With my partner's passing in 2013, I dedicated myself to fulfilling our dream and continuing the tradition we have built with Geeks4Mac. It isn't about just fixing your device, its about making you happy again. Our focus became you.our customer.each and every one. We wanted to bring the high level of service Apple demanded in-house during its golden time.out of the mall and the retail environment and expand that to include work that Apple does not do in-house, like upgrades. Either shops were really Windows repair stores.that added Macs ("since computers are all the same") or Apple speciality shops providing poor customer service or uncertified and untrained staff. While at Apple one of the things I heard consistently was customers struggling to find the kind of support they needed or wanted outside of Apple itself. With Geeks4Mac we set out to fill, what we saw, as a void in the Apple support community in Portland. In 2009, my partner and I formed Geeks4Mac. I loved my years with the company and my tenure there leading one of the company's best support and repair teams.īut I wanted to do more for the customers and decided to leave Apple and go out on my own again. The training and expertise I received and developed there amplified the abilities I had FAR beyond I could have imagined. It was in my years at Apple that I took my knowledge and skills to the next level. ![]() Over the years I would develop a computer consulting business and later would go to work for Apple itself. I value my customer service background just as much as my computer and technology background because, as I would learn.support and repair is 90% customer service and 10% technical know how. I have worked in both customer service and in technology and computers since before I even graduated from high school. ![]() My Dad would always say, I took something he saw as a fun hobby and really did something with it. I remember spending many hours on it, not just playing video games, but also banging away at the keyboard.typing in Basic code. That was my Dad.while my friends merely had Atari 2600 game systems, he always had to have the best. I still remember the night he showed up with our very first computer.an Atari 800. I derived my passion for all things electronic from my Father. I grew up in Portland and around technology.

Results will vary depending on the exact model of laptop. It uses the /proc/i8k interface provided by the i8k driver (an alias for dell_smm_hwmon). I8kutils is a daemon to configure fan speed according to CPU temperatures on some Dell Inspiron and Latitude laptops. It can be installed as nbfc-linux AUR or nbfc-linux-git AUR. It does not depend on the Mono framework. NBFC-Linux is a lightweight implementation of NBFC, written in C. More information about configuration is available at upstream wiki. For example, on Asus Zenbook UX430UQ, the configuration Asus Zenbook UX430UA did not work well (fans completelly stopped all the time), but Asus Zenbook UX410UQ worked fantastically. If there are no recommended models, go to NBFC git repository or /opt/nbfc/Configs/ and check if there are any similar models available from the same manufacturer. If above solution did not help, try appending ec_sys.write_support=1 to kernel parameters. # mv /opt/nbfc/Plugins/ /opt/nbfc/Plugins/.old Note: If you are getting File Descriptor does not support writing, delete and restart rvice: After that, run the following to check if it detected the sensors correctly:Ĭore 0: +29.0☌ (high = +76.0☌, crit = +100.0☌) This will detect all of the sensors present and they will be used for fancontrol.

High humidity surrounding the drying room or oven inhibits the efficiency of the dryingīecause the air pulled into the room is incapable of picking up much moisture from the molds. Of the air while replacing it with fresh air. Having little or no air movement, (2) equal temperatures throughout the entire area, and (3) provisions for exhausting a portion The best drying rooms or ovens provide (1) uniform and rapid circulation (minimum of 15-30 fps) of air with no “dead spots” Where the slurry strikes the surface of the mold.ĭrying All plaster casts should be dried as quickly as is safely possible after manufacture so that maximum physical properties can develop. Pouring a large amount of slurry directly on the face of the mold may result in slight densification of the cast at the point Whenever possible, the slurry should be poured carefully in the deepest area so the slurry flows evenly across the surface of the mold. Agitation of the filled mold is a further step used to prevent air at or near the surface of the cast piece. Pouring To prevent air entrainment and provide a uniform, smooth surface, careful pouring of the slurry is necessary. Longer mixing times result in higher cast strength and shorter setting times. Proper blade and bucket dimensions are important for obtaining the best batch mix (see IG503 for details). Plasters can be mechanically mixed through both batch and continuous processes. Mechanically mixed plasters develop uniform casts with optimal strengths. Hardness, and other important properties. Mixing Mixing the plaster slurry is one of the most important steps in producing plaster casts with maximum strength, See bulletin IG503 for specific soaking instructions. ![]() Small batches require less soaking than large batches. The plaster should be fully dispersed in the water prior to mixing. Do not drop handfuls of plaster directly into the water. Soaking Sift or strew the plaster into water slowly and evenly. The water-to-plaster ratio is critical because it governs the strength Measuring Weigh both the casting plaster and water for each mix. The higher the temperature of the water, the shorter the set time. ![]() Since variations in slurry (the casting plaster and water mixture) temperature produce variations in setting time, it is important to keep both the plaster and water in a stable temperature environment prior to use.

Most notable was Dennis "Thresh" Fong who won John Carmack's Ferrari 328 at the Microsoft-sponsored Red Annihilation tournament in 1997. ![]() Multiplayer Quake was one of the first games that people singled out as a form of electronic sport. Many of these non-realistic behaviors contribute to Quake 's appeal. The player can start and stop moving suddenly, jump unnaturally high, and change direction while moving through the air. For example: bunny hopping or strafe jumping can be used to move faster than normal, while rocket jumping enables the player to reach otherwise-inaccessible areas at the cost of some self-damage. The gameplay in Quake was considered unique for its time because of the different ways the player can maneuver through the game. Typically, monsters are not normally present, as they serve no purpose other than to get in the way and give away the player. Teamplay is also frequently played with one or another mod. Deathmatch modes typically consist of either free-for-all (no organization or teams involved), one-on-one duels, or organized teamplay with two or more players per team (or clan). The most popular multiplayer modes are all forms of deathmatch. Similarly, items that have been picked up previously respawn after some time, and may be picked up again. When players die in multiplayer mode, they can immediately respawn but lose any items that were collected. In multiplayer mode, players on several computers connect to a server (which may be a dedicated machine or on one of the player's computers), where they can either play the single-player campaign together in co-op mode or against each other in multiplayer. After all of the runes are collected, the floor of the Start opens up to reveal an entrance to the End level which contains the final boss, based on the god Shub-Niggurath from the Cthulhu Mythos. The ultimate objective at the end of an episode is to recover a magic rune. Episode I (which formed the shareware or downloadable demo version of Quake) has the most traditional ideology of a boss in the last level. Each episode starts the player from scratch, without any previously collected items. Upon completing each episode, the player is returned to the hub Start level, where another episode can be entered. If the player dies, he must restart at the beginning of the level. As items are collected, they are carried to the next level, each usually more challenging than the last. Quake 's single-player campaign is organized into four individual episodes of about eight levels each (each including a secret level, one of which is a "low gravity" level-Ziggurat Vertigo in Episode 1, Dimension of the Doomed-that challenges the player's abilities in a different way). Once reaching the exit, the game takes the player to the next level.īefore the start level, there is a set of three pathways with easy, medium, and hard skill levels in order to reach the Nightmare skill level (described in the game manual as "so bad that it was hidden, so people won't wander in by accident" ), the player must drop through the water before the Episode 4 entrance and jump into a secret passage. Usually there are buttons to press or keys to collect in order to open doors before the exit can be reached. In single player, players explore and navigate to the exit of each level, facing many challenging monsters and some secret areas along the way. Quake has since been recognized as one of the greatest achievements of the video game industry, influencing games that came after it, as well as the artforms of user mods and machinama. The game received much acclaim on release and its commercial success led to several sequels, starting with Quake II, which abandoned the gothic stylings of the original for a science fiction theme. Various multiplayer mods were developed including Team Fortress and Capture the Flag. ![]() Online multiplayer became increasingly common, with the QuakeWorld update and software such as QuakeSpy making the process of finding and playing against other competitors on the Internet far easier and more reliable. After Doom helped popularize multiplayer deathmatches, Quake added various multiplayer options. Unlike the Doom engine before it, the Quake engine offered full real-time 3D rendering and early support for 3D acceleration through OpenGL. The successor to id's Doom series, Quake built upon the technology and gameplay of its predecessor in many ways. In the game, players must find their way out of various maze-like, medieval environments while battling a variety of monsters using a wide array of guns. Quake is a first-person shooter video game that was released by id Software in 1996 and the first game in the popular Quake series of video games.
