I’ll kill him,” said the old man suddenly. “Jiangying, I can’t endure it any longer. You’ve betrayed the hopes of everyone before you,” said the Dongfang family’s head righteously. You are the most muddleheaded leader throughout the history of the Martial Heaven Alliance. “Qu Jianying, you’re using the power that the ancestors of the Martial Heaven Alliance left behind for fighting amongst ourselves instead of the incoming powerful enemies! If the ancestors were to learn of this, they definitely wouldn’t be able to rest in peace. The Martial Heaven Virtue Tablet was still pushing forward against so many powerful divine items. Even though they have declined to the point of fracturing, their foundation still remains.” “The Martial Heaven Alliance really lives up to being the number one alliance. The ground constantly shook and exploded, unleashing huge waves that filled the sky. However, the Martial Heaven Virtue Tablet was slowly pressing forward, forcing them all back. They had multiple powerful divine items on their side. Do you think that on your own, you can fight against the rest of the world?” sneered the Dongfang family’s head. “Qu Jianying, your selfishness has led you to betray the will of the heavens. ![]()

![]() ![]() Her third and most recent album, “Vulture Prince,” was released on the indie New Amsterdam Records earlier this year Keem is affiliated with Sony Music.Īdditionally, singer-songwriter Linda Chorney has noted that she was erroneously credited with a nomination in a Roots category by some publications that were apparently citing an early version of the nominees list, although it was unclear at the time of this article’s publication whether that was the same list that the New York Times has cited. in 2005, is a Berklee School of Music graduate and her song “Mohabbat” was listed by former President Barack Obama on his summer 2021 playlist. And while Arooj Aftab is the least familiar in the category to most fans, the jazz-leaning Pakistani singer-songwriter-producer moved to the U.S. ![]() (They are affiliated with Sony and Warner Music, respectively.)įinally, looking at the always-controversial Best New Artist category, rapper Baby Keem already had two nods, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, for his collaboration with multiple Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar. Doja Cat already had seven nominations, including Album and Record of the Year, and recent Grammy darling Brandi Carlile already had four, including Record of the Year. Song of the Year brings forth a similar take. (ABBA is affiliated with Universal, Nas with Sony Music.) And while the add for Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” is a nice boost, he already had four nominations, including one for album of the year. Record of the Year saw the addition of ABBA’s first single in nearly 40 years, “I Still Have Faith in You.” While the group is one of the top-selling acts of all time, they have never received a Grammy and frankly it does not appear to be a glaring item on whatever career bucket list they might still have. It is more challenging to find controversy in the other categories receiving adds. Both Swift and West are extremely powerful players in the music industry and both are affiliated with Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music company. He has three other 2022 nominations, all in the rap category. He is certainly no friend to the Academy, as he recently posted a video of himself urinating on a Grammy award (presumably one of his 22 trophies) and caused drama for it with this nomination, which includes a songwriting credit for Marilyn Manson, whom West has embraced amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against the shock-rock singer. Yet that take is countered by the other late-addition best album nominee, Kanye West, whose countless controversial statements in recent years have cast a pall over his creative work for many. ![]() But more to the point, considering the media and fan firestorm around the Weeknd’s exclusion last year, and the massive social-media power of Swift’s following, the prospect of her being completely excluded from the 2022 Grammys was daunting for any number of reasons. Most notably, Swift, and the Academy, had much to gain by her addition: It’s her only 2022 Grammy nomination, she won Best Album last year with “Folklore,” the predecessor to this year’s nominee, “Evermore,” and has three total Best Album wins amid her 11 career trophies. See the full list of official nominees here. In all but a few speciality categories, the Academy says the votes come directly from the Academy’s voting membership, which is between 11,000 and 12,000 voters, and are tabulated by the top auditing firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. It also should be noted that the Grammys changed their nominee-voting system this year, which had previously been curated by “secret” nomination-review committees consisting of unidentified industry experts that made last-minute tweaks those committees were eliminated in April, in the wake of the Weeknd’s stunning exclusion from all nominations last year, despite having one of the most successful albums and singles of 2020. But the Grammys long have been accused of insider dealing, including by Deborah Dugan, Mason’s predecessor as CEO, who was controversially ousted just before the 2020 awards and filed a blockbuster, allegation-filled legal complaint against the organization the two parties settled earlier this year. Looking at the list of last-minute nominees, it seems plausible at least that those artists received the ninth and tenth-most votes. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can also encrypt with your own data encryption keys though building a custom key management solution is quite an overhead and as the saying goes: “Don’t Roll Your Own Cryptography”.ĪWS services like Macie, which is available in EU regions since May 2020, can help you protect Personally Identifiable Information with machine learning concepts. If you need more control over your master keys you can also create your own KMS CMKs and use your own managed keys for S3 encryption. AWS managed KMS keys enable S3 encryption easily and AWS promises that the KMS keys never leave the region they are stored in. Stored data in S3 containers can be encrypted by default. The division of work is the same as with security which means AWS handles data protection of the cloud while you handle data protection in the cloud. It is your job now to make sure that you use those services in conformity with GDPR requirements as well. AWS’s CISPE conform services include EC2, RDS, S3, IAM and EBS. The non-profit trade association “Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe“ (CISPE) released the “CISPE Data Protection Code of Conduct” to help IaaS providers to offer GDPR compliant services. Warning letters and consequences in regards of competition law may arise, though. ![]() Fines may also be imposed which can be up to 4% of your annual turnover though this is very unlikely since the whole situation is currently very unclear. Not conforming with EU data protection laws may result in customers or data protection agencies complaining and forcing you to stop processing data within the US. Make sure you have SCC agreements with AWS and make sure you implement all GDPR requirements. Things you can do to be more compliant with EU law is to only host in EU AWS regions though this is also not 100% safe by now. AWS customers transferring and processing data in AWS regions inside of the EU are not affected. The SCCs are not yet revoked by the European Court of Justice and can still be used as a data protection framework though they have no legal effect anymore. AWS processes all data in conformity to GDPR and “standard contractual clauses” (SCCs). AWS claims that customers are still compliant, even when using US regions. ![]() Now that Privacy Shield is gone it is difficult to know if you are still in compliance with EU laws when transferring or processing data in the US. Laws like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allow access to data of non-us-citizens without court order and this is in violation to EU data protection laws. The European Court of Justice terminated the agreement after Max Schrems filed a complaint that Facebook transferred data to the US and made data accessible for the NSA and FBI. EU citizens could file complaints against US companies for data protection violation and had claims against those companies. US companies registered on a list for compliant data processing and should be watched by the government. Privacy Shield ensured that Personally Identifiable Information of EU citizens transferred to and processed in the US were protected by EU data protection laws. Since the European Court of Justice nullified the Privacy Shield agreement in July 2020, a huge uncertainty came up for EU companies processing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the US, for example by using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The Scarlett 2i2 is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or. Many non-recording audio applications (such as voice chat/video conferencing, media players etc) use one of these driver types rather than ASIO, primarily because the benefits that ASIO provides are not necessary in those pieces of software. Locate the file Focusrite USB 2 Driver.pkg double-click its icon to. Though they all perform differently, for the purposes of this article we will group the terms "Kernel Streaming", "WaveOut", "WaveRT", "KS", "WASAPI", "MME", "DirectSound" and "DirectX" together as "WDM". This means that, if you use ASIO, you cannot use the inputs on your Focusrite device and the built-in output of your computer at the same time. It's important to bear in mind, however, that when using ASIO drivers the same device must be used for both input and output. Some DAWs allow the user to select different driver types - where that is the case we would always recommend that you select ASIO. It allows for low latency recording and playback with high channel counts and is the preferred driver type when using DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) recording applications such as: Cubase/Nuendo, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper, Reaper, Reason, Cakewalk etc. The ASIO driver specification was originally created by Steinberg.

Follow the adventures of a young, cocky and fearsome captain Edward Kenway whose skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into the ancient conflict between Assassins and Templars that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built. In order to improve the game’s visuals, we’ve sharpened the whole image (thankfully for all of you, our sharpening settings are not as high as in our previous SweetFX settings), we’ve made lights a bit brighter, and we’ve enhanced the colors in order to give a more natural look to the environments (notice for example that the sky is more blue-ish now). Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established a lawless republic. Therefore, we decided to counter this blur side effect with the power of SweetFX.ĭo note that our settings will be ideal to those using TXAA or FXAA (as those AA solutions bring the annoying blur side effect). However, this AA solution blurs the whole image, thus resulting in inferior image quality.

I really am a sucker for most Louis Vuitton bags, particularly in their classic prints. The masses are obsessed with the Neverfull – myself included – because it’s so classically beautiful and functional. ![]() Why are people so obsessed with the Neverfull? Like many of the classic Louis Vuitton styles, it comes in several different types of leather as well as the coated canvas options (like Damier Ebene, Damier Azur, and the classic monogram). The Neverfull is a classic tote silhouette shoulder bag. The tote itself isn’t particularly revolutionary, but it’s the classic design that makes this style so approachable and loved by the masses. ![]() Despite being relatively new to the designer scene, this designer tote bag has taken the world by storm. The Neverfull is an authentic Louis Vuitton style that dates back…actually not that far. But for the rest of ya – here’s a breakdown. If you’ve landed on this blog post you know what the Neverfull is. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of the Neverfull, the difference between (and how I use) the MM and GM sizes, along with if I think this designer tote is worth the hefty price. But I think it’s time we give the Neverfull in both the MM and the GM sizes their time to shine. I also have plenty of other designer handbag based blog posts. I actually have multiple blog posts about the best Neverfull dupes.

![]() This will automatically switch the phone to using the display on the back. In order to start the camera, besides selecting the icon on the screen, you can also double press the additional key on the left side of the Axon. Because of the second display, the front camera becomes unnecessary, since the users can just look at the front or back display of the phone, depending on whether they want to take a selfie or a picture of the surroundings. In contrast to many other current smartphones, the ZTE Axon M makes do with only a single main camera. ![]() ZTE did not plan on being able to change the battery in the Axon M. The weight of more than 200 grams (0.44 lb) is definitely noticeable, which also gives it some subjective feel of value. This enables holding an almost 15 cm (5.9 in) wide and high device with only one hand, without having to reach across the display edge. The hinge then provides a spot to anchor the fingers in the center of the back of the device. The display from the back, which is on the right side, is thinner than the main screen. When the user opens the device, the display area expands almost to a square. Surprisingly, this does not interfere when holding the phone in the hand, but ensures a better grip instead.Ī metal frame surrounds the edges of the display, whereas the inside (or the back when the device is opened) is made of plastic. All the buttons are on the left side since the hinge stretches across the whole length of the right side of the smartphone. However, after a brief period of getting used to it, this is not a problem anymore. Initially, this feels a little strange, since the display in the back really feels like a display and not like a glass surface. When folded up, the display with the camera is in front, and the other display is in the back. ![]() However, to reflect its price point, the ZTE Axon also has to compete against more expensive smartphones, such as the Google Pixel 2 and Huawei's Mate 10 Pro. The competitors in this test include the HTC U Ultra and the LG G6, since these two devices are equipped with the same SoC. In our test, we compare the Axon M with similarly equipped smartphones to reach a comparative evaluation leaving the double screen aside. Yet, we still want to know what performance we can expect from the built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro SoC with an Adreno 530 graphics unit, and how well the 20-MP camera works in the front and back. ![]() Since the dual screen of the Axon M is a unique feature, this would of course be the decisive factor for interested buyers. Until now, ZTE has always shown itself as a solid manufacturer in our tests with classical smartphones, which promised good features on paper, but at the end of the test came in slightly below our expectations, as for example the ZTE Blade V8. Of course, there were other phones with several screens, such as the Yota Phone with e-Ink display, but in this form, there has not been anything like this available on the European market. Even though ZTE did not introduce a "real" foldable smartphone in the sense of a bendable display, its concept with the two screens is still special. So it is refreshing if a manufacturer finally implements a concept announced a long time ago. ![]() If we are honest, smartphones hardly differ from each other externally: a large display, buttons left and right, and connections on the top and bottom. ![]() |
