Neil lies about his age in order to gain admission to Denis's adults-only community, but he really doesn't know much about sex, as the florid bits of his prose we hear make abundantly clear. When Neil is tossed aside by Julia, who uses her demeanor to mask her own insecurity around men, he turns to the mysterious Denis (Michael Ian Black, lending street cred), a much older man who edits their favorite slash website and seems to have a history of making young guys like Neil his playthings. The film allows its hero to genuinely puzzle out his sexuality in front of us. Yet Johnston and Marks are strong enough in their roles, crafting characters who express uncertainty and fear in vividly different ways, to make you believe their polarizing personalities truly draw confidence and meaning from each other. She's everything Neil isn't: brash and assertive, openly sexual and proud of her geekery. Julia defends Neil when his secret pastime is exposed, convinces him to publish his work online for the first time, and ultimately drags him to his first comic convention, where the next-level realm of fandom awaits. But he's also attracted to Julia (Hannah Marks, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency), a classmate and fellow slasher. Neil might be gay - his writing certainly suggests he's about to discover this, and he finds himself drawn to a couple different men in his orbit. (The lasers largely disappear once the shirts come off.) We see some of his visions shot with low-rent costumes and kitschy laser effects that will be familiar to anyone who remembers the deliberate cheese of 2009's Gentlemen Broncos. He's riffing off a franchise called "Vanguard," which looks to be one of those Asimov-lite bound paperback series with the spaceship covers. Here is the world of Neil (Michael Johnston, MTV's Teen Wolf), a shy, terribly repressed 15-year-old who only feels at home when he's slashing up some male-on-male sci-fi tales on his computer. As we're told repeatedly, the Bronte sisters themselves wrote their own form of fan fiction. "It's like they're begging us to fix them," says one of the heroes in the new coming-of-age comedy Slash, a line which amounts to the film's most succinct explanation for why these writers do what they do. And what of the original creators whose works form the basis for this remixed lit-smut? Well, to be fair, they did conjure fantasy worlds with virtually limitless possibilities. Slash plays with the relationship between creator and audience, injecting adult themes into decidedly non-adult content to see what happens, and commenting on an overall lack of queer characters in fiction. Write slash fiction on your own and you may be thought a pervert post it online and you gain initiation into a thriving community of like-minded (typically female) geeks and weirdos who've defiantly charted their own course through the pop-culture solar system. The culture has been around for decades and is the subject of much queer-studies scholarship, but until the Internet such activity remained largely cloaked in shadow. Slash fiction, for the unbent, is generally defined as fan fiction that pairs two characters or real people of the same sex in an intimate or erotic way: you've got your Kirk/Spock, your Sherlock/Watson, your Axl/Slash (sorry). Neil (Michael Johnston) and Julie (Hannah Marks) in Slash, a film by writer and director Clay Liford.Įllie Ann Fenton/Courtesy of The Film Collaborative ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, in terms of any sort of inspiration or originality, “Kate,” the movie, is every bit as D.O.A. Look, we get it, people are looking for new stuff to watch, mindless escapism included. Netflix’s emphasis on providing original movies has of late included a steady diet of forgettable thrillers with high-profile leads, including “Sweet Girl” and “Beckett,” starring Jason Momoa and John David Washington, respectively. The ageless pursuit of GROWTH Age is just a number, but the pursuit of excellence is timeless' So Yesterday, I decided to take a break from my corporate life and binge-watch a Netflix movie. She also wore the ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards. The movie thus becomes one long bout of violence for its own sake, with the inevitability of Kate’s fate only further detracting from any suspense about where the story is heading. Kate Middleton was dressed in a long white gown with embroidered flowers symbolizing the four countries that make up Great Britain. ![]() Still, there’s not much mystery in the “why” of it all, and nary a beat that doesn’t feel almost wholly predictable. Kate absorbs an enormous amount of punishment and dishes out far more, using guns, knives, fists and when pressed common kitchen appliances. Under the stewardship of French director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (“The Huntsman: Winter’s War”), a movie like this ultimately boils down to the quality of the action, and it’s both plentiful and particularly bloody. There’s a pinch of “The Professional” and more recently Netflix’s considerably better “Gunpowder Milkshake” in their killer-kid bonding, which doesn’t have much time to develop with so much damage to be done before Kate’s condition becomes unmanageable. Kate’s search for those behind her demise brings her into contact with a teenage girl (newcomer Miku Martineau) who is the granddaughter of a mob boss, and as written proves annoying even by the standards of teenagers in these kind of movies. She delivers the bad news to the boss who raised her, played by Woody Harrelson, who can play this sort of appealing hitman in his sleep. Kate review: A dumb Netflix action movie elevated by Mary Elizabeth Winstead - Polygon Reviews Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a legit action star wasted by Netflix’s Kate 2021’s run of. In similar fashion, Kate – a Tokyo-based killer for hire – ingests a slow-acting poison, giving her a day to track down who was responsible, slashing and shooting her way through much of Japan. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the movie’s eponymous female assassin, in a mash-up loaded with old-movie ammunition that still comes away firing blanks.Īside from Winstead’s recent role as Huntress in the “Harley Quinn” movie, the most obvious point of reference would be “D.O.A.,” the 1950 film noir starring Edmond O’Brien (subsequently remade with Dennis Quaid) in which a fatally poisoned man spends his remaining hours trying to unravel the mystery of who killed him. The series drew 148.28 million hours of viewing worldwide in its first four days, the fourth biggest opening of 2023 on Netflix.Someone must be watching Netflix’s parade of mindless thrillers like “Kate” (never mind why), but even allowing for that, it’s hard to imagine a more bare-boned plot as excuses for stylized violence go.

Because of the success of the flagship series, Shonda Rimes is expanding the Bridgerton universe with the first prequel spinoff series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Its second season took the series to new heights, surpassing season 1 in viewership - it currently sits fourth on the most popular Netflix shows of all time list. In 2020, Bridgerton became a worldwide sensation with its first season and the sixth most-watched English-language show of all time on Netflix. ![]() ![]() Few appear to make time for a leisurely breakfast or a crossword to boost energy levels. While many CEOs tend to rise a little later - between 5am and 6am, almost all incorporate starting the day with some kind of exercise and email checking. The 4am club and some of the benefits of waking up earlyĪpple's Tim Cook is a notable and extreme morning routine example - reportedly rising at 3.45am to answer emails before heading to the gym at 4.30am. Any earlier and it’s really impossible to justify it as the morning. So, an early start counts as anything from 3.30am to 5.45am. They had emails to answer and the earlier that was done the better. There was no snoozing and no lazing around thinking about the day. Interviews conducted by The Guardian in 2013 found that all of the successful CEOs got out of bed immediately. A study by the University of Westminster found that people who wake up early (between 5.22am and 7.21am) have higher levels of a stress hormone than those who have a leisurely morning, but a dawn wake-up is also when most CEOs jump out of bed. The average Briton sets their alarm for 6.47am, but studies show that most people snooze their alarm for another 25 minutes before actually getting out of bed. Sayings such as ‘the early bird catches the worm’ suggest that success comes to those who set their alarms earlier than others, but how much truth is there in that? What are the benefits of waking up early? What is the best time to wake up? And should you sack off your lie-in and start getting up early? While the rest of the world sleeps, a select few are rising. ![]() ![]() Registering your IP address with your Smart DNS serviceįor each of the different providers, there’ll be a slightly different way to access the settings you need. When you sign up for Smart DNS, you’ll provide them with your IP address, or they might automatically track your IP to keep you connected. It’s up to you to track down the best DNS for Samsung Smart TV or any other brand, but before you do, we’d suggest you read up on how much more efficient and easy to set up StreamLocator is for your Smart TV. We’ll do our best to provide some insight into the most popular that do, with step-by-step guides to configure Samsung TV, Sony, Panasonic, LG and a few others. Sadly, not all Smart TVs allow you to change your DNS settings. We’re going to give you a run-through of where the settings you need are on a selection of different brand TVs, and where you’ll find the replacement DNS addresses that allow access to blocked services. How do I change my Smart TV DNS?ĭeep in your TV settings (well, fairly deep…), you’ll find a range of network settings that include your IP and DNS server settings. The IP address you connect to the Internet (usually determined by your WiFi router) can be dynamic (changeable by your service provider upon connection or start-up) or static (stays the same-also called fixed or permanent). The main reason for this is that it’s faster to use the address than using a series of numbers.Īn IP address is a numeric label assigned to a device connected to any computer network. What is DNS?ĭomain name servers translate an IP address (Internet Protocol) into the name you see in the URL bar. Today, we’re looking at how to utilize a Smart DNS service, and how to change DNS (Samsung, LG, Sony, and more) settings on your Smart TV, where the international switching is managed. ![]() However, when it comes to watching geo-blocked content, you’ll need some kind of workaround to navigate the regional blockades. You don’t need to plug in your laptop, any kind of streaming box or stick, or cast or screen-share from your phone or tablet. Everything you want to watch is available directly on the best and biggest screen in the house.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By using a state machine the computer can easily keep track of where it is within the protocol as well as recover from any errors such as timeouts and checksum errors. The NMEA parser we are discussing is based on a simple state machine. Most protocols have a state machine tracking the protocol state and any errors that may occur during the data transfer. The specification also states valid characters and gives a table of these characters ranging from HEX 20 to HEX 7E.Īs stated in the NMEA 0183 specification version 3.01 the maximum number of characters shall be 82, consisting of a maximum of 79 characters between start of message "$" or "!" and terminating delimiter (HEX 0D and 0A). These characters assist in the formatting of the NMEA data string. The specification also has a set of reserved characters. NMEA data is sent in 8-bit ASCII where the MSB is set to zero (0). Please note that the specific NMEA sentences parsed are centric to a GPS device. A simple example written in C++ demonstrates this parser design. The techniques here can be applied on received data from a higher abstraction layer. This article makes no assumption of the media that the NMEA data is acquired. This article will reference the NMEA 0183 specification and it is recommended that the NMEA 0813 specification be available as a reference. The article does assume that the reader has knowledge in software design and has experience in some sort of programming language. It will try to show techniques in parsing and data integrity checking. This article will hopefully clarify some of the design tasks needed to parse through NMEA sentences robustly. However, the specification does not cover implementation and design. The NMEA 0813 standard for interfacing marine electronics devices specifies the NMEA data sentence structure as well as general definitions of approved sentences. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, in the Zero Hour mission on Normal difficulty, the player has to deal with only the assaults of the Zerg, whereas in Hard and Brutal, there are Zerg "drop pods" that crash into the ground delivering Creep Tumors and Zerglings. In most cases, playing on Hard or Brutal adds more depth to a mission. New players who have never played any video games in their entire life or are just new to RTS (Real time strategy) type games should probably begin on Normal - the Casual difficulty is very, very casual, to the point that enemies only very rarely attack and usually sit about waiting for the player to come and slaughter them - and their units have only half of their normal HP. Many of the missions force the player to take a defensive position (in contrast to multiplayer), which makes Siege Tanks a particularly beneficial unit to unlock as early as possible.Įach mission can be completed using Casual, Normal, Hard, or Brutal difficulty. In some cases, the capability to produce a particular type of unit can dramatically alter the challenge of a given mission. New units are acquired during each mission, which may then be used in any future missions (except the Prophecy missions, in which the player does not use Terran units). The first three missions must be completed in order, after which a series of events occurs that enables the player to begin directing the order in which missions are played. Specifically, the player is assumed to have the role of Raynor from a third-person perspective. The Wings of Liberty Campaign follows the exploits of the Terran outlaws Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay. ![]() ![]() Apart from that, you will also appreciate the fact that this voice recorder achieves high-quality recordings, especially when you want it to capture sounds from a distance.

![]() AV-Comparatives reports the percentage of macOS malware detection, and separately reports detection of Windows malware and of potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). All but one of the products I follow earned a perfect 18 points. To be fair, only about a third of the products I track appear in any lab reports, and only half of those show up in reports from both labs.ĪV-Test Institute rates antivirus products, whether for macOS or Windows, on their Protection, Performance, and Usability, with six points available for each. Unfortunately, both labs omit G Data from their reports. On the macOS platform, I don’t have the equivalent hands-on tests, so lab reports from the two labs that cover macOS become more important. My test programs and protocols evolved over years of testing on Windows. When I review Windows antivirus products, I run an extensive set of hands-on tests, supplementing my findings with reports from four independent antivirus testing labs. What Do the Independent Testing Labs Say About G Data? G Data falls somewhere in the middle, with support for macOS versions starting with 10.12 (Sierra). Intego’s support goes back almost 10 years, to macOS 10.9 (Mavericks). Others are fine even with rather old versions. Norton 360 Deluxe for Mac, for example, only supports the current version plus the previous two, meaning that at present it supports Catalina or later. Finally, if on the contrary you are looking for an even more minimalist solution that focuses solely on malware scanning, then see our review of Malwarebytes Premium, this software is for you.Some macOS antivirus tools require that you keep up with the very latest macOS versions. The top of the top remains at our Bitdefender Total Security review not only for its value for money but also for its effectiveness and low impact on your computer's performance. The all-in-one solution shines with the effectiveness of the antivirus and its unlimited VPN. If you're looking for more of a suite with other tools go to our test of'Avast One which offers very easy-to-grip ergonomics. On the other hand, if you're exclusively committed to effective detection, even with a less than stellar interface, this is still a solid suite. If you're looking for a security suite with VPN or dark web monitoring tools, this is not the suite for you. providing robust and responsive protection, and while neither the features nor the interface have moved a pixel, this is undeniably the case with near-perfect threat detection and blocking and limited impact on Windows performance. And somewhere along the line, for those used to the suite, the main thing is that the editor "gets the job done", i.e. G Data, like a handful of other products tested, achieved a 100% success rate and was placed alongside McAfee, Avast and AVG. In online protection, all means of blocking a threat are taken into account, so it is the defences of the suite as a whole that are tested. In terms of online detection, its score places it in the middle of the ranking. ![]() In this respect, G Data does better than the entire market in offline protection. And here we can see that it is clearly the "in-house" engine that works, since G Data's score is higher than Bitdefender's: 96% for both online and offline detection compared to 94.9% for its close relative. In the first two, only the ability to identify a malicious file is measured. AV Comparatives distinguishes three data: online detection, offline detection and online protection. In the more traditional Malware Protection test, the results were just as good. ![]() In the "Real World Protection" test, it was a clean sweep in terms of protection against zero-day threats, although there were a few false positives (9 to be exact) AV Comparatives conducted three recent tests, and on all of them G Data gets the top score and the Advanced+ badge. ![]() |
