Taking the fast lane to disc labels with Express Labeler. Instead, we'll show you how to get creative by customizing your labels and inserts. We won't go into the details here, since they are largely self-evident. You can have finished labels in just a few clicks, using the convenient styles and automatic track name import. Express Labeler provides a series of dialogs that quickly step you through the process of creating labels, booklets, inserts and more. It's also available from the Tools menu within Label Creator. ![]() For quickest results, use the Express Labeler wizard, which is invoked whenever you launch Label Creator from within another Roxio application. ![]() ![]() There are two basic ways to use Label Creator. Look for discs labeled "LightScribe" or "printable." For both LightScribe and direct disc printing, you'll need to buy special recordable media. Printers with direct CD/DVD print support are available from Canon, Epson and HP, among others, and LightScribe drives from companies like HP, Samsung, and Toshiba. They have a cool holographic look, and come in several colors. LightScribe is a technology that etches labels right onto the reverse side of specially made discs, using the laser in your recorder. We recommend the latter two printing methods for discs, since stick-on labels can sometimes get stuck in slot-loading drives like those in many cars and most Apple Macs. You can print three ways: to label templates from most major manufacturers, such as Avery and Neato to printable discs with an appropriate printer or even directly to disc using a LightScribe drive. It's simple with the included Label Creator program. If you have a CD applicator, such as Avery 5699, follow these instructions.Tired of scrawled titles on burned CDs and DVDs?

“While voice control is convenient for all age groups, it is especially suitable for the elderly or the disabled,” Full Enterprise’s General Manager James Yih noted.Ĭhallenges in making voice devices Tali Chen, CVP In the future, Full Enterprise also plans to develop voice control on a smartphone to control home devices. The company’s voice control may turn on one single device or multiple devices to enable a scene. IoT company Full Enterprise has developed local voice control by inserting control modules into devices. Common standards Z-Wave, Zigbee, ULE and RF have all been used. The chosen communication protocols, however, separate companies making gateways. A gateway essentially can talk to almost every kind of home electronics. ![]() Wifly-City has such device while Good Way has plans to develop and launch one in the near future.Īll these voice-receiving devices work by passing voice commands to a gateway that relay signals to home devices. Unless being tapped or triggered by the wake-up word, the device is in the sleep mode to save battery power. 20-30 voice commands are stored in the panel.Ī portable voice control device is more common. The panel is embedded with a voice IC that performs voice recognition and processing. The product could be a good replacement to a smart speaker, the placement of which is constrained by the power line it connects to.Įlectronics manufacturer Good Way Technology has co-developed a smart panel which can receive and pass voice commands to other devices. The speaker may be embedded in the wall in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc., thus allowing a user to give voice command more conveniently. Philio, for example, plans to introduce a battery-powered speaker that has the shape and size of a baseball. Local companies that enable smart homes are rolling out alternatives to smart speakers. When in the bedroom, I don’t want to go to the speaker placed in the living room to turn off the light,” said Chen Wen-bin, Manager of the IoT Business Department at Wifly-City, a company that provides smart home solutions for the retail market. “Voice control should not be constrained in a certain area. Users should be able to access voice control anywhere at home. As such, it may not be feasible for a user to place a smart speaker in every room, which is the ideal setting for voice control. These functionalities, however, will add up to costs. Also, a smart speaker may have up to 6-8 microphones embedded so that it can receive voices from different directions and for noise cancellation purpose. ![]() Smart speakers from big companies have great audio systems, which are usually more than sufficient for voice control scenarios. “A simple task like opening curtains at home should not require processing in the cloud before sending a command back to the device.”Īnother advantage of using a local voice system is that it does not require the purchase of an expensive smart speaker. Controlling every home device from the cloud sounds more complex than it needs to be, according to James Huang, the company’s CEO. One of them is Taiwan-based Philio Technology Corp. The merits of local voice control are acknowledged by many smart home system providers. Since home devices are not linked to the Internet, hackers won’t have chances to control home devices and security can be ensured. Also, users do not need to worry about unstable Internet connection, because the signal is only passed around in the house. Because the signal does not travel to the Internet, lower latency can be ensured. In a local network environment, a voice command travels from a microphone to a gateway which then passes the command to home devices. It features low latency, and runs on a more stable and secure internal network. ![]() There are many advantages of using a local voice control system. ![]() There is a different way of doing it, that is, local voice control, which does not require passing the command to the cloud via Wi-Fi. The way it works is that upon receiving a voice command, a smart speaker will pass the voice to the cloud for processing before a control signal is passed to a home device. People tend of be more familiar with Amazon Echo or Google Home when it comes to using voice to control home devices. Starting last year, voice control has been an important issue in the smart home space. ![]() I would only check in with him when he signaled it was time for our safety stops or when he caught up with me to share my oxygen, having hyperventilated through his tank trying to keep track of me underwater.

It's not nearly as even decent as the hype made it out to be prior to release. There is truly no point in securing the objective cities, or capturing territories and expanding to an EMPIRE at all, just stick to being a city state, and let the countless hordes destroy your towns after towns in their zerg rushes, recapture the cities, lose them again, rinse and repeat and never get ahead.

Subanutica: Below Zero improves upon the storytelling aspect from the first game, where instead of being thrust into the world and forced to survive and then discover what happened to the ship you’ve crashed from, Subnautica: Below Zero puts in the eyes of Robin Ayou, a scientist who is dead set of finding out the causes of her sister’s death moments after the events of the first game where the main protagonist flees the planet in a rocket. Games like Minecraft just drops you off in the middle of nowhere and you instinctually start punching trees to make some rudimentary tools and build a makeshift dirt shack for the next few nights, while some games give you a single focused goal to keep pushing you towards the endgame such as The Forest where you have to find and save your son from a cannibal tribe and Outlast, where you're an editor from a local newspaper and an anonymous source gives you a task and then promptly sending you to die in an abandoned lunatic asylum. Usually in open-world survivals, there isn’t a concrete storyline that drives the player to survive for their lives in a completely unknown world that is otherwise rich in some sort of lore put together by the developers. Unknown Worlds Entertainment recaptured the experience of the first Subnautica game and turned everything all the up to eleven to make a survival experience that not only makes you feel like the little fish in a big pond, but as the little fish in a rich ecosystem brimming with life. The astronomical rise in popularity that Subanutica has gained during its beta and full release also sparked other new open-world survival games taking place in a similar setting, albeit a much more grounded experience, with Raft placing you in a tattered wooden panel floating in the middle of the ocean and using what little objects you can procure around your surroundings and crafting them to create a self-sustaining utopia to live out the rest of your life in the open ocean infested with sharks.īut none can hold the candle to the original Subnautica, and the 2021 sequel sparked an immense amount of hype for the next chapter in surviving in the deep ocean once again. The open-world survival genre set in the great blue sea with many undiscovered horrors lurking deep below us is a genre that has never been explored before, and poses a new set of challenges to even the most basic tasks to get the players to set up a barebones base of operations. Oh, and half the ocean’s out for your swimsuit-clad behind as fish food.Ĭalling Subnautica one of the most horrifying experiences I ever had in an open-world survival game would be an understatement. Rather than just dropping you off in a middle of a forest with nothing but your fists and quick-thinking intuition to barely get through the first few days of ensuring your survival, the developers at Unknown Worlds Entertainment turns the genre on its head and instead just puts you in a burning escape pod moments away from crash-landing into the middle of the ocean and being next to the ship that you were just in not too long ago and being right at the doorstep of a radiation-contaminated zone around it. Don't be put off though because its a game that i would recommend for everyone to play.Subnautica has produced one of the most unique open-world survival experiences the genre has ever seen. Do be weary that it contains some horror aspects and also stuff like spiders, loud horrifying sounds, and downright absurdly scary fish. Overall its a very serene and calming game, with quite a few bugs, but don't be surprised when you hear a bloodcurdling scream from the other room as your kid is getting hunted down by a big fish. From what I've gathered through me and my Childs many playthroughs of the game is that it can teach you to manage resources, it pushes you to think more critically at times, and it teaches you that fighting back is both a valuable skill, and one that shouldn't be tested against the bigger threats in this game. I would highly recommend it as i found the fact that at often times, it contradicts some messages thought frequently today. Even though it is terrifying at times, its overall a beautiful and deeply complex game in terms of story, mechanics, and the fact that you need to use your head in order to solve some puzzles and or challenges. Because its all fun and games until you get the life scared out of you for traveling a little too far from home. This game is for all ages but what really matters is if your child gets easily scared. I have no idea why some of the ratings here are anything below 10, some are even 4 and up. ![]() There's no room for opinions about this travesty. The notion that it somehow "enhances the game" and "makes it more pure" to NOT be allowed to use an extremely basic and otherwise universally-present feature in a game like this is dumb. SCU as it stands is nothing more than a glorified and needlessly over-elaborate slot-machine. When the game can't even be trusted to act consistently, it's not "adaptation" you're arguing. It's nothing short of idiotic to think otherwise. (Making 'Private Room' and 'Private Apartment' a little more different in name and appearance would also help) That should take care of mis-clicking issues without damaging the strategy and need to adapt. Place another though, and it's permanent. Originally posted by MightyFox:I've been thinking about this problem for a little bit, (as someone who has misclicked room placement myself) and I think the best solution would be to allow the removal of the last room you placed. But that's no excuse for the developers to act like a bunch of tossers and give the entire playerbase the finger just 'cause they're too pretentious to accept that some features are ubiquitous in gaming for a bloody good reason. So yeah, I agree, if it's just an "aww ♥♥♥♥, I accidentally placed a room in the wrong spot" and you saved shortly before that, your solution works just fine. a manual load game feature? Or better yet, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "remove this room" button?! Time which could be saved with, oh, I dunno. You have a slow computer and restarting the game takes an unnecessarily long time.

Arguing against the necessity of that feature just makes you look like an idiot with less than zero experience in gaming. in which you build stuff allows the player to move/remove whatever they've built. It's also a 100% immutable fact that being unable to remove a previously built room is a really stupid game design choice. You can argue using your insipid and utterly baseless opinions all you want, but the FACT is that a game in which you build and manage a structure of any kind is BY DEFINITION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY A MATTER OF ABSOLUTE FACTS, A MANAGEMENT GAME. So you're talking out of your arse, mate.īeing able to remove rooms is a VITAL FEATURE. There's no such thing as strategy nor puzzle if the ENTIRETY of the game's progression is RNG-based. If you could destroy/move anything you like, that destroys critical game mechanics. Originally posted by 2qhurda9:Remember that this is a puzzle/strategy game, not a sim. Politeness is NOT warranted in this case, the way I see it. I purchased this game just days after its very first public version release, helped shape it with numerous bug reports and suggestions, and yet the devs messed up this bad. So I ask you: how the bloody hell can something this insanely obvious and important have been removed and then neglected for this long? But this game received its 1.0 FULL VERSION RELEASE just days ago, AND we used to have the ability to remove rooms AGES ago. If this'd been something along the lines of "the devs of this game simply forgot to include an extremely critical feature in a very early stage of the game's development and we're still at v0.4", it'd be a different story. I'll reserve my politeness for people who thoroughly deserve it. A way to undo that mistake would be nice. I have placed duplicate rooms by accident before.
