Many enterprises and studios are familiar with using Adobe’s Team and Enterprise offerings collaboratively. But collaboration inside a corporate LAN isn’t the same thing as trying to get work done with everyone working remotely. So Adobe has put together a for using its tools in this fashion, along with lots of links to services that can be deployed to make the job easier. Team Projects and Shared Projects Creative Cloud’s Team Projects provide cloud-based collaboration for those who already have a subscription to CC’s Enterprise or Teams version. Local editing happens with lightweight proxies, while original assets can remain in the cloud until full-fidelity versions are needed.
The world outside may be off-limits as the world struggles to deal with spreading COVID-19 virus, but you can still enjoy the inside and stay ahead of your work by picking up a new computer from Dell. With a hexa-core Intel Core i5-9400 clocked at up to 4.1GHz and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660, this system’s ready to tackle the graphically challenging games on the market today. Gamers will also appreciate the edgy Alienware case that features LED lights on the side panels. You can also expect this system to boot and load programs quickly thanks to a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD.
For the last few months, Microsoft has had the next-generation console PR space all to itself. Nintendo had nothing in the pipe and Sony was staying quiet about the PlayStation 5, which gave Microsoft plenty of room to talk about the capabilities of its Xbox Series X. Sony is finally opening up about the capabilities of its console and how some of the features will work. The PlayStation 5 will feature an eight-core, 16-thread CPU based on AMD’s Zen 2 CPU architecture. There are 36 GPU compute units running at up to 2.23GHz. That’s rather high for AMD GPU and could indicate some custom engineering for Sony.
Hyundai upped its game, again, with the global reveal of the seventh-generation Elantra sedan. The car is truly impressive, but the West Hollywood set for the rollout, called The Lot, was essentially deserted: no journalists, no analysts, no photographers, and no caterers – just Hyundai people, dancers, and videographers for the Tuesday night. Since early March, there have been no major auto shows, and as of this week, no more on-location media/analyst introductions of new cars. They’ve all been called off or shifted from in-person to virtual because of coronavirus concerns. As with the new midsize sedan last fall, Hyundai imbued the Elantra with class-above features, a slew of technologies standard or optional including semi-autonomous driving and a pair of 10.25-inch color displays in the dashboard.
Now that Sony has finally unveiled the specs for the PlayStation 5, we can do what we’ve been wanting to do for a while and examine overall performance against the Xbox Series X. First impressions count for a lot in the console world, and Microsoft has been quite aggressive in terms of product design. Let’s kick off by taking a look at what we know about each platform and the salient characteristics of each. We won’t be discussing teraflops today, because they’re a wretched way to measure performance. A GPU’s teraflops rating is derived from a mathematical formula that no card can actually achieve.
Many businesses are closed or operating with reduced hours as a way to encourage social distancing. Some countries and US states have even mandated that some types of businesses and public spaces close for the next few weeks. GameStop stores are still open, which seems inadvisable at best. However, one upshot is that the company has decided to , one day early, in an effort to avoid crowds. Doom Eternal is the sequel to 2016’s rebooted Doom title. It once again follows the Doom Slayer as he does battle with the forces of hell. However, this time the demons have invaded Earth.
Workers across the United States are adjusting to working from home this week as corporations and governments have implemented strict rules to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. At least one major telecommunications provider — my own, unhappily — hasn’t gotten the message. A Charter engineer quit the company in protest this week, drawing attention to the fact that some corporate executives to continue to believe they know better than medical experts. A memo by Charter CEO Tom Rutledge the company’s guidelines and thinking on the topic: “Stay home if you are sick, or caring for someone who is sick, but continue to report to your usual work location if you are not.
Propping up your $900 stock price and cranking out the new Tesla Model Y is not “essential business.” And so the Alameda County Sheriff told Tesla Tuesday to cease operations at its massive Fremont, California, plant outside San Francisco. This a day after Bay Area counties told employers to shut down non-essential businesses and have employees shelter at home for three weeks in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Tesla’s largest factory is in Fremont. It had just begun producing, and shipping, the first Model Y compact SUVs in a manner previously unheard of for Tesla: ahead of schedule.
If you love gadgets, inventing or just plain old simple problem solving, then you were born at the right time. In the past decade, the explosion of DIY electronics environments around items like Arduino circuit boards, the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, and ESP32 microcontrollers have helped make virtually any crazy idea possible. Want to build a motion-detecting ping pong ball launcher? Think it’d be cool to turn a DSLR into a night-sky astronomy device? Or wanna turn a Raspberry Pi into your own FM radio transmitter station? The possibilities are endless. It’s all just knowing how to make all these varied pieces fit together into something amazing.
