![]() Wood waste at its suburban facility currently either becomes compost or is burned for energy. Waste Management said in a prepared statement that it seeks to reduce its carbon emissions by 42 percent by 2032 and sees biochar as a potential solution. The company was recently named a finalist for an incubator program by Minnesota clean energy accelerator Grid Catalyst, and is partnering with trash and recycling giant Waste Management to deploy its first reactor at a Twin Cities waste facility. “We can take 1 trillion tons of CO2 that we’ve dug up and put into the air, suck it into the trees and the plants, take their waste product, bury it underground, and store it indefinitely.” “If we harvest all the biomass waste out there and convert it to something more stable, like a char, then bury it underground, we’re reversing the coal mining process,” Jones says. Jones believes biochar should be buried to remove any chance of carbon release. Those technologies also demand either centralized plants or investments of hundreds of millions of dollars per site.Ĭarba’s answer: Let trees and plants do the work of pulling carbon from the atmosphere, and then lock that biomass into a stable form before it can decay. The company promises to consume a fraction of the energy of other technologies, such as direct air capture methods. ![]() Carba’s technology offers a way to lock that into a solid form instead. ![]() Trees and plants are the world’s biggest carbon sink. Through photosynthesis, they store carbon dioxide throughout their lives, but after they die, they decay and release that carbon back into the atmosphere. “There’s a huge negative emissions problem and nobody has the technology to scale without using a ton of energy or capital,” says Jones, who is also Carba’s CEO. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report says will be necessary for preventing the most devastating effects of climate change. The company’s backers believe it could prove to be an inexpensive and energy-efficient method to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere-something the latest U.N. ![]() But that’s great for me, because the Wāke case for an iPhone 12 Pro is between $7.75 and $9.99, depending on your color preference. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, which I thought was pretty current, but apparently, I’m several models behind. And it makes holding my phone one-handed feel a heck of a lot more secure. Mine has stayed put on the back of the Wāke, even with the case’s raised wave pattern. If you’re someone who drops your phone a lot (say, while taking photos off the side of a boat or safari vehicle), I would very strongly suggest buying a PopSocket. You can send them any old case you have (plus old PopSockets) and they’ll recycle them for you. But it’s a step in the right direction.īy the way, if you noticed the PopSocket on my phone: PopSocket runs a phone case recycling program. I replaced my first Wāke case (this purple one) after three years - and bought the same one in green for my new phone. But it doesn’t have that rubbery, grippy finish that makes other cases get caught on every surface they touch. The wave pattern on the back of the case certainly makes it much less slick than the glass phone alone, so it doesn’t slide off sheets when I toss it onto my bed or fall out if my open purse tips over. They add almost nothing to the width or size of my phone, and even with the case on, I can fit it in shorts or backpack pockets that are just barely big enough. I also don’t like the extra friction caused by bigger and grippier cases, as I find it makes my phone get caught more in pockets and bags.īut the Wāke cases are very slim. Bulky, rubbery cases make it difficult to slid your phone into your pocket with one hand while snowboarding or climbing - and the extra bulk means it may not even fit in your pocket. I’ve used bulkier cell phone cases, some of which had multiple pieces, separate screen protectors, and plugs and flaps to cover the various ports. The cheap phone case is super-slim and doesn’t add any bulk to my phone. It says it’s only rated to protect phones for drops up to six feet/two meters, but it’s protected my phone for larger drops than that. For someone who mountain bikes almost every day in the summer, that’s pretty damn impressive. But I had this case on my phone for three years, and my screen didn’t have a scratch. Sure, it’s probably dumb luck to some degree, and the outcomes could have been different if the phone landed face-down instead of face-up. …and somehow, it’s spared my phone every time. Dropped it on dirt, rocks, and boulders while camping and hiking.Having it drop out of my pocket while climbing (certainly from higher than the six feet it says it can withstand).Dropped it on the floor of safari vehicles, seaplanes, and scuba diving boats.Dropping it in the snow while snowshoeing (and potentially having it get run over by cross-county skiers). ![]() Having it fly out of my pocket while speedy downhill mountain biking (multiple times this year alone).Here’s a brief list of what I’ve put my phone through multiple times: But somehow, this cheap phone case has managed to withstand it all.Įven on a day with no crashes or spills on the trails or slopes, I’m still tossing my phone on the ground or leaving it bouncing around in a plastic bin of bike gear. Snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and rock climbing can be hard on a phone. ![]() ![]() I’m an outdoor writer and I live in the mountains, so my hobbies have the potential to break a phone (or my body, I suppose). Yes, my phone is super-dirty - but it’s not scratched or broken. ![]() The sliding throttle control definitely adds a lot to the experience. Typically, you use the stick with your right hand and the throttle with your left. It comes in two parts: a large, button-encrusted stick and an equally enbuttoned throttle slider. This is the idea behind the “hands-on throttle and stick” (HOTAS) approach of controllers like the Logitech G X52 Professional ( Rating: 9/10, WIRED Recommends). That’s vital in air combat or aerobatics, where throttle control is as important as the stick to maneuvering. Real pilots control a plane's throttle using a large sliding lever that makes it easier to quickly throttle up or down.

You don’t get the same realistic feel as the more expensive models, but it's enough to give you a sense of what flying a real plane is like.īe sure to check out our other game hardware buying guides, including our favorite wired and wireless headsets, and our favorite game controllers. It's a well-built joystick with a slider on the side that works as a throttle control. If you are just dipping your wingtips into the flight simulator world and you want a budget pick, the Logitech G Extreme 3D ($40, frequently on sale for less) is a great choice. It costs over $200, but it is the most solidly constructed, most configurable, and most flexible controller for use with multiple types of planes in MFS and other flight simulators. There are many options for realistic flight controllers, and I looked at several that work well with MFS, including a simple joystick, a few “hands-on throttle and stick” (HOTAS) controllers like those in military jets, and a flight yoke that approximates what you would find on a small aircraft like a Cessna. One thing that can make the experience more enjoyable is flying your virtual airplane with a set of controls that mirrors the setup a real pilot might use in a real airplane. ![]() Mind you, MFS (available for Windows and Xbox) is not really a game but rather a realistic flight simulator, which means that staying aloft on those rippling breezes is not easy. ![]() Playing MFS allows us to float on gentle winds above the earth and free ourselves of those sullen bonds that bind us. The latest edition of the decades-old classic Microsoft Flight Simulator really struck a chord with those of us stuck in our living rooms in the two years (or so) since its release. ![]() With the report page, you can get a complete overview of the feedback received within your review. But when your clients or collaborators have reviewed your assets, how do you know what they have favorited or commented on? To asd insult to injury, the wetransfer website claims to offer a non-commital one-off service which is a blantant lie.So, you've been using portals and creating reviews to your heart's content. Not many users actually need a recurring membership, but obviously the business model would not work if you could not cheat naive customers who cannot tell what they are signing up to with a one-time use. Obscure T&C signing you up to a membership you are unaware of, random amounts on bank statements as being charged in euros, no invoices or any reminders on email… once you realise you have been charged monthly for a service you are not using and manage to log on eventually, the complaint/cancellation process is obscure and unnecessarily complicated, with an arrogant customer service who feel comfortable enough in their legal position to refuse a refund.

Your content is inappropriate, unwanted and unartful. Go celebrate him dressing in bikines with his fat hairy, dispecable flesh on a porn site, leave him off yours which is public and people only want to send files. MY RESPONSE TO WE TRANSFER: The artist in question is a man who has a sexual fetish to dress as a naked woman, a simply internet search on him will show this, and he has a very questionable history. I am not interested in fat INCELS and their own autogynaphilic perversions. It's tanatmount to blackface, so just stop. and i'm fed up of having companies think somehow ANYONE wants to see or engage in this. So annoying everytime I want to send a file, I have to have a nearly naked fat man with a bra and knickers in a huge photo off to the right of screen and text telling me that "She" is celebrating "her" womanhood by, dressing nearly naked, cause, you know, that's what "women" do to "be women." More like sexist, mysogony on display in order to be 'woke', they get this bloak who clearly has a fetish to appropriate his fantasy elements of what he thinks it is to be a 'woman'. Sedja is a very nice editor to use and should cover enough ground for those who just want to complete a form or collaborate with work colleagues to hone a design. You can also create a digital representation of your signature by either drawing it freehand with your mouse or typing in your name and then selecting from one of the signature styles on offer which make it look more like it was written. The Forms tool provides ticks and markers for checkboxes, as well as the option to create new form fields. Text boxes can be dropped onto the page easily, while the shapes available give you the ability to create questions or point out things that need to be altered or clarified. Here you’ll find all the features for completing a form or annotating a document. The tool bar sits across the top of the page, and follows when you scroll down. Whichever you choose, you’ll find Sedja easy to use thanks to its clean and efficient design. If that’s too restrictive, then you can buy a weekly pass for $5/£5, move to the monthly plan for $7.50/£7.50 per month or take the Desktop+Web option for $63/£63 per year that also gives you access to the desktop version. The online version has a free tier that gives you access to all the tools you’ll need so long as you’re willing to accept the limits of up to 200 page or 50Mb files sizes, only three tasks (Edit, Compress, Fill & Sign etc.) per hour, and the files get deleted from the Sedja servers after two hours. If the colors and graphics of Canva are a bit much for you, then Sedja is a simple but powerful solution that’s well worth your time. ![]() There’s also a Pro version which opens up even more creative elements and this currently costs $14.99/£10.99 per month. If you’re looking for a way to create PDFs from scratch, with a designer flair, then Canva should be your first port of call. There’s also an array of fonts that can be utilised to bring a bit of a life to a document, but if you only want to fill in forms for professional purposes then you can ignore all these and just get on with the job in hand. Admittedly, the latter is more of a visual queue rather than a highly detailed report, but if you want to show a percentage of something to aid the reader, then Canva allows that in a colorful and interesting way. There are plenty of arrows, frames and clip-art style graphics that you can add, not to mention tables and graphs. The design background of Canva quickly becomes apparent though, as you’ll find many of the tools have a graphical element that makes them a bit more fun than the other sedate offerings you’ll find on this list. It can do the standard stuff you’d expect, such as added text to forms, highlighting areas or annotating the document. ![]() But, if your needs are modest, then the free app should cover most of the tasks you wish to accomplish.Ĭanva might be more famous for its design software, which is excellent by the way, but on its site there is also a very useful PDF editor. ![]() There are restrictions though, as if you want convert a document to or from a PDF format, edit the actual content of the PDF itself, compress the file size, organise the pages or anything outside the basic editing mentioned above, then you’ll need to sign up to at least the Adobe Acrobat Standard tier, which currently costs $12.99/£13.14 per month. When you’re done you can save the document and then send it to your desired recipient. It should be noted that this is different to Adobe’s e-sign service which offers a higher level of security but only comes with the paid tiers of Acrobat.įor more customisation, possibly if you’re working with others on the layout of a document, there are the abilities to highlight, strikethrough or draw attention to certain parts of the page via arrows, box outlines or simply freehand drawing. If you need to sign off on a document, then you can create a digital signature via your mouse or trackpad, then drop it onto the page. Using the array of tools on offer, you can drop text into documents by the quick creation of text fields, then annotate things like checkboxes or areas where you have to circle your choices, all of which is accomplished by the built-in graphic options. Its free offering is Adobe Acrobat Reader, which gives you a fair amount of features that can make working with PDF files a breeze. The obvious place to start with PDFs is the company that invented them in the first place – Adobe. ![]() As of this writing, 72% of all browsers support SVG icons. At large sizes, it’s more efficient than raster images. SVG is a vector format that describes curves instead of pixels. A single SVG icon with a light/dark version for modern browsers ![]() ico file in order to fix the Chrome bug where it chooses an ICO file over an SVG. Some tools, like RSS readers, just request /favicon.ico from the server and don’t bother looking elsewhere. In that case, you can ask your designer to come up with a special version of the logo that’s tailored to fit small pixel grids.ĭon’t get smart with the folder static asset folder structure and cache busters. I recommend sticking to a single 32×32 image, unless the one you have doesn’t downscale well to 16×16 (if it becomes blurry, for instance). ICO files actually have a directory structure and can pack files with different resolutions. This list should work with all popular browsers and devices, both old and new. Now I’ll reveal the minimal set of icons that I came up with during my research and practice. This solves a problem for Internet users that don’t have unlimited data plans.

Updating optional libraries: If upgrading from Audacity 1.3.6 or earlier, you must update to the latest LAME MP3 encoding library. After uninstalling 1.3, any extra plug-ins you added to that version will remain, and you can move them to the "Plug-Ins" folder of the new installation. If the previous version was 1.3.x, please uninstall 1.3 before installing the current 2.x version. As long as you don't change the installation directory, Audacity will install over the previous 1.2 or 2.x version, and any extra plug-ins you added to the "Plug-Ins" folder will still be available. If the previous installation was Audacity 1.2 or 2.x, the installation directory is normally Program Files\Audacity (or Program Files(x86)\Audacity on 64-bit Windows). Updating a previous installation: If you install a new Audacity version after installing a previous one, the installer will offer to install to the same directory as the previous installation.
