In 1984 IBM introduced the Enhanced Graphics Adapter which was capable of producing 16 colors and had a resolution of 640 × 350. Lagging several years behind, in 1981 IBM introduced the Color Graphics Adapter, which could display four colors with a resolution of 320 × 200 pixels, or it could produce 640 × 200 pixels with two colors. Either computer could be connected to the antenna terminals of an ordinary color TV set or used with a purpose-made CRT color monitor for optimum resolution and color quality. Some of the earliest home computers (such as the TRS-80 and Commodore PET) were limited to monochrome CRT displays, but color display capability was already a possible feature for a few MOS 6500 series-based machines (such as introduced in 1977 Apple II computer or Atari 2600 console), and the color output was a speciality of the more graphically sophisticated Atari 800 computer, introduced in 1979. High-resolution CRT displays were developed for specialized military, industrial and scientific applications but they were far too costly for general use wider commercial use became possible after the release of a slow, but affordable Tektronix 4010 terminal in 1972. The display was monochromatic and far less sharp and detailed than on a modern monitor, necessitating the use of relatively large text and severely limiting the amount of information that could be displayed at one time. Prior to the advent of home computers in the late 1970s, it was common for a video display terminal (VDT) using a CRT to be physically integrated with a keyboard and other components of the workstation in a single large chassis, typically limiting them to emulation of a paper teletypewriter, thus the early epithet of 'glass TTY'. The first computer monitors used cathode-ray tubes (CRTs). This term mostly fell out of use by the 1990s. Ĭomputer monitors were formerly known as visual display units ( VDU), particularly in British English. Instead, a line printer was the primary output device, while the monitor was limited to keeping track of the program's operation. As early monitors were only capable of displaying a very limited amount of information and were very transient, they were rarely considered for program output. This allowed the engineers operating the computer to monitor the internal state of the machine, so this panel of lights came to be known as the 'monitor'. History Įarly electronic computer front panels were fitted with an array of light bulbs where the state of each particular bulb would indicate the on/off state of a particular register bit inside the computer. As most computer monitors do not include integrated speakers, TV tuners, nor remote controls, external components such as a DTA box may be needed to use a computer monitor as a TV set. Modern computer monitors are mostly interchangeable with television sets and vice versa. In the 2000s, the typical display aspect ratio of both televisions and computer monitors has changed from 4:3 to 16:9. From the 1980s onward, computers (and their monitors) have been used for both data processing and video, while televisions have implemented some computer functionality. Originally, computer monitors were used for data processing while television sets were used for video. Monitors are connected to the computer via DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, DVI, VGA, or other proprietary connectors and signals. Before the mid- 2000s, most monitors used a CRT. The display in modern monitors is typically an LCD with LED backlight, having by the 2010s replaced CCFL backlit LCDs. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics, power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls. A cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitorĪ computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or textual form. It reminds me of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, which was supposed to set up the later-released Phantom Pain. This is no coincidence, obviously, since the “game” is merely an hour-long experience. But Bright Memory feels like a prologue to a much grander experience. The universe that Chinese developer FYQD Personal Studio & publisher Playism created here is super interesting, I have to admit. My hope is that this is fleshed out much more in the full game’s final release, because I was completely lost. I was thrust into an opening scene as if I should have already had some sort of background knowledge behind the plot. I had absolutely no idea what was going on while I played the game. She has to fight her way through hordes of enemies while attempting to stop a rival organization whose motives were unclear to me.Īdmittedly, however, I had to look up those story beats to be able to share them with you. During the opening mission, Shelia is transported through a wormhole to an unknown location. Their goal is to research strange phenomena in the sky connected to some archaic mystery. This entity operates technology that surpasses that of even the government. Shelia (pronounced SHELL-ee-uh) is an agent of the Supernatural Science Research Organization (RSO). It shows a bit of promise, however, so my interest isn’t completely diminished. Although the game looks incredibly impressive, I can’t say I had a good time playing it. Unfortunately, I think this glorified demo has done more harm than good for me. Although the game doesn’t release until 2021, we received a small taste of what’s to come in the bite-sized Bright Memory. It looked stunningly beautiful, incorporated multiple genres and play-styles into one game, and was developed by one person. We saw several upcoming releases, but one that stood out to me was Bright Memory: Infinite. On May 7th, Microsoft held its “Inside Xbox” online events. Each encounter feels intense and unique, usually forcing the player to utilize a recently-learned technique. It’s not an overly dexterous feat, but god damn does it feel badass.Īll of this is exemplified in the boss fights. However, since these guys are armored, I would throw Geddy up in the air, spin as Otus to knock off the armor, then either catch Geddy (for extra flair) or teleport him to me before he hit the ground and fire off a few shots. Normally, the player can just fire a few pistol shots and kill the bats no problem. To use an early example with just Otus and Geddy, I’ll use the armor-covered cyclops-bat enemies. It feels remarkably satisfying to utilize multiple characters and Otus all at once. It immediately made me interested in each new character that was introduced. While the base mechanics are simple, I loved the open-ended opportunities.Įvery time I saw an NPC, I found myself thinking “What if I teamed up with them? What abilities might they have?” It reminded me of playing Shining Force, when you never knew who exactly would join you and what they could do. There are also instances during the plot where Otus carries temporary friends who also have unique abilities. This isn’t a spoiler, by the way, because the menu screen blatantly gives this away as soon as you look at it. It’s possible to teleport Geddy (and others) directly into Otus’ hand with a tap of a button, so there’s no “Oh shit, where did I leave him?” moment.Īs the story progresses, Otus connects with two more NPCs, each with their own abilities. While carrying Geddy, the player can’t use Otus’ spin move but can utilize Geddy’s pistol to shoot enemies. The first companion is Geddy, who wields a pistol. Otus is equipped with only a spin move and relies on others to do damage for him. The Owl homeland gets besieged by pirates and Otus and friends set out to put a stop to their dastardly deeds.Įven the gameplay feels fresh and exciting. It’s easy to comprehend and doesn’t throw out an insane amount of jargon at the player that serves only to make things more confusing. The overarching story follows the Owls and explores their past, present, and future. I don’t want to go get the bad guy because that’s obviously what happens next, I want to get him because HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID?! This goes a long way towards getting the player invested in what is actually happening on a more personal level. I wasn’t expecting this much of an emotional rollercoaster, but damn does D-Pad Studio know how to play with emotions. The strongest is that of friendship and at times it really pulls at the heartstrings. This is a game that explores a lot of themes throughout its roughly eight- to ten-hour journey. In fact, I would say that the only scene in Owlboy better than its opening is its ending scene, though I won’t go into detail for obvious reasons. The relatable relationship should hit home for many people, but the way the gravity of the situation and its impact are conveyed is nothing short of amazing. The opening scene deserves special, yet vague, mention. It doesn’t matter if the character is the main focus of the scene or not, which is really what makes it all so brilliant. Otus will twiddle his fingers, his companion Geddy will wave his arms about, characters have detailed facial expressions while talking or reacting - everything about the animations is special. If there were no dialogue at all, it would still be easy to determine the personalities of every single character. Speaking of expressiveness, holy cow does this game nail character animations. Players will be rooting for Otus’ success immediately because of his situation and just how expressive he is. It all starts with Otus, a young, mute owl, who begins his adventure in a very relatable experience to most people: a negative student-teacher relationship. One of Owlboy‘s many strengths is its ability to get the player invested in the plot and its characters immediately. Welp, it was worth the (eight-year) wait! A second dialog would pop up, asking for that. Note: If you choose to push the secret key to the Keybase server, you also need to enter your Keybase password. ( Please use a strong password during the export!) The keybase dialog asking for the password to unlock the secret key of the key pair file. If the Keybase UI is already open, the password dialog box may pop-under, so look out for it. You would have set this during the export. The Keybase UI asks for the password of the private key. If you wish to send the private key to the Keybase servers, add the -push-secret argument. I am using the import command with the -infile (or -i, for short) argument. The h is necessary to distinguish asking for help versus executing the command. For usage details of the import command, use keybase pgp import h. For example, type keybase pgp and press Enter for information on the pgp command. To learn more about a particular command, type keybase command. You can explore the command line by typing in keybase at the prompt and pressing Enter. Not surprisingly, the command is keybase. Keybase comes with a command-line client. The file must contain both the private and public keys, even if you don’t plan to send your private key to the Keybase servers. For the command line examples below, the file is in the C:\keys directory and has the name keypair.asc. Refer to the link for the official guide.įor the task at hand, I am also going to assume you have exported your key pair in a PGP format, generally a file with the. I am not going to detail how to sign up for Keybase or how to install Keybase on your Windows PC. It is possible to import only the public key, which is all that someone needs to send you encrypted content. You should carefully consider if you want Keybase to have access to your private key of an existing key pair, but I leave that decision to you. Now, you would like to import that key pair, or the public key only, in Keybase, so you can use it to exchange encrypted messages and files. Say you have a PGP key pair in an app on Windows. To use Keybase with PGP, you can create a new PGP key pair directly inside Keybase, or you can import an existing key pair. PGP uses a public/private key pair to encrypt (as opposed to a symmetric key, which can create a challenge because you need a secure channel to send the symmetric key to the recipient of your message). Keybase can also encrypt and decrypt files using PGP. One key feature is the ability to link your identity on Keybase to your identity on other sites, including Twitter and GitHub. Recently, I’ve started using Keybase, not only because of its ability to provide E2E encrypted messaging but also because of its additional feature set. End-to-end (E2E) encrypted communication is valuable and necessary.

B&P countered that each company in the family is a separate legal entity and that B&P had retainers with some of those specific entities at various times. The applicants submitted that the Bell family of companies is one client. Several other companies are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Bell Canada, including Bell Aliant Inc (the parent of Bell Aliant). could be described as the parent company for several other separate corporations. While there may be some circumstances where related companies could be considered as one entity and one client, the circumstances in the present case do not lead to that conclusion.” īCE Inc. The Court held that “he Bell family of companies as a whole was not the current or former client of B&P. In this motion, the applicants sought an order removing B&P as solicitors of record for MediaTube on the basis that, due to their past and current relationship as a client of B&P, there is a conflict of interest and B&P must, therefore, be disqualified from representing MediaTube in the main action. MediaTube is represented by Bereskin and Parr (“B&P”). This motion arose in the context of an action by MediaTube and NorthVu, which claims the defendants, Bell Canada and Bell Aliant, collectively the “applicants” in this motion, infringed Canadian Patent No. and Northvu Inc v Bell Canada et al, 2014 FC 237 This decision was upheld on appeal.Mediatube Corp. He awarded Bell elevated costs of the action. The trial judge held that the 477 Patent was valid and not infringed. Both parties argued that they were entitled to elevated costs. During oral submissions at the end of the trial, however, MediaTube maintained that certain claims of the 477 Patent were infringed, but only by virtue of the fact that Bell’s system could be modified to incorporate all of the essential elements of those claims. Second, it withdrew the claim for punitive damages. First, it acknowledged that Bell had never infringed the 477 Patent. As a result, at trial, MediaTube made two major admissions. In the months leading up to the trial, Bell corrected some of the answers it gave during discoveries concerning its Fibe TV and FibreOp TV systems. Bell denied infringement and asserted that the claims of the 477 Patent were invalid. MediaTube Corp., licencee of the 477 Patent, brought a patent infringement action against Bell Canada and Bell Aliant Regional Communcations (collectively, “Bell”), alleging that their 477 Patent had been infringed by Bell’s Fibe TV and FibreOp TV services and severely damaged their business.

Moving up to the top of the plant, as its name suggests, crown rot will first appear at the crown of C. Commonly caused by Phytophthora fungus, this disease is marked by leaf wilt, and yellowing fronds. Root rot is common in sagos that have been planted improperly, and those that are receiving too much water. It’s important to act quickly if you notice signs of fungal disease, particularly if you have other cycads or true palms growing in the area, to avoid spread throughout your yard. Read more about identifying and combating sooty mold here. Get rid of any scale insects that have taken up residence, and then clean the fronds thoroughly. We’re happy to say that we couldn’t find photographic evidence of any on the sago palms currently.Ī heavy coating of sooty mold can prevent life-giving light from getting through to the leaves, interfering with photosynthesis and further damaging the health of your cycads. Sooty mold and scale insects on a citrus tree. If you’ve determined that yours are beyond treatment, pest-ridden and diseased plants should be removed and properly disposed of in sealed bags with your household trash (not thrown on the compost heap) to avoid spread to the rest of your garden. On the other hand, heavily infested plants may die. Once you’ve gotten rid of the pests that introduce it to your landscape, it can be washed off your sagos. Sooty mold is a fungus that looks like black soot. Read more about identifying and controlling scale insects here. Maintaining good weeding practices around the base of your plants is also a good idea, to keep unwanted insect visitors to a minimum. Keep in mind that even after they are dead, these pests will often continue to cling to leaves, sometimes making it difficult to determine whether you have a new infestation on your hands.Įmploying integrative pest management practices in your garden is an excellent way to prevent future problems from arising, track and keep an eye on unwanted visitors, and control their effect on your plants. Though they may appear to be tiny flecks of cotton fluff or squirrel dandruff at first glance, mealybugs really do look like insects close up. While the Asian cycad scale insects will commonly set up shop on the underside of fronds first, false oleander scale bugs apparently prefer to dine right-side up, on the surface of leaves. Like aphids, these bugs excrete what’s known as honeydew, which can encourage the growth of sooty mold.Īsian cycad scale ( Aulacaspis yasumatsui) and false oleander scale ( Pseudaulacaspis cockerelli) are the most common pests of this type known to plague cycads. They appear as soft, white flecks, barely resembling insects at all when viewed with the naked eye, like those pictured above. Mealybugs are another type of scale insect, with soft bodies rather than hard external armor. And they will suck sap from your plants, depriving them of nutrients. The bugs known as scale are flat, oval insects that thrive in warm and dry environments. Read more about beneficial insects and what they can do for your garden here. In Florida, Cybocephalus nipponicus, the scale picnic beetle, and Coccobius fulvus, a type of parasitic wasp, have been introduced to help combat Asian cycad scale. Natural predators like lacewings and ladybugs can help to take care of scale insects as well. Organic Laboratories Organocide 3-in-1 Garden Spray It’s a nature-safe organic combination insecticide and fungicide, made of sesame oil, fish oil, and other ingredients that are safe for use around pets and children, and that won’t harm the bees.
