There are a handful of circumstances where end-to-end encryption isn't appropriate, like with public group messaging and some kinds of business communications but across the board, I favored services that cared about your security and privacy. The best chat apps all have end-to-end encryption enabled by default, or at a stretch, they allow you to quickly turn it on. Do you know who can read your SMS messages? Pretty much everyone. Text messaging should be about the person, not the device they use. We don't want any green bubble/blue bubble drama here. If, however, you're starting a friend group, desert island colony, or fan club from scratch and you get to pick the tools you use, this is what you should be looking for in messaging apps:Īvailability on both iPhone and Android. ![]() (The only app I'm sorry isn't included is Discord, but it's just not a texting app.) The big reason to use any of those apps is that your friends do. Twitter, despite badly adding end-to-end encryption to its direct messages, isn't here either. Nor did whatever Google is calling its latest messaging foray. IMessage, SMS, and Android Messages didn't make this list. So when it came to putting together this list, that freed me up to be pretty strict about the requirements for inclusion. ![]() If that's SMS or smoke signals, you have my full permission to use it-as long as you aren't talking about anything super sensitive. Especially after testing all the texting apps out there, I believe the best texting app is normally the one people will actually reply to you with.

Therefore it’s best practice to also have at least some food available on a bird table to ground feeder, which isn’t covered. Given that Song thrushes and Blackbirds are essentially ground feeding species, this could mean they miss out on the benefits of your efforts to provide food for your garden birds. The solution to this problem is a bird feeder cage guard, with the basic principle being that small birds like Robins can access food placed within the cage, whereas larger species such as Jackdaw can’t.Īn important consideration if using the small mesh bird feeder cage ground guard, is that it will prevent species of thrush and Blackbirds from getting any food. This can mean that food intended for ground feeding species of songbird such as Robin, can quickly be taken - plus the presence of the larger species will often deter small birds from feeding. However, a ready supply of food such as sunflower hearts or suet pellets fed from a ground tray or direct on the ground, will often attract larger species of bird such as Jackdaw, Wood pigeon and Rook. Providing food on the ground is an important part of garden bird feeding, as some species of bird cannot use hanging feeders - or at least not easily. ![]() Eventually, Wilson and Becky give her a half-a**ed eulogy and dump her body outside for her dad to find. ![]() Her dead body is left on the floor for hours. They’re shocked when Sam dies, but then they get over it way too fast. The other big issue with Sam’s death is its impact on the other main characters: Becky, Ian, and Wilson. Utopia – Courtesy of Amazon Studios / Prime Video / Elizabeth Morris Utopia Season 1: Sam’s death makes the other characters seem stupid. But that wouldn’t have been so amplified had she not murdered Sam so early. She gets very few moments of depth and growth throughout the season. Worse, Jessica never really stops being cold-blooded. The arc words of Utopia and the series is “Stay alive Jessica Hyde!”īut in Episode 2, Jessica ruthlessly and senselessly slaughters Sam. That’s a problem because we’re supposed to root for her. Sam’s death was unnecessary overkill that turned the story in the wrong direction.įlynn is usually exceptional at writing unlikable, complicated female antagonists and characters - Amy Dunne, Libby Day, Camille Preaker, etc. We already saw Arby and Rod massacre multiple people, including the first two characters we met - Olivia and Ethan. Why would she kill the person in her group that could have been her most valuable asset? It doesn’t make sense.Īs for the idea of Jessica killing Sam to create shock and prove this show was going to be “bold” and do the unexpected - there was no need. Jessica’s entire purpose is to track down her father and find Utopia so she can get the clues needed to hunt down Mr. Jessica kills Sam because she doesn’t think the group can function with “two leaders.” It’s a shallow reason. She’s fierce, stubborn, argumentative, and a natural-born leader.

Our Thrustmaster TS-XW Racer wasn’t even properly detected at first, and then the buttons worked but not the steering or pedals. However, getting it working in the first place was bafflingly cumbersome. The Wheel DealCompetizione is, of course, aimed at racing enthusiasts, and using a wheel makes you mostly immune to those weird driver arm display quirks. Controller force feedback is a bit vanilla, though, and the controller response to clipping curbs is pretty feeble. The default steering settings are intuitive enough to let you generally catch and correct a little oversteer you just need a delicate touch on turn-in as the steering is quite sensitive on the stick. The Blancpain series represented in Competizione allows factory traction control and ABS, which I tend to find useful playing racing sims with giant hands on tiny triggers anyway, and that helps make the pad controls less daunting. The pad controls are otherwise pretty well-tuned they’re a little devilish before the tyres come up to temperature but I had some great races and battles playing this way. It makes the full cabin view and the otherwise well-positioned helmet cam a bit of a bust for pad users, so in these instances I found myself sticking with the more zoomed-in dash view – which crops out the steering wheel entirely. The rotations seem like they’re matched to stick position rather than how fast a human could realistically twist a wheel. ![]() It’s less of an issue, but it’s very noticeable that the steering animation has a tendency to appear wildly erratic when driving aggressively using a gamepad. Oddly enough, beyond the occasional temporary freeze on track, the frame rate seems at its worst in the menu screens, drastically diving to the point where the spinning car select screen resembles stop-motion animation. This is when I was playing on Xbox One X, too not the standard launch consoles. The result is a slightly uneven experience that obviously lacks the silkiness of the PC version, but also misses the consistency of other console racers: whether they run at 60 frames per second or a locktight 30. The key point of difference is those games have rigidly locked framerates, while Competizione seems to flutter. That fact alone is not a sore point necessarily hugely successful console racers like Driveclub and Forza Horizon 4 also run at 30 frames per second and they’re amongst some of the most visually-accomplished racing games of their generation. Off the PaceUnlike the PC version, the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Competizione run at 30 frames per second, even on the One X and the Pro. ![]() Unfortunately, there are a few complicaziones. The audio is a huge highlight overall, from the raw, mechanical squeaks and shrieks over the wicked exhaust tones to the bespoke track announcers in the background at each circuit. Moreover, they sound absolutely astonishing. The arsenal of exotic GT3 steeds on hand may be slim compared to some of Competizione’s racing peers, but they’re very distinct from each other in terms of handling characteristics and there’s a real world of difference between, say, a mid-engine Ferrari and a Bentley, which is a front-engine British holiday home on wheels. ![]() However, custom lobbies aren’t available at launch and the game hasn’t let me into a single quick public race to date it’s been greeting me with ‘No Servers Available’ for days. Multiplayer is obviously supported and you have to reach a high track knowledge and safety rating in-game to be able to enter the competitive servers. Competizione understands this and includes an official selection of some of the world’s most respected circuits, and scores of racing opportunities: quick championships, long championships, a career mode, and host of fully-customisable custom events. Endurance racing is a fantastic challenge and, while it requires long stretches of unbroken focus and rapid reflexes, when you get into a consistent rhythm there’s an almost meditative quality to it. However, I think Competizione’s laser-like focus on a single underrepresented school of virtual racing is quite brilliant. There are, no doubt, fans out there that will regard the contraction in total content between the original Assetto Corsa and Competizione disappointing, because scaling down to a single racing discipline means Competizione admittedly sheds a lot of surplus rides and racetracks. ![]() Vizio provides PDF downloads of manuals for all of its smart TVs on its company website, usually in English, Spanish and French.

The final frustration is when the character is where they need to be and the ship isn't shot down but announces it also can't land. The first is that the character is not where they are supposed to be and the Sunbeam ends up going home, deciding there's no one available to be rescued. However, there are still two situations that can unfold. Perhaps even the most frustrating part of this particular storyline is that it appears there is a way to disable Subnautica's planetary defense system so that it would appear the Sunbeam can safely land. Thus ending any chance for rescue, at least from Captain Avery Quinn and his crew. An automated defense system reactivates once the ship comes close and ends up blasting it into pieces. There are actually a couple of different outcomes that can unfold, but the most heartbreaking of all is that when the rescue ship comes into view, the planet in Subnautica takes on a rather sinister personality. When the Sunbeam is able to find a way into the planet's atmosphere, the player can actually see its rescue coming. ![]() There are a couple of different directions the story can turn, but the fact of the matter is that all of them are going to end up with the same basic finish. This is also where the story takes a rather frustrating turn for players who think they are about to get off the planet they've been marooned on. In total there are four messages before the ship can be seen coming into view. Captain Quinn sends more messages that make it seem even more as though rescue is imminent. Captain Avery Quinn seems to be the savior of the game, at least at the beginning.Īs players start exploring the world and start to put together a way to survive in Subnautica, time passes and the Sunbeam gets ever closer. On the other hand, there is at least help on the way. Those messages include the fact that it's going to take about a week for the Sunbeam to reach the player's location. A story then unfolds, mostly through radio messages that the potential rescue ship sends once it finds the debris of the character's ship. The Sunbeam first makes its appearance in the world of Subnautica not long after the player first starts exploring the world they crash-landed on. ![]() $1,000: 50,000 Aeroplan points earned based on the following requirements:.$134: Usage of the Nexus statement credit benefit at an approximate exchange rate of $1.34 USD as of J($50 USD = $67 CAD for each cardholder).$120: Based on first checked bags for two people, on a round-trip flight in the first year.$214: Annual Fee Rebate for the Primary ($139), and Additional cardholder ($75) for the first year. ![]() The value up to $1,400 could be earned in the first year of Account opening and is based on the combined total value of: Up to $1,000 of coverage in the event of loss, theft, accidental damage, or mechanical breakdown for eligible mobile devices.
