Nonetheless gross margin has not been particularly high. Throughout this period the company has been squeaking out a thin gross profit, notably keeping this number positive in the wake of recent difficulties within its operating market. While posting significant growth for most of the last 10 quarters, Shift saw its most recent quarterly revenue number decline to a level last seen in Q2 of 2021. Indeed, the firm has posted what appears to be an accelerating net loss, with the latest quarter being the largest loss yet seen.Īgainst this backdrop we can see that revenues have also been quite volatile. Financialsįirst off, we must note that Shift Technologies is a growth company that is not yet profitable. ![]() This article will review the company’s financials and present valuation in order to determine if this is the case. While the used auto market has indeed faced significant turmoil over the last year, this stock is certainly sold off and may present an opportunity. As of this article, its shares are trading at $1.53. Having been a penny stock, the firm had to reverse split its shares in order to maintain listing requirements on the NASDAQ (at least $1 share price to stay listed). ![]() Note the numbers in the chart reflect its recent 10-1 reverse stock split while it traded in the $10-$11 range during its public debut, this number shows up as $100 given the mathematics around the reverse split. Shift Technologies has depreciated significantly since entering the public markets, underperforming the S&P500 Index roughly 3-to-1. This keeps the balance sheet of the firm much lighter and as such can be considered more of an auto retailing ‘pure play’ without the financing component. Instead, Shift offers auto loans through its lender network. The company’s business model is similar to Carvana’s although different in one important aspect: it does not provide direct to consumer financing. Founded in 2013, the company has grown throughout the previous decade and first entered the public markets via SPAC merger in Q4 2020. ![]() Shift Technologies ( SFT) is an online car retailer akin to Carvana.

The proper amount of lip clearance is determined by the point angle. Both conditions can cause binding, wear, and eventual catastrophic failure of the tool. A greater lip angle will cause the bit to cut more aggressively under the same amount of point pressure as a bit with a smaller lip angle. ![]()

A 4K 32-inch monitor, by way of example, is around 140PPI. But stretched over such a large screen it only makes for 109 pixels per inch. At 7.4 million, it’s not far off the 8.3 million pixels of full 4K. No question, 5,120 by 1,440 is a whole lotta pixels. What’s consistent for all games is the relatively low pixel density. Much depends on how flexible a given game is with the location and configuration of persistent on-screen features like menus and status bars, along with the aforementioned FoV issues. Your mileage will vary with other game genres. The result is suboptimal: a very obviously stretched image. Most competitive online games, like say Fortnite, cap your field of view to prevent ultrawide panels from providing an unfair advantage. But the extreme aspect can also be problematic. Having pretty much all your peripheral vision filled makes a real difference. In a broader gaming context, the crazy 32:9 aspect has pros and cons. That’s a bit tiresome, albeit a common fault among monitors with low-end HDR support. So, you’ll need to toggle HDR mode as and when rather than leave it on all the time. What we can say confidently is that SDR content looks like trash in HDR mode. ![]() That said, it’s not obvious that the 498P9Z actually looks any better running games like Cyberpunk in HDR rather than SDR mode. ![]() A ray-traced graphics fest like Cyberpunk 2077 is truly spectacular on a panel of this scale with this much zing. But the combination of that 550 nit backlight power with the excellent contrast of a VA panel really sizzles. You can’t have both.Īnyway, fire the Philips Brilliance 498P9Z up and it’s immediately obvious how punchy it is. Philips does actually offer a very similar panel with USB Type-C ports if that’s important to you, the 499P9H. In other words, you don’t get USB Type-C. A four-port USB hub rounds out the connectivity. You need HDMI 2.1 to drive a display with this many pixels at high refresh rates. Connectivity: DisplayPort 1.4 x1, HDMI 2.0 x3Īs for connectivity, well, the single DisplayPort 1.4 socket is the only way to get that 165Hz refresh going. It's lovely – full of metallic surfaces and glowing blue neon buttons, while the speedometer-like testing dial adds a flash of scarlet to the proceedings. In my case, my Orange broadband was clocking up speeds of 8Mbit/s for downloads and 6Mbps for uploads – the advert promises speeds of up to 20Mbps.

Now for those of you who don't know that much about the internet, a ping test is how fast your pc connects the server, (think of the search engines, when you type something in and hit search they comeback with a something like 12,244 pages found in 0.0067 seconds.) so if your pc say WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM GOOGLE, it means it hasn't connected yet.

The letters represent compass directions - N is north, WNW is west by northwest, and so on.ĭisappears represents where in the night sky the International Space Station will leave your field of view.

It will also be moving considerably faster than a typical airplane (airplanes generally fly at about 600 miles per hour the space station flies at 17,500 miles per hour). ![]() The horizon is at zero degrees, and directly overhead is ninety degrees. The space station looks like an airplane or a very bright star moving across the sky, except it doesn't have flashing lights or change direction. It represents the height of the space station from the horizon in the night sky. Max Height is measured in degrees (also known as elevation). See the International Space Station As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up. This is the optimum viewing period as the sun reflects off the space station and contrasts against the darker sky. Visible is the maximum time period the space station is visible before crossing back below the horizon. All sightings will occur within a few hours before or after sunrise or sunset. ![]() All sightings will occur within a few hours before or after sunrise or sunset. Time is when the sighting opportunity will begin in your local time zone. What does all this sighting information mean? This layer begins to oxidize and peel, altering the disc over time, eventually making it unreadable. The company published a press release stating that the problem was caused by a batch of tainted resin used between June 2008 and June 2009 when adding the second layer to the Blu-ray discs. Why do Blu-ray discs become unreadable?Īt first, only a dozen or so Blu-ray discs were affected, mostly TF1 Vidéo, M6 Vidéo, Gaumont, Fox Pathé Europa and Wild Side editions pressed in the French QOL factory. Tainted resin causes the discs to deteriorate prematurely. Here is a detailed explanation of how this anomaly impacts Blu-ray discs, how many discs are concerned and how to do a backup of your Blu-ray movies to avoid losing them. The culprit: a manufacturer of the resin used in the second layer of Blu-ray discs who, for several years, sold tainted resin, causing the discs to deteriorate prematurely. Unfortunately, all of this care will have been for nothing as the problem is due to a technical error in one of the early stages of the production process. This has been a well-known problem for a number of years now some Blu-ray discs and DVDs become unreadable over time, even when you’ve always handled them carefully and stored them properly. ![]() The new Create feature will be available even to free users, though it still hasn't made its way to the mobile apps just yet.You’ve made popcorn in preparation for your movie night but just as you go to watch your favorite Blu-ray film, a problem arises: the player displays an error message that says “Unknown” or “Cannot read the disc”. After all, what makes an artist is not necessarily their technical skill or willingness to spend valuable hours digging for diamond in the rough, but their taste. But it seems like Splice has figured out a rather innocuous way to use AI to aid in the creative process, without actually stepping on the toes of the creator. The use of AI in the creation of works of art, whether that be images or music, is definitely a controversial topic at the moment. ![]() It's another thread to pull at in my effort to turn up something unique or ear catching. ![]() The new ability to start a Stack based on (almost) any loop in the Splice library adds an additional layer of abstraction to this process. And I'm usually looking for an undiscovered gem buried in the nether regions of the Splice library. Either, specifically to find drum loops (I am not a drummer, don't own a drum set and my drum programming skills need work), or to dig up something unexpected (percussive or melodic) as a jumping off point. In general this new approach feels a lot more useful than the original CoSo and Create AI features. Sure, that tasty Rhodes lick sounds great over mid tempo breakbeat, but how does it fair when placed against a 140bpm distorted kick drum and thick synth bass? This is great hearing what a sample might sound like in a less obvious context. Perhaps more interesting though, is the ability to change the style informing the AI's selections. You can also change the BPM if you want to hear what the loops would sound like slowed down. Here you can swap out samples you don't care for, add more layers or tweak the mix. Still, deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture have reduced prey availability and forced tigers to contact humans more frequently, increasing the likelihood of conflict. Tigers require large areas of intact forest habitat to survive. The primary causes of the decline and potential extinction of the Bengal, Indochinese, Sumatran, Siberian, and Malayan tigers are human activities, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Sadly, only around 3,500 tigers exist in the wild, and given the ongoing danger to their habitats, it’s possible that tigers could face extinction by 2023. The Bengal tiger, Indochinese tiger, Sumatran tiger, Siberian tiger, and Malayan tiger all feature on the endangered animal list, with the Malayan and Sumatran subspecies being classified as critically endangered. In this article, we will discuss some of the most likely candidates for extinction and what we can do to help prevent it from happening. Many species of animals are forecast to go extinct shortly, with estimated extinctions as soon as 2023. List of Extinct Animals in 2023Įxtinction has existed since the beginning of life, but scientists have seen an unprecedented rate of animal extinction in recent decades. However this is only the tip of the iceberg, increase your awareness even more and head over to read about the 19 Most Endangered Animals in Conneticut.Extinction has been around since the beginning of life, but in recent decades scientists have seen an unprecedented rate of animal extinction. Thank you for reading article about some of the most endangered animals in the year 2023. Monitoring and protecting these precious creatures should be on everybody’s New Year’s resolutions list! Take, for instance, acts such as building national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Efforts have been put in place to take their numbers back up. Lending a Hand to the Survival of These Animalsĭespite the drastic decline of the animals listed above, there’s still hope for their survival as we go into the new year with new energy. Because hunters poach these animals for their tusks and ivories, there’s an increased threat to their survival. At the moment, there are less than 40,000 of these creatures in the wild. Unfortunately, the Asian elephant subspecies may not be around for long. ![]() ![]() Their human-like behaviors and emotions are very likable and make it even easier to empathize with them. It’s so easy to fall in love with elephants. So, let’s have a look at some of the most endangered animals in 2023, shall we? 1. ![]() In an attempt to save these beautiful animals, we’ve listed species that need our attention – or they might not survive 2023. From habitat loss to excessive poaching, numerous factors (all caused by mankind) have caused animals to become increasingly endangered. Because these animals are not as popular as other species, it can be challenging to understand the threat to their existence. One of the biggest issues is that the world isn’t grasping how serious the situation is. So, read on as we discuss ten animals that might not survive 2023. Without a proper response to this crisis, because yes it is indeed a crisis, there are many animals that might not survive to see the next New Year’s Eve. Numerous animal species are currently in highly precarious positions, having been on the brink of extinction for a long time. Maybe this is the year that we finally give mother nature the love and care that she needs. Despite being an issue that’s been on the agenda for decades, it is not being attended to with the urgency it requires. This is an issue that becomes even more and more pressing with each year as earth’s biodiversity steadily declines. One area in which we all need to improve is how well we take care of our planet. As we come into a new year, we all get a fresh start and a chance to change and turn things around. |
