![]() A resident can voluntarily use his Aadhaar number in physical or electronic form by way of authentication or offline verification, or in such other form as may be specified by UIDAI. Further, under the Aadhaar Act, 2016 stringent penalties, including fines and imprisonment are provided whenever a person misuses your Aadhaar number or tries to cause any harm to you.Īs per the Supreme Court Judgement in the Aadhaar case (494 of 2012), residents are no longer required to mandatorily verify Bank account with Aadhaar. In fact, Aadhaar is more secure than many other identity documents, because unlike other IDs, Aadhaar is instantly verifiable through biometric and OTP authentication and QR code. But did they stop using these documents for the fear that somebody would use them to impersonate? No! They continue using them and if any fraud happens, the law enforcement agencies handle them as per law. People have been freely giving other identity documents such as passport, voter ID, PAN card, ration card, driving license, etc. Hence, it is near impossible to impersonate you if you use Aadhaar to prove your identity. Verification is done through fingerprint, iris scan, OTP authentication, and QR code etc. Also, as per the Aadhaar Act 2016, the Aadhaar card is required to be verified either by in physical or electronic formby way of authentication or offline verification, or in such other form as may be specified. Aadhaar identity, instead, is instantly verifiable and hence more trusted. It’s just like any other identity document such as passport, voter ID, PAN card, ration card, driving license, etc., that you have been using freely for decades with service providers. Just, by knowing your Aadhaar number, no one can harm you. Also, some of ministries/ departments and State governments too have notified acceptance of Aadhaar as an Identity document. Currently, it has been notified as PoI and PoA by RBI, SEBI, PFRDA, DoT, PMLA and SEBI. This uniqueness property of Aadhaar allows it to act as a robust ID, hence, Aadhaar is accepted as Proof of Identity and Proof of Address for an Aadhaar Holder. This ensures that one Aadhaar is issued only to one Resident and one Resident gets only one Aadhaar for the lifetime. Based on the NPR (National Population Register) process of public scrutinyįurther, as part of Aadhaar issuance process, each enrolment request undergoes requisite quality checks with the necessary bio-metric deduplication, thereafter UIDAI issues a digital ID to the resident. ![]() ![]() To achieve this 3 distinct methods of verification were adopted: As a part of building a Robust Digital ID, it is essential that key demographic data was verified properly to facilitate authentication of identity by various systems.

![]() But it's his business model and he can proceed any which way he wants, and I respect that.Īnd that's what I don't like. too many expect this to be free and, when there's a delay introducing a new free key, people start to vocally question whether the project is still viable and begin discussing alternatives. However, I do challenge all those concerned with the delay that, when the new beta key becomes available and their fears are calmed for the moment, to purchase MakeMKV so we don't go through another round of this the next time the beta key expires. But it's his business model and he can proceed any which way he wants, and I respect that. I don't know him or pretend to know what's going on in his mind but he is creating a situation where too many expect this to be free and, when there's a delay introducing a new free key, people start to vocally question whether the project is still viable and begin discussing alternatives. My fear for MakeMKV is not that it takes Mike time to come up with a new key but that his business model for so long has included free keys. That is the nature of this type of product. It's not 20 minutes, it's for more than 10 days now!ĭon't kid yourself, any software that smells of cracking encryption is under attack, including DVDFab if you recall, they were temporarily shut down as well a couple years back. But don't bitch if it isn't updated within 20 minutes of expiration. I've used the beta keys for years and paid nothing so this would be my way of saying "thank you" and paying retroactively for something that's served me well. I'd be disappointed if Mike stopped developing MakeMKV but I wouldn't be angry even just having plunked down $50. I also don't use MakeMKV for decryption but instead rely on RedFox AnyDVD (yes, just bought a new LTL for that as well even with the uncertainty that arose from Slysoft's demise). ![]() Even if it's never updated again, it's still worth it cause you could combine it with another decryption software and call it good if you really had to. That simply means patience is required until the new key and/or version are posted. The price you pay for using it for free is that from time to time the beta key may be late or a new version may be delayed. It's worked perfectly for me for a long time. I bought my license years ago and have no regrets at all. I personally don't rely on MakeMKV for decryption and use it strictly for its mkv making abilities.

The timing was actually the most perfect it can get to buy it. I think it kind of worked out for me in the end. Which is still excellent for non-subscription software. It was all same-day, pretty much all within 5 minutes of making the purchase.įor me, in Canada, it came up to 73.31 CAD after conversion. Much simpler than the longer routes of using other tools. I had the money for it and it was either going to be this or any one of other software (not necessarily decyption software), but I ultimately decided on this as I like using it for ripping DVD's to MKV a lot. I wish there was an option to support the project at a lower investment level. 2) I really only use the app every now and then. 1) Has anyone bought through Avangate in the past week? Are they turning around codes quickly or are we waiting on Mike for permanent codes as well? In which case, no urgency to buy right now. I am also tired of dealing with the beta codes and would be willing to support the project. Robertpetry wrote:It might be the right time to buy. And I don't have to wait for the temporary beta keys again. I've been using the betas for a number of years now, and very regularly, so decided it's time to pony up for something that has served me well (thanks, Mike!). Personally speaking, I think it's the right time to buy. Means for example for the bluray copy edition something about 76,- €! You can find an other well known software in internet, which is at moment 20% off. Has it already ever occurred that the key was a week overdue? Maybe the software is no longer being developed.

There’s also a 3.5mm audio jack so you can use wired earbuds or headphones for better noise isolation and spatial audio. That said, it is not the same: there’s a lot less distortion than before, and the sound can be pumped up to a pretty deafening volume – it just means that, unlike with over-the-ear headphones or earbuds, people around you can hear a lot more of what’s going on. The audio system on the Quest 3 is similar to that found on the Quest 2, meaning it sits away from your ear. In fast-moving games like Beat Saber, the ability to play at a higher frame rate really lends to ultra-smooth motion without any stuttering. ![]() Other improvements to the optics include a wider 110-degree FOV for better immersion (less tunnel vision) relative to the Quest 2’s 90 degrees, and 120Hz support right at launch. Aside from being slimmer, the display boasts uniform edge-to-edge clarity and less lens glare. Fortunately, the Quest 3 does away with the Fresnel lenses found in the Quest 2 and adopts the pancake lenses first seen in the Quest Pro. ![]() The center of the display is obviously sharper than the edges, and you have to wear your headset perfectly to get it focused. This new version also addresses one of my biggest issues with the Quest 2’s optics, which is its narrow sweet spot. ![]() We’re not quite living the dream yet, since it could definitely be sharper (as compared to my 4K PC monitor), but it does look better than any comparable headset. You can see it most clearly with textual elements like in-game huds, menus, and virtual browsers, and with technically demanding games like Microsoft Flight Simulator when you’re tethered to your PC. The Quest 3 sports dual 2064x2208 LCD displays – that’s 30% more pixel density than the Quest 2 – and the result is, as you’d expect, improved visual clarity. Meta does sell a facial interface with an easier-to-clean silicone cover pre-attached, but you’ll have to pony up another $30 to get it. That’s a sanitation issue because the padding isn’t removable you have to detach the entire plastic facial interface, so you can’t just toss it into the washer. The facial interface is lined with a foam padding that, although is comfortable, will absorb your sweat like a sponge. The aggressively-curved facial interface means that there’s also a good amount of light spilling in from the nose bridge you’ll have to deal with it for the time being because Meta currently doesn’t sell a full light blocker like it does with the Quest Pro. I simply set it to the shortest depth to get the maximum 110-degree FOV, but if you wear glasses for VR you’ll appreciate the extra space. The Quest 3 also lets you adjust the depth of the facial interface, or how far from your face the screen is. The Quest 3 now offers continuous IPD adjustment, which ranges from 58mm to 70mm, easily manipulated by a little rotary dial on the bottom of the visor. Meta listened to user complaints about the limited IPD adjustability on the Quest 2, which only has three specific IPD stops (58mm, 63mm, and 68mm). If you want to swap it out for a more robust, hard plastic alternative, the Elite Strap will run you another $70. The soft, cloth head strap has also been redesigned so that it’s easier to adjust, and it does a good job of keeping the headset firmly in place without applying too much pressure – even during intense Beat Saber sessions. The Quest 3 still mounts the same way as the 2, but it protrudes out from your head by about an inch less than before, which means it feels less front-heavy. The Quest 2 isn’t the most comfortable headset for long gaming sessions because the facial interface is pressed against your temples and cheeks, which isn’t nearly as comfortable as the PS VR2’s halo-style head strap that rests on top of your head. On a positive note, the ergonomics have been improved. There’s no weight savings either, unfortunately I weighed my Quest 3 visor without the strap at 459 grams, which is actually three grams heavier than a strapless 2. Meta claims that the Quest 3 is 40% slimmer, but if you look at the fine print you’ll see that the comparison excludes the facial interface, which is thicker on the Quest 3. The first thought that came to mind when unboxing the Quest 3 was just how similar it looked to the Quest 2. The contents include the headset itself, a pre-installed foam facial interface, two Touch Plus controllers with pre-installed wrist straps and AA batteries, an 18W power adapter, and a USB Type-C charging cable for the headset itself. I don’t mind because I’d rather not spend extra money on fancy packaging. The Meta Quest 3 arrives in a deceptively small, rather spartan looking box. ![]() In memory of Shayne Merrill Bock, please visit our floral store.

If there is one designer who fully comprehends the influence of the hip-hop multi-hyphenate, it’s Virgil Abloh. Suddenly the idea of drawing boundaries, be they along gender or genre lines, seemed deeply old-fashioned. Besides being a really great clotheshorse, Rocky was carving out space for a new kind of open-minded hip-hop renaissance man, one who was wasn’t confined to any one creative pursuit rather, he dabbled in all of them-music, art, design, film, fashion. But more than that, it won him the respect of some of the most visionary designers of the decade: Rick Owens, Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, and most notably Raf Simons. Those no-holds-barred fashion instincts earned Rocky a front row seat at just about every important men’s show in Paris and Milan. ![]() In fact, few men (or women for that matter) can claim to rock a babushka with quite the same panache as he does.

Four years later, he caused a stir all over again, appearing on ESPN’s SportsNation wearing a sheer shirt, chandelier earrings, and a floppy hat. Though he’s considered an eccentric outlier of mainstream hip-hop, Lil B hit on the moment when he released “Tight Pants” in 2011, a single in defense of the slinky rock ’n’ roll look. Lil Wayne caused an online frenzy when he performed at the VMAs in 2011 dressed in women’s leopard-print jeggings. Danny Brown, an indie rapper from Detroit who gained popularity in the early 2010s, claimed to have been refused a record deal by 50 Cent based on the fact that Brown was wearing skinny jeans. In fashion terms, that which divided the old guard from the new came down the proportions of their pants. ![]() Within hours of its release on August 25, 2016, the image had spread across social media, igniting a debate that seemed to rage on for months thereafter: Here was a male rapper who dared to command the world of hip-hop, a genre so often defined by hypermasculinity, in a dress. His flamboyant selfies were already the stuff of Instagram legend, brimming with pearl and diamond chokers, fur-trimmed Ugg boots, and colorful Fendi pom-pom keychains that swung from the belt loops of his skinny jeans. The hip-hop Twitterverse for sure knew their guy. Could this really be Jeffrey Lamar Williams, better known as Young Thug, or was this some aspiring performance artist scrambling for Internet fame? Save for the tattoo art creeping up his bejeweled wrists and the twisted dreadlocks poking out from under his conical hat-like a cocktail umbrella, only gigantic-the hip-hop star is barely recognizable. It was the mixtape that launched a thousand memes: Young Thug’s Jeffrey, the cover art of which features the gangly, six-foot-three-inch rapper decked out in a dramatic gown of floor-sweeping periwinkle ruffles. ![]() ![]() Seeping through volcanic vents, soil and bodies of water.

The Magnificent FiveEach member of your bloodthirsty brigade has their own specific skills and tools, and much of Desperados 3 is spent hiding in bushes for several minutes at a time trying to decide exactly which combination of them is required to systematically snuff out each area full of enemies. Although it admittedly seems a little odd when these back-and-forths continue even when the characters are separated by large stretches of the map, almost as though they’ve been outfitted with walkie talkies by a time-traveling Doc Brown. An early mission sees two characters make a bet to see who can claim the most scalps, and then with each subsequent kill you can hear them call out their running tallies like Gimli and Legolas in Lord of the Rings, which is just one of numerous nice little touches. Their contextual banter as you make your way through each murderous mission really helps to define their individual personalities, making for an outlaw gang I was consistently happy to be at the reigns of.
