![]() The results were massive-the myriad “best show ever” kudos deserved. We are two robots in this pyramid with this light show, but everything is for you to have fun and enjoy yourself.” He’s absolutely right about the “have fun and enjoy yourself” bit, but the Alive tour separated itself from the millions of DJ parties before it by drawing attention to a fixed point while incorporating everything from Kiss-esque pomp to Space Invaders retro-future shock. ![]() It’s more like a rave party where the DJ isn’t important. Talking about the relationship between artist and audience, Bangalter told Paper, “Robots don’t make people feel like there’s an idol on stage. Even without video, Alive 2007 is an exercise in exacting excess, from the blaring “Robot Rock” intro to a wide-eyed power-booster of a encore that layers “One More Time" atop “ Music Sounds Better With You”-a combination so “holy shit” ecstatic it would seem downright cocky if it wasn’t so blissful. ![]() Wisely, the duo also know when to let the bass be, allowing large portions of unfuckwithable classics like “Da Funk” and “Burnin’” to work their magic with little robo-meddling. Meanwhile, the creepy hiss of “Steam Machine” is atomized and given space-age dynamics, turning it from a oddball bore into a fist-pumping celebration of the industrial age. The titular refrains of “Television Rules the Nation” and “Around the World” combine to form the globe’s most dance-friendly TV station theme song before the Black Sabbath crunch of “Television” is sent down upon the impossibly buoyant “Crescendolls,” resulting in the disc’s most unlikely-yet-spectacular roller coaster peak. Instead, well-worn favorites are glued together, cut-up and mashed into pieces. The live set doesn’t simply run through the hits, mindlessly segueing from one smash to another. ![]() One of the most remarkable aspects of Alive 2007 is how well it recontextualizes career nadir Human After All, turning previously leaden songs into ebullient rock’n’roll manifestos injected with Homework’s air-tight Moroder-style anthems or Discovery’s flamboyant funk, Human After All tracks are constantly improved and born anew. With a bounty of latent good will on their side thanks to the incredible re-playability of their first two albums, Daft Punk finally gave fans a million flashing reasons to fall in love with them all over again. 1 hip-hop songs, filling magazine spreads, spawning worthy would-be successors and, of course, owning the internet (on Flickr, Daft Punk photos currently outnumber Justin Timberlake snaps 2:1). And now, they’re everywhere (except Gap ads, thankfully)-getting sampled on No. But then, amped-up with enough electricity to illuminate a black hole, French house’s masked men upstaged Madonna, previous electronic pioneers Depeche Mode, and (ironically) Kanye West at 2006’s Coachella. After the shattering pop breakthrough of 2001’s Discovery, Daft Punk were going through an especially angsty adolescence-their spit-shined heads way up their own asses. And early screenings of their art-house opus, Electroma, evoked (unfortunately accurate) comparisons to Vincent Gallo’s on-the-road/oral sex epic Brown Bunny (except with endless scenes of hunk-o-metal ennui filling in for the graphic oral sex). ![]() The monster riffage and mind-numbing gloom of 2005’s Human After All had our favorite party-starters turning downright nihilistic. Lest we forget, before the out-of-nowhere debut of the now-iconic 3D triangle in April 2006, it seemed like Daft Punk lost the plot. Playing like a flawlessly sequenced and paced greatest hits album, this full-set Paris recording from June finds Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo connecting the booms among their three albums while officially cementing one of the year’s most rewarding and welcomed comebacks. But still, even the most hectic web clip can’t equal the French duo’s visceral sound-and-vision assault, so the focus of Alive 2007 falls on the reason why Daft Punk were allowed to lug 11 tons of equipment around the world for the last 19 months in the first place: their music. Commenting on the decision, Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter recently told Pitchfork, “The thousands of clips on the internet are better to us than any DVD that could have been released.” And, in many ways, the Alive tour is a perfect match for YouTube-the ancient Egypt by-way-of “The Jetsons” spectacle barrelling its way through shitty compression quality with blinding force. ![]()

Most 70 and 100 mini strings are wired like these 35 and 50 strings, only another set is added instead of the addon plug. The bulbs act as they would in the one-wire, but removing a bulb leaves the addon live. If one of the bulbs burns out, the others will remain lit because there's a resistor in the base of the bulb that continues to conduct (the lamp filament is almost a dead short, compared to the resistor.) A third way (and common for mini-lights of 35 and 50 these days) is a "three wire" scheme it's perhaps best described as an extension cord, between the male and the addon, with a series string in parallel with that circuit. If one of the bulbs is removed, all will go out. Certain bulbs could be getting more electricity than others, causing them to burn out quicker. ![]() If you notice many burned-out bulbs, you could have an electric issue on your hands. Repeatedly burnt-out bulbs can be an indicator of a more significant problem. Sometimes the wire is looped back so that it appears to be a two wire. Be sure to check your strand of string lights for burned-out bulbs. Using a socket on the strand that works, go through and individually insert each bulb into it. Remove the bulbs from the part of the strand that isn’t working and keep them together. Another way is "one wire" the bulbs (typically 2.2, 2.5, or 3.5 Volt, for 50, 50, or 35 bulbs on a string) are connected in series and there is no addon outlet. Without a light tester, you’ll have to take a more intense approach to find a bad bulb. ![]() I keep the lights plugged in while doing this. If the problem persists, take out the next bulb and do the same thing. Typically, these are c-9 and c-7 sets they have to be 120V bulbs. If the string is half lit, take the bulb out at the end of the string, plug the empty socket into the gun and click the trigger 10x. The bulbs are independantly wired to the two wires removing one leaves the others burning. One way to wire a set of lights is "two wire", with an "addon" outlet at the end. ![]() ![]() ![]() If any file has an issue, installation stops without changes to your system, and you'll see a message that the installer encountered an error.

Non-consensual pornography of public figures has long been a scourge of the internet, but privacy experts are growing concerned that advances in AI technology have made deepfake software easier and more effective. Describing one of the undressing apps, he said, “If you take them at their word, their website advertises that it has more than a thousand users per day.” “They are doing a lot of business,” Lakatos said. In addition to the rise in traffic, the services, some of which charge $9.99 a month, claim on their websites that they are attracting a lot of customers. We’ve reviewed the ads in question and are removing those that violate our policies.” Neither X nor Reddit responded to requests for comment. Because they are open source, the models that the app developers use are available for free.Ī Google spokesperson said the company doesn’t allow ads “that contain sexually explicit content. ![]() The rise in popularity corresponds to the release of several open source diffusion models, or artificial intelligence that can create images that are far superior to those created just a few years ago, Graphika said. Its proliferation runs into serious legal and ethical hurdles, as the images are often taken from social media and distributed without the consent, control or knowledge of the subject. These apps are part of a worrying trend of non-consensual pornography being developed and distributed because of advances in artificial intelligence - a type of fabricated media known as deepfake pornography. The services use AI to recreate an image so that the person is nude. For instance, since the beginning of this year, the number of links advertising undressing apps increased more than 2,400% on social media, including on X and Reddit, the researchers said. Many of these undressing, or “nudify,” services use popular social networks for marketing, according to Graphika. ![]() ![]() Doreen Marie Henricks will always be remembered for her boundless love, her nurturing nature, and her dedication to family.

True, they also demand greater reliability and ruggedness due to the rigours of continuous usage and often transportation. There's an interesting parallel universe to be discovered in the neighbouring domain of pro audio – after all, engineers should want the same as audiophiles, namely great sound. ![]() In my case that was clearly to bridge, doubling the output voltage, as the amps have ample current capability to hold those voltages at even the maximum volume levels I would ever want from my speakers.Benchmark Media Systems AHB2 Power Amplifier Engineering is the science of compromise, meaning you typically cannot optimize all parameters simultaneously, so one must decide what trade offs yield the largest overall improvements. If they are not, then they are performing within spec for ultra low noise and distortion. The amps also will let you know if they are clipping with the LED indicators. In bridged mode the voltage swing is double, which the quadruples the power, up to the current limits of the regulated power supply and protection circuits. This will also stiffen the current output. Also these amps have a regulated power supply, which is rare even in the most expensive audiophile products. There is more than enough current capacity. ![]() Regarding damping factors and current limiting, the output impedance on the ABH2 is low enough that doubling it by bridging the amps should make little or no difference in sound quality into almost any speaker. Some of done it and reported benefits in blind testing so I suppose it is possible. There is also the (valid) argument that bi-amping (even "AVR passive") isolates the upper and lower drivers so they do not modulate each other through the wires and amplifier's output impedance, but again I remain skeptical. It depends upon the speaker's impedance, amplifier's output impedance (both of which vary over frequency), and your perception as frequency response and other parameters change. Maybe, but that's a rabbit hole I don't feel like heading down. We are long past the days when 10 or 20 W was typical and a 100-W amp a rare and expensive thing. By and large my choice the past few years (10 or 20, who counts anymore? ) has been to get a single amplifier big enough to do the job and be done with it. I am not a believer in "passive bi-amping" as implemented by an AVR there are theoretical advantages, but in practice I suspect it is inaudible. I have bi-amped my system in the past, using an active or passive crossover network before the power amps, but for the past few years have not felt it worth the effort. Some have done it and reported benefits in blind testing so I suppose it is possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
