These days we can’t even think about life without the internet. It is as vital as the grocery these days, and almost everyone has access to the internet. When you access the internet on your Mac, your data is at risk of running out. Sometimes your Mac can utilize the internet even when you are not using it. It might use the internet for updating its firmware and drivers. Background updates and processes don’t only consume your internet data unnecessarily but also decreases your overall network speed.

Therefore, it is crucial to track and view your real-time network usage on your Mac. In this article, we are about to show how to enable Activity Monitor in your Mac’s Dock. It will allow you to always keep an eye on your Mac’s internet usage.

Simple Method to View Network Utilization on Your Mac’s Dock    

Please follow the instructions given here to make it happen:

1. First and foremost, you need to navigate to the Activity Monitor on your Mac. If you haven’t done that before, don’t panic as we are showing how to do it. You only need to keep on reading.
2. On your Mac’s keyboard, please hit the Command + Space keys at once.
3. Now, type in “activity monitor” with your keyboard.
4. Hit the Return key on the keyboard.
5. Select the Activity Monitor app from the result to launch the Activity Monitor on your Mac’s display.
6. When the window appears, please select Dock Icon.
7. After that, head to the “Show Network Usage” option.
8. When you do that, the dock icon of Activity Monitor will turn into an animated screen that portrays a network activity monitor.
9. It will update in every 5 seconds, flipping from right to left to show you the network usage.
10. That is how to place the activity monitor into your Mac’s Dock. Now if you want to change the way it shows you the network usage, keep on reading.  
11. You can edit the time window in which the monitor updates. To do that, head to View in the current window.
12. Then click on Update Frequency from the menu bar located on the top of your screen.
13. Choose the time as per your wish and save settings. 

With the default options, you will see the network graph showing you “packets in per second” with blue color and packets out per second with red color. Now it is a very basic count of internet data consumption.  It might be a little complicated to understand.

You can change these units into bytes so that you always see how much bytes your Mac is eating. To do so, please go to Activity Monitor. You can open it by pressing Command + 1 keys altogether on your keyboard.

1. In the Activity Monitor window, head to Network from the tabs.
2. Look at the small graph at the lower of the window. 
3. Select the option that says Packets. 
4. Now select it as Data.
5. Once you do that, the graph in your Mac’s Dock will modify quickly.

From now on, the blue color will display data read per second, and the red color will represent bytes of data written per second.

Now you can close the Activity Monitor window as your Dock network monitor is active.

Whatever you do on your Mac, it will display the real-time network activity in the Dock. That way, you will be able to keep track of the data used by your Mac.

If the reports of Variety are to be believed, Tiger King’s Joe Exotic will have a scripted series based on his life created at Amazon which will star Nicolas Cage in the lead role.

The Variety was first to exclusively report in May that the project was in development under the banner of Imagine Television and CBS Television Studios. Now, a team from Variety also reports that apparently Amazon has also arrived on the scene and will work alongside CBS Television Studios and Imagine Television in production of the show.

According to the report, the story of the series will be based on an article published in Texas monthly titled “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey into the World of a Man Gone Wild” which was penned by Leif Reigstad. The story will follow Joe Shreibvogel (played by Nicolas Cage) commonly known as the Joe Exotic, a strange and brave zookeeper in Oklahoma who struggles to keep his zoo putting his sanity on the line. The series will prod deep in Joe’s life, revealing why he became an insane Joe Exotic, and how he slowly lost his own identity.

CBS TV Studios bought the rights of the article back in June 2019.

There are a lot of executive producers who will work alongside each other in order to make the series a successful venture. Dan Lagana has been roped in to serve as a writer, showrunner, and executive producer based on a deal that he has signed with CBS TV Studios. Paul Young will represent Make Good Content as an executive producer. Actor and star of the show Nicolas Cage will also be an executive producer on the show through Saturn films. Texas Monthly has sent Scott Brown and Megan Creydt as executive producers. From Imagine Television’s side, James Seidman and Natalie Berkus will supervise the development of the project.

Ghost Rider actor Nicolas Cage is a well-established name in the film industry, but this will be his first venture as an actor at a TV platform. He is an Academy Award winner, bestowed upon him for his work in the film “Leaving Las Vegas.” He also won an Academy Award nomination in the same category for “Adaptation.” His other works include Marvel films “Ghost Rider” and its sequel “Ghost Rider: Vengeance”, “Moonstruck”, “Raising Arizona”, “Face/Off”, and “National Treasure.” His most recent venture is being the voiceover in megahit Marvel animated film “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.”

His future looks promising with films like “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” and horror flick “Pig” waiting in line.

The Ghost Rider actor is represented by Stride management, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson, Christopher, and WME.

There is already a Netflix show on “Tiger King” and should the series make its way to the TV screen; it will be the second written series to do so. It was revealed in the month of August that an untitled series with Kare McKinnon in the lead role as Carol Baskin is under development which will eventually be released on multiple platforms-NBC, Peacock, and USA Network.

If you are a Pokémon fan, you might be perplexed by the fact that Ash Ketchum never really ages beyond ten years old. There is a fierce debate between fans over Ash’s age and the possible reasons for it. Various theories have come up over time that tries to explain how Ash never seems to age. But the most intriguing one makes the claim that Ash is not supposed to age like human beings because he is just another type of Pokémon. While the theory might sound far-fetched, you will find that the claim has sound logical arguments backing it up when you look closely. 

Humans are Pokémon theory makes the case that the evolution of Pokémon is similar to aging in humans, and that is why Ash remains 10 for decades. This theory can also explain other characters like Brock and Misty, who don’t appear to age as well. But there are also counter-arguments to this that there have been old unevolved Pokémons on the show, which completely contradicts the Humans are Pokémon theory. 

One more aspect that is at odds with the proposed theory is the fact that if experience points were all it took for Ash to evolve, logically, he should have evolved by now considering how many different Legendaries he has encountered so far. This further leads to other conflicting ideas that he might be using an Everstone, or he requires a trade item. 

But the theory draws its credibility from the game. In the Gen 4 games, the Canalave library had a book that stated that once upon a time, people and Pokémon were quite similar with little or, in some cases, no differences between them. In fact, things were even clearer in the Japanese series as it was believed that there used to be marriages between them when they were the same species before they grew apart.

This is made to sound even more logical by the argument that if in the Pokémon world, all humans are Pokémon, then humans are also Pokémon. It further explains the inhumane toughness that is exhibited by the characters on the show. Team Rocket has to withstand many attacks, but they still somehow manage to always remain relatively unharmed by the proportion of attacks targeting them. This is also true for Ash, who can withstand powerful Thundershocks and Flamethrowers with little damage. 

Ash is also able to lift bulky Pokémon with ease, which doesn’t seem to make sense. During a Hoenn-era episode, Ash managed to throw a caber, weighing more than half a ton. Such a task requires Herculean strength and doesn’t seem logical for a human being to execute. This further explains how most other trainers can haul around their Pokémon’s with relative ease. 

But there are also many holes in the theory. One quite intriguing one is about language. The inability of Pokémon to learn the human language doesn’t fit the Humans are Pokémon theory. They are very efficient when it comes to communicating with others Pokémon, but there is a considerable lack of communication when it comes to humans.

Even in Detective Pikachu, there is a reference to this argument, as the movie explains that Pokémon react to the emotions and not the language of human beings. Even the game reference makes the case that in the Sinnoh history, humans and Pokémon led separate lives. There is also the theory that the Pokémon world’s years are much longer compared to the real world. So, the theory that Humans are Pokémon does have some compelling arguments that go in its favor. However, still, the arguments do have some logical inconsistencies when it is put to scrutiny. Over time there might be more theories that might resolve the contradictions, but it remains just a theory. It will need way more convincing arguments to make the theory much more credible.

The tense gameplay of Wasteland 3 is inspired by “Fallout” and “XCOM.” Players who prefer to play survival games, Wasteland 3 is a top-notch choice for them. Wasteland 3 introduced several cool features that they never had before. After launching new features and improved gameplay, Wasteland earned numerous positive feedbacks. Now that multiplayer is available, the teams are becoming heavy hitters. There are plenty of combat moves available in Wasteland 3 that seem more like the XCOM series. Usually, when players are not traveling in their armored vehicles, they prefer to do crouch to get better coverage. It helps them to eliminate the enemies quickly while being in a safe zone.

Attributes and skills are a significant part of Wasteland 3. While moving on to a higher level, it becomes necessary for players to upgrade their stats and skills. Some specific builds are helpful at higher levels because they improve the defensive and offensive stats. Along with the skills and stats, some specific builds are essential in the game.

Starting Options

Players can create a squad by choosing a character from several available characters, and every one of them has their personality and backstory. However, for some players, it’s slightly tricky which squad would be perfect for them. Choosing the Tech Heads can be the biggest fuss because they mostly rely on rare science gears and have low combat stats.

“Punk Lovers” and “Young Rangers” also have similar gameplay. Their attacks deal damage to the close-to-mid range. The Father and the Daughter squad is among the best squad players can choose. Both characters from the squad own specific skills. One deal through close-range attacks and second damage through long-range attacks like a sniper. It’s a good start with these two characters, but in terms of building a rounded team, they are not much useful.

Healer

Indeed, the healer is a significant part of every team. For a healer, the charisma attribute is the first, and speed is the second most essential section. In terms of quirks, “Poindexter” is useful for XP. To provide backup, it is crucial to have First Aid ability. It will heal their teammates to make sure they survive longer. Remember to have excellent Charisma stat in the healer.

Sniper

Sniper is always helpful for any type of team. Because of its long-range, it can mark the enemy from a distance, without letting the opponent know about it. It’s perfect accuracy, and critical damage is strictly important for the team. Sniper is already a strong niche, but the “Death Wish” quirk can make the fire impact extremely powerful.

Melee

Just like every other build, Melee is also essential in Wasteland 3. If a Melee fighter has excellent strength, correct coordination, and speed, it can start hitting the enemies faster than any other character. Melee characters usually work in the concert along with animals like Major Tomcat. So based on this, “Animal Whisper” can be a great skill for the following personality of characters.

Flamethrower/Assault Rifle

Flamethrower and Assault Rifle both builds are quite similar. However, the Assault Rifle has better ammo capacity, and Flamethrowers are quite powerful. Both of these weapons have “Big Gun” skills, but the Flamethrower tends to rely on strength a lot. The Toaster Repair skill of Flamethrower is a highly preferred skill for the build. However, players can also use the “Pyromaniac” quirk with Toasty perk to roast the enemies in no time.

Conclusion

According to the character’s personality, their skills are somehow related to it. The players must explore the nature of the character and use those skills that represent them. Having great stats also increases the damage value of the skills.
