![]() GoToMyPC can provide access to Windows and macOS devices-and you can access those devices from Windows and macOS computers as well as any Android or iOS mobile device. Teamviewer also functions better than GoToMyPC. That's only slightly cheaper than GoToMyPC, but that lower price allows you to manage up to 200 computers, compared to just one for GoToMyPC. TeamViewer, another one of the pricier options, is free for home users and has paid plans starting at $418.80 per year. Both of those plans are a small fraction of what GoToMyPC charges, and in our tests RemotePC out-performed GoToMyPC. Remote PC costs $19.99 a year to control one computer or $79.50 a year to control up to 10 computers. This is quite expensive compared to the competition, particularly for personal use. The Pro version, which you need if you're going to access more than one of your own computers, starts at $792 per year for two computers and $396 per year per computer after that. The Personal plan starts at $420 per year and allows you to access a single computer. There is no free version of GoToMyPC, just a seven day trial. This is a legacy product that exists primarily to serve existing subscribers, and as such, we've lowered its score to reflect where it stands today compared with competing services. ![]() Every screenshot from our 2017 review of GoToMyPC is still accurate now, more than five years later, which speaks to the extent to which the app isn't getting updates. GoToMyPC still exists, but it's far from the most important player in the brand, which includes GoTo Meeting and other tools for business communication. ![]() The last time we reviewed GoToMyPC was in 2017, before rival company LogMeIn acquired it and added it to its GoTo-branded products. The problem is there are other applications that do the job better for less, while also making it easy to offer support for others. With that in mind, GoToMyPC is a straightforward tool if all you want to do is access your own computer, particularly the files on it. In other words, you install this software on your computer so that you can access it anywhere (go to your PC), but you cannot use it to access someone else's computer (go to their PC) unless they happen to be paying for the product. ![]() GoToMyPC, as the name implies, only works for the first use case. ![]() A Java-based client viewer is available for Linux, or for instances where the native client viewer can't be installed.There are two main uses for remote access software: accessing your own computer, so you can use the tools on it or grab files, or accessing other computers, typically so you can provide support. Three basic packages cover individual use, business and corporate with the latter two adding central management via the website for admins, usage reports for all users, limiting access to GoToMyPC features, multi-user access to a single host session, Wake-on-LAN support, and the setting and enforcement of security policies.Ĭurrently only Windows and MacOS X host and clients are available, along with iOS and Android support. GoToMyPC splits its configuration between account management on the website and the downloadable client options, which isn't as clean as having it all in one place, however one of the security options from account settings is two-factor authentication, providing for a one-time code sent to a user's phone to confirm authorisation.įurther to this, other welcome security features are included such as blanking the screen and locking the keyboard during session use, and locking the host on disconnect.Īs expected GoToMyPC sports many of the common features found among its peers - this includes shared clipboards, file transfer facilities, remote printing, and per-machine usage reports. The website for account management is secured with TLS while sessions are encrypted with 128-bit AES. An access code is still required for authentication, and this is stored with the host computer.Īs a result GoToMyPC both brokers handshake between machines and by default will attempt to setup a direct connection, falling back to a mediated connection if this isn't possible or if prevented by the client's security options. They can then start a session by downloading a separate viewer program and connecting. Instead, a user needs only login to the GoToMyPC website and they'll be presented with a list of machines where the host client is installed using their login. Continuing the trend GoToMyPC, developed by Citrix, also aims to make remote desktop a snap for users, and takes it a step further by not generating a unique ID that users need to connect to the host machine. ![]()

Both 2015’s Pillars of Eternity and its 2018 sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, are playable on console via Xbox Game Pass, and each provides a classically styled CRPG experience set in a completely unique world called Eora. The CRPG had fallen out of fashion in the 2000s, and Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity series is partially responsible for bringing the genre back in a big way. Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Obsidian Entertainment As such, it’s worth replaying or trying first the first time if you want to play an RPG, but can’t experience Baldur’s Gate 3 right now. While it’s a bit rough around the edges in certain aspects, New Vegas is still one of the best RPGs ever made. You can have endless fun exploring the world and creating experiences that feel personal to you while dealing with its eclectic cast of factions and characters. Like Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s a faithful follow-up to some classic CRPGs that give players a massive amount of choice as they complete their adventure however they see fit. The Xbox 360 version can even be played at 60 fps on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, thanks to the FPS Boost feature. Despite some in-game glitches that still persist, the Xbox 360 version of Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox Game Pass is just as enthralling of a role-playing experience as it was nearly 13 years ago. This game from Obsidian Entertainment and Bethesda Softworks - both of which are now owned by Microsoft - first released in 2010. Where Baldur’s Gate 3 may be the pinnacle of fantasy RPG games inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Fallout: New Vegas is that for postapocalyptic RPGs. ![]() ![]() ![]() And don’t make any cuts with your child still IN the costume!!!Ĭut the mouth at your child’s eye level. Remember to leave space for the mouth and eyes above the arm holes. You will probably want to slide the contraption over your child so you can gauge where the arms should go before you cut. You will then tape the poster board to the bowl with an obscene amount of tape.Ĭan you see how it’s coming together now? Great job, crafty friend! Keep going! (Are you swearing at me yet?)Ĭut holes for the arms. OR – have someone help you with this part! :) You are going to wrestle with that poster board and show it who’s boss while you try to tape that sucker closed before it flies back open again. This step needs to have a hidden camera while you perform it. Take enough poster board to wrap comfortably around your child (remember they will have to get this on and off – this can be tricky.). You could also use some of that purple hairspray stuff that’s easy to find around Halloween. Use your handy glue-gun and adhere the webbing to the bowl at random. Making your own costumes is technical business, you guys.) (I am suddenly aware of how many times I’ve already used the word “stuff” in this post. I then used it to help me push the “hair” through the bowl. I had a hard time getting the webbing to push through the bowl, so I went and grabbed a large paper clip and straightened it a bit. You could also use pipe cleaners or some other material to create the crazy hair. Push the spider web stuff through the holes. This step is optional, but if you’d like to keep the paint from scratching off the bowl more easily, you can apply some polyurethane. See, projects are FUN! (How are you doing so far?) You will feel cool and maybe like a bit of a badass while carrying out this step as well. If you drill on the bottom with the bowl upside down, it may crack. In other words, drill as shown below, from the inside of the bowl. ![]() I learned the hard way that this is easiest from the INSIDE OUT. When the paint is dry, drill holes through the bowl at random so you can pull the “hair” through. Like I totally know what I’m doing or something. I don’t know about you, but I feel kind of cool when I’m using spray paint. Scuff up the bowl with some sandpaper to help the paint adhere to it. Polyurethane (again – helpful but not necessary).Tuna cans or some other creative way to create eyes (you could cut down an oatmeal box).Two buttons per costume (I used large black ones).Purple marker to draw in eyes (or cut construction paper perhaps).Black mesh/see-through fabric (optional – this would cover the mouth).Tiny black mittens (omit if you’re not making the long, hanging arms).Purple fabric for the arms – we used something stretchy/comfortable (or skip this step and just have your kids wear purple long-sleeved shirts).Black fabric for the overalls (I used felt)… enough to wrap around your child’s body (you’ll also use a scrap for the “eye mask” part).Poster board for the body (you’ll probably need two pieces).How awesome is this Adult Gru Mask (see below) to complete your group’s look!

The Minion hello couldn't get any easier. Let’s start with the basics: Hello and good-bye are arguably two of the more commonly used words in any language. Here are some of the most famous minion lines translated to English: No need for a Minion language translator, we watched the movies several times to crack the code! (You can thank us later.) Now you and your friends can dress up with Minion makeup and act out your own scenes. ![]() So, what language do the minions speak, exactly? Some call their speak “minionese” and others refer to it as “banana language,” but according to Director Pierre Coffin, the Minion vernacular’s true roots stem from a combination of many languages including English, Spanish, Italian, and Korean, to name a few. Not only that – they’ve managed to steal the show without even speaking many words of decipherable English – it’s all part of their charm! Seriously, who doesn’t love watching little Minions dressed up as the Village People, singing and dancing to “YMCA?" in Despicable Me 2? Try to watch 90 minutes of countless shenanigans without cracking a smile – we dare you! While these little, jar-headed, yellow creatures were initially part of evil plots in the original Despicable Me movie, they’ve since won the hearts of children and adults everywhere.

Unfortunately, CareUEyes for Windows isn’t available for free. Once all features of CareUEyes are active, they can help improve sleep and significantly reduce vision problems. It also helps in reducing unnecessary flickering. CareUEyes adjusts the screen in such a way that the screen brightness and the brightness of the room are at the same wavelength. This is because manual adjustments aren’t always accurate. CareUEyes lowers the colour temperature of your screen so that it emits very little blue light.īright, as well as dark screens, can cause eye pain. Often, eye strain and headaches are a result of this blue light. This light has high energy and low wavelength, both of which decrease contrast and impact sharpness. When you use a computer, you are constantly facing a blue light. There are several benefits of using CareUEyes, but one of the most prominent ones is that it prevents eye strain. What are the benefits of using CareUEyes? If you would like to adjust the frequency of these notifications, you can do this as well.

As soon as any mode is activated, the screen colour becomes slightly yellow, thereby reducing the harmful blue light.įurthermore, the application has a sunset and sunrise feature, wherein different colour, brightness, and temperature are set for different times of the day. All of these options automatically filter the blue light coming from your screen and also alters the brightness. Once you complete CareUEyes download for Windows, you’ll come across a simple dashboard that provides you with 8 eye protection modes. In addition to this, CareUEyes download also works as a break reminder so that you can pause and take a rest before continuing work again. All of these settings are customisable so that users can change them as per their preference. It does this by adjusting the colour temperature, brightness, saturation, and contrast. The software ensures that the light coming from the screen doesn’t harm your eyes. All you need to do is install the application on your Windows computer, configure the settings, and continue using your PC as before. With its help, you can get rid of discomfort, eye fatigue, dry eyes, headaches, and more.

Saltwater incursion is already reshaping life in nations like Bangladesh, where one-quarter of the lands lie less than 7 feet above sea level. Sea level rise also harms the environment, as encroaching seawater can both erode coastal ecosystems and invade freshwater inland aquifers, which we rely on for agriculture and drinking water. Beaches that families have grown up visiting may be gone by the end of the century. Scientists predict that the United States will see a foot of sea level rise by 2050, which will regularly damage infrastructure, like roads, sewage treatment plants, and even power plants. The extent (and pace) of this change would devastate low-lying regions, including island nations and densely populated coastal cities like New York City and Mumbai.īut sea level rise at far lower levels is still costly, dangerous, and disruptive. Scientists predict that melting sea ice and glaciers, as well as the fact that warmer water expands in volume, could cause sea levels to rise as much as 3.61 feet by the end of the century, should we fail to curb emissions. In just 15 years, the Arctic could be entirely ice-free in the summer. As sea ice melts, darker ocean waters that absorb more sunlight become exposed, creating a positive feedback loop that speeds up the melting process. The Arctic is heating up twice as fast as anywhere else on earth, leading to the rapid melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets, where a massive amount of water is stored. The effects of climate change are most apparent in the world’s coldest regions-the poles. ![]() And in California alone, the annual area burned by wildfires increased 500 percent between 19. The number of large wildfires doubled between 19 in the western United States. This drier, hotter climate also creates conditions that fuel more vicious wildfire seasons-with fires that spread faster and burn longer-putting millions of additional lives and homes at risk. Drought can also create a positive feedback loop in which drier soil and less plant cover cause even faster evaporation. Already, climate change has pushed the American West into a severe “megadrought”-the driest 22-year stretch recorded in at least 1,200 years-shrinking drinking water supplies, withering crops, and making forests more susceptible to insect infestations. Hotter temperatures increase the rate at which water evaporates from the air, leading to more severe and pervasive droughts. And heat waves aren’t just uncomfortable-they’re the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. Even local news meteorologists are starting to connect strings of record-breaking days to new long-term trends, which are especially problematic in regions where infrastructure and housing have not been built with intensifying heat in mind. This change in global average temperature-seemingly small but consequential and climbing-means that, each summer, we are likely to experience increasingly sweltering heat waves. Here’s what you need to know about what we’re up against. And because climate change and rising inequality are interconnected crises, decision makers must take action to combat both-and all of us must fight for climate justice. Similarly, in the United States, it is most often low-income communities and communities of color that are on the frontlines of climate impacts. ![]() They have the fewest financial resources to respond to crises or adapt, and they’re closely dependent on a healthy, thriving natural world for food and income. Even though everyone is or will be affected by climate change, those living in the world’s poorest countries-which have contributed least to the problem-are the most climate-vulnerable. Understanding these impacts can help us prepare for what’s here, what’s avoidable, and what’s yet to come, and to better prepare and protect all communities. From raging wildfires and supercharged storms, its compounding effects can be felt today, outside our own windows. While these outcomes may still be avoidable, climate change is already causing suffering and death. If we don’t limit greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, the consequences of rising global temperatures include massive crop and fishery collapse, the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of species, and entire communities becoming uninhabitable. Climate change is our planet’s greatest existential threat. ![]() |
