![]() The most common trigger for the disappearing library problem is when you either have a system crash, a power outage, or you accidentally disconnect the external drive without ejecting (i.e. (for the rest of this explanation, substitute the name of your own hard drive for "External") So for example, if your hard drive is named "External", OS X will mount your hard drive at /Volumes/External, and all the hard drive's contents will appear as subfolders underneath that. There is actually an invisible folder named "Volumes" at the root level of your main hard drive, and when you attach an external hard drive to the machine, OS X puts the contents of that hard drive inside the Volumes folder. ![]() makes it ready for use) in a particular location on the system. When you attach an external hard drive, OS X "mounts" the drive (i.e. you open up the library iPhoto and it contains no photos or albums), there is one particular cause that accounts for a large number of these cases. If you have another backup system, you will have to search it for the iPhoto library, but be sure to include system files in the search.If you have an iPhoto library that you are keeping on an external hard drive, and that library suddenly has all its content "disappear" (i.e. Then invoke Time Machine and restore the working backup. Right-click the iPhoto library and view package contents. Instead of restoring the whole library package, you can try restoring just the "library6.iphoto" file within the package. If you use Time Machine, follow the steps above to search for the iPhoto library on your drive, and then, in the Finder, use Time Machine to restore a backup of the library. To restore this you will need to have a working backup. This is a file called either "library6.iphoto" or "library.iphoto" that resides within the "iPhoto Library" package file, and is the catalog for all the photos in the library package. Use Time Machine or other backup in the Finder to replace "corrupt" libraries If your iPhoto library is in a known location and you have tried the first fix to restore it's functionality, it could be that the library itself is corrupted. Open iPhoto with the options key held, and select the iPhoto library from the location you found.Finally search for "iPhoto Library" and note it's location.With the filter selected, in the second menu select "include".If "System Files" is not available, then go to "Other" and search for that filter to add to the list. In the filters, click the "Kind" menu and select the "System files" option.Ensure "This Mac" is selected, and that you are searching for "File Name".In the Finder press the "command-F" keys to open the search window.Locate the iphoto library and restore it for "missing" libraries: Therefore, a special search must be done to locate the library and point iPhoto to it.Īdditionally, even if the library can be located, corruption may prevent Time Machine from working properly from within iPhoto, resulting in the same "empty library" behavior in iPhoto. While it should be easy to search for the iphoto library, it appears that the system treats the library as a system file, and therefore does not include it in Spotlight and Finder searches by default. This might happen if users have intentionally placed their photos in other locations than the default "Pictures" folder, and then upgraded iPhoto or installed other updates which may have broken the link between iPhoto and the library. This is because for Time Machine loses track of the library's location.įor various reasons, users may have misplaced their iPhoto libraries on their drives. If this problem occurs, the result is not only an empty library, but also an inability access backups from Time Machine from within iPhoto. Users may experience an issue with iPhoto in which the library will not load, and the application shows an empty window.

![]() I took a closer look at my travel gadget-bag. What kind of person carries a travel gadget-bag with so much in it that he misplaces two gadgets, and doesn’t even notice he has misplaced them? So that’s how this question popped up in my mind. Fortunately, the rainy season hasn’t begun in India but I still had to make a 45-minute drive the next evening to retrieve my stuff.ĭriving is thinking the time for me as my brain is relatively free of the distraction of my usual multitasking. I recalled leaving it outdoors in order to pick up the faint cellular signal in the hills. On reaching home, I found my travel gadget-bag was missing two gadgets: a power bank and the portable hotspot to which I had connected it. Last weekend, I was staying over at a friend’s farm in the hills when something came up, and I had to rush back. So what led to my enlightenment? How many gadgets is too many gadgets? In short, every other day, I’m contributing to the world’s mounting e-waste problem. This morning, it was four rechargeable AA batteries that had died. That’s two handsets and a bunch of telephone cables headed for the bin, and that’s not counting the two long looping cables dangling off the roof that lead to the telephone pole on the road. A week before, I disconnected my mother’s old landline. ![]() The day before, it was an old set-top box that became obsolete when the TV signal went digital. Probably joined the huge pile of e-waste generated by yours truly. Come to think of it, I’ve no idea where that player disappeared. The last time I owned a DVD player was nearly eight years ago. Just yesterday, I packed up a bunch of old DVDs to throw away as everything is available online these days. Seems that’s like throwing out 800 laptops every single second. We are currently generating 40,000,000 tons of e-waste, every year. My other reason for delaying the upgrade is another snippet of news that I came across on the net. However, people rarely do things because of a single reason. Despite being a gadget-lover, I delayed upgrading because of the tear-inducing prices of iPhones in India. I can relate to that as my iPhone 6S+ is now into its fourth year. Falling iPhone sales may be bad for Apple, but keeping old iPhones going is good for Earth (photo©babulous)Ī few days ago, I saw a news article that said iPhone users now wait four years to upgrade their devices.

In between those “you are there” sequences, Russell fills in some of the details of his subject’s life, from his start as a pioneer of antivirus software to his end as a radical libertarian, surrounded by drugs, guns and chaos. Years later, McAfee invited King to film him as he fled again, on a boat to the Caribbean. And while McAfee was on the lam - as one of the most famous criminals in the world - multiple reporters started following him, chasing a strange story barreling toward a dark end.Ī lot of Charlie Russell’s documentary “Running With the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee” is drawn from footage shot by video journalist Robert King, who was on assignment with Vice reporter Rocco Castoro when McAfee snuck across the border from Belize to Guatemala. That’s how he ended up a fugitive from multiple countries, wanted for everything from tax fraud to murder. The late tech entrepreneur John McAfee was one of those mega-wealthy folks convinced he knew best how the world should work - and that unless the people in charge let him run things, he was under no obligation to follow their rules. ‘Running With the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee’ For most of its running time, though, this is a well-crafted and surprisingly thoughtful take on heroes and antiheroes, illustrating the problems that ensue whenever ordinary citizens pin their hopes on the powerful rather than trying to solve problems themselves. It’s hard to make scenes of super-strong people punching each other in crumbling buildings look striking or new and so inevitably, “Samaritan” becomes way too generic down the stretch. Paradoxically, the movie gets less exciting once its action sequences ramp up - after a third-act twist that anybody who’s ever read a comic should anticipate. The premise of “Samaritan” is the stuff of cartoons, but the actors makes the stakes feel real. Both Stallone and the assured young actor Walton give fine, nuanced performances - as does Asbaek. Schut do their best work in the film’s first hour, where they establish the bleakness of their setting and capture the spark of optimism in Sam after he meets Joe. Javon Walton plays Joe’s young neighbor Sam, a Samaritan fanboy who becomes convinced Joe is secretly his dead hero - and if so, he can help free Granite City from a charismatic crimelord and Nemesis disciple named Cyrus (Pilou Asbaek).ĭirector Julius Avery and screenwriter Bragi F. Sylvester Stallone plays Joe Smith, a garbageman in Granite City, a blighted, crime-ridden metropolis still reeling from the loss of its champion, Samaritan, in a battle to the death with his villainous brother, Nemesis. Still, taken on its own terms, “Samaritan” remains a solidly entertaining riff on classic comic-book themes, with a blockbuster polish and an indie-film spirit. The pandemic-delayed grim-and-gritty superhero thriller “Samaritan” originally was scheduled for release in 2020 in the years since, TV series like “The Boys” and “Invincible” have stolen some of the movie’s thunder by doing their own deconstructing and reconstructing of caped-crusader mythology. Zotz are vegan but they contain artificial colors which some vegans are heavily against due to animal testing.įortunately, If I’m correct, animal testing is no longer conducted for that purpose, so animals are no longer suffering. READ NEXT: Are Atomic Fireballs Vegan? Here Is What You Should Know In Conclusion In any case, Zotz is the only fizzy candies I know for sure are vegan. The list could be longer, but I’m not sure if some are still commercially available. Here’s a list of brands you can look at (in case you find Zotz in your nearest supermarket): ![]() Some dissolve and disappear, and others pop and are gum-like. But I believe the list of candies that explode in your mouth is still considerable. You can find candies with similar flavors, but I don’t know if the sensations are the same. READ NEXT: Are Pixy Stix Suitable For Vegans? Are There Any Alternatives to Zotz? Of course, if you wanna be a bit crazy and order LOTS of Zotz, you’re free to do so. So it’s only a good idea to order Zotz if you’re ordering something else at the same time. Let me remind you however that Amazon only allows free shipping for people who order $25 or more. Although for the Zotz, the + 600 reviews are pretty much positive, so you don’t have much to worry about. One interesting aspect of getting Zotz through Amazon is that you don’t have to leave your house.īut note that buying “food” from Amazon means you might not get it fresh. The most hands-off way of getting Zotz is by buying it in bulk through Amazon, which makes it potentially less expensive. I believe you can find Zotz in most supermarkets (and new franchises). READ NEXT: Are Sour Punch Straws Vegan? Here Is What You Should Know Where Can I Find Zotz Candies? In any case, I believe this is one of those cases where I can still consider a product vegan. Unfortunately, the Zotz website doesn’t disclose information specific to each flavor, so I don’t know for sure if they use carmine. This artificial color is used in foods (like candies), and many other industries such as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. But let’s also not forget that some colors ARE NOT VEGAN.Ĭarmine is a pigment of a bright-red color that is produced by using the scales of bugs. As a result, many are against artificial colors. However, some vegans can’t conform to that idea and feel like artificial colors are rooted in evil. Still, it was a long process that involved the death (and suffering) of many animals until the winning formula was found. READ NEXT: Are Sour Patch Kids Vegan? (Here’s Why They’re Not) Why Are Some Vegans Against Artificial Colors?Īt some point, artificial colors used to be tested on animals.įrom what I understood, artificial colors are not tested regularly, but they were perfected through animal testing. ![]() However, it may be different if you’re against artificial colors. Looking at the Ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Malic Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, Tartaric Acid, Artificial Flavors, Artificial Colors, Maltose Carbonate. All have the same ingredient structure, but the artificial flavors and colorants change depending on the flavor. Zotz flavors include cherry, blue raspberry, grape, apple, watermelon, & orange. Here’s an interesting video on how Zotz Candies are made: Naturally, it all comes down to personal taste, but something appears to have changed over time. I’m not sure if the recipe has changed, but recent reviews suggest the original product took longer to dissolve, which was more satisfying and made the Zotz unique. On the first bite, the mixture dissolves and a fizzing sensation takes over your taste buds. Zotz contains a mixture of malic and tartaric acid combined with sodium bicarbonate. Introducing: Zotz Candies Photo by Willis Lam, Zotz Fizzpower Candy Family, CC BY-SA 2.0 via Flickr. This is a technically vegan product, but just like any other product, it might have entry barriers for some people. Zotz has a mild sour flavor after you get through the initial explosive fizzing. Not the most popular product, but it’s one of those marbles that you won’t buy unless you can taste first. ![]() This being said, if you check the new franchise around the corner, you’re bound to find a lot of non-mainstream products that are vegan. Naturally, instead of heading off to the grocery store, you might as well ask uncle Google instead. In some cases, you immediately know, but for the most part, you have to check the product label. One of the first things brand-new vegans do is quickly find out whether their favorite foods are vegan. ![]() Download the apk file of the application you need (for example: Ao Oni2) and save to your phone 3.

He has provided us with video of the results of many of his efforts, which is available as a special in the subscriber area. It is used for verification, not communication. Radio is not the foundation of his relationship with them, but is the way he contacts them. In that vein, this week Whitley welcomes radio expert Jimmy Blanchette to discuss and demonstrate radio-based methods he has used to engage in contact with these unknown presences. What we are going to do here on UC is to continue to follow along with the visitors, who seem to be opening the door to contact more and more. So where does that leave people who are in contact with the visitors? Will they continue to be ignored, or perhaps discredited, or will they begin to be more accepted as what they are: normal human beings who have had contact of some kind that does not fit the normal paradigm and is often associated with the same sort of objects that the government calls UAPS? It looks like they’re going to continue to say that they don’t know what they are. The public is about to be told that the US military has recorded far more UAP sightings, as they now call them, than has previously been admitted. ![]() In the meantime, journalists and bloggers from multiple websites have already put out “first look” posts and videos letting us know what we should generally expect when we load this application up for the first time. However, I am very excited to get my hands on it, so thankfully there will also be a public beta released very soon. Unfortunately, I’m not a developer, so I don’t have access to the software yet. In addition, the OfotoNow software, a potential iPhoto rival, isn't available for Macintosh and has a much steeper learning curve than iPhoto does.It’s now February of 2015, and the first version of Photos has been released into the wild as a “developers beta” for a select group to try out. If you choose, you can order photos directly from Ofoto's Web site, but iPhoto's process is faster and easier to use. iPhoto orders prints from Kodak's Ofoto service. There's a reason why your photos turn out looking so professional. (The cost is $30 for the first 10 pages, then $3 per page.) The resulting photos boast a print quality worthy of a glossy color magazine. For higher quality, iPhoto lets you opt to print your pics on acid-free glossy paper using a four-color offset process. You can choose one of four jacket colors (black, gray, navy, burgundy), six preset book layouts, and the number of photos you want on each page. We also ordered iPhoto's customizable, hardbound coffee-table photo book. iPhoto returned print-shop-quality photographs with accurate color and tone. We ordered 4圆 and 8x10 prints of photos taken with the 640x480 Apple QuickTake and 4-megapixel Canon PowerShot S40 cameras. Prices are reasonable (49 cents per 4圆-inch print), and your pics look far better than you'd get from any home inkjet printer. Or, to view your photos the old-fashioned way, order prints right from iPhoto. To share your digital pics with friends and family, simply upload the pics to Apple's free online photo album service. Thanks to OS X's Quartz graphics, iPhoto matches the colors that appear on your camera, display, and printer with one another, so you don't need to worry that your prints will look different from your onscreen images. When you're ready to print your pics, iPhoto has the goods. ![]() iPhoto could use a few more options, such as brightness and contrast adjustments. Although editing with iPhoto is easy, its tools do limited tasks: crop, rotate, remove red-eye, and convert to black and white. You can view them by Roll, by titles you create, or by preset keywords you assign.īut if you'd like to edit images before you print them, you're pretty much out of luck. When you need to find a particular photo, you won't have any trouble. For example, just click the Photo Library icon to view all of your thumbnails at once or select individual photos and drop them into Albums (equivalent to iTunes' Playlists). If you've ever worked with Apple iTunes (an MP3 player, organizer, and CD burner), you'll feel right at home in iPhoto because its interface looks strikingly similar. (Deleting the files from within iPhoto fixed the problem.) Unfortunately, iPhoto doesn't support PICT files but lets you import them anyway. As expected, in CNET's tests, iPhoto crashed often after importing PICT images. ![]() IPhoto lets you import JPEG and TIFF files and also supports low-resolution files from the old Apple QuickTake camera (after converting them to TIFF) and high-resolution, scanned TIFF images. Photo pros won't get much from its limited editing tools, but if you just want a simple way to gather up and display tons of pictures, iPhoto's got your number. It also lets you add pics to a Web page, uploads the page to the Internet, and helps you order prints online. Thisįree download, built exclusively for Mac OS X, imports, stores, and displays your photos in an elegant interface. If you own a Mac and a passel of unorganized digital photos, Apple iPhoto is just the ticket. In May, Apple released a free update to iPhoto, version 1.1.1, that lets you send photos using the OS X Mail application, create desktop backgrounds using your own photos, search the photo library, and touch up photos by adjusting brightness and contrast. Products like AirMessage and weMessage can bridge the iMessage service to other devices like Android smartphones and desktop computers.īest of all: These are both free and open-source software (FOSS) offerings. Use A Bridging Or Mirroring Serviceĭepending on your needs, you may simply want remote control over a WiFi connection to send and receive text messages. The best private messengers are Session and Briar. Instagram Direct Messenger (also owned by Facebook)įor a more secure, less data mined messenger, look at Telegram or Signal.These apps are easy to use, compatible with most mobile devices, and downloaded through the major app stores. The best way to send texts over your WiFi network is to stop using the 1990s technology in favor of a messaging app that has become increasingly popular. The tech giant built the service with the idea of using a strong internet connection to carry calls and texts. Your text and phone calls may automatically be switched to your WiFi connection for Google Fi subscribers. All you have to do is sign up and create a user account. The application gives a virtual phone number that you can use in the United States to send messages and make calls. You can also send messages to the US, Canada, and more than 40 other countries globally. The main notable feature of this app is that you can text a person who doesn’t have this specific application on their phone. Users will need to have topped up their Skype Credits to send WiFi messages that show up as standard text messages for the recipient. Terminating or connecting the text to a cellular telephone network is not free. It allows paid subscribers to send a standard text message over a WiFi data connection. Yes, the service from 2003 is still around. In that case, they will typically carry a text from their mobile phone app over WiFi and terminate it to the standard cellular network. Suppose they issue subscribers with a phone number. You can identify this type of service provider by looking at their product and service offerings. Look for a messaging service that connects to the standard POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Maybe it’s the general lack of concern for privacy, security, inconvenience, or cost-efficiency. For some reason, US smartphone users are stalwarts. The rest of the world has ditched ancient (in technology terms) SMS and MMS systems from the ’90s in favor of instant messenger services. Use A Service That Gives You A Phone Number Personally, I prefer the #2 method below. The best way to choose depends on your needs. So if there’s really no way to send a standard text message directly over WiFi, what are your options? Using a trusted messenger app is the more effective way to send and receive messages over WiFi. A third-party app bridging text messages over WiFi and onto a mobile carrier network is needed. Sending SMS and MMS texts over WiFi is generally not possible using a smartphone’s default messaging app. Let’s explore how WiFi messaging works and why you should consider it. Using a secure messenger to send texts over WiFi increases your privacy by taking your conversations off your mobile network, which has full access to and logs the messages and media you send. Users should switch to a secure messaging app or a messaging service provider for direct and group chat over WiFi. ![]() Sending a text directly from your phone over WiFi is not possible. SMS messages over WiFi is possible by using a third-party service that connects to the traditional cellular network. But, can you send text messages over WiFi? A lot of people no longer rely on this type of message because it’s old, redundant, and largely insecure. However, the dependence on SMS and MMS has reduced considerably over the years. Even today, it is still used widely as it is available on every mobile device and carrier. Millions used SMS when it was first introduced in 1992. |
