Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano said that the migrants were crowded in an area controlled by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) beneath the Del Rio International Bridge, which carries traffic across the Rio Grande river into Mexico. The mayor of Del Rio, Texas declared a state of emergency on September 17 after more than 10,000 undocumented migrants, many of them Haitians, poured into the border city in a fresh test of President Joe Biden's immigration policy. US Customs and Border Protection agents guard the entrance to the Del Rio International Bridge, which is closed temporarily after an influx of migrants, at the US-Mexico border in Del Rio, Texas on September 17, 2021. Now we’re getting testimonies of people who have paid the smugglers as much as 4,000 dollars per person to be transported from San Andrés to Central America,” the captain said. “Originally, were charging between 1,000 and 1,500 dollars. This scene has been repeating itself with regularity around the Colombian San Andres Archipelago, located 775 kilometers (482 miles) northwest of mainland Colombia where the Colombian Coast Guard routinely intercepts boats loaded with migrants who pay smugglers to take them across the Caribbean.Īrriving in Central American countries like Nicaragua, the trip allows the migrants to avoid the perilous Darien Gap, a jungle region in Panama at the Colombian border that is also used by migrants trekking north with the hope of eventually reaching the United States.Ĭolombian Marine Corps Captain Octavio Gutiérrez, who serves in the San Andrés Archipelago, says migrants fly into the islands where they spend a night or two as they try to get in touch with smugglers. The footage was provided to CNN by the Colombian government. They are Venezuelan nationals, the Coast Guard later establishes. Powerful flashlights reveal a 32-foot, single-engine boat, crowded with immigrants - some of them small children - lying on the floor of the vessel. In the almost complete darkness before midnight in the Caribbean Sea, a scream suddenly pierces the crash of the waves and wind. ![]()

![]() ![]() A server version of the Mac Mini that is bundled with the Server edition of the OS X operating system was offered from 2009 to 2014. The fourth-generation model has remained available alongside this. The fifth-generation lineup, featuring Apple Silicon, was introduced in November 2020 in the original silver style. This model also has solid-state storage and replaces most of the data ports with USB-C sockets. The 2018 fourth-generation Mac Mini model has Thunderbolt, an Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU, and also changed the case's default silver for space gray. The third-generation, which was unveiled in June 2010, had a thinner, unibody aluminum case and an HDMI port, and was more readily positioned as a home theater device and an alternative to the Apple TV. It featured more advanced components and internal software updates, and it switched the CPU to the Intel Core Solo. In February 2006, Apple announced the second-generation lineup. In January 2005, the original Mac Mini was introduced with the PowerPC G4 CPU. The machine was initially branded as "BYODKM" (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse) as a strategic pitch to encourage users to switch from PCs running operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux. ![]() Since launch, it has shipped without a display, keyboard, and mouse.

![]() ![]() I would say though that there's maybe too many situations where holding the trigger towards the enemy without precise aiming is more effective with the AR then accurate precise bursts are.īut fixing that doesn't mean "nerfing" the AR or giving it less range: It'd be selectively making full auto hold-down-the-trigger spray and pray worse (such as making it so spread/recoil builds up faster after the first 4-5 shots in a row), and actually making short bursts BETTER, such as by making it so spread/bloom reduces faster when you aren't firing, or by ESPECIALLY reducing the recoil/spread on the first 3-4 shots in a row: AĪs of now there's so much recoil when you first bush the trigger that short bursts shakes your screen all over and makes you less accurate then if you were spraying. These are focused on delivering key features, quality-of-life updates, and bug fixes alongside the unreleased content from last year. Challenges are a feature of Halo: The Master Chief Collection added with the launch of Season 2: Spark.Challenges can be earned in all gameplay modes of The Master Chief Collection across all games, and upon completion provide the player rewards of XP for ranking up and Season Points to spend on armor customization items such as armor permutations for Halo: Reach and skins for Halo: Combat. The AR just isn't helpless against them now, so if you aren't totally wildly spraying and the other player misses a bunch of their shots, you have a chance to edge it out. As seasonal content updates are no longer the update model for the MCC, we are aiming to deliver multiple updates sprinkled throughout 2022. This year, with Halo Infinite on the horizon, well be shifting these to be monthly. ![]() People of Reddit : Why do you think there is such a huge backlash against Black. For you and /u/ZenithPeverell, I think the AR is mostly fine as is: Yes, it's range capable unlike Halo CE-4 where it was useless past a few feet, but the sidekick, BR, mangler, commando (well, if you can manage to land the shots), Stalker Rifle, and other mid range guns are still better then it past close range. Rage induced opinion: Halo MCC matchmaking makes the game unplayable. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that MultiVersus is still technically in an open beta state where features of the game aren't finished throws a wrench in there too. That's much closer to what we're seeing with MVS' numbers compared to our usual fighting affairs, but there's still a noticeable gap there (though again that's comparing weeks to whole months, so it's not perfect either).Īs something of a new beast in the space of fighters, it's difficult to fully gauge what the current numbers mean about the game's trajectory. We did, however, attempt to draw some similarities between MVS and another f2p cross-platform game with a big initial push, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.įrom Master Duel's peak at 262,333 players on Steam through its second month, the game's average playerbase fell by around 67%. ![]() Those titles were full-priced $60 games, however, and MultiVersus is free-to-play and widely available for just about anyone to try - so it makes sense that more people would try MVS out when it was blowing up before dropping off after a few days / weeks.īrawlhalla, despite being free-to-play as well, isn't good for comparisons either because that game actually grew larger and larger over time. Other fighting games like Street Fighter 5 and Guilty Gear Strive both saw a drop of about 50% from their peaks through their second month. These comparisons won't be fully congruent since Steam Charts doesn't get that granular with data in titles that have been out for months / years, but it's the best we can do. It's just the level of how much MVS did go down that we're not as much used to seeing. Now, big player drops after the first month are expected in any video game that initially peaks at launch. The average MultiVersus peaks over the game's first week were a whopping 142,920 concurrent players, which means only about 20% of the amount of that crowd are continuing to regularly go online. That's still basically double the player count of the second-most popular fighter on Steam, Brawlhalla, but it does not stack up close to when it was breaking records a month ago. We ended up examining MultiVersus' performance on Steam over its first week after the open beta went live to all compared to this past week, and there've been some pretty significant changes.Įven with the release of Morty just days ago, MVS' daily peaks over the past week averaged around 29,608 users. It can help people who make content see what people are playing and catch on to cool, surprising games that may not be getting the attention they deserve on websites like this one.While we unfortunately can't access the player data of console users, Steam Charts thankfully allows us to get an idea of who is sticking around at least on PC / Steam. ![]() It's helpful for people who make and publish games to see what's doing well or isn't, maybe allowing them to fund games and genres they might not have previously planned to back. ![]() While you may not care much about this if you're not a numbers dork (like me, sorry), the real benefit of better data is that people who are can watch game sales trends with a little more accuracy and draw useful conclusions from it. Unfortunately, the overall monthly top-release harts are still ordered randomly, making it harder to pinpoint best-selling games month-to-month. All of this is done by revenue, so free-to-play games with microtransactions are included, and extra bits like DLC and season passes are factored in. You can also sort charts by region for regional best-sellers. There are also lists of the overall best-selling games right now and weekly top sellers by revenue, with an indication of changes to the chart from week to week, as well as how many weeks a game's been out, how much it costs, and whether or not it's on sale. The main page shows the top-selling games on Steam right now, as well as the most-played moment-to-moment by player count. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seeing how this was Dan’s stage and you want to listen more to him than anyone else, I took out all that mentioned above from those involved to make it easier for you to listen along with most of any audio I fumbled through that would take away your enjoyment of the storytelling experience. Now someone may ask the question, why is the audio two hours and 55 minutes long?

![]() ![]() You will need to type in your home network’s external IP address, external port number (that maps to OpenSprinkler through port forwarding), followed by a supported HTTP command (check API document listed below), device password, and required parameters. This is where you need to input the HTTP command. that), search for ‘Maker’, and click on ‘Make a Web Request’. This means every time IFTTT receives a text message with that particular phrase, it will trigger an action. Then input the tag phrase, such as zone1on. Then select a trigger method, such as ‘Send IFTTT an SMS tagged’. Input your phone number and a verification pin. this) - for example, search ‘sms’ and select SMS as a trigger. At the moment you don’t need the key, so you can ignore that for now.Ĭlick on ‘My Recipes’ at the top and then ‘Create a Recipe’. You will walk through a simple tutorial to learn the basics of IFTTT.Ĭlick on ‘Channels’ at the top, then search for ‘Maker’ and under ‘Developer Tools’ select the Maker channel, and click on ‘Connect’. Go to, click on ‘Sign up’ to register an account. Now I have explained how IFTTT works, let’s go ahead and create some recipes. I know that port forwarding is gradually phasing out in favor of cloud-connected devices, but for now we will have to stick with port forwarding. ![]() This requires you to set up port forwarding so that IFTTT can use the public IP address to reach the device. Second, to use the devices for action, IFTTT needs to reach the device from the Internet. Neither OpenSprinkler nor OpenGarage has firmware support currently to send web requests to IFTTT, you can’t use them as a trigger yet, but work is underway to add such support to the firmware. First, to use the device as a trigger, the firmware needs to connect to IFTTT. As both OpenSprinkler and OpenGarage implement HTTP GET commands, they can naturally work with IFTTT through the Maker channel. This way, when it receives an associated trigger, it can send a command to OpenSprinkler to start an action. Conversely, to use a Maker action, you can set IFTTT to send a web request to your gadget. This way, when OpenSprinkler starts to run any program, or receives weather changes, it can send a web request to IFTTT, which further triggers a text message or push notification to your phone. For example, to use a Maker trigger, just have your gadget send a web request to IFTTT, and hook it up with an action, such as text message, to enable push notification. This makes it possible to extend IFTTT support to your own DIY hardware gadgets. HTTP commands) as triggers and/or actions. IFTTT provides support to what’s called a ‘Maker Channel’, allowing you to use generic web requests (i.e. How does IFTTT send or receive web requests? Because it’s so convenient, it has become very popular among Internet of Things. With IFTTT, you can easily set up recipes like: ‘if temperature drops below xx degrees, send me a text message’, ‘if there is a new post on my facebook, send me a push notification’, or in our case ‘if Alexa receives a specific phrase, trigger a sprinkler action’. There are also many actions, for example, send a text message, send an email, post a message on facebook, or in our case, send an web request to OpenSprinkler. There are many triggers, for example, weather changes, sensor value changes, a new text message, a new twitter message, a new photo upload, or in our case, an Alexa phrase. With IFTTT, you can set up what’s called ‘recipes’, which hook up ‘triggers’ with ‘actions’. If you’ve never heard of IFTTT, it stands for If This Then That. Below let me first explain how IFTTT works. ![]() Thanks to Mike for sending me this tip in the first place. For now, the guide below will allow you to trigger actions on OpenSprinkler and OpenGarage with your existing firmware.īefore I proceed, I should give credits to Mike Szelong, who has purchased both OpenSprinkler and OpenGarage, and made both work with Alexa through IFTTT. We will be building support for IFTTT into the firmware soon, to allow for additional features like push notification. I will briefly walk you through the setup process. For example, say ‘ Alexa, trigger open sprinkler zone 1‘, or ‘ Alexa, trigger my garage door‘. I just discovered something exciting recently and want to share with you: it’s now possible to use IFTTT with OpenSprinkler and OpenGarage and because IFTTT support Amazon Echo (Alexa), you can now speak voice command to trigger sprinkler actions. ![]() ![]() Why?īecause everything is so goddam pointless. It is the scariest manga that I've ever read, it beats out the "disturbing" scary of Junjo Ito, the "gory" scary of your stereotypical apocalypse survival horror manga, and the "existential crisis" scary of psychological horror, it comes close to jumpscare shock. However, even I can recognize that this manga is amazing. This is not a manga for people like me, who value meaning, ambition, purpose, ya get it. While I won't tell you not to read it, Just remember this warning and expect to have almost no questions answered. To conclude, I want to remind you that this really was a great story before the sudden end. ![]() I CANNOT possibly believe that this author thought this was a good or even satisfactory ending. In reference to the MC, the aforementioned character comments on how "it's so sad for an author to be forced to end his manga in a way that he wouldn't have wanted".Īre you serious? it's almost as if the author knew that his manga was going to have a garbage ending. One of the characters introduced towards the end of the story is a fan of the MC's manga (the MC is an author of an obscure, unpopular manga before the zombie apocalypse). One of the most ironic parts of this manga is found in one character's lines. You become attached to these characters and intrigued by the plot, all for nothing. The ending reads like a slap in the face, as if the author is laughing at the foolish reader who wasted their time reading all 264 chapters just to get trolled. gets completely tossed out the window as if it never mattered in the first place. All of the questions that you had, all of the big mysteries that were just starting to reach clarity, all the amazing events and concepts that the author was building up to reach some spectacular culmination. Right after the final climax (i had no idea that it was the final climax, mind you), suddenly the threat is completely gone JUST BECAUSE, the hero decides "oh well!" and just goes off. Disregarding the reasoning, the truth is in the paper: THIS ENDING ANSWERS NOTHING, GOES NOWHERE, AND SATISFIES NO ONE. Perhaps the author decided that he did not care about his work anymore, and tried his hardest to sabotage all that he had built. I'm just going to say first off that I don't know the circumstances behind this ending, whether the publisher decided to axe the manga, or they forced the writer to reach an ending as quickly as possible at the expense of a real conclusion. I couldn't stop reading, and before I knew it, I had reached the 'end'. It had very real characters who you could empathize with, a compelling story that always had you wondering what was around the corner, and the author even took a very interesting turn regarding the origin and motive of the zombie virus that I was eager to learn more about. Unfortunately, it was just too good to be true. if that last chapter hadn't been uploaded and I was under the impression that the manga still had many more chapters to go, I would have easily given this a 9, or maybe even a 10. ![]() ![]() ![]() I didn't even realize that the manga was completed myself until I got to the end. Little did I know, the other reviews were written before the manga was completed. When I started reading this manga, I had fairly high expectations going off what I'd heard from people and the other reviews here. ![]() ![]() If a command to a Home Connect device could not be executed, the Miniserver will notify you via System Status.
