What Lydia Knows, a Deep Visual Novel and RPG Double-Game Pack, Arrives on Xbox
One Fateful Night, Cypress Ridge Experiences a Nearly Endless Nightmare.
On the other side of the coin, Outbreak RPG represents yet another way we’ve challenged ourselves to do something different with the Outbreak series. This is a rogue-like, turn-based adventure where survival is far from guaranteed. While most of our games explore survival horror gameplay from an action-oriented perspective, Outbreak RPG instead approaches this from a slower-paced, cerebral point-of-view.
The premise is simple; embark on a quest to evacuate survivors out of Cypress Ridge as the city has fallen to a zombie apocalypse. In this game, though, you need to manage a four-character party, complete with character-specific strengths and weaknesses, to take out deadly foes strategically. Do you attack with Lydia’s handgun for a higher chance of critically injuring monsters, or do you use Hank’s shotgun to hurt multiple ghouls with a single blast? Do you spend a turn to search for supplies or heal, or do you attempt to run away from an encounter entirely? Is it best to use a precious grenade when you’re out of ammo, or should you try to whittle down your opponent with a melee attack? These are the types of questions you’ll constantly need to answer correctly if you’re going to emerge from the city victorious.
In between random battles, you will stumble into events that may aid you in your fight or even deal damage to your party. The timing of your choices in and out of combat will also impact your initiative, which affects your luck. As you rescue each Survivor scattered throughout Cypress Ridge, you’ll receive perks ranging from increased health to powered-up weapons. Once you find all ten civilians, endure a final boss encounter and victory is yours! No play-through of Outbreak RPG is the same, however, and with four difficulty settings, you can re-enter the hellscape for a fresh challenge.

Basic Design-Code question with Visual Studio/C#
[Visual Studio version 17.8.3 — Community 2022]
I have used Visual Studio quite a bit to write VB programs. I am now attempting to use it to write C# programs. (I have a background in Java as well, so the coding isn’t an issue.) I am having trouble with the designer-code interplay.
I am getting a designer error when I don’t think I should. Is there a “proper” way to entirely delete an event-handler function if it is unwanted?
Scenario:
(1) In Designer, I add a label and a button to a form.
(2) I accidentally double-click on the label instead of the button when adding an event-handler
(3) I go to the code and delete the auto-added Click function code for the label. (Which shouldn’t have any code tied to it.)
(4) I go back to the designer and it has produced a “Design-Time” error. (The name ‘label1_Click’ does not exist in the current context )
I can use undo to put the function back and the error goes away. (Then I’m stuck with an empty function.) I can delete the label, then delete the code and all is okay. (But, if I have spent some time setting properties for the label, deleting it because I accidentally mis-clicked is painful.)
Audeze MM-100 review: Simply stunning
Audeze is known primarily for its high-end planar headphones, and although the brand has dabbled in gaming-focused headsets that retail for under $500, it doesn’t have any entry-level products. That’s changing with the introduction of the MM-100; like the MM-500, these headphones are made in collaboration with Manny Marroquin, and they’re designed to be used mainly as a reference headset.
The biggest difference is that the MM-100 costs just $399, making it the most affordable Audeze headset you can buy at the moment. By contrast, the MM-500 retails for $1,699, more than four times as much. Having used the MM-100 alongside the MM-500 for the better part of two weeks, it is clear that the latter has a more refined sound, but the MM-100 comes close, and that is no small feat.
While Audeze uses a few plastic bits in the chassis, the MM-100 has a similar design and the same great build quality as the MM-500, and there are absolutely no issues in this area. Essentially, the MM-100 takes the best features of the MM-500, and brings it to a much more affordable price point.
If you’ve been holding out for an affordable pair of Audeze headphones, your wait has come to an end. The MM-100 isn’t just one of the best Audeze headphones — it is easily among the best overall options you’ll find in the sub-$500 category.
Audeze MM-100: Pricing and availability
Audeze unveiled the MM-100 in April 2023, with the headphones going on sale in the month of August. It’s now available globally via audio retailers and Audeze distributors, and in North America, you can get your hands on the MM-100 for $399.
Considering the affordability of these headphones, there’s longer-than-usual wait times. That’s if you’re buying straight from Audeze; you can also get the MM-100 via Amazon, where it is selling for the same $399. While most Audeze products have a standard three-year warranty, the MM-100 comes with a one-year warranty.
Audeze MM-100: Design and comfort
Other than the headband, there isn’t much in the way of a difference between the MM-100 and MM-500. Audeze retained the same styling and design aesthetic, and you get a gunmetal grey color scheme that looks elegant. Audeze uses plastic in the construction of the ear cups, but the yoke and grilles are made out of a magnesium alloy, and the headband is fashioned out of steel.
The build quality is just as exquisite as costlier Audeze headsets like the LCD-X and MM-500, and the best part is that the MM-100 is considerably lighter than other Audeze products I used thus far. Coming in at 475g, it is 20g lighter than the MM-500, and that difference is noticeable. Don’t get me wrong; the MM-100 is still on the heavier side, but it is significantly lighter than most Audeze designs — the LCD-X weighs 612g.
As is the case with the rest of the brand’s products, the grille has Audeze’s distinctive stylized A logo on either side, with Audeze branding on the right and Manny Marroquin to the left. While the design is largely identical to the MM-500, Audeze switched out its standard mini-XLR connectors to 3.5mm, and that makes the MM-100 much more versatile. What’s interesting is that you need to connect just one side to the cable, giving you the flexibility of plugging in the headset either via the left or right connectors.
The bundled braided cable is of a decent quality, but it doesn’t have a sheath, and it ends in a 6.35mm plug — like most other Audeze headsets. I would have liked a 3.5mm plug considering the category the MM-100 is debuting in, because as it stands, the choice of plug limits its usability with portable sources.
Audeze went with a floating headband design with the MM-100, and it does a good job distributing the weight of the headset evenly. The only issue I have in this area is that the adjustability of the headband is limited; you can’t move the stalk up or down, and you’ll instead have to adjust the leather band between three notches. While this is an inelegant system, you won’t have to adjust the band too many times.
The MM-100 is the most comfortable Audeze headset I used to date, and that includes the lighter LCD-GX gaming headset. A big part of that has to do with the clamping force; it isn’t as high as the MM-500, and combined with the lighter design, the MM-100 is ideal for extended use.
The ear pads have a faux leather finish, and they’re extremely comfortable even after prolonged use. They don’t have a vented design, but because of the inherent open-back nature of the MM-100, you get good ventilation. Overall, Audeze nailed the design brief with the MM-100, and the headphones have sturdy build quality and are light enough that you can wear them for hours on end.
Audeze MM-100: Sound quality
With a sensitivity of 98dB/1mW and impedance of 18Ω, it’s effortlessly easy to drive the MM-100, but like all Audeze products, you can make the most out of the planar drivers by pairing it with a decent source. On that note, the MM-100 uses the same 90mm planar magnetic drivers as the MM-500, and it has Audeze’s Fluxor magnet array.
I used the MM-100 with the Fiio K19 DAC most of the time, switching over to the Q7 Bluetooth DAC to use with a phone. Any source that’s able to deliver over 250mW of power should be adequate to drive the MM-100 well.
As for the sound, Audeze retained a similar tonality as the MM-500. The MM-100 has a good bass extension, and while the low-end is neutral, you get a good rumble that’s enjoyable along with fast transients. The mids are where the MM-100 truly shines; it has a boost in the mid-range that gives added warmth and clarity to vocals, and it sounds fantastic.
The treble is clean and detailed, and while there is some sparkle, it doesn’t sound harsh, and there is no sibilance. There’s good dynamics and instrument separation — as you’d imagine on a headset aimed at studio use — and the mid-forward presentation means the MM-100 is a great choice as a reference headset.
Audeze MM-100: The competition
HiFiMan’s Sundara continues to be a stalwart in this segment, and at $299, it is also a great value. It has a similar bass presentation as the MM-100, and you get a slightly higher treble elevation. That said, the MM-100 has a clear advantage in the mids, and I like the design a little better.
Sennheiser’s HD660S2 is a good alternative as well if you need a reference headset. It is costlier than the MM-100 at $499, but you get a neutral sound that’s ideal for studio use as well as casual listening sessions.
Audeze MM-100: Should you buy it?
You should buy this if:
- You need an affordable pair of Audeze headphones
- You want headphones with an exquisite sound
- You need a sub-$500 reference headset
You shouldn’t buy this if:
- You need a lightweight headset
The MM-100 is one of Audeze’s most significant products to date. It has the same great design and build quality as the MM-500, and it sounds remarkably similar. Yes, Audeze made a few tweaks to the design to bring the cost of the headset down to $399, but the MM-100 doesn’t look or feel like a budget product.
Like the MM-500, the MM-100 nails the technical presentation, and it has a good bass extension that allows mainstream music to shine. The energetic mids may not be to everyone’s tastes, but it gives the headset a lot of character, and it has a good treble presence.
Ultimately, it’s the value that gives the MM-100 a distinct advantage. It is designed as a studio headset, but it’s just as comfortable for daily listening sessions, and the sound quality on offer makes it one of the best contenders in this category.
With an incredible sound and comfortable design, the MM-100 is Audeze’s most accessible product yet.
Companies Are So Desperate For Data Centers They’re Leasing Them Before They’re Even Built
Data center construction levels are at an all-time high. And more than ever, companies that need them have already called dibs. From a report: In the first quarter of 2024, what amounts to about half of the existing supply of data center megawattage in the US is under construction, according to real estate services firm CBRE. And 84% of that is already leased. Typically that rate had been about 50% the last few years — already notably higher than other real estate classes. “I’m astonished and impressed by the demand for facilities yet to be fully constructed,” CBRE Data Center Research Director Gordon Dolven told Sherwood.
That advanced interest means that despite the huge amount of construction, there’s still going to be a shortage of data centers to meet demand. In other words, data center vacancy rates are staying low and rents high. Nationwide the vacancy rates are near record lows of 3.7% and average asking rent for data centers was up 19% year over year, according to CBRE. It was up 42% in Northern Virginia, where many data centers are located. These sorts of price jumps are “unprecedented” compared with other types of real estate. For comparison, rents for industrial and logistics real estate, another hot asset class used in e-commerce, is expected to go up 8% this year.

Self-Service Business Intelligence: Drive Your Company’s Success
Editor’s note: In this article, Marina describes the components of a self-service business intelligence (BI) solution and shares how self-service BI allows non-IT users to create queries and reports on their own. Read on for tips on building your self-service BI project, and if you seek deeper assistance with developing or upgrading your self-service BI solution, consider ScienceSoft’s BI consulting services.
The trend of self-service analytics continues to gain its momentum as more and more companies leverage self-service BI tools to put actionable insights in the hands of business users, who have little or no background in BI, statistical analysis, and data mining.
As opposed to traditional BI, self-service BI allows business users to make timely strategic and operational decisions without reliance on third parties – IT specialists, data analysts, and data scientists. Still, I would not call self-service BI an alternative to a traditional BI solution but rather its amendment, so implementing one doesn’t necessarily require a complete reboot of previous investments.
‘What self-service BI requires then?’ you might be wondering. Below, you can find your answer while I describe the components that support effective self-service business intelligence.
The foundation of a self-service BI
To enable the environment in which non-IT professionals can obtain valuable insights from disparate data sources on demand, a self-service BI solution should provide:
Data integration from multiple sources
Your self-service BI solution should allow integrating with different data sources (ERP, CRM, accounting and marketing software, etc.). Additionally, a self-service BI platform has to be flexible enough to integrate big data sources (streaming data, IoT data, social media data, etc.) to further enrich your insights with big data analysis.
Self-service data preparation
To serve the diverse analytical needs of your business users (historical analysis, streaming analytics, predictive analytics, etc.), a self-service BI solution should enable the aggregation of data sets before feeding data of a suitable format into your business intelligence system for reporting and further analysis.
The self-service data preparation tools perform such tasks as:
- Accessing and cataloging data.
- Data parsing and profiling.
- Transforming and modeling data for analysis.
- Refining and enriching data, etc.
Among the most vivid examples of these tools, I can mention such Power BI technologies as Power Query and Power BI dataflows that, besides ingesting data from a variety of data sources, allow data cleansing, transforming, integrating, enriching, and schematizing to dive really deep into your business.
The interface suiting every business user
As a self-service BI solution has to satisfy the demands of business users with different levels of technical expertise, it should have an easy-to-use interface for data analysis, reporting and visualization, sharing and collaboration.
As an example of such, I can think of Power BI, a recognized leader among self-service software praised for its friendly interface. Have a look at how its compelling visualization and intuitive interface helped an international real estate developer analyze financial data from any perspective and, consequently, better understand their business. If you think you may need professional help with assessing how well Power BI can meet your self-service analytics needs or its implementation, you are welcome to consider our Power BI consulting offer.
To facilitate fast adoption of self-service BI, the solution has to offer a non-technical representation of corporate data, so that all end users can derive value from self-service analytics technologies using common business terms. Thus, they could have a consolidated view of data relevant to such terms as ‘customer’ or ‘product’ with no need to know the relational structure of the tables where the data is stored. If you need an example, check our BI demo to see how easy it is to spot trends and patterns and answer your business questions with such interactive data visualization.
Robust data governance
The agility of self-service BI, which is realized in accessing critical business data by a large number of business users, poses certain risks – data leakage and inconsistent or invalid outputs across business units. So, to be in control of business analytics quality, I recommend setting up a data governance framework as soon as you deploy self-service BI.
Surely, modern self-service software usually has built-in data governance features. Still, I advise you to develop and set up your own data management procedures in accordance with your industry specifics, BI objectives, a number of users, etc. If you need to dig deeper into the topic, say, learn how to define your data quality objectives or check data management best practices, explore this insightful guide to data quality management written by my colleague Irene Mikhailouskaya.
Achieve self-service BI success!
Although self-service BI has lots to offer, developing and maintaining such a solution requires substantial efforts. Besides choosing proper self-service software, you need to follow the agile approach in developing or upgrading your self-service BI solution and work hard on the solution’s adoption within your business community. If you feel in need of qualified assistance with any of these tasks, my colleagues at ScienceSoft and me are ready to help.
We offer BI consulting services to answer your business questions and make your analytics insightful, reliable and timely.
