![]() ![]() Google shut down its Revolv wireless hub in April 2016 and had to refund customers their money. NetGear, for example, discontinued its VueZone wireless home security video cameras in 2016 and shut down the cloud service, making the devices completely inoperable. It's also happened with completely healthy companies that decide a product line is no longer profitable. It's not just devices from companies that go insolvent, though. The device could no longer talk to the Rdio service, which also went belly-up in the same timeframe. Similarly, in December 2015, the Aether Cone, a smart speaker not unlike the Amazon Echo, was lobotomized and became a dumb Bluetooth speaker when the company's venture capital resources dried up. ![]() ![]() For instance, in March of last year, the Jibo robot ceased to function when its accompanying cloud service ceased operation. ![]() This scenario has happened far more than what is happening with Sonos. The availability of open firmware is essential when a manufacturer of such devices becomes insolvent. However, what was jarring about the way Sonos approached this end-of-product support for some of its devices is that it also affected products that have been recently introduced, such as the Beam connected soundbar. The reason why Sonos initially decided to end support is that these first-generation products lack sufficient processing power and storage to accommodate new features.Įnd of service is relatively normal for consumer electronics products that are five years old or more, particularly personal computers and mobile devices. SEE: 5G: What it means for IoT (ZDNet/TechRepublic special feature) | Download the free PDF version (TechRepublic) How Sonos handles end-of-life product support Users who trade in older Sonos systems immediately get a 30 percent discount-but their older hardware immediately enters a 21 day countdown before being put in “ recycle mode.” Products in recycle mode can’t be re-used or repurposed without Sonos’ permission-a wasteful outcome for a program Sonos claims was designed to minimize environmental impact.On Thursday, January 23, following a backlash from customers and the technology media, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence authored a corporate blog post apologizing for this end of support and stated that the company would, in fact, support its older products with bug and security fixes beyond May of 2020 even if new feature updates were not possible. Sonos’ second option, its trade-in program launched last October, came under fire just last month for being wasteful. The first option potentially opens customers up to security headaches in an era where internet of things devices are routinely hacked. Or users can trade in the older gear while nabbing a 30 percent discount on the purchase of a new Sonos system. In a blog post, Sonos says owners of these legacy systems have two options: they can simply keep using the products, understanding they won’t receive new features, bug fixes, or software and security updates. Users that have shelled out hundreds or thousands of dollars for smart speakers that still work didn’t take the news particularly well. “Legacy products were introduced between 20 and, given the age of the technology, do not have enough memory or processing power to sustain future innovation,” the company’s email claims. In the email, the company says that certain “ legacy” systems will stop receiving security and software updates starting in May. The latest example comes courtesy of Sonos, which this week informed customers in an email that it would no longer be supporting certain speaker systems. Instead, we’re shelling out big bucks for products that can easily lose features or worse-stop working entirely on the whim of a corporation. In the modern internet era, it’s increasingly clear that consumers no longer actually own the things we buy. ![]()

![]() ![]() Microemulsions form spontaneously and are thermodynamically stable. Nanoemulsions are nano-sized emulsions manufactured to improve the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The compound may be given as a tablet, capsule, granule, or powder for oral administration. ![]() Fat emulsions serve as dietary complements for patients who cannot get the required fat solely from their diet. Intravenous and parenteral emulsions may be used for nutritive therapy applications when a patient is unable to consume food or receive nutrition. They are used to make medications more palatable, to improve their effectiveness via dosage control of active ingredients, and to provide better aesthetics for topical drugs such as ointments. Emulsions allow the encapsulation of an active ingredient in the dispersed phase to protect it from degradation and preserve its activity in a sustained manner. These emulsions are called creams, ointments, balms, pastes, films, or liquids, depending on their oil-to-water ratios, the addition of other additives, and their intended administration route. These are usually oil and water emulsions, albeit dispersed. Thus, hydrophilic surfactants foster O/W emulsions, whereas lipophilic surfactants promote W/O emulsions.Įmulsions are frequently used in pharmaceuticals, personal hygiene products, and cosmetics. Usually, the phase in which the surfactant exhibits the greatest solubility is the continuous phase. Industries use emulsifying agents, eg, surfactants, to maintain a static structure. Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable as both the dispersed and continuous phases can revert as separate phases, oil, and water, by fusion or the coalescing of droplets. In contrast, the emulsion has two liquid components that are initially immiscible with each other.Įmulsions, as liquids, do not demonstrate a static internal structure. The critical difference between a colloid and an emulsion is that colloid can form when any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid) combine with a liquid. A colloid is a mixture of a compound that is in a solid, liquid, or gas state and a liquid. Emulsions are a sub-class of colloids, which are two-phase systems of matter.Īlthough the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used indistinctly, emulsion applies only when both dispersed, and continuous phases are liquids. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is nothing to set up and nothing to configure.

For example, if the option "Case Sensitive Words" is disabled, then for the text "Run, Forrest, run" the program will display one duplicate "run". You can also choose in the options whether a case-sensitive search should be used. This mode can be enabled via the "Show All Duplicate Copies" option. In the example with "run, Forrest, run, run!" the first word "run" has two additional copies so the output is "run, run". The second mode detects all duplicate copies of a word. ![]() There was also mention about changing the ID of a repository When I tried locating the some of the files it shows duplicates, one with a file size of 0 and the other with varying file sizes. This mode can be enabled via the "Show Duplicates Once" option. I’ve been browsing around the form and have also read Fix missing chunks. For example, in the text "run, Forrest, run, run!", the output will be just the word "run" as it's the only word that appears in the text multiple times. The first mode detects only the first duplicate copy of each word and prints a list of unique duplicated words to the output. There are two modes for finding and displaying repeated words. The program quickly scans through the text and displays all such words in an easy-to-read list format. For example, in the text "brilliant, simply brilliant", the word "brilliant" is a repeated word. A repeated word is a word that appears in a text more than once. ![]() With this online tool, you can extract repeated words from the given text. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've had Zortam MP3 Media Studio for about two years. ![]() So I purchased this cheap one for 15 dollars and none the less it works great and I have no issues with it.

Installing it was very quick, I download it only for my windows 7 pc. Not the way that it looks, because they look completely different but the way that it operates and how simple the program is to get what you need out of it. Zortam MP3 Studio was very similar to audacity to me for some reason. Back when I was using cool edit pro about 12 years ago, it could rip right off of a cd and import right in the play list and then you could export it out in any format that you wanted, I have a lot of issues doing this with most of my DAW’s today. I don’t know why they make cd’s some weird format that most programs don’t read anymore. I have always had issues with getting cd’s in to mp3 format. I got it for 15 bucks online which is a very fair price for a piece of software that I needed to have do to the file format differences with so many applications.

Avast’s antivirus engine is rated as excellent by the independent test labs, and its web protection is among the best around, too. In short, you get a lot with the paid subscription of Avast One (there’s a free version which is impressive, too, but it drops a number of features, and the VPN function is limited).Īll this is wrapped up in a smart and easy-to-use interface which has been thoughtfully redesigned for Avast One, and the cherry on top is the strength of the protection delivered. There are also some more unusual features like a Sensitive Data Shield which scans drives for files that may contain sensitive info like passwords and phone numbers and stops other users of a device from accessing these. On top of that, Avast One provides a full VPN (with unlimited data – although it’s not the fastest we’ve ever seen, by any means), and some device speed-up and maintenance tools. That means not just antivirus and ransomware defenses, but also a firewall, webcam protection, data breach monitoring, and a software updater to keep apps patched up with no need for user intervention. Pricing is highly competitive compared to rivals, particularly given that bundled VPN, so you should definitely consider this Norton package (compare it to the company’s other offerings with our guide to choosing your Norton plan) – especially for family usage with those very thorough parental controls.Īvast One is the trusted security outfit’s revamped suite which offers an umbrella of protection across various bases. Norton 360 Deluxe covers up to five devices, either Windows or Mac PCs, plus there are mobile apps for Android and iOS. That said, it’s rated as about average in this department by independent test lab AV-Comparatives, and odds are you likely won’t even notice any impact on the speed of your system in everyday usage. There are some truly worthwhile extras included here, too, like a fully integrated Norton VPN that massively adds to the value proposition of this suite (assuming you don’t have a VPN already, of course), and 50GB of online backup storage that's another handy bonus.Īs for negative points, a flaw worth bearing in mind is that we found Norton 360 Deluxe had more of a drag on system performance than most internet security suites in our own testing. The parental controls are top-notch, by the way, including in-depth monitoring systems to keep an eye on what your kids are doing online, and even GPS tracking for their mobile devices.

In fact, an app is provided for Mac users (this software is now compatible with M1 Macs, and has been improved to run faster virus scans), as well as clients for iOS and Android mobiles. These are somewhat useful in themselves, for cleaning out superfluous files and streamlining boot times – but more importantly, Bitdefender’s flagship package also covers more than just Windows devices.
