If you’re on the quiet side when it comes to speaking, your close threshold may cut off your voice if it’s too low.ĭon’t be too concerned with the other settings. You want a pretty tight threshold range, but it’s easy to have the quiet parts of your voice cut off. You’ll want to experiment a bit with this by doing some practice recordings. Increase the open threshold until it doesn’t show any input, then bring it down slightly from there. ![]() Your microphone shouldn’t be picking up anything unless you’re talking! To set the open threshold, start talking and you should see that the sound bar is picking up your voice. If any noise is being picked up by OBS, just move the close threshold closer to zero until there is no more background noise being picked up. Computers on, housemates watching TV, anything that would typically come up in your recording. To calibrate it better, you should sit completely silent in front of your mic, with average background noise. This means that the mic will mute any sounds quieter than -32 db and when the mic hits -26 db it will turn on the mic. ![]() By default, the noise gate will come with a Close Threshold of -32 db and an open threshold of -26 db. ![]() In an ideal streaming scenario, your talking voice will open the noise gate, but background noise will not.ĭialing in your noise gate may require some trial and error. Noise gates work by only turning on the microphone once it detects a certain decibel range.

Something to bear in mind if cloud storage forms an important part of your overall backup strategy. ![]() NB – As of time of wiring, Macrium do not have built-in support for cloud backups, this could be worked around with the help of local cloud synchronisation software although such a solution might not be ideal (or even work at all). Configuring a File-Level Backupįrom within the main application we can start configuring a file-level backup by clicking on “Create a File and Folder backup” on the left side menu and then selecting any files and folders we wish to backup:Īfter all files are selected for backup the next task is to select a location to store the backed-up files, options include a locally attached drive such as an external hard drive or a network attached drive (such as one available through a NAS system). I the next section I will open up the software itself and look at getting an initial backup running with Reflect 8 Home. With all of the above options set, the install is quickly on its way to completing and the software was installed in just a few moments on my test system. ![]() With the additional downloading of data complete, the installation can continue, next we are asked to input various information pertaining to the configuration of the software including (when applicable) a licence key, any additional features to be installed and whether or not to optionally register for Macrium support whilst using the trial version. Once registered, downloading is quick thanks to the installer being just over 5MB in size, although another 162MB is downloaded as a part of the installation process which does go on to delay things somewhat further. Installing Reflect 8 begins by visiting the Macrium Reflect 8 homepage where a 30 day free trial version of the application can be downloaded (a valid email address must be registered in order to access the trial download). With an already renowned disk imaging and cloning tool at its core, plus plenty of new backup features added on top, I am excited to see what Macrium Reflect 8 Home can do, let’s go! This includes facilitating both file and image level backups, the ability to schedule and password protect backups, create rescue media and make images suitable for use with virtual machines amongst many other features included right out of the box. The popular Macrium Reflect free version ( previously reviewed here) has for a long time been a “go to” application for many when it comes to imaging an existing Windows system either for backup purposes or during the process of migrating to a new hard disk drive or even to an entirely new PC.Īs the premium version, Reflect 8 Home takes things a step further and brings in much more backup related functionality to the core application making for a fully functional backup tool. Reflect 8 Home is the latest premium backup software offering from disk imaging experts, Macrium. ![]() In the latter case, alerts through the app keep you posted on whether the lock thinks you are at home (unlocked), or away (locked), but there are warnings such as not to turn your phone off while away otherwise the location data can be inaccurate. The Yale Linus lock offers Bluetooth proximity unlocking, which works well enough, and geofenced lock/unlock, which also works but seems a little unnecessary. The main benefit (apart from easy installation), is that the insurance rating of your lock should be unaffected, and the Linus can be removed at a later date without major work – ideal for a rental situation. It’s an ingenious solution and with the supplied screws and backplate it’s easy enough to attach to the interior of a Euro cylinder door. When triggered, Linus turns the key on the inside, unlocking the door. The premise here is that the exterior Euro cylinder lock and handle remain untouched, while the interior handle is removed, a key inserted into the lock, and the Linus Smartlock screwed on top. Indeed, the similarities to the US-only August One locks are considerable. The Linus lock is one of Yale’s most recent forays into smart locks, and takes a more US-style approach to tackle the problem of smartening up home security. Dimensions: 28cm x 6.2cm (internal door plate).Smart home platforms: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit. ![]() The attention to detail is impressive, and the quality is equally so. These can all be used to open the door, a fact that makes it very unlikely you’ll be accidentally locked out. Indeed, the biggest faff in setup is syncing all the various elements – we had the lock, a wifi hub, a key fob, a separate number pad and a smartphone. ![]() The clever bits are numerous, but keeping your existing exterior handle is one of them, as is the fact that you can always use an old-fashioned key if you have to. Three screws later (and having inserted a new Brisant Euro cylinder core), and you have a smart lock. Designed to be user-installed, the kit comes with a variety of fitting options to suit most sizes of multi-point locking systems. The Brisant Ultion Nuki is the product of a partnership between UK security brand Brisant, and European smart home firm Nuki – the latter providing the tech, the former providing the security nous. We chose several locks from the established market leader for high-quality door locks, Yale, as well as some newer challengers. The smart locks on the list are a selection of UK-specific locks that fit British doors, an area of potential confusion we’ll dip into fully further down. We didn’t physically attack the locks to check for robustness or try to break in using aggressive digital hacking techniques. We then carried out a range of methods of opening (if available), over an extended period to check for consistency and any connectivity issues. We installed the locks into our test door(s), and connected them to an accompanying app and/or wider smart home platform like Alexa, Google Home or Apple Homekit. We set out to test a wide range of locks that are available and compatible with UK locksets - many US brands are not. The best smart locks have backup options so you can open the door if the batteries in the lock go flat, the wifi is down, or a brand’s servers suffer an outage. Some smart locks take this a step further, using keypads so a master code unlocks the door (if your keys are lost or your phone battery is exhausted), and in some cases fingerprint readers. This authenticates you to the lock and allows you to control it. The latter options contain a unique, virtual key that’s ideally encrypted to prevent interception. To unlock the smart lock, you will need a key, which can range from a standard metal key to a digital version in a mobile app, a credit card or a fob. The best smart locks work by replacing part of your existing locking system with a ‘smart’ element that can unlock the door – in some cases physically retracting the bolts, in others allowing the keyholder to do so using the manual handle. ![]() ![]() We’ve all used a serif font at one point or another. Let’s take a look at each type of font to understand how and what they communicate differently. There are six different font styles, each equipped with different characteristics-ranging from respectable heritage to boldly confident. Similar to the many parts of the business, each part of a design needs to work together as a unified whole to achieve its goal. This is why understanding font psychology is so important, as we’re looking to enhance aesthetic appeal to our target audience, alongside color and shape. A way to do this is through Picture Superiority Effect, a theory that says people remember pictures more than words. Overall unity and consistency in design play a big part in reinforcing a strong relationship between your brand and potential customers. Swerves and curves in the font convey a soft and cute look and feel. Generating these feelings of excitement, trust and anticipation mean people will be excited to engage and buy from you. The perfect combination of fonts for social media posts makes it more likely that consumers will continue to return and engage with your content. If you’re designing for a flash sale, the right signage fonts will help prompt consumers to buy instead of browsing. One of the key tools in the design toolkit is the knack of picking fonts that will inspire and empower your message, enabling you to achieve the goals you set out to. When we design something, there’s an end goal in mind. Opening yourself up to understanding how people react to fonts means you have influence over how your design and business are perceived by who you’d like to target. Why you should use font psychologyīehind font psychology lies the power to drive your decisions and goals. With the right cultural context and knowledge, shape and color can be deployed to successfully create the mood you want your font to embody. Color psychology also plays an enormous role in changing human mood, fluctuating through different hues and shades. A font could have more roundness to create a relaxing, soothing wave, or rigid lines, soliciting a completely different look and feel from its viewer. This would impact fonts too since they have elements in geometric forms. In shape psychology, we’d be looking at its geometric form and how that elicits an emotion or feeling from the viewer. ![]() It’s also worth bearing in mind the rules of shape and color psychology, too. Learn more about the rules, terms and such in our guide to typography design > Shape and color psychology This also has an effect on font psychology, if you wanted to evoke thoughts of tallness or slimness, adjusting the spacing or deciding whether to use uppercase or lowercase will have an impact on an individual’s perception and thoughts of the font and brand. In brief, typography is the art of constructing a message in a way that will be visually pleasing. Lettering design by Mky Typographyīefore we delve further into fonts and their possible meanings, the basic rules and terms of typography need to be applied and considered too. This perception will then also be associated with the fitness brand. For example, if someone sees a fitness brand that is about gaining strength using a bold font, the customers will see that font and think: thick, bulky and heavy. When an individual sees a font, they make an association between the font and a trait. It’s a step-by-step guide dissecting how we perceive fonts and what we associate with them. One theory that is used in psychology to explain how a font is perceived by other people is the Kolenda Font Model. Depending on what we’re looking at, we’ll have our thoughts, feelings and actions impacted in different ways. According to Albert Mehrabian’s Rule of Personal Communication, 93% of personal connection is non-verbal, meaning ideas and values need to get across in the simplest way possible. In essence, font psychology is the visual and emotional reaction you have to the font you’re seeing. Let’s take a closer look at what font psychology means, what it says about you and your business and which styles best represent you. Especially in the digital age, a connection is more important than ever, and an important reason why brands and businesses should carefully consider what font truly gets the job done. Illustration by OrangeCrushīut what makes a good, successful font? The answer comes in the form of font psychology, meaning there’s a connected emotional and visual reaction to whichever font you may choose to represent yourself. The successful ones will stick with us, while those that miss the mark mean something isn’t doing the job it needs to. We see millions of fonts every single day, from the news we read to the adverts we pass on the way to work. ![]() We’ve already played a game where things can be conjured up or erased at a whim (see: the shiritori episode). Every single time a fan comes up with some pathetic theory about their favorite cartoons, it’s either always “It’s just a dream!” or “It’s in his/her head!” This ain’t Fight Club and Sora ain’t Tyler Durden. Who else could it be? And please, don’t do the whole “Sora never existed! He was only in Shiro’s head!” bullshit. The only remaining candidate - and it’s an obvious candidate too since she even shows up in the episode itself - is Kurami. It wouldn’t make sense for any of the other races to randomly challenge him either. I’m 99% sure he hasn’t started a game against the Warbeasts yet. Obviously, the way he was talking to someone right before he disappeared kinda implied that he was already in the middle of some game. So what happened to Sora anyway? It doesn’t really seem like a big mystery to me. Enjoy your creepypasta.īut anyway, I guess should discuss the story. Nowadays, it seems all you simply have to do to scare anyone is to take something that they cherish - preferably something with nostalgic value - and make it seem “off.” That’s it. Have you heard the famous one about a kid playing Majora’s Mask and how the cartridge was supposedly haunted? This guy even created all these boring Youtube videos of him playing his haunted copy, but all it really amounted to was a bunch of cheap hacks to make the gameplay seem a touch off-kilter. Add some random static and voila! Creepypasta! It’s like all those crappy horror stories about video games on 4chan. Don’t ask me how, but I bet you they do.That’s just how it is nowadays. ![]() I bet people find the tweaked ED creepy and disturbing though. Hell, the most recent example was in Kill la Kill, so you’ll pardon me if I’m not blown away by Madhouse’s latest trick. It’s been done countless of times before. After all, this isn’t the first time an anime has messed with an ED. I mean, that’s really all the praise I can give since it was also kind of expected. Still, removing Sora from the ED was… an okay touch on Madhouse’s part. But uguu, it really tears me up that her nii-san is gone! Good riddance, right? But people pissed and moaned about how utterly tragic it was. To me, it was just another one-dimensional moe character biting the dust. The same sort of thing happened when Steins Gate‘s Mayuri died over and over. And even though Shiro’s just another blatant wish-fulfillment character for otakus everywhere - a diminutive imouto who will never leave my side and is just as into nerd interests as I am?! - with hardly any personality, anything sad that happens to her is just the worst thing ever. Rather, people are sad because Shiro’s sad. Having said that, a lot of anime fans seem to love Sora’s personality for some reason, but I digress. Nah, it’s not because they are actually sad to see him go. ![]() All across the blogs and forums, a whole bunch of people will cry over the fact that Sora has disappeared from Shiro’s life. ![]() Folders' and files' names are not clear.You are enabled to check and manage your iOS data only after a full backup.You can easily access your pictures over WiFi, for it shows all the images, including hidden ones with the specific folder like Selfie, Favorite, etc. This iPhone picture transfer software is able to keep the photo library on an iPhone sync with the photos and allows you to copy selective images by drag and drop.
