![]() When the Alt-mode technology is active the 2nd part of the docking station (DisplayLink) is not working at start if it is not needed. Alt-mode is responsible for raising HDMI monitor (the only one you use in your case). One of them is called Alt-mode it is only working when you are using USB-C. The case with D6000 is that it is using two technologies. In contact with DisplayLink support, I have received this answer: I've searched but found nothing about these specific issues with macOS. After this, a new audio device is shown (Dell USB Audio) and I can disconnect the 3.5mm cable and connect again without needing to reconnect the whole dock. This hack only works if the cable is already connected before I unplug the dock. Both don't work, but, similarly to the Ethernet problem, it does work if I unplug and plug the dock again after macOS has booted. This dock has both a 3.5mm audio out on the back and a 3.5mm headset (in/out) on the front. It just doesn't work when I boot the MacBook with the dock already connected. What I found out is that if I disconnect the entire dock from the MacBook and connect it again, it does work, it shows the Ethernet adapter as connected. Unplugging and plugging the cable again does not fix it. It does show up on Network settings, but it shows as disconnected. The first one is that Ethernet does not work. In short, I had to reboot while Sound settings window was open (makes no sense), but it worked, now I have the LG ULTRAWIDE audio output device and sound is working fine through HDMI.īut now I have two more problems. I noticed that no sound was coming through HDMI and in Sound settings there was no HDMI output device. Even though the display was already working, I've installed DisplayLink drivers anyway. When I connected the dock for the first time through USB-C, the MacBook already started to charge and my LG Ultrawide monitor was being displayed as a second screen, no problems there. You must use a product that has DisplayLink technology within it in order to use two external displays with an M1 Mac.I've recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro and I'm trying to use a Dell D6000 dock that I already had for Windows/Linux laptops. A Mac with an M1 processor can support only one external display via a Thunderbolt 3 device.Īs a result, even if the adapter were working while using standard HDMI to HDMI video cables (cables with a HDMI connector on both ends) only one display would work when connected to an M1 Mac. ![]() In addition, the StarTech adapter you are using relies on the internal display capabilities of the host Mac in order to work. ![]() They will not work in the opposite direction as you are attempting. As a result, DisplayLink will not be able to help.įurther to this, the DisplayPort to HDMI video cables you mention using can only work in one 'direction', from a DisplayPort video output to a HDMI video input. It does not have DisplayLink Technology inside of it. The StarTech adapter you are using is a Thunderbolt 3 device.

The main thing to consider when choosing from among the best 7-string guitars is comfort. Others might have active ceramic pickups, and some models, like the Cort KX500MS and Jackson’s X Series SLAT7, boast a slanted bridge and fanned frets for different scale lengths across the strings. Some models, like a few of John Petrucci’s signature instruments, feature whammy bars. Find out more about how we test.Įvery 7-string guitar has its own unique features and selling points.

One of the best 7-string guitars money can buy. Naturally, the PRS SE Mark Holcomb 7-string djents with the best of them, but there’s a lot more to his guitar than just high gain tones – from its classy looks and comfortable body design to switchable single-coil sizzle. You really don’t need to be a fan of Mark Holcomb’s band, American tech-metal masters Periphery, to appreciate this glorious signature 7-string in the PRS SE series. While the originators, Ibanez, have always been at the forefront of this style, there are also worthy considerations from the likes of Jackson, Schecter, and even PRS – all of which and more are covered in our guide to the best 7-string guitars. There was a time when 7-string guitars were few and far between, but thankfully things have changed. Developed with shred legend Steve Vai, the Universe model would inspire a whole new generation of players. The Music Zoo is an Authorized Ibanez Dealer! Shop for your Ibanez Guitar on our site now, or visit our showroom on Long Island, New York! Ibanez is a brand that has been a mainstay in the world of guitars since being founded by the Hoshino Gakki company in 1908.Though seven-string acoustic guitars actually date as far back as the early 19th century, the first mass-produced electric version arrived in 1990 courtesy of Japanese guitar giant, Ibanez. Ibanez has been a go-to brand for players who need their instrument be depended on night after night on stages across the world. ![]() The 1970s saw the rise of Ibanez as a brand through players such as Paul Stanley of KISS with the wild-bodied Iceman, and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead with his ornate Professional Model 2680. Keeping at the cutting edge of Hard Rock and Metal music, Ibanez developed guitars such as the RG and S (Saber) guitars which guitarists who needed their guitars to have flat radius fretboards, big frets, and divebomb tremolo systems. These models have been embraced by players such as Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Tosin Abasi, Munky of Korn, and Nita Strauss – many of which have their own Ibanez signature models. Perhaps one of the most popular models Ibanez ever developed was the JEM: the Steve Vai signature instrument, complete with its tree of life fretboard inlays, and signature ‘monkey grip’ body cutout. The guitar remains a coveted instrument to this day! Similar to the JEM is the Ibanez Universe, which was the first mass-produced 7-string electric guitar which was developed with Vai and Ibanez, and quickly embraced in the 1990s by bands who needed something different to provide their heavier tones. Not only useful for Hard Rock and Metal, Ibanez also specializes in guitars for Jazz and Blues with their semi-hollow and hollowbody instruments. The affordable and excellent looking Artcore Series gives players of all levels unique finish options as well as body configurations. Ibanez also offers signature hollowbodies for players such as George Benson and Pat Metheny. ![]() ![]() In one instance reported by Fox News, a 15-year-old boy was blackmailed by a member of an online gym enthusiast group who used generative AI to edit a photo of the boy’s bare chest into a nude. In an even more disturbing example of the ways in which generative porn tech is being used, there’s been a small but meaningful uptick in the amount of photorealistic AI-generated child sexual abuse material circulating on the dark web. Just a few months ago, a 22-year-old was sentenced to six months in jail for taking underage womens’ photos from social media and using them to create sexually explicit deepfakes. The vast majority of pornographic deepfakes on the web depict women, in truth - and frequently, they’re weaponized.Ī Washington Post piece recounts how a small-town school teacher lost her job after students’ parents learned about AI porn made in the teacher’s likeness without her consent. To this day, the targeted creators receive copies of the images via DMs as a form of harassment. ![]() The creator of the deepfaked images eventually succumbed to pressure, agreeing to delete them.

The apps and the AI models underpinning them struggled to understand the nuances of anatomy, often generating physically bizarre subjects that wouldn’t be out of place in a Cronenberg film. And the results weren’t what anyone would call “good.” When TechCrunch covered efforts to create AI porn generators nearly a year ago, the apps were nascent and relatively few and far between.

In that case, a 9-Grid could help you create a strong professional presence on your profile so that anyone who finds you there can see that you're a real person with a real business, then click your bio link to check out your website. HOWEVER, let's say you ARE a visual portfolio based brand (for kicks and giggles: pretend you're a high-end graphic designer) BUT you get your clients predominantly via word-of-mouth referrals and are hardly on social anyways. If feed posts are working for you, you don't need this Toolkit. The whole point of the 9-Grid is to free businesses up from what is NOT working for THEM so they can prioritize their energy where they'll get the most ROI. However, utilizing 3 "Pinned Posts" at the top of your feed would be a great idea! If your Instagram stats and analytics reveal that your feed posts are gaining great traction, reach, and engagement, then you might want to keep posting there. ![]() That means if your biz is brand new, a 9-Grid could still be an awesome choice!* But here's how you can determine if this is NOT a good fit for you: If your brand requires a visual portfolio AND you get most inquiries or sales through Instagram (example: photographer, hair stylist, tattoo artist, painter, calligrapher, graphic designer, and certain educators whose followers interact a lot with your feed and DM you to book) you might want to stick with posting to the feed like normal. Why did I do it? HOW did I do it? What results did I expect to get? Could I teach them how to do it too? Today, a YEAR since taking my 9-Grid LIVE and tracking my results, I'm ready to spill all the details and show you the ropes so you can step back from posting to the grid, and put your time and energy back where it's already netting you your best results.Ī 9-Grid is a great fit for a LARGE variety of industries! I've helped coaches, course creators, membership leaders, mastermind hosts, service providers, and even software companies strategize their 9-Grids! And nope, you don't need to have a certain amount of followers to successfully utilize one. When the world woke up and saw what I did, I was flooded with DMs and new followers clamoring for answers. So late one night while my entire IG audience was sleeping, I archived my entire profile feed and replaced it with the 9-Grid, a strategic sales funnel designed to warm up new leads and GET ME THE HECK OFF OF THE INSTAGRAM HAMSTER WHEEL.and it WORKED. But I struggled to justify the 7+ weekly hours I poured into social media content creation just to see a totally lackluster (read: basically zero) return on my investment. I danced around on Reels, used 30 strategic hashtags per post, posted new captions 3-5 times per week, interacted with accounts for 30 minutes a day. I tried everything I could to make the algorithm robots happy. ![]() ![]() Can I tell you a story? When the global pandemic hit, my feed post engagement took a nosedive and never recovered. Is Instagram even worth it anymore? Should you stick around? Oooof. As your reach and engagement stats continue to tank, you're feeling more frustrated than ever. Your time is so stretched these days from writing feed posts, posting Stories, recording Reels, and answering DMs. A little birdie told me that you’re exhausted from creating so much content for Instagram, and the algorithm is KUH-ILL-ING you. ![]() ![]() Our automotive landscape, the 2.2-litre turbodiesel is the one to have.All models continue to be powered by the 2.2L CRDi Turbodiesel 4-cylinder “Smartstream” engine mated to an 8-speed conventional automatic.

Finally, some of its features are bit buggy, but the same can be said of Illustrator as well.įor those learning graphic design, Inkscape is a good starting point. Also, it provides very limited kerning options. Fortunately, there are now a lot of alternatives that enable you to create graphic designs of a professional caliber with flexible controls that are easy for a novice to use but have much more sophisticated tools for an experienced user. There are, though, some important features that are missing, such as support for Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors and multiple pages, and it lacks a gradient mesh tool. Best of all, it provides all this for free, and there is a large network of users to provide support. ![]() It can also read Illustrator native files (AI), albeit imperfectly. Like Illustrator, it has limited support as well for raster graphics. It further has a multilingual interface, supporting 90 different languages.Īmong its many features are pen and pencil tools, lots of geometrical primitive tools, text and calligraphy tools, and spray and paint bucket tools. It also comes with a wide range of quality filters, and its functionality can be extended.

Lean To Pergola Roof Glazing Guide Roof Sheet / Glazing Type There are three main glazing options for Pergolas which are Axiome® Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheets, Axgard® Solid Glazing Sheets or Glass. The next key question to address is what your structure is going to be made of and there are two options here wooden or aluminium. Is it a timber pergola or self supporting Pergola? This is because the flatter slope can look more natural on top of a decking or patio area and be a more subtle natural shape in your garden! 2. In comparison, flat roof pergolas are between 5 to 10 degrees so are the typical choice when you are creating a freestanding pergola in your garden. This means pitched roof pergolas tend to be popular for lean to pergolas that are against a house wall or on a back door patio. Slope roof pergolas or slanted roof pergolas are 10 degrees plus which creates a distinctive silhouette and can be great in complementing the angle on your house. Pergolas can actually be created to any angle however, the pergola style tends to be low pitch roof and a minimum 5 degree pitch is considered to be normal best practiseĭid you know that the steeper the slope of your pergola the more self cleaning it will naturally be? The steeper the pitch the better the rain and water run off will be which in turn cleans your roof better and reduces the chance of direct/leaves settling on top When thinking of the pitch, or slope, of a pergola most people tend to envision either flat or a medium pitch, however, every pergola most have a slight pitch to allow for water drainage. Are you creating a flat roof pergola or a pitched roof pergola? Timber Pergola or self supporting & what glazing bars?ġ. ![]() ![]() The ultimate aim is to reach a critical mass of training data through crowdsourcing which can be augmented and used as input to train a machine learning algorithm for automatic detection on a larger scale. This activity forms the first part of a research project on the systematic prospection of archaeological cropmarks. However, a more thorough analysis would need to be carried out on possible false negatives and biases related to the varying ease of interpretation of residues of different archaeological structures from multiple historical periods. This leads to the conclusion that the Bing Maps Bird’s Eye service contains a wealth of information useful for archaeological prospection, and that to a certain extent citizen researchers could help to mine this information. While many of these detections may be erroneous, some correspond with archaeological cropmarks of buried remains of buildings, roads, aqueducts, and urban areas from the Roman period, as verified by comparison with archaeological survey data. Amongst these completed tasks, positive detections of cropmarks were recorded once for 1447 tasks, twice for 57 tasks, and three or more times for 10 tasks. As of 5 July 2020, 18,765 of the total 67,014 tasks have been completed. For each tile, the Bing Maps Bird’s Eye service provides oblique air photo coverage in up to four possible orientations. While the project is still on-going, at least one seamless coverage of tiles in the area of interest has been interpreted. On this platform, which is hosted by the company Scifabric (Southampton, UK) and based on PyBossa, an Open Source framework for crowdsourcing, members of the public are invited to interpret oblique air photo tiles of Bing Maps Bird’s Eye. This pilot project attempts to assess the potential to use the Microsoft Bing Maps Bird’s Eye service within a crowdsourcing platform to systematically search for archaeological cropmarks in the surroundings of the city of Rome in Italy. Therefore, their detection is typically serendipitous. Given that archaeological prospection is not generally the priority of most common Web Mapping Services, the conditions under which images are acquired are not always suitable for the appearance of cropmarks. ![]() These can, in some cases, reveal cropmarks of buried historical structures. Web Mapping Services, such as Microsoft Bing Maps, provide imagery covering extensive areas at high resolution. Cost-effective techniques for systematic archaeological prospection are essential to improve the efficiency of preventive archaeology and the preservation of cultural heritage. ![]() ![]() The design elements should be centered so that they all fit nicely when Instagram crops your image into its highlight cover circle. ![]() If you're not going to use a premade template to create your own highlight covers, you need to make sure that you follow a few design rules first so that your DIY covers still look polished and professional.Īccording to social media management software developer Buffer, your highlight cover images should have the following: Step 2: There are design rules to making highlight covers. Canva has thousands of free highlight cover templates to choose from that you can then customize and use for your own purposes.Īnd then once you're done editing your covers on Canva's online image editor, you can just download them and insert them into your Stories, or when prompted to edit your cover while creating a new Highlight or editing an existing Highlight, you can tap the photo icon to add one of your Canva-designed images as a cover. If you want to go the route of creating your own highlight covers (but not necessarily totally from scratch), you should consider using a graphic design platform like Canva. Step 1: Use a service like Canva to design your own highlight covers. This way, the cover image doesn't have to be a part of your Highlight. Or you can create your own highlight cover image and then add it as a cover when prompted by the app. Instead of just defaulting to the first image in your Story, you can create your own highlight cover image and then use that as the first image in your Story so that it appears first in your Highlight, and is then used as your highlight cover. In the following steps, we'll go over the basics of what it takes to design your own Instagram highlight cover. In the next two sections, we'll go over how you can do that. (There are other ways to pick another image to be your cover, but more about that later.) But either way, you'll want to make sure that image looks as aesthetically pleasing and as relevant to your brand or storytelling as possible. The highlight cover usually defaults to whatever that first image is. The image you see featured in the cover is usually (but not always) the first image in the Highlight slideshow itself. Put simply, an Instagram highlight cover is one of those little circle icons on an Instagram account profile that, when you tap on it, opens up its related Instagram Highlight. In this guide, we'll go over what a highlight cover is, how to make one, and then how to add your highlight cover to your Instagram highlight. If that's your goal, we can give you some pointers on how to up your Instagram highlight cover game so you can reach it. ![]() And they're kind of an important entry point, right?
