You will have to store the hose and tools in a separate bag and be aware that the brush rolls continue to turn even when using the hose and handheld tools, so keep tabs that they don't damage any floor surface they come in contact with.Īntimicrobial Rubber Nub Tool, 8-ft. That's why we give this model kudos for its removable brush roll cover for easier, more thorough cleaning. In the Good Housekeeping Cleaning Lab, we consider after-use clean-up and storage to be right up there with performance. Unlike single brush roll models, Bissell's dual DirtLifter PowerBrush uses double brush rolls for more cleaning action and yet it's still fairly lightweight and very maneuverable. And there's a two-in-one Pet Upholstery tool that works dry to pull out stubborn pet hair and wet to zap stains on furniture fabrics and mattresses. Other Bissell innovations that make carpet cleaning easier are its targeted spray nozzle for zapping stains with the in-tank cleaning solution simply by tapping a button with your foot. Plus, it has over 19,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. While we haven’t tested this exact model, we have tested similar ones from Bissell with many of the same features, so we trust the brand’s performance and are comfortable recommending this model. In our experience, using warmer water does improve your carpet cleaning results. And Bissell was the first to incorporate HeatWave technology in its upright carpet cleaners which helps maintain the temperature of the warm or hot water you put into the tank for better cleaning performance. Through the years, our experts have tested many of Bissell's full-size and portable carpet cleaners - including an earlier version of this model - and found them to be effective, easy-to-use appliances. ![]() Tough stain tool, two-in-one pet upholstery tool, 10-ft.

![]() For example, tapping on a phone number in Mobile Safari will launch the Phone app. What is a URL scheme? It allows apps to interact with each other using links. To go beyond the suggested shortcuts, you'll need to know a bit about iOS's support for URL schemes and be familiar with the list of Launch Center Pro's supported apps. The app comes with a few built-in tasks, and as Dave Caolo's review shows, it's easy to add more. One thing that might cause some new Launch Center Pro users to scratch their heads is how to add such deep customizations to begin with. You can see other examples of OmniFocus workflows on Launch Center Pro from Hack/Make's Nick Wynja and MacStories' Federico Viticci. ![]() Veritrope's Justin Lancy created a Storify account of OmniFocus' Ken Case's tweets documenting how URL schemes can be utilized to create deep links into the app. Schechter created a custom group tailed to OmniFocus features, such as adding a task with a prompt. Users of OmniFocus will appreciate Michael Schechter's templates that bring some degree of desktop snippet customization to iOS. You can find out even more about AppleScripting OmniFocus at the AppleScript page.It didn't take long before people started tailoring App Cubby's recently overhauled iOS shortcut tool Launch Center Pro to fit their specific needs. In OmniFocus 2, you can modify just about everything: an action’s context, project, flag, notes, attachments. (AppleScript is a Pro feature, so if you don’t have it yet, switch to that trial mode via OmniFocus→ Free Trial Mode→ Try OmniFocus Pro to see if it’s something you need.) Pair it with the extensive library in OmniFocus and you’re able to do some really neat things. AppleScript, OmniFocus, and EvernoteĮvernote comes equipped with an AppleScript library. These links work in each version of OmniFocus, including iPhone and iPad. It’s a really simple way to integrate OmniFocus into other apps that you’re in quite a bit. Clicking that link in any other app on any of your devices-even iPads or iPhones-will take you directly to that item. For any item in OmniFocus, whether it’s a project, folder, context, sub-context, or action, just head to Edit→ Copy as Link (or Control-click). You can get similar links inside OmniFocus. You’ll need to use Omni Sync Server for this to work. TaskClone does the same with OneNote, Google Docs and even handwritten notes, through a mobile web app - TaskCam. Once configured, future Evernote to-dos or note titles can be automatically added as new actions in OmniFocus via Mail Drop. Evernote will guide you through the rest.Īutomatically create Evernote links with TaskClone Just tap the More Actions icon, followed by OmniFocus. With Sharing on iOS 8, you can add new actions to OmniFocus with a link-Public or Private-back to Evernote. In Evernote, simply Control-click a note, select Copy Note Link, and paste it into an OmniFocus notes field. In Evernote (and a few other apps, too) you can copy URLs that link-and open Evernote to-a specific note. You can attach files in OmniFocus, but we’ll be the first to admit that tacking on megabytes and megabytes of files might not be ideal for reference material. We’re aware of a few different ways our customers use OmniFocus in conjunction with Evernote-it’s pretty neat stuff. The app/service is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, as well as an online interface to documents. Evernote is a popular application for storing all sorts of information: images, PDFs, text, databanks of ideas and databases of things. 9/24/2023 0 Comments Cable modem and wifi router![]() With this dual cable modem and WiFi router device, reviewers say they get a strong connection throughout their home. “We saw great reviews for this product when we purchased it and we can now confirm that this is super fast, easy to install, reliable, reasonably priced, and maintenance free,” they write. If you’re looking for a “zero-frustration” cable modem, one reviewer claims this is it. Many users don’t even mention the lack of telephone call capacity or WiFi with this modem, because there other devices pair well with this one. One says they have “a daisy chain of equipment flowing from the Motorola” including “an Ooma Internet phone device, then a Tenda mesh network, then a four port N router” and “All seem to play together well.” “Sometimes you just got to take a chance on life, so I took the plunge and bought it because the Motorola website said it would provide technical support if I ran into any problems…My fears were for naught because the set up was super easy.” Reviewers report using this modem with a variety of service providers including Spectrum, Xfinity, Suddenlink, and Cox. Another reports that this modem is “completely reliable with no downtime.” Dozens more note that this runs cool and is easy to setup, which came as a relief to one self-proclaimed “not tech-savvy” reviewer. They add that “the difference is remarkable” compared to their old modem. One user who “upgraded our service to a 400mbps because we have a gamer in the house plus about 14 connected devices on our WiFi” found that “every speed test I have performed since activating has delivered 375-395mbps,” which is very fast. Easy set up - just plug in and call.” Many remind future customers that this is not a router, and they will need to buy that separately, but according to at least one reviewer “You can pick whatever wireless router meets your needs and connect it directly to this modem.” “If you’re paying for renting a cable modem, get this,” one urges, saying, “You will start saving money in 3 months. “I have the following items that may be online at any time and all at once: Xbox One, PS3, two laptops, one desktop, one cell phone, and one tablet,” one reviewer writes, explaining, “I can play Netflix on all devices…and there is no buffering at all.” Reviewers also praise this modem for saving them money. More than 1,000 reviewers give this cable modem a five-star rating, with hundreds saying this works well for everyday streaming and connecting multiple electronics. “This will be all the modem you ever need unless you plan to go over 450 megs in the future,” writes one IT professional. 9/23/2023 0 Comments Day r survival specialistUpgrading the workshop will also allow the Specialist to repair more complex pieces of equipment.

It could even make you breakfast if you wish! Plus, it also has twenty distinct virtual instruments. You can easily have a mixer and step-sequencer on one display and the arrangement on another. If you prefer plenty of options and don’t find complicated interfaces disorienting, then FL Studio is the right choice. Two popular DAWs are Ableton Live 11 and FL Studio 20.įL Studio is an application that is loaded with features. It is vital to think this through if you are leaning towards getting a DAW, since different functions can make a major distinction depending on your aims and workflow. It’s the element of music production that makes it fun and exciting for the majority of individuals. Having the ability to feature is something that every music producer relishes. Comparison between Ableton and FL Studio When it comes to the features they both possess It has features for creating beats, manipulating sound, and mixing audio, but it also has features for live performance, like the ability to launch clips, scenes, and effects in real-time. Unlike FL Studio, Ableton is focused on live performance and improvisation. ![]() It was first released in 2001, and it is widely used by professional musicians, producers, and DJs to create music of all genres.

So, let’s take a closer look at the two! FL StudioįL Studio (formerly known as Fruity Loops) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) created by the Belgian company Image-Line.

The SDMB is a raucous, wildly entertaining house party that has kept users coming back for 22 years - "like caramel-covered crack," as one user once put it. Indeed, Adams notes, "in many ways the SDMB has become the heart and soul of the enterprise." Seven Days readers who have only known the print column may want to check it out, especially since the print version is no more. The Straight Dope Message Board (SDMB), the online community that has grown up around the column, will remain open for business." Meantime, you can go to to find the answers to such burning questions as "Why do pigeons bob their heads?" and "How do they get the little Ms on M&M's?" And, for the royalty-obsessed, "A king's wife is a queen, so why is Elizabeth II's husband still only Prince Philip?"Īs Adams writes in a sort of farewell letter on the site, "The Straight Dope homepage will continue to be updated with recycled classics. We're told the digital archive will live on and that the column might be resurrected in some as-yet-unknown fashion. The Straight Dope has given the lie to the notion of "fake news" many times over.Īfter the internet was born and the good people at the Reader established a Straight Dope website, a veritable cult of information geeks arose around it. Adams and cohorts have subsequently written some 3,400 columns, answering questions that have ranged from the ridiculous to the seriously scientific to the existential. "And so infallible answer man Cecil Adams began fighting ignorance weekly in the Straight Dope," explained a 2011 Time Out Chicago article, "laying waste to the world's most puzzling questions with deep research set down in 800 words with enough acerbic wit, humor and clarity to make even the most snoozy science jargon a good read." Of course, there was more to Adams' response than that - information about specific organizations and their convention plans. (Note to young readers who might be baffled: Look up "1968 Democratic National Convention." It can't hurt to learn something about rioting in the streets.) You can't really blame them - Chicago is an ideal convention site. God only knows what got these people so upset, but whatever it was, it seems to have blown over, since most of the associations involved have returned to Chicago since '68 or have future plans to do so. Or, as Adams put it with what would become his signature cheekiness: Did they follow through on their threats, and how much convention business has Chicago lost as a result? This was the Straight Dope's very first question:ĭear Cecil: Remember after the '68 Democratic convention a number of professional/academic associations cancelled plans for future conventions in Chicago because of what happened here. Mind you, this was well before the internet turned research into a series of clicks. Readers would write in with questions, and the column's author, with the help of a few researchers, would get to the bottom of them. According to lore, a staffer at an editorial meeting pitched the idea of a column whose author knew everything and was never wrong. The first column was published in the then-2-year-old Chicago Reader on February 2, 1973. The Straight Dope preceded Seven Days - by a lot. (The other two features? Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny, still with us and NewsQuirks, which ceased when author Roland Sweet died in 2015.) It was one of three altweekly staples that we picked up and the only syndicated content, other than a few cartoons, in an otherwise Vermont-centric publication. Longtime Seven Days readers may know that we have carried the Straight Dope since the paper's first issue on September 6, 1995. We thought you might like to know why, along with a little history of the Straight Dope and its author, Cecil Adams. If you're one of the "teeming millions" who have enjoyed reading the Straight Dope weekly in Seven Days, we have sad news: The column in our June 27 issue was the last. Straight Dope appeared in the first Seven Dayson September 6, 1995. |
