Every new client (they were all replaced) is still littered with bugs. Also the new system was incredibly buggy. Hopefully users read their email notice, took action and had a good enough ISP to complete the transfer before the deadline. On top of this, their encryption design required each user to download and re-upload their data. This was a total failure for a "backup" company. Recently Bitcasa decided to overhaul their system and required every user to login and manually perform a transfer of their files to the new system, in < 30 days, or their data would be deleted.

Their "mirror" feature allows offline storage across multiple devices, but only the device that originally created the file can update it. The service offers no ability to sync files/directories offline on multiple devices like dropbox.

For example, as mentioned earlier, Samsung says that the Galaxy S21 "can be submerged in 1,5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes." With an IP68 rating, depth and protection will vary for a short time. ![]() To meet the IPx8 standard, the device must continue to function normally after being left in the water “continuously,” although the exact details are generally up to the manufacturer. It is the highest classification available today and is considered as such: "dust resistant". The IP numbers that start with a six show that the device has complete protection against dust and that it will be protected from particles since none will be able to get inside. Specifically, the first digit refers to the protection of solid particles and the second digit, to the liquid. They are the initials for Ingress Protection and are usually followed by a number, which refers to its ability to resist water and dust. When we talk about waterproof hardware, we are often referring to its IP rating. If you're going to spend a ton of money on a phone, even if it's waterproof, do your best to keep it as far away from water as possible. For example, in one test, the iPhone XR, which is rated as waterproof, got a little wet and the FACE ID camera got all fogged up, which basically ruined the whole phone! It still worked, but why risk?!ĭon't assume that just because your phone is IP rated you can do whatever you want with it. ![]() Why?Īlthough the phone may "survive" underwater for some time, a few long-lasting negative effects may appear. However, our advice, once again as we cannot stress this enough, is to treat your phone like it's not waterproof, even when it is. Heck, with an IP68 rating, you could even use it to take pictures underwater as long as you don't go too deep. Still, if the worst happens and you drop your Galaxy S21 in the swimming pool, river, sea, or ocean (or maybe even your toilet, it happens) you'll be fine. And in the case of the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra – very expensive pieces of electronic devices! A bigger depth or longer exposure can cause the phone to break, therefore, as always, it's best NOT to get it wet, although that will probably be fine.Īgain, you don't want to mess around with water and your phone, it's still a piece of electronic technology after all. With an IP68 rating, you are basically covered for immersion in water that is around 1.5 meters deep, and for about 30 minutes, at least that’s what Samsung has claimed about the new S21 series. However, as some tests have shown, the Samsung Galaxy A51 really is waterproof. But Samsung's cheapest phones, like the Samsung Galaxy A51, are neither IP-rated nor officially classified as waterproof. The Galaxy S21 is IP68 rated, as are the Galaxy S21 Plus and the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The answer is - yes! Well, more or less so. ![]() There will be a programme of training for our teachers who lead subjects to ensure the teaching of all subjects is good or better.

Spend some time reflecting on the songs, voices, and sounds that make you feel most at home in whatever month or season you’re in. The Head and the Heart, a little Bing Crosby, Fleet Foxes, and of course, the ubiquitous autumnal sounds of Adele’s stunning vocals are perpetually on repeat. Right now, I’m listening to all the moody, acoustic jams that wrap me up in warmth and joy.

Mix Up Your Monthly or Seasonal Playlists With my fall garlands already arranged, I’m already gearing up for the holidays by decking the halls with the cutest and easiest ornaments. For that, I have a dedicated Pinterest board with seasonal DIY tasks. But I’ve also found that half the fun of a craft is arming yourself with an abundance of inspiration and ideas to check off your list. I find no greater joy than taking a project all the way from beginning to end. Bonus: As you improve your skills, you can do most any fiber art activity while watching your favorite cozy season movies or bingeing a podcast. However, I’ve also found that attending classes at my local knitting or craft store has helped me build a community of like-minded fiber folks as well.

Speaking of making your own clothes, fiber arts are a wonderful way to fill your closet with soft and cozy DIY’d pieces.

I’m picturing long, flowing dresses that I’ll layer over tights and under sweaters and cozy pants that are the slightest step up from sweats. I love the idea of filling my closet with handmade creations. With the rise of social media over the past decade and quick videos becoming influencers’ and online creatives’ medium of choice, the allure of making our own clothes has come into vogue.

But the beautiful thing about hobbies is that they stand to remind you that you’re a vibrant, complete person beyond your job and the obligations that fill your day. In our mile-a-minute world where constant connectivity, over-committing, and always being on your phone are the norm, it can be a challenge to make time for anything else.

North Carolina began sending voters ballots for November on Sept. The state worked with a civic group to create a more straightforward envelope. “I hope you consider this letter as me being a canary in the coal mine,” Ms. Deeley, a top elections official in Philadelphia, warned that without legislative action, the decision would lead to “electoral chaos” in November, with 30,000 to 40,000 ballots potentially thrown out in Philadelphia and 100,000 thrown out statewide. In a letter to state legislators, Lisa M. But the court also ruled that ballots that arrive without the inner envelope - so-called naked ballots - should be thrown out. The state Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, another state with a two-envelope system, recently extended the deadline for voters to return their ballots and approved the use of ballot drop boxes. The new regulations also provide additional help for voters filling out their envelopes: Every county will include highlighting on both the inner and outer envelopes where voters need to sign their names. Voter turnout surpassed 2016 levels, and no major problems with missing ballots or postal delays were reported.īut more than 32,000 Kentuckians - about 4 percent of mail-in voters - returned their ballots late or were tripped up by the state’s two-envelope system, and their votes weren’t counted. Kentucky’s June presidential primary featured an unprecedented share of ballots cast by mail. To reduce rejections, officials will accept ballots with certain types of mistakes. Some states are more demanding than others, so be sure to pay attention to all the instructions to make your vote count. Mail ballots are rejected for two primary reasons: They don’t arrive in time, or they are missing a signature or other requirement to certify a voter’s identity. With 60 million Americans potentially voting by mail this fall, even a small percentage of rejected ballots could result in more than one million votes being thrown out.Ībout 2 percent of mail ballots were rejected in this year’s primary elections, according to data collected from 24 states by Michael McDonald, a voter turnout expert at the University of Florida. ![]() |
