Instead, it's the vaccine which carries a "world-improving omnivirus" that will not kill but sterilise the population, stopping human reproduction for the next three generations. The virus that had been spreading through school children is not the actual threat. But as the episode went on, his true masterplan was revealed. His plan was to spread a deadly virus while profiting off a vaccine that didn't work. This looked to be the end for Cusack's character but incredibly, he made it out alive (despite losing his thumb).Įarly in the finale, it seemed clear that Christie was Mr Rabbit (he had the tattoo on his side, after all). In the season one finale, Arby turned his back on Dr Christie and delivered him (wrapped in duct tape) to Jessica, Wilson, Grant, Ian, Becky and Alice. It's safe to assume most of the main cast who survived the finale will return for season two, if the show is picked up by another streaming service or network, including the following: ![]() If so, the series could still come back in the future, when it's less connected to current events, or it could even be picked up by Netflix, so keep us bookmarked for all the latest news and scoops.ĭeadlineconfirmed the cancellation in November 2020. The conflicted reaction from critics and audiences, combined with that potentially dangerous message, may have contributed to Amazon's decision to cancel the show. Well, that was until we got some bad news. Given the scale of the production and the impact of Covid-19 on schedules across the board, we were probably looking at 2022 at the earliest for a second season. "As he revealed this, I wanted half the audience to be, 'What a villainous bastard,' and the other half to kind of lean in and go, ' guy's got a point,'" Flynn said. She pointed to a Christie line about how, in order to survive, "we have to live selflessly, and as you know, we're not that good at it". "If we keep going down this path, we're going to have a world that we might be able to live in, but it's not going to be particularly worth living in." "I wanted to explain why he was doing it: Humans are multiplying like bacteria, like a virus, and we're going to destroy the world," she said, breaking down Christie's point of view. " if you're taking your medical advice from John Cusack, something's gone horribly wrong in your life," she said. It doesn't matter if your opinion is, 'There's no such thing as gravity.' There is." " about where we are that, largely through social media newsfeeds, we've turned science and truth into something that can be opinionated – which is incorrect. "The show is ultimately about conspiracies and about what happens when fringe conspiracies gain mainstream acceptance," Flynn said. But she also hoped that the show's strange style, as well as the truly evil character presenting that position, should keep any viewers from believing it. "I have always said that I like the things I create to create strong reactions, and I'd always much rather have people who want to talk about it – whether it's positive or negative – than give a tepid, 'I liked it,' and never think about it again."įollowing world events, Flynn said there were times when she felt "a little sick to my stomach" worrying Utopia would augment the anti-vaxxers' argument. "It is what I expected," Flynn told IndieWire about the response. Season one received mixed reviews, which is something that didn't surprise Flynn. The first season wrapped filming in October 2019, a year before it aired on Amazon. It seems surreal to write that the future of Utopia was up in the air due to a pandemic, but it really was. ![]()

The Intel-based MacBook Pro 2020 lasted 10:21, so that’s a huge 6-hour difference. On the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of screen brightness, the MacBook Pro M1 lasted an amazing 16 hours and 25 minutes. This is the two in the one-two punch that makes the MacBook Pro M1 one of the best laptops money can buy. Note that this benchmark used Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology to run and it’s not a native app, so we expect even better results once Photoshop is optimized for Apple Silicon. The Dell XPS 13 scored a higher 588 but took a much longer 10:48, while the ZenBook 13 registered 743 with a time of 9:11. So how about Photoshop? On the PugetBench test, which performs 21 tasks (three times per run), the MacBook Pro notched a score of 576.6 and a time of 7 minutes and 3 seconds. The MacBook Air finished a bit behind the Pro at 9:15. The MacBook Pro M1 took only 7 minutes and 46 seconds to complete this task, compared to 18:22 for the XPS 13 and 17:51 for the ZenBook 13. For this test the application is optimized for Apple Silicon. The MacBook Pro M1 smoked all of its competitors on our Handbrake video editing test, which involves transcoding a 4K clip to 1080p. ![]() The MacBook Air M1 scored a similar 5,962. This number surpasses the 5,319 score from the Dell XPS 13 and the Asus ZenBook 13’s 5,084, and both of those machines pack 11th gen Intel Core i7 CPUs. On Geekbench 5.1, which measures overall performance, the MacBook Pro M1 scored 5,945 on the multi-core portion of the test. Only once I started adding iOS apps to the mix did I start to see stuttering. I pushed the MacBook Pro M1 to 61 tabs while writing this review and the performance remained rock solid, even while I was juggling multiple conversations in Slack and streaming Spotify. One of my biggest complaints about my older Core i5 MacBook from 2019 is that it can get bogged down easily when I have lots of tabs open in Google Chrome. The easiest way to sum up the MacBook Pro M1’s performance is that the barriers between you and getting stuff done melt away. We're hearing Apple is preparing both a MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch model with these features. All while adding in faster processors and adopting the flat-edge design language of the iPhone 12 and iPad Pro. Rumors suggest Apple will bring back MagSafe charging and the SD memory reader, and drop the Touch Bar. The MacBook Pro 2021, though looks to seriously improve on the current model. If you want more than 512GB of storage, 1TB costs an extra $400 while 2TB will run you $800. It costs $200 to go from 8GB to 16GB of memory. If you want to configure the MacBook Pro M1 yourself, there are a number of upgrades available. You get 256GB of storage to start, but the $1,499 model of the MacBook Pro M1 includes 512GB of storage. That configuration gives you Apple’s powerful M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, plus 8GB of unified memory (RAM). The MacBook Pro M1 had a release date of November 17 and starts at $1,299. ![]() MacBook Pro M1 review: Release date and price But at least you can download the free trial and see how useful Toolbox is for your own personal work set-up before buying.16:32 of web browsing (M1, tested) | Up to 20 hours (Apple M1, claimed) | 10:21 (Intel, tested) And, of course, there are many utilities available from other developers that provide similar features. And, incidentally, Parallels Desktop still provides an option to buy that as a one-time purchase without an annual subscription, so it’s disappointing that Toolbox itself is now subscription-only. I do find Toolbox useful–but I get it included with my copy of Parallels Desktop, so I don’t need to pay an additional subscription fee for it. It’s a shame that a relatively modest piece of software such as Toolbox now requires an annual subscription, as that will probably deter quite a few potential users.

These blade options are more subtle than a traditional metal spinner blade and turn at much slower speeds, which is deadly whenever you must turn the boat a lot to stay on structure. Perhaps one of the hottest trends we are seeing in our travels is the popularity of subtle harnesses that include small metal props, mylar blades like Mack Blades or plastic props like Northland Fishing Tackle Butterfly and Wingnut Blades. When dealing with clear water or high numbers of incidental pike, I often tie snells with fluorocarbon and offset the sinking characteristics of fluorocarbon by using a float in the snell or spinner harness. Long, 8- to 12-foot snells can be deadly in clear water or over a real soft bottom. Most spinners are tied with a 5- to 6-foot snell, but I often prefer to use a shorter 3-foot snell when fishing around weeds or using Slow Death style hooks. I find that 14- or even 20-pound-test snells track behind the bottom bouncer much better at the faster speeds and enable you to use speed to find and trigger fish. If your snell or harness is getting twisted, you are using too light of poundage on your snell. Heavier snells hold up to faster speeds so much better. If I must fish slow with light line, I often prefer to slip bobber or live bait rig. Since I do like to run bottom bouncers at faster speeds, I am also a big believer in using heavier snells. Often, we simply catch more fish with bottom bouncers by simply speeding up to cover water to find active fish, triggering fish in the process. Usually, if there is any doubt, err on the side of heavy, because heavier bottom bouncers are much more forgiving with not only with depth but speed. As you change depths, you can always let out more line or pick up line. This keeps your presentation close to what you are seeing on your electronics. There are exceptions, of course there are times when we will run lighter bottom bouncers behind the boat at faster speeds, particularly along shallow flats.īut this is the basic starting point: An ounce for every ten feet of water will enable you to easily fish the bottom bouncer below the boat at about a forty-five-degree angle behind the boat. Choosing the right weight is important, so that you can keep the bottom bouncer along the bottom upright and close to the boat. They’re great tools for really fine-tuning bottom transitions and feeling rock, gravel, etc., which ultimately greatly aids your boat control and understanding of a location.Īs a rule of thumb, we recommend an ounce of weight for every ten feet of water. The wire on a bottom bouncer transmits so much valuable information. Feeling a hard strike on a bottom bouncer and setting the hook is right up there with catching a fish on a jig.īottom bouncers can also help you really learn what you are fishing. I have often joked that bottom bouncers are a guide’s best friend because you can catch a lot of walleyes with a bottom bouncer regardless of experience or feel. load up when a fish strikes.īottom bouncers are so simple to use and so effective. You can also simply put the rod in the rod holder and the rod will. Through this entire spectrum, bottom bouncers are forgiving in that you can slide out into deeper water or move up shallow and keep your presentation near the bottom. ![]() You can run spinner harnesses with blades.Īll these options enable the angler to fish slow or fast, with subtleness or vibration with flash. Run half-‘crawler, Slow Death style hooks that have become so popular over the last decade. You can also slow down at a mile per hour or less. You can speed up to cover water at over two miles per hour with a bottom bouncer. The reason bottom bouncers are so effective is their simple versatility. Come midsummer, bottom bouncers are probably my go-to presentation to catch walleyes day-in and day-out on many different fisheries. The popularity of bottom bouncers, however, has expanded far and wide. ![]() In both North and South Dakota, bottom bouncer rigs have been catching walleyes on the Missouri River reservoirs for an awfully long time. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The threat actor was also able to copy a backup of customer vault data from the encrypted storage container which is stored in a proprietary binary format that contains both unencrypted data, such as website URLs, as well as fully-encrypted sensitive fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data.” These questions were raised because the security notice says: Security researchers are worried about the fact that LastPass stores website URLs unencrypted. So, it comes as a surprise that the initial breach was able to lead to further compromises. Usually, these passwords are stored in an encrypted database and locked behind a master password.Īs a keeper of that many passwords, LastPass is juicy prey for threat actors.

The instructions to enable MFA can be found on the LastPass support pages. If you haven’t done so already, we would advise that you enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your LastPass accounts so that threat actors won’t be able to access your account even if your password was compromised. In case of a leaked or stolen password, threat actors can use credential stuffing techniques to unlock other accounts.Īccording to LastPass, if you followed these guidelines, it would take millions of years to guess your master password using generally-available password-cracking technology. This is always true, but it completely defeats the security advantage of using a password manager. It is recommended that you never reuse your master password on other websites.You can check the current number of PBKDF2 iterations for your LastPass account here.

The CoaguChek XS Plus system from ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS DIVISION, Indianapolis, was introduced in 2007 as the company’s fifth-generation POC anticoagulation monitor, becoming part of the most frequently used family of prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) POC testing devices in the United States. Daily maintenance, the company says, uses a built-in quality-control (QC) package and requires less than 5 minutes of staff time. Levels are monitored automatically for reagent bottles in tilted racks, and a dilution range of up to 1:1,200 is possible. The system’s specialty menu can be custom defined by the user to include profiles for disseminated intravascular coagulation and for the risk of thrombosis or bleeding, in addition to reflex testing. The system’s special features for handling high test volumes include the ability to manage both normal and pathological specimens using walk-away and random-access methods. For the detection of von Willebrand disease, there is an automated ristocetin cofactor activity test. In addition to employing state-of-the-art immunological, chromogenic, agglutination, and clotting methodologies on a single platform at three wavelengths, the system offers (for research use) advanced coagulation testing in the form of the automated endogenous thrombin potential test. The system can use customer protocols to customize software that will enhance efficiency. For example, specialty and routine testing can be conducted simultaneously. Customer input, gathered during a series of interviews of many users of the other 1,500 installed systems in the BCS line, was used to add features that enhance workflow and improve productivity. This coagulation analyzer, introduced in 2006, is intended for high-volume work environments and has been optimized to improve turnaround time for results. SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS, Deerfield, Ill, makes the BCS® XP system. ![]() Manufacturers have adopted several strategies to help laboratories meet these goals, both in the clinical laboratory and at the point of care (POC). As is so often the case, the laboratory is being expected to increase test volumes while decreasing turnaround times and costs. In addition to mounting volumes, there is increasing pressure to return results to clinicians rapidly so that anticoagulant therapy can be fine-tuned, since outcomes appear to be tied to the successful use of anticoagulant therapy at a stable, effective level. Patients awaiting surgery, those with suspected disseminated intravascular coagulation, and those being screened for congenital clotting disorders also add to the list of candidates for coagulation tests. More patients are using anticoagulants for long periods (or permanently), particularly following implantation of mechanical heart valves or after episodes of atrial fibrillation.Īn additional, more recently expanded group is using antithrombotic agents after, or to prevent, deep venous thrombosis, arterial or pulmonary embolism, stroke, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. The number of patients needing coagulation testing is growing, not only as part of the general trend toward higher test volumes, but because new applications for coagulation testing are being found. ![]() 1/8/2024 0 Comments Metro last light karma giude![]() ![]() Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps.
