![]() When building railroads you should have enough coal to operate them. ![]() Railroads raise morale, increase movement speed, and increase production, but costs some coal to operate. You should be building Railroads as soon as possible, starting with all your double resource provinces. Invading too many countries too soon will leave your army weak and susceptible to attack. Don't rush to invade every country as soon as you finish a war, and don't start 2 wars at the same time. These units are fast and can be used for scouting effectively, and to quickly respond to an invasion should it be required.Īnnex as many AI states as possible. If you make more than 50 food/hour, build Barracks.īuild 2 armored cars. Build forts on the border with the country you aren't invading, as you'll need it. Build a few Workshops and upgrade them to level 2. Starting in Russia will give you access to many AI states and lots of food resources, as well as adequate amounts of energy and building materials, but the size of the provinces will result in longer travel periods and a necessity for railroads.īalance the resources so you save as much grain and oil as possible, and make sure your wood and iron are balanced.īuild Recruiting offices in each province. Starting in Africa will give you easy access to Oil, and relatively easy access to food-however, you will be short on building materials, and will be limited by that. In the later game, you will have very limited oil. However, you will be forced to expand East eventually, and without allies in Africa or Europe, that may be hard to do (though not impossible). Starting in North America will give you access to Wood and Iron, and may be extremely beneficial in the early game. Russia has access to lots of food resources and adequate oil resources, thus it can grow major armies. Libya and Arabia generally perform well, as well as have access to lots of Oil. South USA and North Canada each have 1 neighbour, and they can focus all their firepower on that neighbour. A good country to start with would be an african country although this will vary on your playing style. Ideally, you want to choose a country that has few players as neighbors, is easily defendable, easy access to a lot of resources, has many AI neighbors, and is not an island. This, along with your playing style, will determine whether you will win or lose. The very first part of Supremacy is choosing a good starting country.

After you successfully do so, Malachi is asked to go to Venice and draw similar connections to a woman who was recently murdered there. This is pretty cool because it gives you the chance to relearn trivia that you might have forgotten since history class.

He looked as dominant as ever as he got off to a sensational start, striking out two and retiring the side in order in the first on 12 pitches.

Modifying in the UI may or may not change the underlying JSON (eg modifying in the workspace tab immediately changes the workspace settings file, but in remote tab it doesn't).- We can modify in the raw JSON, in three places, which may or may not trigger a reload depending on which one you change, diverging the shown editor settings from what's present. They can also be modified by the UI as we interact with extension popups, which don't tell us which settings they're changing or where, and we don't get to approve any change. ![]() We can modify in multiple different JSON files, which it would be reasonable to assume would reflect the values in the UI editor.

Wifi hasn’t yet reached the speed or reliability of a hard-wired connection. Regardless of the device you use, you want to make sure the server is plugged into your router over ethernet. While you can use the built-in storage device, I find separate disks make it far easier to keep everything in one place. While laptops aren’t an ideal server, I never had an issue when I was running Plex off of my laptop with an external hard drive. If using a Mac Pro or Windows desktop for your server, I would highly recommend getting a separate internal Hard Drive specifically for your Plex media. It can even run directly on network-attached storage devices. Plex Media Server can run on a wide variety of devices including macOS, Windows, and Linux. On the one occasion where I reached out to Plex for support, I found that they were very quick to assist with my issue and went above and beyond to remedy it. When I did, I opted for the lifetime pass. On a personal note, I used Plex for over a year before I decided to upgrade to the Plex Pass. Earlier this year, Plex raised $50 million to expand and invest in development. ![]() Various TV shows and movies are available to watch, and they plan on expanding. In addition to watching your own content, Plex also hosts free ad-supported content. Currently, the Plex Pass costs $4.99 a month or $119.99 for a lifetime pass. The paid upgrade “Plex Pass” unlocks features like music lyric support, mobile apps, and live TV recording. Since you rely on your own hardware, the base version of the software is entirely free to use. Plex is also a very cost-effective solution. That way you don’t have to fuss around with the physical disks or re-purchasing movies you have already paid for. You can then stream the files, using Plex, to your smart TV, phones, computers, or gaming consoles. If you have a large collection of Blu-ray or DVDs, it’s possible to rip them with a tool like HandBrake. It makes it easy to stream media files from a server device to a wide variety of client devices. Plex was started back in 2007 based on the popular XBMC (now known as Kodi). You can then access them from almost any internet-connected device. The server software is installed on a machine that stores copies of any Movies, Music, or TV Shows that you want to share. There are two types of software for Plex, the server and the client. While making your own streaming service may seem like a challenging process, it’s made easy with the use of Plex. So why not convert your old computer into your own Netflix-like streaming service using Plex? With the power of current Apple Silicon based Macs, and the next generation Apple Silicon computers that could be coming later this year, plenty of Intel-based computers will be left without a purpose. ![]() Yes, there’s layers and masking, but I have no incentive to go that far because I find the first part of the workflow vastly random.Aurora HDR has become the gold standard of HDR processing. It’s certainly much slower than the HDR function of Lightroom on the same set of images. I zoomed in 100% and there I noticed also that Aurora isn’t that fast then: span around a big file at 100% and it’ll be no faster than Photomatix or other plugins. I reset the settings, it looked bad but less horrible than my first try with a first set of images. When I came back after 1h+ it was finally done, yay! (PS: I didn’t have that problem with other sets of images that I’ve tried, but if it did it once it will do it again). After 15 minutes I had to leave for a game of tennis.

I have a top of the line brand new 5K 27inch iMac with almost all options maxed out: fastest CPU, fastest GPU with 4GB of RAM, SSD, etc. One of the big selling points is how fast that application is. You tweak it a little bit more until you think it doesn’t look too horrible and you’re done. The experience of using this is very similar to Photomatix: you have a bunch of sliders but no idea what they are actually doing, so you click around brainlessly having no clue which does what, until you get to a point where you’re so confused about what you’ve done that you think it’s time to stop. If you’re like me it’ll tickle your curiosity enough to test it, for others they might think they’re buying the holy grail of HDR, but really I am doubtful.
