Fire hd 8 vs 10 specs8/31/2023 ![]() ![]() If you really want to go the whole hands-free hog, then you can switch Fire OS to Show Mode, which gives it a look and feel along the lines of the Amazon Show devices. It also often drums up a more interesting set of suggestions. Give it a go and you’ll find it usually beats finger-tapping on the soft keyboard for speed. It pulls up results around tablet content, news, weather and everything else just as normal. The Fire HD 10 will wake just like any Alexa-enabled device when you say the magic word. There’s also a weather widget and a search bar.Īlexa is, of course, central to the experience and very welcome that is. The home page experience is split into three main panels: ‘Home’ is your app tray, plain and simple Library mixes your content from Kindle, your app games, Prime Video, Audible and Amazon Music (it’s essentially your Amazon ecosystem content hub) and ‘For You’ is a bit of a rehash of Library, only featuring content suggestions from Amazon, rather than anything you’ve already added to your lists. You’ll have to access Google Play to get hold of anything more exciting, and the limited power of the Fire HD 10 means it will likely struggle with more demanding titles.īut while Fire OS isn’t exactly Android it does look, feel and behave very much like it. While there are plenty of games to choose from, they’re largely of the basic Candy Crush / Hungry Shark / Clash Of The Clans type. There’s no access to Apple services, no Deezer and no Now or Sky Store, although Sky customers can stream via the Sky Go app. Netflix, Disney+, BT TV, Plex, VLC, DAZN, ExpressVPN, UKTV Play, Spotify, Tidal, Twitch and both Prime Video and Amazon Music all feature, and all of the UK catch-up apps are present and correct. However, despite the lack of Google services, the current build of Fire OS is based on Android 11 and we hope to see it updated to Android 13 in the near future.įortunately, most of the streaming services are there, though. Other big utility apps such as WhatsApp or Duolingo don’t feature either, but there are third-party equivalents for most things. There are workarounds, most of which aren’t very complicated, but it doesn’t come with Android staples such as Google Maps, Gmail, Chrome, Docs and the other Drive apps. That means that you don’t get out-of-the-box access to the usual Android apps from the Google Play Store. It’s based on Android, but Android it isn’t quite. Amazon uses Fire OS for its tablet range. This is not an Android tablet, just in case you were mistaken. Storage 32Gb / 64Gb (microSD-expandable by up to 1TB)Ĭameras 2MP front-facing, 5MP rear-facing It worked well before, and it works even better now. The volume controls stay put and there’s now a dual mic system to pick up the Alexa wake word instead of just the one. The covered microSD slot remains on the bottom side corner, although now it can take a 1TB card (up from the previous maximum of 512GB).Įverything else is on the same short side of the frame but the 3.5mm audio-out, the USB-C charge port and the power switch have all swapped places. Amazon has gone for a landscape-first look and feel, shifting the front-facing camera to the centre of the long edge (something Apple should have done with its latest iPads). There are no new additions to the ports and buttons but there’s been a bit of a reshuffle. Not only does that make it more manageable but the 16:10 screen now fits more evenly into the frame, with a uniform 15mm bezel running all the way around, winning points for neatness if nothing else.Īs for the choice of colour for the rim and plastic rear, that, once again, is unchanged: Denim, Lavender, Olive or Black. It's also 15mm shorter on its longest edge and 8mm thinner. That might not sound like much but it makes one-handed use notably less of a strain on the wrist. It’s shed about 40g from the previous half-kilo weight. The most obvious differences between this 2021 Fire Tab 10 and the 2019 model are the size and weight. ![]()

Emulator enhancer coupon code8/30/2023 ![]() On, I got Berzerk Distortion for free and it’s dope. I could never play a bass guitar but, with Bass Fingers, I can try being one with my master keyboard. Cost me $24.50 and it’s fantastic to lay down authentic and realistic-sounding basslines. On, I purchased Bass Fingers, a virtual instrument emulating a bass guitar being played with the finger (instead of being slapped). ![]() In the coming months, I intend to learn how to use them properly. These four compressors are considered true classics by audio engineers the world over. I paid $69 and I got the CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter, the CLA-3A Compressor / Limiter and the CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter (in two variants, Blacky and Bluey). I finally took the plunge and purchased the four CLA Classic Compressors. It’s a vocal de-esser with excellent quality. I intend to use it on some sounds from the past (sampled from my Kawai K4 maybe) which lack movement. It’s a fun plugin which makes sounds move in space. On, I took the plunge and got Brauer Motion, a circular stereo auto-panner designed with Michael Brauer who mixes Coldplay. A dynamic EQ is similar to a multiband compressor but it is much easier to use. With a dynamic EQ, the cut will be made when the cymbal is really loud (and this happens only momentarily). If a normal EQ is used, then high frequencies will be cut throughout. One example of use is when trying to EQ a harsh cymbal. A dynamic EQ is an EQ where cut or boost are made only if a signal crosses a certain threshold. I’m done.Īm I? Two days later, on, I got the F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ on Waves website at $21.75. ![]() On , I finally bought the L2 Ultramaximizer on the Waves website at $29.00. I used it to tame a bassline (albeit with Bass Rider before it) and the resulting sound was amazingly good. The only plugin I intend to buy now is the L2 Ultramaximizer. But I only had to use the Omni Channel once to realise how good it was. After all, I already own a compressor and an EQ. I had no intention to get a channel strip. Both costs $29 but more like $25.38 with the discount on Waves’ website. On, I got the Vitamin Sonic Enhancer and took the plunge for the Scheps Omni Channel. It is transparent and makes voices twice better. I have used it only once since to tune Anya’s and Kyan’s voices while they were singing Where’s the Revolution by Depeche Mode and it is a fantastic plugin. On after reading a lot, I bought Waves Tune at $24.36 on Plugin Discounts. Each cost $29 but with the Waves discount for the 2nd plugin it was more like $25.38 each. On, I got Bass Rider and the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor (which I didn’t intend to buy but which is excellent to glue a mix) on Waves’ website. It was slightly cheaper on Plugin Discounts but, for some reason, my credit card was not working there. On , I got Vocal Rider at $29 on Waves’ website. On, I got Center at $24.36 on Plugin Discounts. Right now, it is available at $69 which is too much.Īs for Vocal and Bass Rider, I can wait as I am not recording vocals or bass these days. Right now, I am quite far from making final mixes or mastering so I can wait a bit for the L2 to become available, either on Waves’ website or at Plugin Discounts, at $29. ![]() ![]() What remains now is the L2 Ultramaximizer which I use on my main bus to make sure that there is no clipping. The bundle cost me $72.07 which means that each individual plugin is less then $29 and the discount is a staggering 92%. I got the Waves WLM Plus Loudness Meter at $24.36 (94% discount, which is amazing!), the Waves Dorrough Stereo Meter at $32.76 (which is more than $29 I know but which I had to get in my first Waves purchase ever because I am so reliant on it when mixing, 84% discount) and the Waves H-Series consisting of H-Reverb, H-Delay, H-EQ and H-Comp. I take the decision to always use such websites in the future and to only buy plugins if they are less or equal to $29 each. On 19 June 2018, I finally discover that a lot of people buy Waves plugins from Plugin Discounts which offers some of the best deals on the planet. There is now a phenomenal discount of $1807.75 off the regular price. On 29 November 2017, I found out about the massive Cyber Monday Deal, still on Waves’ website: This is a massive 80% discount!!! But it is still a bit expensive for me. My favoured 9 plugins would today cost $420.05 (Rs 14,865) instead of $2131 (regular price). On 19 April 2017, I discover this incredible deal there. Unfortunately, buying them would cost me $2,131 which is waaaaayyyyy too expensive.įortunately, Waves regularly offer deals on its website. In my previous Bundles of Waves plugins post, I wrote that, even though I have tried a number of Waves audio plugins over the years, I have 9 favourites: ![]() Steam deck cost8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() If you want something huge to sink your teeth into on your handheld then this is the game to.

Yesterday, Valve compared the Steam Deck's technical capabilities to those of a gaming laptop capable of running the current crop of AAA games. Valve hardware director Shreya Liu said Steam Deck was "designed with that in mind, and we worked very, very hard to achieve the price point that we're at". But that was pretty clearly a critical aspect to it." And the console wasnt charging at all, so i had to went and buy a 45watt charger which cost me 2,990 rupees from a local store.

The next example resembles our first scenario: we’re going to delete something-this time, it’s an entire branch that has to go. Let’s look at another example and use the Reflog to recover an entire branch. Let’s take a look at our graphical Git client again:Īs you can see, the new branch, happy-ending, has been created and it includes the commits we deleted earlier-awesome, nothing is lost! But in this case, I’m going to create a new branch based on the old state: $ git branch happy-ending e5b19e4 You could use git reset again, which is totally valid. Copy the hash ID (which is e5b19e4 in this specific example) to the clipboard, like before. So, let’s use it to undo that last action and restore the state before the reset command. The journal seems to work-that’s good news. ![]() And, if you look closely, you will notice the fatal git reset action from a few minutes ago right at the top. ![]() That means: the most recent-the newest-commits are at the top. You’ll notice that all entries are ordered chronologically. Type git reflog to view the journal in your terminal: Now, let’s assume this was a mistake and take a look at the Reflog to recover the lost data. All we need to do is copy the hash ID to the clipboard and then use git reset on the command line and enter that hash: $ git reset -hard 2b504bee We want to get rid of two commits and make the “Change headlines for about and imprint” commit (ID: 2b504bee) our last revision on the master branch. The next image shows our original commit history in Tower, a graphical Git client: So, let’s mess things up and make this mistake in real life. In other words: keep calm and use git reflog! You’ve just lost valuable changes and start to panic!ĭo you really have to start from scratch again? You don’t. You courageously perform a git reset, the two commits disappear from the commit history… and a while later, you notice that this was a mistake. Imagine the following scenario: After looking at your commit history, you decide to get rid of the last two commits. To adjust the Reflog’s expiration date for the user or the system, add the -system or -global parameter to the commands shown above.Įnough theoretical background-let me show you how to work with git reflog to correct mistakes. git/config), the global per-user configuration ( $HOME/.gitconfig), and the system-wide settings ( /etc/gitconfig). Tip: Remember that Git makes a distinction between the repository’s configuration file (. git/config) now includes the variable reflogExpire with the value Īlternatively, you can decide that your Reflog should never expire: $ git config gc.reflogExpire never To change the number of days to 180, simply type the following command: $ git config gc.reflogExpire The repository’s configuration file (. Git’s diary usually gets cleaned up after 90 days (that’s the default setting), but you can easily adjust the expiration date of the Reflog. git/logs/refs/heads/ and it tracks the local commits for every branch. This local recording technically isn’t part of the repository and it’s stored separately from the commits. That’s why you can think of it as some kind of “undo history” like you might see in word processors, text editors, etc. Instead, it shows an ordered list of all commits which HEAD has pointed to in the past. It doesn’t go through the list of ancestors. Git reflog, on the other hand, is a private and workspace-related recording. It’s part of the repository which means it gets replicated after you push, fetch, or pull. The log goes all the way back in the commit history by recursively printing every commit’s parent. its parent, the next parent in line, etc. It shows the current HEAD and its ancestors, i.e. In previous articles, I’ve recommended you use the git log command to inspect previous events and look at your commit history, and that’s exactly what it does.

I still have the 60mm, but I think my brother is going to get it from me. I started with the 60mm, then jumped to the 100mm L IS, mostly for the IS. Then you would have to back away and reduce magnification to fit it in the frame, while a full frame could make use of full magnification. It could even be a disadvantage if the subject is larger than your crop sensor. Magnification is a factor of the lens, not the sensor when you are talking about macro. The image on the sensor is still 1:1 (or life size) at the minimum focus distance. ![]() If you buy the lens primarily for doing macro, larger magnification is a pure advantage. So 100mm macro lens is effectively 1.6:1 lens on a crop camera. MFD is the same on both FF and crop cameras. Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. 35mm full-frame Full-frame is also known as 35mm full-frame, and it originates from the 35mm film is used in film cameras. Is it really that much different picture quality th. The only difference when using a FF macro lens on a crop is that you get 1.6x higher magnification, at the same distance. Then came the digital revolution and cropped sensor cameras made these lenses really impressive as we gained relative depth of field and greater reproduction. Full-frame: 36 x 24mm APS-C (Canon): 22.3 x 14.8mm. I dont think I would be shooting much bugs as I dont get to see many of them anyway I guess I will be doing flower shots, item shots, and mainly water dripping from leaves/flower shots. Thank you guys! Oh well, its not so easy after all. My bottom line: if you think you are going to do bugs, I would start with the 100mm. ![]() If you end up using extension tubes for more magnification (don't do this to start), you will get more magnification with the shorter focal length.īTW, the photo in my avatar, of a small spider exploring my fingernail, was shot with the 60mm and 68mm of extension (the full set of Kenko tubes), for a magnification somewhat over 2:1. When I do tripod-mounted shots of flowers, I more often use the 60 because the shorter working distance can be an advantage when you are working on a table top. ![]() I have a crop sensor camera and both the 100mm L and the EF-S 60mm. If you are going to do indoor work on a tripod, it's not so obvious. (You will still be VERY close if you want minimum focusing distance). if you are going to chase bugs, 100mm is a nice length because it does let you say a little farther away than a 60mm. The ideal focal length depends on what you are going to shoot. In fact, the area of an APS-C sensor is about 1.6 times the area of a micro four thirds sensor, albeit with an aspect ratio of 3:2 for APS-C rather than 4:3 for micro four thirds. Yes to both questions, for that lens (and most macro lenses). As you can see, the difference between APS-C and micro four thirds is a bit less than the difference between full frame an APS-C. So if I focus on objects further than that. Do you get 1:1 only if you are in the minimum focussing distance? ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
