![]() ![]() Of course, then, as now, to run it well you really must run Windows PCs as clients. With decades of working hand-in-glove with Microsoft, Workspace works very well. While an array of big-name and smaller vendors offer Windows DaaS, most Windows-centric offices will find one of the following three options to be their best bet: Citrix WorkspaceĬitrix has been providing remote MS-DOS and Windows desktops since 1992. What business software you’re already using should be your guide for your cloud-based desktop. Unlike with a standard office PC setup, if a PC gets fried by a lightning bolt, all the user needs is another working computer of some kind to get back to work. This points out yet another reason why DaaS makes perfect sense for a remote workforce. For example, while you wouldn’t want to run Windows 365 off iPhones, iPads, or Android smartphones, you could. With most DaaS offerings, it doesn’t matter what hardware your home workers are using. Scalability has long been the cloud’s biggest selling point. ![]() Again, with a remote workforce, these advantages count even more. All of that’s taken care of by your DaaS provider. But if you elect to go with Windows 365 Cloud PC - Microsoft’s new, easy-to-use DaaS Windows service - you can run it on your existing hardware.įurthermore, the DaaS approach cuts down on system maintenance charges, such as backups, software updates, and security. Or, as your CFO might say, DaaS trades capex license spending for opex subscription costs.įor example, to run Windows 11, most users will need brand-new PCs. Why? Because just as cloud-based SaaS made better financial sense for companies than the old models, the same is true of DaaS. The natural next step in IT evolution is to move not just productivity software, but also the desktop itself, to the cloud. Microsoft 365/Office 365 has 47.5% of the market, followed by Google’s application family, with 44.56%. Indeed, by Statista’s latest count of office productivity software market share, office software that’s hosted on-premises barely counts. Today’s Windows PCs are far more likely to run software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings such as Microsoft 365/Office 365 or Google Workspace than they are old-style office suites such as Office 2019, WordPerfect Office, or LibreOffice. We still have PCs on our desks, but increasingly, we’ve been moving back to the centralized model. ![]() Decades ago, we used dumb terminals attached to mainframes for corporate work. With this work transformation, the desktop is also changing. government: They’re all either delaying office reopenings or shifting to remote or hybrid work. Just ask Google, Facebook, Netflix, or the U.S. Thanks to the pandemic, working from home no longer languishes as a rare option for a few workers. ![]()

In order to use Idobata 2, you will need to download the ZIP file (when available) from Kanae Porjects (the application is provided in both 32- and 64-bit options), and you’ll also need to have the Microsoft Speech Platform 11 runtime, installed on your PC as well. Those who prefer not to have ads in their software can remove the banners by obtaining a user name and password from Yuzuru for a nominal donation of L$300 towards his running costs. Unlike its predecessor, Idobata 2 will be provided free-of-charge, but will include banner adverts for other products in the Kanae Project range. Idobata 2 is due to be launched on Tuesday, January 27th, so the following is intended to preview the new version, which will be available on the Kanae Projects website from approximately 13:00 SLT onwards on the 27th. Further, Yuzuru has also added a capability for it to be used with Skype chats. The new version, Idobata 2, still does that, but in addition it can also monitor all IM and group chat sessions, etc., and convert them to the spoken word. ![]() When running, the original version – Idobata Pro – would capture text typed into chat in the viewer in real-time, or view the chat look, and convert it into the spoken word. As noted above, it is a text-to-speech conversion tool which currently works with the official Second Life viewer and both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Firestorm (and as a result can be used with SL and OpenSim). Idobata was first launched in September 2013, when I originally reviewed it. This being the case, when Yuzuru first notified me that he was working on a new version of Idobata, his a text-to-speech conversion tool, I made a point to be ready to clear time to look at it when he was ready to allow me access. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been asked by Yuzuru Jewell to evaluate some of his software tools – a task I’m always delighted to perform as time allows, although in truth, I’ve fallen a little behind of late. Update, January 28th: as noted below, Idobata 2 is now available from the Kanae Projects website. Update, March 3rd: Yuzuru has produced demo video for Idobata 2, and I’ve included it at the end of this article. Don't give anyone ideas, as this will tempt them to stuff beans up their nose.Idobata 2: offering text-to-speech conversion for SL (and Skype chat) users

I would most highly recommend Mat and his List Now Realty firm for anyone that wants to list their home and get the unbeatable service as I did.” John V. List Now Reality is a very professional business and I am very happy to have had their Assistance throughout my Real Estate selling period. “Working with Matt as my Listing agent was the smartest thing that I did to sell my home. Matt is the real deal! Professional, knowledgeable and genuine! Matt and his team responded promptly and I received the best customer care which is why I am writing this review as I am not someone that normally does this but felt I wanted to try in a small way to repay him and his team for all their hard work! Matt and List Now Realty is worth the money! Just watch his video online and everything he talks about I experienced when doing my research on finding a company that would work for us!

You truly couldn’t find someone that cares so much to help you get your home on the MLS. As a private investor in real estate, I will continue to use List Now Realty to sell all of my investment properties. With List Now Realty, I sold my home in 60 days by myself and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in selling commission. Everything they said they would do they did promptly and professionally. In completing my due diligence on the company, I even tested the agency’s customer service number by calling to verify a live person was answering the phone. On several occasions, Matt personally took the time to explain the listing process to me and answered my questions. Matt and his team were honest and straightforward. I researched many flat fee listing companies only to find out that in the fine print, they still wanted a percentage of the sale or hid fees. In today’s changing real estate environment and the current strength of the residential housing market, I chose to sell my waterfront home on my own. “I am so pleased with Matt Buttner and List Now Realty. Add it up! Matt saved us a LOT of MONEY (our equity stayed in our pocket). ![]() So Matt saved us over $20,000 dollars just on commissions and then another $40,000 when we priced our home where it should have been.

That and the 2% buyers fee comes to a lot less than 5 or 6%. We paid TYTO media $199 for beautiful pictures. THAT IS OUR EQUITY! No, I don’t think so. ![]() They wanted us to list $40,000 less than what we sold for. Then they wanted 5% or 6 % of the sale price. Matt saved us a lot of MONEY!! When we talked with other Realtors before listing, they wanted us to list really low for price and the value of our house. When we had a question he gave us the answers. Matt did an excellent job!

(Gallo also received zero professional psychological support at the time.) Despite a somewhat confusing upbringing, Gallo has since learned to fully embrace their intersex qualities. Gallo was given prosthetic testicles in their teens and had almost no say in their medical treatment whatsoever. (At one point here, she admits to carrying tampons in her purse during her teens in order to avoid scrutiny about her lack of a period.) Weigel first came out publicly in 2017 when she testified before the Texas Congress, arguing against the state’s controversial bathroom bill, which was ultimately struck down.įinally, there’s River Gallo (they/them), who was raised as a boy - and is still misgendered by their own mother - despite being born without testes. Alicia was born with internal testes instead of a uterus, but grew up being told to keep it a secret from everyone in her life, including her own brother. ![]() Then there’s Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they) who was born with XY chromosomes, but always outwardly presented as female. It was a decision made by doctors to, according to medical notes, “protect parents’ emotional wellbeing.” Wall is clear here that he felt like a male from day one and has been living with the consequences of that early medical intervention ever since. There’s Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) who was born with an ambiguous gender, but surgically forced into a female-appearing body in infancy. ‘Every Body’ documents - and celebrates - the lives of three intersex people.Īt the center of Every Body (directed by Julie Cohen, who was also responsible for 2018’s excellent RBG) are three enormously charismatic and likable intersex folks. But Every Body’s core does such a good job of explaining the litany of wrongs historically done to American intersex people that a deep sense of injustice is hard to shake off. At times, particularly towards its end, the new film - all about the ‘I’ in LGBTQIA - leans hard into themes of hope and optimism. I was reminded of that sensation while watching the brand new documentary, Every Body. Both left me with a burning pit in my stomach long after the credits rolled. I’m thinking of 2012’s The Invisible War, about the handling of sexual assaults in the military, and 2015’s The Hunting Ground, about survivors of on-campus sexual assault. Especially those about people who’ve survived physical violations only to suffer mental and emotional violations in their fight for justice.

The company offers a line of rescue hooks for combat medics and IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) applications. The Presidio II improved the design with an improved blade to handle ratio and a more powerful and reliable spring.īenchmade also offers several fixed blade combat knives such as the Nimravus, Fixed Adamas, and Special Operations’ favorite, SOCP products. In 2017, the Presidio received an upgrade of its own. The Presidio® also uses anodized aluminum handle scales, but incorporates an ergonomically curved design and a bi-directional mill pattern which facilitates an incredibly strong grip. The AXIS Auto mechanism makes opening and closing the knife quick, easy, and intuitive for right or left-handed users. In 2002, Benchmade re-set the bar by introducing its first military knife using its patented AXIS® Automatic lock, which boasts a 100% ambidextrous design. The AFO continues to be a military staple in the form of the AFO II which features improvements in the push button activation and integrated safety. Finally, the AFO introduced an upgraded blade steel which offered improvements in strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The AFO also offered strong lock-up and a zippy spring, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in the military. Such a strong grip helped soldiers employ the attention-getting, steel pommel. The AFO was a large, durable knife, designed with the ideal size and shape to foster a rock-solid grip by the gloved hands of soldiers. Benchmade then set the standard for military products with the AFO (Armed Forces Only) in 1998. Its iconic tactical legacy was forged with the introduction of the Auto Stryker, which was an aluminum handled, push button auto.

Quickly realizing that tactical blade designs are diametrically opposed to hard use, working blade designs, they looked to design an ambidextrous product that would house two blades, both of which would be excellent for their intended purposes. It needed to work as well for medical responders, as it does for law enforcement and military responders. Rounding out its impressive feature set are a rescue hook, carbide glass breaker, and textured G10 handle scales.īenchmade’s design team took on the difficult challenge of creating a single tool that does not compromise. It also is fully serrated for chopping, sawing and cutting difficult materials, and has a blunt tip that is approved for scraping, prying and twisting. ![]() The working blade is super strong as a result of its opposing bevel design and super strong 3V blade steel. The tactical drop point blade features S30V blade steel, and has superior edge retention for basic cutting, slicing, puncturing and even self-defense. Either blade can be conveniently and quickly opened and closed with one hand. When it comes to TEMS (Tactical Emergency Medical Support), these first responders need a single product that is easy to use and offers the flexibility to address a multitude of tactical, medical and hard use operational applications.īenchmade’s new OUTLAST is equipped with two primary blades that are controlled by Benchmade’s new, patent pending, Option™ Lock, without compromising lockup strength.
