Nest Protect Product Review

We recently invested in Nest Protect alarms for our home. The Nest Protect is a fire and carbon dioxide detector all in one. My wife and I have a vintage home and we have always been a fan of the smoke alarm systems that are wired together so if one alarm goes off, they all go off to help alert the entire household. If you have just one or two detectors in a home and they are not wired together you may not hear the one downstairs the Nest Protect solves this issue. Just like Sono’s speakers the Nest Protect creates its own little network so if one goes off, they all go off and if for some reason your internet goes down, they can still trigger all the devices.

Egencia background: Expedia acquired a French corporate travel firm called Egencia in 2004, changed its name to Expedia Corporate Travel, then rebranded it to Egencia again in 2008. “We are thrilled by the potential transaction and what GBT and Egencia could achieve together, as Expedia Group seeks to simplify our business and be a leader in all of our endeavours,” President of Expedia Business Se

LLVM 12 arrives with x86, AArch optimizations

LLVM 12, the latest release of the open source LLVM compiler infrastructure platform , published April 14, features optimizations for the x86 target as well as changes to the AArch64 Arm back end. For the x86 target, a new function attribute, tune-cpu, has been added to support -mtune like GCC, allowing microarchitectural optimizations to be applied independently from the target-cpu attribute or TargetMachine CPU, which will be used to select the instruction set. If this attribute is not present, the tune CPU will follow the target CPU. Also for the x86 target, the assembler now supports {disp32} and {disp8} pseudo prefixes to control displacement size for memory operands and jump placements.
