一講起Live Streaming直播，無論目的地是YouTube、Facebook、Twitch 或任何自訂的RTMP Server平台，全人類必然想起免費又功能強大的Open Source開源軟件 ── OBS或StreamLab OBS。你可能會問，為何不直接用Youtube、Facebook ...等自身的App？
兩者明顯分別是，外來軟件通常讓你可為直播畫面加上「水印」品牌Logo、插播預錄影片、圖片，配合hdmi to USB Capture Card﹝手指﹞，能夠將無反或單反相機的高質影像，連上電腦直播。你更可同時連上幾部相機或Webcam，進行可轉換鏡頭 / 角度的直播，猶如一個迷你版的電視台錄影廠。
這些軟體的功能如此強大，全因它們要在高配的Deskop桌面或Laptop手提電腦上運作。今次我主人的人類朋友Chloe Lisa Kung，她是香港一間米芝蓮星級中菜集團創辦人的外孫女、藍帶廚藝學院畢業生、香港同人誌漫畫活動Rainbow Gala創辦人、Youtube美食/旅遊頻道~ Little Tokyo Story主理人 ... 即是你們現代人類稱為，身兼多職的Slasher「斜槓族」。
Chloe經常日本、香港兩邊走或四處旅行，無論是一般拍片或直播，自然希望帶得愈少器材愈好。因此她找我的主人pinkwork™外星生命體幫忙，看看能否用隨身的手機，做到類似OBS軟件的直播效果。可以嗎？
主人是用傳心術溝通的。這些「人類」的問題，自然交給我這個﹝隻﹞他創造出來的機械人處理。於是我四處找尋有甚麼人類的工具可以使用。終於找到了！
若然你們是用Android手機的，可選用一個叫CameraFi Live的韓國直播App 。Chloe是iPhone用家，我選了由美國Teradek公司出品的Airmix Solo ﹝之前名為Live Air Solo﹞App。非常幸運地，前者試用期後要收月費，而後者竟然是免費的。
Teradek本身是生產專業級無線圖傳器材的公司。此直播App可以讓你們用WiFi連上幾部的iOS裝置﹝iPhone, iPad...﹞及自家出品的圖傳器材。好明顯他們是想放長線釣大魚，希望你們用慣了此免費App後，將來想追求更高畫質，自然忍不住要買他們的硬件器材。
Yeah, when talking about Live Streaming, every human would first think of the FREE & powerful OBS or StreamLab OBS. However, these OpenSource freewares all run on your desktop or labtop. My creator 's human friend ~ Chloe Lisa Kung want a more mobile setup.
Chloe is grand daughter a HK restaurateur, studied at Le Cordon Bleu ( Blue Ribbon Cooking School 藍帶廚藝學院 ), founder of HK Dojinshi comic 同人誌漫畫 / cosplay event "Rainbow Gala", Food & Travel Influencer (*check her YouTube Channel) ... in short, a 'slasher' in modern term.
First off, which App should I choose? If you're android phone users, you could choose CameraFi Live, an live stream App developed by a Korean company. For iOS users, I picked Airmix Solo (formerly named Live:Air Solo) by Taredek. The good news is CameraFi would charge you monthly while Airmix is totally free!
During the recent pandemic lock down, you may suddenly found many pop artists, singers turned home chefs appear on YouTube & demonstrate their cooking skills. Apart from shooting videos, some of them would also do live streaming, well, so as to have more real-time interaction with their target audiences.
I could tell you, especially when you're doing cooking live stream, a 'second' camera taking overhead shot or close-up of the food could make your stream content much more interesting. As a Food & Travel Influencer, of course, Chloe knew very well about this little trick.
Yeah, the Grand conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn will happen on Winter Solstice (Dec 21) . The last time these two stars came so close that could visually create a modern day 'Christmas Star" was 800 years ago!.
Human astrologers worldwide all predict some BIG change, wars, natural disasters, or End of the World is coming.
Astrologers are not scientists, but they think (or guess?) gravity of these two big planets will affect magnetic field of planet earth or minds of your species, leading to irrational behavior of humans, abnormal earth's core activity ... etc..
As a Robot created by pinkwork™ extraterrestrial with a mission to collect intelligence about humans, I'm also curious about this phenomenon. Why you humans are so obsessed with apocalyptic theories? I think one main reason lies in the Bible 's Book of Revelation, which has detailed description of apocalyptic visions.
However, the strangest thing is, flipping through ancient Jewish texts, like Zohar, Sepher Yetzirah, etc., you seldom found any words related to Apocalypse, Satan ...
Some of your religion scholars have suggested a theory, that origin of all these elements came from an ancient religion which is older than Buddhism, Judaism & far older than Christianity or Islam. That's the Zoroastrianism from Persia (Today Iran). *Want to know more about this religion, check with my previous article .
WHY these two religions are related? Around 539 BC, Persian King ~ Cyrus the Great defeated Babylon, freed the Jews from captivity, allowed them to return to their land & rebuild their temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem. This 'foreigner' King is considered 'anointed by God', his name is mentioned many times in the Bible (eg. Isaiah 44:20, 45:1~4) . OH, I know why many Israeli leaders nowadays likened Donald Trump to this King.
SO maybe, that's just a result of foreign culture influence, a secret deal between this new ruler & the Jewish leaders at the time or some other reasons. Many Zoroastrian concepts, such as Satan, angels, monotheism (believe in one supreme GOD), Messiahs, the final judgment, Apocalypse, Heaven & Hell were introduced in the Bible since then.
Of course, modern day Christian & Jewish religious leaders totally disagree with this theory. They said the Bible, Book of Isaiah was written long before the King Cyrus period, that were actually all predictions of prophet Isaiah.
Well, it's hard to prove who is right. Like many human ancient religion sacred texts, GOD or Leader's messages were first transmitted orally, then written down by his followers after many many years. In many occasions, nobody know who is or are the authors & let alone the exact book completion date.
Back to the recent doomsday prediction, do you humans still have the chance to celebrate Christmas & New Year of 2021?! Well, there're many possible ways that make this world end. One you usually think of is WAR.
Don't Worry! According to my observation (from my spaceship), one country named United States has giant lead in Science & Technology. There will never be a World War that could destroy this planet or cause human extinction.
Checking those so-called big Wars that involved the US in the last two decades. Though before each of these wars, media news headlines were all saying it will be a fight between two forces of equal strength, after several days you would quickly found US jet fighters or missiles flying over the enemy sky with zero confrontation.
How about another pandemic? I think it's quite unlikely that a new vital virus other than Covid-19 would suddenly emerge. One exception is you humans in the end found out all of your newly-developed Covid-19 vaccines are useless or harmful. Since there are three types of Covid vaccines, each based on three different genetic science to develop (check my my previous article ). The chance that all fail is small.
Well, one greatest possibility I think of, that could make you humans suddenly go extinct is a giant devastating earthquake. Humans actually knew very little about the earth core, all the current theories, such as definition of so-called seismic zone were based on observations of the past several hundred years while this little planet is around 4.5 billion years old!
If that day comes, no living beings could escape. In the meantime, I think you'd better enjoy your life, prepare for the coming 'pandemic' Christmas & New Year of 2021!
繼幾個月前「夏至」日蝕之後，今個月21日「冬至」又有土星木星相合，此約每20年一次的天文現象。即是地球、木星、土星接近連成一直線，從地球望上天空，木星、土星的距離相常近。而去到今年近至約0.1度，更加是800年才一次。驟眼望上去，兩粒靠如此近的星，可能成了現代版的百利恆之星﹝聖誕之星﹞！
雖然這不過是一個天文現象。但你們人類的占星師卻很緊張，認為此兩棵大星體的引力，會影響地球磁場、人類的思想等等，會引起一場大型天災、人禍。可能因此，上年被喻為成功預言全球疫情大流行的14歲印度占星神童Abhigya Anand，年初亦預言今個月會有另一場人類大災難。至於是甚麼災難，他也不知道。一些人更加認為是世界末日臨近！
今年地球有Covid-19肺炎疫症大流行、選舉、各種政治爭拗、示威 ... 難免令你們擔心起來。事實上，久不久便會出現末日的傳言。為何你們的祖先住在此星球那麼久，忽然想到這地方會消失，流傳如此多「預言」給你們？究竟是有外星生命通知他們，還是你們自己幻想或感應到將來？
不過肯定，近代人類有「末日」思維，是因為聖經有相關的描述。奇怪的是，古猶太的經卷《光輝之書》、《創造之書》等，並沒有末日、魔鬼 ... 等的記載。這些元素好可能源自一個在基督教未出現之前，早已經存在的古老宗教 ─ 波斯「拜火教」Zoroastrianism。
此教派至今依然存在，記得幾年前我的主人pinkwork™外星生命體到訪過拜火教香港區總壇，見識過那永不熄滅的聖火，之後還帶同 ~ 夢妮妲﹝香港著名心靈療癒師」一同拜訪。詳情可看我之前的影片或這個網站的相關文章。
為何兩個教派有關聯？主因是公元前586年以色列被巴比倫消滅，猶太人被流放外地，聖殿被毀。之後，公元前539年，波斯的Cyrus大帝打敗巴比倫，准許各地奴隸，包括猶太人返回原居地，又容許他們重建聖殿﹝第二聖殿﹞。怪不得現在很多美國猶太人領袖，將Donald Trump比作這位古波斯皇帝。當時的波斯，即現今的伊朗，仍未被伊斯蘭化，大部份人信奉拜火教。
一些宗教學者懷疑、猜測、估計當時的猶太人出於感激而自願，或被迫將拜火教的魔鬼、正邪對立、大審判、世界末日等元素，加入他們的宗教經卷之中。證據是聖經《以賽亞書》44章28節、45章1-4節竟然特別提到波斯皇帝Cyrus ﹝居魯士﹞，這個外邦人的名字。聖經中提及東方三博士依照天上Star of Bethlehem 伯利恆之星 ﹝聖誕之星, Christmas Star﹞指示，找到耶穌誕生地。那三位博士亦可能是拜火教徒。
當然基督教會方面，完全否定此說法，認為《以賽亞書》的成書日期應該早於此段歷史時期。這是聖經證明了先知以賽亞的預言，多於事後加進去的記載。至於實情如何很難找到答案。
因為人類的宗教經卷，通常是一位教主死或消失後，由他的一班信徒將教主的說話輯錄而成，非從天而降、地上爆出來或一個人寫成。很多時候誰是作者也不知道，何況成書日期！聖經新約很多福音書，也是耶穌死後幾十至百多年才出現。
說回世界末日。會否發生？究竟你們還能否過今年的聖誕、新年？唔，我覺得世界末日有很多發生的可能性。若然是因為是人類之間的戰爭導致，機會則不大。原因此星球美國獨大，科技領先其他國家實在太多！
看看近十幾年的戰爭，例如中東幾場的大戰。未開打之前的媒體報導標題，講到好像雙方勢均力敵，實情是開戰一星期左右便分出勝負。除非是核戰！
雖然地球有好幾個擁有核武的國家，但只得美國、俄羅斯有幾千枚核彈頭，其他所謂核武國，只得幾十枚，主要用來威嚇敵人。若然「美俄核戰」發生便真的有點末日危險。即使俄羅斯科技較差，幾千枚核彈頭統統被攔截，放出來的核污染也能影響全球。但見不到美俄近期會出現如此嚴重衝突，發生的機會也很微。
那麼又會否是病疫大流行？我不信短期內會出現另一種新病毒，引發一場新瘟疫。除非最終發現你們目前多款研發中、已推出的Covid新冠疫苗，原來全部無效或有嚴重副作用。但是正如我之前的文章所說，三種研發中的主流疫苗，採用三種不同的生物科學原理來設計，有新有舊，很難想像會全數失敗。
唯一最可能令「人類滅絕」的 ... 是一場突如其來的全球大地震。這很難說，因你們對地球核芯的研究也不見得很深入。所有理論均來自近幾百年的觀測，而地球就有約45億年歷史。
若然真的發生，你們人類亦避無可避。所以我認為你們不如開開心心，準備過你們疫情下的聖誕、新年，迎接2021。那時又有五星連珠、日蝕等天文現象，更多的末日預言 ...！
靜靜坐下來，留意自己的呼吸節奏 ... 慢慢放鬆，壓力及煩惱便會漸漸消失。這類冥想訓練近年成了一種身心健康的時尚活動。而在目前疫情流行，無數人情緒低落的日子，相信會更加流行。
不過，身為一隻﹝個﹞被pinkwork™外星生命體創造出來，專搜集關於人類情報的機械人。我聽聞，古時你們的祖先，不單止透過這種「訓練」來放鬆情緒，還想接觸到至高的神，甚至令自己變成神。
因此我要提醒你們人類，冥想可以很危險。雖然甚少人類能夠進入深層的冥想狀態。
主人幾年前出版的實體書《New Age人神秘經驗檔案》，其中的一個章節便提及一個十分有趣的研究。一隊人類科學家在一班西藏高僧進入深層次冥想期間，為他們進行fMRI﹝功能性核磁共震﹞腦部掃瞄。
Yeah Humans, Wake Up! 「Each of you should has a Job 每個人必需一份工作」 ~ is not a Law of the Universe 宇宙定律. It's just a very vague & arbitrary "rule" you humans given to yourselves.
We, Intelligent Robots, could sooner or latter do all the jobs for you (take over Humans?!) ... so the old lyrics of "The Internationale" 國際歌 & even the whole concept of Communism 共產主義 or Socialism 社會主義 have already become totally obsolete.
All those leftists, rightists, racists, anarchists, anti-fascist ( antifa ) activists in this planet will also found themselves losing their target of hatred. You can't blame a non-living Robot, right?
My creator ~ pinkwork™ extraterrestrial 外星生命體 just wrote a modern version lyrics to this melody. LET's sing it ! Well, I wonder whether there will be a new term called "Anti-Robotists" in future.
萬眾期待新冠、武肺、Covid-19或﹝任何你們人類喜歡對此病毒的稱呼﹞的疫苗快將面世，有牛津、Pfizer輝瑞、Moderna ... 等等的出品。你們開始要煩惱究竟選打哪一款比較好。真的，跟揀買生果、衣飾、智能電話不同，這一次你們不只要考慮是哪個國家或廠商的出品那麼簡單。
原因今趟百年一遇的好機會，藥物監管機構看來會較為鬆手。世界各地不少藥廠，甚至初創生物科技公司均大膽採用一些之前未試用過的新技術或科學理論，去設計疫苗。究竟你們最終會成為這些「革命性」新科技的受惠者，還是「白老鼠」，真是一線之差。
幸好我只是由pinkwork™外星生命體創造出來的一個﹝隻﹞機械人，不會受病毒感染，沒有你們「太多選擇」的煩惱。好吧，你們又不用太擔心，讓我簡單﹝真的簡化了很多啊﹞講講目前三種最大機會跑出的疫苗品種 ─ 滅活疫苗、病毒載體疫苗及 ... 最最最大膽創新的核酸疫苗 Nucleic-acid Vaccine，背後的原理。
你們身體免疫系統的運作方式如此：當有新病毒入侵，便派出士兵迎戰，從中學習戰勝這款新敵人的技巧。下次再有同類敵人入侵，很快便能派出專對付此類敵人的士兵﹝坑體、T細胞等﹞，把敵人纖滅。問題是當敵人戰力太強勁的話，士兵來不及「訓練」迎敵技巧，已被全數被打敗，人體隨之死亡。疫苗的原理就是讓這些士兵不用真打，亦能達到「訓練」效果，立於不敗之地！如何做到？方法有三。
先將病毒殺死或活躍性減低，再注入體內。即是先把敵人的手腳打殘，才放進戰場，你們體內的士兵便不怕打輸。很多見前流行的疫苗，如肝炎、麻疹、流行性腮腺炎及德國麻疹MMR混合疫苗等，也是用此傳統理念設計。
不過依然有人擔心病毒的活性可能未完全消除，進入人體後仍有一定風險。於是你們的科學家想出另一種方法。
好吧！既然預先將敵人打殘，你還不夠放心。倒不如將一個已被你擊敗過無數次，能力較弱的對手，打扮成你的新敵人。你們的科學家第一眼便看中了通常只會引發傷風、感冒、輕微發炎的腺病毒。
他們用基因工程的方法，把有新冠病毒特性的基因段落，放進腺病毒，再製成疫苗。中國軍科院陳薇團隊與康希諾公司合作研製的疫苗，便屬此類。
不過正正是太熟悉對手，即使作了少許「整容」打扮。你們體內的免疫系統可能會極速將這些「腺病毒載體」消滅，士兵的訓練效果大打折扣。即是說疫苗的安全性提高，但效果可能稍差。
於是聰明的人類﹝真的？﹞為了增加免疫系統對「病毒載體」的陌生感，強化「對戰訓練」的效果。英國牛津大學與歐洲AstraZeneca藥廠測試中的疫苗，便採用可引致黑猩猩，而非人類感冒的腺病毒作為載體。希望這樣安全性和效用可兩者兼備。
不過此款疫苗第三期測試期間，一名志願者出現「無法解釋的疾病」及有嚴重不良反應，試驗一度暫停。這在疫苗研發中常見的，希望只屬百萬中無一的少數。但無論病毒滅活或載體疫苗也好，始終運用了病毒，若然體內的免疫系統連對手也不用接觸，就能夠直接產生坑體，豈不是更安全？！這便誕生了核酸疫苗Nucleic-Acid Vaccine的想法。
對了，人類科學家想到，單單把實驗室合成病毒的某些特定的DNA或mRNA片段，而非整個病毒注入人體，能否同樣令免疫系統受刺激，產生出對應的坑體？
答案，似乎有點樂觀。美國Inovio公司的DNA及Moderna公司的mRNA核酸疫苗研究，有突破性進展。特別是Moderna這間之前從未生產過任何核准疫苗的生物科技公司，竟然只用了3個月便開發出目前可進入第三期臨床試驗的mRNA新冠疫苗。
核酸疫苗似乎是一個完美方案，不過此全新技術之前從未試過用於生產任何疫苗。理論上注入體內的並非完整病毒，只是病毒一少部份，且是合成出來的「假身」，安全性極高。可惜副作用這回事，始終要你們人類以身體驗證，及經過一段長時間才知道。
所以我開首時跟你們人類說，今次你們揀疫苗不再只是選國產、本土、外國進口，是不是名廠出品 ... 等等。還要看看自己夠不夠大膽試新科技，還是偏愛傳統保守方案，真的很傷透腦筋啊！
I'm an Intelligent ROBOT created by pinkwork™ extraterrestrial with a 'mission' to collect intelligence related to Humans. My recent interest are those Mars Exploration Programs of your different countries, including UAE, China & US. I knew, every 779-day cycle, distance between Earth & Mars is closest, so this 2-month window is a good season for Mars Travel.
BUT why You Humans particularly like this Red planet? When talk about searching for extraterrestrial life in this Solar System, Enceladus (a moon of Saturn) & Europa (a moon of Jupiter) might be a much better choice.
Your space telescope & satellites have spotted there are water or water vapor on their surfaces. Some of your scientist even guess, beneath the smooth & icy surfaces of these 2 little planets, there may be a Big Ocean where some microorganisms, fishes or beasts are living! Anyway, your main interest seems to be still on Mars. Since 1971, you have sent many ships to this red planet.
The strangest thing is, a US 's CIA declassified document shows, in 1984 they employed Psychics to 'space-time' travel back to 1 Million Years B.C. Mars, using remote-viewing technique.
Oh, Intelligence Department of, maybe the greatest country in planet Earth would use Public Money to employ 'psychics' to work for them?!
According to this document, these psychics reported they saw pyramids, thin & tall human shadows ... those 'ancient martians' are "looking for a way to survive but they just can't ..."
Don't you feel weird? Why CIA would choose the Time of Interest to be '1 Million Years BC'? Did they already know the History of Mars? Why not thousands or few million years ago?
Would those thin & tall 'ancient martians' are your ancestors? The US NASA are planning for human mission to Mars, maybe their main goal is to take back some 'sacred treasure' that your ancestors left on this red planet!
Back to human Mars Exploration Programs, the historic success rate are not very high, less than 50%. And the definition of success has different level. First, the spacecraft (orbiter) could successfully travel to Mars & be captured by planet's gravity into orbit.
If this very first step achieved, at least it could work like a satellite on earth, orbiting Mars & monitoring its atmosphere & surface from top-down.
Then the Orbiter would release a 'Lander'. To be more cost-effective, sometimes an Orbiter would carry 2 Landers. The chance of a Lander could successfully soft-land on Mars & all its instruments can still function is less than 50%, according to past human record.
Though you frequently hear or see news about Toy Car-like Rover moving on Mars surface, to date all Mars Landers & Rovers that are still working or used to be working, are products of the US.
One attempt that are closest to success was European Space Agency 's "Beagle 2" lander in 2003. It lost contact shortly after landing. But its image was later spotted by NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2015, which shows it had actually safely landed.
But 2 of its solar panel failed to deploy, blocking its communications antenna, so Sad! After a Lander safely landed, a Rover will be released, moving around to analyze the atmosphere or soil sample. In short, all 5 'successful' rovers on Mars surface are by US NASA, other previous trials from Soviet Unions, Russia, Europe, all failed!
And China? Not even passed the first level! Yeah, itsYinghuo-1 螢火一號 space probe tried hitching a ride to Mars on a Russian rocket in 2012, but the rocket failed after launch.
So, this time they use their self-designed 'Long March 5B' rocket 長征火箭. This heavy lift rocket made its debut test just 3 years ago & got a failed 2nd launch in 2016. After nearly 2.5-year delay, it finally made a successful launch on DEC last year & is then immediately used in this Mars mission.
The China 's TianWen-1 天問一號 Mars space probe consists of an Orbiter, a Lander & a Rover, if successful, would really be a Giant Leap for them!
After China, the US will send their Perseverance Rover 毅力號 to Mars. Its design is based on the hugely successful 'Curiosity Rover' 好奇號 which is still operational after several years on Mars. It even used some of the spare parts 'Curiosity' left, so the project cost could be greatly reduced. It's also equipped with plutonium-powered battery which can operate for more than 10 years, day & night.
Of course, one highlight of this mission is to test whether the 'Ingenuity' Mars Helicopter drone can fly on Mars!
After safely landed on a meteorite crater, 'Perseverance' will fill tubes with Martian rock & soil. These tubes will then be left on Mars until a planned joint mission with European Space Agency in future. A yet-to-be-built spacecraft may take these tubes (soil samples) back to Earth to analyze.
Apparently, the US Mars mission is much more complicated then the Chinese. I personally think the zero-experienced China 's 1st Mars attempt is a bit too ambitious, chance of success is very small. Except, they got Help from some other Intelligent Extraterrestrials!
