![]() ![]() This work aims to perform a thorough literature review on the techniques being used to protect confidentiality of the data in personal computing devices, including both encryption and secure deletion. Encryption and secure deletion are used to ensure data confidentiality during and after their lifetime, respectively. To provide confidentiality guarantee, the data should be protected when they are preserved in the personal computing devices (i.e., confidentiality during their lifetime) and also, they should be rendered irrecoverable after they are removed from the devices (i.e., confidentiality after their lifetime). We incur between 2-2.5 seconds delay during boot, and no performance penalty at run-time.Įnsuring confidentiality of sensitive data is of paramount importance, since data leakage may not only endanger data owners’ privacy, but also ruin reputation of businesses as well as violate various regulations like HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Based on our two primary Gracewipe prototypes (i.e., software-based FDE with TrueCrypt and hardware-based FDE with self-encrypting drive), we also design and implement an extended family of unlocking schemes for triggering deletion, to achieve better plausibility, security and usability. To unlock the target encryption key, the adversary can only guess passwords through the valid Gracewipe environment with a high-risk of triggering deletion of the real key. When coerced, a user can fake compliance and enter the deletion password and then, the user can prove to the adversary that Gracewipe has been executed and the real key is no longer available (through a TPM quote), hoping for a favorable situation (e.g., end of torture). Using secure storage on a trusted platform module (TPM) and modern CPU's trusted execution mode (e.g., Intel TXT), we design Gracewipe to enable secure and verifiable deletion of encryption keys through a special deletion password. Therefore, making data verifiably inaccessible in a stealthy and quick fashion may be the preferred choice, specifically for users, such as government/corporate agents, journalists, and human rights activists with highly confidential secrets, when caught and interrogated in a hostile territory. Traditional full disk encryption (FDE) or plausibly deniable encryption cannot adequately address such situations. ![]() For users in possession of password-protected encrypted data in persistent storage (i.e., 'data at rest'), an obvious problem is that the password may be extracted by an adversary through dictionary attacks, or by coercing the user. ![]() ![]() ![]() The level environments are more open and nonlinear than in the previous title. ![]() ![]() In co-op mode, each player experiences the narrative as Lo Wang but sees other players as various anonymous ninjas.

Yet, I don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions. In the age of AWS as well as cloud storage products from Google ( GOOG) ( GOOGL) and Microsoft ( MSFT), it is natural to be concerned about a niche cloud provider such as this one.

The controversy will do little to help her and Harry’s reputation as emotionally incontinent, narssisistic grievance grifters. The moaning Duchess was said to be “upset and overwhelmed” by the episode, in a familiar pattern to how she overreacts to any and all criticism. “The Sussexes’ spokesperson said the idea of the animated television sketch having legal ramifications was “all frankly nonsense” and “totally baseless and boring,” reports the Telegraph. However, their legal team appears to have swiftly concluded that no legal action will be pursued. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are in “serious trouble” if their popularity plummets in the US. Observers noted that they were more sensitive over the South Park episode because it would primarily be seen by an American audience. Opinion polls in the UK show that Megan is the least popular royal aside from only Prince Andrew. This prompted a further wave of ridicule, with many asking if the royals seriously believed they could sue comedy writers for making jokes about their behavior and hurting their feelings. Royal commentator Neil Sean revealed, “Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.” The show made fun of Harry and Meghan constantly complaining about their privacy being invaded while simultaneously being on a ‘World Wide Privacy Tour’ of relentless self-publicity. Perhaps fearing even further ridicule, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have gone cold on the idea of suing the creators of South Park for making fun of them in a recent episode.Īs we highlighted yesterday, the whinging couple reportedly had their lawyers pour over the episode to see if it contained anything “sinister” that could be legally actionable. They may very well have one because they’re racist.” He added, “So you shouldn’t assume someone isn’t racist just because they own a minority sex servant.

You can also record multiple reframing edits side-by-side with the same clip, with instant video export. ![]() A fantastic feature when you and your subject are both moving differently to each other and you want to make sure the focus is always on them. The app will now track your subject and reframe the footage automatically to keep the target in the centre of the frame. Insta360’s new Snap Wizard streamlines that process by recording all your edits automatically.Īll you need to do is move your phone to point the video in the direction you want to follow, swipe and punch to pan and zoom in or out and then use the app’s built-in Deep Track 2.0 to select your target. The ability to reframe a 360° camera and target your shots after the fact is one of the most amazing things about them for regular flat footage content creators. First, there’s the Snap Wizard, allowing you to more easily take advantage of the “shoot first, point later” philosophy of 360° cameras. The Insta360 Mobile App sees a couple of new features. The Quick Reader for the Insta360 ONE R or Insta360 ONE X2 are available to buy now from the Insta360 Store for $59.99 each and should be popping up at other retailers soon. Quick Reader for the Insta360 ONE X2 Advertisements These readers plug into the camera and allow you to transfer files from the camera’s microSD card to a second card inside the reader. There’s a horizontal one for use with the Insta360 ONE R and a vertical one for the Insta360 ONE X2. Secondly, there’s the new Insta360 Quick Readers, which is available in two varieties. So it looks like it’s not coming to the 360° mod or the ONE X2 – yet? Advertisements Quick Readers Insta360 only mentions this feature in relation to the Insta360 ONE R with either the 4K or 1-Inch mod. The new feature is available in 4K 50fps standard video and loop recording modes as well as 4K 30fps, 25fps and 24fps modes previously supported under Basic stabilisation on the Insta360 ONE R. And as the footage doesn’t need to be recompressed to stabilise it, you get a higher quality end result. Sure, it’s letting you do what you can do already in software, but being able to do it in-camera means that you’re taking steps out of your workflow to speed up your editing time. ![]() Now, the new Quick FlowState upgrades the former “Basic” stabilisation algorithms and say that it is comparable to the regular FlowState normally applied in post. While the Insta360 ONE R has featured Basic stabilisation in-camera, it’s nowhere near as good as the FlowState stabilisation available in their mobile and desktop apps. The Insta360 ONE R has featured “Basic” stabilisation with its 4K and 1-Inch modules since it was first released, but that’s been beefed up now with the new Quick FlowState stabilisation, offering what Insta360 says is gimbal-like stabilisation without the need to do it in post. So, first up, let’s talk stabilisation with the new Quick FlowState. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet he or his allies still controlled the whole of mainland Europe, except for neutral Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Sweden. ![]() The Russian counteroffensives at the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk had pushed back the perimeter of Hitler’s Europe in the east. It also retained its foothold on the coast of North Africa, acquired when it had gone to the aid of its Italian ally in 1941. In midsummer 1943, a year before the Anglo-American invasion of Normandy that would lead to the liberation of western Europe, Adolf Hitler’s Wehrmacht (“Armed Forces”) still occupied all the territory it had gained in the blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939–41 and most of its Russian conquests of 1941–42.

It’s perhaps the pinnacle of American Queen Anne. Expansive porches-piazzas or verandahs-are a distinctly American innovation. Many of these early examples incorporate masonry or stucco and feature prominent chimneys. Richardson are in the tradition of Richard Norman Shaw, the former Gothicist and English architect who interpreted vernacular houses during the mid-19th century. Bold examples by such American architects as H.H. Phases of American Queen AnneĮarly examples are unmistakably English, borrowing such details as half-timbering and carving from 17th-century architecture. The wide front porch is a favorite spot children love the porch swing, a replacement made to replicate the original seen in old photographs. ![]() See Victorian Exterior Paint Colors for more about Queen Anne exteriors. Sawn, chamfered, carved, lathe-turned, and applied ornament is used on porches, gables, cornices, and story breaks. ![]() (Polychrome painting plays up surface texture even more.) Belt courses, gable ornament, turnings, brackets, balustrades, and sawn-wood “gingerbread” keep it interesting. Surfaces are broken by a switch from stone or clapboard to shingles, often with fancy-cut butts. Towers, turrets, bays, porches, and roofline break the box. Greg Kozawa Recommended Queen Anne Styling of the 1860s Millwork framing the 8′-tall pocket door (left) leading to the dining room is new, custom-cut to match surviving samples, but blends seamlessly with the antique door. The houses also had Palladian windows and pedimented entries-it was the beginning of the Colonial Revival. Now porches had classical columns instead of turned posts. The explosion of turned ornament led to the spindlework interpretation, called Eastlake after the English tastemaker and furniture designer (who, by the way, repudiated such gauche American use of his name).īy the 1890s, the all-American Free Classic adaptation was widespread. By 1880 the style appeared in pattern books-Americanized and adapted for city lot and simple cottage. The first American Queen Anne house is probably the half-timbered Watts–Sherman House in Newport, Rhode Island, built in 1874 by Boston architect H.H. Ye olde simple brick house of the 17th century became, in its 1880s revival, the most complex and surface-ornamented of Victorian house styles. When it flourished in America, of course, the idea was transformed. (Shaw didn’t revive the motifs of Queen Anne’s short reign, however rather, his buildings looked back to the late Tudor–Gothic, Elizabethan, and Jacobean periods.) The Queen Anne Style in America In its original philosophy, the Queen Anne movement paralleled that of William Morris and Arts and Crafts reformers. He and other Aesthetic reformers looked back to the reign of “good Queen Anne,” 1702–1714, as a simpler time, when workmanship was emphasized over superficial detail. The Queen Anne Movement began in England in mid-century, easily traced to the famous architect Richard Normal Shaw, a Gothicist. Many roof slates had fallen to the ground, and roof leaks had caused significant rot and interior water damage. The West Coast and resurgent areas of the New South have the most dizzying examples. Go south and west, however, and the style becomes more popular and more fanciful. The Northeast, already heavily populated in the 1880s, has comparatively fewer examples that you might expect. The History of the Queen Anne, Victorian-Architecture Styleĭespite roots in the English “Queen Anne Movement”-a return to early, vernacular architecture-it is here a peculiarly American style in its mass-produced ornamentation (including “gingerbread”) and lavish use of wood. Robust but lighthearted exteriors-with their asymmetrical facades, towers, verandas, and fancy-butt shingles-hint at the sweetly eclectic rooms inside. English-derived and very popular from 1880 through the 1890s, the quintessential Victorian house is a period favorite. ![]() ![]() It might not have the high-power graphics and visualizations used for other word apps, but it doesn’t need to.

Games felt like a way to do this on a huge scale, but the stories I heard from SpellTower players taught me that games do so much more for people than I ever expected. I wanted to help people think critically and come away with more than they arrived with. I got into games because I wanted to connect with people in a positive way. With SpellTower I heard about grandparents playing the game every morning to keep their minds sharp, parents playing it with their kids, expectant mothers playing it to get through morning sickness, and countless sightings of strangers playing it on subways, planes - even elevators. It’s pretty wild to be revisiting my first hit game, SpellTower. I can't believe it's almost 10 years since it released. The first iPhones it ran on had a 3.5 inch screen and 320 x 480 resolution!
