Difference between pink and orange coolant11/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Coolants that manufacturers sell can confuse matters even more, like Honda’s blue coolant. For example, OAT coolants are usually orange, yellow, red or purple. The truth is, color is not a reliable predictor for what type of coolant you have. All will help keep the cooling system from both overheating and freezing. While green coolant is often thought of as traditional or conventional and the color orange is associated with the newer long-life products, there are no hard-and-fast color rules when it comes to engine coolants. What is the difference between green and orange coolant? The current yellow is prestone a/f I have delivered it too. Other alternatives are certainly available (e.g., Zerex, Peak, etc.) Does Ford still use orange coolant?įord does not make coolant the orange coolant was dexcool made under license and shipped to louisville ky I delivered many loads of it. What coolant is compatible with Ford orange?īottom line is Prestone DexCool® is a safe and readily available alternative to Motorcraft. ![]() When mixed together they form a gel-like substance that stops coolant flow, and consequently, the engine overheats. The green and orange coolants do not mix. What should I do if I mixed green and orange coolant? Of course, mixing distilled water with either the pink or the orange is better than mixing the two together. The fact is, mixing these liquids is not safe. These days you can actually get yellow antifreeze, blue antifreeze, pink antifreeze and more. Also, the water pump can overheat and fail. This will halt coolant flow, causing blockages that can lead the engine to overheat, as well as damage to the radiator, water jackets and heater core. If you do mix different-coloured coolants they generally do not mix well and some can form a gel-like substance. What happens if you use the wrong color antifreeze? But if you mix a significant amount of one type in with the other type, you’re weakening your corrosion inhibitors (it happened to my brother, and look at the condition he’s in now). You can mix two different colors of the same kind of coolant without any problem whatsoever.

Hotel dusk room 215 electrical room11/20/2023 ![]() ![]() This can lead to surprising results like the battery lasting twice as long and with that giving new life to a tired old device. This is what I did on those few devices which I've used on the stock distribution - remove as much bloat as possible, remove all social media cruft, etc. Once you're over the first hurdle - unlocking - it should be easy enough.Īs an alternative you could root the device and disable (or remove) the bloat in the stock distribution, this often goes a long way towards getting a more usable device. Installing a distribution is no harder than installing Debian, keeping it up to date is easy as it supports OTA updates. If it is you'll need to unlock it which - again depending on the device - can be as easy as flipping a switch or as hard as trying to get some code from a vendor which doesn't really want to give that code or which might not even exist any more. I'm no computer scientist, just a developer.Īs to whether installing an AOSP-derived Android distribution is easy to install or not mostly depends on whether the device is locked in some way or other. I'm rambling a bit and speaking from memory here btw, take this comment with a grain of salt. Later on (with Swift) they managed to add an optimization that could omit this check if they detected the target could not change. But at the same time, I want to believe Interface Builder would be converted to obj-c code and compiled as normal.Īnyway Apple had years of head start in terms of performance and user experience (= perceived speed) to Android, their technology decisions was one of the reasons.Īnd yet, thinking about it, it wasn't even as fast as I could be because of how objective-C works, function calls are somewhat dynamic so every function call, the runtime has to look up what to call the function on. I want to believe I can imagine that the IB interface was just an XML file that had to be read, parsed and its layout built up, whereas handcoded layouts is very dumb code that would compile easily and execute quickly. One thing my colleague (who was a bit more hardcore than me) was convinced of is that hand-coding interface code was faster than using Interface Builder. I also believe Apple itself added more and more cruft to the system. But over time, on the one side the developers started adding more and more features, or switched to web tech or some hybrid technology, convinced that it would save them time and money (it didn't and the user experience is the worse for it). Not everything at least early on, iOS apps were great. can you tell it was from the team that made the PPU, rather than a modern GPU or even an SGI-derived one?), but that one is my favorite.Įdit: minor correction, the N64 supported AA, which is another reason jagged polygons are less common. There's some other fun facts about the DS (its 3D hardware is scan line based, not frame buffer based! Which means you can't do post processing on it without some hacky tricks. Extra fun when some official soundtrack releases contain the buzz :) Line rips recorded from the audio jack of the device don't have this distinctive buzz. Community tooling later allowed you to batch convert them to MP3, and the rest is history. Yes, it turns out that the people that designed the "2sf" format used for unofficial music rips simply used stripped down ROMs and code extracted from a version of DeSMuMe. Fun fact! The Nintendo DS audio chip has a distinctive buzz that's visible in all audio tips uploaded to YouTube, and you can even hear it on this page! It comes from. ![]()

Native instruments kontakt player11/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Sample recording is very different to your standard musical performance recording. You were successful in setting up your recording session, placing the microphones appropriately and now you are ready to start recording. And you need an instrument to sample of course! RECORDING THE SAMPLES: No need for fancy rooms and expensive consoles. All of that is available to every composer out there. A good recording interface with decent preamps, and a nice quiet place to record the samples. To resume: You need a good microphone, or a pair of them. ![]() I am still proud of what I achieved that day, and it got me hooked on sampling. I didn’t even have a booth, I recorded the samples carefully in my living room and it was the most satisfying experience to do it this way. I sampled my first stuff for an indie horror game on a TASCAM DR40 with its built-in mics, and I am still using those samples to this day. You can sample your own instruments in your room and if you have a recording booth that’s even better! Use whatever mics you have at your disposal. No need to worry about not having high-end vintage mics, million-dollar consoles and sort of stuff. There are a few top composers out there who have sampled their own libraries of instruments for personal use that nobody else has. Sure, that’s all nice, but here’s one thing that will make your sampled instrument more original than theirs: everybody else is already using that commercial library, and you’re the only one using the one you made yourself, and that makes it special, and if you have the skills, that will make your compositions stand out from the crowd. Whenever you read a description of some sample library there is always that line where it says how it was recorded with top-notch musicians in the most beautiful sounding space that ever existed on this planet and it was captured with the best high-end studio gear that money can buy etc… Say for example you have a really cool drum or percussive instrument and you really like the sound of it, so you want to record and sample it for your compositions. One thing I should mention is that you can only create your own sampled instruments in the full version of Kontakt and not in the free Kontakt Player. But what about when we want to sample our own instruments for Kontakt? That’s a whole different story, and that’s exactly what we will be covering in this three part series. Using Kontakt and routing it is very easy. Almost every existing instrument out there has its virtual representation in Kontakt. Sure, there are other samplers out there but neither of them are as feature-packed, nor as powerful as Kontakt. When you think about it, every film you ever saw, or any game you have ever played has had a soundtrack that features a Kontakt sampled instrument in it. Kontakt by Native Instruments has got to be the sampling world standard for professional musicians and media composers alike. ![]() Basic Sampling For Native Instruments Kontakt Part 1 ![]()

Fairlife shelf stable milk11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() However, while the UHT process kills all the bad bacteria making so that it doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it also kills the good bacteria. The fact that it doesn’t need to get refrigerated until it’s sold means that store owners save tons of money, which adds to its popularity. In fact, UHT milk is the most common type of milk sold in many countries outside of the United States. Once they’re opened, however, Fairlife and other forms of UHT milk should get refrigerated.īecause of the low cost of making UHT milk and the even lower cost of storing and selling it, it’s growing in popularity. As a result, Fairlife and similar types of milk that undergo the same pasteurization process don’t need to be refrigerated before they’re opened. The process used to ultra-pasteurize milk is known as UHT or ultra-high-temperature pasteurization.īecause of the UHT process, enough of the bacteria in milk is killed to make it shelf-stable. As a result, ultra-pasteurized milk has far fewer bacteria than milk that’s pasteurized by traditional means. Ultra-pasteurized milk gets heated to a temperature of 280 degrees Fahrenheit for two seconds.Īlthough it’s heated for a much shorter amount of time, the extreme heat is more effective at killing harmful bacteria. Rather than heating the milk up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds, it gets nuked. With ultra-pasteurized milk, such as Fairlife, the pasteurization process is different and much more intense. While this process kills a decent amount of bacteria, it doesn’t kill enough to make it shelf-stable, which means it has to be refrigerated. In most cases, milk is pasteurized at a temperature of 165 degrees for around 15 seconds. The goal of preparing or pasteurizing milk is to kill harmful bacteria found inside the milk. ![]() Whether or not milk will stay good without being refrigerated depends on how it was prepared. Why Does Ultra-Pasteurized Milk Like Fairlife Milk Not Spoil If Not Refrigerated? Also, no matter which Fairlife product you have, they should all be refrigerated after you’ve opened them. ![]() While some Fairlife products, such as the 8-ounce six-packs of milk and the Core Power Protein Shakes don’t need to be refrigerated before opening, other products including the Fairlife 52-ounce and 11.5-ounce individual packages need to be refrigerated before opening. It’s also pasteurized at a high temperature for a brief amount of time, which further reduces the need to refrigerate it. Fairlife milk is ultra-pasteurized which is a process that kills all the bacteria found within it. However, certain ultra-pasteurized milk brands, namely Fairlife Milk, don’t actually need to be refrigerated to keep from spoiling. Traditionally, milk is a product that you see in a store in the cooler section so that it keeps from spoiling. ![]()

Duke nukem 3d squish sound effect11/19/2023 ![]() A sound file with multiple blocks (and hence no consistent sampling rate) is listed as "multi". The bitfield value determines the usage of the sound within the game, as described in the table above. The priority range is 0-255, higher numbers having higher priority. The priority value determines which sound should have priority when multiple sounds are playing at once. The sound will choose a random value within this range each time it plays (unless the values are not a 'range', in which case it will remain static). The first 2 values define a pitch shift range, and can be negative or positive. The columns on the right half of the table are technical parameters. The definition name and file name are used to reference the sound in the CON files. The sound number is used as a tag value in the map editor, to specify the corresponding sound to be used during gameplay. The maximum number of sound definitions allowed in DEFS.CON is 450 (0-449) in DOS Duke3D, and 2560 (0-2559) in EDuke32.There are size and sampling rate limits for sound file compatibility.Custom sound files within the game's root directory have priority over the sound files within DUKE3D.GRP. ![]()

Audio hijacker11/19/2023 ![]() This global window can also be pinned, for instant access from within any application. In conjunction with background sessions, the new Audio Hijack status item provides global control from the menu bar. Try it out in the “Scripting” tab of your sessions, as well as via the Shortcuts app on macOS 12 (Monterey), and let us know how it works for you.Īudio Hijack sessions can now run without their window being open. For 4.0.0, we plan to have a solid skeleton, one which we’ll flesh out further in subsequent updates. The eventual goal is to allow you to configure and automate everything you’d want. Speaking of oft-requested features, Audio Hijack now supports scripting via JavaScript. ![]() Note that Undo is well supported, so fiddle without fear. We experimented with both modeless and moded manual connections, and have found this moded system to work best. As well, block titles can now be edited, particularly helpful when using multiple blocks of the same type.Īn oft-requested feature, it’s finally possible to edit the precise block layout of your sessions manually. As well, the Input and Output blocks also now include a “Track” option, to follow the default devices set system-wide.Īll blocks now offer popovers, allowing them to be pinned for easy viewing and access when Audio Hijack is in the background. To avoid inadvertently using sub-par built-in mics, the input block now requires you manually select a device, and it visually distinguishes built-in devices. The “Mixer” block makes it easy to mix up to 5 sources, while the “Magic Boost” and “Simple Compressor” blocks provide potent audio adjustments with minimal configuration. The new version keeps all of Audio Hijack’s features and adds a bunch of new features: All three of those recordings are made with a single Audio Hijack workflow. For example, when I record a Podcast, I make three recordings: 1) me alone 2) the other person alone 3) the two of us together. Rarely do I run into a recording problem that I can’t solve with Audio Hijack. Audio Hijack is my Swiss-Army Knife for audio on my Mac.
