![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, I examine two texts that feature male servants-Demon Seed (an anomaly among representations of domestic servitude) and Iron Man (Jon Favreau, 2008). These texts, Fortress (Stuart Gordon, 1992), Smart House (LeVar Burton, 1999), and Eureka (SyFy, 2006-2012), position computers as replacements for human women who are absent from the home. And finally, I discuss computers in the 1990s and 2000s that serve in domestic roles, particularly those texts that feature domestic spaces run by female-voiced computers or, literally, house-wives. I then examine the films of the early 1980s, TRON (Steven Lisberger, 1982) and Electric Dreams (Steven Barron, 1984), that express a rapidly-changing cultural conception of computers, set in narratives of homosocial struggle. These films, Colossus: The Forbin Project (Joseph Sargent, 1970), THX 1138 (George Lucas, 1971), Rollerball (Norman Jewison, 1975), and Demon Seed (Donald Cammell, 1977), narrativize cultural and business struggles in the 1970s surrounding militarization and corporatization. The texts featuring masculine-voiced computers tend to act as the son to their programmer/creator fathers or, conversely, as all-knowing fathers, thereby reinforcing patriarchal rule. In the second part, I examine terrestrial computers these computers may be further divided into two, gendered subsections of masculine and feminine functions. In this first part, I focus on extra-terrestrial voice-interactive computers in Star Trek (Paramount, 1966-1969), 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968), Dark Star (John Carpenter, 1974), Quark (NBC, 1977-1978), Star Trek: The Next Generation (Paramount, 1987-1994), and Moon (Duncan Jones, 2010). Further, spaceships always already imply a womb-like habitat, a mothership that controls and maintains all aspects of the life forms within it terrestrial computers, on the other hand, tend to connote varying gendered subjectivities and anxieties within historical contexts of technological innovation and cultural change. ![]() This division is important in understanding the roles of voice-interactive computers, as spaceships provide a uniquely different environment than terrestrial structures such as houses, office buildings, or prisons. I attend to the textual problem of location in Sci-Fi by dividing the analyses into two categories: extra-terrestrial and terrestrial. Through psychoanalytic interpretations, historical contextualizations, and transtextual considerations, I show how representations of acousmatic computers are positioned within narrative texts as gendered subjects, playing out particular gender roles that are situated within each text's historical context. The voice-interactive computer, I argue, may be understood as a paradoxically acousmatic character: a disembodied voice that is simultaneously embodied through non-humanoid computer-objects. But the question remains: why do these programs even have gendered voices? In particular, why is Siri-the digital equivalent of a secretary-female? And why hide their voices' corporeal origins? Aside from technological inspiration, how have the underlying ideological gender assumptions in Sci-Fi texts like 2001 and Star Trek influenced the creation of such programs? What does the fact of the shift from Sci-Fi representations to scientific innovation reveal about the perpetuation of ideological assumptions about gender roles? How do other representations of computer voices confirm or problematize the gendering of computer voices? In this dissertation, I seek to answer these questions by examining the historical, theoretical, and aesthetic trace of the computer voice from Star Trek in 1966 to Siri in 2013. Mysteriously, both Apple and Google have worked hard to hide the vocal origins of Siri and Now respectively. Real and fictional computers alike are generally voiced by a human: the Star Trek computer by Majel Barrett Hal-9000 by Douglas Rain and Watson by Jeff Woodman. Such comparisons between present-day technology and past Science Fiction (hereafter, Sci-Fi) texts are even more apt than computer scientists seem to have intended not only are Watson, Siri, and Now real-world versions of fictional computers, but each of them also hides the ways in which the computer is implicitly embodied and gendered by its voice. Computer scientists and programmers have openly drawn inspiration from Science Fiction texts such as Gene Roddenberry's television show Star Trek and Stanley Kubrick's 1968 2001: A Space Odyssey in order to create more effective voice-interactive programs. Recent advancements in voice-interactive technology such as Apple's Siri application, IBM's Watson, and Google's Now are not just the products of innovative computer scientists they have been directly influenced by fictional technology. ![]()

Roost allows Honchkrow to heal off damage, saving you some Potions. Fly is an acceptable in-game move since the AI tends not to switch, and offers consistent power. Though its movepool is plagued somewhat by a lack of access to egg moves and tutors, Night Slash ends up a fun option if your Pokemon gets Super Luck, for a super-high critical hit ratio. Found as early as Hau'oli Cemetary, this Pokemon will be your go-to for Totem Lurantis. Murkrow is another great early-game asset, as its Speed and two offensive stats are both extremely high.

Ice Beam and Psychic are coverage, allowing Primarina to pick off Grass- and Poison-type Pokemon by itself if it can outspeed them.

One great tip from the most devoted gamers is to use a one-click solution like CleanMyMac X, which removes junk files along with all kinds of malware that may be stalling your Mac’s top speed in seconds.Sadly, Diablo, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2 Resurrected either don’t work on macOS Catalina and newer or, in the case of Resurrected, have no macOS version at all. A better way to optimize your Mac all around is to get rid of dead weight - apps, files, settings, caches you no longer need or use. You can certainly go through the outlined options above to improve your gaming experience, but this will take up time better spent actually playing Minecraft. Free your Mac of junk for faster gameplay If you quit hung applications that are using up memory and it still doesn’t do anything to help Minecraft run better, try restarting your Mac to reset RAM usage. Quit all the apps you don’t currently need by selecting them and clicking on the"X" button at the top-left corner of the window.Switch tabs to Memory and make a note of the apps at the top of the list.Check the app’s memory expenditure by launching Activity Monitor from Applications and following these steps: This will allow you to quit applications that are not essential and free up the necessary memory to run the game swiftly. You can use your computer’s Activity Monitor to check how much RAM is being spent on apps that are running in the background. Is Minecraft still slow? It may have something to do with the other applications you have taking up memory at the same time that you’re playing the game.
