The option I was considering to give a little more space (both for general comfort and because, having all been working from home for the last year, one person has just been called back into front-line nursing) was a network link to another room (think cable out the window.) so the mixer (or potentially even OBS control) could be done remotely. So, all that all being said, we've got a single, simple audio mix, and 4 camera options set to number-pad shortcuts, which makes that side of things very easy in that respect. :)Īs we don't have our own building, and our usual venue is not available to us, we're streaming from a small room a couple of people in front of camera plus one or two more (the second being an understudy) doing tech & support bits off-camera (pre-recorded music, slides etc.) There's a couple of fixed USB cameras plugged in, one of which is also cropped to give individual head shots. Yes, you're guessing correctly, although your subsequent assumptions aren't all 100%. Thanks for taking the time for your reply. If not, there are numerous options for capturing display output (so no PC h/w resource impact), and routing that over a network IF your OBS PC is powerful enough, you could use locally installed s/w. However, if the sound person (in other room) would benefit from viewing OBS computer display (not necessarily Projector output), there are a variety of ways of sending your OBS PC display(s) to other monitor(s). Sounds like the Behringer (which I've never worked with) has its own network port and remote control capability (in which case, no OBS related monitor/display required). Others actually have a dedicated computer/device for DAW (which one could remote control in a variety of methods) ![]() hopefully not much, but probably a little) For me, that means on my OBS computer, in addition to controlling OBS, PTZ camera(s), PowerPoint slides, soon I'll also see/control all of my sound panel's audio channels as well (so I can mute a mic, adjust individual mic settings as appropriate. others (and soon myself) will use a sound panels digital output, and the use DAW, OBS, or other audio s/w to create a custom mix and incorporate into stream Today, with no in-person attendance, our in-room speakers are turned off, and sound panel mix is strictly for streaming. some sound board allow a sub-mix, which can be tailored for streaming How to accomplish that alternate/streaming mix varies by sound panel, and connected tech then have a slightly different version of that for streaming I bring this up, as the typical scenario I've heard of is There are guides/tutorials, instructions on audio optimization techniques for streaming, as well as radio that might be helpful, if you don't have a sound person already on top of this. As such, what I've learned in last 10+ months (since I started livestreaming) was things like audio compressors, etc. Your audio mix for in-person, vs streamed, are often different (I haven't even advanced to being an audio neophyte, certainly no expert, but our auditory processing ability is different in-person, vs via terrible mobile device speakers (or even good stereo speakers which lack 3D spatial cues) hence need for unique audio mix. ![]() I'm guessing this is House of Worship, right? assuming yes (and in part, regardless) I take COVID-19 seriously, but unless a key person at really high risk, I'd be inclined to get a high quality air filter, double mask, and take the risk (maybe leave control room door open?). If DAW on separate PC, there are plenty of remote KVM solutions, that keyboard, mouse, and display be in different room from PC So be sure on your requirements whether you are talking a display, or wanting remote interactivity with what is on display IF you are thinking a remote touch screen, that is different (I'd assume doable, but not something I've ever dealt with) Is that DAW running on the OBS computer? most remote control programs provide access to the user profile/screen, not one app running within a group of other apps. ![]() well that is a completely different situation not any cable, but with right setup hundreds of feet is possible) This isn't my area, but taking an existing video output you already have, and sending to remote viewer has lots of options (including long HDMI cables. Understand about distance, but there is s/w that can take the USB signal and send it over Ethernet. I was thinking more in terms of content/display, and not re-encoding a new video stream

![]() So I got what I wanted but came out of the encounter feeling slightly screwed and very angry that I had to fight to get Adobe (and thus by extension Amazon - they did sell it to me after all) to honour their agreement. Anyway, to cut long story shorter, after 1.75 hours on a chat link to a (actually very helpful) Adobe guy they relented and somehow forced my redemption through. Unbelievable for a product that I had already paid over £500 for. Basically they were saying that if I did not give them my credit card details then they could not validate my purchase as they would not have a valid credit card (their words) to renew at the end of the year - precisely what I was trying to avoid in purchasing from Amazon. Got into trouble the moment I tried to redeem the purchase on the Adobe website. If I want to renew at the end of the year then I will choose to renew by myself. So, I purchased from Amazon (at a little additional cost) so that I would buy ONLY a one year subscription. Have you ever tried cancelling it? They make it incredibly arduous to the point of being almost impossible to cancel. I have experienced giving my credit card details to American IT companies before (Network Solutions in my case) and invoking an "auto renew" relationship. ![]() But, I was massively disappointed about the big brother bullying tactics employed by Adobe (although if you pushed me I would agree, not entirely Amazon's fault!).

We wanted to complain to the office when we checked out, as there is no one in the office all night, but the office did not open til 10:00am and we left at 9:00. Then at 5:30am, they were out there again leaving for work, and the same level of noise. The toilet needed flushing two to three times every time used, the blow dryer did not work, ( yes we tried the reset button numerous times.simply did not work ) there is no in room coffee, ( which you would expect at this price ) but even worse was the fact that a work crew was staying at the motel, and were out in the parking lot right next to our room between midnight and about 2 in the morning making so much noise talking loudly and going up and down the outside stairs, it was impossible to sleep. The mattresses were very old, uncomfortable and squeaked terribly every time we moved.very loud. However, the room itself was not in good shape at all. We initially thought it was a nice location, overlooking grass and a bit away from traffic. Very nice person, and we chatted for quite a while. ![]() When we checked in, Lisa at the office was great. We recently stayed at The Tidal Bore Inn in Truro Nova Scotia, and am sorry that I feel the need to write this review, but we had a terrible experience there. Will see how this all unfolds but would strongly recommend giving this place a very wide berth.… One of our friends had spoken with a man who was a long term resident at the motel and he told us the owner has a habit of charging guests bad faith charges for made up infractions. I spoke with the friend who booked the rooms later when we got home and said had he seen any unusual charges on his card because of the call, he said he had been charged $57.50 on his Visa, the charge had been posted the previous evening?!?! He wasn't sure what for so he has started an investigation. He snorted and said something along the lines of "yeah right" and hung up. I told him I saw no "globe" nor did I believe there had been one in the room when we checked in. I asked if he had the right room number to which he got more aggressive. I asked what he meant by "globe" and he explained there was a light fixture in the bathroom with a spherical glass cover and that it was missing. Around 4.30pm the same day I got a call from "Bill" again and he very rudely asked if I had had a problem with the globe in our room. The following morning we got up, showered and packed up to leave. We were all in bed and asleep before midnight. The show was over by 11.00pm and we found a cab back to our hotel. We left in a cab for the show around 3.30pm and had an excellent evening. ![]() We thought nothing of it since we are a respectful group who go to many events around the maritimes and have yet to cause any issues at all. We were told that any noise or smoking near the rooms after 10.00pm would result in an extra charge. Took a $200 "security deposit" from our friends card and rather resentfully gave us our room keys. ![]() When we checked in at 2.00pm Bill the owner, manager not sure which, seemed annoyed we were an hour early and read us the riot act.

Today, visitors can pet and feed the aquatic animals. Can a platypus be a pet?Īccording to its website, Healesville was the first sanctuary to breed platypus in captivity starting in the 1940s with the birth of a platypus named Connie. In a more straightforward naming convention, baby goats are called kids. What do you call a baby platypus?īaby platypuses (or would you rather call them platypi?) and echidnas are called puggles, although there’s a movement afoot to have baby platypuses called platypups. “Having platypuses at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park allows us to broaden the work of Australian zoos to raise awareness for the unique species they work so hard to protect. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is home to two platypuses-the only platypuses outside of Australia. Instead of a separate pouch where food collects, the platypus’ esophagus is directly connected to its intestine. How do platypus eat without a stomach?Ī platypus doesn’t really have a stomach. The female platypus lays her eggs in an underground burrow that she digs near the water’s edge. It has no teeth, so the platypus stores its “catch” in its cheek pouches, returns to the surface, mashes up its meal with the help of gravel bits hoovered up enroute, then swallows it all down. They are an amphibious mammal from Australia. They are also called a duckbill because of their bill, which looks like the one on a duck. What is a group of platypus called?ĭid you know? You’ll probably never find them in a group, but if you do, a group of platypuses is called a paddle. … Nets and traps intended for other animals also kill hundreds of platypuses each year. Platypuses are considered by the researchers to be apex predators, making them more susceptible to pollutants that have accumulated in the bodies of animals farther down the food chain. They were once hunted for their fur – pelts are both warm and waterproof. It’s likely that foxes, dingoes and wild dogs kill Platypuses that venture on land.

Wheel plugged in, I uninstalled the drivers from the Device Manager and checked (enabled) the option "Delete the driver software for this device" Had same Problem None of the above suggestion worked., my G27 was detected as "G27 wheel" in device and printer (windows 10), but the games and the Logitech Profiler software would only see "Logitech Driving Force". If u have a problem to see what it says, go onto google translate and find Norwegian to English :) So im sitting here helpless begging for the Steam Community's help. And i have tried contacting Logitech but they suck and have no fix for it either. I dont get it, because it has worked perfectly before but 2 weeks ago this happened and i have not been unabe to find a fix for it. I have checked the version for the Profiler and it is up to dateĪnd i have now had my G27 in three years now and have not encountered this problem before. Downloaded new drivers, but whenever i start the Profiler the drivers for the LDF gets installed anyways, its just replaces everything ![]() I have tried to uninstall the drivers completely and rebbooted my PC, and thiss the LDF drivers get installed. And that makes it unable to use the G27 in any game, and its really frustrating So the drivers for the G27 is not installed. And when i check the drivers it says logitech driving force. Works great, and I may buy a shifter, if it goes on sale.Whenever i run the logitech profiler it shows up as the Logitech driving force. So, for first time since 2015, I had to buy a new G29 and pedals. This October I had to move and movers lost my wheel and shifter and pedals. So, flaky product at times, so great support. Various support calls and they sent a replacement free G29 and shifter. I'm looking forward to getting back home and trying this out, and doing more Twitch/Youtube streams.Įdit - the new G29 lasted almost 2 years, then just died on me in fall of 2019. Harder to find while driving, but the Logitech s/w wasn't seeing the shifter buttons anymore anyway. I did like the way the G27 had buttons on the shifter, as they are now moved to the G29 wheel. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, as am away for Christmas, but I'm pretty excited. Support had several different things to try - including unplgging the wheel/controller between changes to ensure a 'clean' start - but it just seemed to get flakier.Įventually, they conclued it was the wheel, and have sent me s NEW G29 wheel, with pedals and shifter. Sometimes it would die after afew minutes. Basically, sometimes it would work, sometimes not at all. I had a lot of issues with my G27, after a Win10 update. Basically it allows your wheel to be fully detected in Logitech profiler. Mine shows up as G27 and I have a G27, but still have to go through the steps on the video to get it to work in windows 10. It doesn't matter what windows sees your wheel as. Works with SpinTires/Mud too, but is a little more stable for some reaon. And sometimes it stops working all together. Wheel steers, wheel buttons and pedals and shifter work, but only 270 (?) degrees on wheel and shifter buttons don't work. I have the update now, at their rcommendation, but didn't help.īest i can do is remove Logitech driver and use the included Win10 G27 driver.

Peter Georgiev, who runs residential building advice service Archicentre Australia, says, "There are architects who employ sensible approaches to cost planning and not all should be tarred with the same brush."Īmelia Lee from Undercover Architect advises finding an experienced architect who is mindful of budgets. In a busy market like now this can change daily." Builders price the work based on level of availability of their tradespeople. "The other factor often overlooked is the market. "There are numerous factors that impact on budgets: location, site access, materials and timeframe," she says. It's important to be aware that architects are not cost consultants, and clients should source estimates from building professionals such as builders and quantity surveyors to estimate the building costs before the development application.Ĭlare Cousins, president elect of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA), adds that budgets are not easily estimated. "In many cases, the architect wants to see a wonderful solution that will enhance his or her own reputation." We talked to a number of architects to find out why this happens and how people can avoid finding themselves with designs that are grander than their budgets.Ī retired Sydney architect we spoke to was candidly critical of some in the industry, saying, "There are architects who may not hold you back on the cost estimates because he or she believes they are secondary to the aspirations of both the client and the architect." Ingrid and William's costly experience is not uncommon – but it is avoidable. Beware the designer who disregards the budget Despite their early advice to go for the most in the development application, the new plans are substantially different and they need to submit a whole new application, with all the associated fees, and pay for new reports. Ingrid and William have had to abandon the approved plans, and have now sourced another architect to start all over again, with a much-reduced concept, smaller budget and smaller square meterage. ![]() ![]() "I don't deny that it's a great design, but it's not fit for purpose if we can't even stretch to what it costs to build." "In my work," she says, "if I get a brief and there's a dollar figure attached to it, it's easy to come up with a solution that is amazing but if it doesn't fit with the budget then it should be discounted straight away." Ingrid is a creative services professional. That's more than we paid for the house, and two-and-a-half times our original budget!" "We thought it had likely gone up to around $600,000 – but it came in at $850,000. When it was put out to tender, three builders submitted quotes. All up, Ingrid says they've paid out over $50,000 for the designs, various reports, fees and development approval. But that's not what we got."Īfter 12 months of negotiations and changes, their plans were finally approved by the council. Everyone kept saying you should expect at least 25% more than what your budget is. Even though we'd clearly named our budget, we knew we'd have scope creep, even up to $100,000. "We were advised to go for the most that we could in the development application, and then pare it back once the approval had been secured. What unfolded from there serves as a lesson to anyone about to embark on a dream renovation or new build. As they both work, they chose one that offered the best price for seeing the whole job through to the end of the build, but with the architect's fees paid upfront. Ingrid and William (not their real names) met with a number of architects in preparation for a $300,000 renovation of their Sydney home, even putting together a spreadsheet on the architects' fee structures to find the right one. Sitting at her dining table, Ingrid flicks through the thick A3 wad of well-thumbed house plans that she and her husband paid the architect $28,000 for. "We were sold a dream, and we paid for that dream," says Ingrid. $28,000 in architect's fees for a design they can't afford Five steps to house plans you can afford to build.The obligations of the architect to the budget.Beware the designer who disregards the budget.$28,000 in architect's fees for a design they can't afford.You've decided to renovate or build a new house, but heard horror stories of escalating costs and budget blow outs? Here's our advice for keeping the budget under control when working with your architect. ![]() “You spend all this money, but you still have an uncertain result long term.” “As far as remedial work goes, this is just a mess,” said veteran geotechnical engineer Bob Pyke, a long time skeptic of the $100 million plan to fix the troubled tower. Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. And, the tower is being looked at now as a case study of geotechnical engineering that will likely be studied in schools for years to come - because, as YouTuber Grady Hillhouse explains, "Our ability to predict how soils will behave under new and extreme conditions isn't perfect, especially when those soils are far below the surface."Īt least one engineering expert consulted by NBC Bay Area, Harry Poulos, remains skeptical that the building's issues will ever be fully solved, and he says, "I don't think there's any cause for optimism here.Get a weekly recap of the latest San Francisco Bay Area housing news. This explainer video from 2021 does a good job of describing how and why the building the was constructed the way it was, and how the fix will work. ![]() While the fix, once complete, won't immediately solve the building's significant tilt, it will stop it from sinking further - and the hope is that the other corner of the building will eventually settle and even things out a bit. At that point, the building had sunk 18 inches since its 2009/2010 construction. Building residents also received payouts in a 2019 legal settlement with the developer and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority - and the Chronicle reported last year that unit sales don't seem to have been too deeply impacted, though it's probably impossible to conclude whether values have been depressed.Īfter work began in mid-2021 on the $100 million fix to shore up the building's foundation, engineers halted the project after a few months after the building sank an additional inch and was tilting an extra five inches on that northwest corner, just since the construction and excavation work began. ![]() Most stages of the process to address the tilting and sinking of the tower have been well publicized, and the building continued to unevenly "settle" or sink more in the intervening years. A subsequent legal fight occurred about whether the process to build the Transbay Transit Center next door, in which a significant amount of water was drained out of the ground, contributed to the sinking. Subsequent revelations would reveal that the building had sunk into the Bay mud beneath it, under its own considerable weight, in part because of a decision not to drill piles all the way to bedrock.īeing one of the first buildings of its height in the neighborhood, that was the engineers' prerogative at the time - and it was code-compliant at the city level. It was six and a half years ago, in August 2016, when this tale of engineering woe began, after residents had been complaining of units not being level and an independent consultant concluded the building had tilted two inches to the northwest since it was constructed. NBC Bay Area notes that about a third of that tilt, around 10 inches, has happened since 2021 when the initial fix got underway. The building now leans 29 inches to the northwest, in the direction of the Mission/Fremont corner, and the next phase of the fix on the Fremont frontage is now beginning. An earlier proposed fix with 52 total piles. ![]() "The purpose of this first stage of loading is to stabilize the building during the remaining construction, including the excavation along Fremont street to tie in the 12 piles already installed last year to bedrock," Hamburger writes in his email to residents, per NBC. And as NBC Bay Area reports, via an update to tower residents from lead engineer Ron Hamburger, this should significantly stop, or maybe fully stop, the sinking that had been accelerated by the initial retrofit process with the piles. Part of the planned fix for the Millennium Tower's well known tilt-and-sink problem, involving six support piles that extend from the building's foundation down to bedrock on the Mission Street side of the tower, is now complete. The long saga of SF's sinking and leaning Millennium Tower may soon come to a happy end, with the building still mostly upright and residents able to feel more secure. |
