![]() ![]() Due to environmental needs, multiple ports, high-level KVM switches are designed to 1U or 2U in size and can be installed on the server rack. Some of these low port number KVMs do not need an external power supply. Low port number KVMs are convenient to use, without the installation of extra software, and can be easily managed using hot keys or switch keys. When purchasing a KVM, the choice is often made based on the number of PCs that you need to control and requirement of USB, PS/2, and VGA, or DVI interface. Thus, the KVM was "born" under the demands of saving space, costs and increasing management efficiency. However, this is not the most effective way of management as not only is it space-consuming, but also costly, and keeping a row of large CRT monitors may be problematic. If you need to control multiple PCs, then you need to purchase several sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor. As a result, a single PC (CPU/Server) naturally complements the start up operations of the keyboard and mouse. ![]() After confirmation of connectivity, the screen then enters the start up page. ![]() According to the basic PC function design, as the PC is starting up, the operating system will automatically detect the signals of the keyboard and mouse. The main function of KVM is to control, switch and manage many PCs via a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. However, this is different from the conventional data switch. KVM is an acronym for keyboard, video (monitor) and mouse, and is otherwise called a PC switch or electronic switch. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wontons, shrimp, white chicken, broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, and mushrooms.

How did a Chinese restaurant become so famous and successful despite the enormous competition? Well, the mastermind behind Pick Up Stix developed recipes and sauces using the best traditional Asian ingredients and adapting everything to the American palate by reducing the oils and adding wine, vinegar, and soy sauce.

![]() ![]() Video footage of the event shows the altercation between the associate dean and the judge. Steinbach opened a folio, took out a printed sheaf of papers, and delivered a six-minute speech addressing the question: "Is the juice worth the squeeze?"' 'Students began screaming, and I reluctantly gave way. The Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Tirien Steinbach, stepped in but instead of calming the students down, she 'insisted she wanted to talk to all of us,' Duncan said. She asked to speak before the group, which confused Duncan, who said 'something felt off' He eventually asked for an administrator when the heckling wouldn't stop and in stepped the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Tirien Steinbach. But they kept going so eventually he asked for an administrator to step in. He tried to persevere but eventually stopped to asked the students to cut out the insults. He was appointed by President Trump to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Embarrassing!)" And so on,' he wrote about the introduction. '"The Federalist Society (You suck!) is pleased to welcome Judge Kyle Duncan (You’re not welcome here, we hate you!). The Stanford protesters saw it differently: My opinion had "denied a transwoman’s existence."'ĭespite the abuse, the Federalist Society president still tried to introduce Duncan so he could give his speech, but the students interrupted 'every third word.' 'As my opinion explained, federal courts can’t control what pronouns people use. Students stormed into the classroom with signs reading 'FED SUCK' and 'Trans Lives Matter' to heckle him about his judicial decision in the case US vs Varner, where a 'federal prisoner serving a term for attempted receipt of child pornography.petitioned our court to order that he be called by feminine pronouns.' He was warned prior to his arrival that there may be protesters and the school had to allow it, but reassured him they were 'on top of it.' If there was any disruption, the school would handle it, he was told, but Duncan said that didn't happen. 'This didn’t seem "collegial."'įifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, who was appointed by Donald Trump, was asked to give a speech at the famous law school last week about the circuit's Court of Appeals by the student chapter of the Federalist Society 'Stanford Law School’s website touts its "collegial culture" in which "collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning,"' he said. The judge also saw signs on campus that read 'you should be ASHAMED', with others claiming he had committed 'crimes against women, gays, blacks and "trans people,"' he wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. However, when he arrived at the school, he was met by around 100 students yelling obscenities at him, including one protester who told him: 'We hope your daughters get raped.' ![]() Wellies and boots should be up to 2 cm larger, for extra socks and insoles.A conservative judge who was heckled at Stanford Law School has claimed student protestors screamed that they hoped his daughters would be raped before the equity dean ambushed him in 'a staged public shaming'.įifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, who was appointed by Donald Trump, was asked to give a speech at the famous law school last week about the circuit's Court of Appeals by the student chapter of the Federalist Society. ![]() – Please note that when you purchase shoes for your child, you should select a size that is 1.5 cm larger than your child's foot. – Melissa shoes have a unique smell that is one of its hallmarks. – Meliflex® is a type of PVC that is 100% recyclable. – Made with the brand's specially formulated plastic called Meliflex®. – The most famous mouse couple lent their ears for the Disney Twins collaboration.

The metal for mine cost $230 to build.There are a few different methods for synchronizing an audio playback computer (running Ableton Live, Protools, etc.) and a video playback server (with ProVideoPlayer, Resolume, etc.). If you build a custom TV mount like i did, go to your local metal supply or welding shop and order the metal you will need to build a mount. ![]() I wouldn't suggest using 4k because your computer probably wont be able to handle that big of an output anyway. Go as big or little as you'd like but if you want quality make sure to get full 1080p TV's. But after bringing the manager down and doing a little bit of negotiating I was able to have them drop nearly $1,000 off of the price. I went to best buy and they told me that the price was set, and that was it. I don't care what they say bout their price points, the store can work with you. You can definitely able to negotiate on the price for tv's when your buying 6 at once. I went with some 55" toshiba's mainly because i was constrained to $3000 that I could spend on TV's. You're election of TV's will be a huge factor in the price of your complete build. (make sure whatever you get its an active adapter, otherwise you'll have issues with the sdi conversion. The output on the Matrox TripleHead2Go is full sized display port, but we need to go to HDMI, so you will need 6 of these adapters. You will need 6 adapters to go from HDMI to SDI, and 6 to go from SDI to HDMI ( they are not the same adapter)Įnough RG6 Quad Shield cable to run from the computer to each TV (took me nearly 1,000 feet) You need to convert from HDMI to SDI, and then from SDI back to HDMI The brand is Excelvan, and it works very well for the price ($40 and $46). The converters I used where fairly cheap compared to other models I've used in the past like the Blackmagic units (which are absolutely amazing by the way). HDMI has a limitation of about 15 meters without a signal booster, and even with one you may end up with dropped frames and video that acts weird. You can use an hdmi to cat5 converter, or what I chose to do was to cary the signal over to SDI so that you can run an HD signal the distance you need to. So it will take 2 of these tripplehead's to get our 6 screens hooked up.ĭepending on how far away your source computer is you're going to need to convert to another kind of cable, hdmi won't cary that far. What this does is takes one extremely large image, over 6800 pixels wide, and splits it up into 3 different outputs. Since we're trying to output to 6 different tv's but only have 2 thunderbolt outputs we need to get a matrox TripleHead2Go adapter. but the mac can not do this with 6 monitors, only 3. if it detects the triplehead's as one output instead of 2 you may be able to run it without any further software. Im not totally sure though because it depends on how the matrox software handles the outputs. ![]() You may not actually need this software though if you use a windows computer. I used ProVideoPlayer because I'm already using pro-presenter in the room for my lyrics control. ![]() That way you can make one big image instead of 6 small ones. You're going to need a screen mapping software to tell the computer which screen is which, and where they are physically positioned. If you would like to go portable i have also used my 15" macbook pro with this setup and it handles it almost better than the imac (15" i7 with 15gb of ram). I went with 16gb and have had good results. Also you will want to have a good amount of ram because you're going to be using massive resolution images and video going out to 6 different video streams all at once. If you decide to use a 21.5" imac instead of the big one, MAKE SURE IT HAS 2 THUNDERBOLT PORTS!!!. For the mac you are going to need a computer with two thunderbolt outputs. I went mac but it turns out using 6 screens with the matrox trippleheads, it would've been easier to use windows because they have a multi GXM control software for windows and only a single for mac. I spent nearly $5,500 to build the entire wall (including a new computer to handle it) and that price could've easily gone up if I didn't have a full plan ahead of time and needed to re-order, or purchase extra items to get it to work correctly.įor a computer there are many options, you can go windows or mac. The most important part to building anything is to have a good plan to start with, and while most of the time I don't worry about having every little detail figured out ahead of time ( because most of the time it just works itself out) in this case its a really good idea to have it all planned out. ![]() ![]() His failure to call the vote he had trailed ultimately weakened his position for the remainder of his premiership. ![]() However, the experience of Gordon Brown in 2007 should serve as the ultimate warning that once you set such general election rumours in motion, it’s hard to back down from them without losing face.Īfter letting everyone believe an early election was imminent, Brown dithered. If she starts to return ambiguous responses such as “not now” or “I couldn’t comment”, or if she changes the subject, that could indicate that she’s considering her options. Look out for changes in Truss’s language, tone and emphasis in response to questions about an election over the coming weeks. However, in reality it is what happens after the job is secured that really counts. Suggesting the nation be put through the turmoil of a general election is not a vote winning strategy, particularly at a time when the electorate is weary and concerned with other things. It’s par for the course for prospective prime ministers to talk down the possibility of an election before they actually get the job. A change of tune when asked the magic question If she can push the Tory poll figures back towards 40% (where it hovered for many years until recently), and there is a corresponding Labour fall, then it might make her think it’s a good idea to trigger a vote. A significant lead may encourage her to roll the dice and call a vote. Truss will be hopeful of returning her party to a healthy poll lead at the very least. ![]() Theresa May inherited a healthy parliamentary majority from her predecessor and then recklessly squandered it with an early vote that saw her forced into minority government. ![]() True, Boris Johnson secured an 80-seat parliamentary majority when he called an election in December 2019, shortly after taking office as a mid-term prime minister, but one doesn’t need to look further than his immediate predecessor to see how easily fortunes can swing in the other direction. Public opinion can be volatile once you’ve called an election so what looks like a strong lead can suddenly evaporate. Whether this materialises – and how large a lead she achieves – will be key in her decision to hold an election sooner or to hold off. Truss will be hoping for a poll bounce as the fresh face in 10 Downing Street. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can't go wrong making this delish Cheesy Potato Soup! It's easy! And so good!! How to Make It I might even use a shredded Monterey Jack, which is a pretty mild blend. So if you're looking for an alternative to Chihuahua Cheese, I would recommend using a mild, white melting cheese like Mozzarella or Provolone. Cheese - Some recipes for potato soup call for Cheddar cheese, which I find too strong in this soup.But you can always use any tasty chicken broth you prefer or substitute in chicken bouillon cubes and some water instead. Chicken Broth - I use Swanson Chicken Broth in a can.But really any white potato will work here. Potatoes - I like to use Yukon Gold Potatoes in this recipe because of their creamy texture.You can never really have enough bacon, can you? I may or may not be known for ignoring this limitation and use the entire pound. Bacon - This recipe for Cheesy Potato Soup calls for ½ pound of bacon.It's so tasty and versatile, it's sure to become a go-to favorite! Here's What You Need Use this handy Ingredient List while shopping for what you need to make this easy soup recipe! Notes on Ingredients But trust me, make the extra effort to find some Chihuahua Cheese at your local grocery store and you'll be glad you did. Mozzarella makes a good substitution if you cannot find Chihuahua Cheese. I like to use it in this recipe because it's so flavorful, and yet not as sharp as cheddar, which would overshadow the balance of flavors in this soup. It is our go-to melting cheese for party dips, quesadillas, eggs and tortillas, and so many other recipes.Ĭhihuahua Cheese is similar to mozzarella, but a little bolder in taste. Secret to this Recipe.are you ready for it? The secret flavor-boosting ingredient is Chihuahua Cheese! Queso Chihuahua, or Chihuahua Cheese, is a mild, beautifully flavored, Mexican melting cheese.

You can't go wrong. ![]() ![]() If not, put it off till your next upgrade. If you have a reasonably new graphics card and your BIOS allows you to set an option named something similar to “VT-d” (Intel) or “AMD Virtualization” (AMD), you should be good to go. ![]() GPU passthrough relies on some specific virtualisation technologies, so you’ll need to make sure your hardware supports it. This is a long, detailed post, so here’s a table of contents for easy traversal: Reports I’ve heard indicate that this is only a problem on CounterStrike: Global Offensive servers (as of ), but it could potentially become an issue for other VAC-protected games in the future. WARNING: GPU passthrough and VAC: Competitive gamers playing on servers protected by Valve Anti-Cheat may want to think twice before setting something like this up as their primary gaming machine, as VAC may detect it’s running in a VM and ban you. Part 3 is a bit rarer: it contains a number of small, important things you’ll want to do post-setup to get everything working nicely so you can actually use your setup. Parts 1 and 2 detail getting passthrough and your VM setup, and are largely similar to the most popular guides already extant. I’ve also got some help and input from a couple friends and colleagues who’ve also set this up and had slightly different experiences with it. You’ll probably need to refer to them and others while setting this up, because what worked on my machine may not work on yours. ![]() Much of the guide to follow is paraphrased from other sources, to which links have been provided. It wasn’t completely straightforward, and I did experience a couple moments of despair where I thought some tiny but important feature or behaviour was impossibly incompatible with my setup, but ultimately I got everything working, to the point where I’m writing this guide to save others the same despair and frantic googling. ![]() That was a few months ago, and so far I’m very happy with the setup. Once I was sure that everything worked (a much quicker process than anticipated) I replaced that Windows install with a Windows VM and went full passthrough.įallout 4 below, screenfetch above, Synergy in control Luckily, I had a spare SSD I wasn’t using for much, so I was able to isolate an experimental passthrough Ubuntu install to that SSD without touching my Windows installation on my PC’s other SSD. GPU passthrough seemed like exactly what I needed. It’s also incredibly annoying when Windows 10 runs into a :( face BSOD 2 and decides to restart immediately, crashing my poor, innocent Ubuntu VM along with it – if there’s one thing you can say about most mainstream Linux distros, it’s that full system crashes don’t really happen. And while I enjoy plenty of Windows-only games and programs, I vastly prefer the heavily configurable and less opaque Linux way for doing everything outside of running those games and programs. This virtualised usage also meant that I couldn’t really use Linux to operate my PC: the VM only got started for programming tasks. But I could never get sound to work on my Ubuntu VMs and would often accidentally make the storage too small and have to go through the chore of extending vmdks. Virtualising Ubuntu on a Windows base improved on that by allowing the use of both operating systems simultaneously: I could put full-screen the Ubuntu VM on one of my monitors and use Windows programs on the other with only the occasional Ctrl-Alt breaking the flow. So at best you tend to spend a few weeks in Windows, a few weeks in Linux, and at worst you forget about one of the OSes entirely. If you’re on Ubuntu and want to play a game, or on Windows and want to do some programming, you have to stop, close everything you’re busy with, reboot the computer, choose the other option on your Grub screen, and then log in again. With dual-booting, the other OS on your system is a full reboot away. Neither of these approaches fully satisfied me. I’ve tried the obvious options: I dual-booted Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop for most of my university career, and more recently I’ve tried just running a Windows host with a virtualised Ubuntu in VMWare. ![]() GPU passthrough: gaming on Windows on Linux 8 September 2016įor a long time, I’ve been trying to figure out just how to get the best of both worlds in terms of running Windows and Ubuntu 1 on my desktop PC. ![]() ![]() ![]() And he’s like, “Who’s here?” I’m just rattling off who’s in the building, his guys. Joe Torre comes in the restaurant, it’s packed, and he waits at the door for me, and I’m walking into his table. “Hey, Joe, I need a table.” And we’re walking through. Don Zimmer, Joe Torre, Mattingly, I mean, they all just came in, one at a time. There was a rain-out game, and the phone started ringing. So it would always be me, one server, and restaurant would be closed, but we would take care of him. And he would always come in after the game, so it was always late. Joe Torre was the manager, and he was a regular customer at Davio’s when they were in town. Going back to the Davio’s days, I became a Yankees fan. Tell me about your most memorable customers over the years. Joe Torre helps a fan who asked for a selfie. We were just trying to do something, just to keep us going. So I would deliver food to all these houses for a cooking class-slash-wine dinner, and each course would be where the winemaker would talk about it. We did a few virtual wine dinners, which was great. And then we closed again and waited until we were able to go full capacity. Then we closed, then we reopened for minimal dining, where we had all the plastic panels up. People preordered and we tried to do takeout where we ran it out to their cars. I volunteered for everything, not that I wanted to get out of the house, but I wanted to do something. Then we reopened - my dog is attacking me, I’m sorry. So the restaurant was getting remodeled, and we were closed for a week. We had closed for renovation of the restaurant a week before COVID. How did how did COVID affect your career? So what did you do during that period? You know, eventually they’ll get to yours. If they can’t get into that restaurant, they’ll go to another. But I think the more restaurants, the better, because people are going to come down. At first, I always thought that, sometimes it’s too many restaurants. ![]() They’re just large restaurants and, you know, they fill them. I look at Davio’s in the Seaport: That thing is a beast. You can’t make a small restaurant anymore. I mean, you go down the Seaport now, it’s just so big. How has the Boston food scene changed since you were first working as a server? And just walk around, because it’s a great place to walk around. I always tell people either Uber in or maybe park at one of the outskirts, you know, the parking lots. So, imagine that little area is closed off. They’re starting to a film movie at Bova’s, Ben Affleck’s movie. And they’re not letting you by because they’re worried they have to take the building down piece by piece. They have barriers, and you have to walk down. We had a building collapse, where a roof caved in - the building was vacant - and the street’s been closed for over three weeks now. Closing the tunnel on the weekends, that makes it hard to get into the city. I think it’s more people just moving into the city. ![]() These apartment buildings, they just keep going up and up. I think it’s just gotten a little more congested. There weren’t as many restaurants, you know? You could still walk around. How has the North End changed over the years? At the end of the day, it helps everybody. … Maybe it’s a minimum maybe it’s less seating outside but still some seating. You have the emergency vehicles, which is hard to do. I always said that it would be a great street to just close off and have people walk it, but then you have the fire trucks. I always thought Hanover Street should have been a closed street where they had sidewalk seating. … Even the residents, I think they’re going to miss it. But I thought it was really nice for the North End. So it could be an inconvenience for them. It’s tough because you lose parking spots. Looking at it from the residents’ point of view: Sure. ![]() What’s your take on the outdoor dining situation in the North End? And they approached me and said: “Any chance you can come work with us? We really could use the help.” So they caught me at a weak moment, I guess. They were from East Boston the Yebba family. Then I went up to Teresa’s in North Reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's something I’ve never done before, so I was excited to try something new. If I was going to convey the things I wanted to say, I would have to be darker. He further elaborated that he "wanted to show I have things I want to say, but I kept feeling like, if I did them in the same style I always have, they wouldn't come across well. In an interview for Weverse Magazine published in June 2022, the rapper divulged his desire to showcase a "different side of me.an extremely dark, raw side" in his current projects, in contrast to the "sunny demeanor" he often displays. Jack in the Box represents J-Hope's "own musical personality and vision as an artist" and his "aspirations to break the mold and grow further". Recording sessions and mixing for the album took place at Hope World, The Rock Pit, Dogg Bounce and HYBE Studio in South Korea Miss Lana Media and BC Mix in Los Angeles The One With The Big Bulb Sky Movement Studios in Barbados Katalyst Studios in New York City and Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood. His goal at present was "to get inspired and make good music." He added that Hope World 's creation had greatly influenced his progression as a musician and artist since 2018, and while his style would not change much, it would be more mature. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2021 about the likelihood of a second mixtape, J-Hope disclosed that he had been working on his music continuously, but nothing was decided as yet. The trilingual " Chicken Noodle Soup" single, featuring American singer Becky G, followed in the latter part of the year. Despite these insecurities, the rapper also expressed feeling motivated by his bandmates' successes "to write great songs and want to work with great artists". He further elaborated that a lack of confidence in his skills as a musician, especially in comparison to that of his bandmates, made him feel unprepared and hesitant to try collaborating with other artists. He did not release any new music for some time after that, citing disappointment with the mixtape as a reason during a livestream in January 2019. It peaked at number 38 on the US Billboard 200 and made him the highest-charting Korean soloist on the ranking at the time. J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, Hope World, on March 2, 2018. A limited edition vinyl version was released in December 2022. The album sold over 470,000 copies in its release week and was certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). It debuted at number 3 in South Korea, number 11 in Japan, and number 17 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. ![]() Originally only available as a digital album, Jack in the Box charted in 17 territories, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The album was not released in the traditional CD format. Primarily an old-school hip hop record, the album features a blend of genres, including pop, grunge, and R&B. ![]() A concept album revolving around the story of Pandora's box, Jack in the Box discusses themes of passion, ambition, humanity, insecurity, success, and anxiety about the future. It contains 10 tracks, including the lead single, " More", which preceded it on July 1, and the follow-up single, "Arson", which was released the same day as the album, together with an accompanying music video. Jack in the Box is the debut studio album of South Korean rapper J-Hope, released on July 15, 2022, through Big Hit Music. ![]() |
