samsung needs to make a goodlock module for turning on and off every individual animation or like, groups of animations in oneui. the shit they bundle now is nauseating and turning core system animations off breaks so many custom app animations and gesture animations in a way that usually means having more minimal but WAY sped up and more unpredictable animations. and the multi app view is just fundamentally not made for use without the glide in app switching animation, it covers the app split-second reinitializing and when you turn animations off they don't add any kind of alternative buffer. it feels like a gap in an elevator, its just like weird and uncomfortable

<<Chapter 20

Two weeks later

No.  Shuri's answer was final and irrevocable.  She would not be party to returning Winter back to his previous state.  He was aware of Ayo, standing at the ready behind the Princess, unable to decipher whether the anger he felt at that moment was a threat, but Shuri stood firm.

"You cannot ask me to destroy all that you have accomplished since you manifested," she said, firmly but with an element of understanding.  "Winter, you are a valuable member of society who has much to contribute in the future.  You don't even know if Sergeant Barnes will object to the sharing of your singular body."

"Of course he will," huffed the super soldier, backing off so that Ayo would also back off a little.  "Ever since he reclaimed his identity on the deck of the helicarrier he has continually worked to remove any influence of the Winter Soldier."  Shuri started to say something, but he put his hand up.  "I know you're going to say that he's aware that I'm not the Soldier anymore but what kind of life will either of us have, if the other is always there, always present?  He will want to live his life with his wife and family, and what will I do?  It's not like I can close myself off anymore.  I could retreat before because my understanding of love and relationships was limited and of no interest to me.  But now ...." 

He turned away, embarrassed at having to spell it out.

"Now you wish the same for yourself," said Ayo, in Wakandan.  "With your current knowledge and awareness, you cannot be an impassive observer any longer.  If Sergeant and Mrs. Barnes agreed, you would wish to be a participant in their relationship, feeling what they feel and engaging fully in their marriage.  Is that accurate?"

"Yes," he answered, truthfully.  "But she does not wish it and based on what I do recall of Barnes' feelings about his wife, he is too possessive to allow a third party into the marriage.  So, my options are limited to returning me to my previous state of disinterested occasional observer or remove me entirely."

A pain between her eyes made Shuri rub that spot in a failed attempt to soothe it.  When she arrived with Ayo the night before to be present at the testing of the probe in a low Kelvin temperature environment, she was looking forward to sharing the success of that with her colleagues.  Then Winter had approached her and asked for a private conversation about something important.  She hadn't expected this request. 

"What about a clone body?" she asked.  "Do you still have the cloning technology that Cerberus had?"

"No," he answered.  "Nova Corps took it back to their planet, with the intention of making it proprietary technology, for use only under the strictest of conditions and not for Terrans.  Thor inquired on my behalf, and they denied the request.  Tony Stark said he and Dr. Banner might be able to replicate an android body for me but felt I would lose my humanity in the transfer process.  The creation of Vision was an anomaly, unlikely to be replicated, as no Infinity Stone would be involved."

"Winter, I cannot do as you have asked," she said again, looking at him imploringly.  "You are a unique being and what you ask cannot be done before Barnes is reunited with his body.  He should at least have input into it.  My concern is that because you would be sharing the part of the brain where a person's individuality exists that anything I do to your essence will damage the physiology of the brain enough to affect Sergeant Barnes.  I'm unsure if the regenerative abilities of your body would be able to repair that damage.  He still has existing damage from his time with HYDRA and this could add to that.  Do you wish to risk being the cause of more damage?"

It had been something he hadn't really considered.  The last thing he wanted to do was cause further brain damage to Barnes.  It wouldn't be fair to the man.  With a heavy heart, he realized that he truly had no alternatives.  Shuri and Ayo both watched the dilemma play itself out on his face, recognizing the moment when he accepted that he really didn't have a choice. 

"Very well," he answered.  "I withdraw my request.  Please keep it confidential.  I don't want anyone to think that I had doubts about reuniting with Barnes."

"Perhaps I can create a process for you to voluntarily enter a state of deep meditation," said Shuri, quickly thinking of acceptable alternatives.  "It might be a way for you to withdraw from those moments that should remain private between Sergeant and Mrs. Barnes."

"That would be acceptable."

He took his leave and returned to his quarters, standing at his windows again and looking out over the landscape, which now had a skiff of snow on it.  How did Barnes do it?  How was he able to navigate this labyrinth of emotions, desires and doubts that seemed to dominate this life?  It was difficult for him, and he struggled as you are struggling now. The thought came unbidden to Winter, but he recognized the accuracy of it.  Barnes had struggled with finding a way to fit into society.  Without Steve to help him he had pulled away from Sam Wilson, convincing himself that the man's help was reluctantly offered.  He was wrong about that.  You yourself know that Sam's counsel has been valuable.  Everyone that you have confided in, Sam, Carol, Peter, even Noelle have been honest with you and have guided you well.

"Then why do I feel the way I do?  Why do I want more when I know I can't have it once Barnes returns?  Why do I feel guilty for that part of me that doesn't want Barnes to return?"

He voiced those thoughts out loud, waiting for that other voice in his head to answer.  When it did, it surprised him.

You feel that way because you've grown as an individual.  That's a good thing.  You feel guilty because you are a good person and Barnes is the reason you exist in the first place.  Without him, you wouldn't be.  Winter, be honest with yourself.  If it was possible to make it so, what would you do to satisfy all these concerns?

"I ... we would have our own bodies, Barnes and me.  He would be reunited with Noelle and Winnie, while I would be free to pursue my own wants and needs, without regrets or guilt.  We would be friends, and perhaps colleagues on the Avengers, for I have found a purpose with them."

If it were not possible to do that, would you accept the inevitable truth that you were not meant to be what you have become?  Would you stay in the background and allow Barnes to resume his life, the life that he built for himself, the life that was denied to him by HYDRA?  Would you give up your desires so that his desires are fulfilled?

It was so quiet in his room.  Winter could hear the sounds of his heart beating, the intake and outflow of his breath, even the slight clicks and whirs of the mechanisms in the vibranium arm.  It was the sound of the silence that was loudest as it waited for his answer.  He couldn't be removed from this body, not without risking damage to Barnes.  He couldn't be modified either, not by an external force.  It was all on him, on the man he had become.  He turned away from the window and looked at his room, at the small things that had begun appearing, some of Winnie's drawings tacked to the wall, a jar of autumn leaves preserved in their bright colours as a reminder of the beauty of the season, the binoculars he requisitioned for the birdwatching club, the cook book he borrowed from Noelle as he decided to make something, the books he had borrowed from the onsite library.  The one on top, A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens; so fitting a book for the situation he found himself in.  Not because of the historical aspects of the story but because of two of the male characters, Charles Darnay and Sidney Carton; two men who resembled each other but also loved the same woman.  There was much more to the story, but Winter couldn't help but identify with the Carton character, who loved Lucie but knew her heart was with Darnay.  Even though Carton didn't think of himself as a good man, he made the decision to trade places with Darnay, allowing him to have the life with Lucie that Carton wanted.  Carton went to the guillotine, while Darnay had Lucie.  The answer was there.  It always had been.

"Yes, I would give it all up for Barnes," said Winter, quietly to the room.  "It was his life before and it will be his life again.  Somehow, I will stand aside so he can live it without interference from me."

The other voice didn't answer but Winter knew it was the right answer.  If it was a test of his morals, then he must have passed because voicing the decision felt right.  There was no other choice, it was never his life to live.  It was Barnes and Noelle's. 

"Winter," said Friday's voice.  "The low temperature test for the probe is minutes away.  Do you wish to be present?"

"Yes," he answered.  "Thank you.  I'll be right there."

A few minutes later, he arrived at the lab, not surprised to see it almost full.  It was a momentous occasion; a communications device to be sent to another universe, so fundamentally different than this one.  Thor was at the front, along with the team members and he raised his hands to signal the procedure was imminent.

"Welcome everyone.  As you know, we were struggling with how to keep the heat generated by the power supply from putting the vibranium universe at risk.  The contact with the living vibranium in Wakanda gave us the information needed to expand the temperature range of the power unit, just as the contributions of our sorcerer friends in keeping a safety barrier around it has made it possible for this test.  We have chosen to go lower than the upper range of the vibranium universe for this test, allowing ourselves the time to open a portal and return the device to our universe if the safety barrier begins to fail.  This test will run for one hour.  Subsequent tests will run longer.  After eight straight hours have been verified, we will consider sending the unit to the vibranium universe and making contact with the single consciousness and hopefully Sergeant Barnes.  Everyone ready?" 

He looked around, then at members of the team.  The probe was already in the chamber and the vacuum was applied to remove the atmosphere.  A new atmosphere was pumped in, at the temperature and pressure of the vibranium universe.  Then the probe was activated, and it rose into view on the screen, opening up and beginning to function.  Everything on it seemed to be working as it should and after an hour of anxiously watching it the test was ended and there was a celebration of sorts.  Winter watched for a short time, then left, headed back to his quarters.  Once inside, he went to his bedroom and picked up the copy of A Tale of Two Cities, removing the sticky notes he wrote and inserted as he came across aspects he wished to consider further.  When he was done, he left the apartment and returned the book to the library.  He didn't take any others out, as there no longer seemed to be a point to it anymore. 

Vibranium universe

The Steve being sat where it could watch the Barnes entity, still in his unresponsive state.  How alone that entity was, isolated inside that single form, with no access to something greater than itself.  Still, he had created bonds with other entities, like Noelle, Wilson, and the others who were cooperating to find a way to return him to their universe.  The bonds were different than what the Steve being felt with The One, but they were important to Barnes.  Even as singular forms the humans sought out connections with other singular forms.  Since his portion of The One first coalesced to form its own singular shape, it had become obvious that there was something to admire about these beings.  They were persistent in their efforts to join with like-minded individuals to satisfy their need for connection.

Barnes being here started with bringing those entities associated with Cerberus to their universe to learn why they had broken through.  In the brief time those entities still existed The One had learned about HYDRA and about what they did to the Barnes entity.  It was why they brought only his essence instead of his form to this universe, not wanting his form to cease existence while they determined if that universe was a threat to them.  It wasn't realized that they couldn't restore him in the same manner until they discovered there had been two within his original form, two distinct essences.  When the Winter essence awoke, restoration of the Barnes' essence could not be achieved.  The One quickly created a singular form for Barnes then could only observe as he mourned the loss of his connection to his universe; especially to the one called Noelle and the smaller one, Winnie.  It had taken many explorations of Barnes essence to learn that a connection between him, Noelle, Winnie, and the other part of him, Winter, still existed; not limited by being part of another universe. 

There was so much they didn't know about these beings.  It was why The One agreed to creating a form, in a shadow appearance at first, then in the likeness of "Steve," Barnes childhood friend, another concept that had been foreign to them but was of so much importance to the beings in the other universe.  For such singular creatures, they were complex in their thoughts and actions, and perhaps being in the same form as them would help The One understand.  After the first onslaught of emotions, and thoughts, during the communication with the Winnie entity, there was understanding but there were also more questions, and concerns over how the original mistake had created a cascade of events in both universes that created even more concerns.  A portion of The One swirled around the Steve form and he raised the appendage known as a hand to it, watching as it dissolved into the grey for better, more precise communication.

"We sense disquiet within your form.  Do you wish to rejoin The One?"

It would be simple to reject this singular existence and rejoin the others but he ... wait, when did he start thinking of himself as an individual entity?  His thought rippled throughout the rest of the main body, and he waited for the inevitable discussion between the different portions of The One to commence.  There were parts that were outraged (a human word that easily fit the disdain they felt about individuality), parts that were more curious, like he had been, of how these beings functioned without a central thought and sense of purpose guiding them.  Other portions withdrew towards the edge of The One's existence, just wanting to go on as they always had, never changing.  Then, deep in the most aged part of their being, some of the Ancients, those who were present at the beginning and had been sentient for the longest time, made themselves known.

"Change is inevitable," they said.  "There are memories of before, when we existed only at a level so minute that many of us were created and unformed within moments as the chaos couldn't sustain us.  When the chaos reached a state of pressure that could no longer be maintained it detonated and the beginning of everything was.  Even then it took many millennia to become what we are now.  Soon, this portion of The One will be reabsorbed back into the non-sentient portion and wait to become part of The One again.  The prospect of becoming a unique entity is interesting and should be investigated and explored.  Perhaps the next facet of our existence is a more physical presence of individuals rather than the collective spiritual entity that we are."

The words of the Ancients created their own ripples throughout The One and the Steve being was aware of portions of the main body that were approaching his position.  They had questions. 

"How was it done?" 

"How was his appearance decided?" 

"If it was unpleasant, could they rejoin The One?" 

"What did it feel like to be in a singular form?" 

His answers were cryptic to some.  His first attempt at creating a form was in thinking of their own shadow form as more than ephemeral but it wasn't enough, so future attempts tried to make it look more human, using Barnes' memories as a template.  The appearance he chose was taken from a specific time when Barnes' friend Steve was affected by the death of his mother. 

"Define mother." 

The female of the human species whose body was the receptacle for new life and who provided care for the child as it grew into an independent state.  She was a nurturing influence and of emotional importance to the individual throughout their existence. 

"They are not created to be independent from the beginning of their existence?" 

No, they are not born sentient beings, but learn through experience, and development of the brain and body.  The Winnie entity was a child and although she was partially sentient now, she still had much to learn.  If they examined her memories, they would understand more.  The singular existence was unsettling at first, but he believed that one could rejoin The One if they wished and if the main body accepted them.  There was a sense of acceptance from The One; they would always allow the return of lost portions.  The longer he was in a singular form, the more it felt normal to him. 

"Is there more?"

Yes.  This latest sensation from Winter had made him ... what was the concept?  Concerned.  When they first took Barnes by mistake, thinking that he was the simplistic Winter entity, they hadn't expected the complexity of his thoughts and emotions.  It had been an onslaught on their existence; so much data, so much input that was foreign to them.  Keeping him in a quiet state had given them time to analyze and evaluate Barnes.  The Steve being had been curious about these aspects of the inhabitants of the warm universe and had taken initiative to cultivate the communication between The One and Barnes, then the others. 

"Explain again," said The One.  "What is your proposal?"

Winter had grown, without the presence of Barnes in his original body.  He felt that they were unable to share that form together and contemplated removing himself from the original form.  It would be a great loss as Winter was also experiencing what it meant to be a separate entity.  It was similar to how the Steve being originally felt being separated from The One.  At first, he experienced a sense of loss but the more time he spent in the form, the more he became accustomed to it.  There was such potential for Winter to contribute but if he removed himself from the original form, his essence could be lost forever.  He waited for The One to absorb this information. 

"Do you have a solution?"

Offer him a form in this universe.  There were newly sentient portions of The One that could be formed into a more permanent form than the current Barnes one, which was hastily created from the solid form of their universe.  The current form operated at the higher temperature of their tolerance, but it isolated Barnes from touch, which was an important part of his species' existence.  If they used newly sentient portions of The One, the form would be more attuned to life in this universe.  Based on the questions he had sensed from other portions of The One there may be interest in others changing to a solitary form, to experience that existence.

"Is the Barnes entity aware of this?"

The Steve being looked back at where the Barnes entity lay.  It was easier to keep him in a state of rest to avoid interfering with communication with the Winter entity.  His thoughts on the Winter entity were still somewhat hostile.  Even though the memory of Winter's emergence was shown to him, Barnes still had doubts.

"What is the state of the humans' efforts at communicating with this universe?"

Based on additional communication from both the Noelle and Winter entity, there was a breakthrough on their part that anticipated an attempt at contact very soon.  He expected that the next step, of actually entering this universe would be the next breakthrough.   Communication with the portion of The One that existed in their universe was successful, but it confirmed that portion had evolved too much to be reunited with the main body.  The disappointment was palpable but the oldest part of The One spoke again.

"Can communication be maintained with it?"

"Yes.  Part of the mechanism of their probe appears to be made from the solid form that was thrown into their universe.  Once they send it here and it has adjusted to our environment, we should be able to absorb that and establish a direct link."

"Much has been learned."  The Ancients seemed impressed.

"The humans associated with the Barnes, Noelle, and Winter entities are not like the ones of Cerberus or HYDRA.  They are more open, sharing their thoughts freely with each other.  Monitoring them has allowed me to come to these conclusions."

He awaited further questions from The One but instead detected some amusement from the Ancients.

"You are starting to think like them," it said.  "Do you wish to remain as an individual?"

The Steve being considered the question carefully.  "As long as I retain the ability to commune directly with the main body, yes.  I wish to remain in this form."

There was a murmur throughout The One then the Ancients spoke again.  "Let it be known among us all that this individual form is still part of The One, as he explores a new facet of our existence.  Others may join him, freely and without restraint.  They will always be able to communicate with the main body and will always be welcomed back if they so choose it.  The creation of a distinct new form for the Winter and Winnie entities will be undertaken, using newly sentient portions of The One.  The Winter form will be kept unresponsive until that time that it is needed to house his essence.  The Winnie entity will be paired with a mother being and will learn in the same manner as the humans do."

There was consensus and the Steve being prepared to withdraw its appendage from the grey, but a tendril reached out and maintained contact long enough to send him a thought, meant only for him.

"Existence isn't enough for the humans," said the oldest of the Ancients.  "There was an attempted incursion by one of their kind, a being able to access many universes.  He sought direct communion with us, the oldest portions, but we were too different to understand each other at the time.  On reflection, we realized the humans need purpose; activities to keep them occupied.  You have already determined they need emotional bonds with others of their kind.  Use Barnes directly, not just his memories that you access when he is unresponsive.  Allow him to help you create a version of his world, so that when the times comes where you offer Winter his own form, he will choose to stay and help us transition to a different form."

"Is The One dying?" asked the Steve being.

There was no response for some time, then came the reluctant answer.  "Possibly.  The initial incursion into our universe by Cerberus killed many of our own as the warmth from that universe had an immediate effect.  The gaseous form of our universe is not forming as quickly as it once did.  When the existence of The Ancients ends, it is possible we may not be replaced.  So, it would appear we have to evolve and perhaps a solid form is the next step in our development."

The tendril withdrew and although the Steve being was aware of The One all around him, he didn't feel its direct thoughts anymore.  That final exchange of thoughts was definite.  They had to evolve to continue their existence but that wasn't enough.  They needed purpose as well.

📣 clip studio paint is having a 60% off sale from now until june 23rd 11:59pm pst (deadline is actually june 24 1am pst but whatever)

that means perpetual v4.0 is $23.40 and ex is $180.60. updates from 3.0->4.0 is pro->pro 17.49 and ex->ex 50.39

question and answer segment ⬇

is clip studio paint good i do not like adobe so i use this instead of photoshop. i like it and i like drawing in it

whats the difference between pro and ex ex doesn't have the 24 frames animation limit that pro has and it also has a lot more comic page and comic printing features. if you dont do multi-page comics or animation just get pro

should i buy now? i think if you wait until november or december for their last sale of the year you can get 5.0 also. so if you dont really need it now you could just wait i guess

is upgrading to csp 4.0 worth it compared to the csp version im using right now??? look at the features comparison list here and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy. features that i cared for off the top of my head: 2.0 added liquify across multiple layers, align/distribute tools, and proper word wrap for text. 3.0 added better mesh transformation controls, made timelapse more efficient, and webp import/export support (lol). 4.0 added better snapping and you can now select multiple brushes at once in the menu to move or delete them (HUGE)

how do i upgrade to 4.0 from 2.0. or 1.0 youd have to upgrade twice, once up to 3.0 and then again to 4.0, so honestly id just buy a new license. you should buy a new license if you have 1.0 regardless so you can continue to have access to 1.0 imo cuz thats the only one that doesnt have the online checks

aw does it still have the online checks yes but its not every day. its like, either every 3 days or 14 days, something like that. they changed it from being every 24 hours after everyone got mad when 2.0 came out

im a time traveller from the future. the 4.1 feature update in october or whatever added something lifechanging incredible why cant i use it! perpetual license only gives you up to 4.0 features. which includes 4.0 and 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 etc etc. you dont get 4.1 or 4.2 stuff. you have to wait for 5.0 perpetual for those. if youre impatient you can pay 11 dollars for an update pass that lasts 1 year and is functionally the same as a 1 year subscription. the update pass is only available if u have perpetual license and never goes on sale so its always 11 dollars which is coincidentally about the same price as an on-sale 1 year sub.

i use ipad tablet or android phone perpetual license is only for desktops. mobile devices can only have subscription. 1 year sub is on sale for $10.79 though (its usually $27)

i avoided listening to radiohead based on the bad vibes I received from radiohead fans in middle+high school. my friend's partner and i were recently discussing our very opposite music tastes, and how her mother raised her on radiohead. my immigrant mother does not know radiohead even exists. this is an experiment in putting myself in to my friend catie's shoes. here's my review of ok computer:

airbag: 3/5 stars

feels like the way the ending of the breakfast club felt

"in an interstellar burst / i am back to save the universe"

pro car safety song, love it

wear your seatbelts and check your airbags

love the ending of the guitar strum tapering out

paranoid android: 3.8/5

ok rangee!! he has a beautiful voice

"ambition makes you look pretty ugly / kicking squealing, gucci little piggy" obsessed

feels like this song is multiple genres and somehow punk and funky

the guitar solo crescendo then slowing it back down then back into guitar solo again... his mind

subterranean homesick alien: 3.6/5

love how mysterious and discomfiting the guitar riffs are

encapsulates what i imagine the feeling of floating alone in space is like

a little underwhelming

exit music (for a film): 4.1/5

kind of boring intro

i like the harmonizing chorus in the background

2:49 beat drop hittttt the intro didn't have to be so long and quiet but the build up was almost worth it

3:20 oh... my god.. i am ascending

he sings "we hope that you choke" so angelically

i wish i could capture how the second half of the song made me feel into a bottle

let down: 3.2/5

i also feel crushed like a bug in the ground

him hitting the high note in "you know where you are" brought tears to my eyes

karma police: 3.3/5

this sounds like it was in skins (uk)

"her hitler hairdo is making me feel ill" crazy statement

i love the harmonizing "ahhs" in the background during the outtro

fitter happier: 4/5

very scary voice wow

terrifying background sounds

this is a masterpiece

"fitter, healthier and more productive / a pig / in a cage / on antibiotics" this is the american dream

electioneering: 4.5/5

very timely yikes

"when i go forwards you go backwards" so real! speak on it kurt!

from minute three on i felt like tearing apart my room and going on a rampage this is a call to riot

climbing up the walls: 4.2/5

very creepily romantic

if haunting adeline by h.d carlton was made into a movie this song would play in the trailer

im sensing a theme of long guitar intro and outros and honestly its growing on me

him screaming at the end was impeccable, 10/10, zero notes

no surprises: 5/5

i cant lie and say ive never heard this song, it has had a grip on me for years

heart is aching at the intro and eyes welled up uncontrollably

"a heart that's full up like a landfill / a job that slowly kills you / bruises that won't heal" stabbed me in the heart.

"you look so tired, unhappy / bring down the government / they don't, they don't speak for us" if i was a teenager when this song came out i think i would have had a very unhealthy obsession with mr cobain

had to lay on the floor for this one

a quiet life and a quiet death...no surprises. im weeping

SUCH A PRETTY HOUSE. AND SUCH A PRETTY GARDEN!

lucky: 2.4/5

who is sarah. this would have crushed me to hear as the obsessed teen i likely would have been

didn't wow me, not sure if it's because it followed a perfect song and therefore was held to a higher standard, or if it was just boring

the tourist 3/5

he is so right. i should slow down. sometimes i do get overcharged

i love love love when he belts. the control he had over his voice is so impressive

honestly, without no surprises i am not a huge fan of this album, but i definitely do understand and see the appeal. i will definitely be listening to more radiohead in the future ! overall 3.7

Playing it on my phone to catch up where I am on PC because my PC stopped working.

Endymion, by Dan Simmons - 4.2/5

This book surprised the hell out of me. The general consensus online and amongst people I know who have read Hyperion, is that Endymion and The Rise of Endymion are not as good. A majority of people don't even bother reading them. Those people are missing out, and I don't put that lightly. Luckily for me, I bought all 4 books in the Cantos without looking up any ratings or reviews, so my choice became; read all of them, or waste your money. I was hesitant to start this one, and it did honestly have a bit of a rough start, but I was head over heels for it by the mid way point.

Endymion is a masterclass in world building, if nothing else. It takes place 274 years after the fall of the Hegemony, and the destruction of the TechnoCore and it's network of farcaster portals which connected the web worlds with instantaneous travel. Simmons did an amazing job at evolving his universe over this enormous gap in time. Planets became isolated from each other, terraforming projects failed and mother nature returned these worlds back to their natural state, billions died of starvation and war, or simply by getting stuck on the wrong side of a portal after the fall. During this dark age, The Church harvested the cruciform parasites from the labyrinth of Hyperion and harnessed the power of immortality to colonize former web worlds and essentially create their own version of a religious hegemony. The irony here is that despite harvesting the cruciforms which were created by the TechnoCore, the Church admonishes artificial intelligence and has banned the manufacture or use of AI tech. This distrust of AI permeates culture so much that there are even points during the story where the main characters straight up decline vital help or knowledge from the Consul's old ship and comlog device, claiming it's useless and essentially telling it to shut up. A small but humorous detail. With the power of immortality in hand, the Church was also able to create a new kind of space craft which was unconstrained by the limits of the human body's ability to withstand extreme g-forces. These new space crafts could travel anywhere almost just as fast as they could have by using a farcaster portal, with the understanding that the occupants of the craft would die immediately, and be resurrected upon arrival to their destination. It's truly fascinating stuff, and it proves that Simmons' unique and borderline outlandish ideas didn't die with The Fall of Hyperion. He clearly had some juice left in the tank for this one.

The book has some great characters too, just maybe not who you would suspect. The main character, for example, is simply a vessel for us to watch the story unfold. Raul is a typical commoner-thrust-into-heroism type character with seemingly little in the way of personality or flaws, save for a smidge of overconfidence. This is not to say he is unlikeable, he is just a little too perfect and predictable to be interesting. Aenea was not that interesting either, apart from the fact that she is the hybrid child of a human and AI cybrid, who can contact the assumed-dead TechnoCore through her mind and activate old farcaster portals on the River Tethys.

Who are the good characters, you ask? A. Bettik and Father Captain Frederico de Soya. A. Bettik is an android servant who Raul recruited from under the care of Martin Silenus to aid in his quest to protect Aenea. He is cool, calm, collected, largely impassive, and sports an unintentionally humorous deadpan delivery. Despite his cold android personality, I was constantly surprised by his displays of courage and humanity. He was the rock that held the group together, and I honestly almost cried when he lost his arm and almost died near the end of the book. Father de Soya on the other hand is the Pax officer and Catholic priest who is tasked with capturing Aenea. Throughout the journey, he displays surprising complexity as he undergoes a hundred deaths and resurrections that slowly drives him mad. Despite being solely responsible for Aenea's capture, de Soya is not the bad guy. Yes, he is faithful and obedient to the Church, but he's also smart enough to know when the truth is being manipulated, and can make decisions based on his own judgement. He ends up being possibly the best written character in the entire series.

The main story arc of Endymion is essentially just an interplanetary manhunt. It's a much simpler and more linear tale than Hyperion, but I'd argue that it's also more fun. Being taken on a wild ride down the River Tethys, revisiting all of these planets and finding out how much they have changed since The Fall, all the while being relentlessly pursued by someone who is dying over and over and over again to fulfill his duty to the Church... it's all so fascinating and exciting. By the time I was 3/4 of the way through the book, I was finishing every single chapter with an audible string of "holy shit, oh my god, what the fuck". If you have read the two Hyperion books and were unsure of whether or not Endymion is worth your time, I promise you it is. If you love the world that Simmons created, then there is more than enough here to satisfy your thirst. Time for me to jump into the finale.

1. Tổng quan về BMW 760 – Biểu tượng của sự đẳng cấp

BMW 760 thuộc dòng sedan hạng sang Series 7, được mệnh danh là chiếc xe dành cho giới doanh nhân thành đạt. Xe được trang bị động cơ V12 mạnh mẽ, cùng với không gian nội thất cao cấp tích hợp loạt công nghệ hiện đại. Một trong những tiện ích đáng chú ý chính là hệ thống sạc thiết bị di động – một chi tiết nhỏ nhưng mang lại giá trị sử dụng lớn trong cuộc sống hiện đại.

2. Công nghệ sạc điện thoại trên BMW 760: Khác biệt trong từng chi tiết

Không chỉ dừng lại ở các cổng USB truyền thống, BMW 760 sở hữu hệ thống sạc tích hợp nhiều công nghệ tối tân, phục vụ đa dạng nhu cầu sử dụng của người lái và hành khách.

2.1. Sạc không dây chuẩn Qi

BMW 760 trang bị khay sạc không dây đặt tại bảng điều khiển trung tâm. Chỉ cần đặt điện thoại vào đúng vị trí, thiết bị sẽ tự động được nạp pin – không cần dây cáp phiền phức.

Ưu điểm nổi bật:

Loại bỏ hoàn toàn dây sạc, tăng tính thẩm mỹ và gọn gàng cho khoang lái.

Tương thích với các điện thoại hỗ trợ chuẩn sạc Qi như iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel,…

Có lớp chống trượt để cố định điện thoại khi xe di chuyển.

2.2. Cổng sạc USB Type-C tốc độ cao

BMW 760 trang bị các cổng USB Type-C ở cả ghế trước lẫn hàng ghế sau, cho phép nhiều thiết bị sạc cùng lúc mà không làm ảnh hưởng đến tốc độ truyền tải.

Điểm mạnh:

Sạc nhanh, ổn định.

Phù hợp với nhiều thiết bị công nghệ hiện đại: điện thoại Android, máy tính bảng, sạc dự phòng,…

2.3. Ổ cắm điện đa năng 12V/230V

Phiên bản cao cấp của BMW 760 còn sở hữu ổ cắm điện có thể kết nối laptop, máy ảnh, và các thiết bị điện tử yêu cầu công suất lớn.

Lợi ích thiết thực:

Hỗ trợ làm việc di động, lý tưởng cho doanh nhân thường xuyên di chuyển.

Sạc qua cổng USB Type-C: Cắm dây sạc tương ứng, điện thoại sẽ nhận diện và tự động sạc.

Sử dụng ổ cắm điện: Kiểm tra thông số kỹ thuật để đảm bảo tương thích với nguồn điện xe trước khi sử dụng.

BMW cũng trang bị hệ thống bảo vệ quá tải và quá nhiệt để đảm bảo an toàn tối đa cho thiết bị và hệ thống điện của xe.

4. Vì sao người dùng đánh giá cao tính năng sạc trên BMW 760?

4.1. Sự tiện lợi vượt trội

4.3. Đảm bảo an toàn thiết bị

Cảm biến thông minh sẽ tự động ngắt sạc khi pin đầy, bảo vệ thiết bị khỏi nguy cơ chai pin, quá nhiệt hoặc chập điện.

5. Lưu ý quan trọng khi sử dụng sạc điện thoại trên BMW 760

Dù sở hữu công nghệ hiện đại, bạn vẫn nên chú ý những điều sau để đảm bảo sử dụng an toàn và hiệu quả:

Kiểm tra điện thoại có hỗ trợ chuẩn Qi hay không trước khi sạc không dây.

Không để vật bằng kim loại như chìa khóa, tiền xu… lên khay sạc để tránh gây nhiễu.

Thường xuyên vệ sinh khay sạc để đảm bảo thiết bị nhận sạc ổn định.

Khi đi đường dài, tránh sạc quá nhiều thiết bị cùng lúc để không ảnh hưởng đến nguồn điện của xe.

6. Tương lai của công nghệ sạc điện thoại trên xe sang

Hệ thống sạc của BMW 760 là bước đệm cho những đột phá công nghệ sắp tới trong ngành ô tô hạng sang:

Sạc thông minh tích hợp AI: Tự động phân bổ dòng điện ưu tiên cho thiết bị cần thiết nhất.

Sạc đa thiết bị: Cho phép sạc đồng thời điện thoại, tai nghe, đồng hồ thông minh một cách liền mạch.

BMW nhiều khả năng sẽ là thương hiệu tiên phong ứng dụng các công nghệ này trên những thế hệ xe mới, tiếp nối thành công từ mẫu xe đầu bảng BMW 760.

Kết luận

Hệ thống sạc điện thoại trên BMW 760 không chỉ đơn thuần là một tiện ích – nó là biểu tượng của sự kết hợp hoàn hảo giữa thiết kế sang trọng và công nghệ hiện đại. Từ khả năng sạc không dây tiện lợi, các cổng kết nối đa dạng đến yếu tố an toàn vượt trội, tất cả đều góp phần nâng tầm trải nghiệm người dùng.

Screen Dreams: Why India's Students and Professionals See Different Futures in Their iPhones

"Screen Dreams: Why India's Students and Professionals See Different Futures in Their iPhones"

The Store Floor Tells All At Chennai's Phoenix Marketcity, the Apple store staff have perfected their dual approach:

For students: "This front camera makes your skin glow like a K-drama star!" For professionals: "The battery lasts through three back-to-back investor meetings!"

Same glass-and-metal rectangle. Two completely different dreams.

Section 1: The Student Saga (1,200 words)

1.1 Campus Currency

The unspoken canteen politics where your phone determines:

Who gets included in group project WhatsApp chats

Your dating market value ("No blue bubbles please")

Real confession: "I told my parents I needed it for coding practice…I mostly film TikTok dances" (Aarav, 20, BBA student)

1.2 The Pocket Money Paradox

Creative financing across India:

Delhi kids selling their gaming consoles

Mumbai students combining birthday+Diwali+gift money

Bangalore's "tech uncles" who get overseas models

The psychological magic of "Only ₹4,199/month" (until you do the 24-month math)

1.3 The Features That Actually Matter

Camera tests conducted in dim hostel lighting > lab conditions

The great color debate:

"Pink titanium matches my sneakers"

"Black looks more serious" (adds anime sticker next day)

Storage wars: When your phone holds more memes than textbooks

Section 2: The Professional Pact (1,200 words)

2.1 The Great Mindset Shift

When your phone stops being a toy and starts being:

Your most used "office"

Your emergency PowerPoint machine

Your only calculator after 7pm

The corporate caste system where Androids = "probably the new intern"

2.2 The Art of Self-Justification

Bedtime conversations with yourself: "If I divide the cost over 3 years…that's like ₹90/day…cheaper than my Starbucks habit!"

Little-known corporate hacks:

That GST credit you always forget to claim

The "bulk purchase" option nobody explains

2.3 Work Marriage Dealbreakers

Battery anxiety that rivals first-date nerves

The slow transformation into a MagSafe monster:

Car mount → Office stand → Bedside charger

That moment you realize you're paying ₹1,500/month just for iCloud storage

Section 3: Market Mechanics (800 words)

3.1 The Great Indian Price Illusion

Why "₹99,900" feels significantly cheaper than "₹1 lakh"

Exchange program sorcery where your phone mysteriously loses value

South India's unexplained Pro model obsession

3.2 Second-Life Chronicles

The family upgrade chain: Dad → Mom → Elder sibling → You (with 37% battery health remaining)

OLX listings where "mint condition" means "only two visible cracks"

That one relative still using iPhone 7 "because it still gets WhatsApp"

Section 4: Social Circuits (800 words)

4.1 The Dating Math

Matrimonial site code:

"Apple user" = "stable career"

"Android user" = "will probably switch later"

The green-bubble discrimination in college romances

4.2 Office Warfare

The charger-borrowing hierarchy

Client meeting device judgments

The WFH confession: "I haven't touched my laptop in 3 days"

Section 5: Tomorrow's Trends (300 words)

The generation who'll never know life without app stores

Coming disruptors:

Foldables that could make iPads obsolete

Indian brands finally cracking the premium code

The "Made for India" factor

Final Truth (200 words) Whether it's a student skipping meals to afford EMIs or a professional calling it "work investment," we're all chasing the same thing - that magical rectangle that somehow becomes exactly what we need it to be.

Overheard Across India: "Bro, it's basically free if you divide it over 2 years!" "Beta, in our days phones were for calling only" "This better last till my next appraisal"

Your Move: Which camp are you? ✓ Team "I'll eat canteen food for a year to get this" ✓ Team "It's a business necessity (mostly)" ✓ Team "My iPhone 6S still works fine, no?"

The iPhone 16: Why It's Worth Your Attention (Even If It's Not Flashy)

Let's be honest - we've reached a point where smartphone upgrades don't wow us like they used to. But after using the iPhone 16 as my daily driver, I've come to appreciate how Apple has quietly made one of their most polished phones yet. Here's what actually matters when you're using it day-to-day.

The Improvements You'll Actually Appreciate

Performance That Feels Effortless

Apps launch instantly without hesitation

Switching between multiple apps is completely smooth

Even intensive tasks like video editing feel fluid It's not about raw speed - it's about eliminating those tiny delays that frustrate you.

A Camera That Gets It Right

Finally takes great photos in dim lighting without looking artificial

Captures moving subjects without blur

Makes skin tones look natural in any light The difference isn't in specs - it's in getting more keepers from important moments.

Battery Life You Can Rely On

Consistently lasts through a full day of heavy use

Standby battery drain is significantly improved

Adaptive charging helps maintain battery health No more battery anxiety is the most underrated feature.

The Action Button Becomes Essential

Set it to quickly access your most-used features

Customize it for different situations (work vs home)

Adjust the haptic feedback to your preference After using it, you'll miss it on other devices.

Design That Just Works

The slightly curved edges make it more comfortable to hold

The matte finish resists fingerprints better

The weight is perfectly balanced in hand It's the small touches that make daily use more pleasant.

Who Should Consider Upgrading?

✔ Worth It For:

iPhone 11/12 users ready for meaningful improvements

Anyone frustrated with their current phone's battery life

People who want better photos without thinking about settings

✖ Can Wait If:

You have an iPhone 13/14/15 that works fine

You were hoping for groundbreaking new features

You're on a tight budget

Final Thoughts The iPhone 16 proves that meaningful progress doesn't require reinventing the wheel. By focusing on perfecting the fundamentals, Apple has created a phone that simply works beautifully in everyday use. It won't necessarily wow you at first glance, but over time, you'll appreciate how all the small improvements add up to a noticeably better experience.

In a world where we're constantly bombarded with flashy tech promises, there's something refreshing about a phone that focuses on getting the basics right. The iPhone 16 might not be the most exciting upgrade, but it's almost certainly one of the most practical.
