There might be a niche market for old people who don't want or need streaming media sticks in their lives, but in my experience (having bought digital photo frames for elderly relatives several times) all that happens is they ignore it (just like people ignore framed photos 99% of the time), and then absent-mindedly unplug it or let it run out of batteries and then it's just a blank screen cluttering up the mantlepiece. only to stick it in a tiny, hard-to-see, single-use device that's easily lost on a mantlepiece or tucked away on an end-table, when you could take a device like the chromecast, roku, etc that does exactly the same job, also supports online streaming and wifi automatically (simply by virtue of what it is) and displays the result on the largest screen in your house, in full colour and high resolution, that dominates the living room and can be seen from almost any angle and anywhere in the room?ĭigital photo frames were what people thought would be huge before streaming sticks took off and they realised how easy it was to get your family photos onto a screen a hundred times better, without any additional cost, and on a device that could also do approximately a million other useful things. Control electronics to load and display images.SD card reader (let alone wifi card and some sort of remote admin interface to set it up) and.Anyone else dig this idea? And who at Kodak/Pandigital/Olympus (or whoever the fuck makes digital photoframes) needs to see/hear this?ĭigital photo frames didn't fail because it as a PITA to get pictures into them - they failed because they were only ever a random evolutionary dead-end. Not sure if the cast protocol works this way where the only "apps" that can cast are Google Home for setup and Photo Backdrop, but I would buy this product day one if they could/did. Hell, take it to the next level and put solar cells in the bezel so the damn thing can be hung anywhere in the house where it'd be exposed to daylight and the power-source conundrum is solved as well. It's time for a manufacturer out there to step it up and release a digital photo frame with Google Cast support with the limitation of being a backdrop display only. The Chromecast's backdrop option has been teasing me with the very feature-set that I've been wanting in a digital photo-frame: seamless flexibility in managing what images display on the frame and quick (almost instant) access to pics taken on your phone. Let's face it-digital photo frames were supposed to take our home decor to Hogwartz-level of dynamic and awesome, but ended up sucking because it's a pain in the ass to update pictures on them.

Kindergarten Cop isn’t unique in mixing badasses and kids, then, nor action and comedy (even the otherwise appallingly saccharine Three Men and a Baby, from three years earlier, inexplicably climaxes with a face-off with heroin dealers atop an abandoned construction site). It is (usually) funny to see large, strong men who spend their time beating bad guys half-to-death at the mercy of small children. Nanny (in which wrestler Hulk Hogan is a wrestler-turned-babysitter) to 2005’s The Pacifier (starring Vin Diesel as a Navy SEAL who goes undercover as a babysitter) to this year’s My Spy (where Dave Bautista plays a CIA agent who becomes a reluctant mentor to a 9-year-old), and there are many, many more such movies. More importantly, the film’s core premise - the juxtaposition of a big tough action hero like Schwarzenegger with a bunch of cute kids - is such an undeniably great premise that movies have been using the same formula since its premiere, from 1993’s Mr. I laughed out loud when, after Arnold’s character admits he’s from Austria (which I don’t ever remember happening in a single other Schwarzenegger flick) earlier in the film, his partner (Pamela Reed) has to pretend to be his sister and suddenly busts out her own Austrian accent to maintain their cover. The scene where a frazzled Schwarzenegger is trying to convince his precocious students that his headache is “NOT A TOOMAH!” is still a comedic gem. The problem is, though, there’s still stuff to laugh at! Even 30 years later, it’s genuinely funny to see small children run roughshod over the Austrian Oak, as is seeing the action star in a cartoon cowboy outfit singing “Old MacDonald” to his students. There’s a lot more to cringe over than laugh at. When Kimble learns a student and his mother are being abused by the father, the teacher beats the crap out of him instead of calling the authorities (although when it happens again, Kimble does declare he’s “pressing charges”). There’s a lot of “kids say the darndest things” gags in here, including one adorable ragamuffin who chants “boys have a penis, girls have a vagina” like a mantra, and a girl who, when asked what her dad does for a living, replies, “My dad repairs cars for women who are pinheads,” the clear idea being that’s what’s she’s learned at home. The mom is, of course, purely relieved, the unspoken but obvious implication being, at least he’s not gay. When a mom comes to school upset that her son is playing with dolls, Kimble assures her the kid’s doing so because he’s obsessed with looking up girl’s skirts, which we see on multiple occasions. To call Kindergarten Cop problematic is a woeful understatement. But when Kimble’s partner gets sick with a stomach bug, the badass cop has to pretend to be the new kindergarten teacher in hopes of figuring out which is Crisp’s kid, so he can convince the mom to testify against her ex, and here’s where the comedy comes in: The man we saw using a shotgun instead of a warrant is now completely overpowered by a bunch of hyperactive 5- and 6-year-olds. Kimble and his partner head to Oregon to find Crisp’s ex-wife, who’s in hiding with their child all they know is the kid is in the local elementary school. Kimble is so hard-boiled he handcuffs a woman dependent on drugs to her boyfriend (whom Crisp had just murdered) so he can force her to be a material witness, which would be disturbingly hardcore even in a straight-up police procedural. The movie starts with Schwarzenegger as John Kimble, who’s obsessed with catching Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson), a drug kingpin he’s been unable to bust for five years. But Kindergarten Cop goes far, far beyond that. The idea of a comedy movie - a rather family-friendly comedy, at that - ending with a shootout in a school and a child held hostage by his own father is unthinkable in 2020, and deservedly so. These days, though, the movie is a lot more complicated. Audiences loved the silliness of Schwarzenegger - doing his best Dirty Harry impression - getting flustered by a bunch of rambunctious five- and six-year-olds. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a police detective who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, the movie was a solid hit when it came out in 1990, more than tripling its $26 million budget. Kindergarten Cop is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, although “celebrating” might be the wrong word. Now, imagine this movie is also a family comedy. Worst of all, this man’s mere presence lures a sociopath to the school, culminating in a child being taken hostage and a bloody shoot-out in the gym shower room. He runs the class like boot camp, with all its rigorous physical training. He’s pretending to be a teacher and he screams violently at his young students whenever he thinks they’re out of line. Imagine a movie about an adult man bringing guns to an elementary school. While Seth keeps his depraved brother from pawing Fuller's teenage daughter (Juliette Lewis), the group heads across the border for a rendezvous with a certain "Carlos" at a strip joint whose name should go unmentioned in a family newspaper. The fugitives, who want to escape to Mexico with their stolen money, commandeer a mobile home with new hostages: Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel), a preacher who has recently lost his faith, and his two children. And that's just the beginning of the movie. When paranoid brother Richard thinks the storekeeper is signaling the Ranger, the scene ends in a bloodbath and conflagration. While the Ranger chats casually with the petrified storekeeper, the criminals hold two hostages at gunpoint in the back. But the movie, which features two killers on the lam, a family held hostage and a Mexican bar full of vampires and varmints, is gratuitously nasty, even for the likes of Tarantino.Īrmed robbers Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his softspoken, psychotic brother Richard (Tarantino) find themselves cornered in a convenience store when an unsuspecting Texas Ranger wanders in. It's often witty, in a grotesque kind of way and, by its own peculiar standards, it's occasionally inventive. "From Dusk Till Dawn," a grisly, quasi-comedy directed by Robert Rodriguez (who made "El Mariachi" and "Desperado"), has a propulsive, pseudo-hip metabolism. And unfortunately, Quentin Tarantino is what we deserve. But after watching "From Dusk Till Dawn," which Tarantino scripted and appears in, that thought has become unmistakably clear: Quentin Tarantino is the antichrist. George Clooney Harvey Keitel Quentin Tarantino Juliette Lewis Salma Hayek Ernest Liu Fred Williamson Cheech MarinĪ very troubling yet indistinct thought has been rising to the top of my cluttered brain with each Quentin Tarantino movie. The gunmen and family are about to experience the most horrifying nightmare of their lives, one full of violent vampires and relentless bats. The fugitives, who want to escape to Mexico with their stolen money, commandeer a mobile home with new hostages: Jacob Fuller, a preacher who has recently lost his faith, and his two children. Armed robbers Seth Gecko and his softspoken, psychotic brother Richard find themselves cornered in a convenience store when an unsuspecting Texas Ranger wanders in. "That's not fair, because that means that white people get an advantage that they didn't earn, and Black people get a disadvantage that they don't deserve. "And they don't make those assumptions about white people, like me," the white doll says. As the conversation continues, Barbie demonstrates how white people can listen and understand.

There have been speculations recently whether Johal and Anthony Joshua are acquaintances. Since then, Taylor who is a fashion student has been spotted around Mahrez at public events such as public nightclubs. It was reported that she refused to be intimate with him until he had completed his divorce proceedings. Taylor is said to be related to Mahrez’s teammate Sergio Aguero.

However, the time frame is highly speculative at this point.Īnd Mac Pro? Rumors suggest they'll be one final Intel-based model released before Apple silicon finds its way to the company's most expensive desktop. Looking ahead, in 2022, the 27-inch iMac is expected to get an Apple silicon replacement. Additionally, an all- new 14-inch model with Apple silicon could arrive to replace the final Intel-based 13-inch MacBook Pro. These have joined existing Intel-based Macs, including an older Mac mini, 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019), 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020), 27-inch iMac (2020), and Mac Pro.Īpple's expected to replace the 16-inch MacBook Pro later this year with an Apple silicon version. Where things standĢ4-inch iMac in blue (Image credit: Luke Filipowicz / iMore)Īs a reminder, there are currently four M1-based products on the market: the recently released 24-inch iMac (2021), Mac mini (2020), 13-inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2020), and MacBook Air (M1, 2020). If true, that would be a huge development, and Apple would deserve major kudos for marching down that path. However, it now appears that moment in time will feel no different than the normal process of technology products becoming outdated. The time will quickly come when a combination of events will make it unwise to continue using an Intel-based Mac. From staggering its release of Apple silicon machines over a two-year period (while also releasing a few new Intel-based products) to the support change for Live Text, Apple is showing a lot of respect for its Intel Mac customers. Whether because of technical limitations or more awareness for its customers, or a combination of both, Apple seems to be taking a different path in moving away from Intel. The newest Mac transition feels different and much more positive and customer focused. Though Apple continued to support those final PowerPC Macs throughout their lifecycle, it was clear as soon as the first Intel-based Mac arrived, that's where the company would build its future and the hell with legacy customers. When Cupertino revealed its plans for Apple silicon in mid-2020, I thought back to that 2005 iMac and the feeling many PowerPC customers felt at the time. Regardless of the reason, it's nice to see at least one of those Apple silicon exclusives have apparently gone away. All the stats are stored on your account and you can view them in the dashboard.

Bend down so that you are level with the running copter. Put on your safety goggles, and make sure your partner (if you have one) is wearing goggles as well. Next, turn your helicopter on, just so that it gets an inch or two of lift.In order to adjust this so that the blades have even angles, you should first mark each rotor blade's tip with a different colored piece of tape. If the angles of each blade are off from another, one blade will lift higher and cause your helicopter to crash. Most helicopters will hover between 4.5 and 5.5 degrees of positive pitch. Each of your rotor blades sits at an angle. Small changes in the amount of fuel can drastically change the center of gravity.Īdjust the tracking of your blades. If you are using a gas powered helicopter, it is even more important to consistently check the CG.This could mean removing it with a screwdriver, or a pair of pliers, depending on how your battery pack is attached. If your CG is off, you will need to remove and position the battery pack in a more equidistant position.If it begins to tilt backwards or forwards permanently, the CG is off. The helicopter will begin to pivot back and forth. Another method to use is to hold your helicopter by the fly bar (if equipped with one).A perfect CG is when the body of the helicopter sits perfectly perpendicular to that of the rotor blades. If the CG is bottom heavy, the nose will rotate upwards. If the CG is top heavy, the tail boom will rotate upwards. Tile the blades so that one is pointing straight down, while the other is pointing straight up. Hold the helicopter by the middle of the rotor blades. (Click a video a second time to view it larger in a new window.Check the center of gravity (CG). You can get the whole thing zipping around through the air pretty fast and do spins, panicked falls with recovery, backwards flight, and "j-turns." It can be pretty fun, without being scary. While the Hawk 4 can fly very smoothly, it can also pick up some speed, and the maximum turning rate is not at all sluggish. If you get going too fast, you can easily just reverse to stop pretty quickly, or again, you can just let go of the right stick, and the heli will level itself out and stop. Forward/reverse motion is a little smoother around the edges, but very confidence-inspiring. When you tell the heli to turn, it begins to turn immediately, but without a sudden jerking motion, and when you let go of the right controller stick, it stops its turn and holds its direction exactly where you left it. The gyro system works perfectly and is very smooth. It can come about as close to hovering in one spot in the air as you can ask of a $35 toy. What do you know, the Fast Lane Hawk 4 flies like it's well-built. This doesn't affect anything performance-wise of course, it's just a little frustrating. Depending upon how the wire got folded up inside, it can be hard to get the plug out and/or hard to shut the door when you put it back in. My ownly grievance with the charging system is that the sliding door on the controller that houses the charging jack has the most unfriendly design I've ever encountered for such a thing. It'll take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to fully charge a completely drained battery, but the heli comes out of the box already halfway charged, so you'll be in the air much sooner than that. Because of its small size, it's paired with a controller that doubles as a charger for the heli. There's nothing new about its design, following a now well-known formula for 3-channel (up/down, right/left, forward/back) helicopter design. It looked well-built, and after I unboxed it at home, it felt well-built as well. Second, much of its construction is metal, from the side frames to the tail boom. First, it is advertised as having gyroscopic stabilization, an electronic assist to help you keep the craft under control. However, a couple of things about the Hawk 4 gave me a lot of hope when I first saw it on the shelf at Toys R Us. Honestly speaking, Fast Lane has had a lot more misses than hits in their RC aircraft product line.

Maybe my parents taught me poor coping strategies. I did, however, find the Endless mode on this game to get ludicrously hard quite quickly, no idea why. Well, I suppose that's a bit harsh, it could probably scrape worthiness by playtime as if you were to sit and play the entire thing through it would take you an hour or two (I hesitate to comment on its worth as I can think of cheaper games with more substance). I love the Diner Dash series, I think HH is another decent rung on the ladder really, though in all honesty I don't think it's worth £7+. I don't know why it crashes and really, it shouldn't be on here unless it works but it's on here and it's a decent game once you get past the stupid cutscene bug.
