![]() At the beginning of the game this isn’t too much of a hassle because you’ll be moving from area to area at a pretty steady pace while following your main objectives. The loading screens take ages to get through. The combat feels okay although the absence of an aim down sights feature felt a little weird but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Learning which weapons and elements work best against certain enemies, finding out the stories of the dead people around you and choosing the high road and sneaking around enemies hoping to not be spotted and viciously murdered because you’re low on ammo is all a blast. ![]() Exploring the space station of Talos 1 as a fragile noob searching for answers, to becoming an unstoppable sneaky psychic death machine searching for more needles to stab into your eye is an enjoyable journey. The different variations of the enemies require different tactics to overcome but apart from the mimics, the enemy designs aren’t all that interesting. I mean, the first time you see a new type of enemy it is both an interesting and heart pumping experience but once you’ve seen the 4 basic enemies and a mini boss you’ve pretty much seen them all. This adds to the scare factor, which is great but this leads me to my next point. You’re also so underpowered at the beginning of the game that you’ll be quaking in your boots at the sight of a new enemy. The music in the game also sets the tone very well, many times throughout the game I found myself on edge simply because of the background music which sounded like it’d fit right in in a Ridley Scott sci-fi horror movie. For example, the grunt enemies – mimics – who disguise themselves as everyday objects and – worst of all – useful items will make you slowly enter a new room, scanning your surroundings for anything that looks suspicious and slinging your trusty wrench at everything that looks a little off. ![]() Prey seems to be designed to make you feel extremely paranoid… and it succeeds. There are multiple ways to complete objectives and access areas and there are choices to make along the way that will grant you different endings or consequences.Īfter hearing that, I wouldn’t fault you for assuming that Prey is simply a sci-fi version of Dishonored, but you would be wrong. You’re also encouraged to play the game how you want but it’s obvious that stealth is often the best or intended way to play. In both games, you’re able to wield both physical weapons and otherworldly abilities (you’re able to choose to completely ignore your otherworldly abilities and play it straight in both games). Prey and Arkane’s previous FPS/RPG mashup Dishonored have a lot in common. After later playing games like Bioshock and Dishonored, I realised that there was a place for single player FPS experiences – especially FPS games with RPG elements and effective world building. It seemed very interesting but first person shooters have never been my go to genre for single player experiences. I never played the first Prey game in 2006, however I did watch my older brother play it. If you’ve played any of the Dishonored or Bioshock games then the mechanics of Prey should be a little familiar to you.įirst off, let’s start with my experience.īuy Prey Here My Experience Prey is a first person shooter/RPG developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda. In this Prey PS4 Review I am going to be staying away from any major spoilers and helping you to decide whether this game is worth the price.

![]() The company utilizes private and public transportation modes to move products from warehouses to customers. Walmart uses technology to track shipments in real-time and improve the speed and accuracy of its supply chain. Walmart’s transportation strategy focuses on optimizing its supply chain and making it more efficient (Zhang et al., 2019). They also use transportation analytics to gain insights into their supply chain and identify areas for improvement. Walmart also utilizes specialized transportation management systems to improve visibility and communication and ensure efficient shipment routing. Walmart’s transportation strategy optimizes its supply chain and logistics operations to reduce overall costs and increase efficiency by leveraging technology, implementing a dedicated fleet, and utilizing third-party carriers. They use advanced technology, such as RFID tags, to track inventory and ensure that products are always available. This has been achieved by creating a highly efficient supply chain (The Wall Street Journal, 2023). Walmart is known for its low prices and wide selection of products. In contrast, Walmart excels in pricing, technology, and distribution. Lastly, Starbucks has an extensive network of roasters and farmers worldwide, allowing them to source the highest quality ingredients and ensure that their products meet the highest standards. Furthermore, their logistics system allows them to move products quickly to their stores. Starbucks has developed long-term relationships with its suppliers, allowing them to maintain consistent product quality. Starbucks excels in supplier relationships, logistics, and quality control. Starbucks has developed relationships with suppliers and farmers in the countries where its coffee beans are grown. ![]() The company has invested heavily in its supply chain to ensure its products’ quality, taste, and consistency. Starbucks, on the other hand, has a product-focused supply chain strategy. It also has a sophisticated logistics network to keep its stores stocked with goods and ensure timely deliveries. Walmart has an extensive network of suppliers that allows it to negotiate for lower prices and pass on the savings to customers. Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, has a low-cost, low-margin strategy reflected in its supply chain. ![]() Walmart and Starbucks have different strategies when it comes to their supply chain. Diagram Image Source: ×795.jpg Competitive Comparison This data is used to develop forecasts of future product demand and determine when additional inventory needs to be replenished. Walmart provides the vendor with real-time sales data to assist the vendor in managing inventory levels. Under the VMI model, Walmart and the vendor share responsibility for managing inventory levels in Walmart stores (Inventooly, 2022). Walmart is responsible for providing the necessary resources and information to the vendor and ensuring that the inventory is replenished on time. The vendor’s supplier delivers the products to Walmart stores on time. The VMI business model is based on a three-way partnership between Walmart, the vendor, and the vendor’s supplier. The model was designed to improve the supply chain’s speed, accuracy and efficiency. ![]() Walmart uses Vendor Management Inventory (VMI) business model as a strategic partnership between Walmart and its vendors that enables the vendor to manage inventory levels in Walmart stores. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

To start a return, you can contact us at If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. ![]() You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. ![]() It's ideal for drilling cast iron, heat-treated steel, stainless steel and other hard materials. With aggressive, these cobalt drills bits not only last longer while drilling but also cut faster than standard high-speed steel bits.Lasts 12x longer than standard 118° point drill bits.135° split point for fast penetration and accurate starting with no punch. ![]() ![]() It also offers loads of enhanced masking tools and JPEG XL support. The new edition includes features such as non-destructive RAW file processing - great for Adobe Lightroom users looking for Lightroom alternatives. The release of V2 at least keeps Serif in the competition. We got optimisation for Apple’s M1 chip, for instance, and the most recent big flagpole announcement was the aforementioned Panorama Stitching, but good though that feature may be, this was a year ago.ĭespite some interface niggles, Affinity Photo is excellent, with powerful features, for an unbeatable price - but we were a little concerned that this software might start lagging behind the ever-evolving rivals. And most changes before that were stability and performance improvements. The software hadn’t received an update for six months prior to the release. Liquify is a fun tool to warp and distort portions of your image (Image credit: Serif)Īffinity Photo V2 is the latest version of the photo editor, and the upgrade brings with it plenty of new and useful tools. Where to even start? Thankfully, the startup panel offers a link to a large number of video tutorials and also a support forum. ![]() If you’re a newcomer however, it is quite possible that you will find yourself somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of options open to you. To be fair, we have a good amount of experience working with such applications, and as a result Affinity Photo felt very familiar to us, so that’s a good thing - if you have experience with its competitors. Rather than turn this article into a bullet-point list, we decided to focus on how it felt to use them to work on a photograph. There are way too many to list in this short review, like PSD file support, RAW Support, masking, layering, retouching, removing blemishes, curving, a full set of 16-bit filters, to name but a tiny few. ![]() The list of tools is incredibly long, and rivals bigger, more expensive competitors, yes, even Photoshop itself, and for the price, that’s no small feat. You’ll find Affinity Photo is crammed full of the features you need to manipulate and otherwise improve a photo, or project. This feels like a step backwards to us, and sadly we could not find a way to revert back to the way the layout used to be.įeeling a little lost? Worry not: you have access to a wealth of online video tutorials (Image credit: Serif) You can’t have multiple floating windows open though: click on another tool and the parameters you previously selected are replaced by the new ones.Īlthough this saves you from a proliferation of endless popup windows, it would be good to have access to multiple tools in one go, rather than having to constantly click on thumbnails to reveal them. In order to apply the change, you must click on a thumbnail, which reveals the values you can alter in a floating window, and depending on the thumbnail you clicked on, applies some changes automatically as well. Your tools are still there, but rather than seeing any sliders or changeable parameters, you’re presented with multiple thumbnails of your current photo. Last time we explored Affinity Photo, they were all presented in a long scrollable list on the right. More annoying though was the Studio itself. It can sometimes be frustrating when you need to access parameters from the Studio, as a pop-up window appears (Image credit: Serif) Going back to software that still has pretty coloured icons felt odd to us. Many competitors have long migrated to a monochrome style, to limit any distractions to the image you’re working on, and its own colour spectrum. One minor gripe is that the toolbar is too colourful. This is actually all very reminiscent of Adobe Photoshop, and if you’re comfortable with that behemoth, it won’t take you long to feel right at home with Affinity Photo.īut it’s not all perfect (which software is?). Other tools and information about your current image file are along the top, with a detailed inspector to the right, known as the Studio, leaving the bulk of the interface to your canvas. Just like many other applications of this type, mouse over one to reveal a tooltip giving its title, and any tool with a small triangle lower right of it indicates additional yet similar tools are but a click away. You’ll find it to the left as a series of small icons.
![]() Just be aware, when you choose to listen to the right earbud only, you won’t be able to access the touch controls on your left earbud, so you will need to adjust the noise cancelling through the Bose Music app and manage your content directly on your device. Similarly, if you were to place the right earbud in the charging case and close the lid, the left earbud would lose its connection immediately.Īs for calls, it’s worth noting that the microphone system that picks up your voice is located in the right earbud - another good reason to opt for the right earbud when you feel like only wearing one. So, if you were to take out the right earbud and place it on a table, that earbud would go to sleep in about 20 minutes and, when that happens, the left earbud would lose its Bluetooth connection. ![]() The signal is then beamed over to the left earbud. That’s because when you pair your QuietComfort® Earbuds to your phone, tablet, or laptop, the Bluetooth connection occurs between the source device and the right earbud. Actual image may vary.Yes, just be sure to use the right earbud. * This JBL Tune 230 NC Earbud image is for illustration purpose only.

Tackle your day one song at a time with the JBL Tune 230NC TWS. ![]() Use logs as much as possible to fuel your fire, as they have a long burning time and are readily available.Ĭliché as it may sound, cooked food is generally better. One campfire, if the player starts in Autumn, can usually survive the night without being fueled, meaning players can save their logs. Do not use them all at once! One log is enough for an hour (in-game time). Use one log to fuel the campfire just for the first night but be mindful about the burning time of the fuel you are using. If the flame is almost gone, check if the time is nearly morning: do not waste your fuel if morning is about to come. Set up a campfire right before night comes and surround it with some resources, so you can gather them during the night. If this is your first night, you don't have to make a fire pit because you're likely not going to settle just yet. However, the fire pit does indeed allow more visibility in the night, and also allows some of your raw food (such as carrots, berries, monster meat and morsels), to be cooked, which will upgrade their hunger, health and sanity replenishment stats. Your current location may not be best for you to settle. Do not create a fire pit on the first night. Using resources carefully will go a long way. (Do not let hunger get the best of you.)īefore the night ends, prepare another campfire. Once you place a campfire near some resources, gather them as soon as you can.īe sure to cook some food in the campfire and consume it some cooked food will replenish more hunger than uncooked food, while others can increase the health given or get rid of some debuffs on food. If you have things that need to be cooked, place down a campfire presumably near a few resources if possible. Check your map time to time to see if there are any resources outside of you field of view at night that you need to harvest. Then, when Dusk arrives, you still have enough time to gather resources.Ĭraft Torches (2 to guarantee you won't run out at night) to explore while it is night time. ![]() When you want to place your campfire, you simply need to go back to the Light tab, and click 'Place', and then build as normal. Do not place the campfire during the daytime. The resources are consumed and you can continue to gather more without making more stacks. (Or, if you want to consume less resources, make a couple of torches you can explore by night.) How can you prepare a campfire, you ask? By building the item and clicking your right mouse button, the item will not be placed and will just be stored in your game tab. Prepare a campfire when you have enough materials. It's better to pick an optimal location than to settle on the first day! Be Prepared You should take some pine cones if you have enough space.They can make a helpful snack when exploring in Winter. However, it can be useful to leave carrots. ![]() For example, having both raw and cooked berries just means wasted inventory space. 5 altogether will put you up to full Hunger. If you find gold, carrots, and berries along the way, pick them up until you reach 5 carrots and berries. ![]()

Posted in digital audio hacks Tagged AM/FM, bluetooth, radio Post navigationĪhh. ![]() It works well enough for his purposes, and in the end that’s all that matters. Now as for physically integrating the Apt-X into the case of the radio…well, what can we say? admits it’s a bit rough, but then the point was never to enter the thing into beauty pageants. This allows him to run all of the hardware off of the same set of rechargeable NiMH cells, and also provides considerably improved runtime for the Bluetooth receiver. While he had everything apart, exorcised the Apt-X’s original 300 mAh LiPo pouch and replaced it with a DC-DC converter connected to the radio’s battery compartment. From there is was just a matter of wiring in a SPDT slide switch that allowed him to select which device was passed through to the radio’s audio hardware. A peek at the datasheet told him which pins were carrying the audio signal, and after following them around the board, he found a convenient spot to cut the trace before it went into the volume control. The trick was to track down the receiver IC, a Silicon Labs chip similar to ones we’ve seen used in a few DIY radio projects previously. It sounds like the link is quick enough that he can even use this as a wireless speaker for watching TV, which isn’t always possible with cheaper chipsets that introduce a noticeable lag. ![]() The radio still functions on the AM/FM bands, but now with the flip of a switch, he can listen to the audio coming his way courtesy of a Apt-X low-latency Bluetooth receiver. As shows in his recent hack, integrating a Bluetooth audio receiver into portable radio may be easier than you think.įor this project, wanted to make sure no original functionality was lost. For many commercial broadcast radio has lost its luster, leaving an unknowable number of perfectly serviceable AM/FM radios to lie dormant. ![]()
