Teams from the four regions will compete in Closed Qualifiers PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - FACEIT Counter Strike Minors will be held at Twickenham Stadium in London this July, the company revealed. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Teams from the four regions, the Americas (North and South), CIS, Europe and Asia will compete in Closed Qualifiers against eight invited teams in the hope of earning one of eight spots to compete at the Major later on in the year, as well as a shot at $50,000 (£37,000). PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The organisation felt bringing all the teams from around the world to one location would benefit both the players and the tournament. This comes on the back of the FACEIT Major which will take place in at the SEE Arena, in Wembley, between September 20-23. Michele Attisani, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of FACEIT said: "In the past, with all the Minors taking place at different places and different times, there was quite a bit of fragmentation and it was not the same level of quality or experience for everyone. "We wanted to bring everyone to London so they can have an unique opportunity to experience it. Some of them will make it to Wembley but also for the teams who might not make it, we still want them to be part of the world's most prestigious Esports event and be a part of it. "It'll give them an opportunity to meet other teams, to grow, improve and get some of the spotlight that they might not normally get." Michele also touched on why Twickenham was the chosen venue. Twickenham, home of the RFU, will play host to the tournament in July He added: "We chose Twickenham first of all, because it is a great venue from a professional stand point. The event will last for several weeks so it's a very long event, players will be on site for a long period of time.
"They need to be able to have access to 24/7 practice facilities, grat treatment and food as well as amenities and other services that Twickenham stadium and the Marriot can provide. "It is also so important because everything will be under one roof, so the convenience was a significant factor. This is a once in a life time opportunity for players to come to this event so we wanted to make it as unique as possible and Twickenham was definitely the best option to make it happen." The FACEIT Minors will begin in July with the Americas (North and South) competing from 7-11 July, CIS from 10-13 July, Asia from 16-20 July and Europe from 19-22 July. Source : skysports.com

PT KONTAK PERKASA - The following recipe was originally published on Nosh with Tash. You can follow Nosh with Tash host and private chef Natasha Feldman on Instagram. PT KONTAK PERKASA - If you're squeamish, you can purchase your chicken spatchcocked; if you're a freak like me, you'll want to do it yourself!!! First, you're going to want to make sure you have a good pair of kitchen shears. If you don't have these, then the task at hand isn't going to be very pretty. Place the chicken breast side down on a clean plastic cutting board, then using the shears you're going to want to cut out the backbone. Cut from the tail to the neck as close to the backbone as possible on one side, and then repeat on the other side. Once the spine is out, twirl it around like a lasso and then keep it for chicken stock. There is only one step left, and it's the yucky one . . . press down on each of the wings at the same time pretty firmly to crack the breastbone, allowing the bird to lie flat. You did it! Now, on to the recipe . . .

KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The story takes place in Universal Century 0089, in a period of continued tensions following the First Neo Zeon War. Earth Federation soldier Jorn has been assigned to the Salamis-class cruiser Delphoi, and it has been a year since he has seen the one he loves, Iris. The joy of their reunion is short-lived, as a message comes in from a Neo Zeon refugee asteroid base, and Earth faces a new crisis. Jorn pilots the black Gundam Gullinbursti into battle. KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The manga launched in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh in November 2016, and the second compiled volume shipped on February 26. ROHGUN draws the series. The manga is based on Junichi Kamino's Advance of Zeta: Toki ni Aragaishi Mono novel series that Kadokawa began publishing in its Dengeki Hobby Magazine in 2010, specifically the 2011 Mace of Judgement light novel. The novel series mostly takes place in U.C. 0085 and later. Yū Akiba launched a manga adaptation of the novels in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh in 2012, but the magazine later canceled the series in 2014 due to the author's health. Source : animenewsnetwork.com PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Beberapa bulan lalu, satu jenis PC baru diumumkan, salah satunya oleh Microsoft, yang disebut sebagai Always Connected PC. Jenis PC baru ini mengedepankan hal yang belum bisa dirasakan selama ini dari PC yang sudah kita kenal. Kurang lebih, Always Connected PC ini akan membawa pengalaman menggunakan smartphone ke ranah PC. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Di Always Connected PC, sesuai dengan sebutannya, koneksi ke Internet akan terus berjalan, sekalipun layar perangkat dimatikan, mirip dengan apa yang terjadi saat layar smartphone dimatikan. Jadi, semua email, chat instant messaging, dan data-data lain akan selalu ter-update. Salah satu contohnya, saat melakukan upload file, pengguna tidak harus membiarkan layar laptop terus menyala, upload tetap berjalan sekalipun saat layar laptop dimatikan. Inilah yang menjadi dasar dari Always Connected PC. Bahkan, Always Connected PC pun dilengkapi dengan slot SIM Card untuk Internet 4G, sehingga ketika tidak ada WiFi, perangkat juga masih bisa terhubung ke Internet dengan kemampuannya sendiri. Benar-benar menawarkan pengalaman serupa smartphone. Mengapa Ada Always Connected PC? PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Sebelum melanjutkan membahas secara lengkap Always Connected PC, ada baiknya kita membahas lebih dulu terkait mengapa jenis PC ini muncul. Berdasarkan survei, pengguna laptop di beberapa negara, terutama AS dan China, menginginkan laptop yang terus terhubung ke Internet dan memiliki waktu pakai panjang, yang tentu saja mendukung mobilitas tinggi penggunanya. Hal tersebut mendorong beberapa pihak, termasuk Microsoft dan Qualcomm, mendesain suatu jenis PC baru yang bisa mengakomodasi kebutuhan tersebut. Hasilnya, lahir jajaran PC dengan desain seperti laptop atau 2-in-1 yang menawarkan kemampuan untuk memenuhi dia keinginan di atas, yang disebut sebagai Always On, Always Connected PC. Apa Bedanya dengan Laptop yang Punya SIM Card 4G?Ya, memang, ada juga laptop “biasa” yang hadir dengan slot SIM Card dan bisa terkoneksi ke Internet melalui 4G. Laptop seperti ini memang bisa terhubung ke Internet dengan kemampuannya sendiri, tetapi tetap saja tidak bisa dikatakan “always connected”. Hal tersebut dikarenakan ketika layar laptop dimatikan, perangkat akan masuk ke mode Sleep dan di mode ini laptop “biasa” akan benar-benar berhenti bekerja, dalam artian tidak ada aktivitas sama sekali, demikian juga dengan koneksi ke Internet, akan dimatikan. Inilah yang membedakan Always Connected PC dengan laptop “biasa”. Keuntungan lain dari Always Connected PC adalah efisiensi dayanya yang amat tinggi. Mengapa demikian? Ikuti terus bahasan ini. Contoh Perangkat Always Connected PCSecara umum, seperti yang sempat kami sebutkan di atas, Always Connected PC ini hadir dengan desain yang sama seperti laptop atau tablet 2-in-1 yang ada saat ini. Terdapat 3 perangkat Always Connected PC yang sudah dirilis saat ini, dari 3 perusahaan yang menjadi rekanan Microsoft dan Qualcomm, yaitu ASUS, HP, dan Lenovo. ASUS menawarkan 2-in-1 NovaGo, sementara HP menawarkan Envy X2 2-in-1, sedangkan Lenovo punya Miix 630. Teknologi Pendukung Always Connected PCWindows 10 Sesungguhnya, Bukan Windows 10 Mobile Karena statusnya sebagai sebuah PC, Always Connected PC tentu saja harus dibekali dengan sistem operasi yang memang sangat umum digunakan di sebuah PC, dalam hal ini Windows 10. Bukan! Windows 10 di sini bukanlah Windows 10 Mobile, sistem operasi untuk smartphone dari Microsoft. Ketiga perangkat di atas semuanya hadir dengan Windows 10 S, yang bisa di-upgrade ke Windows 10 Pro. Hal ini berarti Windows 10 yang digunakan merupakan versi Windows 10 sesungguhnya, yang sama dengan yang bisa kita jumpai di PC sehari-hari kita, dan tentu saja bisa menjalankan aplikasi-aplikasi yang biasa kita gunakan. Namun, di Always Connected PC, Windows 10 itu sudah dilengkapi Microsoft dengan kemampuan baru, membuatnya selalu terhubung ke Internet sekalipun saat perangkat berada dalam kondisi sleep. Gunakan SoC/Prosesor Smartphone Always Connected PC harus terus siaga, aktivitas harus berjalan, sekalipun perangkat dalam keadaan sleep, seperti saat layar dimatikan. Oleh karena itu, perangkat harus didukung prosesor yang hemat daya, agar bisa menawarkan daya tahan baterai yang panjang. Itulah mengapa SoC untuk smartphone digunakan sebagai dapur pacunya. Selain faktor hemat daya itu, SoC smartphone juga bisa bekerja dengan suhu operasi rendah, sehingga memungkinkan didinginkan hanya dengan pendingin pasif, sehingga bisa mendukung hadirnya bodi perangkat yang tipis. Sebagai langkah awal mereka di dunia Always Connected PC, Qualcomm mengedepankan SoC Snapdragon 835, yang hingga saat artikel ini dibuat menjadi satu-satunya SoC dari Qualcomm yang telah digunakan oleh Always Connected PC. SoC ini sudah hadir dengan CPU octa-core, sehingga sesuai dengan kebutuhan multi-tasking yang tersedia di sistem operasi Windows 10. Terlebih lagi, performa dari Snapdragon 835 yang terbilang tinggi pun memungkinkan Always Connected PC menjalankan berbagai aplikasi, baik untuk produktivitas ataupun menikmati konten, yang umum dilakukan di laptop dengan ukuran tipis dan ringan. GPU Adreno 540 pun sudah cukup mumpuni untuk kebutuhan tersebut.

A single spec of dust in the right place can completely kill one of your keys, and there’s no way to fix it other than replacing the top section of the computer. Apple rolled out a new version of the keyboard with its latest MacBook Pro that includes a protective membrane around the switches. Does it actually work? After some messy testing, iFixit says the membrane is actually pretty effective. PT KONTAK PERKASA - Apple has been on a multi-year quest to make its laptops as slim as possible, and keyboards take up a lot of space. That’s why Apple replaced the conventional scissor switches with the custom butterfly mechanism. It’s thinner, but it may actually be too thin. Not long after the redesigned keyboard launched in 2016, owners noticed that dust and debris that snuck under the keys could easily jam the mechanism. PT KONTAK PERKASA - Butterfly keys are so susceptible to dust infiltration because they have low travel — the key doesn’t move much when pressed. Since this is a laptop keyboard, the key has to get all the way to the bottom to press the contact. With a bit of dust in the way, it can’t get down that far. Apple didn’t acknowledge the issue at first, but it eventually had to admit fault and extended the warranty on affected MacBooks. It also set to work developing a countermeasure which has just rolled out in the 2018 MacBook Pro. According to a leaked service manual we saw last week, the silicone membrane surrounding the new butterfly switches is there to prevent dust from interfering with the mechanism. Now, iFixit has given us a good look at this membrane and even tested it under extremely crumbly conditions by scattering two different materials on the keyboard. They started with a powdery paint additive that makes it easier to see how particulates spread through the keys (see above). With normal use, the fine particles mostly stay outside the membrane. Although, heavier typing can eventually bounce them into the mechanism. iFixit also confirmed that a larger particulate (sand) can still make its way into the butterfly mechanism with enough time and typing.
So, it would probably be safe to say the revamped keyboard is better at keeping dust out, but it’s not perfect. As long as Apple’s keyboards have such low-travel switches, a few specks of dust could still spell doom. This isn’t something you can fix yourself, either. iFixit gave the new MacBook Pro a 1 out of 10 for repairability. Source : extremetech.com PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Today Intel is announcing the Xeon E family of processors. The Xeon E-2100 stack of CPUs will replace the previous generation E3 v6 processors, following Intel's renaming of their whole Xeon stack, and in line with the workstation-focused Xeon W-2100 family, and the Xeon D-2100 family. The new processors mirror the current Coffee Lake Core processors on the market and will support up to 64GB of ECC memory, but require motherboards with a specalized workstation C246 chipset. The E in this case stands for 'Entry', and these processors aim to be the cornerstone of Intel's portfolio of entry-level workstation parts. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The new family of processors will have four core and six core parts, mostly with hyperthreading, and mostly with integrated graphics, much like the Coffee Lake Core 8000-series CPUs. In order to differentiate the models with integrated graphics, these parts will have a 'G' after the name. All the processors are built on Intel's 14++ process technology, offering base clocks up to 3.8 GHz and single core turbo up to 4.7 GHz. At this time Intel is not disclosing all-core turbo frequencies or AVX2 frequencies. TDP will mostly be 71-80W, except for the high-end six-core processor which will be at 95W. All processors will support up to dual channel DDR4-2666 Non-ECC and ECC UDIMM modules. Intel also confirmed that the interface between the CPU and heatspreader is a polymer-based thermal interface material (TIM), not soldered. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Despite the same pin configuration as the consumer parts (LGA1151), they will require Xeon E-enabled motherboards with the C246 chipset, and will not work in 300-series motherboards. They will also not work in C236-based motherboards, even though they have the same socket, due to Intel's product segmentation policies. Intel confirmed that the new C246 chipset will have an integrated wireless controller inside, and will require a CRF module on board in order to enable it (much like the second generation of 300-series chipsets). The C246 motherboards are set to support Xeon E, Pentium, Celeron, and Core i3 processors only, and not Core i5/i7. At the present time, Intel did not comment on any future parts that may or may not have 8 cores. Out of the processors that are in the stack, three are without hyperthreading and three are without integrated graphics. Intel did disclose the per-core turbos for each processor after the launch, showing that most of the processors will be 4.1-4.3 GHz at all core turbo, meaning that the load power values will be pushing well into their PL2 numbers. Intel stated that for all the parts with integrated graphics, the base frequencies were 350 MHz, however the turbo peak frequencies were 1200 MHz for the 218x and 217x models, 1150 MHz for the 212x to 216x models, and 1100 MHz for the E-2104G. The E-2104G is what is known as an off-roadmap model, built only for specific customers, and in our briefing Intel iterated its desire to only speak about the ten 'on-roadmap' models as part of this release. However other companies have noted that this part exists. All the processors have 16 PCIe lanes from the CPU, and 24 lanes from the chipset (which has an upstream limit of four lanes), and much to our chagrin and to obfuscate the issue, Intel will advertise these processors as having '40' PCIe lanes. We do not see the reason why Intel needs to obfuscate this, as they have never needed to in previous generations, and it makes zero sense unless all the PCIe lanes were equal. We have beat on this door several times previously with Intel, but we never seem to discuss it with (or influence) the person who actually makes that decision.
The top end part, the Xeon E-2186G, will peak at a 3.8 GHz base frequency, and have a single core turbo of 4.7 GHz. Comparing to the consumer line, this is +100 MHz on the base frequency over the Core i7-8700K, although the Xeon has ECC, is not overclockable, and will have a tray price of $450. It is worth noting that in previous generations Intel's top end Xeon E3-1200 chip was often around $650, and more than $200+ the second best processor, and that isn't happening here. This seemed very 'un-Intel' when we saw it for the first time. Intel's official response was that they offer 'price points that will be compelling to OEMs and we expect more opportunities from a solutions perspective''. This response doesn't really address the issue of why there isn't a top $600+ SKU anymore, leaving a card on the table which states that we should probably expect higher-end models to come out at a later date. Roadmaps have already leaked that Intel is preparing an 8-core consumer product later this year, so I can imagine that an equivalent Xeon E processor will also be made available. As we've mentioned before, Intel's new naming scheme for the Xeon platforms has been a relatively haphazard transition, with the description of the direct translation of how parts compare to the previous generation being minimal at best. Xeon E is arguably the easiest transition to make: what used to be the E3-1275 v6 in the stack is now the Xeon E-2176G, with the 6 representing the number of cores. Intel now also has three '2100' lines of processors: Xeon D-2100, Xeon W-2100, and Xeon E-2100. They're all aimed at different markets, and the numbering of each model has no correlation to the same number in a different segment. So your guess as to why this matters is as good as ours. One interesting thing came to the forefront of our pre-briefing however. In our slide deck, when discussing which 14nm process was being used, both 14++ and 14+++ were mentioned. If you like more 14-plus variants, Intel does too. I'm sure that this was an error on the part of the speaker, as we know that Coffee Lake is 14++. We've been discussing on and off with Intel about sampling the Xeon E-series processors for review for over six months, when the first leaks started to come out. We were told yesterday, finally, that the business unit is not planning to seed the press review units. A similar situation happened with the E3-1200 v6 processors. So immediate press reviews will not be forthcoming. Finally, systems with Xeon E will be being announced from today from the major OEMs. Source : anandtech.com |
