Darlington Public School is a community school located in a thriving inner-city suburb of Sydney, with strong connections to Aboriginal people. The school serves as a model for innovative educational spaces, emphasizing the integration of First Nations culture and sustainability. Designed in collaboration with educational consultants, New Learning Environments, the school features adaptable learning hubs that foster collaboration and inclusivity. These spaces support active, quiet, and outdoor learning, creating a safe and inviting atmosphere that maximizes natural light and ventilation. The design incorporates perforated screens that reflect the local casuarina trees, further connecting the school to its natural surroundings.Save this picture!Central to the school's design is the concept of Connecting with the Country, developed through extensive consultation with First Nations Elders, artists, and the Aboriginal Art Group. This collaboration resulted in the inclusion of Indigenous plants, art, and storytelling throughout the campus.

  • Clarification Post on Comparing the RTX 5070 to the RTX 4090

    We’d like to share an important clarification regarding the comparison between the performance of the RTX 5070 and the RTX 4090. Initially, we thought this statement applied to all areas, including gaming and professional industries like design and rendering. However, it seems the comparison is specifically related to gaming.

    The Difference Between Gaming and Industry Use:
    In Gaming:
    With DLSS 4.0, the RTX 5070 can deliver performance very close to the RTX 4090 in supported games. This is because DLSS relies on AI to enhance display quality while reducing the load on processing power.

    In Industry and Design (such as Unreal Engine or 3D design software):
    Performance depends on the raw power of the GPU (number of cores, VRAM capacity, and heavy computation performance). Here, the RTX 4090 clearly outperforms due to its higher capabilities, making it suitable for large-scale professional projects.

    Conclusion:
    When comparing the RTX 5070 to the RTX 4090, we must understand that this efficiency comparison is limited to gaming and does not extend to professional design or industry tasks.

    We apologize for any confusion caused by our earlier interpretation, and we always strive to provide accurate information to benefit the gaming, tech, and professional communities.

    Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences on the difference in performance between gaming and professional use!

  • This New Text Scam Tries to Get You to Disable an iPhone Security Feature
    lifehacker.com
    Modern-day smartphones come with a whole host of proactive security features built right in. Scammers and hackers will often try to trick you into disabling or bypassing these safety measureswhich is exactly what a newly discovered text phishing con tries to get you to do.As reported by BleepingComputer, the SMS-based ruse can be recognized by the way it tries to get you to reply with a "Y" to enable a link embedded in the text. The message might also get you to copy and paste the link into Safari.Replying to the message or moving the link elsewhere gets around a key security measure in iOS: Links from senders who are not in your contacts list are disabled by default. The feature is so critical to iPhone security that you can't toggle it on or offit's a built-in part of the Messages app you can't change.Replying with a "Y" (or any other response) makes iOS think you know the sender, and once you restart the Messages app (as the scam text will tell you to do), the link will be tappableand take you to some kind of fraudulent, credential-stealing website.According to the fine folks at BleepingComputer, there has been a surge in these types of messages since the middle of last year. Texts purporting to come from courier companies and demands for road toll payments are a couple of the scam messages that have been spotted in that time.How to keep yourself safeOne member of the Lifehacker team has recently seen a message fitting this description, demanding payment for an outstanding toll bill. The familiar trick of pushing the message recipient to act quicklyin this case to avoid paying even moreis used.It's worth bearing in mind (and reminding family and friends) that even in the best-case scenarios, you should be very wary of following links that arrive over messaging apps and email. Ideally, you only want to respond to links you're expecting: To track a delivery you've ordered, for example, or to confirm your email address for a new account.Even messages that appear to come from trusted contacts can be fakedmaybe an account impersonating them has been created, or maybe hackers have managed to get access to their accounts, for example. If you get a link from someone you know, double-check with them that it's genuine before following it.Note that there are two parts to scams like this: The first is getting you to follow the link, and the second is getting you to enter sensitive information (like credit card details or an account password) on a fraudulent website. Even if you are tricked into following a dodgy link, as long as you're able to spot a spoofed webpage, you're okay: Look for weird formatting, a URL that doesn't make sense, and other inconsistencies.Today's operating systems and web browsers have plenty of built-in protection against phishing sites, soas alwaysmake sure all of your software is kept up-to-date to minimize the risk of getting caught out. And always avoid responding to any message from an unknown and unverified sender, whether it's with "Y" or with "STOP" to supposedly stop future messages. That just identifies you as a potential future target.

  • MoviePass made a film trailer app for the Oculus Quest and Apple Vision Pro
    www.engadget.com
    If you're a cinephile who misses the old Apple TV app for movie trailers, MoviePass CEO Stacy Spikes knows your pain. So he decided to build a trailer app of his own, one that could easily help viewers keep track of upcoming films. But the MoviePass Screening Room isn't heading to Apple TV devices and set-top boxes instead, Spikes quietly launched it in VR for the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro."I'm in VR all the time," Spikes told Engadget in an interview. "And when I saw how beautiful the imagery was in the Vision Pro, and I know Meta is going to catch up pretty quick on optics, I just said 'This is a great way to watch movie trailers.'"When he tried to actually watch trailers in VR, though, it involved searching through YouTube and hoping he actually landed on a high quality version of what he was looking for. So why not launch a trailer app of his own? One that could help everyone keep tabs on upcoming films, as well as eventually make it easier for MoviePass subscribers to book tickets. "We wanted to be top of mind," Spikes said, as people determined which films to watch.MoviePassIn its current form on the Vision Pro, the MoviePass Screening Room is fairly straightforward. Once you launch the app, you're presented with a list of trailers for recent and upcoming films like Sonic 3 and Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Select a title, and it begins playing almost instantly. Spikes says he acquires trailers from Nielsen, directly from studios and from the marketing agency PaperAirplane. The goal is to get the highest quality possible in many cases that's just 1080p, but some studios offer 4K options.After perusing several trailers, I noticed that the bitrate and encoding quality looked better than most YouTube offerings (it's particularly easy to see when you're blowing screens up to the size of cinemas in VR). Mostly, though, I just appreciated having a single place to go to find high quality trailers. Exploring YouTube on the Vision Pro is still a clunky browser-based affair, and it's also filled with tons of low-quality videos and fan edits.MoviePassWhen I asked if there's some sort of data collection play with this app, especially since Nielsen is a source, Spikes replied, "We do not intend to go down that path. We see it much more as expanding our own ecosystem. And, you know, when you get into the data world, you're really getting into the advertising world. And that's not the space that we're headed into."Watching trailers has always been a way for me to wind down after a long day. The best of them are more than just ads, they give us a brief glimpse of cinematic magic coming on the horizon. Spikes himself admits that he used to check the Apple TV trailer app "religiously," so it's not a huge surprise he essentially wants to replicate that experience. While the MoviePass Screening Room is only available on the Vision Pro and Meta Quest at the moment, Spikes says he intends to retool it for the Apple TV, Roku and other platforms eventually, as well as add trailers directly into the MoviePass app.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/moviepass-made-a-film-trailer-app-for-the-oculus-quest-and-apple-vision-pro-190822710.html?src=rss
