![]() This time, there’s no deus ex machina: Andy is a normal boy on his way to college, not a weird trash lover like Rob, and like every normal college-bound boy, he no longer plays with toys. It’s as if the evil electromagnet were pulling us (or, more accurately, Lasseter) back toward that creepy junkyard, where Toaster and his pals witnessed the truth about what eventually happens to anthropomorphic junk.Īnd in Toy Story 3 (2010), with Lasseter co-writing, we finally get there. The series is careening closer and closer to The Brave Little Toaster. But in the end of this relatively weak installment, Woody and friends simply decide to return to Andy and triumphantly do so. Stinky Pete: Idiots! Children destroy toys! You’ll all be ruined! Forgotten! Rotting for eternity in some landfill!Īnd a new character, Jessie, exemplifies this trajectory in the movie’s most emotional sequence. One of the antagonists, Stinky Pete, repeatedly raises the uncomfortable truth that, one day, all toys are thrown away: Lasseter returns to write and direct Toy Story 2 (1999), though, and this time he’s bold enough to suggest that, actually, one day, things might not be so rosy. Woody’s line from early in the film proves correct: “No one is getting replaced.” For the second time, Lasseter uses this concept as a springboard for exploring themes of replacement and moving on: the story revolves around protagonist Sheriff Woody’s (Tom Hanks) coming to terms with losing his role as “Andy’s favorite toy.”īut despite the excellence of Toy Story, the viewers are again spared: Woody ultimately befriends newcomer Buzz and realizes that they can both be loved by Andy: the jealousy and competition were, it turns out, unnecessary. And it features a suspiciously familiar premise: household objects are secretly alive, and they pine for love and usefulness. Who could blame it for a less than honest ending? Come to think of it, even for adults, is there any film in existence that takes that most shudder-inducing of real world facts- that our loved ones sometimes move on from us-and gives it authentic positivity? Would such a film even be possible?Įight years after TBLT’s release, one of its lead animators, John Lasseter, directed and co-wrote the first full-length CGI film ever made, Toy Story (1995). ![]() TBLT confronts a thorny theme that probably doesn’t belong in a children’s movie to begin with: the dark prospect of abandonment. Still, the overall effect is unsettling: what would have happened to Toaster and his friends if their owner weren’t a fanatical junk enthusiast? What happens to every other toaster, lamp, radio, vacuum cleaner, and blanket in this universe? The Brave Little Toaster attempts to lift our spirits, but it only makes us thankful that Rob is a borderline insane individual. So the movie ends happily with a reunion. The whole thing was a misunderstanding: he never meant to leave them behind. That is to say, unlike the junkyard cars, Toaster and his buddies have an owner, Rob, who, inexplicably, actually does want to keep them-so badly, in fact, that when he finds them in the junkyard, he almost dies trying to pull them off the electromagnet. (It’s no wonder so many of the YouTube comments recall childhood nightmares stemming from this film.)īut for all TBLT’s embrace of dark situations, the final punch is pulled. For instance, you may notice if you watch the clip (linked above), which I’ll continue to refer to throughout this essay, that the final car, who sings of his loving owners eventually having to abandon him when he became too old for use, doesn’t need to be craned to his death-instead, he voluntarily drives into the compressor. The movie climaxes in a junkyard, where broken down cars are being chomped to their deaths in a compressor, all the while singing about their assorted regrets. The Brave Little Toaster is remarkably dark and in some scenes outright disturbing. The gadgets, who only spring to life when humans leave the vicinity, depart the house in desperate search of their “master” and wrestle with the possibility that they’re simply no longer valuable to him. I’ll start by noting that Toy Story 3 is in some ways a remake of an earlier, lesser-known animated feature: Disney’s The Brave Little Toaster (1987), a film about anthropomorphic gang of household appliances whose owner has seemingly left them behind. I’ll dedicate this essay to arguing this claim with a careful analysis of the movie’s themes and characters. But even against heavyweights such as these, Toy Story 3 is king. I know this pronouncement will inspire scorn, since, although the film is popular, it doesn’t get the same reverence as rightful classics like The Lion King (1994), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937). Toy Story 3 (2010), directed by Lee Unkrich, is the greatest American animated movie ever made.

Its possible the upgrade to OS5 may change or update Twonky.Ī very quick internet search for âtwonky passwordâ brings up the following link detailing how to reset the Twonky password to default. You should see the OS5 subforum where users more familiar with that firmware may be able to assist. ⦠but with OS5 twonky wants a user and pasword and there is nothing i can do, no user/password works, canât change any of the settings!Īgain this subforum deals with OS3 issues. Go to for a list of DLNA-certified devices and for further information. See specific DLNA media device user manuals for instructions on connecting a DLNA device to your local area network so you can access content on the My Cloud device. (See âCreating a New Shareâ for instructions on how to enable media serving on a share.) The media server must be enabled before you can provide media serving for a share. Set the Run app toggle to On if not already enabled.On the Navigation bar, click Apps and in the left panel click Twonky Server.Use the following steps to enable DLNA media service with your My Cloud device. For example, according to the OS5 User Manual for the EX2 Ultra ( ): When this unofficial user created FAQ was created OS5 didnât exist.Ä«est to check the My Cloud OS5 User Manual for your device ( ). This subforum doesnât deal with OS5 as the single bay My Cloud is not supported under OS5. NAS Device,Software Transcoding,Hardware â Accelerated Transcoding See our NAS device support articles for more information. As that document indicates hardware or software transcoding is not supported on the EX2 Ultra. One can see the current Plex supported NAS document at the following link. The solution is to re-encode the media into a format that the client device can support (like MP4 or MKV for example). If Plex has to transcode the media (like MPEG2) for the client device to play it, it will fail as Transcoding is not supported on most of the My Cloud devices that support the Plex Media Server. It can serve as media storage library for a Plex Media Server running on another device. As for Plex, the single bay/single drive My Cloud does not officially support running the Plex Media Server. As such what works on a single bay My Cloud to fix certain Twonky issues may not apply to multi bay My Cloud models like the EX2 Ultra. It should be noted that the EX2 Ultra is a different device than the single bay My Cloud (the general subject of this subforum). One can see the WD Support site and do a search through the Knowledgebase articles for Twonky. Since then WD has changed their WD Support Knowledgebase layout/website so those links may no longer work. The intial Twonky FAQ posts are from 2015. Sorry but this device is £400 and itâs apalling at being the one thing it is sold as Iâve since seen the NAs gogle doc with all No all the way across the spreadsheet I mean I couldnt even get plex to play Mpeg2 on it without a message saying hardware isnât good enough with a bitrate just over 5000 and yet some mp4 with bitrate 10,000 played ok.

One large global pharma company transitioned to a digitally enabled lab within its Italian digital lighthouse plant. The increased productivity and scheduling agility can also reduce lab lead time1 by 10 to 20 percent. The automation, and especially optimization, of planning and scheduling to improve personnel, equipment, and materials utilization with fewer manual errors and data-enabled analyses of root causes, labs can reduce investigation workloads by as much as 90 percentDigitally enabled labs also reap compliance improvement benefits from reduced errors and variability, as well as seamless data retrieval and analysis. ![]() The elimination of up to 80 percent of manual documentation work2. Productivity improvements come from two main sources :1. Potential savings at an average microbiology lab would be in the 15 to 35 percent range. All these are currently available technologies, with time to impact as short as three months for each case.An average chemical QC lab can reduce costs by 25 to 45 percent by reaching the digitally enabled lab horizon. They create a digital twin of a lab to predict impacts before making physical changes. They employ digital tools like smart glasses to translate standard operating procedures into step-by-step visual guidance on how execute a process. These labs transition from manual data transcription and second-person verification to automatic data transcription between equipment and the general laboratory information management system (GLIMS).Digitally enabled labs : Use advanced real-time data analytics and ongoing process verification to track trends, prevent deviations or out-of-specifications, and optimize scheduling. Digitally enabled labs achieve at least 80 percent paperless operations. ![]() To succeed in the future, pharma companies need both the foresight to make long-term strategic investments, including those in R&D for developing and filing new test methods, and the agility to adapt those plans as technologies rapidly evolve. To capture opportunities offered by existing and emerging technological advances, companies should set clear goals, define robust business cases for any level of investment, and engage in rapid piloting of the new technologies followed by fast scale-up of pilots that deliver promising results. Now those moves are being superseded by new advances in equipment connectivity that enable direct transcription of thousands of data points without any manual data transcription and without any reviews. For example, many companies have already taken steps to become paperless by first simplifying paper records to minimize the number of entries and then digitizing lab testing records. On the other side, companies rarely develop a clear long-term lab-evolution strategy and blueprint, which can lead to some costly investments with unclear benefits. On one side, quality leaders often struggle to define a clear business case for the technological changes, which makes it difficult for them to convince senior management that lab digitization can deliver significant impact. Furthermore, improved agility and shorter testing time can reduce QC-lab lead times by 60 to 70 percent and eventually lead to real-time releases.While most of the advanced technologies already exist today, few pharmaceutical companies have seen any significant benefits yet. Prevention of major compliance issues can in itself be worth millions in cost savings. Use cases have demonstrated more than 65 percent reduction in deviations and over 90 percent faster closure times. Digitization will also ensure better quality and compliance by reducing manual errors and variability, as well as allowing faster and effective resolution of problems. Emerging technologies can make quality control (QC) faster and more efficient.The emerging technologies that characterize Industry 4.0-from connectivity to advanced analytics, robotics and automation-have the potential to revolutionize every element of pharma manufacturing labs within the next five to ten years. ![]() Now it is a race against time to bring the Thorned Emerald back to its proper home before Cactus McCoy is turned to a lifeless stone cactus.This platforming brawler game will have you wielding tons of weapons as you traverse a strange Wild West world of hidden treasures and seemingly endless enemigos.

Just this year, our analysts tested more than 90 different styles of socks in the Lab and via consumer testers to collect data on performance and durability, from overall comfort, cushioning and fit, to shrinkage and abrasion resistance - and whether some socks were truly as moisture-wicking as they claimed. If you're not sure where to start, that's where we come in: The Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles Lab has evaluated almost every type of sock imaginable to find the best of the best, including the best no-show socks, practical choices like the best hiking socks and the best compression socks, indulgent faves like the best warm socks and - of course - the coziest fuzzy lounging socks.
