Following a near-perfect growing season, harvest commenced on September 5th just as the grapes reflected an ideal balance between freshness and concentration. Timely rainfall and a continuation of mild and dry conditions throughout the year allowed the grapevines to support the slightly higher-than-expected yields. The 2014 vintage was precocious – marked by the earliest bud break in our history.

Fine-grained tannins offer a velvety texture and complex structure that builds to a long, vibrantly fresh finish with a touch of mocha. The 2014 Opus One exudes subtle aromas of fragrant florals, fresh garden herbs and forest floor that give way to a concentrated blend of red cherry, blackberry and black currant. Nearly four decades later, we continue to refine the complex subtleties of Opus One by honoring traditional methods and the continual pursuit of innovation and improvement. ![]() When our founders created Opus One, they dreamed of a great wine that would transcend generations. Dedicated to uncompromised quality, Opus One’s sole purpose is to express this vision and passionate spirit for generations to come. Opus One, like any great work, arose out of passion. ![]()

The beach is open to hotel guests from 7 am to 7 pm, with shuttles every 15 minutes. The shuttle comes inside the atrium on the ground level. Your room key becomes your pass to board the shuttle boat. They also offered to let us keep the keys to go to Flamingo Beach the next day when we checked out. If our room had not been ready, the valet would have kept our bags while we visited Flamingo Beach, Aruba Renaissance’s private island. HOT TIP! Always join a hotel rewards program ahead of your travel – in this case, being a Marriott rewards member gave us a 15% discount on the room rate plus we were upgraded by two room categories!

Unfortunately, Allan walked back before we could finalize details which created some confusion later on!Īrriving at 11 am, we lucked out that our hotel room was ready and we dropped off our stuff before exploring. The front desk person assured me that she would send a bottle of the house champagne. I told them that we were celebrating Allan’s 50th birthday and that I wanted a bottle of champagne delivered to our room later in the evening. And the front desk staff’s service was impressive! Upon check-in, they asked whether we were celebrating any special occasion. Being a Marriott Rewards member, the staff upgraded our reservation from the cheapest room to an Ocean King. ![]() Rooms face either inside, viewing the atrium, or outside, with views of the city or the marina.

One of the few things I absolutely dreamed of doing while in Aruba was to go to Flamingo Beach. After looking at various blogs and tips on how to get there, it seemed the most logical to book a night at the Aruba Renaissance Hotel & Casino (now known as the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort). When we first made overlapping hotel reservations in two different resorts, I wondered whether or not I was violating a The Common Traveler mainstay of being sensible – but the splurge of spending the night at the Aruba Renaissance Hotel was very much worth it!

As described in the previous section game engines are limited in the amount of CPU threads they can use so you are not losing anything. Process Lasso allows you to control how many cores/threads a program is able to use in Windows.īy disabling cores/threads you can see improvements in clockspeeds and thermals. Even most recent games seem to top out at 8 threads with only small marginal improvements on machines with more than this. Most game engines aren't able to take advantage of all the threads of a CPU.
![]() The Fujifilm X-S10 comes at a lower price than the Canon EOS R7 but still offers a ton of value. If you're considering an APS-C camera for portability, you may prefer the Fujifilm X-S20, which is smaller and cheaper but has slower burst shooting and a slightly less reliable autofocus system. Performance aside, it's also sturdy and weather-sealed, with an outstanding battery life among mirrorless options. The camera also has best-in-class autofocus and quick burst shooting, so it's a great choice for sports and wildlife photography. With a fantastic in-body image stabilization system, it's well-equipped for handheld video work or photos at slower shutter speeds. Besides, there's enough to love about this camera that it's still a top contender in this price range. Although crop sensor RF lenses are still limited, you can always adapt EF lenses if you're already a Canon DSLR shooter. It's a well-rounded APS-C camera with everything you need to capture high-quality photos and videos. The Canon EOS R7 is the best mid-range model we've tested. Though its smaller sensor doesn't handle noise in low light as well as the Nikon's full-frame sensor, its remarkably high 40-megapixel resolution captures stunning detail and gives you a bit more leeway to crop your images. If you're looking for a more portable kit and don't mind giving up a full-frame sensor, the Fujifilm X-T5 is a fantastic enthusiast-oriented APS-C model that falls around the same price point. Nikon's Z lenses are also spectacular, particularly the high-end S Line, although they can be quite pricy, and lens selection is still limited compared to competitors. Plus, it handles like a dream, with amazing ergonomics and an intuitive user interface. ![]() You'll get excellent image quality from its sensor and very quick burst shooting for faster subjects. Though it falls behind in advanced video features, this is still a well-rounded camera for amateurs and enthusiasts. The Nikon Z 6II is a more affordable full-frame option than the Sony α7 IV and a fantastic camera for photography. However, lens selection is much better for Sony's E-mount, with both native and third-party options available at various price points, making the α7 IV our top pick overall. Unlike the Sony, it supports RAW video output over HDMI and uncropped 4k at 60 fps. It's a good alternative to the Sony if you need faster burst shooting, with a burst rate of up to 40 fps in its electronic shutter mode. ![]() On top of that, it has an updated autofocus system with some of the most reliable AF tracking on the market and advanced features like in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and dual memory card slots. It's also a video beast, with 4k recording at up to 60 fps, albeit with a notable crop, and internal 10-bit 4:2:2 capture.Īnother great option at this price point is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. If you're looking for a powerful hybrid camera that can handle all kinds of photo and video work, this is a sure bet. Improving on the best-selling Sony α7 III, it has a new 33-megapixel sensor that captures an amazing level of detail. The Sony α7 IV is the best mirrorless camera we've tested.

They're typically more portable than traditional DSLRs, feature responsive, precise autofocus systems, and have electronic viewfinders that let you preview exposure adjustments in real time. While, for some, that may mean there's no better time to get a DSLR, as their prices drop, getting a mirrorless camera is the way to go if you want to enjoy the best that camera tech offers. ![]() With camera stalwarts like Canon and Nikon announcing they'll no longer produce new DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have all but won the camera technology wars. ![]() ![]() The only missing weapon so far is the Spear, it’s NPC’s location is currently unknown but it’s speculation is a Judge NPC in front of the court house in Timberian.

The DualSense is supported natively in selected games, where features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback are natively supported (see support in games), however it is only supported with a wired connection. DS4Windows is an open-source gamepad input mapper and virtual emulator designed to use and connect your PlayStation controller (DualShock 3/4 and DualSense 5) to a Windows 10/11 PC. Some wrappers can expose additional features such as gyroscope, touchpad control including the ability to change lightbar color, and built-in speaker. The DualSense is a generic DirectInput controller, so it is not supported by games that use the XInput API unless XInput wrappers like Steam Input are used. It has a pro-orientated version in the form of DualSense Edge, which was released on January 26, 2023. It also has limited editions for games like God of War Ragnarok and Hogwarts Legacy. In addition to the standard white color model, the DualSense also comes in midnight black, cosmic red, nova pink, starlight blue, galactic purple and grey camouflage.

In addition, the remote app does not recognize keyboard arrow keys as input when the controller is running, but when I turn it off ordinarily the keyboard arrow keys can be used to maneuver arround on the console. Maybe somebody here found a solution to my problem?(The PS4 controller has either been shut off before engaging the PS5 controller, or was never turned on turing my test runs, so I can say there should be no troubles from having two main input devices registered at the same time?) As there are video clips out there where people use DS4Windows with remote play and PS5 controllers and I managed to get one actually working input button, I am sure this should be able to work somehow. So it does recognize input, but only from one button? Not sure what happens here. But, when I moved to some other menu on the console with my PS4 controller and I press the Playstation button of my PS5 controller, the console switches to its default menu where you select your apps/games. no additional side menu shows up when I press "options"). To be precise:- I connected my PS4 via "PS Remote Play" to my computer and can use it normally with my PC monitor as remote PS4 screen, when the console gets its input from the original PS4 controller.- I play PC games with a PS5 controller that is connected via DS4Windows as I had troubles to connect it via normal bluetooth connection und this is a good work around for me.- When I start PS Remote Play with a via DS4Windows connected PS5 controller (input gets recognized, checked it via its "Controller Readings" menu) I can let the remote app start to search for my connected PS4 py pressing the "options" button on the controller, but when the connection has been set, no ordinary input is recognized anymore (f.e. ago id love to play my ps5 on kb/mouse through remote play if possible i cannot get my mapped keys to work with my ps5 controller. So I would like to use my PS4 without switching any controllers or plugging in and out any cables (current setup is pretty limited) therefor I came up with following setup that should work in theory as many stated and demonstrated they managed to set smth like this up and what bothers me the most, already works but only to a small part. 1 4 4 comments Best Add a Comment rKanuan 2 yr. ![]() |
