since the respOnse has been favOrable, I’ll talk abOut my OCs.

And I’ll even drop the quirk for a moment. I’ll put the whole business under the cut so that your dash doesn’t get too filled up.

Alright, first things first, one thing to know about me is that one of my favorite tropes is Theme Naming(tm) and themed characters in general.

Now that this is out of the way, know that if you also like these tropes, you won’t be disappointed.

Another thing to note is that my fanventure is happening after the events that occurred in Homestuck, and that Hussie’s characters will at one point in time join the story, but I’ll come back to this point later on.

Firstly, let’s divide my characters into groups. These groups being :

The Humans

The Trolls

The Divinat

The Maggedon Cavalery

The Proxies

The Antagonists

(The Antagonists’ group will, of course, omit some characters to leave some things uncovered, but you are free to message me to talk about it.)

The Humans and Trolls are self-explanatory, but let me develop onto them for a bit. Themed Characterization applies here, and it is shown differently both for the Humans and Trolls : The Humans are four goofs named thusly :

Alex Castella

Yann Cizarei

Sara Guglielmi

Mona McFinny

Those four are all based around times of day, as is shown through their lands, like the original Homestuck’s beta kids.

Alex’s land is the Land of Night and Ruins (LONAR)

Yann’s is the Land of Dusk and Chess (LODAC)

Sara’s is the Land of Midday and Frogs (LOMAF)

Mona’s is the Land of Dawn and Highlands (LODAH)

The Trolls, however, are based around music genres due to their appearances and/or interests. Here are the twelve goofs and the signification behind their names, as is needed for respectable trolls (P.S.: They’re in order of blood color from rust to tyrian, except Ophius who is a mutantblood):

Wesson Tucony: First name based on the gun-makers Smith & Wesson, which follows his cowboy theme. Last name is an anagram of “County”

Yperos Ischyr: First name is based on the greek word υπεροχή (=yperochi), which means “Excellence”. Last name is based on the greek word ισχυρός (=ischyrós), meaning “Powerful”

Delpix Ectrel: First name is an anagram of the word “Pixel” with an added “D” to follow the 6-6 rule. Last name is an anagram of “Electro” / “Electric” following the same rule.

Bankaz Moolon: First name based on the word Bank with an added -az suffix. Last name based on “Moolah”, slang for “Money”, and “Oolong” a kind of chinese tea.

Ophius Gyvate: First name based on Ophiuchus, the 13th Zodiac represented by a snake. Last name is the lithuanian word for “Serpent”.

Tatsel Lurdac: First name is an anagram of “Lestat”, based on the famous French Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt created by (ugh) Anne Rice. Last name is an anagram of Dracula made to fit the 6-6 format.

Tagmea Eropyt: First name is an anagram for “Tea Mag”, and here’s the context = Me and a friend were discussing rapper names and the subject of abbreviations came up. My friend said “wouldn’t it be funny if the abbreviation in a rapper name was short for something completely unrelated, like, for example, the T in T-Mag wasn’t short for tiny but for tea ?” and it stuck with the character. Last name is an anagram for “Poetry” and the one I’m most proud of.

Tumblr Fandom: (This one is one of the few characters, beside Hussie’s that I didn’t create. It is based around a fantroll a now-deactivated tumblr user named “dickleer” made. The fact that I now use said character is in no way a form of demeaning towards the original creator, I simply liked the design of their fantroll a lot and wanted to do a similar one.)

Blaise Damesi: First name is just the name Blaise (to be pronounced as “Blaze”). Last name is an anagram of the word “Samedi” which means “Saturday” in french, but also refers to the Baron Samedi, the Loa of Death in voodoo beliefs.

Zelota Circeo: First name is the word “Zealot” in italian. Last name is the same as the enchantress Circeo, whom Ulysses met during his travels, as well as being a reference to “circus”, with her being a purpleblood.

Cheops Maliko: First name is a reference to the pyramid of Kheops, situated in Egypt. Last name is a variant of the arab word “malik”, meaning king / sovereign, with an added -o suffix.

Kranae Leviat: First name is a modification of the word “Kraken”. Last name is a modification of the word “Leviathan”.

For the character’s themes, here they are:

Wesson: Country

Yperos: Traditional music / Mythological odes

Delpix: Dubstep

Bankaz: Jazz / Swing

Ophius: Metal

Tatsel: Classical

Tagmea: Rap

Tumblr: Musical Memes / Pop

Blaise: Soul

Zelota: Opera

Cheops: Anime Music

Kranae: Shanties

I’ll make a separate post for the typing quirks and for the rest of the characters, tell me if you want to know more after this preview.

Count ‘em up: 100 things we announced at I/O ‘19

Another I/O is in the books! We played in sandboxes, watched eye-popping product demos and listened to AI-powered music. But the fun isn’t over! In case you missed it, here are 100 announcements we made at I/O:

Hardware

1. Hold the phone! Our new smartphones—the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL—hit the shelves this week, bringing together all the essential Google features at a lower price ($399 for the 5.6-inch display and $479 for the 6-inch model). 2. Good things come in threes, like Pixel 3a’s color options. Choose from Purple-ish, Clearly White and Just Black. 3. And no matter what color your phone is, it has the same great Pixel camera. Capture shots in portrait mode and HDR+, or use Night Sight to take magical photos in low light (think outdoor concerts, swanky restaurants or night hikes with friends). 4. To add to the creativity, Time Lapse is coming to Pixel 3a. Soon you can capture an entire sunset within a few seconds of video. 5. All-day battery, baby! The Pixel 3a charges seven hours of battery life in 15 minutes and full battery can last up to 30 hours. 6. Squeeze the Pixel 3a to get the Google Assistant to send texts, find directions, set reminders and a lot more—simply by using your voice. 7. Hi, who’s there? The Google Assistant’s Call Screen feature (available in English in the U.S. and Canada) gives more information about who’s calling before you even answer your phone. Best of all, it helps save you from robocalls once and for all. 8. The Pixel 3a is protected against new threats with three years of security and operating system updates. 9. It also comes with the custom-built Titan M chip to help protect your most sensitive data. 10. All Pixel phones will get a preview of AR in Google Maps. So the next time you're getting around town, you can see walking directions overlaid on the world itself, rather than looking at a blue dot on a map. 11. Say hello to Google Nest. We’re bringing the Home products and Nest brand together to create a helpful home. 12. We welcomed the newest member of the Google Nest family: Google Nest Hub Max. Hub Max has a 10-inch screen, premium stereo sound, a camera with built-in Nest Cam features and the power of Google Assistant. 13. Live Albums on Nest Hub Max lets you select pictures of family and friends from your Google Photos to be displayed on the screen. 14. The built-in Nest Cam helps you keep an eye on things at home. You can turn the camera on when you’re away and check on things right from the Nest App on your phone. 15. The camera on Hub Max also lets you make video calls and leave personalized messages with Google’s video calling app, Duo. 16. If you’re listening to music or watching a cooking tutorial, turn down the volume with a wave of your hand. With Gestures, you simply have to look at the Nest Hub Max and raise your hand to pause media. 17. The home view dashboard lets you control all your connected devices from one dashboard—and the Google Assistant now controls more than 30,000 smart devices from 3,500 brands. 18. Similar to Voice Match, you have the option to enable Nest Hub Max’s Face Match feature that recognizes who’s using the device and shares the most relevant information, like their calendar and estimated commute time. 19. We shared our new privacy commitments, explaining our security and privacy options for Google Nest products. 20. There’s a green light on the front of Hub Max that indicates when the camera is streaming. In addition, you have multiple controls to disable camera features, like the Nest Cam and Face Match. 21. Hub Max will be available in the U.S., U.K. and Australia this summer. 22. Google Nest Hub, formerly Google Home Hub, is now available in 12 more countries—Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain and Sweden. 23. And our prices are lower: Google Nest Hub available in the U.S. for $129, and starting today Google Home is $99 and Google Home Max is $299.

Assistant

24. The Assistant is now on more than one billion devices, available in more than 30 languages across 80 countries. 25. The next generation Assistant will run on-device and answer queries up to 10 times faster, with almost zero latency. It will come to Pixel phones later this year. 26. Keep the conversation going. Now with Continued Conversation, you can make several requests in a row without having to say “Hey Google” each time. 27. We’re extending Duplex to the web to help you complete tasks faster. Just ask the Assistant, “Book a car with for my next trip,” and it will figure out the rest. 28. Sound the alarm! You can now stop a timer or alarm that you set on Google Home speakers and Smart Displays by simply saying, “stop.” 29. Help is on the way! With a new feature called Personal References, the Assistant will better understand you and reference to the important things in your life. Say you’ve told the Assistant which contact “Mom” is. You can then ask, “Hey Google, what’s the weather like at my mom’s house this weekend?” and get the answer without any additional details. 30. Choose your next recipe to try, event to attend or podcast to listen to with Picks for You. This Assistant feature draws from past searches and other contextual cues to give you more personalized results. 31. Over the coming weeks, you’ll be able to access all of the helpfulness of the Assistant directly within Waze. 32. Take advantage of Google Assistant Driving Mode when you’re behind the wheel. The new dashboard automatically starts when you’re driving and displays the most relevant activities like navigation, messaging, calling and media. 33. It’s easier to use the Assistant to control your car remotely, so you can adjust your car’s temperature, check your fuel level or make sure your doors are locked without leaving the house. 34. Control your Assistant data and make privacy choices that are right for you from the “You” tab in your Assistant settings. 35. Ever Googled a “how-to” question? We’re giving content creators easy-to-use developer tools so in the coming months when you ask, “Hey Google, how do I install a dog door?” you’ll get a helpful step-by-step experience from a trusted source like DIY Networks. 36. The Assistant can now help you do specific things in some of your favorite apps. For example, you can say, “Hey Google, start my run in Nike Run Club.” 37. Game makers can now take full advantage of developing for Smart Displays' interactive screens, so you'll start seeing more games that combine voice, visuals and touch.

AI and ML

38. And the winner is…we unveiled the 20 Google AI Impact Challenge grantees who are using AI to address societal challenges. 39. We’ve made progress on flood forecasting in India. Now we can better use AI to predict flood timing, location and severity across 90 percent of India, and share that information with Google Public Alerts. 40. Two bands took the stage at I/O—with a little help from machine learning. Both YACHT and The Flaming Lips worked with Google engineers to create music with Magenta, our AI tool for artistic creativity 41. Check out our new PAIR Guidebook, an external toolkit that will help ML practitioners make better, user-centered decisions when building with AI. 42. We’re taking the same AI research that makes our products better and using it to enhance user privacy. Federated learning allows Google’s AI products to work better for you, and work better for everyone, without collecting raw data from your devices.

Google News and Search

43. Now it’s easier to stay in the know. The technology that powers Full Coverage in Google News is coming to Search to better organize search results for news-related topics and give you the context you need to understand a story. 44. When you search for a news topic, you’ll have the option to see different points of a story—from a timeline of events to the key people involved—and surface a breadth of content including articles, tweets and even podcasts. 45. In the coming months, we’ll start including podcasts in Google Search results so you can listen to podcasts directly from the search results page or save an episode for later.

Augmented Reality and Google Lens

46. Seeing is believing! Soon you’ll be able to view 3D objects right from Search and place them into your own space. 47. Lens now provides more visual answers by using AR to overlay useful information and content onto the things you see. For example, if you see a dish you’d like to cook in an upcoming issue of Bon Appetit magazine, you’ll be able to point your camera at a recipe and have the page come to life and show you exactly how to make it. 48. Lens can help you decide what to order. Just point your camera at the menu, and Lens highlights which dishes are popular, right on the menu. Tap on a dish to see photos and snippets of reviews from Google Maps. 49. Now, you can point your camera at text and Lens will automatically overlay the translation right on top of the original words—it works in more than 100 languages. 50. Say what? When you point your camera at text, Lens can now read it out loud. You can also tap on a specific word to search for its definition. This feature is launching first in Google Go, our Search app for first-time smartphone users.

Privacy

51. You’ll start seeing your Google Account profile icon appear more prominently across all Google products, so takes just one tap to access your privacy and security settings. 52. Now we’re making it easier to manage your data in Maps, the Assistant and YouTube (coming soon). For example, you'll be able to review and delete your location activity data directly in Google Maps, and then quickly get back to your directions. 53. New auto-delete controls for Location History and Web & App Activity allow you to choose to automatically and continuously delete your data. 54. We’re expanding Incognito mode—the option in Chrome that clears your browsing history after every session—to more of our products, including Maps. 55. Thanks to federated learning, Gboard has improved predictive typing as well as emoji predictions across tens of millions of devices. 56. We’ve built security keys directly into your Android phone, giving you easier and more convenient protection against phishing attacks. This is rolling out to all devices running Android 7.0 and above.

With the new Focus Mode, you can get things done without distraction, by selecting the apps you want to stay active and pausing everything you don't. 66. And to help children and families find a better balance with technology, we’re making Family Link part of every device that has Digital Wellbeing, starting with Android Q. 67. Signed, sealed, delivered! There’s a new way to deliver important updates. With Project Mainline, we can update core OS components without a full OS update. 68. All Android devices with Q—including phones, tablets, TVs, and Android Auto—are required to encrypt user data. 69. Some of these features are available today in Android Q Beta which is available on 15 devices from 12 manufacturers (in addition to all Pixel phones). 70. Android Q brings lots of new emoji, including 53 new non-binary designs for emoji that Unicode defines as "genderless.” 71. Buckle up!

New Post has been published on Fazeup

New Post has been published on https://www.fazeup.tk/2019/05/13-issues-you-should-know-in-tech-immediately/

13 issues you should know in tech immediately

Right here’s your each day tech digest, by the use of the DGiT Each day publication, for Thursday, Could 9, 2019!

1. The 64 million pixel downside: Samsung’s new method

The battles within the smartphone digicam world are being waged throughout many various parts: lenses for optical zoom or extensive angles, varied varieties of sensors and filters, and software program processing behind all of it that’s simply as essential because the hardware.

At this time the sensor battle is getting extra consideration, and there are some fascinating issues to speak about. Samsung has simply introduced new hardware: the ISOCELL Shiny GW1 digicam sensor, providing a 64 megapixel (MP) decision, simply as 48MP sensors turn into mainstream throughout the total vary of smartphones, from flagship to midrange to even some worth gadgets.

Right here’s why the race to greatest is confounding:

Sony has arguably made the world’s greatest picture sensors for a few years with its IMX vary – the most recent being the 48MP IMX536 sensor.

Paradoxically, Sony smartphones that use its personal sensors have by no means had the most effective cameras, as a result of it hasn’t invested in software program. (That’s as a result of Sony’s needed to depend on the B-team in cellular: its Mirrorless digicam division takes all of the assets and hasn’t been serving to, till very just lately, as we found.)

Apple’s iPhones have used Sony IMX sensors for years. In the meantime, new gadgets together with the OnePlus 7 Professional will use 48MP sensors, in accordance with leaks, more likely to be the Sony chip.

Why 48MP? Most telephones that use 48MP cameras use a way referred to as pixel-binning (defined right here) to take knowledge from Four pixels and mix it into one – so 48MP turns into a high-definition 12MP picture. Why? Higher all-around efficiency, together with low-light.

However not everybody agrees on this method.

The Pixel Three and 3a vary follow one lens, and one decrease megapixel sensor.

Google is counting on the 12MP Sony IMX363 digicam sensor for its single rear digicam shooter, which is taken into account kind of the most effective digicam expertise for most individuals.

What now from Samsung? Will it work?

Briefly, Samsung doesn’t wish to be left behind within the megapixel race (not less than as a provider). That doesn’t imply it’s the suitable race to be in, although.

Hadlee Simons explains the great elements of the brand new Samsung sensor: “the ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor offers a higher resolution than existing mobile cameras on the market, but maintains the same pixel size (0.8 microns) as current 48MP sensors.”

Samsung is touting pixel-binning expertise right here, bringing the total decision right down to a refined 16MP 1.6-micron pixel snap.

The sensor dimension is available in at 1/1.72-inch, greater than the 1/2-inch sensor dimension of 48MP sensor. Greater ought to imply higher: no compromise in pixel dimension on the sensor, letting in additional mild and element, however area is all the time at a premium in smartphones.

Samsung can be speaking up higher excessive dynamic vary (HDR) efficiency and claiming loads of different technical enhancements together with 480fps video recording for these extremely slow-mo movies.

However a part of the issue is that a single 64MP picture could also be as massive as 100MB in an uncompressed JPEG, and far greater as a RAW file.

That’s going to quickly eat telephone storage which signifies one other altering technical requirement: greater default storage, or not less than room for enlargement storage.

The brief model:

A 64MP digicam doesn’t mechanically imply that a smartphone will take unbelievable snaps. Once more, picture processing usually stands out as a differentiating issue amongst producers. Manufacturers with mediocre processing capabilities (trace: cheaper telephones, the place restricted cash is invested into images) are nonetheless more likely to serve-up disappointing pictures.

That once more makes the Google Pixel 3a such an necessary system on the $400 vary – rivals can be taking discover.

2. Right here’s one thing I didn’t count on to learn immediately: Samsung CEO confirms it would reveal a brand new launch date tomorrow for “fixed” Galaxy Fold (The Korea Herald). Koh stated, “We will not be too late,” which is fascinating wording.

3. “Google Fights Again”: Matthew Thompson explains how Google I/O got down to show that Google’s expertise is an efficient factor, and that it actually does serve everybody in the way in which an organization like Apple doesn’t (Stratechery).

4. ZTE Axon 10 Professional sequence hits Europe: Snapdragon 855, triple rear digicam for 600 euros (AA).

5. Huawei pronounces its first telephone with a pop-up selfie digicam (AA).

6. Sharp Aquos R3 introduced: A flagship with 120Hz show, two notches, in all probability solely in Japan (AA).

7. What might the ‘A’ stand for in Pixel 3A? Pixel 3Affordable, Pixel 3Aux? (The Verge).

8. Intel guarantees Mission Athena laptops may have 9 hours of real-world battery life (Engadget).

9. Germany opens first electrical freeway that lets vehicles draw energy from overhead cables (Enterprise Insider).

10. Amazon’s cashless, cashierless retailer now accepts money, has cashiers (Gizmodo).

11. How Beat Saber beat the percentages: VR’s largest success is a startup that has bought 1 million copies of a $20 sport, with out funding (TechCrunch).

12. ‘Avengers: Endgame’ will stream on Disney+ beginning December 11th (Deadline).

13. “You run an inconvenience retailer. What do you promote?” (r/askreddit).
