![]() She applauds the headless Accord for her actions and divvies up the other Accords to record the varying differences within the newly established timeline caused by the singularity known as Zero. Suddenly, another Accord appears before the decimated body as other Accords rise out of the rubble. Following the completion of her mission, Accord is killed by Zero as an act of mercy and the parasitic flower blooms.Īfter Mikhail destroys the parasitic flower's final manifestation, a kneeling and headless Accord is left behind. Zero stabs through Accord to kill One, seriously damaging the Android while simultaneously achieving her goal. She intervenes by tackling One to the ground and disabling her barrier via phone call. She suddenly appears to assist Zero in eliminating One. She then erroneously calls this the creation of the concept, apparently unaware of the pact made between One and Gabriella years before. Accord laughs off Zero's theory, simply stating that she's "not that talented." Zero strikes Accord from behind with her sword, only for the latter to deflect it with her briefcase and promptly take her leave.Īccord observes Zero entering into a pact with Mikhail to save his life. Zero then comes to the conclusion that Accord can't see the future because she's manipulating it. Zero asks her how she can see the future, with Accord teasing her by mentioning that she can't tell Zero about that. ![]() Her goal seems to be finding the best timeline for Zero to fulfill her mission, although she suggests that she is from the "Old World" and that her goal is to record all the past and future timelines.Īccord meets up with Zero in her cottage at the Land of Seas to warn her that the branch she ends up choosing will be disastrous, regardless of her choice. At the beginning of Branch B, she examines the many timelines and explains that a singularity (Zero) is what causes the timelines to split.

Voluntary turnover is not always bad, as there might be various reasons motivating the decision: relocating, changing career path, going back to studying, or transitioning to a different role. Voluntary turnover occurs when an employee leaves on their own accord instead of being fired or made redundant. Let’s define the terms: Voluntary turnover Voluntary Employee Turnover vs Involuntary Turnover: What’s the Difference? If you don’t measure employee turnover rates yet, check out these step-by-step instructions for turnover calculations to get started quickly. This Linkedin Poll found that 59% of respondents admit that a colleague’s resignation motivates them to think about leaving their job as well.Īll in all, employee turnover is a vital metric for any business. Voluntary turnover should be both a signal and an alarm to the company’s HR department. How the organization responds to and handles an employee’s departure can be the difference between one employee leaving and a turnover contagion (also known as quitting en masse).Īccording to this Linkedin poll, seeing a coworker leave motivates others to consider whether the grass is greener elsewhere. On the other hand, the rest of the team can experience concern and even grief over losing a valued colleague. There’s fear about the team’s reaction, frustration about inevitable recruitment costs and to-do’s, and the emotional hurt caused by public rejection-quite a rollercoaster. Managers can experience a mix of emotions. When a well-liked employee hands in their resignation, it causes a ripple effect across the entire team. And finally, employee departures can hit team morale pretty hard. Whether they leave you before or after they start becoming fully productive, the damage can be pretty devastating. And only once that threshold is crossed, the new hire starts contributing to the company’s bottom line. This means that during the first six months, you’re investing time and team resources into training the new employee at a high risk of attrition. Research suggests that employees decide whether or not they’ll stay at an organization or begin looking for a new job during the first six months of the new job. Once you hire someone, it will take several months until they’re fully onboarded and become productive in their role. Ouch! Then, there is the issue of productivity. In other words, if you hire a developer at $100k per year and they leave you after a few months, this can cost you more than $180k. First, it costs quite a bit to have employees leave you.Īs we’ve mentioned in one of our previous articles, finding a direct replacement for an employee can cost 50-60% of their annual salary, with the total amount estimated at 90-200% of the yearly salary for the position. Naturally, your employee turnover rate should be as low as possible for several reasons. □Ĭomic: different ways to quit your job. Check the next section for a turnover calculation formula for both rates. Most companies measure annual and monthly employee turnover rates to better grasp the organization’s retention performance. The employee turnover formula includes dismissals, retirements and resignations but does not include internal mobility transitions, such as getting a promotion or moving to another position. The employee turnover rate is the number of people you hired and who left your organization within a specific timeframe. ideas on how to improve employee retention. ![]()
![]() ![]() Sign up to receive an email with the top stories from Guardian Australia every morning Guardian Australia has been unable to determine whether the former 2GB’s broadcaster’s more recent videos have been removed. The ban was imposed by the digital giant on Thursday, the day after the Daily Telegraph ended Jones’s regular column amid controversy about his Covid-19 commentary. “The complainants were referred to Sky in the first instance and the Acma will consider the matter and take the broadcaster’s actions to correct and remove the segment into account if any of the complainants refer their complaint back to the Acma.” “Most recently, the Acma received seven complaints relating to a broadcast on 12 July 2021 of a segment on the Alan Jone s program featuring Mr Jones and Craig Kelly MP. “Since the beginning of 2020, the Acma has received 23 complaints about Sky’s coverage of the Covid pandemic,” a spokesman said. The media regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma), said it was “monitoring Sky’s response to ongoing community concerns about its coverage” but can’t investigate due to the self-regulatory system. Where is the public media regulator in all this?” “Many people are asking why it takes a tech company to hold Murdoch’s News Corp’s dissemination of Covid misinformation and conspiracy theories to account. “There are questions for both the government regulator and the companies involved, and the media inquiry should investigate. “The obvious question is if the spread of misinformation isn’t allowed on the internet why is it on television broadcasts?” the chair of the senate inquiry into media diversity Sarah Hanson-Young said. The media diversity inquiry is expected to call Sky News, YouTube, Google and the Australian Communications and Media Authority to give evidence about the ban as early as Friday.

![]() When we ran 3DMark's Fire Strike graphics benchmark, the 1040 G2 scored 717, which is lower than the ThinkPad T450s' score of 738 but higher than the Latitude E7450's 599.Īfter I streamed 15 minutes of full-screen video on Hulu, the touchpad measured 80.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the G & H keys at the center of the keyboard measured 84.5 degrees. At those settings, the ThinkPad T450s (36 fps) was powerful enough to sustain gameplay. Keeping the graphics settings on auto, but changing display settings to match the 1080p native resolution, the frame rate dropped to an unplayable 25 fps, which is only slightly better than the Latitude E7450 (24 fps). That's higher than our 30-fps playability threshold, as well as the Latitude E7450 (32 fps) and the ThinkPad T450s (33 fps). In World of Warcraft, the E7450 managed 40 frames per second at 1366 x 768 and auto settings. With its integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 chip, the 1040 G2 is good for some moderate gaming between business projects. On the OpenOffice spreadsheet test, which measures how fast the laptop can match 20,000 names with their addresses, the 1040 G2 (4 minutes and 14 seconds) was faster than the Latitude E7450 (5:05), the ThinkPad T450 (4:41) and the category average (5:36). The 1040 G2's SSD duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia files at a rate of just 110.6 MBps, which is faster than the category average of 99.2 MBps but slower than the Latitude E7450 (130.5) and the ThinkPad T450 (149.7 MBps). In the Geekbench 3 overall performance benchmark, the 1040 G2's score of 6,408 beat the Latitude E7450's 5,326 (2.2-GHz Intel Core i5) and the Lenovo ThinkPad T450s' 5,993 (2.3-GHz Intel Core i5). The 1040 G2 was not only able to manage my daily activity (email, more than three dozen open Web browser tabs, high-quality streaming audio or video, and image or text editing) handily, but it had no problem when I ran a full scan inspection from Microsoft Security Essentials in the background. Our review unit featured a 2.6-GHz Intel Core i7-5600U processor, 8GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD. The EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 has enough power for most business customers' needs. ![]() Still, it was no worse than photos taken by the webcams in the Latitude E7450 and Lenovo ThinkPad T450s. The keys on the ThinkPad T450s, which delivered a great typing experience, had 1.9 mm of travel, while the Latitude E7450 had 1.55 mm.Įven in our well-lit office, the 1040's 720p HD webcam made my skin look fuzzy and splotchy. Using the 10FastFingers typing test, I averaged only 60 words per minute, which is well short of my desktop average score of 67 wpm. With only 1.44 mm of travel and keys that are on the softer and less-clicky side, typing wasn't that enjoyable on the 1040 G2. That's also better than the category average (4.25), the Latitude E7450 (1.48) and the ThinkPad T450s (3.9). The 1040 G2's display also fared well on our Delta E color accuracy test, notching a score of 1.3 (close to 0 is ideal). The screen rendered 105.4 percent of the sRGB gamut (where 100 percent is a good score), giving it a better range than the Latitude E7450 (91.6 percent), the ThinkPad T450s (100.8 percent) and the category average (77.9 percent). It also boasts an ultrawide-viewing-angle screen the fiery battle scenes and neon-lit war rooms of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video became only slightly dimmer when I moved a foot or two to the left and right of the 1040 G2. With a display that averages 264 nits of brightness, the 1040 G2 is brighter than the Latitude E7450 (256 nits) and the ThinkPad T450s (236 nits), as well as the thin-and-light laptop category average for brightness (238 nits). Dark corners of the abandoned homes also came through well, looking very saturated on the 1040 G2. The pageantry of the early scenes of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire looked great, from the greens of the grassy estate lawns to the orange sparks of Katniss' costume at the start of the games. The 1040 G2's 14-inch full-HD (1920 x 1080) screen wowed me with rich, lush colors. The 1040 G2 also features an active integrated smart-card reader for encrypted logins, and its motherboard has a Trusted Platform Module (TMP 1.2/2.0 compliant) for safe storage of encryption keys, passwords and certificates. You can manage all of your fingerprints and passwords in the HP Client Security program. The EliteBook's fingerprint reader was responsive, as I was able to register my fingers with about four swipes and log in to websites with a single stroke. Registered users can unlock the 1040 G2, as well as log in to any website with credentials you elect to keep in the HP Password Manager. The notebook's fingerprint reader allows you to register up to 50 prints (10 each for a maximum of five users) for secure logins. This doesn’t make this unit worse than the JAKKS ones, it’s just a common, frustrating design issue where some kind of swapable restriction plate would have been preferable.īy 2012 you might expect any emulation based Pac-Man unit being put on the market to have perfect emulation of Pac-Man and any other titles included in it. The only exception to this is the ‘pocket’ version of the very first generation of JAKKS Namco units, but the port of Bosconian on there was much weaker than the SunPlus based ones in the first place. The game code, in all cases, responds to 8 directions, but the physical controllers don’t allow this without modifications. While I understand that Pac-Man controls much better with a 4-way stick, and these are primarily Pac-Man units, it makes me wonder why we saw both Xevious and Bosconian on these across multiple generations when you simply can’t play the games properly with a 4-way stick. While with the JAKKS ones, sometimes you could if you forced into a corner or wore down the plastic enough, in this unit it doesn’t seem to be possible at all it’s a 4-way stick, you can move in 4 directions. Without modification you cannot move in 8 directions. Xevious, along with Bosconian both highlight one of the major flaws of these Plug and Play units however, they have a 4-way stick. In practice, this means that the versions found on this unit should be closer to ‘arcade perfect’ than those found on the JAKKS units the original Pac-Man patterns will work, and secrets, such as the developer display in Xevious can be triggered. That one isn’t yet emulated, but appears to be running the ported versions of the games, as found in other JAKKS units, rather than these emulated versions. These things set this unit apart from the final JAKKS Pacific unit ‘Retro Arcade featuring Pac-Man’ from 2008. In terms of video features the only real giveaway that it’s the newer hardware type is the use of the smoother blend effects, which were not available on older hardware, it does also use one of the extra tile layers on occasion, but that isn’t as noticeable. The reason it needs the newer GPL16250 hardware from GeneralPlus / SunPlus, as opposed to the older SPG2xx based hardware is that the GPL16250 era tech has a significantly faster CPU, clocked at about 4x the rate, with the unSP2.0 core also having a much lower ‘Cycles per Instruction’ meaning overall execution is faster too – it’s actually a major revision to the SunPlus unSP architecture with pipelining and many new opcodes. ![]() what is it? The title of this post is of course the answer, it’s a collection of emulators. Sound is not yet emulated, but even in silence the volume meter moves, as the test mode demo runs which is curious. The test mode gives it a further title ‘Bandai America Namco Classic Games’ which is likely the internal name, a little banal for advertising purposes. The test mode also shows the build date, has a checksum screen, and even runs a demo of one of the included games, Rally-X, with a volume display, presumably used as part of development. This is the same hardware that JAKKS Pacific branded as GPAC800 and used for a variety of the more advanced Plug and Play units – typically those with lot of sprite scaling etc. ![]() ![]() The test mode tells us it runs on GPL16250 hardware. Sometimes the unit is also called Pac-Man 256, because one of the features it advertises is the ability to access the now famous glitched final ‘Level 256’ of Pac-Man with ease. It was released in multiple regions, PAL and NTSC, but best I can tell the software was never changed. The unit was initially released in 2012, and re-issued in a modified box around 2015 for Pac-Man’s 35th Anniversary. Most places refer to it as the Pac-Man Connect & Play unit to differentiate it from other Pac-Man / Namco machines, with ‘Connect & Play’ being the most prominent text on the box aside from Pac-Man. The most common unit is the pixelated yellow Pac-Man shell, there’s a slightly less common Blinky (red ghost) model too. ![]() This Pac-Man plug and play unit goes by a number of names, and exists in a number of forms. |
