![]() ![]() Latifah’s series marks the first female-led version of The Equalizer, with the new McCall prioritising helping people of colour treated unfairly by the system. The upcoming series will mark the second reboot in the Equalizer franchise, following in the footsteps of the Denzel Washington film versions as well as the original TV series starring Edward Woodward which ran on CBS for four seasons between 19. On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 54 out of 100, based on 8 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".The Equalizer sees Queen Latifah star as Robyn McCall, “a single mum and ex-CIA operative who becomes a vigilante to defend the innocent people around her - all whilst trying to find redemption in New York”.

![]() ![]() (Middling products have tended to come and go very quickly on the market, to the detriment of all of us who just wanted a nice GaAsFET or whatever to play with, without having to worry about oscillation at frequencies that can burn ones' eyes out.) For more power, might as well just get a proper RF MOSFET, with a few cheap (~$10 being cheap here) types coming in TO-247 and SMT flat pack styles, good for 10s or 100s of W, and at least as many MHz, to maybe a hair over a GHz. SMTs in the same range tend to be MMICs, and bleeding-edge (30GHz+ fT?) HBTs or PHEMTs or what have you, that are probably not something you want to play with just yet. It might still be one of the best transistors, despite its metal can and boutique pricing. The next step up, honestly I'm not sure offhand if there's an SMT equivalent of 2N3866. ![]() I'd recommend MMBTH10 (or the original MPSH10 if you insist on TO-92) here, you can make a wideband amp into the low 100MHz range without too much trouble, though it won't have much power (Ic ~ 20mA tops, whatever that is, peak, into 50 ohms). are still available (at any price), and just, no one says there are better alternatives out there? Well FYI - most of those you can get a plastic PNxxxx version, or an SMT MMBTxxxx version, for a fraction of the price. Also, I don't get the metal cans if I might guess, I suppose old references are still just as available as ever? And 2N2222, 2N2369, 2N3055, 2N5179 and etc. maybe not such an oscillation hazard with only 500MHz transistors, but it doesn't help, and it will be fatal when using faster types. They're a liability both for matching to 50 ohms, and to oscillation. They give a characteristic impedance closer to 200 ohms, and relatively good coupling between each other. Likewise, at some point those long spindly legs are going to be a problem. Well, that's not even a lie, pre-matched transistors and MMICs for those bands really do have on-die matching networks. It's almost like the transmission line extends all the way up to the die. MMICs are all matched into 50 ohms or so, and get some GHz of bandwidth (several to 10s of, depending on type I suppose?). You can have a transistor with almost nil capacitance, and still limited bandwidth, just because it's running too high an impedance. Same story, you're driving a capacitance with a resistance, it can be peaked to extend a little further but if you need a lot more, you just need a lower source impedance, period. Hm, probably source impedance is getting too high as well. And I do not know what the reason is for the poor performace. As you can see, the frequency response is up to about 5.3 MHz (I know the blue trace is not perfectly constant over frequency). The source is the DDS, performing a linear frequency sweep from 1MHz to 15MHz, in steps of 100kHz each millisecond. However, it is the same as in the breadboard! Here you can see the scope output: The yellow trace is the output, the blue trace is the input. I expected full performance, as there are now no parasitic capacitors. I then built it on copper, Manhattan style (is this the correct name?). I simulated it on ltspice (adding lots of 7pf parasitic capacitors), and the simulation and reality were close to each other. The frequency response of the amplifier is bad, of course, up to about 5 MHz. Source is a DDS (AD9834), 220 ohm output impedance. I have built and simulated a schematic in LTSpice: The frequency response should be good, up to about 44 MHz: I built it on a breadboard, and tested it. It is based on a cascode amplifier, with 2N2369A. Intended for the low Megahertz range, should be broadband, moderate-low gain (for now).

Specifically, how they are the shadows to the regular family. Red also makes several references to shadows. This is a direct reference to the fire in the cave, casting shadows for the prisoners to view. The scene holds many direct correlations with the "Allegory of the Cave." For starters, the tethered family stands in front of a fire, casting shadows on the room. ![]() Watch this terrifying scene and see what similarities you can find between it and Plato's cave. That’s the question Jordan Peele poses in his film Us, which is one of the most blatant Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" examples in film history. What if when they finally recognize the lie, they resort to violent revolution? A person has to recognize everything up until this point in their life has been a lie. There’s something inherently haunting about Plato’s allegory. ![]() PLATO’S ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE SUMMARY Use the allegory to emphasize theme You can see how universal it is and how it can be applied to your own film. Let’s examine some very different films and how they all utilize this allegory. You can likely think of plenty of films where a character believes one reality and then becomes exposed to another, greater reality and is never the same. Numerous movies utilize this concept in their plots and themes. But digging deeper, they present unique ideas and themes that we can take with us into the real world. In a literal sense, a movie is just a series of images. The chained prisoners would see this blindness and believe they will be harmed if they try to leave the cave. Upon his return, he is blinded because his eyes are not accustomed to actual sunlight. He would try to return to free the other prisoners. This prisoner would believe the outside world is so much more real than that in the cave. This prisoner could escape from the cave and discover there is a whole new world outside they were previously unaware of. He finally sees the fire and realizes the shadows are fake. Plato posits that one prisoner could become free. The prisoners watch these shadows, believing this to be their reality as they've known nothing else. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners are people carrying puppets or other objects. The allegory begins with prisoners who have lived their entire lives chained inside a cave. Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" is a concept devised by the philosopher to ruminate on the nature of belief versus knowledge. Allegory of the Cave Meaning What is the Allegory of the Cave? ![]() ![]() ![]() In September 2000, during the dot-com bubble, while Netflix was suffering losses, Hastings and Randolph offered to sell the company to Blockbuster for $50 million. The per-rental model was dropped by early 2000, allowing the company to focus on the business model of flat-fee unlimited rentals without due dates, late fees, shipping and handling fees, or per-title rental fees. Initially, Netflix offered a per-rental model for each DVD but introduced a monthly subscription concept in September 1999. Fearing competition from Amazon, Randolph at first thought the offer was fair, but Hastings, who owned 70% of the company, turned it down on the plane ride home. Randolph and Hastings met with Jeff Bezos, where Amazon offered to acquire Netflix for between $14 and $16 million. Netflix launched as the first DVD rental and sales website with 30 employees and 925 titles available-nearly all DVDs published. Hastings invested $2.5 million into Netflix from the sale of Pure Atria. Hastings is often quoted saying that he decided to start Netflix after being fined $40 at a Blockbuster store for being late to return a copy of Apollo 13, a claim since repudiated by Randolph. When the disc arrived intact, they decided to enter the $16 billion Home-video sales and rental industry. ![]() When they heard about DVDs, first introduced in the United States in early 1998, they tested the concept of selling or renting DVDs by mail by mailing a compact disc to Hastings's house in Santa Cruz. Hastings and Randolph considered and rejected selling and renting VHS as too expensive to stock and too delicate to ship. Randolph admired Amazon and wanted to find a large category of portable items to sell over the Internet using a similar model. Patty McCord, later head of Human Resources at Netflix, was also in the carpool group. Hastings and Randolph came up with the idea for Netflix while carpooling between their homes in Santa Cruz, California, and Pure Atria's headquarters in Sunnyvale. He was previously a co-founder of MicroWarehouse, a computer mail-order company as well as vice president of marketing for Borland. Randolph had worked as a marketing director for Pure Software after Pure Atria acquired a company where Randolph worked. Hastings, a computer scientist and mathematician, was a cofounder of Pure Software, which was acquired by Rational Software that year for $750 million, the then biggest acquisition in Silicon Valley history. Netflix was founded by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings on August 29, 1997, in Scotts Valley, California. By 2022, original productions accounted for half of its library in the United States and the namesake company had ventured into other categories, such as video game publishing via its eponymous service.įourth and current logo, used since 2014 Launch as a mail-based rental business (1997–2006) Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix and the first CEO of the company Reed Hastings, co-founder and the current chairman and CEO began its DVD-by-mail service, Netflix is the most-subscribed video on demand streaming media service, with 238.39 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries.

Stretch the app across both displays and you have another problem: a distracting crease in the middle. The phone’s unusual 3:2 aspect ratio doesn’t play nicely with most films and TV shows, so black bars above and below the screen are quite common. On that note, it’s worth mentioning that the Duo 2 is rather awkward to use as a media consumption device. Whichever mode you choose, however, you’ll still be getting effectively perfect contrast of Infinity:1, as well as a high peak brightness of 700cd/m², with a measured 772cd/m² when displaying HDR content. The Duo 2’s secondary Vivid colour profile tweaks the saturation of colours, but not to a distracting degree. When closed and charging, the small visible strip can be used to display the charging progress as a simple green bar, and you can also display the time whenever you click the power button on the opposite edge. The inner screens now curve slightly into the phone’s hinge, which not only looks swish but also serves a practical purpose. The second screen can still be rotated all the way around, and there’s not much flex if you press the screen against the gap, either. It’s certainly not the nicest thing to look at, but thankfully it doesn’t get in the way when it comes to functionality. Now incorporating a trio of cameras – which I’ll discuss later in this review – the Duo 2’s camera housing protrudes about 3.5mm from the back glass panel. Microsoft hasn’t explicitly discussed any changes to the phone’s hinge, but in my testing it does seem to hold the second screen more securely in place when adjusted at dramatic angles.Īnother big change is the addition of that chunky camera block on the phone’s rear. ![]() The Duo 2’s hinge feels a bit sturdier than the previous version, too. However, unlike the Z Fold 3, the Surface Duo 2 doesn’t have an IP rating, which means it’s pretty much useless against the elements. These aren’t flexible panels, either, so they should survive a lot longer against the stresses of everyday life, unlike Samsung’s flimsy “Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X” displays. To start with, the inner glass is now surrounded by thin plastic, which means that the Duo 2 is much softer to close, and both screens are also more durable, protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus. It’s pretty obvious that Microsoft has addressed previous (negative) feedback, too. And while it still functions exactly the same as the original – with a pair of screens separated by a 360-degree reversible hinge – there’s a lot to like in terms of both looks and functionality. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Design and key featuresĪrguably, the Duo 2’s biggest list of upgrades can be found in the design. Despite having a similar design as the Z Flip 3, and being two years older, you have to pay an extra £200 ( £1,199). There’s also the ageing Moto Razr (2019), which seems to have been abandoned by Motorola in the subsequent years since its release. ![]() On the other hand, Samsung does also offer the Galaxy Z Flip 3 as a second option, with its flip-to-open clamshell design coming in at an enticing £999. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 is even pricier than the Duo 2, starting at a lofty £1,599. Of course, it’s not like Microsoft is alone in charging this much. Then again, Apple’s flagship doesn’t fold – at least without breaking it – and that’s what we’re here for in the first place, right? An unlimited data contract costs an eye-watering £90 a month.įor the amount of money you might spend on the Surface Duo 2, you could buy an iPhone 13 Pro Max instead and still have £300 left over. EE is the only UK mobile network offering the Surface Duo 2 on contract, with prices starting at £73 a month with an upfront cost of £153 and this only comes with 4GB of monthly data. That particular figure is for the 128GB version, with 256GB costing £1,429 and the 512GB model going for £1,589. Admittedly, Microsoft’s foldable is £50 cheaper than the original was at launch, but the Surface Duo 2’s comparatively microscopic saving means you’ve still got to pay at least £1,349 if you go SIM-free. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Price and competitionĪlas, the Surface Duo 2 is still excruciatingly expensive. The previous model had to make do with a solitary (and frankly rather shoddy) 11MP camera. Perhaps the most obvious upgrade is the new triple-camera block on the rear, which now incorporates a 12MP main camera, 12MP 2x telephoto sensor and a 16MP ultrawide unit. Internally, the Surface Duo 2 is powered by a much faster Snapdragon 888 chipset, with an extra 2GB of RAM (8GB) and an option to increase the internal storage up to 512GB. ![]() ![]() ![]() Go executive with a swivel base when you're a big decision-maker.
