  • Android 16s Rumored Split-Screen Upgrade May Prove That Threes a Crowd
    gizmodo.com
    I wondered why Android Intelligence was polling people on whether or not they use Androids split-screen. It looks like Google is testing whether tablets running a future version of Android 16 should allow more partitions to the screen than ever before. According to Mishaal Rahman, a noted code sleuth with a knack for catching on with whats next on Android, this years software update will enable large screens running Android to split into three! That means using three apps side, by side, by side. What more could you want? Rahman took a little screen recording of the current developer preview to show the interface quirk that suggests this is coming soon. When I opened two apps in split-screen mode and then attempted to drag and drop a third app, I noticed that there were previews for three positions I could drop the app in, he writes. This suggests that Google is indeed working on implementing support for three-way split-screen multitasking in Android 16. Rahman has been pretty on-the-money with his code sleuthing in the past, which makes all this the more believable. The latest operating system version, Android 15, added desktop windowing support in last years update, so its clear that Google has been considering an eventual multi-app future. This is the first time Android would have three-apps-in-one baked directly into the source code. Other manufacturers figured it out on their own. For instance, the Open Canvas UI by OnePlus is considered an inspiration behind this since Android fans have been loudly lauding how the OnePlus Open handles multitasking. Open Canvas lets you do the same thing: run three apps simultaneously. OnePlus partitions the screen three ways, with the two dominant apps taking up 45% and 45% of screen space and the tertiary app waiting for your tap to bring its 10% sliver to the forefront. The idea is that all three apps are ready when you need them, without the visual overload.Samsungs devices also perform this kind of split-screen magic on the OneUI software, though it is not as streamlined as a screen partitioned into three pieces. On the Galaxy Z Fold 6, you can split two apps vertically on one side of the 7.6-inch inside display and one on the other half of the screen, thus running three apps. But you cant run them parallel to one another across the screen, probably because of the inside displays 4:3 aspect ratio. Like OnePluss Open Canvas feature, the ability is only available to Samsung devices.Google has yet to confirm a triple-screen mode, but its likely that something like this could be added to Androids multitasking offerings. With foldable and tablet devices making up more of the platforms product lineup, the source code must keep up with how people want to use their devices.

Huy Hoang Lock Co.,Ltd. is a leading professional lock manufacturer in Vietnam. Huy Hoang Lock Factory is located in Quang Minh Industrial Zone which measures three square hectares and is about 20 km away from Hanoi. The complex factory included three buildings: two of them are used to manufacture with German technology and another one is used to manufacture with Italian technology which was connected with the front multi-purpose building.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The third factory was built with the expectation of becoming the symbol of innovation and stable development throughout 40 years of Huy Hoang. The expectation was put into practice by not only getting the Gold Leed Construction in the designing process but also getting the GOLD LEED operation in manufacturing. The structure of the building was designed by Core and Shell structure to create the open space inside the building.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Hanoi is quite typical for the Northern climate with the characteristics of a humid tropical monsoon climate, hot summer, heavy rain, and cold winter with little rain. Located in the tropics, Hanoi receives an abundant amount of solar radiation and high temperature all year round. To solve this problem, the facade system consists of concrete lam elements that are designed and arranged differently in density and opening angle. On the south and southeast verticals, the opening angle of the lam is extended up to 90 degrees to catch the sun and wind. Opening angles of more than 90 degrees and high densities are applied to the Northern facade system in order to reduce winter winds from the North. The sharp opening angle and the highest lam density are applied to the Western facade system to limit the amount of thermal radiation. The facade system helps the building create its own shadow to cool the building, protect it during rainy seasons, and provide natural ventilation.Save this picture!This is a factory complex designed as an open campus where public space is the top priority. The operating building is designed with open spaces, including exhibition, training spaces, and offices. The main hall is designed as a museum where visitors to the factory can explore artifacts, learn about the development history of the corporation, or simply get lost in the gallery to observe details as well as the process of creating the factory's products. The restaurant/canteen is used for guests, factory workers, and office staff and filters light through the facade system. Indeed, if the building is designed and built to serve the community and users well, it will stand the test of time.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Quang Minh Industrial Park, Quang Minh Town, Me Linh District, Ha Noi, VietnamLocation to be used only as a reference.

  • New Destiny 2 Arc Abilities Revealed For Episode: Heresy
    www.gamespot.com
    Bungie has revealed a bunch of new abilities and balance changes that will be released with Destiny 2's next episode, Heresy. The content update will include a brand-new verb, Bolt Charge, for the Arc subclass, as well as three new Aspects that can utilize the verb.According to the Abilities team's notes, Bolt Charge was designed to be a powerful damage tool--something that was previously missing from the subclass. Bolt Charge is a stacking buff, which builds up over time to release a bolt of Arc lightning when it reaches its max. Stacks can be built up from multiple sources, and the verb will be integrated with Arc and Prismatic subclass suites."The loop of gaining a Bolt Charge stack, building it up through combat, and then receiving a big payoff ties deeply into the fantasy of Arcs momentum-based gameplay," Bungie says of the new mechanic, saying it will open up plenty of new build-crafting options for the Arc subclass.Continue Reading at GameSpot
