Alibaba tencent wechat pay beijing11/29/2022 ![]() Successfully solving the trust issue, Alipay saw tremendous growth on Taobao plaform, and even started to be used on other platforms outside of the Alibaba ecosystem.Īlong the way, Alipay put a lot of emphasis on improving payment authorization rate in order to guarantee the best user experience. So Taobao introduced Alipay as a 3rd party to temporarily hold the money paid by the buyer, and would not release the money to the seller until the buyer confirms that the product was received and in good condition. Back then, many conversations between sellers and buyers on Taobao failed to result in a transaction, often times because both sides suspected each other as fraudsters. To enhance its competitive advantage, Taobao tried to solve the biggest pain point in ecommerce in China at that point - the trust between seller and buyer. ![]() ![]() It was right after eBay acquired in China, and Taobao saw this acquisition as a major threat for its marketplace business. So I decided to write a piece about Alipay and WeChat Pay about their history, how they shaped the ecommerce and payment industries in China, and their growing impact outside of China.(Disclaimer: all views are my own, not related to my employer.)īorn in 2004, Alipay was first created as the payment department of Taobao, the B2C platform of Alibaba Group. Recently I have been getting a lot of questions from my American and European friends and colleagues about what Alipay and WeChat Pay do and what impact they have made on the payment industry, as increasingly more businesses start to realize their importance thanks to their media traction lately.

It was a bit jarring at first (this reviewer being someone who put over 50 hours into the game on both PS2 and PS3), but it’s a welcome change. Lastly, the final noticeable difference is that cutscenes in Devil May Cry 3 have removed the widescreen bars and now take up the entire screen. The textures and assets still remain identical to the original PS2 releases, however. Whereas the PS3 version was running at 720p, this one has been upscaled to 1080p. On the PS3 version, you had to actually quit out of the entire application, load the XMB, then relaunch the game. ![]() Simply pressing the touchpad at the main menu of any title will take you back. First off, a very welcome feature (that was oddly omitted on PS3) is the ability to actually exit the Devil May Cry game you’re playing and go back to the game selection screen. However, some differences were found in this version versus the previous. ![]() Let’s make this clear: Devil May Cry HD Collection is essentially a straight port of the PS3 remaster. So, is this trilogy still “stylish”, or has it hit a “dull” slate? Naturally, Capcom had decided to remaster the original PS2 trilogy on PlayStation 3 back in 2012, and now, we've got a port of the remaster for PlayStation 4 here in 2018. Since then, the series has seen several sequels that varied in quality, but ultimately still provided some of the most exciting and engaging gameplay to date. Devil May Cry is a franchise that revolutionised hack-and-slash gaming back when it first released in October 2001 for the PlayStation 2. ![]() Pandemonium lauren oliver tough questions11/29/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed. It’s so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to come. Lena counts down the days to her procedure like I used to count down the days until I “make it” which is hysterical considering how do you know? Then when you do, you don’t really have the time to realize you’ve made it until you’re right in the middle of it…or sometimes after it’s happened in which case, it’s just a memory then. Take it from someone who couldn’t even comprehend the word up until a few years ago. Lesson Number One – It’s hard to be patient.

Forum rocrail11/28/2022 ![]() FORUM ROCRAIL DOWNLOADI have a download but have never tried it, so nows the time I think. If it doesn't suit then you have nothing to lose. FORUM ROCRAIL FREEI suggest you give it a try as it is free to download, has a demo mode, supports your kit and has superb support from its originators, administrators and forum members. The forum is very good and in several languages, as is the manual. Almost everything is customisable if you want to, or just use their defaults. It can be configured modular, semi or fully automatic or as simple as you need it to be according to your skill level and/or kit. Rocrail is extremely comprehensive in what it can do, including using your phone or i-pad as a controller, operate turntables, traversers, etc. With Rocrail you can operate DCC points by clicking on the screen or have a route set them up for you or have them all set to a specific start-up configuration. This helps me set my points which are analogue for convenience via rotary selector switches and push to make buttons. In fact once it is switched on I never need to touch it as you can switch track power on/off from Rocrail.īy setting up blocks on my trackplan I can get Rocrail to analyse possible routes. No more multiple selections on your command station. Operating lcoc functions is also just a mouse click on the throttle dialogue box. I use the trackplan as a mimic panel and open multiple throttles to get round the Elite 2 locos in hand limitation.Ĭalling up a loco is as simple as a mouse click and you can even set up maintenance intervals, when Rocrail will flag your loco is due shed time. I have no occupancy detectors or feedback system so I run completely manually at the moment. Za pravopisné chyby v této zpráv me moje uitelka etiny. Mimochodem - Rocrail je software, který si poutím asi nejastji. FORUM ROCRAIL PRORead Rocrail ZIP for more information and Change to ZIP-installation (Windows) for changing from 'classic-' to ZIP-installation. Ono hlavn - pro psát sem, kdy na je podobné fórum. ZIP installers can be unzipped in user space, and do not need any administrator privilege. I feel that it will be a few years before it is ready to take on JMRI or Railroad & Co head-to-head. Use the ZIP installer for your OS, and report any problem in the Rocrail Forum. RocRail seems to be designed so that you can have multiple computers controlling the layout and some bits are more finished than others. FORUM ROCRAIL INSTALLDecoderPro is excellent and you should install that whatever layout control software you decide on. JMRI allows you to tweak and supports all sorts of oddities but if you want to do anything fancy you do need to be willing to write some form of computer code. Whilst it may seem expensive it is a lot quicker and easier to get to grips with than JMRI. It has a fairly friendly user interface and is driven by what the market wants. RR&Co is designed so that the end user doesn't need to worry about how the program works its magic and has no facility to tweak it for specialist kit, such as MERG CBus. It follows the JMRI model of public domain software with developers who develop what they want and the documentation tends to assume you know things rather than starting from scratch. net/viewtopic.At the moment it is still very much a work in progress. In this simple example using all and all-reverse does the trick, but when you look at the plan file posted in this topic: forum.rocrail. When I drive counterclockwise I want 2l as enter and 2r as in, but, although both routes are shown in the routes tab of the block properties, I can not change them indepently because Rocrail does not distinquish them, Rocrail only looks to the from property, which is identical for both routes. I can drive from 1 to 2 clockwise, then I want sensor 2r as enter and sensor 2l as in event. The attached plan is a very very simple example, a circle with two blocks. When there are two possible routes to go from 1 to 2 it is not possible to define seperate sensor events for these two routes because only the from block information is stored and not also the using route information. The fbevent definition in the block defioniton stores the from block information, but is does not store the route that is used to go from block 1 to block 2. ![]() Speed up my phone11/28/2022 ![]() You may notice the performance difference as you switch between apps. To do this, launch Settings and go to General -> Accessibility -> Motion -> Reduce Motion and use the toggle to turn it on. They may look nice visually, but they can come with a performance cost, thus disabling them can make the device feel faster. Enabling the Reduce Motion feature on an iPhone or iPad can make the device feel faster by eliminating a lot of unnecessary animations that are used throughout the operating system. This could make a difference if you’re using an older iPhone or iPad model that supports iOS 14. This should make your iPhone or iPad feel a little snappier and alleviate any battery drain issues. To disable background activity, open Settings and go to General -> Background App Refresh and set it to OFF. Disabling Background App Refresh can certainly help speed up some iPhones and iPads, especially the older models.

Apple usually tends to address stability issues and bugs with a subsequent update, so it’d be a good idea to install those. Install Any New Update if AvailableĪlthough you updated to iOS 14 recently, just make sure you have any additional hotfix updates available for your device. Fortunately, it resolves itself over time, so just plug in your device at night and leave it be, and repeat a few nights in a row if necessary. The initial background activity that occurs after updating an iPhone or iPad to a new system software version is typically the number one reason a device ‘feels’ slow. But things should go back to normal once the background activity is complete. Keep in mind that these tasks can drain the battery on your iPhone or iPad faster than usual too. The background tasks, indexing activity, and other housekeeping tasks should be done by the time you wake up, and the performance should no longer feel slow or sluggish. Leaving your iPhone or iPad plugged in and connected to the internet overnight is often an ideal thing to do, and if you have a ton of stuff on your device (tens of thousands of photos and videos, documents, etc) then even a few nights can be needed. Let your iPhone or iPad be done with all the background activity and indexing to ensure smooth operation. This is normal, so please be patient and give it a while.
