![]() In fact, if PCalc had only the LCD segment font, I would never use it. PCalc has two fonts for the display: a retro font that mimics the old LCD-segment displays and a solid font with rounded numerals.Īs you might guess from the earlier screenshots, I much prefer the easier-to-read font. ![]() The next rounded rectangle contains the aesthetic settings for the number display. PCalc doesn’t let you create your own themes or layouts you’ll just have to live with one of the 24 vertical and 30 horizontal combinations. I’m torn between the Default and Mirror horizontal layouts-Default puts the number keys closer to my right hand, but there’s something about Mirror that looks better to me. I use the Primary Colors theme (the theme I’ve used to show all the layouts) and the Retro vertical layout. PCalc has four portrait layouts: Basic, Classic PCalc, Default, and Retro:Īnd five horizontal layouts: Classic PCalc, Default, Mirror, Retro Hex, and Retro Scientific: Seventy Three has a more rounded key shape in addition to its own color scheme. ![]() Themes are basically color schemes, and PCalc has six of them.įrom left to right and top to bottom, the themes are A Touch Of Color, Blue Sun, High Power, Primary Colors, Rough Draft, and Seventy Three. The next rounded rectangle lets you choose the theme and layout of your calculator. The thousands-separating comma in the Normal display is a setting we’ll get to in a bit. In Scientific, there’s always one digit to the left of the decimal point in Engineering, the exponent is always a multiple of 3. The little numbers in the Scientific and Engineering displays represent the exponents in the expressions 2.49000×10 4 and 24.9000×10 3, respectively. The Normal, Scientific, and Engineering displays of this number would be as follows: ![]() The equatorial circumference of the Earth is 24,900 miles. The difference between “Normal,” “Scientific,” and “Engineering” is best shown with an example. If you have the iPhone upright, you’ll see the digits in the display get smaller as you slide the control farther to the right. The slider controls the number of decimal places and the checkbox controls whether a number like 5.375 is displayed as 5.375 or 5.37500. These are what I consider to be the structural settings for the number display-how many digits are shown and how they’re arranged. The first group of appearance settings is in the second rounded rectangle. Changes you make to the settings are immediately visible in the display, which means you usually don’t have to keep going back and forth between the settings and the calculator to see the effect of your changes. When you’re fiddling with the settings, the calculator display is actually always visible at the bottom of the iPhone screen 1, and the list of settings scrolls behind it. (I should mention here that although the screenshot above shows the calculator display at the bottom of the list of settings, that’s not how it looks on the phone. Related settings are grouped in the white rounded rectangles. In this post, we’ll focus on the settings that control the way PCalc looks. Like a Dashboard widget, PCalc has an icon with a circled i which, when pressed, shows you its configuration options. This one describes PCalc’s various “looks” and how you can, within limits, customize its appearance to fit your taste and needs. The first post covered, in brief, my reasons for using PCalc instead of the iPhone’s built-in calculator. This is the second in my Definitive Series of Posts on PCalc for the iPhone.

Sleep studies happen all the time, and they tell us what exterior activities are affecting our dreams, our nightmares, etc., and talking to yourself as you drift off to bed has been proven to work. Tell yourself, “I want to get up early because…” and then, actually do it. This sounds dumb, and trust me here, it’s not going to be easy, but when you look at a goal you really, truly, deeply want, and you associate it with having to get up early in the morning to achieve it, you’ll start prioritizing. Your body needs time to adjust, and if you can wean into it like this, in a month, you’ll be waking up a half-hour early. I’m not going to get all existential on you and make you contemplate your place in the universe, because you already know what that is-being the version of you that gets up earlier. We have biological clocks it’s not just some weird term we use. Get up one minute earlier each and every day.These are just a few ways you can seize the day without razing the curtains. You up to the task? You have to get the day rolling before you roll out of bed. Q: How To Train Yourself To Wake Up EarlyĪ: This is no simple task. They’re the big guns in this game, and the other small alarms are the infantry. Alarm clocks for heavy sleepers are going to have a louder radio capability, which will get through those thick dreams of yours, and get you up.Īlso, don’t just set an alarm-set five alarms, on everything you can in the house (explained later) and don’t just rely on your one digital clock to handle all of it. Your digital alarm clock should also be a radio alarm clock, so you can wake up to some tunes and start the day off right. Set up your bedroom clock to be close enough to you to shut it off, but far enough away that you have to get up to actually his snooze or power it down. You need a loud alarm clock that’s going to actually do its job, and pull in some weight. When you want to go for the gold and make sure you’re getting up on time, you need to do more than just set your digital clock. The point is that it’s set, right? Eh, not exactly. Be sure to also check out our guide to the best desk clocks for more cool products like this.Īlarm Clocks Buyers Guide Q: What Is The Best Way To Set An Alarm?Ī: This seems like a loaded question. Consisting of child-safe ABS and silicone, this exquisite alarm clock is safe and durable and approved by a variety of competent and statutory certifying institutions and organizations. Three alarm sounds are available to choose from whilst an alarm and silent countdown track their activities. It comes with three sleep sound options as well as five night light colors that calm your child to sleep. It uses colors and facial expressions to convey timekeeping principles to your children at a very early age.įor example, thirty minutes before wake up time, Mella will glow yellow indicating it is nearly time to be up and at the exact wake-up time, it goes green. The Little Hippo Mella Alarm Clock possesses a patented sleek beautiful design that makes it most appealing especially for children to help them cultivate timekeeping values right from the start. What comes after a good alarm clock? One of the best coffee machines, of course.Research has revealed that naturally, time does not really matter to children under age eight but at the same time adults understand that every single activity under the sun is time-bound, that is why it is essential to inculcate time values into the little ones at a very early age and no device is able to do that better than the Mella alarm clock designed purposely with the child in mind. You’ll find some of the best alarm clocks you can buy today below. Alarm clocks with DAB radios, wake-up lights and wireless smart features seem to be everywhere, but the extensive array of options does mean you don’t have to rise to a bleep as robotic and unforgiving as The Terminator. ![]() With so many options available on the market, it can be hard to wade your way through the seemingly endless list of offerings. These are alarm clocks that try and wake you with 'natural' light, rather than beeping. UPDATE: If you are looking for something to wake you up in a more natural way, then check out our best wake up light guide. And it definitely won't make your boss less of an infuriating micro-manager.īut it might just transform that moment you wake-up from one of yawning existential horror to something some people might actually consider to be pleasant. A great alarm clock won’t stop the toast burning. ![]() Some people feel a stinging sensation with the eye drops post surgery, but I didn't experience that. They numb your eye with freezing eye drops, so you don't feel a thing. Is there pain during or post surgery? No, just uncomfortableness. The morning after, I significantly saw a difference in my vision. The 2 hours post surgery were the most uncomfortable, but once I was able to take a nap, things got better. Lucky me, the relaxant didn't kick in until after, so I spent most of Friday in and out of sleep, excessively tearing and drooling. Dean Smith was recommended by my optometrist, so I didn't bother looking into Bochner or Lasik MD (both highly reputable places).ĭid I take a relaxant? Yes, I was given one prior to the surgery. Where did I have the procedure done? TLC Laser Eye Center in Mississauga. It is not your eye burning however, but rather the chemical reaction of the laser on the cornea. It essentially feels like pressure being put onto your eye, to the point where you go from seeing an orange laser to just black. The second part is where the surgeon performs the laser vision correction treatment, and is where you can smell that infamous disconcerting smell of burning flesh. ![]() What procedure did I qualify for? I qualified for bladeless lasik, so the first part of the surgery was the creation of the corneal tissue. People waiting outside can actually view the process via a monitor. It felt longer than 15 minutes, but the surgery doesn't surpass that. How long is the procedure? The procedure itself was quite scary, and equally so even if I had known exactly what would happen next. Still blinded by my phone every morning though. I think the biggest change is being able to wake up and simply see - I can't begin to explain how amazing that feels. My usual routine of removing my contacts before I shower or before bed, or putting them on in the morning, are now nonexistent. My eyes are extremely dry, and I keep thinking I'm over wearing my contacts. The past few days I've been trying to rest my eyes, and stick to the recommended eye drop regime. If you're curious to learn more about my lasik experience, feel free to continue reading! If not, you can simply scroll down to my lovely face.Īs mentioned in my last post, I'm now glasses and contacts free! It's a very strange feeling. I meant to wear the coat with the dress, but saw the weather and was too lazy to change out of the dress, so I tied it instead. ![]() I wanted to stay semi-warm and comfortable so I opted for my Nike Juvenates, a long coat, jeans, scarf, and a dress I tied into a t-shirt. ![]() The Pinball Company, LLC makes no guarantee, expressed or implied, on the delivery time of any products sold.

I haven’t played pinball in years but it was on my bucket list for when I retire, it’s the perfect addition to any man cave! This is my first pinball machine and I am very happy with it. Thomas Preisinger (verified owner) – February 16, 2019 If you are interested in purchasing one of the big boy toys, you must call the Pinball Company! My fist pinball machine added to my arcade collection…awesome game! The Pinball Company made the process quick and easy the owners were excellent to work with. The Death Star toy is more elaborate on the Premium/LE models as it will “explode” and those models also feature a Hyperspace ramp feature.Ģ reviews for Star Wars Pro Pinball Machine by Stern Designed by Steve Ritchie, the game also focuses on the original trilogy and will feature two LCD screens, sculpted toys including the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters and the Death Star. There are three editions of the game, a Pro, Premium and Limited Edition, all celebrating the 40th anniversary of the franchise. ![]() Shadows and other visual effects require more processing time when it comes to rendering. GPU can only render one tile at a time, while CPU renders multiple tiles at a time, so for optimizing tile size it needs CPU. So, by optimizing the tile size your rendering time will minimize.īlender was always capable of increasing the number of tiles, but recently with the code update, you could also change the tile sizes. And all cores work on the render until it’s finished without one core finishing before another. When you increase the number of tiles, the tile size will become small and it can focus on a smaller portion of your scene. Tile size is an important factor to minimize your rendering times. Tiles are small black boxes that appear on the screen when the blender rending the scene. This marquee selection tool will ensure that only that particular area is rendered. You can do this by pressing “Shift + B” and dragging on the camera window. Tip #2: Do Selective RenderingĪn easy way to speed up the rendering process is to stop rendering the entire image and start rendering only the region of the image that interests us most at that specific moment. Keep in mind that obtaining fewer samples will affect the quality of the final product, so it’s best to use this method for web-only projects instead of those that require viewing on larger screens. While using as many samples as possible allows Blender to create clearer images and models, each new sample means another second to work on rendering it.īy limiting the number of samples, you can greatly reduce your rendering time. However, don’t forget it’s still in the experimental Alpha release.īefore you go out and buy expensive upgrades to your existing hardware, here are a few suggestions to help you minimize your rendering times. As you can also check from the official announcement of Blender Foundation, Cycles X provides a much faster rendering experience than the current Cycles rendering engine. To eliminate render wait times, you might consider investing in multi-core processors and GPUs with a high CUDA core count.įollowing the Blender 3.0 Alpha Release couple of weeks ago, we decided to update previous tips and tested Cycles X for you. Not only allow users to create 2D objects or characters and animate them to obtain 3D models, but Blender also has a strong community of artists and computer scientists behind it, constantly improving the code to deliver powerful software without the hefty price tag.īeyond its popularity, Blender still has one major drawback for users: It can take a really long time to render projects when finalizing an intensive project.īlender is able to use your computer’s central processing unit (CPU) or graphics card (GPU)-or both-for rendering. ![]() Blender is an open-source 3D modeling and animation software often used by animation artists, product designers, and game creators. ![]() Valve has been careful to reveal too many spoilers about what other characters are coming back in Alyx, but one big return has already been confirmed. The developers have also pointed out that enemies will respond to any noise that players make. In a Reddit AMA, the game’s developers said that physically moving the player without input didn’t work well, so they had to tweak how players interact with the creatures to better fit within VR. The game’s Steam page notes that you can even “rip a Headcrab off your face and throw it out the window.”Īs for other enemies, Barnacles will be returning too, though in a slightly updated fashion. The launch trailer shows a whole host of old enemies, including the iconic headcrabs (we can only imagine how horrifying it will be to deal with those in VR). The Combine aren’t the only familiar faces we’ve spotted so far. Judging by how things go in that game, it’s safe to say Alyx won’t win the fight against them in this game. The plot will return players to City 17 as they take on The Combine, the primary antagonistic force in Half-Life 2. Players will control Half-Life 2’s Alyx Vance, who has founded a fledgling alien resistance with her father, Dr. While you won’t play as Gordon Freeman in the game, Alyx does feature a host of familiar characters, enemies, and locations from the Half-Life universe. Game programmer David Speyrer said that everyone at Valve is enthusiastic about returning to the Half-Life universe and hope to explore it more if Alyx is a success. Players who are still inconsolable about Half-Life 3 may still want to pay attention to Alyx. The gameplay will also be familiar to fans of the series, featuring “world exploration, puzzle-solving, visceral combat, and an intricately woven story that connects it all with the characters iconic to the Half-Life universe,” according to Valve. Like previous games, players will have the ability to save and restore their file at any time. Geoff Keighley tweeted that early versions of the game took him over 15 hours to beat, which would make it even longer than Half-Life 2. Instead, it is its own installment, which lands somewhere between the first and second games.ĭespite being a spinoff, it’s still a full-length game. While fans have spent nearly two decades waiting for a third installment of the series or a proper follow-up to Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Alyx isn’t either of those projects. In the meantime, players can play all Half-Life games, including both episodes, for free until the game launches. Here are the game’s minimum PC requirements: The bounce in sales placed the headset on back-order as Valve tried to keep up with demand over the 2019 holidays. Sales for the Index shot up over 100% following the game’s announcement, making it the best selling PC VR headset in the fourth quarter of 2019. Index owners will even receive extra bonuses, including alternate weapon skins and Alyx-themed content for Counter-Strike: Global-Offensive. It will also support any tracked motion controllers and can be played both standing or sitting.įor players who don’t already own a VR headset, the game comes free with the purchase of a Valve Index. ![]() Alyx will run on any PC-compatible headset, including the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The game is only compatible with VR headsets, which means that fans will not be able to play it normally with a mouse and keyboard. Players can pre-purchase the game on Steam now for $60. Valve announced that the game will be available on March 23. ![]() Loot System: The world is filled with rare loot and hidden quests to discover….I now have the creeper but the ship keeps shooting from the flack cannon.
