![]() ![]() Puff, and these extra collectibles are usually stashed away in hard to reach places across several Wishworlds. Krabs or ‘Good Noodles’ stickers for Mrs. For example, characters back in Bikini Bottom (the hub world) will often hand out side quests asking you to collect things for them, like pennies for Mr. Each Wishworld has a central quest and a clear path for you to follow, while there are myriad rabbit trails and optional side paths you can explore along the way to find extra goodies. Level design feels like it strikes a good balance between something more focused like Demon Turf and something overstuffed with collectibles like Donkey Kong 64. You never venture too far from the core 3D platforming, but we appreciated the gameplay variety on offer here, as it gives each Wishworld its own feel while new abilities give you reason to revisit previous levels to ferret out collectibles you couldn’t reach before. For example, one level features several stealth sections where you need to sneak around enemies and scare them, while another has several auto-scrolling platforming and combat sections as you ‘act’ in a karate movie. Plus, there are occasional simple minigames tossed in to break things up even further, tasking you with things like cooking Krabby Patties or outdrinking Sandy in a saloon.Įven beyond obstacles focused on SpongeBob’s expanding moveset, each level introduces some fun, exclusive gimmicks to mix up the action. One level may teach you how to grapple and swing between fish hooks, while another unlocks a new bubble surfboard that you can use to glide set distances. Unlike its predecessor (which had three playable characters) you only play as SpongeBob here, but he learns new techniques as you progress. Gameplay in The Cosmic Shake follows typical 3D platforming game design, tasking you with exploring vast playgrounds, beating up baddies, and picking up a whole lot of collectibles along the way. SpongeBob and Patrick’s banter and commentary as they explore the worlds help to fill the silence well, and all the characters (even minor ones like Fred or the chocolate guy) being voiced by their original voice actors helps to add that extra touch of authenticity. ![]() References and in-jokes abound and will be appreciated by fans of the show, though even newcomers will still find plenty to love in the goofy and irreverent humor on display here. The story isn’t anything exceptional, but it does a fantastic job of emulating the feel and humor of a typical SpongeBob episode, especially one from the first three seasons. The two thus set out to repair the damage and collect jelly for Kassandra, who totally doesn’t have ulterior motives.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) As a result of their mistake, Bikini Bottom has become drenched in cosmic jelly and overrun by strange jelly creatures, while all of SpongeBob and Patrick’s friends have been scattered across the various Wishworlds that opened portals all around town. The tears have magical properties and legend has it that they have the ability to grant wishes, but things get out of hand when SpongeBob and Patrick overuse them and tear apart the multiverse. The Cosmic Shake picks up with SpongeBob and Patrick meeting a mysterious mermaid named Kassandra who offers them a bottle of mermaid tears for them to use as bubble soap. ![]() Though The Cosmic Shake isn’t exactly a game that reinvents the 3D platforming wheel, it offers an enjoyable and delightful experience that no fan of this nostalgic genre will want to miss. Built from the ground up for modern hardware, this new release carries on the spirit of the original while integrating many new ideas and designs of its own. Sales for that remaster were evidently robust enough to justify development of an all-new sequel, as SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake was announced a little over a year later. A few years ago, Purple Lamp Studios released SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, a solid revival of a 3D platforming classic from decades past. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, we are talking about a system that works without problems on our computers with the Windows operating system, although, in this case also has a version for Linux.Īs we mentioned above, the primary purpose for which we can and recommend downloading SystemRescueCd is because it is one of the simplest platforms within its segment. The usual is to format the computer, although in such cases we will lose all important files and so on, or try our luck with an application that has been developed for this purpose.Īnd we make the above introduction precisely because we consider SystemRescueCd to be one of the best tools that we as users can take advantage of at the very moment when we find that it is impossible to use our PC usually. Data Carvers, besides not knowing where the file originally was, have an extra problem, fragmentation! If the file is not sequential, there is absolutely no way for TestDisk to know where the missing piece is.The first thing you must remember in this regard is that if we can not access different boot sectors of the hard drive or some of the contents stored on the computer, you will have to take action almost immediately. If it finds a known header it will download the file. PhotoRec is a carver, which means it will go over the whole disk trying to find headers of known files. ![]() PhotoRec, a companion to TestDisk, is downloaded in the same file. The steps I would generally take:Ī) make an image of the bad disk using ddrescueī) if that image is mountable and everything looks fine, problem solvedĬ) if the image has no partition, make a copy of the imageĭ) use testdisk to try and recover the lost partitions # this would make testdisk work on your image fileĬ:\>testdisk c:\my_image_backup.img I always suggest making a copy of the image so that if testdisk doesn't immediately work you can retry - photoRec It's a brilliant tool to try and restore partitions, if not using it on SystemRescueCD you may use it in both Linux and Windows. TestDisk from CGSecurity is one of the "must haves" of data recovery. # -c 4Ki read in blocks of 4K (massive improvement on some HDDs) These come on secondary passes when the recovery media is troublesome. # if reads are very very slow you can try and tune the cluster size # -retrim (-M) mark blocks as non trimmed # -synchronous (-D) useful when forcing the drive to remap its bad sectors # -direct (-d) direct, only for use in full drives (direct access) On complex cases the following arguments have proven to be effective and a life-saver: # -reverse (-R) recursive, try to capture from back to front # -K (-skip-size), initial jump size for next good sector This is generally my first choice to try and get data without stressing the disk. # -a (-min-read-rate), if read rate is bellow limit go to next sector # -n (-no-scrape), jump sector on first faill ![]() ddrescue -n -a 30000 -K 100MiB /dev/devX /mnt/goodDrive/failing.img /mnt/goodDrive/failing.log There are some other options I generally use that may eventually help someone. # This would try to capture as much data as fast as possibleĭdrescue /dev/devX /mnt/goodDrive/failing.img /mnt/goodDrive/failing.log On the following examples devX is the drive that needs saving, and you've mounted /mnt/goodDrive/ on another physical device. You may also use it if you are a Windows user, just download Cygwin and take into consideration that Disk1 = /dev/sda and Cygwin expects you to use /dev/sdX notation. When the hard-drive is failing you definitely don't want it searching and seeking all over the platters. They range from the PCB that fried – very common on external drives with soldered USB, to SATA disks that were broken due to a fist tantrum – 2021 pandemic was prolific on those! - ddrescue Iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPTīeing the "guy that knows computers" I get around 20 HDDs per year that need saving. Iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPT On recent editions of SystemRescueCD iptables is started by default, so you have to stop it (or configure it to accept connections on port 22), before connecting to the sshd server. From there you can download/upload to the HDDs on that machine bypassing the Operative System. It’s very easy to spin up SystemRescueCD on any machine, and you’ll get a full sshd server to connect to. This is the one that brought me to this post. The usage I give it the most are:īy the very talented Jose Mizrahi Data Transfer SystemRescueCD is an amazing tool that packs a myriad of admin stuff. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unlimited Features and Generate Coins, Cash fast Fully Optimized Township mod tool interface Township Hack Hack Features and Additions In doing we so we will have Township funding for our further Township Hack development.

![]() Elric has continued to travel the Young Kingdom, although now as a wandering hermit rather than as an Emperor in search of wisdom. "While the Gods Laugh" is set a further year into the future. While Moorcock’s ability to create interesting creatures and landscapes shines, Imrryr is only painted with a few quick strokes and pales in comparison to many of the famed cities of fantasy, most notably Fritz Leiber’s “Lankhmar.” While the Imrryr seen in Elric of Melniboné seems a more fully realized city, the city destroyed in "The Dreaming City," seems strangely vacant and undeveloped. Although his treasonous acts against his people demonstrate his callousness, it is seen most clearly in the way he leaves Smiorgan to his fate. His one demand of the raiders as they destroy the city and rape and murder his erstwhile subjects, is that Yyrkoon and Cymoril be left unmolested to allow him to deal with them. Apparently Yyrkoon’s usurpation of his throne coupled with Elric’s own travels throughout the Young Kingdoms as decribed (slightly) in The Fortress of the Pearl and The Sailor on the Seas of Fate have led Elric to decide that the time has come for Melniboné to no longer exist. The story focuses on Elric leading a band of raiders from the Young Kingdoms against his kingdom, Melniboné with the eye to destroying it. Given the enormous role Cymoril and Yyrkoon play in Elric’s legend, it is difficult to remember they only appear in two of the stories. ![]() When read in the order collected in books, it includes characters previously seen, including a maddened and gibbering Yyrkoon, much less intriguing that the schemer he was in Elric of Melniboné, a Cymoril who spends most of her time asleep under an enchantment, and, despite Elric’s professed love for her, is merely one in a long line of mistreated and un-developed female characters, and Smiorgan Baldhead of the Purple Towns. The book continues with "The Dreaming City," which was first published in 1961 and introduced Elric and his world. It serves as a prologue to the book, however the following stories don’t flow from Aubec’s adventure, refer back to it, or even take place in the part of the Young Kingdoms where Aubec adventures. Aubec is also to give a view of the Chaos that reigns over the edge of the world in a manner which is never really shown through Elric’s eyes or visions.Īlthough Elric was described as using Aubec’s sword prior to his own acquisition of Stormbringer, and the clear tie Aubec has to the Young Kingdoms, the story seems out of place as the opening of The Weird of the White Wolf. Aubec is on a mission for his queen, Eloarde, to capture the Castle Kaneloon and expand her realm to the edge of the world. The story offers insight into the world as seen from the point of view of a human, rather than a Melnibonéan. ![]() Michael Moorcock’s The Weird of the White Wolf opens with "The Dream of Earl Aubec," a story set hundreds of years before Elric’s birth, a recounting of the legend of Earl Aubec of Malador, who is referred to earlier in the Elric cycle and whose sword was wielded by Elric prior to his acquisition of Stormbringer. THE WEIRD ON THE WHITE WOLF by Michael Moorcock DAW Books 978-0-87997-285-8 160pp/$1.25/December 1977 ![]() ![]() ![]() The issue was downplayed in 2018 but its re-emergence this week, in the aftermath of the LastPass breach, has prompted Bitwarden to act. The public disclosure of the issue this week prompted cryptographer Nadim Kobeissi to point out that he and a team of colleagues had uncovered and reported (PDF) the same problem five years ago. The LastPass breach prompted Palant to investigate practices in this area among other password vault developers, uncovering shortcomings with Bitwarden’s approach in the process. Much worse yet, it had failed to migrate older accounts to even this suboptimal level, leaving them with just 5,000 rounds of protection. LastPass was faulted for applying fewer than the recommended number of iterations in hashing users’ encryption keys, performing only 100,000 in the best-case scenario. LastPass breach aftermath revisitedįailure to follow industry best practice on the number of hashing iterations becomes a live problem in the event of a password vault server breach, a calamity that recently befell LastPass. Hashing this password through an insufficient number of iterations leaves secrets at risk to potential brute-force attacks. Password vault data can only be decrypted using a key derived from a user’s master password. In response to this blog post, a Bitwarden user claimed an account they started using in 2020 operated with just 5,000 iterations (adding that increasing the count to 200,000 failed to cause a “noticeable slowdown”). ![]() Palant posted a technical blog post on the issue on Monday (January 23). And, much worse, older accounts were stuck with much lower security settings (unless they manually increased iterations on their settings).Ĭatch up on the latest encryption-related security news and analysis But security researcher Wladimir Palant has warned that, while this might sound impressive, the server-side iterations are ineffective. In this scenario, OWASP recommends using the PBKDF2 algorithm with random salts, SHA-256, and 600,000 iterations (a figure recently increased from the previous recommendation of 310,00 rounds).īitwarden said that its data is protected with 200,001 iterations – 100,001 iterations on the client side and a further 100,000 on the server side. ![]() The issue centers on the number of PBKDF2 hash iterations used to compute the decryption key for a user’s password vault. UPDATED Password vault vendor Bitwarden has responded to renewed criticism of the encryption scheme it uses to protect users’ secret encryption keys by enhancing the mechanism’s default security configuration.

They can be found on Ebay ranging in price from $300 to $1000 depending on color. As a transistor radio collector I think it’s important to have one example of this historic radio in your collection. During times of emergencies, all stations except the CONELRAD stations at 6 AM would cease operations (note that some Japanese radios made by Sharp and Hitachi during the late 50’s left out the CD marks).Īmerican companies were the first out of the solid-state-radio gate with the release of the Regency TR-1 on (it sold well into 19 as the re-designed TR-1G and TR-4). CONELRAD established two civil defense frequencies, 6 kilohertz. To counteract the potential for a Russian air attack on North America the US Government enacted the CONELRAD program, which stood for CONtrol of ELectromagnetic RADiation. CD stood for Civil Defense and was taken very seriously in the 50’s and 60’s due to the communist “red scare.” These are CD marks, which appeared on all radios manufactured or sold in the U.S. One easy way to date a transistor radio to this period is to look for small triangles or circles between the 6 & 7 and the 12 & 16 on the dial. Generally, the most collectable and historic transistor radios are those made in Japan from 1956 to 1963 and America from 1955-60. There are a few exceptions which I will talk about shortly. What we’ve realized over the years is that these radios are not as rare or scarce as once thought. They predate eBay and the quoted prices are often higher than present day values. Most of the price guides on the market were released well over ten years ago during the first “wave” of transistor radio collecting. I suggest spending some time on the internet or scanning the pages of the few transistor radio price guides to research makes and models. Have fun and buy radios that appeal to your personal tastes. Sure, you’ll want some key radios but make sure you collect what you like. ![]() Although the main focus of this article is to broaden your knowledge base, make sure you don’t just collect for investment or get caught up in only possessing what are considered “must haves”. By your fourth radio you will be considered a “collector” and will be hooked! There will be no turning back from the appeal of these mid-century, technical and artistic marvels.īefore spending too much money I recommend you take some time, do your homework and educate yourself. Well, be warned! If you buy one transistor radio it will most likely grow to two, then three. ![]() Perhaps you recently saw a picture of a cool looking pocket radio from the early 1960’s and were reminded of your carefree, youthful days? Maybe it was the pastel colors or atomic aged designs that caught your eye? Or the chrome highlights that attracted your attention? Nonetheless, you find yourself actively seeking them out at the local flea market or surfing eBay for a good deal. Michael Jack, whose personal Flickr website is a member of our Hall of Fame, is a collector of vintage transistor radios. ![]() |
