A review that is long overdue, but it's not too late. Luigi's Mansion 3 on the Nintendo Switch. I absolutely adored the first Luigi's Mansion, released on the GameCube in 2001. That was my most replayed GameCube game by far. After that first game it was silent for many years. And then we got Luigi's Mansion 2, also known as Dark Moon. And I had my expectations unfortunately sky-high for that game. I actually ended up leaving Luigi's Mansion 2 feeling a bit disappointed. Mostly because of the massive gameplay change to the old formula that I knew from the first one. This time being more like episode based and you couldn't really explore one mansion freely. Now again, it was silent for years. But then we saw Luigi's Mansion 3 was in the making. Excited and hopeful to see if they could return to the old original formula and maybe make it right this time around. Luigi's Mansion 3. Buy or not. Story. I like the story. I actually think it's pretty genius.  Because we all know that they have been through a lot.  However, the hotel that they are staying at turns out to be not how they expected. That old hag that runs the hotel had decided to free older ghosts from their previous imprisonment within picture frames, including good old King Boo. And then instead gets all of Luigi's friends captured in picture frames. They are just never left alone to enjoy a goddamn holiday. Now, Luigi is all stressed out, understandably. And has to rescue them all. He comes in contact with Professor E. God again. And with his and the dog's help, he slowly but surely collects elevator buttons to be able to traverse higher and higher up the hotel. To hopefully find and rescue his friends.  That is exactly what I do with my ghosts as well. Gameplay. This is essentially actually a puzzle game, if you didn't know. This is not a platformer. It is not an adventure game. It is not. In Hack and Slash, it's not really a combat game. It is. Well, there's a little combat. But essentially it is a puzzle game. I didn't necessarily feel like there were so much focus on puzzle solving in Luigi's Mansion 1. But there seems to be more of a focus on that in this game. The camera is for the most part, if not always, fixed in one position.  You control his movement on the left analog stick and his aim at the right analog stick. Luigi has some new movements and skills this time around. Like slamming ghosts around or even at other ghosts. Once you have gotten a hold of one with your vacuum cleaner, there is a suction shot where you shoot a plunger at an object to get a better hold of it. And then you can smash it around to even break other objects. And there is burst and blowing air out of your vacuum cleaner. Another interesting ability is the dark light device, which you can use to find hidden objects. I suggest you to use your dark light in every room, in every corner, everywhere. You can find a lot of hidden stuff. Gouiji is also a new ability. That means Luigi as Gou. You can control him as well to solve several different puzzles where you can put Luigi at one point and Luigi at another. Gouiji can also walk through bars, but he cannot touch water. Then he will, you know, dissolve. Each floor of this hotel has its own theme. There's like a garden theme, like a movie set theme. There's like a shop theme, all sorts of themes you can find in this hotel. This time you have the virtual boo. Earlier we have seen Gameboy Horror and Dual Scream. The virtual boo, it is bad. I didn't like the virtual boo. It was kind of hard to navigate around in the maps. The maps are just not really good in the virtual boo. It's not even in 3D. Even the Gamecube version had the maps in 3D on the Gameboy Horror in Luigi's Mansion 1. So that is definitely a downgrade in my book. Now each floor has collectable gems on them, cleverly hidden. So it's very hard to find all of them. There are several gems on each and every floor. So here's the collectability of the game. If you want to collect everything, there's that. The game autosaves every time you go through a door, which is nice.  Unless you have some dog bones, which serves as an extra life. And you can purchase more of that down at EGAD's little, you know, hut. In the basement, there are treasure everywhere in Luigi's Mansion 3. This is also a huge part of the gameplay. Collecting coins, bills, gems, gold bars and pearls. Just about everywhere you go. And with this currency, you can purchase dog bones and gem and boo finding cartridges. Often I felt like you had to backtrack in the story. Backtrack in the game. I'm not a fan of backtracking. And actually I found myself to be very often stuck in this game actually. You know, it is not for kids. I wouldn't say that this is for kids. It's really super hard game. It's difficult. A lot of the puzzles are just super difficult. Some of the riddles are actually mind-blowingly hard. And in no way could I solve some of them on my own without looking up on the internet. I was that stuck. This game is just, like I said, too hard for kids. This game is for smart adults. Graphics. Okay, so have a look at the details here. Because there are small and incredible details to be found everywhere. Like how items and even Luigi himself look when being vacuumed. And the lighting effects and the general use of light and shadows and contrasts. There is also the variety of all the floors. And you can really feel that this is a Nintendo game. It is in a whole other league than the usual indie games, that's for sure. First part in Nintendo games are always top notch in the details department, in my opinion. Luigi is full of expressions and I love it. Music. Okay, so funny story. I've replayed the first Luigi's mansion with my mom for years. So naturally we were excited to play this one together as well. So for me, this has been a great family game. I have played this game with my mom.  And she was like, don't play it without me watching. And she also played it a little bit, you know, but she kept on dying. So in the beginning of the game the music felt new. Very new, I didn't really recognize the tunes. But as we progressed further up the hotel I was like, listen. That tune, we recognize the old mansion theme. That was a moment. So in other words, there's something new and there's something old and familiar to hear in Luigi's Mansion 3. And again, I have to say, this is a Nintendo game. Of course the sound effects and soundtrack has been well perfected. But the low health noise when you are low on health. They should have dropped that because that got annoying really quickly. Verdicts. In my very own and personal biased opinion. I think I still like the original first game for the GameCube the most. But I openly welcome Luigi's Mansion 3. And who knows, I may grow to like it more and more in time. With the new gaming memories that I'm making currently with my mom. Because this is our series. If you have a family member to play this with, I suggest you do that. As like I said, it is a very family friendly title. Luigi's Mansion 3 is actually all the way quality. Just be in mind that this is a puzzle game. So that you beforehand, you know, know what you are getting into. And it is really hard. The puzzles are mind-blowing. I give Luigi's Mansion 3 a 9 out of 10. Because it is very solid for the genre that it belongs to. That is. All right, so please subscribe to my channel if you are new here. And hit the like button because that actually helps a channel out. Thank you so much for watching. And I will see you later.


Look at this. Neighbor Stefan made this. It's pretty cool. Thank you so much, Neighbor Stefan. Okay, happy new year everyone and welcome to the first video of 2022. And we are going today to go over all the games that we are looking forward to, at least I am, in 2022. And I did make notes of this. Backlog games. It's in my other book. Some of the games that I am looking forward to this year. First one is Kirby and the Forgotten Lands. This one is coming out in spring, so it is pretty soon. Now Kirby and the Forgotten Lands is a 3D platformer. It looks great. It is in fully 3D and from the trailer it sounds like it has good music and a variety in the worlds. This Kirby game looks like it definitely has the Mario charm from Mario 3D platformers. You can still copy abilities of your enemies. It also looks like 2D pads and 3D pads. There are puzzles. And why am I doing this? There are puzzles and boss fights. I think it looks good. It looks like a switch game. It is looking colorful and sort of like a deserted world, like post-apocalyptic sort of series going on. I don't know. But I am looking forward to it because it is, from what I know, the first 3D Kirby game that you can actually move around in 3D. Something that I have been missing forever. So Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, everyone. That is in spring 2022. Looking good. Now the next game and this one is, I am so excited. And it is Pokemon Legends Arceus. This one is coming out really soon. January the 28th. And this time you play as a person in the Hissui region. It is set centuries before Diamond and Pearl. It is an open world. It has several biomes and you can see from the trailer Jubilife Village, which is then centuries later Jubilife City in Diamond and Pearl. Now you can sneak, you can roll and you are a part of the Galaxy Expedition team, where you are set to catalog all Pokemons out in the wild. This is before people captured Pokemons and used them for battles and stuff like that. This is set like several hundred years ago. Your mission is to catalog all of these Pokemons. It is going to be something entirely different and you are going to get assignments and missions. You are going to actually craft Pokeballs. And this game has open combat from what it looks like. It also has new Pokemons. New versions of earlier Pokemons. And you can explore this world. You can ride Pokemons. You can fly, glide. This looks like an open world Pokemon game. And I am just so excited to see how Pokemon as a series and franchise is evolving into something just truly amazing. It looks super good. Open world. It almost looks like it took inspiration from Breath of the Wild. So this one January the 28th. Looking forward to this game. Pokemon Legends Arceus. Everyone. Now the next game and all of you know about this game. It is called The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2. Working title obviously. But it is the sequel to Breath of the Wild, which I just mentioned also. This one is set for 2022. In my personal predictions I predict that this will be coming out in one year holiday times. Like November, December 2022. It's just my predictions. I don't know. And we will probably also see more trailers and gameplay from this game this summer is what I'm predicting. Okay so this is the most highly anticipated game for most Switch owners. At least for everyone that played and enjoyed Breath of the Wild. Now this is the five years anniversary this year of Breath of the Wild. I can't believe there's been five years already since Breath of the Wild. Time really flies doesn't it? Now we see cities in the skies. We see free falling just like we saw in Skyward Sword. We can see Hyrule Castle flying up in the sky. We can see Link's arm being all weird. So he has like a spectral hand of sorts. And I'm thinking that maybe he can reverse time with this ability that he has in his hand. It's what I figured from the trailer. And we can also see from the gameplay trailer that he has some sort of dragon flamethrower new item probably. Now I am thinking time travel. Is this game gonna have time travel? Is it gonna be something super epic and messed up? At least I think we are going to be up in the clouds a lot. Something something and the spectral hand. We don't know much about this game yet but I have a feeling it is going to be good. That is coming out in 2022 according to Nintendo but we don't know the date. But remember Breath of the Wild 2 is coming. Now the next game. Super excited for this game. Actually I can't wait for this game. Just gonna be honest with you. I cannot wait for this game. I'm talking about Atelier Sophie 2. The series that I always talk about on this channel. It is called Atelier. I am obsessed. I have talked about it all the time for years. Now this game is coming out the 25th of February. It is like what? One and a half month until we can play this game. Now I am hoping for a review code. But anyways. This will be Gust's newest game. And it is the best looking Atelier to date. This game is gonna have seamless battle transitions. No longer a proper transition between free roaming and gathering things in the open areas. Looks fabulous to me. It looks really good. I am so much looking forward to this game. And there is something so addicting with Atelier games. It is like collecting and crafting. I love it. Exploring and firing and leveling up. I mean now in Christmas I beat Atelier Arisa 2 with 100% on all dungeons except for the super hard extra DLC dungeon. Which is impossible. But everything else in the game I went and did every single thing that I hadn't previously done. And let me just tell you that I'm having the best time. I've had the best time. I love this series so much. And now I am restarting and replaying Atelier Sophie the first one. So that I am getting ready for this game. Atelier Sophie 2. It looks super beautiful. Much more details on face and animations. It is a game with turn based combat and an addicting gameplay loop. I'm gonna talk more about this game when it is released. So don't you worry about that. Be subscribed and I will let you know everything. Now the next game that I want to talk about it is called Ruin Factory 5. Now this one I think it's gonna be great because it is one of my favorite game series from the old times. I have played Ruin Factory since 2012 I think that I discovered the series. Anyways this is Ruin Factory 5 and it is coming out now March 2022. It is a farming life simulator with combat and social romancing elements. It looks super pretty. Finally back to 3D. Now because Ruin Factory 4 that was 2D and there has been a couple of 3D graphical style Ruin Factories. We are talking Ruin Factory Oceans and Ruin Factory Frontiers. That was games on the PS3 and the Wii. Now we are back to 3D again and in this game like any other Ruin Factory game you can catch monsters, tend to your farm, you can do cooking, you can ride your animals, you can make profits on your crops, you can get married and this game has hack and slash combat and it has same sex marriage supported. It looks so cozy. It looks like my type of game and if you ever enjoyed a good life simulator game I am confident that this will be good. I don't know it's just a feeling that I have. It's gonna be good and I could start this game today. I am very much looking forward to it. Now I'm gonna have some quick mentions and that are the games that I didn't make proper notes for but they are coming in 2022 and that would be Bayonetta 3. I haven't played Bayonetta 1 or 2. It's a series that I haven't played but it is coming. Number 3 is coming this year. Now Splatoon 3 is also coming this year. I'm not a fan of Splatoon but I understand the concept and that it could be fun if you have people to play with basically. Another game that is coming that I know for sure a lot of my friends and by that I mean Tiny House. My friend is looking forward to and that would be Two Point Campus. A new game and a new concept made by the people that made Two Point Hospital which is gonna be a simulation game set on the campus. Now also we have Horizon Forbidden West coming out but I don't have a PS5 yet but I'm sure I'm gonna play it. I'm sure I'm gonna get a PS5 this year. Can you guys believe that it is 2022 and have you guys seen the meme? This is gonna be 2022. Now that was only some of the games that I'm looking forward to. A quick small video to start off the year. Now I am me and Tiny House. We made a podcast. I'm officially announcing that we have made a podcast called Diskidisk. That is a weird name. Never mind that but you can find it on YouTube. Link in description and top comment and on Spotify. That is what we're doing. It's gonna be fun to listen to. I mean people are listening to this podcast while they are walking their dogs or I don't know what they're doing. Driving to work. So I hope you want to try and listen to it. It's gonna be funny. I hope it's gonna be funny. Now other than that I'm gonna make a played lately video with proper stuff soon. Thank you so much for watching everyone and I will see you later in 2022. Oh god.


from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering RSA Conference 2019, brought to you by Forescout. Hey, welcome back everybody, Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at RSA Conference North America 2019, 40,000 plus people in the brand new leaf refinished Moscone, they finally got it down. It looks great, we're excited to be here. And the guy, one of the many people responsible for this whole event is joining us for a return visit. He's Rohi Guy, the president of RSA. Congratulations on another incredible event. Thank you, it is incredible indeed, and the scope of the conversation and the breadth of the conversation, amazing. Right, I was looking a couple of years ago, I think it was Valentine's Day. Thankfully, you didn't do a Valentine's Day this year because I don't think Moscone was ready for you. That's right, I don't think that would have played out well, yes. Right, so let's jump into it a little bit. Kind of general impressions, security is not getting any less in demand, we're seeing increased threats, we're getting dumbed down to breaches, I don't know, we'll give you the facts, how many vendors are here displaying today? How many sponsors, what are some of the basics? Yeah, so look, 40,000 plus attendees, we have 800 plus folks on the show floor. There is a total of 1700 plus vendors in this industry, so it's a very fragmented industry and everybody who's anybody in cybersecurity is actually here. Right. The other stat that is interesting is in terms of the share of voice and the media coverage that actually happens at the RSA conference, if you just put that together, that's more than any of the social conversations throughout the year, so this one week will generate more share of voice around cybersecurity than the entire year. It's the place to be. So let's jump into it, so one of the big issues that you've always talked about is using really kind of a business approach to assessing risk and some of the math behind making a good business decision on how much you invest and what do you protect. But you've expanded that vision a little bit this year. Tell us a little bit more about that. Yeah, we see our role as RSA to provide a safe passage of the world to its digital future state. As you know, digital transformation is a buzzword. Every company is trying to go digital, but they don't know what they don't know. Technology is permeating things where it's never been before, right? It's inside baby monitors, inside pacemakers, inside cars. Companies that are adopting this technology are not, they don't have the competency to actually mitigate risk. You know, the stat I use is one trillion lines of code will be shipped over the next decade by companies that have shipped exactly zero lines of code. One trillion new, marginal lines of code. Right, so the meta point is we face unprecedented digital risk because of the adoption of digital technology. Technology is a force for the good, but you have to embrace it mindfully and pay attention to digital risk management and that's our role. The role of RSA is to help companies manage digital risk. Right, and how do they sort through it all? I just feel for all the size of it between the number of threats, the number of solutions, the IoT is coming on board, the Internet of Things, the OT is now being connected to the IT. Your head's got to be just spinning. It feels overwhelming, doesn't it? And what I say is any time you feel overwhelmed, you have to do three things. You have to reduce the amount of work. You do that by designing security in resilient infrastructure. Second is you have to automate work, right? Which is basically using technology like artificial intelligence and machine learning. But as you know, the bad guys of all the AI and MLV, the good guys do. So the third recipe for success is business-driven security, which means you have to apply business contacts to your security posture so you focus on the right problems, the right cyber incidents right here, right now. And that's our unique advantage. The good guys, the only advantage we, the good guys have, is our understanding of our business contacts. We call that business-driven security. So an interesting piece of that is how the value proposition is changing, right? It used to be the young kid packing the school site, giving himself an A, and then it got to people getting the bank accounts and personal information. But now we're seeing with the nation-states, we're seeing with political motivation. There's a lot of different motivations. So it kind of gets into this whole valuation of data. What is the data that they want and is valuable? Because what they want or is valuable tomorrow might be different than what it was today. You're right, you're right. The clock speed of digital business is markedly enhanced. So you need solutions that can move at the pace of business, right? And so it's no longer about efficacy, it's about speed. Both on the risk side and security, you need solutions that can process this vast ocean of data, make sense of it to prioritize your response, to focus on the things that are most important right now. Yeah, it's crazy. And then we have this other kind of trend that's happening now, which is kind of, somebody said big tech, like from big oil, meaning not a positive connotation of a blowback. Right where people are kind of waking up to the fact that my data is important and people are using it for ways that I didn't necessarily want them to. So this trust issue is really, really significant. It is significant. It was, in fact, the topic of my keynote yesterday, we call it the trust landscape in which we painted a story that we are at the beginning of an era which is a trust crisis where people are losing faith in technology as a force for good.  And I think there is some things we need to do. If you think about trust, trust is based on reputation. Trust is not perfection. I don't trust you because you're perfect. I trust you because I can count on how you're going to behave in certain circumstances. It's based on your reputation. And if you think about today, we are inviting complete strangers into our cars and homes with platforms like Airbnb and Uber and Lyft because there is a technology trust platform. We need that on the enterprise side. And what we're doing on the cybersecurity world is we are actually making withdrawals from our trust or reputation bank account because breaches and bad news is the only thing gets reported. We are not reporting good cyber incidents. So that's the place where we need to work toward where we are able to not just take withdrawals from our reputation bank account but make deposits by reporting not just bad cyber news but good cyber news. When we prevent breaches or when we mitigate business impact of cyber incidents, all of those things, we need to be more transparent about that. But it's kind of tricky, right? Because it's the old spy dilemma. You don't want to tell them that you caught them because then you're not in a position to catch them the next time. Yes, I think there are solutions there though. I think the reason we've been guarded in cybersecurity to share good news is because again, we don't want to reveal details of our security posture and we don't want to taunt the bad guy and attract attention towards ourselves. Having said that, I think there is a way to do that anonymously without compromising your security posture and having this quantified way to measure your reputation or your cyber capability. Right. It's really interesting you go down this trust angle because the whole fake news thing is protecting your reputation really a more significant value than necessarily, I don't know how I can make up some other kind of silly data breach, but your reputation and the trust that comes from that of the relationship we have with your customer is really, really important. Absolutely. Your reputation, ascertains, how your company will live through any crisis incident, right? And in the past corporate reputations were based on things like corporate social responsibility. Your conduct in the physical world, environment, sustainability, corporate ethics in terms of how you're treating your employees on a fair basis. In the digital world, just like you have corporate social responsibility, you have corporate digital responsibility. You need to demonstrate conduct in terms of how you deal with data, how you take care of cost consumer data and are a good custodian for it, how you participate in the ecosystem, the Facebook Cambridge Analytica example, right? But you share data with partners, you have to feel accountability to that, right? So in this hyper-connected economy, third-party risk is actually probably higher than first-party risk. So you no longer just need to worry about your own data landscape and your own infrastructure landscape, you need to worry about your ecosystem as well. Right, and that's before you count in. It's an API-based economy and you've got stuff in the cloud, you've got stuff in your data center. Indeed. You've got stuff at remote locations. Absolutely. The complexity has significantly, significantly changed. Absolutely, absolutely. The good news is there's a great recipe which is digital risk management. Risk and trust have to coexist, right? If you don't take risk, you can make progress or innovate. Right. But in order to have trust, you need to have predictability. And that comes through a risk management approach and that's why RSA is so excited about this idea of digital risk management. It's a great responsibility to, you know, chart the course to the digital future of the world. Well, you certainly got everybody's ears, as you said, everybody who's anybody is here and this is the place to be this week. So congratulations again on a very big and successful show and we're excited that we got to sit down this time not standing in the hallway. Thank you, thank you. All right, thanks again. Enjoy the conversation. All righty. He's Rohit, I'm Jeff, you're watching theCUBE. We're at RSA North America Conference in Moscone. Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.


Welcome to the course on computer programming. In this session we will see how best can we use our computer. So, let us turn on that is switch on our computer. Some people will also call as booting a computer. Please note that there will be a similar setup at your end, but not an exact one. The setup will vary depending on the model of your monitor, on your printer, the CPU etc. We will first switch on the main switch which connects to the spike guard. A spike guard is providing power to the monitor CPU. We will now turn on our monitor. We can see this blue light. We now press the round button of a CPU. We can feel the vibration on the CPU cabinet and can also see some text on the monitor. The computer will start now. Now, imagine that there are four families staying in a building. Every family has a key to access their respective houses. A family cannot enter other family's house with his or her own house key. Similarly, there are four users of this computer, each having a key that is a password to access it. Since we do not like to share our house key with anyone else, similarly we should also make a practice of not sharing the password with anyone else nor even writing it down anywhere. Now, I will enter the password of my computer and press enter. This will now give me access to my computer. As you can see, I have now got access and this is my home. This screen is known as the desktop. Desktop is nothing but the screen that is visible when the computer starts. A desktop screen can be imagined as a hall or a living room of a house. Now, let us move on to create some folders. But before going ahead, let us go to one part of our room. We can see this table. This is the electricity file having some record of bills of many years. This is the mathematics file containing some interesting material related to mathematics, some calculus, some formulas, etcetera. Similarly, I see some other files too on this table.  Now, suppose if after a few days somebody would ask me for my electricity bill of 2012, I would have to search through all these files. These files will increase day by day and at one point it would be impossible for me to locate any material which I may need.  This is indeed quite neat and tidy. These cabinets can be imagined as a folder. Every folder is well named and contains respective files. This electricity folder contains files related to electricity only. This folder contains file pertaining to science only and so on. As we all expect our houses to be neat and tidy, similarly we should also maintain this for our computers too and organize our folders, our files in a methodical way.  Let us now create a folder. Click the right button on the mouse, we can also say right click your mouse. Move your mouse to the text create new folder. This text untitled folder has got highlighted. Now, we will write the name of this folder called subjects and we will press enter. As you can see the folder called subjects has got created on a desktop. This folder is highlighted hence we will move our mouse away from this folder anywhere on the desktop and left click the button. Now, we will double click the subjects folder to go inside the subjects folder. Double click is nothing but clicking of the left click button twice but at a faster rate. Double click on subjects, we can now see the subjects folder which is empty. We will create another folder, right click create new folder. We will name it as mathematics, we will now press enter. Let us now create another folder called science. In this way we can create folders inside another folder. A folder can also be termed as directories. Now, let us rename the folder to history, right click the science folder and click rename. The science text has got highlighted, we will now write history and press enter. As you can see the history folder now appears before the mathematics folder. This is because the alphabetical order is followed while naming files and directories. Now, let us close this folder, we will go to the top left of the screen where we can see this cross sign and we will click on it. We are now back to our desktop. As a good practice we generally do not keep all the furniture in the living room. We distribute it to other rooms like kitchen, bedroom, study room etc. Similarly, we should not have everything on this desktop too. We will now move this subjects folder by clicking the left click of a button dragging it and dropping it below this folder. We will now go to our home folder. This entire pane is called the left pane. We will click on our home folder where we can see that there are folders which are already existed with some files. We will now close this home folder. Let us browse some applications on this computer. We will click the dash home button. As you can see something is already written over here, press the back space of your button. We can see the recent applications which we have used. We will write g edit and press enter. The g edit window has appeared over here. We now need to save this file. Let us click file, save as. We will browse through the appropriate folder which is desktop, subjects, mathematics. Over here we need to write the title of the file. Say we want to create a file having some formulas or let us term it as calculus. Txt is nothing but the extension of the text file. We will now click on the save file button. Let us now write something into this file. So, hello, I am Feroza Ibarra taking this lecture on computers. Once we have modified this file, you will see that there is a asterisk sign which appears. We now need to click save to save the file. We can do various operations like undo, cut, copy, paste and many others using g edit and other applications too. We will now close this file. Now let us browse some existing files on a computer. Let us double click on CS101.1x, IIT Bombayx, July 2015. This folder contains some material related to a course. We can see that there are some PDF files, a programming file and an image file. Let us open a PDF file by double clicking on it. The PDF file has opened up. We can browse the PDF file by scrolling up and down using the mouse or using the up and down arrow keys of a keyboard. Now, let us close this file and view the image in a folder. Program underscore image1 is a PNG file. Double click on it, our image has opened up. We can see that there is a table, some part v, step 2, step 1 etc. Let us close this. We will now browse through a programming code. This is the .cpp file. Right click on this file. We can see that we can open the file using the text editor or if we want to open the file using code blocks, we can scroll down to open width and select code blocks. Let us select the text editor. Text editor is the default application for opening the program on my computer. We can browse through this code. We can edit it, say cout, hello world and we can save this. We can now close this file. We can change the way the folder looks. The current view is of the icons. We can make it list, we can make it compact. Let us click on list and see what happens. The files are used as a list. We can see the type of the document. This is the PDF, this is the C++ source code and this is the PNG and then it was modified. Let us revert back to our original format that is the icon format. Now consider that you want to mail this folder to a friend of yours. Mailing each and every file individually will become quite tedious. An option is to compress all these files into one file. So let us see how can we do that. We will close it so that we can see our desktop. We will right click on this folder and we will click compress. We can see this window. The type of file which will be compressed is tar dot gz. We can change it to zip tar. So let us select zip and we will name it as contents cs11.1x contents and click the create button. As you can see the cs101 dot zip folder has appeared over here. Now this file can be sent to your friend using email. Let us right click on this folder and see the properties. It is a zip file having size 2.4 MB. The process of uncompressing the file is similar to the process of compressing. For example if you want to uncompress this file, right click on this file and click extract here. Currently we are not extracting this because the folder is already present on our desktop. Whenever we go outside we generally switch off the lights, fans, locker house etc. Similarly we should always lock our computer if it is unattended or switch it off when we are not going to use it for a very long time.  Click this power button and click shutdown. We conclude this lecture and I hope that the participants who are new to computers will benefit from this lecture. Thank you.


Hi, this is your Saptan Bhatia and welcome to our newsroom and today we have with us once again Kit Merker, chief growth officer at Noble 9. Kit, it's good to have you on the show. Great to be back. Nice to see you. Yeah, and today we're going to talk about the new feature that you folks announced this week, Service Level Analyzer. Talk a bit about the announcement. Yeah, we announced a new capability in Noble 9, which is Service Level Analyzer, as you said. And what it's really doing is taking the service level data that you already have and helping you set good SLOs on that service level objectives on that data. Can you go a bit deeper into it and also talk about what exactly is Service Level Analyzer? Yeah, so if you kind of start from the problem that we're trying to solve here, it's when you are trying to define service level objectives, which are basically reliability or performance targets for your service, one of the challenges people have is, well, what's a good SLO? Should it be 99% or 99.9% or 99.95% these kinds of questions? And that's kind of a simplistic way of looking at it, like how many nines do I need? And what we found is that people need a little bit of help and we can figure out, not necessarily like magic wand, but we can point you at the historical data and do some statistical analysis on it and present to you what if scenarios about setting different SLOs. So you say, okay, what if I had said I wanted a three nines SLO on maybe 50 milliseconds and what Novel 9 Service Level Analyzer will do is present, here's where your error budgets would have been, here's where you would have violated the SLO, here's where you've been alerted and give you that kind of historical view. And based on that, you can use that as a really smart starting point so that you can just set the SLO based on these different what if scenarios. And that helps you tune the SLO without having to do a lot of analysis yourself. It gets you started much, much faster. And we had a number of customers in the beta that I think really benefited from this tool. It helps them move a lot faster. It helps them get up and running very quickly. So it's really about setting reasonable objectives for reliability and performance across your service using historical data. That's what it's all about. Can you talk about the evolution of this project, this feature? Because when we look at, we have had so many discussions around SLOs so that we can also understand, hey, this is where the market is going and that's where Novel 9 is kind of evolving its solutions to help customers wherever they are in their journey. So when we first started Novel 9 back in 2019, a big part of our vision was to build a general purpose service level objective platform. We saw a gap in the market because we all had experienced the joy and wonder of being inside of the Google machine and the amazing reliability and the engineering reliability that is built there. And what has happened over the last few years as we've talked to customers and gotten adoption and built community and other things like that is we figured out that you got to make it really accessible for people. Everybody wants, in theory, to say, oh, we want five nines on everything. And it's actually not even desirable. In fact, for many services, it's incredibly expensive to try to hit that number. And three nines or two and a half nines is more reasonable in a lot of cases. And also, if you measure in different places, you can tune your SLOs and get a more fine-grained view of the world. So while companies are struggling to maintain and earn trust with their customers and we've seen a number of reliability outages and things like that in the news and I think everybody wants to avoid being that person, reliability engineering is an important part of delivering service. It's funny, I was thinking about this actually the other day because people are asking about the Henry Ford faster horses. And it's interesting because people needed cars but they actually really needed reliable cars. And I think you can credit Henry Ford in some ways with building reliability into the auto manufacturing process and in some ways a more significant contribution to Automotion or Automotion Award to automobiles than the actual car itself. It's kind of easy to imagine a car. It's hard to imagine a process by which you could build millions of reliable cars. And we've seen that evolution with Toyota and other methods of engineering. And I think of our reliability engineering in a similar way. Anybody can put up a website. What's really hard is putting up a website that can stream videos to millions and millions of people all over the world. And I feel like there's also Murphy's Law involved too, right? Like that one customer comes and uses your service at exactly the wrong time and gets hit with an outage. So this is really what we're trying to do is to sort of tame that. We're trying to help people do that. Now what's happened in the market, I would say over the last few years, is observability and infrastructure has really evolved and we've seen a lot more players show up. We've seen a lot more open source investment. SLOs have gone from something that we've talked about and people scratch their head and say, oh, we mean SLAs. So now being something, we generally run into people who have heard about it and who understand the methodology. Now the challenge is implementation. And what we've seen, I think especially here we are in early 2023, we know the challenges facing many enterprises. They got to keep up with the competition in terms of innovation. Their complexity is going crazy. They have less staff and resources to get done what they need to get done and they can't suffer an embarrassing outage. They really do need to engineer reliability into their process and that I think is what's leading to this incredible demand for SLOs and observability tools and cloud solutions, et cetera. We're benefiting from that tail end right now, which is really, I think really great. Where does this fit into when we look at the larger picture or the cultural discussion we have platform engineering, DevOps, how does it enable those teams also to kind of improve their own work? Well, haven't you heard that DevOps is dead? I think that's the obligatory joke, right? Well, of course I'm joking. The interesting thing about these different roles is I really think that they come from a similar goal but they come with different ideas about what is the right approach to achieve it. What we really want, how do we check the box? We want to deliver innovation as quickly as possible to customers and not slow our teams down. We want to ensure that our services are up and running so customers are not frustrated and annoyed. We want to make sure that the team has everything they need to empower themselves to deliver quality that they're not interrupted in their sleep, that they're working on meaningful projects and we want to do that efficiently. We don't want to waste time and money working on things that are relevant. Everybody agrees on sort of what the outcome is that they want where I think there's some disagreement is what do we call that first of all and how do we organize it? And even within these sort of sub-domains, right, there's different philosophies for how DevOps should work. There's different philosophies for SRE. Do you have embedded reliability engineers or do you have centralized reliability engineers? And I have seen the platform engineering kind of came out of nowhere in some ways because it's been around forever but it's recently become more of a thing and I think part of that is a recognition that especially large organizations have a set of shared services, shared capabilities that everybody relies on. They all need cloud, they all need databases, they all need identity, they all need metrics and observability. They need all these things to do whatever it is they're doing and previously you might have thought of this as kind of your data center team or your knock or your sort of like operations team and increasingly what people are trying to do is to productize that into a platform and every enterprise and every company has slightly different needs for a platform. They might be able to get everything out of the box from an Amazon or a Google or a Microsoft. More likely though, they're going to have some constraints where they're going to have to stitch together multiple solutions, certain configurations, certain policy and that becomes the platform within an organization. And what I think is personally what I like about the platform engineering concept is really this concept of ownership, that you have this thing that you own. And if you're in reliability engineering or DevOps, what you own is a little bit fuzzier. Like I own reliability, okay, what does that actually mean? What do you do to prove that? What's the value you can point to? And I'm not saying it can't be done. I think it's much easier to point to that value when you're building stuff and what's hard today is that it's a little bit difficult to justify building custom infrastructure when there's so much readily available on the market. How folks can get started? Is it part of your offerings or you have to buy something separate? Talk about that. So we have three tiers to our product and one of them is a perpetual free tier. We just announced that actually in November. So now you can sign up at Novel9.com. You can get a free edition, 20 SLOs for free forever. It works with all the data sources, SLO analyzer, service level analyzers included in that. So you can use it for free on your 20 SLOs. Sign up and try it out. You've got some data in Datadog or Prometheus or whatever. You can start getting your SLOs analyzed. We also have a teams edition. You can buy it on Amazon Marketplace. You can buy it direct and we have an enterprise edition for companies that really need the full meal deal. But the right size for any team, it can fit your budget, give you the capabilities you need to get started. And of course, we'd love to get feedback about the product. So if you just try it out for free, kick the tires and tell us what you like or what you hate, we obviously would love to have that feedback. Thank you so much for taking time out today and talk about service level analyzer. I really appreciate your insights. And of course, as you said, there will be more announcements. So I'm already looking forward to talk to you soon again. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Great to see you.

But they don't tell you that you may wish had just killed you. This A-hole tells me that we're using wrong over us this year. Please, when we're done with them, they'll be crying for their mamas.   Rex, my man. Let's hear the prediction. How many are you gonna ring up tomorrow night? I predict three scores. One at the game, and two at the homecoming dance. You wanna come over tonight and study for the history test? Well, I really need to bone up on anatomy, you know what I'm saying? I'll order pizza. Yeah, whatever. Why don't you get for one night studying in the house? Is she a good tutor? Well, I usually teach her a thing or two, you know what I'm saying? Target acquired. Lock in mode. Does this mean I can study with Allison? What did you say? Nothing, man. I'm just playing with you, man. Good on you. You gotta hold these for me till tonight. There's a little incident at lunch. You said you were stopping your voice. After the game tomorrow, just be cool. We have a new student starting today. Her name is Ingrid Swinson, so let's give her a big South Park welcome. Hey, I'm Rex. You may have heard of me? No, I don't think so. I've only just arrived here. You will, Rex. Rhymes with... Okay, class. Today we are going to review for the big test tomorrow. It is going to be on everything we have covered this semester up through the Spanish-American War. Mr. Stevens, I suggest you pay a little more attention to this review and less on our new students since your position on the squad depends on the outcome of this test. I got this, Mr. D. Well, I hope your knowledge of history is a little better than your grammar. I'm going to this big old house. Who could it be? Who's the guy? He's so kind of you to show me a town. She comes to the game tomorrow night to see me in action. Actually, there's... And after the game, there's a homecoming dance. I've got some looking moves. Maybe I'll see you there. Yes, perhaps. What did you serve all last night? I had like a million errands. My mom took away my phone until this morning. But by then, it was too late. It's okay. Don't worry about it. You got the sheet? Yeah. Guaranteed A+. That's fine. Just have it after school, okay? Okay.  Excuse me? You totally screwed me. Oh, I thought that was Ingrid. You know what this means? I don't play tonight. The whole team held a whole school is counting on me, and thanks to you, I won't be there. Need backup? Second floor? What do we have here? They're not mine. She put them there. And she was choking herself too, right? They're not mine. I guess you gotta hand it to her. She totally set me up, and I'm sure she's probably feeling pretty smart right now. There's another old saying that she's going to learn in another six months. Revenge is a dish that's best served cold.


We recently covered the enigmatic megalith, known as the White Rock of Vilcambaba within Peru, showing how this rock was in fact abandoned, abandoned midway through being harvested of blocks to be used in the nearby polygonal masonry, with many other sites many still strewn with blocks cut with a natural appearing face but a right-angled interlocking body. Yet upon the White Rock still remained other mysterious patterns, such as that of the 90-degree steps cut into the stone. We have identified this kind of stone cutting previously, such as at Machu Picchu, clearly used to help construct the polygonal walls themselves but also at other, until now unexplained, unfinished stones many found throughout Peru. Nalpa Iglesia, for example, found just outside the astonishing ancient ruins of Olente Tambo, a mysterious megalith at many, including us, previously presumed was possibly some elaborate deliberate carving, a throne, or possibly, like the false door meters away an ancient portal of some form. However, when one approaches said rock with the same eye as that of the White Rock, when quickly finds matching stonework finished and installed as that of the water fountain found within Olente Tambo itself. Thus, further supporting our hypothesis of these types of stone cuts and indeed step patterning found upon them is indicative of unfinished, abruptly abandoned stonework, many left unliberated or strewn among their ancient quarries. As with the many other discoveries made, once one begins to perceive unexplained artifacts of this nature in the correct way, they suddenly make sense and the supportive evidence simply flows from the hidden into plain sight. How this, or possibly another, clearly advanced yet once stone age civilization, made the cut marks into the solid pink aswan granite found upon the unfinished obelisk among many other megalithic blocks found within the aswan quarry within Egypt, however, is yet another mystery yet to be unraveled, but by identifying and distinguishing between what were enormous megalithic block quarries and what were those of the baffling polygonal blocks is, we believe, the correct path to take if one wishes to unravel the mystery of just how this lost civilization operated, what they were constructing, and hopefully explain who they were and indeed where we came from. It is a pursuit which we find highly compelling.
