![]() It has also been considered a harmful pest to coconut palms, and, historically at least, it was consequently persecuted. Most forest has already been lost from Ambon and the coasts and lowlands of Seram. It is predicted that half the current population on Seram may be lost to conversion of forest in the next 25 years. Commercial timber extraction, settlement and hydroelectric projects, pose the other major threats through resultant forest loss and fragmentation. The red-vented cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia) sometimes called by. This illegal trade was prolific during religious riots in 2004, and baseline estimates suggest 4,000 birds are removed from the wild annually in domestic trade. White Cockatoo White COCKATOOCacatua alba Conservation Status: Lower Risk / Least. Although reported international trade fell to zero in the 1990s, trappers have remained highly active and birds are openly sold within Indonesia. According to IUCN: “By the 1980s the species was being extensively and unsustainably trapped for the cage-bird market, with an estimated 74,509 individuals exported from Indonesia between 19, and international imports averaging 9,751 per annum between 19. Illegal Capture and Trade Threatens the Salmon-crested Cockatoo’s Survival as a Wild Species. The only consistent difference is the presence or absence of pink in the crest-however, this is sometimes concealed, and hybrid offspring are also likely to show some pink in the crest, so even the crest coloration is somewhat unreliable for identification. The White Cockatoo is nearly all-white (with yellowish underwings and undertail) and Salmon-crested usually has a pinkish tone in its coloration (with pinkish, orangish, or yellowish underwings and undertail), but the tones of both species vary and viewing conditions make subtle differences in tone unreliable for identification. They are approximately the same size, with similarly-shaped crests and similar coloration. Moreover, it appears that they may have hybridized at least once in Hawaii, potentially producing intermediate offspring. They do not occur together naturally, but because both are popular cagebirds both have been found living ferally outside of their natural ranges, often in the same areas (e.g., Hawaii and Puerto Rico). ![]() White and Salmon-crested Cockatoos are sibling species that are endemic to nearby island groups in the Moluccas-White to the Bacan Islands and Salmon-crested to Seram and its neighbors.

Converting different encodings to the common HDR encoding requires clients to communicate their encoding, the compositor to adjust and convert between the different color spaces, and the driver to enable an HDR mode in the display. Most clients nowadays are unaware of HDR, Wide Color Gamuts (WCG) and instead produce pixels with RGB encodings which look okay on most displays which approximate sRGB characteristics. Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) requires compositors to produce framebuffers in specific HDR encodings with framebuffers from different clients. As Sebastian put it when I spoke with him, HDR forces us (the Linux ecosystem) to take colors seriously for the first time and thus it reveals a lot of shortcomings up through our stack, many which are not even directly HDR related. For those who read my past updates you know I have been talking about this for a while, but it has been slow moving both because it is a very complex issue that needs changes from the kernel graphics drivers up through the desktop shell and into the application GUI toolkits. Sebastian Wick is leading that effort for us and working with partners and contributors across the community and the industry. So I do ask people, especially those who are members of the technology press to be more precise in their reviews, about if they are talking about Fedora Workstation or another project that is housed under the Fedora umbrella and not just shorten it all to ‘Fedora’.Ī major goal for us at Red Hat is to get proper HDR support into Fedora and RHEL. So the reason I keep stressing this point is that I to this day often see comments or feedback about ‘Fedora’, feedback which as someone spending a lot of effort on Fedora Workstation, sometimes makes no sense to me, only to reach out and discover that they where not using Fedora Workstation, but one of the spins. Different variants adopted different technologies at different times, for instance Fedora Workstation was an early adopter of new technologies like Wayland and PipeWire. And that is not just because the feature set of GNOME is different from the feature set of XFCE, it is because each variant is able to set their own policies, their own configurations and do their own testing and QE. This means that while Fedora Workstation contains many of the same components of other things like the Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop spin, the XFCE Desktop spin, the Cinnamon spin and so on, they are not the same thing. Putting together an operating system like Fedora Workstation is more than just assembling a list of software components to include though, it is also about setting policies, default configurations, testing and QE and marketing. But all them should be considered separate efforts built using a shared set of building blocks. That means that Fedora Workstation isn’t ‘Fedora’ it is something created by the Fedora community alongside a lot of other projects like Fedora Server, Silverblue and Fedora spins like Fedora KDE and Fedora Kinoite. As part of that bigger community you have a lot of working groups and special interest groups working to build something with those building blocks and Fedora Workstation is the most popular thing being built from those building blocks. Think of the Fedora community a bit like a big group of people providing well tested and maintained building blocks to be used to build operating systems and applications. Let me start by saying that I now also have a Mastodon account, so please follow me on for news and updates around Fedora Workstation, PipeWire, Wayland, LVFS and Linux in general.īefore I start with the general development update I want to mention something I mentioned quite a few times before and that is the confusion I often find people have about what is Fedora and what is Fedora Workstation.įedora is our overall open source project and community working on packaging components and software for the various outputs that the Fedora community delivers. ![]() I highly recommend going to one of his shows if you want to see a true entertainer perform.

![]() Although this is usually the case, there’s no guarantee, so if during a blackout your devices are powered but you still can’t get to the Internet, it’s probably because there’s no power on the other end.Īdapted from, part of the Network.ĭo you have a comment or question about this article or other small business topics in general? Speak out in the Forums.I have a 20K Generac on my house, build date of 2009. One final caveat - even when your gateway and router are connected to a UPS, having Internet access during a power failure will ultimately depend on one variable that’s out of your control: namely, whether your cable or phone company’s remote location also has a battery backup (or generator) to keep its own equipment running during a power outage. You may notice from this chart that UPS run times generally aren’t linear (i.e., compared to full-load, a UPS at half-load will usually last not twice as long, but often three, four or five times longer). ![]() (Be wary when researching this topic on the Internet, because there’s lots of misleading and contradictory information out there.) Your best bet is to find the power consumption of your gateway and router - often expressed in watts - on their power supplies (mine added up to a total of 30 watts, which should be pretty typical) and then check the UPS manufacturer’s Web site for an estimated runtime chart for the particular model in which you’re interested.įor example, the following chart indicates that an $80 APC BE650R will run for about an hour-and-a-half under a 50 watt load, and a conservative extrapolation suggests that it should easily last two hours when providing just 30 watts. This is the point where I’d love to provide a universal mathematical formula for calculating UPS runtime based on a power consumption, but there are so many variables to consider that there’s no way to provide one with any accuracy. Needless to say - but I’ll say it anyway - avoid plugging nonessential devices like printers into battery-backed outlets. When setting up a UPS, be mindful of which of its outlets you’re using, because some outlets provide only surge suppression and not battery backup. If you absolutely need to share a UPS device with a desktop system, make sure it also connects to the desktop via USB and is running software to automatically shut the system down (or do it manually yourself as soon as the power fails). This way, they won’t have to compete with more ravenous devices for limited battery power. The best way to ensure this is to plug your broadband gateway and router into their own dedicated UPS device. Of course, power failures can be caused by myriad reasons other than hurricanes, so wouldn’t it be nice to know your Internet access can continue humming along for a time after the power goes out? Although the UPS conked out several hours before the power came back, it was nice (and immensely useful) while it lasted. This time allowed me to use a notebook system to monitor the storm on weather-related sites, keep in touch with clients and family, and even watch live streaming video from local TV stations. It wasn’t long after the storm arrived that our power went out, but thanks to a UPS powering my cable modem and wireless router, the Internet access and the wireless network remained up for almost two hours. I experienced this firsthand a couple of years ago when Hurricane Wilma rolled through Southwest Florida. With your broadband connection and network up and running courtesy of battery power, you can remain connected and productive for quite a while during an extended power failure. Therefore, the same UPS that powers a PC for only a few minutes will likely run your gateway and router a good deal longer - perhaps for several hours. (UPS devices with longer run times are available, but their large sizes and price tags make them impractical for home- or small-office use.) But unlike a desktop PC that can swill electricity like Gatorade at a track meet, a DSL/cable gateway and broadband router (wired or wireless) both consume relatively small amounts of power. When powering an average desktop system, a typical UPS device will last anywhere from five to 20 minutes. It also prevents an abrupt shutdown from causing damage to your operating system’s configuration or the loss of open but unsaved files. Doing so ensures that, in the event of a power failure, you’ll still have enough juice to shut down your computer normally. Aside from regularly backing up your hard drive, keeping your computers and network hardware plugged into a uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is another wise data protection practice. ![]()
![]() LockBit ransomware website offers a bug bounty program They even run a bug bounty program - the only ransomware crew to do so. This is indicative of a highly organized ransomware operation. Interestingly, LockBit maintains its own website, which is rather professional-looking. However, if a victim fails to meet their demands, LockBit doesn't hesitate to release the stolen sensitive data on their portal, which they host on the Tor network. Ransom demands are flexibly adjusted based on the victim, with the group typically asking for what they believe is a “fair” amount given the damage caused and the victim's ability to pay. LockBit promotes itself as an "ethical ransomware gang." Its code of conduct restricts both the core group and its affiliates from targeting healthcare organizations, charities, or social services. It verifies the language setting of the infected machine and aborts the attack if the setting is Russian, Romanian, Tatar, or, intriguingly, Arabic. LockBit, like many threats thought to originate from former USSR territories, avoids attacking victims near its likely home base. This implies that while LockBit can be involved in high-profile attacks on large enterprises, it primarily targets small to medium-sized businesses. However, the average demand from this group is considerably lower, around $85,000. For instance, in February 2023, LockBit was implicated in an incident involving Royal Mail, where the adversaries demanded a staggering $80 million ransom. Some estimates even suggest that this threat is behind 40% of all ransomware attacks.īoth large and small organizations are potential targets of a LockBit attack. The main group sells access to the ransomware on underground forums, where they advertise it as the "fastest encryption software in the world." This business model, much like a franchise, has let LockBit grow its operations. Similar to threats such as Revil/Sodinokibi, LockBit works on a Ransomware-as-a-Service model. ![]() It's one of the biggest ransomware threats out there, making up about a third of all Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) attacks. It mostly targets Windows computers, but it can also encrypt files on Linux and, more recently, MacOS machines. LockBit is a ransomware strain and also the name of the hacker group behind it. ![]() For this reason, as of 2020, the company is experiencing a resurgence of major corporate bases. Since its foundation, CTT Express has established a serious commitment to developing and investing in modern technologies and tools that help to provide services with the best possible quality. This, in turn, has given it the ability to manage parcel shipping processes more efficiently, which is not only good for CTT Express customers as it means secure, controlled and faster delivery but it also has allowed CTT Express to pass on the savings made through more efficient parcel delivery to customers, offering very competitive rates of delivery services in comparison to its biggest competitors, such as DHL, GEODIS ESPACE and DPD. Notably, CTT Expresso has particularly benefited from its investment in distribution management, employing the use of artificial intelligence algorithms that track the progress of parcels internationally. CTT Express ships by land, air, and sea, with the most used form of transportation used by CTT Express are through the air due to it being the speediest delivery method. The company today manages large volumes of packages both inbound and outbound from Europe, especially from Spain and Portugal. In fact, CTT Express has developed one of the leading Express delivery services originating in Europe.

On this video card, it is Optimal Power that is the “slowest” at 79.8FPS and Adaptive and Prefer Maximum Performance are 2-FPS faster at 81FPS. They are completely opposite of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. What’s even odder though are the results on the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. For competitive 3DMark benchmarking this can make all the difference. It seems both Adaptive and Prefer Maximum Performance are faster than Optimal Power by 3. Our only going theory on this is that Prefer Maximum Performance is making the video card hit its power limit faster, thus cutting back the clock speed a bit, which does seem to affect performance ever so slightly. This result on the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a bit more significant and hard to ignore. It's optimal, adaptive, and performance Anyway, use optimal. ago Borked install perhaps Try DDU and reinstall the driver. As we saw previously it can dive down below Optimal and Adaptive for whatever reason. ago Why do I only see the adaptive and optimal power option in the Nvidia Control Panel, but not Maximum Performance deleted 7 yr. Our only theory here might be in regards to the GPU Frequency. Setting power management mode from Adaptive to Maximum Performance can improve performance in certain applications when the GPU is throttling the clock. However, it is there and yells at you when you look at it. However, we are actually losing a bit of performance at Prefer Maximum Performance, it’s slight, 2-FPS, and could be considered our margin of error. themariokarters GTX 2080 Super i7-6700K 4.6Ghz 7 yr. What we see though is that Optimal Power and Adaptive are dead even on performance, our run-through does seem to be very consistent. ago Why do I only see the adaptive and optimal power option in the Nvidia Control Panel, but not Maximum Performance deleted 7 yr. Do you use 'prefer maximum performance' in the Nvidia control panel when overclocking your card I'm getting lower. We are performing a manual run-through in this game, so there are variances due to that, a margin of error, plus this game just performs a lot better overall. If I set power management mode - prefer maximum performance in the global tab, my card will never downclock on idle even if I set it to adaptive for some programs in the program settings tab. 1 Hello, I'm sure this has been already asked, however I can't find the answer. This game is different from the previous in a couple of ways. Answer ID: 3130 Setting Power management modefrom 'Adaptive' to 'Maximum Performance' can improve performance in certain applications when the GPU is throttling the clock speeds incorrectly. We move from the helicopter drop, call an airstrike on the town below and work our way all the way through the town taking out the baddies.
