![]() “We will continue protecting the family, protecting the rights of our children and our country and we will not live on handouts. You have all that you need in this country, Uganda, so long as your kids are not being sodomised,” Among told legislators. “The blacklist that they are talking about, don’t care, don’t worry about that. We have the capacity, we don’t lack anything, the economy is growing so we shall be able to sustain ourselves.”Įarlier, the speaker of the Ugandan parliament, Anita Annet Among, had urged MPs and officials to ignore the restrictions. If there’s someone who doesn’t want to respect our sovereignty, we pray for them, they can go. At the end-of-year national thanksgiving prayers held at State House on Friday, he said: “Don’t be intimidated by all those fellows. Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, dismissed the US restrictions. The US Treasury department also sanctioned Uganda’s prison commissioner, Johnson Byabashaija, over the alleged torture and abuse of human rights of LGBTQ+ inmates at the country’s correctional facilities. “I once again strongly encourage the government of Uganda to make concerted efforts to uphold democracy and to respect and protect human rights so that we may sustain the decades-long partnership between our countries that has benefited Americans and Ugandans alike.” “The United States stands by the Ugandan people and remains committed to working together to advance democracy, human rights, public health and mutual prosperity,” said US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, in a statement. Last week, the US imposed visa restrictions on hundreds of Ugandan legislators and their families over their involvement in enacting the law. ![]() ![]() The law has attracted widespread international criticism. Steven Kabuye, gay rights activist and co-executive director of Truth to LGBTQ, said: “It’s now up to the constitutional court judges to show their commitment to protecting the rights of all Ugandans.” Activists will appear at the court on Monday to finalise their appeal before the date is set for a full hearing later this month.Ĭlare Byarugaba, an LGBTQ+ advocate from Chapter Four, a Ugandan civil liberties organisation, said: “We are challenging the anti-homosexuality law because it does not pass any constitutional litmus test, and we shall win, because such an abhorrent law whose only aim is to spread hate and institutionalise discrimination and exclusion does not belong on Uganda’s law books and should never have been enacted in the first place.”

![]() I tested with Apple AirPods and Bose Quiet Comfort and neither could pause. I’ll qualify that to say that you can play, but not pause. Quirk 1: you can’t play/pause using Bluetooth. It has a couple of quirks, though, and one deficiency. You can easily play content, and download to play off line, that is very good. So this review is just for the iPhone app. The content on Udemy is first class, so that part is 5 star. These issues are quite annoying and really affect the productivity of the learning process. Need to go to the bathroom? Don’t pause it! Unless you want to spend the next 15 minutes trying to figure out where you actually left off. Additionally, if you pause a lecture for more than a few seconds, the Udemy app decides to start playing again on it’s own, but the real fun part is that it doesn’t start playing from where you paused, it jumps to an entirely new lecture. I have to continually hit pause, play, pause, play, pause, play until the audio finally kicks in. Well, when you increase this playback speed and then cast to your Apple TV, you may or may not have audio. It’s great for instructors who talk slowly or for a lesson you might already be pretty familiar with but only want to brush up on. Udemy has a feature where you can increase the playback speed of the video. Annoying, but that part isn’t necessarily Udemy’s fault. However, you can only cast from an iOS device and not a computer. They apparently once had an app for Apple TV but decided to abort it once apple developed the ability to airplay or cast your videos to the Apple TV from the iPhone.

Alongside the release of the update, Apple has set out lots more details about spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. With big new features like Journal and so many smaller details, this is a big update.ĭecember 12 update. MORE FROM FORBES Apple iPhone iOS 17 NameDrop Causes Security Panic: Should You Be Worried?

With this update you can shoot spatial video on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Talking of integration, with this release Apple AAPL has added the capability to shoot video in a particular way that will integrate with Apple’s next big product category, the Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s designed to help improve your wellbeing and is stunningly integrated into the iPhone, all securely encrypted to help your private entries stay for your eyes only.

Apisalome Movono and Professor Regina Scheyvens about the implications.Unlike the last couple of updates, which were all about bug fixes and security measures, iOS 17.2 has lots of new features as well as the customary bug-squishing effects. Meanwhile, New Zealand's National and Act parties have signed a coalition agreement to increase the cap but did not specify by how much. Kathryn speaks to Massey University's Dr. Samoa's Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa said countries like hers should not be seen merely as `outposts' which `grow' labourers for developed nations, and has since brought in legislation to try and exert some control over labour movements. In the year to June 2023, 48,000 people left the Pacific to participate in New Zealand's RSE scheme and the Australian equivalent - but Pacific leaders in Samoa, Vanuatu, and Fiji have expressed concern, saying their own economies are being impacted. National pledged during the election campaign to double the cap on seasonal workers from 19,000 to 38,000 under the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme. The number of Pacific Island seasonal workers coming to Aotearoa has doubled in the last decade and has jumped by almost a third in the last three years. New Zealand needs more seasonal workers from the Pacific, but regional leaders are sounding the alarm about the impact on their economies. ![]() To check your current version, open command prompt and type winver.

I also tried validating the files (I'm on PC, Steam), changing DNS servers (I don't know if I did it correctly, though), unplugging and re plugging my internet/ethernet cable, which all failed to fix the problem.

Before I even get to the contents, we need to talk about what to expect from 20. ![]() ![]() We may add further compression tests here in the future.In many ways, your computer is a lot like your kitchen junk drawer. To use it, just right-click whatever you want to compress, select “Send to,” then “Compressed folder.” It doesn’t do the job quite as well, but it’s quick, free and built-in so who are we to complain? Or maybe you don’t want to download any third-party software at all, in which case you can use Windows’ built-in compression tool. Also, having to click “Use Evaluation Version” each time you open it can get tedious, which doesn’t help its case. The best WinRAR offering, RAR5, lags behind (albeit marginally) in third place. When you consider that WinZIP is owned by a corporation and eventually costs you money, while the 7-ZIP is made by a plucky troupe of open-source developers, it seems like a no-brainer to go for the latter. The open-source (and complete free) compression tool is pretty much neck-and-neck with WinZIP’s all-powerful Zipx format. That’s some pretty impressive stuff from 7-Zip. Note that we used the Zip and Zipx formats in WinZIP, the 7z format from 7-Zip, and the RAR4 and RAR5 formats in WinRAR. These two formats are among the most compressible, so should demonstrate the respective compression software at their very best. Using those settings, we compressed a couple of different file types – MP4 video files first, then big chunky ISO files after that. In the new window change the Compression method to LZMA2 (if you have a 4-core or stronger CPU), set the Compression level to Ultra, and compress away! Compression Testsįor the tests, we set 7-Zip, WinZip and WinRAR to their optimal compression settings as outlined in each of the descriptions above. ![]() There are no evaluation versions or prices to pay here, but does that come at a cost of compression quality? To test it properly, select the files you want to compress, right-click them, select 7-Zip then “Add to archive.” For the tests, we’ll be compressing files using both the RAR5 and RAR4 formats. The old compression format is RAR4, which you can also select. This has a bigger default dictionary size, and is ostensibly superior at compressing large files. For maximum compression, it’s worth changing the “Compression method” to “Best.” As of a 2018 update, the default archive format used by WinRAR is RAR5 (which is confusingly just labelled “RAR” now). Notable options here include the “Create solid archive” box (particularly useful for compressing a large number of smaller files). WinRAR compresses files in the RAR format (it’s all in the name), and there are also a few tricks you can do to get the most compression out of it. When WinZip opens, select “.Zipx” under “Compression Type”. To use this, select and right-click the files you want to compress, then click to “WinZip -> Add to Zip” the files. zipx format, where it claims to have a higher compression rate than. WinZip has an option to compress files into the. But maybe that’s because it does a better job than its rivals, justifying its audacious price tag? Let’s see. ![]() In today’s world where we inexplicably expect everything software-related to be free, WinZip boldly stands in the face of our expectations by charging $40 after the trial period. (You basically pay to get rid of this prompt.) WinZip, on the other hand, locks you out after your evaluation period. WinRAR is essentially free, except you have to tolerate an annoying prompt telling you your trial’s expired each time you open it. It’s worth prefacing this piece by saying the open-source 7-Zip already holds an edge by being free with no strings attached. They’re all easy to use, but which one does the best job? We put them to the test to find out.Īlso read: How to Zip and Unzip Files on Android (RAR, ZIP, 7Z) 7-Zip lands the first big punch by being FREE Are we overselling this software showdown?

In games consoles there are Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and in PC compression software there are 7-Zip, WinRAR and WinZIP. In boxing there were Ali, Frazier and Foreman. ![]() Quake III Arena was specifically designed for multiplayer. Quake III Arena comes with several gameplay modes: Free for All (FFA), a classic deathmatch, where each player competes against the rest for the highest score, Team Deathmatch (TDM), where usually two teams of four compete for the highest team frag (kill) total, Tournament (1v1), a deathmatch between two players, usually ending after a set time and Capture the Flag, which is played on symmetrical maps where teams have to recover the enemy flag from the opponents' base while retaining their own. ![]() Players also drop the weapon they were using when killed, which other players can then pick up. If a player dies, all of their weapons are lost and they receive the spawn weapons for the current map, usually the gauntlet and machine gun. Weapons appear as level items, spawning at regular intervals in set locations on the map. The BFG super-weapon is an exception to this compared to other similarly named weapons in the Doom/ Quake series, Quake III Arena's incarnation of this weapon is basically a fast-firing rocket launcher and it is found in hard-to-reach locations. The weapons are balanced by role, with each weapon having advantages in certain situations, such as the railgun at long-range and the lightning gun at close quarters. While deathmatch maps are designed for up to 16 players, tournament maps are designed for duels between 2 players and in the single-player game could be considered ' boss battles'. As the game progresses, the fights take place in more complex arenas and against tougher opponents. In Quake III Arena, the player progresses through tiers of maps, combating different bot characters that increase in difficulty, from Crash (at Tier 0) to Xaero (at Tier 7). ![]() A familiar mixture of gothic and technological map architecture as well as specific equipment is included, such as the Quad Damage power-up, the rocket launcher, and the BFG. Continuity with prior games in the Quake series and even Doom is maintained by the inclusion of player models and biographical information. The game's story is brief: "the greatest warriors of all time fight for the amusement of a race called the Vadrigar in the Arena Eternal." The introduction video shows the abduction of such a warrior, Sarge, while making a last stand. Instead, it simulates the multiplayer experience with computer-controlled players. Unlike its predecessors, Quake III Arena does not have a single-player campaign. Quake III Arena has also been used extensively in professional electronic sports tournaments such as QuakeCon, Cyberathlete Professional League, DreamHack, and the Electronic Sports World Cup. Many liked the crisp graphics and focus on multiplayer. The game was praised by reviewers who, for the most part, described the gameplay as fun and engaging. Notable features of Quake III Arena include a minimalist design, very extensively customizable settings such as field of view, texture detail and enemy model and advanced movement features such as strafe-jumping and rocket-jumping. It features music composed by Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly founder Bill Leeb. The single-player mode is played against computer-controlled bots. The third installment of the Quake series, Arena differs from previous games by excluding a story-based single-player mode and focusing primarily on multiplayer gameplay. Quake III Arena is a 1999 multiplayer-focused first-person shooter developed by id Software. ![]() Black+Decker 20V Cordless Drill and Driver (with battery) -ĭyson is a popular name when it comes to household tech, and while it may be most well known for the best Dyson vacuums, there are some other products to shop than Dyson cordless vacuum deals when it comes to landing some savings.Crafstman Electric Screwdriver Set (USB Charged).Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool (USB Charged).Here are a few more we think you might be interested in: Of course, there are more deals to consider buying than these.
