soon. A case without the magnetic ring may still support charging with a MagSafe charger, as long as it’s thin enough, but likely won’t work with a car mount or wallet. It refers to both magnetic wireless chargers and accessories, as well as cases with a magnetic ring built in to support them. MagSafe: Apple’s MagSafe system is a bit of a complicated beast.Broad aesthetic appeal: Although you can find a case suitable for any aesthetic preference, we look for cases that have simple, even elegant designs-cases that are likely to appeal to most people-rather than models that adhere to specific aesthetic choices.That’s an especially important consideration with the iPhone 12 series, which relies on an upward swipe from the bottom edge of the screen as a primary interaction. Additionally, the case shouldn’t prevent you from using any gestures. Although wallet cases may properly support wireless charging, you shouldn’t expect them to, and if you need wireless charging we recommend that you look at a folio instead. In our tests, we verify that each of these features works with the case on. No wireless interference: A case shouldn’t reduce performance with any wireless signals-Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC (near-field communication, necessary to use Apple Pay), or Qi wireless charging.We use a 0.85-millimeter feeler gauge, per Apple’s guidelines, to test each case. ![]() Raised front lip: As Apple’s case guidelines (PDF) explain, “Exposed glass on the device shall not come within 0.85 mm of a flat surface, such as a table or floor, in any orientation when the case is attached.” A lip around the edges of the phone’s display helps prevent cracked screens-one of the biggest worries with any smartphone-but it also helps to keep the screen from getting scratched if you place the phone screen-down.On the other hand, we don’t consider cases with a circular opening to expose the Apple logo on the back of the phone because they offer less overall protection with no real benefit. We also like cases that don’t leave the top or bottom edge of the phone exposed, though such exposure isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker. The best cases provide button protection with tactility that mimics-or in some instances even enhances-the way the buttons feel on a bare iPhone. Full coverage: As a general rule, the more of the phone that a case protects, the better we prefer cases that protect everything but the phone’s screen.(Even a heavy-duty case can’t guarantee that your phone will survive every scenario intact-for example, a direct hit to the screen will still do damage.) The obvious exception here is superthin cases, which purposely compromise some drop protection in favor of a thinner profile. ![]() We don’t conduct drop tests, but we do look for cases that are obviously capable of withstanding some impact.

Super meat boy forever review ign5/10/2023 ![]() Making the game an auto-runner lets the designers have a clearer idea of the player’s potential actions during gameplay and lets them design better more precise levels because of those constraints. That might sound kind of hectic, but it’s not, until you get to some of the harder levels. I was initially hesitant about the auto-running aspect, but after playing for a bit it started to feel like I was just constantly holding the run button in the first game and always going for an A+ rating. This eventually evolved into Super Meat Boy Forever with the number of inputs doubling, from one to two, and you’d be astonished at the gameplay variety achieved with just those two. He made it an auto-runner and allowed you to change direction by jumping off of walls. So he set out to make a version of Super Meat Boy that could be played with one button. At the time he noticed that big studios were making mobile versions of their IPs, but the gameplay didn’t feel right on a phone – there were too many inputs crammed onto a small screen. To top it all off Meat Boy got a fresh coat of paint in the form of an updated, more high-definition art style.Ī few years after the release of Super Meat Boy, Tommy Refenes, one half of the original Team Meat duo, wanted to make a mobile Meat Boy game. Another change to the formula is due to the semi-procedural level creation, which makes each new playthrough unique. Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-runner, which might put some people off initially, but after playing through the game multiple times, I can assure you the gameplay is extremely similar. The good news is all that is present in the sequel however, there’s a slight change in gameplay. The Original Super Meat Boy became a fan favorite in part because of its challenging and addictive gameplay, but also because of the humor and fan service its creators wove into the game. ![]() Fetus kidnaps Meat Boy and Bandage Girl’s baby, Nugget. The loveable cube of red meat is thrust into another adventure after his evil nemesis Dr. Meat Boy is finally back after eleven long years in Team Meat’s Super Meat Boy Forever.

Jettison software5/10/2023 ![]() “If Fuji had had any problems they might have said something about it earlier and not participated so enthusiastically ,” he commented.When it comes to Black Friday, what comes to your mind first? Yep, that is, big sales! So are you ready for the annual highly promoted sales? The online sales of this year start at the midnight of the 4th Friday of November. The director-general had sharp words for Fuji, the supplier that recently mounted an unsuccessful legal challenge to the national programme’s 2004 PACS procurement. a new, stable e-mail directory service currently being used by 30,000 users.the adoption of national programme terms and conditions into the Office of Government Commerce’s standard terms and conditions.These were not ‘home broadband’ installations but much more robust infrastructrure with features such as automatic switching on failure the roll out of 5000 wide band connections with 28,000 more to go.He thanked his team for keeping their nerve and added: “Not a single senior member of the team has left the programme.” He said that in England there was a national sickness which meant large projects came under attack when they went through a dip. “It doesn’t mean we get everything right, but we are trying to do the right thing.” “We’re trying to do the right thing,”he said. He also praised the contribution of Alan Burns, chief excutive of Trent Strategic Health Authority, who was brought in to take over management of clinical engagement. Granger added that he would like to see star ratings and chief executives’ performance ratings focus on this issue – and had made his opinion known to NHS chief executive, Sir Nigel Crisp.Īgain at the senior level of the programme, Granger welcomed the appointment last year of John Bacon, the Department of Health’s group director of health and social care services delivery, as senior responsible officer (SRO) for the programme and said he had not felt comfortable with the idea of taking on a dual role following the retirement of the original SRO, Sir John Pattison. Few have anyone who understands how information and technology can make a difference to these decisions with a full vote on the board," he said. ![]() "Few of them base their decisions on how IT will support their decisions. In a wide ranging speech on the national programme’s achievements and difficulties, Granger highlighted the need for more clinical engagement – a frequently visited theme – but also challenged NHS managers to get involved. The suppliers causing concern have not been named but, it is understood that the programme’s five local service providers – Accenture and alliances led by BT, CSC and Fujitsu – are not in the frame for review "Some of that will occur over the next few months. We won’t wait around for years waiting for them to fix it," he said. "If they can’t do the job they will be replaced. Speaking at Healthcare Computing 2005 in Harrogate, Granger explained that Connecting for Health was "what we are about".īut the re-branding will not disguise some harsh realities for suppliers to the programme some of whom, Granger hinted, were not performing well. The National Programme for IT is to change its name to Connecting for Health, NHS IT director-general Richard Granger announced today.

Earman primer on determinism5/10/2023 ![]() It was assumed that the universe designed by the author of nature would be as logically perfect as humans thought it should be. Because of these views he was accused of impiety, of “casting a reflection upon the wisdom of the author of nature.” (p. 212, note 11) Newton himself may be counted among the dissenters, for he regarded even the solar system as imperfect, and consequently as likely to perish. ![]() However, there were dissenters, including Newton: This scientific or “physical determinism … became the ruling faith among enlightened men” (p. 212). This proposition, ‘All clouds are clocks,’ may be taken as a brief formulation of the view which I shall call ‘ physical determinism’” (p. 210). ![]() Popper said that almost everybody thought, “The Newtonian revolution the following staggering proposition: All clouds are clocks-even the most cloudy of clouds. He asked us to consider “a very disturbed or disorderly cloud … on the left on the other extreme of our arrangement, on its right … a very reliable pendulum clock, a precision clock” (p. 207). Popper's “clouds … represent physical systems which, like gases, are highly irregular, disorderly, and more or less unpredictable” (p. 207). He distinguished indeterminisms and determinisms along a clouds-to-clocks continuum. To clarify these issues, the following outlines some ultimate realities-roughly along Popper's continuum, as explained below-as well as behavioral positions on them.Īlthough not a clear taxonomy for all determinisms ( Honderich, 1988, p. 5), Popper's (1965/1979) organizational outline was vivid. Further, in his later years, Skinner appeared to advance an evolutionary reality without any reliance on determinism. However, neither Skinner nor all other behavior analysts have consistently supported a shared understanding of determinism in any definite sense. Rakos referred to “what unquestionably is the central philosophical and conceptual unifier among committed behavior analysts: a shared understanding of the deterministic nature of human behavior and its implications for cultural design” (p. 153). Nevertheless, behaviorists have been presented as believing in determinism, one of these ultimate realities (e.g., Chiesa, 2003, p. 243 Neuringer, 1991a, p. 46 Rakos, 2006, p. 153 Watson, 1924/1970, p. 183). Inasmuch as ultimate realities are highly speculative, a behavior analyst might reasonably think they are not of vital concern. |
