![]() That’s more than you’d get from AirPods, but of course they benefit from having a charging case included. In terms of battery life, Beats claims around 12 hours and I have been getting just below this – around 10-11 hours. While these are surely built to replace the bundled EarPods with iPhones, they work very well with Android too and the app brings across some of the previously iOS-only shine. If you’re on Android then there’s an app you can download to increase functionality, and it adds some iOS style cards alerting you of battery life when you connect. Don’t expect fancy new features like auto-syncing or Spatial Audio as neither of them are supported by this chip. Bring the Beats Flex close to an iPhone and – as you do with AirPods – you’ll get instant pairing across all your connected devices. ![]() Inside the Beats Flex is Apple’s W1 chip, and it’s great to see this handy piece of silicon at the heart of these cheaper earphones. ![]() This is very much a personal thing though, and if you’re fine with in-ear buds these will likely be ok for you too. Far more so than the AirPods Pro, which also uses this in-ear style and I can happily keep in my ears until they run out of battery. You get four tip sizes in the box and I found them quite uncomfortable after a few hours of use. I would say the design is better for gym-goers and runners as there’s less chance of a bud accidentally falling out, however the lack of any sweat resistance disappoints in this regard. What I do like though is that when you’re not wearing the buds, they clip together magnetically and hang down by your chest meaning they’re always within easy reach. I guess this is a side-effect of having a one-size-fits-all approach, but it’s still something of a nuisance. I’ve also found the length of the wires is a bit long, leaving big amounts of it flapping around the side of my head. For one, the Beats Flex is quite hard to fold up to fit in your pocket as all those flat cables are rigid and it doesn’t come with any sort of case to store them away in. Neckband headphones aren’t my favourite design for a number of reasons. If you’re familiar with the Beats X, the £150 headphones these are replacing, then these look very similar. Once you got to grips with the shortcuts for stuff like skipping forward (double press) and enable a voice assistant (long press), it all works very well. All these buttons are easy and reliable to press, with firm feedback and a nice click. This is where you’ll find the USB-C port for charging, a mic for taking calls and chatting to Siri/Google Assistant and a couple of buttons. There are two thicker portions of the strap that help weigh the rigid wires down, and give somewhere for the innards and battery to live. The two earbuds are connected via a sturdy, flat plastic band the sits on your neck. Unlike AirPods, which are completely wireless and recharge in a handy pocketable case, the Beats Flex is a pair of neckband headphones.

"While appointments mean customers are no longer waiting in line for services, it does require customers to go online and make an appointment ahead of time," the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement to NBC 5. Combined with the current appointment-only approach during the pandemic for those with expired licenses or needing to take a test, there's been a backlog of customers still unraveling from the shutdowns last year.

![]() ![]() If the internal insulation breaks down, it can cause a short in the winding, limiting the amount the voltage gets stepped up.Īnother way a coil can fail is by developing cracks in its insulated case. Ignition coil packs hate heat and vibration, so a hot engine bay is a challenging place for it to live. Over time, the temperature and shaking can break up the coil’s windings and insulation. The primary wire receives the low voltage from the battery which generates a magnetic field around it. However, the instant that flow is interrupted by the ignition system or electronic control unit (ECU), the magnetic field collapses, creating or inducing a higher voltage in the secondary wire that travels to the spark plug. If you'd like, the Wikipedia article on transformers goes into great detail. ![]() It does this using two separate coils of wire, both coiled around a central core, all contained within an insulated body. One wire, called the secondary, is made up of thousands more windings than the other one, called the primary. The difference in the number of windings (imagine a spool of thread) determines the level of voltage that comes out for a given input. For this reason, a modern engine can have multiple coils.Ī coil works on the simple electrical principle of the step-up transformer. On modern cars with an electronic ignition system that uses a computer rather than a distributor to fire the spark plugs at the right time, the coil is likely to be mounted directly to the spark plug, or close by, without the need for high-voltage spark plug wires. In older vehicles, the coil pack is typically mounted to the firewall or the engine near a distributor that ‘distributes’ the high voltage it produces to each spark plug, via thick rubbery spark plug wires. The engine computer sends 12 volts to each coil in turn to fire the plugs when needed. Others mount boxy coil packs to the fender, firewall, or motor, with short leads to the spark plugs. Some coils are constructed in series and called cassette or sequence coils, or coil rails. On a modern car, coils typically are mounted directly on top of the spark plugs, so the high voltage does not have far to travel. Some systems, like the GM HEI distributor, mount the coil directly in the distributor cap, and look like #1 below. If your car is an older vehicle with traditional distributor ignition, it’ll look like a small metal cylinder (in fact, it’s often called a canister-type coil) with wires sprouting out of it, one connecting it to the battery, another to the distributor. A coil that is going bad can deliver a voltage that only fires the plug under certain conditions, which is what causes an intermittent misfire. The pressures are so high in the cylinder that the voltage has to be extremely high for the spark to be effective. Without a coil pack, the spark plug wouldn't receive a voltage high enough to do its job of igniting the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber. It is typically just a wire-wound transformer filled with an insulator. The coil is the part of a car’s ignition system that takes the battery’s 12-volt output (called low-tension current) and transforms it into as much as 45,000 volts (called high-tension current) before then supplying it to the engine’s spark plugs. However, the good news is that an igntion coil pack replacement is usually pretty cheap if caught early. This can be a serious issue if left unattended, because a car not running smoothly can damage the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. ![]() So, if your car has trouble starting, runs rough, has a misfire, or is getting thirstier, it may be that there is a problem with the ignition coil, or one of the coil packs. This then ignites the fuel and air in an engine's cylinder. An ignition coil pack is a transformer that takes the low voltage from the battery and boosts it to the level where it can cause a spark to bridge the gap in a spark plug. ![]() ![]() ![]() They gave themselves complicated names and used too many woodwinds and made life-altering and reflexively divisive music whose values seem wildly out of step in 2022.Ī more warm and sentimental Black Country, New Road remains just as challenging and potentially confounding as their former selves this isn’t due to any sonic alteration on Ants From Up There so much as their shift from the self-conscious remove of post-punk to the life-affirming extremity of emo. They worked with feverish literacy and earnest emotion, conservatory-trained musicianship and childlike whimsy. It was a time of strivers and try-hards, bands whose unwieldiness and anachronism were kinda the entire point. ![]() Still, if they didn’t hit the mark of Arcade Fire’s Funeral, you could throw a dart at just about any critically lauded indie rock band from 2004-2007 and land on a potential comparative point. Yet the song itself shifts rhythms almost constantly, its pop appeal as unorthodox as its lyrical inspiration. The album’s purest pop moment-Wood crooning, “She had Billie Eilish style/Moving to Berlin for a little while” during “Good Will Hunting,” as a THX synth renders it appropriately cinematic-could possibly spawn an entire TikTok subgenre for the rest of 2022. Both statements speak to the band's wry sense of humor-of the 10 songs on Ants From Up There, two are instrumentals and five are at least six minutes long. In the same interview, drummer Charlie Wayne implies that they set out to make an album full of hits, having run up debts that put them in grave legal and/or physical peril. “Chaos Space Marine” might be better described as pre-rock, touching on klezmer, chamber music, jazz, or any form of pop that used strings or horns as primary instruments.Ī few years removed from cheeky references to professing love at a black midi show and singing about how they’re “ the world’s second-best Slint tribute act,” bassist Tyler Hyde claims that during the writing process of Ants From Up There, Black Country, New Road became obsessed with Arcade Fire. It’s definitely a reference to the tabletop game Warhammer 40,000, maybe a tweak of the Smiths’ “ Still Ill,” and, hopefully, a shot at the wave of talky UK post-rock bands that Black County, New Road were once part of and have now graduated from. “And though England is mine, I must leave it all behind,” Wood announces as the album’s opening statement, a newly handsome lilt bearing a quintessential BC, NR lyric: brash enough to double as a pull quote for an NME cover and subject to granular pop culture forensics. Whereas For the first time began with an audacious and alienating six-minute instrumental, this “Intro” lasts 54 seconds before barging right into what the band has called the “best song we’ve ever written.” They’re not wrong. “We’ve gone in a new direction and are writing with a new ethos.” Ants From Up There’s very first moments re-introduces a band that could not be more excited about where things were headed. Almost 75 percent of their 2021 debut, For the first time, had been available and loudly celebrated before its release, and when the album came out, the band began to distance themselves from their “phase one.” “There will be a clear delineation between these first 18 months…and what follows,” saxophonist Lewis Evans stated nearly four months before their debut LP. Both of Black Country, New Road’s studio albums are final destinations, bringing closure to a yearlong stage of roadtesting new material. ![]() So now the question is, “Break up with whom?” “Isaac will suffer, Concorde will fly,” he sings a minute earlier on “Concorde.” Perhaps he’s talking to the band he’d leave four days before they shared a triumphant album with the rest of the world.įor all of the doubt the circumstances around Ants From Up There casts on the band’s immediate prospects, they’re right about where they left off nearly a year ago to the day. But on January 31, the band announced, through Wood’s own emotional letter, that he “won’t be a member of the group anymore,” and that the remaining members will carry on without him. All seven members of the London band amplify the dynamics of Wood’s every convulsion, from giddy infatuation to paralyzing despair, as he desperately sacrifices his serenity for a tragic and heroic cause. Until about a week ago, Ants From Up There could be heard as a classic breakup album. ![]() ![]() The way the events work now is somewhat similar to Left 4 Dead’s AI director – it can delay additional random events when you already have your hands full with an attacking sea creature or a fire, or create new challenges when everything is going smoothly. With the new system we can guarantee that you will face various challenges in each level. Previously the monsters spawns (and the spawn positions) were essentially random, and if you were lucky, it was possible to pass a high-difficulty level without even running into a single monster. With the overhauled event system I mentioned in the previous post, we have much better control over the difficulty of a given round. Note that many of the sprites in these pics are not final: For example, the Hydrothermal Wastes are filled with sonar-disrupting sessile organisms, strong water currents and lava vents, the Great Void is a wide-open space where the player must avoid floating ice chunks and large predators, and the Europan Ridge is dense with smaller creatures, vegetation (including ones that latch onto the sub) and tunnels too narrow for the submarine to fit inside. There’s 6 distinct biomes, with different sorts of layouts, vegetation, creatures and environmental hazards. The end goal is to make it to the center of the map, and survive a literal and metaphorical dive into the heart of. Difficulty increases for each successive ring the player passes into, making sub and crew upgrades a necessity the deeper the player ventures. The map consists of 6 concentric rings, each representing a distinct biome (more about that later). The campaign map doesn’t just look better, there’s been a few changes that should make things a lot more interesting. As to how we’re doing this, here’s some of the new and upcoming features: New map We’ve also wanted to make Europa feel more like a living, breathing world that’s affected by the players actions. But there’s so much more we could do with it! Our main goal has been to give the player a better sense of progression, to make it feel like they’re gradually advancing through increasingly challenging areas and missions towards an ultimate end goal. Personally I’m not satisfied at all with how it works: it feels like playing randomized mission rounds one after another, with the only major difference being that the changes to the submarine, items and characters are persistent. I thought I’d make a little update about the changes we’ve been doing to the campaign mode (+ a few things that also affect other game modes)!Īs you may have noticed, the current campaign is quite bare-bones. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2020 the player can use a standard web-browser.
