![]() Ooops… My system has been infected, now what? Trend Micro products are all capable of detecting and removing fake antivirus software. Searches for fake antivirus applications, however, are frequently full of reports from users who have been victimized. If it’s a real product, you will be able to quickly find a legitimate page. If you are unsure about any antivirus program on your system, look for the product’s name. Your search engine is your friend. There’s an Internet saying that goes “Everything is just a Google search away.” If it feels suspicious, it probably is and there is absolutely no harm in searching online to find out. In contrast, FAKEAV authors want users to pay upfront for the imaginary problems they claim to detect. For example, trial downloads of the Trend Micro Titanium family of products are functional for 30 days and work normally within that period. Related to this is another common way to tell fake antivirus applications from real ones-real antivirus products will offer to solve any threat they find straight away and will never require the user to pay before cleaning. Here’s a sample of one of the activation pages fake antivirus applications present to the user. This is because their main goal is to make money and the best way for them to do that is via user activation. If you are constantly reminded that you have to activate the product, it’s probably fake. New fake antivirus variants have very professional-looking interfaces but one thing that should tip off users is that everything useful requires software activation. Nowadays, however, legitimate vendors have improved their user interfaces with the overall goal of “getting out of the user’s way.” FAKEAV applications, on the other hand, deliberately use loud and annoying alerts to cause panic and to alarm users. ![]() Antivirus software today tries hard not to bother users. In the past, antivirus programs could be somewhat annoying, particularly when they found suspicious files. If you have an antivirus application on your PC that you don’t remember installing, chances are it’s a scam. Real antivirus programs will never automatically install. ![]() Real antivirus software explicitly asks a user’s permission before installation and when scanning for malware. Users are always in control of the application. Real antivirus applications never work this way. An antivirus program that installs itself then proceeds to “scan” the PC without user intervention is unlikely to be real. We’ve talked many times in the past about how the bad guys poison search engines so that certain results point users to fake antivirus sites. In this blog entry, you will find some tips that will allow you to identify fake antivirus programs and other similar Internet scams. However, educating and informing users about this scam is more effective than any technical solution that the industry can provide. Trend Micro and the rest of the security industry continue to work hard to protect users against this threat. Fake antivirus or FAKEAV has become a significant threat and more and more users have become victims of this profitable scam. ![]() Against soldiers in the past and monsters in the present Lazarus has the same weapons: a cavalry sword and a six shooter pistol. Sometimes Lazarus will black out and flash back to his time in the war, where he must lead a small group of men to flush out a retreating company of Confederacy soldiers. According to the lore, the kids were forced to stand in the. The found-footage horror film was unique then, a surprise to audiences used to. The house they found is the same house where Rustin Parr killed seven children in the 1940s. Lazarus must explore locations in the town to find items and talk to the local inhabitants. 15, 2016 When The Blair Witch Project was released in 1999, a good portion of audiences thought it was real. The Blair Witch Project 1999 R 1 h 21 m IMDb RATING 6. Not only must he find her before time runs out, but he must also solve his past: who he is, where he is from, and why he is dressed in a Civil War uniform? Your character, simply called Lazarus, must find a young girl who has gone missing in the dangerous woods of Burkittsville, home to the mysterious Blair Witch. Blair Witch, Volume II: The Legend of Coffin Rock brings the player back to the year 1886. A young man and his friends venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mystery surrounding his missing sister. The second in the three part PC game series based on the 1999 horror movie The Blair Witch Project. ![]() The Organ Pipe Cactus is a tropical plant and it grows to an average height of 15 feet and has a number of stems that are about 6 inches thick. For that reason, in 1977, this area became a UNESCO biosphere reserve. In the U.S., it is rare to see them except for in Organ Pipe Cactus NM in Arizona. The Organ Pipe cactus plants grow mainly in Mexico and Baja California. Early European settlers called this cactus “organ pipe” because the dried stems of the plant reminded them of the pipes of a church organ. The Organ Pipe Cactus NM opened in 1937 and was named for the unique cactus that is found here. This is the nicest national park campground that we have seen. There are camp hosts that come by and clean each site regularly. Each site is nestled among the cacti and the flowering scrub brushes and wildflowers. What really impressed us about the campground was that it looked like it had been landscaped. Some campsites allow generators and there is a no generators section. Each site has a concrete pad with a picnic table and grill and a few have ramadas to shield you from the hot sun. Also there are solar-heated showers in the bathhouses. no “hook ups,” but there is a place to fill up your fresh water tanks and there is a dump station as well. When we arrived at Organ Pipe Cactus NM, we made our way to Twin Peaks Campground. On our drive to and through the park, we saw an array of gorgeous wildflowers, cacti, and mountains and we knew we were in for a special treat. The cacti and ocotillo flowers are also adding color to the landscape. There are blue lupines, desert marigolds, gold poppies, California poppies, and many others. ![]() Everywhere we look now there are many, many flowers in bloom. Due to the plentiful winter rains, the desert is greener than others and, in the spring, it is replete with 40 different species of wildflowers. ![]() ![]() There are two rainy seasons here: the monsoon rain season with its heavy rains and flash floods during the summer months and the soaking rains during the winter months. There are different subregions of the desert and this one is often called the “Green Desert” because of the amount of rain that they receive here. The Sonoran Desert extends from southwest Arizona into southern California in the United States and then 500 miles south along the Gulf of California in Mexico. This unique place has been on our wish list of places to see for quite some time. Some might say that we are really taking the “social distancing” mandate to an extreme but that is not the reason we are here. The nearest grocery store is in the town of Ajo, AZ about 40 miles north of the park. It is a very remote area of the state and there is only one road to and from the national monument. To the east of the national monument is the Tohano O’odham Nation Reservation and to the northeast is the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The park is located right on the border with Mexico. In the meantime we plan on enjoying the beauty of this country, great outdoors, and the warm weather.ĭavid and I are at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona. We will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions accordingly. For now we have decided to remain in the desert southwest in relatively isolated areas for the time being. Another advantage is that we can decide how far we want to be from virus “hot spots” and large metropolitan areas. For one, we can decide, within limits, where we want to park our rig and how long we want to stay in a given location. Being RVers during this crisis does have several positives. We too are practicing “social distancing” and washing our hands often. Every day more and more state parks are closing and the national parks are suspending their ranger-led activities and shuttering the Visitor Centers. Even though we are full timing, we, like you, are not immune to its impacts. The novel corona virus has been on everyone’s mind lately. ![]() To help you understand what's going on, I would recommend running it on your machine (only takes a couple of minutes to get working if you have a Google Cloud service account). In a Nutshell, I want to make sure that when the streaming limit is exceeded and a new request is made, the timestamps returned by Google for that new request are adjusted accurately. These timestamps are accurate for the first request but are off by ~4 seconds in the second request and ~9 seconds in the third request. The timestamp you see printed next to each transcribed response (the 'corrected_time' in the code) is the timestamp for the end of the transcribed line, not the beginning. The timestamps provided by Google are pretty accurate but the issue is that when I exceed the streaming limit (4 minutes) and a new request is made, the timestamped transcript returned by Google's API from the new request is off by as much as 5 seconds or more.īelow is an example of the output when I adjust the streaming limit to 10 seconds (so a new request to Google's Speech-to-Text API begins every 10 seconds). I've adapted their Python infinite streaming example for my purposes (see below for my code). Thankfully, Google provides its own code examples for how to make successive requests to their Speech-to-Text API in a way that mimics endless streaming speech recognition. Google's Speech-to-Text API has a limit of 4 minutes for streaming requests but I want users to be able to run their mic's for as long as 30 minutes if they so choose. The transcription model uses machine learning technology similar to the technology used in YouTube’s video captioning.The web app I'm building relies on real-time transcription of a user's voice along with timestamps for when each word begins and ends. Google’s video transcription model is suited for indexing or subtitling a video or content with multi speakers. The application is capable of adding subtitles in real-time to streaming content. With Google Speech-to-Text, users can transcribe both audio and video content and include captions to help improve audience reach and customer experience. Users can enable voice control or commands like “Turn the volume up,” or do voice search using phrases like “What is the temperature in Paris?’ Such ability can be combined with Google Speech-to-Text API to deliver voice-activated services in IoT applications. Users can then perform analytics on their conversation data, allowing them to gain insights into the interactions and customers. This voice recognition software enables users to empower their customer service system by utilizing the Interactive Voice Response or IVR and agent conversation to their call centers. The main benefits of using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text are further discussed below. ![]() Google Cloud Speech-to-Text is a powerful tool that provides state-of-the-art accuracy in a speech to text transcription. The main benefits of Google Cloud Speech-to-Text are improved customer service, implementing voice commands, and transcribing multimedia content. The Google Speech-to-Text API supports over 80 languages. Google Speech-to-text can process audio directly streamed from the user’s microphone or from a pre-recorded audio file, and give real-time transcription result. The speech-to-text API uses a machine learning that is trained to recognize specific audio files from a particular source, thereby improving transcription results. ![]() Users can choose from a list of trained models: video, phone call, command, and search, or default. The application can convert spoken numbers into specific addresses, currencies, years, and more. The Cloud Speech-to-Text API allows users to customize speech recognition to allow transcribing domain-specific terms and uncommon words through hints. With Cloud Speech-to-Text, users can transcribe their content with accurate captions, provide an enhanced customer experience through voice commands, and gain customer interaction insights.

Suppose you have multiple folders within your Dropbox, now if you create a new folder such that it can be used as a bin, i.e. Keeping the limitations and the reasons behind the limitations, it is clear that the mobile phone apps probably can’t be designed to behave exactly like the desktop client for Dropbox, however if an arrangement can be made, where we can keep just one Dropbox folder in true two way sync with a folder on the SD card of the mobile phone, this can be a great help, isn’t it. ![]() Save the limited space on your Smartphone which generally is in range of 2-8Gbs.Probably this missing functionality in the mobile apps is for two reasons – Summarily, the Android Dropbox app doesn’t allow automatic uploading or downloading, or we can say that the auto sync feature is missing from the Dropbox Android app, unlike the Dropbox desktop client, where you drop the file and forget it it will be synced to every instance of the folder across different machines/devices. Same is the case with uploading you need to manually start the uploading process in order to get a particular file in the specified folder. However using a Android app isn’t that convenient, and the reason is – the mobile phone app for Dropbox isn’t a full featured client, the files or the folders don’t get downloaded to the phone automatically, you access them online, and if you wish to, only then you download the file. Using the Desktop Client for Dropbox makes it damn convenient for the user to share the files using the Dropbox service. ![]() We all are well aware of the Dropbox, and if you are a Dropbox user, I am sure you are already using the Desktop Client and probably the Dropbox app for your respective Smartphone as well. You can shoot sticky bombs or grenades at his feet, detonate rockets behind him, fire the BFG 9000 near him, and when he turns around to block the energy tendrils coming from the projectile you can blast him in the back. ![]() Many, many people have said Marauders ruin the flow of combat by forcing you to stand still and wait out their axe attack, but this isn’t your only chance to hit them. Normally, you can only attack them when they close the distance to strike you with their axe at close range, telegraphed by their eyes glowing green. They’ll attack you with an energy wave from long range, blast you with their super shotgun at close range, can summon a spectral wolf to attack and stun you, and also have an impenetrable shield. Let’s look at the Marauder, the most infamous addition to Doom Eternal’s roster of demons. It can seem like it removes the need for the player to learn these strategies organically through experience. Before every boss fight you get a pop-up telling you the bosses weaknesses, when you can attack them and when you can’t the codex entry for a demon will tell you what weapons are most effective and/or if they have an exploitable weak point. One complaint that I’ve seen directed at Doom Eternal is that it sometimes seems like it’s holding your hand. More importantly, you can use it to circumvent parts of combat encounters by destroying those hard to reach totems that buff enemies. Knowing exactly when and where to detach from a demon can allow you to go flying at speeds that would make even the Haste power up blush, and combined with the Air Control rune, you can transform yourself into an agile human missile, flinging yourself out of harm’s way or right into Super Shotgun range. Grappling on to demons and swinging around like a bat out of hell is just pure bliss, but it isn’t as simple as it might look. The Super Shotgun’s Meathook mod might be one of my favorite grappling hooks in any game. Screenshot: Doom Eternal Mastering Meathook Movement This trivializes what is usually one of the tankiest non-boss enemies in the game, allowing you to quickly take them out. However, if you lob a frag grenade at them, it will falter them, preventing them from creating the shock wave, allowing you get in close and Blood Punch them to remove all their armor. A perfect example is the Cyber Mancubus–getting too close to these bloated sacks of flesh and guns will cause them to create a large shock wave around them, which on Nightmare may deplete nearly all your health. In my experience, players don’t utilize faltering nearly enough, as it allows you to get close to demons that would otherwise absolutely obliterate you. You can falter demons in a variety of ways, including frags, the Rocket Launcher’s remote detonation mod, exploding a demon with the Plasma Gun’s Microwave Beam, etc. Knowing exactly how much damage you need to stagger an enemy is crucial on Nightmare and Ultra-Violence, because the health from that glory kill might be all that stands between you and death.Ī falter in Doom Eternal refers to when a demon is briefly stunned, halting their offensive and opening them up to attack. These are just three examples, but there are plenty more. One Blood Punch, a blast from the super shotgun and then a hit from the Ballista will consistently stagger them. The Prowler, those purple, teleporting, three eyed demons that try to flank you from behind? You can instantly stagger these demons with a single hit from your badass energy ballista or a single blood punch finally, the Arachnotron, those creepy brain-spiders decked out with a weaponized exoskeleton. ![]() Here are three couple examples: the Mecha Zombie can be instantly staggered with a single hit from the Combat Shotgun’s Sticky Bomb mod. ![]() ![]() One of the most important things you can learn in Doom Eternal is the difference between how much damage you need to stagger a demon–that’s the state in which they flash orange and can be glory killed.

On April 1, 2013, Telltale officially announced a sequel, titled Poker Night 2, featuring Brock Samson from The Venture Bros., Claptrap from the Borderlands series, Ash Williams from The Evil Dead franchise, and Sam from Sam & Max as opponents. The characters are also written to be somewhat cognizant of their nature according to Rodkin, Tycho and Strong Bad are aware of their video game nature, while Max is ambiguous and the Heavy remains blissfully unaware of his death-and-respawning cycle, simply attributing his memories of dying over and over again as dreams. The developers also wanted to avoid any forced interactions, and instead developed what they felt were natural relationships: Tycho dislikes Strong Bad while getting along well with Max, while the Heavy looks upon Strong Bad as a tiny Heavy. Telltale always wanted to respect the original characters and worked with the individual creators and studios to improve the lines they previously had gotten similar input from Matt Chapman for Strong Bad, while Jerry Holkins was extremely helpful to refine Tycho's character based on Telltale's draft dialog. To that end, they created a large amount of dialog for each character and possible interactions between the characters according to Jake Rodkin, Telltale's graphic designer, they wrote more lines of dialog for the game than a typical Sam & Max adventure episode. Telltale aimed to make the game dialog-centric between the four featured characters. ![]() Disable spellchecking in Firefox by going to Tools → Options → Advanced → Check my spelling as I type.
