La team HECU Collective vient de l'annoncer Black Mesa va s'enrichir d'un cinquième chapitre, sobrement nommé Black Mesa : Blue Shift, avec la promesse de revivre les événements de Black Mesa du point de vue de Barney Calhoun, cela rappelle fortement l'extension Blue Shift d'Half Life et c'est bien normal puisque Black Mesa est un remake fan du titre de Valve ! Black Mesa : Blue Shift sera disponible le 17 novembre, la page Steam dédiée au projet se trouve ici. […]

Ce n'est un secret pour personne, les performances des processeurs Arrow Lake-S ont été décevantes. Dans nos tests des 245K et 285K et même 265K, les mesures ont révélé que les performances n'étaient pas à la hauteur de nos espérances et d'autant plus en Gaming, ou le 14900K était souvent devant, tout comme pas mal de puces AMD d'ailleurs. Mais il semblerait qu'un grand nombre de facteurs puissent expliquer ces performances décevantes. […]

Après le sim racing avec le cockpit GR500, Thermaltake se tourne vers les amateurs de vol et présente le GF500, un dérivé étudié pour poser une poignée de gaz, un yoke, un palonnier et un joystick. Pas forcément tout en même temps, mais les possibilités sont là. Concrètement, le produit est simple et reprend la base du GR500 avec des accessoires adaptés pour la simulation de vol. Le cockpit conserve sa construction en aluminium, tout comme le support pour le pédalier / palonnier, tandis que les autres supports sont en acier avec de nombreux trous pour s'adapter à un maximum d'accessoires. Une liste est disponible sur la fiche, ici. […]

Découvrez l'adhésion Priority améliorée et renommée, désormais appelée Performance ; de plus, les Day Pass sont en vente pour une durée limitée et sept jeux rejoignent le cloud cette semaine. Il est temps de briller L'abonnement Performance conserve tous les mêmes avantages en matière de jeux et offre désormais aux membres une expérience de streaming améliorée sans frais supplémentaires. Dites bonjour à l'abonnement Performance. Les membres Performance peuvent streamer jusqu'à 1440p - une augmentation par rapport à la résolution précédente de 1080p - et découvrir les jeux dans des résolutions immersives et ultra-larges. Ils peuvent également sauvegarder leurs paramètres graphiques dans le jeu au fil des sessions de streaming, y compris pour les fonctionnalités NVIDIA RTX dans les titres pris en charge. Tous les membres actuels de Priority sont automatiquement mis à niveau vers Performance et peuvent profiter dès aujourd'hui de l'expérience de streaming améliorée. Les membres Performance se connecteront à des serveurs équipés de GeForce RTX pour une résolution allant jusqu'à 1440p. Les membres Ultimate continuent de bénéficier de la meilleure expérience de streaming : ils se connectent à des serveurs équipés de GeForce RTX 4080 avec une résolution allant jusqu'à 4K et 120 images par seconde, ou 1080p et 240 images par seconde en mode Compétitif pour les jeux prenant en charge la technologie NVIDIA Reflex. Les joueurs jouant sur le niveau gratuit verront désormais qu'ils diffusent en streaming à partir de plates-formes de base, avec des spécifications variables qui offrent un jeu en nuage d'entrée de gamme et sont optimisées pour la capacité. Il est temps de jouer.

Les membres peuvent vérifier le temps qu'ils ont passé dans le nuage via le portail de leur compte (voir l'exemple de capture d'écran ci-dessus). Jusqu'à 15 heures de jeu non utilisées seront automatiquement reportées sur le mois suivant pour les membres, et des heures supplémentaires peuvent être achetées au prix de 2,99 $ pour 15 heures supplémentaires de performance, ou de 5,99 $ pour 15 heures supplémentaires d'Ultimate.

Un peu de monitoring chez JONSBO, qui place un petit écran avec un affichage très simple sur le top de la pompe de sa nouvelle série TH. Un affichage qui va à l'essentiel, tout comme le logiciel en arrière-plan, et ça peut être une bonne chose à l'heure où les écrans proposent toujours plus de possibilités. De quoi donner plus de choix au consommateur donc, mais JONSBO ne s'arrête pas là et mise également sur le chainage des ventilateurs en optant pour un cadre unique. Le hic ? Les pales semblent assez réduites sur le diamètre ; mais le rendu avec l'éclairage RGB semble très réussi. […]

Il semblerait donc bien qu'Intel refuse les demandes de RMA pour les processeurs 14900K qui sont touchés par des soucis d'instabilité et qui utilisaient de la pâte thermique en métal liquide. Cela fait écho à un problème de prise en charge d'un de nos lecteurs, mais cela semble être la même chose pour un autre utilisateur à Hong Kong. Intel a refusé la garantie du processeur car l'IHS de ce dernier avait été détérioré par la pâte thermique, rendant illisible les numéros de série du processeur. Dans les termes de garantie des bleus, il est bien mentionné qu'un processeur exploitant du Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material ne sera pas pris en garantie. On peut donc penser que les bleus sont dans leur bon droit et c'est le cas. […]

Vous rêvez d'un processeur Ryzen 7 9800X3D, malheureusement les stocks semblent inexistants et la situation ne semble pas vouloir s'arranger dans un futur proche, rien ne garantit que vous puissiez l'avoir au pied de votre sapin… En effet, aujourd'hui, on apprend que le marchand allemand Mindfactory annonce un réapprovisionnement dudit processeur à la fin du mois de décembre ! La question est alors de savoir si le dernier-né d'AMD est victime de son succès ou s'il s'agit d'un nouveau produit lancé avec des stocks inexistants. En France, la situation n'est pas meilleure, le processeur n'est pas en stock chez les marchands les plus connus et le réapprovisionnement est généralement fixé à plus de 15 jours. […]

Ce jour, nous avons donc le droit à quelques potentielles nouvelles informations sur les futurs APU d'AMD, codename MEDUSA. Des APU que l'on pourrait retrouver dans les PS6 de SONY ainsi que dans la prochaine Xbox de Microsoft. Et MEDUSA devrait donc s'offrir les services d'une architecture ZEN 6, accompagné d'un iGPU en RDNA5, donc avec un puce NAVI 5x. Cet APU proposerait aussi un lien interconnect 2.5D afin de maximiser les échanges entre les différents composants présents sur le substrat. […]

De nouvelles rumeurs font écho d'un focus de la part de NVIDIA se concentrerait sur la production des futures RTX 5000, cela se traduirait par l'arrêt des chaines de production de la plupart des RTX 4000. Concrètement, NVIDIA aurait cessé de produire des puces AD102, 103, 104 et 106, seules les AD107 seraient encore en production, qui équipent classiquement les RTX 4060 desktop et les RTX 4050 laptop.

LG a franchi un cap dans le développement des écrans souples avec une nouvelle dalle capable de s'étirer jusqu'à 50 % de sa taille initiale. Le dernier prototype, en 2022, était une dalle de 12 pouces capable de s'étirer de 20 %, soit 14 pouces. Aujourd'hui, LG présente un écran souple, malléable et extensible de 12 pouces jusqu'à 18 pouces avec une résolution de 100 pixels par pouce. […]

Enfin, si, les configurations sont notées sur Steam, mais nous attendrons confirmation avant la sortie. […]

De nouveaux drivers sont disponibles du côté de NVIDIA, les GeForce Game Ready 566.14 WHQL. Outre la signature numérique, les nouveaux drivers promettent des performances optimales dans les jeux S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl et Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, ainsi que la prise en charge de la technologie DLSS3 dans ces titres.

Hey there, fellow fitness enthusiasts! It's Marc, and today we're diving deep into the world of tendinitis. If you've ever felt that nagging pain in your tendons, you know it's no joke. But fear not, I've got your back! Let's break it down:

What is Tendinitis?

• It's the inflammation of the tendon, often caused by overuse, injuries, or even your favorite sports like tennis or golf. I've personally battled with it multiple times, and trust me, it's a real pain (pun intended).

My Personal Tendinitis Journey:

• I've had my fair share of flare-ups, especially in my left arm and shoulder. From snowboarding mishaps to intense workouts, tendinitis has been an unwelcome guest. But guess what? I've found ways to combat it and I'm here to share them with you!

Marc's Six-Step Tendinitis Recovery Plan:

1. Cease and Desist: Identify the culprit exercise and take a break from it.
2. Ice, Ice Baby: Apply ice to the affected area for short durations. It's a game-changer!
3. Heat Creams: I'm a fan of AST BioFreeze, but Tiger Balm works wonders too.
4. Support: Invest in braces or supports to immobilize the area.
5. Ultrasound: A little device that can make a big difference.
6. Deep Tissue Massage: It might hurt a bit, but the relief is unparalleled.

The Pro Athlete Mindset:

• Ever wondered how professional athletes bounce back from injuries so quickly? It's not just about the money or the drugs. It's about the mindset, the resources, and the determination to heal and recover.

Final Thoughts:

• Tendinitis might slow you down, but with the right approach, you can bounce back stronger than ever. Remember, it's not about avoiding the pain but finding ways to heal and grow from it.

Got questions or want to share your tendinitis story? Shoot me an email at Marc@JustAskMarc.com. And don't forget to check out the blog for more fitness stories and tips. Stay strong and keep pushing those boundaries! ????????

Note: Always consult with a medical professional before trying any new treatments or remedies.

Well,

It's been a while since we've posted on Drifters. We're drifting
as usual :o). In a good way this time.


We added another blog to our blog group. I've always had a
fascination with cocktail dresses and heels. My fascination
started while singing in bands and competing in talent shows
in the military.

There was one thing all of us ladies would shop for prior to
a talent contest, "Cocktail Dresses". We here always
discouraged from wearing short dresses and always had a
hard time finding dresses. Especially when we were in
Germany. Well, I started a Cocktail Dress and Heels Blog
in memory of playing the dress up game.

Check out our latest post: Here

Our most recent post is on Red and Black Short Tight Cocktail
Dresses (Blush). What can I say? I love fashion and travel.
Let me know your thoughts.

Most of the dresses can be used as cruise dresses, New Years,
and dresses for the upcoming College Spring Break! Once again
check out our site. Hope you like it:

Hi Everyone,

Blogging is so much fun. At times we can run across very ruthless people on here. One of the blogs I had to be changed from a blogspot blog to a dot com blog. This was not because of Blogger. Blogger has supported us above reproach and I'm a true Blogger fan.

It's just when you have a good thing, you have to protect it. Our new web site address for Glamour and Cocktail Dresses is www.cocktaildressandheels.com . So if you want to continue looking for cocktail dresses and evening dresses with us, please go to the above address.

Someone may ask, how in the heck did I go from Travel Memoirs to Cocktail Dresses? It's very simple. When you travel, you want to look good. When people go on a cruise, there's normally parties and formal nights.

Men wear tuxes or suits and the women wear formals. It's really amazing how one travel experience can revamp a person's wardrobe.

I recall taking a trip to Hawaii (while stationed in Alaska). I wanted a few nice outfits, dresses and new high heels. What did I do? I went on a shopping spree and begged a girlfriend for a few of her outfits.

The next post, I'll tell you about my trip to Hawaii! Remember, I was stationed in Alaska and it was around 20 degrees and when I landed in Hawaii, it was 88 degrees lol. What a contrast.

Take care and have a great holiday season.

Wow, it's been an amazing time since I've written on this blog.
Right now as I type, I'm in Kansas City, MO checking out
commercial property and visiting family.

There isn't enough time to go to all the places I want to go
here, but there is one place someone may want to check out.
Yesterday, I went somewhere I hadn't been since I was
around 10 years old.

My father and I stopped by the Liberty Memorial. It's a WWI
memorial. It's at the top of a hill that overlooks KCMO and it's
a place you'd want to stop and see. The statues and monument
are colossal.

Liberty Memorial is quite a sight to see. Take a look and see this
beautiful place.

Another place that is very popular in KCMO is Gates Barbeque.
My mother grew up with the owner, who name is Ollie Gates.
He's one of the leading entrepreneurs in KCMO. He owns all of
the Gates Barbeque restaurants and they are known for their
famous BBQ and BBQ sauce. He also owns many properties in
town. He's definitely a role model to emulate.

The other BBQ chain is Bryants BBQ. These are two places you'd
want to see if you travel to Kansas City. Kansas City is known for
their BBQ nationwide.

I'm here to check out the commercial property in the area. Many
homes and apartments are boarded up. It's so sad to see. Online
I checked the retail shopping centers that are for sale in the area.
Many of those are corporate owned for unknown reasons. Not
sure what has happened to the economy here, but looks like it's
taken it's toll.

Well today, I'm scouting a few residential properties to get a feel of
the real estate market. If I see something interesting or with
potential, I'll be sure to submit a letter of intent. We'll see what
happens. This evening I'm going to see if I can locate a Karaoke
spot to hang out at.

Well, until then, take care and thanks for stopping by.

A posting from Brand autopsy that really makes us think.

Do SomethingOne of the earliest business rules I can recall that made a HUGE difference in my professional style was...

Never present a problem to your boss without having a suggested solution ready. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution.In their book, Why People Business People Speak Like Idiots, Fugere, Hardaway & Washawsky take this lesson further. They call it... Do Something.

Here's an excerpt of the passage...

"...Never present a problem without actually doing something that represents a positive step to fix it. Even if it's nothing more than scheduling a trip to visit the disgruntled customer, do something. Show momentum toward and answer, even if you don't know what the answer is. There's a difference between bad news with signs of hope and bad news presented from the deepest pits of despair. You don't want to be the happy messenger, but it's not much better to be the hopeless prophet of doom."

For those passionate professionals wondering how they can position themselves for the next role at their organization this is one of those priceless tips.

For more tips on being better at your job, I highly recommend the book The Unofficial Guide to Power Managing by Alan Weiss. We've mentioned this before on Brand Autopsy... This book is so good you won't want to tell your co-workers you're reading it.
