Although your files are technically encrypted, BitLocker doesn’t handle them on a file or folder level. Windows encryption tools BitLocker is built into select versions of Windows. ![]() I use full-disk LUKS (including root partition) on my laptop, and it's gone through many fscks without problems.Īt any rate, you are going to perform at least nightly full backups, aren't you? So a crash should not wipe out a lot of work. Here’s a look at a few full disk encryption options that can take the sting out of TrueCrypt’s sudden disappearance. Encryption is always per sector, and disks are written per sector, so usually you'll lose any sectors that weren't written properly, with or without encryption. So I would recommend LUKS (though Truecrypt is a viable option as well).ĭoes TrueCrypt of LUKS offer the best stability / recovery in an event of a crash? At any rate, most Linux FS have no Windows driver anyway. But that is really only relevant for portable drives/media. The only advantage I can see for Truecrypt is that its Windows support is better, so it's easier to mount a Truecrypt partition under Windows. I'm not even sure if TrueCrypt can encrypt the root partition at all. Setting this up by hand can be a bit tricky (though doable), so distro integration helps a lot.Īt least Debian and Ubuntu offer encrypted root via LUKS in the standard installer, so that's a point for LUKS. For security reasons, you almost certainly want to encrypt all partitions (including /), which is called "encrypted root". This is definitely based on emotions and not in fact, so Veracrypt is at no fault.Well, as other have pointed out, LUKS is generally better integrated into current distributions. One fear I have is that since Veracrypt is not built-in, it is much more likely to get corrupted and lead to data-loss. Is this a mistake? Other than being open-source, is Veracrypt better in some way? Performance? Security? I considered using Veracrypt and although I love its container encryption feature, I admittedly did not give its FDE a chance because I figured MS's implemented would be more streamlined, since it was baked directly into the OS. The TrueCrypt standing page has details on how to to that. You create a VHD/VHDX and then use Bitlocker to encrypt that. ![]() I am currently using Bitlocker on Windows 10 Pro to encrypt my system drives. If you used a TrueCrypt Volume to keep your personal files in that you mounted/unmounted on demand, you can do the same with Bitlocker. Also for future consideration - this kind of tech is constantly being updated (TPM 1.2 vs 2.0 for example), so my OCD would go hay-wire if I wasn't running the latest & greatest. I know it's only $15, but honestly it's just one more thing to pay for, do, and install. We decided to compare the features and performance of both solutions. Does having TPM have any other benefits I am not thinking of? TrueCrypt is open source and offers even more flexibility. Is it all that bad if I don't have a TPM installed? I have the recover key(s) locked down in another fashion. TPM basically locks down the encryption if the user is removing the HD from the system. We in the open source community need to devote more resources and money to having this audits done, which is occurring now. I searched Ars, I Googled and wanted to make sure I understood this correctly: While truecrypt has not be audited yet, the fact that is can be makes it 100000000x better than Bitlocker, there is the abilty independently audit, with out the permission or NDA of the project. By chance, I stumbled upon some TPM modules on Amazon and was considering purchasing one. However, the performance penalty is quite acceptable, and. ![]() I used group policy to bypass the TPM requirement and up until now used it without even knowing was TPM was. Bitlocker, unlike TrueCrypt, supports TRIM (leaves empty parts empty and unencrypted). Running real-time encryption on your system drive has a performance impact, whether you're using Microsoft's BitLocker or TrueCrypt 6.3a.

The View menu lets you turn on and off the markers and grid from the display as well as change your zoom level. The first three digits form the checksum, and they are calculated automatically by gLabels. In the above screenshot, the ISBN barcode includes text, a checksum, and the barcode. For barcode objects you can choose from a dozen barcode formats. An image object lets you put on the label a bitmap image like a PNG or JPEG or a vector image in SVG format. GLabels supports text, box, line, ellipse, image, and barcode objects. Among the properties for a text object you can set are the style, which includes the font, size, color, alignment, and spacing the size and position of the object and whether the text should have a shadow effect applied. Here, I have added text to the top of my DVD label and a barcode to the bottom. Once you select your media type you are taken back to the initial window, only now your current label is shown in the left side of the window with the selected object’s properties shown on the right, as in the screenshot below. To use a new media type when you create a new label, set the category to User Defined, and gLabels will show all your custom templates. ![]() After the layout page you can apply the wizard and your new template is saved. This final layout screen, shown in the second screenshot below, is the most complex, because you have to move the individual objects (DVD labels in this case) into the precise positions where they should appear on the printed page. For some media you might need two, if for instance you have a left and right page design for special labels. Most of the time you will only need one layout - for example, when printing DVD labels. Finally you are asked how many layouts this media type needs (one or two), then asked to position the individual label objects on the paper. Depending on that selection, you will then be shown a page letting you fine-tune the label, as in the first screenshot below. The second page asks you for the page size of the label the third page lets you select between rectangular, round, or CD/DVD labels. On the first page it asks you to enter the brand, part number, and a description for the new media type. If gLabels doesn’t know about your media type, you can tell the program about it by selecting File -> Template Designer to invoke a new media type wizard. By far the quickest way to filter is by selecting the brand of paper you have, because this greatly limits the selection shown in most cases. For example, selecting business cards from the Category combo box will cause CD/DVD media not to be shown in the list. The three combo boxes toward the top of the window let you filter the media shown in the list to help you find the media that you have. Selecting File -> New from the menu or clicking on New in the toolbar brings up the media type selection dialog, which lets you choose which paper you are printing onto. If your paper is not already supported, the application provides a template designer to help you set up gLabels once for your desired paper and reuse your new formatting template for future projects. gLabels includes templates for many paper types, so you don’t have to worry about offsets and formatting and can concentrate on the content of the labels. GLabels is a GNOME application that’s designed to let you quickly print business cards and other labels, including those for CD-ROMs and DVDs. CDDB lets you enter a disc ID from an audio CD and find out the names of the tracks on the disc and other metadata.

Despite the fact that Slender Man is a fictional character, the game has achieved immense popularity due to its psychological impact and the fear that it instills in the players. ![]() The Slender Man is a tall, faceless creature dressed in a black suit, and he often appears when the player collects too many page scraps or stays in a single place for too long. The game follows the same disturbing premise where you are alone in a dark and eerie forest, and you have to collect page scraps scattered throughout the environment while avoiding being killed by Slender Man. ![]() It is a complete remake of the original game, Slender: The Eight Pages, which was released in 2012. While it's far from the best general horror game ever made, it's a must-play for fans of the Slender Man subgenre, and the most ambitious take on the new urban legend that we've seen in gaming yet.Slender: The Eight Pages REMAKE (v0.1.6) is one of the most popular horror games to hit the market in recent years. While many of the other Slender Man games essentially amount to one-note, adrenaline-spiking experiences best played with a roomful of friends passing the controller around, Slender: The Arrival actually tries to draw you in to an affecting story, adding personal stakes and specificity to what can often feel like a boilerplate experience. While the atmosphere and vibe remains the same - you're all alone with a flashlight, and boy are you in trouble if the Slender Man catches you - the player's goals and the enemy's behavior are frequently changing depending on what level of the game you're on, keeping things tense throughout the playthrough. But for your first one-on-one game of high-stakes tag with the Slender Man? No, absolutely not.Īs might be expected, Slender: The Arrival is just about the most polished game in the entire digital Slender Man oeuvre, sporting a lot more gameplay variety than its fan-made freeware contemporaries. Is it worth playing? Maybe eventually, just to see a buggy variant on the classic Slender gameplay. It's functionally a copy of what came before, so how could it turn out to be so inferior? The devil is in the details, and the details here are all strange.īuggy and lacking polish, Night Shadows is full of so many little wonky graphical and gameplay aspects - from cascading autumn leaves that fall impossibly from the sky, physical objects you can walk right through, and an odd green wavy effect alerting you to Slender Man's presence instead of the typical static buzz - that the game actually loops back around to being bizarrely entertaining, precisely because of its unpredictable design. Developed and published by Basilic Apps, Night Shadows takes almost every move it makes from the playbook Slender: The Eight Pages established: get in the woods, use your flashlight, grab some shiny things, run for your life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Considering this limitation, some recent studies in Korea have varied the number of competing talkers as background noise of ANL measure. In this babble noise, information of speech masker is rarely understood, as well as the temporal fluctuations in the signal are substantially reduced than what is observed from a single-talker noise. The follow-up ANL studies have mostly presented 8-talker babble noise as the only background noise. Although similar ANL results were obtained from those different noises, the meaningfulness of speech masker has not been focused in this study. In the original ANL study, ANLs were compared across five different noise stimuli such as babble, speech spectrum, traffic, drill, and music noise. One of the important issues in the ANL studies would be a lack of studies that focused on the meaningfulness of background speech. Given the additive binaural and directional benefits for speech recognition in noise, the present study compared ANL values between monaural and binaural amplification for directional microphone hearing aid users. ![]() Hornsby and Ricketts directly compared sentence recognition thresholds of sixteen hearing aid users using symmetric and asymmetric directional hearing aid fittings, and found that binaural processing with directional mode maximized the speech understanding in noise. Numerous previous studies on the binaural advantage for hearing-impaired listeners have confirmed that the binaural and directional microphone advantages are additive. reported directional benefit to the noise acceptance. used omnidirectional mode for their hearing aids although another ANL study of Freyaldenhoven et al. All the 39 listeners in Freyaldenhoven et al. , what would make a non-significant difference between monaural and binaural amplification despite a well-documented strong binaural advantage? One of the possible hypotheses is the type of microphone for hearing aids. Then, in the study of Freyaldenhoven et al. Since the basic concept that binaural amplification provides binaural summation, binaural squelch, and binaural redundancy as well as eliminates the head shadow effects and deprivation of the unaided ear has been numerously reported, the finding of Freyaldenhoven et al. The results showed that the ANL differences between monaural and binaural amplification did not reach statistical difference. investigated the effects of monaural and binaural amplification on ANLs of the 39 binaural hearing aid users. Research has shown that the ANL remains relatively consistent over time, and is not influenced by listeners' age, hearing sensitivity, gender, or speech perception in noise performance. Since the individuals with lower ANLs (greater acceptance of background noise) were more likely to become successful hearing aid users than listeners with higher ANLs, an importance of ANL measure has been emphasized for clinical purpose. In an earlier study with a large sample size (n=191), the ANLs obtained without hearing aids were effective to predict success of 84.8% accuracy for the hearing aid users. ![]() The previous studies have shown that the individual ANLs were more indicative of successful hearing aid use whereas speech perception measures failed to accurately predict the hearing aid success. Unlike the measurement of the ability to repeat the target speech presented in noise, namely speech-in-noise test, Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) testing was developed to quantify an individual's allowable signal-to-noise ratio when listening to and following a target story in babble noise. also found a weak relationship between speech recognition scores and self-assessed communication performance. A longitudinal study of hearing aid effectiveness by Bentler et al. Conventional speech recognition testing in quiet has been frequently used as a part of pre-fitting hearing aid test battery, although there is little evidence of the effectiveness in predicting hearing aid outcomes. A major problem for most hearing aid users is understanding speech in background noise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some people are unable to handle rejection and failure, and those are normally the ones who only last a year or two (or less) in the business. ![]() The key word being, realistic!

Setting realistic goals is an absolute in real estate. While possible, it’s a very long shot that this is actually what happens for new real estate agents. ![]() Many new real estate agents come into the business having visions of being the top real estate agent in their office in their first year. Having unrealistic expectations is a very common mistake made by new real estate agents entering the business, but also, a very common mistake made by buyers and sellers. What Do You Expect to Accomplish in Real Estate? Having Unrealistic Expectations Often Leads to Failure in Real Estate! Consider what your expectations will be before obtaining a real estate license! These “dues” are generally a yearly expense. ![]() Like the licensing course, the cost varies from state-to-state, but generally will range between $800-$1200. Each real estate board is different, however, there will be costs associated with joining, sometimes known as “dues.” These costs can include things such as fees to use the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), fees to the State’s Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. Bottom line, there likely will be additional “start-up” costs once you find a broker to “hold your license,” and it’s important to find out exactly what the fees and charges will be, so ask! Just like it is so important that a buyer or seller hire the “correct” real estate agent, it’s as important when considering a career in real estate, you select the “correct” broker for your situation!Īfter finding a sponsoring broker, the next step is joining the local real estate board. Each broker will also have different commission splits and agreements with their agents, often based on what their fees and charges are. These fees can include items such as a “desk fee,” charges for copies, or charges for an office. Every real estate company has different monthly fees, quarterly fees, yearly fees, etc. Once the real estate license is obtained, the costs start adding up. After obtaining a real estate license, the next step is finding a sponsoring broker or real estate company who will “hold your license,” or simply put, hire you. After passing the 75 hour course and exam, a state exam must be passed with a score of 70% or greater. The cost for licensing courses, generally, ranges between $450-$600 for the course hours and text books. The 75 hour course ends with a final examination. For example, New York State requires that a 75 hour licensing course is completed. Each state, town, and area will have different costs and rules associated with getting a real estate license, but are fairly similar. Thinking about the costs involved in getting into real estate is an extremely important thing to consider before doing so! It’s fairly inexpensive to obtain a real estate license. What “Start-Up” Costs Are Involved in Real Estate? Here are some of the most important things to consider beforehand! There are many things that need to be taken into consideration before getting a real estate license. There are many things that a successful real estate agent does on a daily basis, that the general public doesn’t know about! Selling real estate is more than driving clients around town and opening doors. It’s been said many times by new real estate agents, “I like looking at houses, so I’ll be a good real estate agent.” Another one is, “I watch HGTV and watch all sorts of real estate TV shows, so I know I’ll be a good Real Estate Agent!” This is wrong as well. Many new agents don’t last long in the business because they don’t stop and think what exactly is needed to be successful in the business. New real estate agents enter the business on a daily basis and real estate agents leave the business on a daily basis. Many have “Illusions of Grandeur!” Simply put, this is wrong. As a real estate agent you are the hero when you bring a seller a full price offer on their home that you are selling.īeing a real estate agent is often seen by many as someone who has an easy job and makes boatloads of money. The chance to give a first time home buyer the keys to their new home is priceless. As a real estate agent, you are helping buyer’s and seller’s with one of the largest transactions, if not the largest, they will ever experience in their life.
