![]() The realistic nature of his story, stumbling over what happened when, looping back and forth in time to pick up dropped threads, contributes to its impact: you could be in a New York bar, lending a sympathetic ear to a self-pitying tale of woe. As it is, the reader becomes trapped inside the mind of a howling paranoid. A fiction would have more logic, more shape the wrongs done to Mr Anonymous would be more substantial and his outrage more proportionate. However, if one chooses to read it as an unfiltered account of real events, the strangely feverish splurge of the narrative makes more sense. One can never know to what extent this first-person account of a broken-hearted advertising creative who once “liked hurting girls” before the tables were turned on him is autobiographical, and there’s a strong argument for it not mattering. Women still feel the need to understand the black undertow of the male psyche, and Anonymous shows one brutal face of it very clearly.Īn important book for today’s bubbled zeitgeist, if not just for the debate.Since the author of this short, anguished novel first self-published it in 2006, it has assumed cult status, with no shortage of readers testifying to its powerful effect. And yet, this book is a cult classic with the hipster Feminista, selling out in small bookshops that cater almost entirely to this demographic in both the UK and US. Is it unnecessarily violent and coarse? Yes. However, it is a good example of what self-published turned bidding-war-echelon-published can look like. It would have also benefitted from a developmental edit before it was published. The writing does err on the self-published side at times, and could have done with being a little longer as the ending is rushed. What are privileged white men to do with their status? Where do you go from the top? This one decides a battery of revenge on the gamey female is the only solution. It’s a cynical heave at the privileged white male gone awry as American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and The Sandman by Miles Gibson were before it, something the writer was already feeling in the water in 2006. It’s not, as the critics have puzzlingly said, a “hilarious” read. There are many points that will sting with reality, such as the way he lines women up to date, and the woman who tries to woo him with a “bullshit vegetarian meal” that still bubbles on the stove uneaten as he rapes her on the kitchen floor. There is a raw, nerve-catching edge of male angst on show that is rarely talked about. It would be an interesting experiment to read this book in one sitting, though it’s doubtful any reader would be able to shake it off easily if they did. ![]() There is space for the reader to crawl away in disgust, but the pace leads on to take in yet another nugget of pain. Short sentences pepper the page, doing their job to get the story out. The irony is that the reader will also be using their eyes to experience in detail his sick experiences. Some women seem to be playing the same game as him, “whatever that is,” he says. He also says that their eyes draw him in. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He says he has honest eyes that helped him dupe girls into loving him. As his exploits grow increasingly sadistic, he both semi-rapes and beats up women, without pleasure or remorse.Įyes are a theme. At the beginning of the book, he is careful to tell us he has never physically hurt a woman. When he is dumped unceremoniously and left heartbroken and angry by his long-term girlfriend Pen, he decides on a suicide mission of emotional sexual attacks on any girl that he can get into bed. The protagonist is struck with the curse of being a handsome and magnetic flâneur, a drunken creative to whom women gravitate, and fall in love. The hype that follows this book is intense, and continues today even after ten years, and will be the primary reason any reader may pick this book up.Īn Irish ex-alcoholic creative confesses to his past emotional abuse of women, with the opener, “I liked hurting girls.” Somewhere between JT Leroy and Bret Easton Ellis, the anonymous author looks back with some regret – and some pride and sentiment – to the times that have shaped him to reach the place he greets us from, a near-future from the events told. It is impossible to know if this book is literally a confessional of someone who then published as fiction, because the author remains unknown.

![]() Sophos vs Bitdefender: Which Virusscanner Offers Better Privacy? Given that Bitdefender includes a firewall, along with a range of comprehensive security features, it offers superior protection compared to Sophos Home and is, therefore, a clear winner. A firewall also monitors outgoing network traffic to prevent suspicious applications from connecting to the internet. ![]() This is essential for ransomware protection. However, Sophos antivirus lacks a firewall, which filters all your network traffic to prevent infected files, viruses, and other threats from entering your computer or network. They also offer real-time malware protection and continuously scan your system to detect and remove any threats. It includes viruses, ransomware, spyware, adware, and more.īoth Sophos and Bitdefender provide robust malware protection and internet security, along with other tools like parental web filtering to keep children safe. Next, we looked at the actual security features offered by each antivirus program to protect devices against malware and other kinds of cybersecurity threats. “Malware” is a broad term describing any type of software that may cause harm to your computer, tablet, or smartphone. SE Labs has not reviewed Bitdefender, but for comparison sake, it gave Norton Antivirus an AA rating (which is lower than Sophos). Only three threats managed to get past it. Sophos got an AAA rating for malware protection which indicates it performed relatively well. So, we instead considered their SE Labs rating. On the other hand, Sophos Home antivirus has not been recently tested by either AV-Test or AV-Comparatives. This shows how effective it is against malicious software and other threats. To get an overall idea of the security offered by both Bitdefender and Sophos, we considered the ratings they received in independent comparative testing.īitdefender achieved a perfect score in AV-Tests in May and June 2022, plus a malware protection rate of 99.9% in AV-Comparatives testing for February to May 2022. Like Sophos, Bitdefender also offers a 30-day free trial.īitdefender vs Sophos: Which Antivirus is Safer? ![]() However, these are very limited in capabilities compared to the comprehensive protection of Bitdefender’s premium Total Security suite. Luckily for any mobile and Mac users, Bitdefender still has free versions. Support for this old free version ended in June 2022. Additionally, you can easily get a 30-day free trial of Sophos Home Premium without needing to provide your credit card details.Īs for Bitdefender, it used to offer a free version for Windows, which has now been discontinued. In our comparison of Bitdefender vs Sophos, we tested the paid premium versions of both software - but both offers free versions with limited capabilities.įor instance, Sophos offers a free standalone firewall tool. In the sections below, we go into detail on all the vital factors your antivirus should have, like security, privacy, ease of use, and more. FeatureĪs you can see in the table above, Sophos lacks a couple of key security features, namely a firewall, password manager, and an integrated VPN, which are all available in Bitdefender. Please note that Bitdefender Total Security is different from Bitdefender Internet Security, which is an antivirus product just for Windows and not for other devices. Its antivirus software suite - Bitdefender Total Security - offers web protection on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. It is based in Romania and offers various cybersecurity solutions for home and business use. On the other hand, Bitdefender was founded in 2001 and currently has over 500 million users worldwide. This provides malware protection on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. It primarily focuses on security solutions for large businesses and organizations but also offers Sophos Home antivirus software for personal use. Sophos is a British company founded in 1985. Our findings show that Bitdefender Total Security wins on several counts against Sophos Home antivirus and is therefore the better security solution for most users. We thoroughly tested both programs to see which one wins on essential factors like security, privacy, effects on system performance, and ease of use. But which is the better antivirus program? They both offer comprehensive security features across multiple devices, including web protection, scans for malicious software, ransomware protection, parental web filtering, and more. Sophos and Bitdefender are among the best options today. With the ever-increasing threat of malware and other security risks, it’s vital to invest in good antivirus software.

![]() In return, the tribe agreed to cede some 38 million acres, permit railroads to be built, and stop raiding. But in 1867 the Treaty of Medicine Lodge established a reservation for the Comanche. Anglo-American settlers demonized the tribe, in part because of the brutal treatment of white captives. Later married to Comanche leader Peta Nocona, she would be the mother of the last great chief, Quanah Parker.Ĭomanche-white relations were generally bloody, with some periods of relative peace. In 1836, the Comanche raid at Fort Parker killed several people and took five hostages, including Cynthia Ann Parker. The Anglo-Americans clashed with the Comanche almost at once. When Mexico acquired Texas in 1821, there was an attempt to bring in Anglo-American settlers to form a bulwark against Comanche raids. Punitive expeditions were failures, so the Spanish generally negotiated peace agreements with the tribe. In 1758 Comanche warriors destroyed Mission Santa Cruz de San Saba in Texas, sacking and burning the mission and killing eight inhabitants. The Spanish in New Mexico and Texas encountered the Comanche in the early eighteenth century. Epidemics of cholera and other diseases swept through the Comanche, complicating modern estimates. ![]() Some scholars say there might have been as many as 40,000 Comanches, while others insist the tribe was small, perhaps only 4,000. The Comanche became expert horsemen, which made them more formidable in the hunt and in war. They obtained horses in the late seventeenth century, perhaps in the 1680s. Evidence seems to suggest that they were originally hunters and gatherers in the Great Basin region. The people we know as Comanche were an offshoot of the Shoshoni nation. The last major band, the Quahadis (“Antelopes”) roamed the high plains of the Llano Estacado. The name “”yap” comes from an edible root. By contrast, the Yamparikas (“Yap Eaters’) were north of the Arkansas River. Sometimes the three were styled “Middle Comanches.” The Kotsotekas, or “Buffalo Eaters,” had a territory that included much of western Oklahoma. The Tamina (“Liver Eaters”) and Tenawa (“Those Who Stay Downstream”) were the names of the other two bands. The Nokoni, or “Those Who Turn Back,” were the largest of the trio. North of the Penatekas three bands shared the same range. Their territory brought them into conflict with the Anglo-American settlers, called Texicans, starting in the 1830s. Their range stretched from the Edwards Plateau to the headwaters of the rivers in central Texas. ![]() The Penatekas, or “Honey Eaters,” were the southernmost band. But the major bands that played significant roles in Comanche history are well known. ![]() There were at least thirteen bands at the height of the tribe’s power and influence in the early to mid-nineteenth century, and it is possible there were even more, but never recorded. There is some dispute over the origins of the name “Comanche.” Most scholars think it was derived from the Ute word Komanticia, roughly translated as “enemy,” or more literally “anyone who wants to fight me all the time.” In their own language they call themselves “Numinu,” or “the people.” The Comanche language is an offshoot of the Uto-Aztecan linguistic family, and closely allied to the Shoshoni tongue. The tribe boasts a modern Comanche Nation complex at Lawton, Oklahoma, a site that employs about 145 staffers. Roughly half of the Comanche nation, about 7,763 people, reside in Fort Sill or the surrounding areas of southwest Oklahoma. The Comanche are a Plains Indians tribe, numbering 14,732 enrolled members. They now face the twenty-first century with confidence. Though their numbers are disputed, historians agree that the Comanches had a profound impact on western history.

![]() I don’t have that issue with the generic one I bought less than a year ago though.Īs for the joysticks I use, they are both CH Products (APEM) joysticks. I have that issue with my original Xbox 360 controller that’s 10+ years old. In my experience Xbox controllers wear out the joysticks eventually and it’s likely that it’s just barely outside the dead zone when you let it go and that’s why it continues in that direction. I have 2x Hikvision PTZs, an Amcrest PT, and a generic Hikvision clone PTZ and I couldn’t go back to just using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. When a wireless one turns off and disconnects you have to go back into the joystick settings and select it again every time you turn it on.Īnd I agree, using a joystick is so much better. ![]() Lol.Īlso, for what it’s worth, an Xbox controller works pretty well with Blue Iris and are fairly inexpensive (around $20). And sorry if you already checked that and I misunderstood, I’m not very familiar with that joystick in particular beyond looking at it on Amazon. Not 100% sure about that though because all of my joysticks and controllers auto-center. Thrustmaster)” on the joystick setting page in Blue Iris and that might work to then use that as the zoom control. If the throttle is set to the Z axis then you’ll probably need to check the box that says “Zoom axis is not auto-centering (eg. When you check later see if the twisting is showing up as Z axis in control panel and not something else like X rotation or Y rotation. I see that Logitech joystick has a throttle control which might be it’s Z axis. Just looked in my control panel and both of my joysticks, and I tried my Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers too for good measure, use the Z axis that shows up in there for zoom in Blue Iris. That’s strange that the Logitech didn’t work. Sorry if this was all longwinded, I was starting to think I was one of the only few crazy people that actually used a joystick with Blue Iris so I’m glad to see there’s more than just me struggling with them out there and hope this helps a few people out. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get Blue Iris to accept commands from any software. And if I remember correctly joytokey was the other one I tried that didn’t work either. Maybe they will change that in the future and allow you to map directly with the joystick buttons or at least a CTRL+SHIFT+.Īs for xpadder, it doesn’t work. Unless your keyboard has an “11” key, but mine doesn’t. The biggest downside with that is you’re limited to 10 commands then even if your joystick has more. ![]() I have my buttons on my joystick set to switching between next/previous cameras, full screen, solo selected camera, etc. You can also use that method of keyboard shortcuts for other commands too by using the CTRL+SHIFT+ as the key binding. I couldn’t hold the button down to zoom all the way in/out, I would have to keep pressing it repeatedly. The downside with this method is that the zoom only worked for me in steps. ![]() Do the same for zoom in but change the command to CTRL+SHIFT+2. Select “Zoom out” for the function and press “Set to next command typed” and press CTRL+ SHIFT+1 on your keyboard (not the buttons on the joystick). Go to the keyboard shortcut tab of Blue Iris settings and make a new shortcut. Second option is to set the buttons to keyboard shortcuts. Might be a pain to set up but if you can get it working, probably your best bet. This seemed to work very inconsistent for me and anytime I wanted to disable it or change which button number it started with I had to uncheck that box, unplug the joystick, refresh the joysticks in Blue Iris, then plug the joystick back in and refresh and select it from the drop down. You should be able to use the buttons to control zoom one of two ways though.įirst is the option on the settings joystick page that says “Map zoom to consecutive buttons beginning with #”. I had to do some testing on mapping zoom to buttons since I have two joysticks that I use that have three axis (up/down, left/right, and twist) that Blue Iris natively sets the twist axis to zoom. ![]() When the responses are factual, and not personal opinions or assumptions, this type of feedback can become reliable pieces of evidence in piecing together the accident timeline and proving negligence. And if the witness is willing, you may also request that information on your own in the form of writing or recorded video and talk with others on the scene. Sample Questions to Ask Car Accident WitnessesĪfter being involved in an accident, the police should have been called and will gather witness statements to include in the accident report. It’s best to collect witness statements at the scene or as soon as possible after, to present a transparent and credible report. If involved in an accident and able to connect with witnesses at the scene, a person can request the witness to provide written statements, including what they remember about the crash events, or if the party is willing, a conversation could be recorded using a smartphone. The details a witness can share will create a narrative of what happened and provide the who, when, why, and what involved, and how the crash was caused to help establish and prove fault. The witnesses might be a driver or passenger in a vehicle involved, a pedestrian, neighbors, nearby business employees or patrons, or motorists who were not involved but stopped at the scene to help. ![]() ![]() Accident witness observations may include what a person saw, heard, or the scene before, during, and after the crash.
