WWW.VG247.COMF1 25 hands-on preview, part three: Braking Point 3 brings more Drive To Survive-ish drama, this time out frontRacinema F1 25 hands-on preview, part three: Braking Point 3 brings more Drive To Survive-ish drama, this time out front Dom Toretto might not be an F1 driver, but this time it’s all about family. Image credit: EA Article by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on April 24, 2025 The F1 series’ Braking Point modes have always been an interesting thing to dip into, getting more refined as the TV-drama elements of the sport itself become more prominent. The mode may not be what you’re looking for if you’re in the mood to go all-in on the real-world simulation aspect of the game, or just stick to being out on track as much as possible, but there's a place - and an audience - for it. Drama’s always been part of the draw, don’t get me wrong, but it feels more central to how we all interact with our watching of cars going round in circles today. That’s for better or worse, depending on who you are, but if you’re looking for a bit of the dramz to spice up your Sundays, the third instalment of Braking Point in F1 25 sounds pretty promising. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. “When we introduced characters of Braking Point in '21, and then when we introduced Konnersport - the team - back in ‘23, it was kind of really important to us that it felt authentic,” creative director Gavin Cooper explained when introing this year’s mode. “It didn’t feel realistic that those characters could come in and start winning championships right from the outset.” Braking Point 3 changes that. Konnersport is now at the front following a winter with some fresh investment and a strong opening test, set to take on the existing real-world frontrunners of F1. Cooper alluded to a “key event that happens early in the story which throws the team into chaos”, and from the brief bit I played, it looks like the ongoing drama of the Butler family long-time players’ll be familiar with is set to still be a key cog this time around. Following the events of Braking Point 2, Aiden Jackson and Callie Mayer are the driver pairing, and you’ll be able to choose which of them to race as for key races and events in the story. Codemasters says it’s put a bigger focus on this offering more player agency this time around, with some “different on-track objectives and narrative elements” popping up depending on who you pick. You’ll also get an “alternative ending” to the story depending on which you’ve raced as more often, so we’ll have to see whether those feel distinct enough to be worth trying both. Jackson or Mayer - it's your call. | Image credit: EA/Codemasters I picked Mayer for the first two events I got time to play through, one of which was just testing in Bahrain and took the form of your standard ‘do a few laps to get comfortable with the car and nail a certain lap time’ affair. The first proper race at Imola was a bit more exciting, with you being plunged into the action mid-race after losing ground in a turn one collision with a certain Dutch Red Bull driver (points for accuracy to Codemasters there). Starting from about seventh, the goal was to get back the podium by the chequered flag and earn some additional points by getting back past Verstappen prior to a certain lap in the process. Since this was the first bit of the game I played, I wanted to get a feel for the car and so opted for about the most minimalistic level of driver aids I can generally cope with alongside a pretty steep difficulty. It’s fair to say that with the cars up ahead already well strung out given the late stage of the race, I really struggled to make any ground. Knocking things back down made it thoroughly doable though, so more than anything, this was a lesson in how much the higher-level AI is tuned to face either folks running on rails with plenty of aids, or the elite of the elite. Codemasters says it’s rebalanced the difficulty levels this year, with the addition of a fourth hardness rung to the existing three supposedly having the aim of making it easier for everyone to find their ideal setting. However, in this brief hands-on, the cut-off between too hand and too easy did still seem to be missing in-between that’d constitute the exact best match for my pace. That said, such a thing is nearly impossible for developers to help you nail down without endless tweaking, since everyone’s pace will vary from track to track and condition to condition. Where will Callie's story lead? I'm quite keen to find out. | Image credit: EA Going back to the off-track drama of Braking Point, that new investment I mentioned has come from the mode’s long-time rich guy Davidoff Butler, father of both Callie Mayer and Devon Butler, the latter of whom is now a sort of team advisor after being forced to retire from racing in BP2. Jackson’s in there too, as is team boss Casper Akkerman, but it looks like the relationships between Davidoff and his kids are going to be key to a lot of the drama. While I’m not all that invested in the tale Braking Point’s been weaving to this point, I’m at least interested to see how this year’s edition advances Mayer’s story as a fictional first female F2 champion; now stepping up for a full season in the big time. Real-world F1, lest we forget, hasn’t had a female driver actually be entered for a full race weekend since Giovanna Amati back in 1992 (though there has been testing and development work done for teams much more recently by the likes of Jamie Chadwick, Jessica Hawkins, and Tatiana Calderón). Shout-out, also, to the all-female F1 Academy series that’s been a part of the F1 support series package for a good couple of years, now. To bring the tale to life, Codemasters has invested in some Nvidia Audio2Face facial animation tech, which feeds into a more detailed and realistic setup for press conferences and interviews, allowing you to actually watch your driver deliver the answer you’ve picked. Plus, once you’ve run through the story, you’re now given the option to import your Konnersport team into the MyTeam 2.0 mode, so you can carry on beyond the single season of Braking Point, though obviously in that mode’s regular team management fashion. Though, whether you’ll be engrossed enough to want to do that once you reach the end of Braking Point 3, or whether you’ll have had your fill of the Drive To Survive-ish drama, remains to be seen.0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 24 Views

TECHCRUNCH.COMDropbox adds new features to Dash, its AI-powered search toolCompanies like Google and Microsoft have equipped their productivity suites with AI features and assistants, while startups such as ClickUp and ReadAI have focused heavily on building AI integrations and search capabilities. In alignment with this growing trend of infusing digital work suites with AI, Dropbox on Thursday upgraded its AI search tool, Dash, first introduced in 2023. The company is adding AI “understanding” of different types of content in Dash, which means users can search across audio, video, and images in addition to text. The company is also adding people search to let users search for a person who worked on a specific project or look for a subject-matter expert. . Last year, Dropbox unveiled Dash for Business to let enterprises use AI search. This year, it’s improving Dash’s enterprise tooling by adding support for IT admins to exclude some sensitive documents from the search results. Dropbox will allow users to search for different media formats via natural language queries. Image Credits: Dropbox Dropbox already has functions for summarizing documents using its AI. With this new release, the company is introducing new writing tools that leverage summaries from different data sources to create new documents and presentations. The company said these tools, which live in Dash, can collate information from email, meeting notes, and existing documents to create project plans, memos, or briefs. The core idea is that users won’t have to jump from one app to another to read some info and add it to a document. What’s more, Dropbox is adding new integrations to Dash, including integrations for communication tools like Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, along with project management and creative tools like Figma, Canva, and Jira. This will help users search for information across their projects on different platforms, according to Dropbox. As AI vendors release new AI models, companies working in the productivity and workforce sectors are realizing that it’s getting easier to have AI look through a lot of information, summarize it, and also generate new content based on that. The challenge for these companies is building features quickly enough while integrating with other platforms to keep their customers happy.0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 25 Views

BUILDINGSOFNEWENGLAND.COMSnider and Druker Apartments // 1913By the beginning of the 20th century, Brookline was developing rapidly as a desirable Boston suburb, with easy-access to downtown via streetcar and rail, all with less cramped land and less industrial development impacting the air quality. Developers soon realized that they could build high-quality apartment blocks within established neighborhoods to market to middle-income families who wanted to live in these desirable enclaves without breaking the bank. Developers Snider & Druker (a precursor to the Druker Company) purchased house lots in the neighborhood adjacent to Cottage Farm, a rich enclave of large homes on large lots, and began building apartment buildings. They hired architect Frederick A. Norcross, who specialized in multi-family housing designs, to furnish plans for these Renaissance Revival style apartments at the corner of Browne and Powell streets. Besides the use of buff brick, limestone trim and detailing, and the use of projecting bays to break up the facades, the building’s terracotta roof adds intrigue and individuality to a building form often maligned for blandness.0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 21 Views

BL.AG"We Are Not Superstitious, But We Believe in Signs"History "We Are Not Superstitious, But We Believe in Signs" The Gawthorp sign firm in Leeds were renowned in the trade at the turn of the twentieth century. Better Letters Apr 24, 2025 • 5 min read 1906 advertisement for the Gawthorp sign business in Leeds. Three years ago, I shared the picture above in a newsletter, but only recently picked up the loose threads from my research into the Gawthorp sign company. I share the following post in the hope that more might be uncovered about what appears to have been quite an influential firm during its 27 years of operation.I first stumbled across the Gawthorp business while researching T.L. Hamlyn for the 'Ye Olde Sign Shoppe' column in BLAG 02. This involved poring over the pages of the Journal of Decorative Art at the British Library, and the many detours this took me on. One of these involved a couple of mentions of the Gawthorp sign firm in Leeds, including their slogan 'We Believe in Signs' that I'm sure you'll agree is as relevant today as it was 120 years ago!Founder, Albert Hallas GawthorpThe Gawthorp firm was established in 1889 by Albert Hallas Gawthorp. Gawthorp was a man of many talents and interests, and it was his role as an amateur actor, rather than his business in signs, that dominated his obituaries in 1909. That, and his charitable endeavours, which continued in his name with the establishment of a memorial fund.Gawthorp was about 23 years old when he set up shop, which, in 1899, was based on Cookridge Street in the centre of Leeds, Yorkshire.Albert Hallas Gawthorp's entry in the 1899 street directory for Leeds, Yorkshire.St George's Sign WorksBy 1905, the firm had moved to a larger facility, which was located at at 30 Great George Street, and patriotically dubbed 'St George's Sign Works'. This was just a short walk from the firm's previous premises and, as evidence of Gawthorp's belief in signs, he used the building to advertise his own business. This included a large chimney with the company name painted in white letters descending vertically down its length.Two views of 'St George's Sign Works' from 1913 and 1914.

WWW.COMPUTERWEEKLY.COMChallenges persist as UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill moves forwardGajus - stock.adobe.com Opinion Challenges persist as UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill moves forward Elements of the proposed Cyber Security and Resilience Bill are welcome but questions remain about how best to act in the face of persistent challenges like geopolitical chaos, threats to critical infrastructure, and technological advances, writes CSBR chief exec James Morris By James Morris, the CSBR Published: 24 Apr 2025 Since the government announced in the King’s speech last year that they would bring forward a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, much has changed. The geopolitical context has become more chaotic with the new Trump administration testing long held norms of the rules-based international order, the economy continues to struggle and new advances in AI complicate our understanding of the evolving threat landscape. In such a fast-moving world what should drive the government’s thinking around this much awaited legislation? On 1 April 2025 the Department of Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) published a ‘policy statement’ on the proposed bill. The proposals centre on a significant evolution of the current regulatory regime to align the UK with the NIS2 framework adopted by the EU. The policy statement says that the bill ‘will address specific cyber security challenges faced by the UK while aligning, where appropriate, with the approach taken by the EU NIS 2 Directive.’ The policy statement acknowledges that the UK faces ‘specific cyber security challenges’ but doesn’t specify what these challenges are; but it is critical acknowledgement, nonetheless. The UK does face particular cyber security challenges. We face vulnerabilities in our NHS and across other areas of government as was outlined in a recent National Audit Office report. Our critical national infrastructure (CNI) is also likely to be exposed to more sophisticated threats as the landscape of global geopolitical rivalry – particularly with China and Russia – continues to evolve. The challenge for the bill is how it can provide a comprehensive cyber and national security framework across critical national infrastructure in the UK to address these ‘specific’ challenges. The policy statement does not make reference to our financial services industry which is a critical part of our economy. UK transposition of the original NIS regulations specifically excluded financial services. Will this still be the case for the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill? Financial services has some of the strongest sector specific security standards and there is a strong argument that these standards should be used as the model for other sectors. There are elements of the proposals which are to be welcomed. The focus on the resilience of supply chains, the bringing of managed service providers (MSPs) under the umbrella of regulation, the recognition that datacentres are now part of our CNI, and a new more transparent incident reporting regime are important and urgent requirements. The proposed approach is one of ‘sectoral regulation’ with existing industry regulators given more powers. The danger of such an approach is that the regulatory landscape could become fragmented with different approaches applied and no overarching strategy adopted across the piece. The government’s proposed solution is that the Secretary of State will produce a periodic ‘statement of strategic priorities’ which it hopes would bring consistency and coherence across sectors. The key question is how such a statement of priorities would be developed? It will require in-depth consultation both with the regulators but also with industry itself to make it meaningful and to ensure it is relevant and can be operationalised. Read more about the Cyber Security and Business Resilience Bill July 2024: In the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill introduced in the King's Speech, the UK's new government pledges to give regulators more teeth to ensure compliance with security best practice and to mandate incident reporting. October 2024: The UK government says that enforced cyber incident and ransomware reporting for critical sectors of the economy will help to build a better picture of the threat landscape and enable more proactive and preventative responses. March 2025: The government’s proposed Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is set to include regulatory provisions covering both datacentre operators and larger IT service providers. April 2025: The government’s recent policy statement around the Security and Resilience Bill will have implications on hundreds of managed service providers. The policy statement also envisages a new role for the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). It says, ‘the primary intent of this measure is to enhance the ICO’s capability to identify and mitigate cyber risks before they materialise, thus preventing attacks and strengthening the digital services sector against future threats.’ In order for the ICO to take on these new responsibilities it will need significant new resources, skills and capacity. In addition, it’s remit will need to be tightly defined to avoid duplication with the NCSC or to ensure has the necessary teeth with regards to the sectoral regulators. One of the more controversial proposals in the statement is the proposed approach with dealing with emerging trends in the threat landscape. The government’s proposed solution is to grant the Secretary State what are commonly known as ‘Henry the Eighth’ powers to change the regulations and to bring more industry sectors into the remit of the regulatory framework. It is unclear how any proposed changes would be scrutinised as they would not require an Act of Parliament for them to be enforced. This top-down approach is often adopted by governments when they are faced with fast moving sectors; but it is vital that these directive powers are given proper scrutiny. The challenge is to ensure that seeking better cyber security resilience regulation doesn’t become obsolete or outdated before it has even reached the statute book. It is also the case that the regulatory framework needs to balance the need for the better cyber security and resilience without snuffing out innovation in our business ecosystem. Business – large and small – must be brought into this process from the bottom up to encourage compliance and understanding. It also needs to be recognised that legislation and regulation will not, in isolation, solve all our problems. Alongside the legislation there needs to be an intensified effort to embed cyber security and resilience awareness, processes and practice into the heart of our society with a shared understanding of the threat and shared determination to resist it. James Morris is chief executive of the CSBR, a non-profit think tank exploring policy and solutions for security and resilience in the UK.
