If you've got any questions about something in this post, shoot me a comment and I'll be glad to answer. Make sure to check out these posts as they might help: I keep going back to the upright pose that I like more. I don't think the size is much different actually since unaltered termies are also a bit bigger than power armoured marines as well. In one of the comments, there was a request to see the truescale model next to a regular power armoured space marine for comparison. UPDATED: Comparison shot of truescale termie next to power armoured marine I just can't see myself making the old style anymore. As an added bonus, the rest of your army doesn't suddenly look out of scale either. The cost is next to nothing in terms of materials (you can make the spacer out of anything you want) and the work is not all that difficult (and mostly hidden). The beauty of this conversion is that you get a huge bang for your buck too. I really like the version I created here as it solves the two things that bothered me most about terminators. That would bulk out the upper portion of the legs and give him some real mass overall I think. The other is a bit more involved where I would fill in the recessed areas of the upper leg armour and then resculpt new reinforcement ribs over that. One is to add a thin spacer to the bottoms of his feet to bulk them up slightly and add a tiny bit more height. ![]() I think if I were to add anything else to the model, I might do two more things. They are pretty close in height when you get right down to it, it's just the look of the model that's changed considerably. The sculpted shoulderpad icon and converted storm bolter are just extra.Īnd some comparison shots of a regular unaltered terminator standing next to my version. ![]() It gets rid of the hunchback look the current termies have. The end result is and extended torso with arms that look like they come out of a set of shoulders and his head sitting on top of that. All I did was cut off the top third of the arm peg on both sides of the torso so the arms attached at a lower point. They have been lowered on the torso by 1/3 of their height. The second and just as important thing for me was the adjustment of the arms. I thought it would be harder to do, but so much of that area of the model is blocked by other elements, you don't have to be perfect with your sculpting. The short of it is that I "extended" the chest piece down to cover the gap I created when I added the spacer. Once it cured, I took my X-Acto knife and cut away the greenstuff just above the belt line and then cut a small section out for the abdomen (3). I tapered it down to match the angle of the chest armour (2). Then I took some greenstuff and filled in the gap all the way around the model. When I was constructing the model, I placed a 2mm spacer between the legs and chest section when I glued them together (1). I tried a number of ways to adjust the height of the abdomen and settled on this way since it did the job the best for me. The two things that were "must" changes for me were the position of the arms on the torso and the height of the abdominal section. That being said, take a look and judge for yourself the difference a 2mm spacer and some greenstuff can make. Looking back, my model is not so much truescale as it is just standing the model upright and getting rid of the hunched over look. Update: Check out the "Art Scale" Terminator conversion

Once the loss-prevention benefits of these technologies and techniques (many of which are not yet available in the marketplace) are sufficiently demonstrated, insurers can promote their use through informational programs and perhaps financial incentives (e.g., risk-adjusted insurance premium schemes) through the insurance regulatory and rate-making processes. Department of Energy's national laboratories and which the insurance and risk management communities could encourage their customers to use to address their short-term and long-term needs. In this report, we present a compilation of energy-efficiency and renewable energy projects (e.g., energy-efficient halogen torchiere replacements) and techniques (e.g., infrared cameras to detect fire hazards) that are currently being investigated at the U.S. ![]() The insurance and risk management communities could take advantage of these technologies, either independently or in cost-sharing partnerships with existing R&D programs. These technologies have many benefits, including insurance loss reduction and prevention. Most of the technologies described in this report were supported by government- sponsored RD&D programs more » over many years of effort. While the economic benefits of these measures are of interest to energy consumers seeking to reduce their energy expenditures, we have found that they also offer a novel and largely untapped pathway for achieving traditional risk management objectives. This report addresses a new category of risk management opportunity involving technologies and procedures that use energy more efficiently or supply renewable energy. The promotion of technologies and services for insurance loss reduction and loss prevention is as old as the fields of insurance and risk management. 7/25/2023 0 Comments Ios macos monterey apple stereo![]() ![]() Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews.

AUCH/AUER/AUFM/AUFR/AULB/AUPC/AUPS/AUUT.bin 32 bit PCM, Mono at 8000 Hz.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping.It has the following attributes: 32-bit, Stereo at 48000 Hz in the PCM S24 LE (s24l) codec, and was encoded with Amadeus Pro. The shutdown sound is located in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/DeviceShutdown.caf. This means that if the vibration setting is turned off in Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch -> Vibration, the haptics will still play even if the setting is off. If the chime is on, vibration settings are ignored for both the startup and shutdown sounds. The reason why the iPhone chime has 3 channels is due to the fact that the chime also does haptic feedback through the Taptic Engine. Some devices use the same chime despite being put into separate files. To export, click File -> Export -> Export as WAV/MP3/OGG/other. To extract them, first extract the img4 header, and from here, open Audacity, click File -> Import -> Raw data and specify the parameters listed below. They are located in the iOS/macOS IPSW in Firmware/embeddedaudioresources/image4. IPhones and Macs with Apple Silicon use raw audio files to play the startup/charging chimes. It is in an AIFF container with the following attributes: 16-bit, Stereo at 44100 Hz in the twos codec. The charging chime is stored in /System/Library/Audio/Sounds/connect_power.aif. On Macs with bridgeOS 4.6 or earlier, the boot chime file name is the same, but the file is in an Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) container and the attributes are different: 16-bit, Mono at 24000 Hz in the IMA QT ADPCM Audio (ima4) codec. The attributes are: 16-bit, Stereo at 48000 Hz with ALAC. ![]() aiff extension the chime is actually encoded in the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) in a CoreAudio (.caf) container. On T2 Macs, the chime is located in bridgeOS in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/amework/AXEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.aiff. The chimes are CoreAudio (CAF) files with the following attributes: 16-bit, Mono at 44100 Hz with the IMA QT ADPCM Audio (ima4) codec. On T2 Macs, the UEFI Firmware contains the older 1998 chime. From here select Text and search for caff. To easily look for the chimes, after opening the UEFI firmware in UEFITool, select Action -> Search. The similar method applies to the attach chimes, but the section has no codename on it. Since it is a CoreAudio file, make sure to add the. Finally, extract the Raw Section inside it by right clicking on it, and selecting Extract body. Then, search for the BootChimeAudio section. The startup (and attach) chimes are located in the UEFI firmware. Toggle on the switch next to Power/Turn On & Off Sounds. In Settings, scroll down to Accessibility. Note: the steps only apply to the iPhone 14 lineup. Use the “Play sound on startup” setting to turn the startup sound on or off. In the Sound Effects pane, use the “Play sound on startup” setting to turn the startup sound on or off.Ĭhoose Apple Menu -> System Settings., then click Sound. To modify it, choose Apple Menu -> System Preferences., then click Sound. Since macOS Big Sur, the startup chime is again turned on by default. This is the only method to disable/enable the chime in macOS Catalina or earlier. To enable the chime, type in the following Terminal command: sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume To disable the chime, type in the following Terminal command: sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
