![]() The starting storage of 64GB is also disappointing. Despite being “Pro” the new phone still uses the old Lightning connector for charging, not the much more powerful and adaptable USB-C to which Apple switched all its MacBook laptops and the recent iPad Pro. There are two small disappointments, however. The iPhone 11 Pro will handle everything you need now, and will likely be a top performer for years to come. Everything happens promptly, including intensive tasks such as video editing and gaming. The iPhone 11 Pro has the same A13 Bionic chip, 4GB of RAM and at least 64GB of storage as the rest of the iPhone 11 line, and performs similarly. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max still use Apple’s Lightning connector for charging.

The camera lump is now a square raised glass section in the top right with three cameras arranged in a triangle. At 60Hz it isn’t quite as smooth a screen as the 90Hz display on the OnePlus 7 Pro, but it wins on all other counts against everything else, particularly at this size.įlip the phone over and you will see a new frosted glass back, which is more grippy when the phone and your hands are cold, but less so than the previous glossy coating when both are warm. Sharp, bright, colour-rich and full of contrast. While the 188g weight is fairly heavy compared with rivals, the rest of the dimensions compare favourably, making the iPhone 11 Pro one of the easiest of devices to pocket, hold and use with one hand.Īpple’s Super Retina XDR “Pro level” OLED screen is new for this year and is considerably brighter during regular usage and when displaying Dolby Vision or HDR10 content. The new phone is 0.4mm taller, 0.5mm wider, 0.4mm thicker and 11g heavier than the iPhone XS that came before it, but you’d be very hard pressed to tell, even side-by-side. The iPhone 11 Pro is essentially the same on the outside as the mould-breaking iPhone X from 2017, with a stainless steel and glass body, Face ID notch and 5.8in screen. I'm Scott Stanghere from Steve Jobs theatre in Cupertino.The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are exactly the same other than dimensions, which makes a big difference. We'll take a look at this a lot more in the coming weeks. We're not gonna know the full answer until we test them all.īut right now it looks like the Iphone 11 will be the one for most people and the pro if you really wanna dive into those extra camera features, go right ahead and you can pay up. It's an aluminum design, still sports really good battery life It seems and it only has the white and ultra white Camera not the telephone. What we'll see night mode, which also looks fantastic, is not unique to this.Īnd that's the question is do you maybe wanna get the iPhone 11 which starts at 699 includes the same 813 bionic chip. ![]() On by the way that front facing camera can do slow mo selfies now and has a wider area to look at. So what you're looking at here is the battery life gains the case extra durability claims for water and for our glass strength and it's the camera camera camera camera. It's just the same contactless charging as before. There is no ability to do anything extra with the back like we're charging for other devices. It's still lightning but it does come with an 18 watt charger in the box. That new extra level of zoom out wide angle can be used for photos or video and there's a feature coming out in the fall that's going to fuse all of these photos into a combination that will pull out detail and HDR to try to maximize the photo quality truck to see how that works.īut also these have better battery life for four hours longer for the Pro.įive hours longer than the Xs max for the iPhone 11 Pro max sounds like a mouthful for that one. They also have an array of three cameras.ġ2 megapixel with an option to zoom out a total of 4x depending on if you're going super wide or going in a 2x optical zoom. Superbright and XDR that are more pixel dense and brighter. The difference here with the iPhone, the pro models is that they have nicer finishes, stainless steel glass. The iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are really the replacements To the iPhone 10S and 10S max.īut the idea maybe in giving it the pro name is that that price may not necessarily be for you which is okay in which case you get the iPhone 11 which is the to the iPhone 10R. Well, Apple made it a little bit simpler this year, by breaking it into two different categories, so to speak. Apple's got three new iPhones right now, so which one do you get, and what do you do?

![]() Benefits of Oatmealĭid you know that oats have a bunch of healthy nutrients too? That’s why oatmeal treats for dogs are a great thing to make for them! Since they have lots of potassium, they help your dog’s body regular fluid balance and keep their blood pressure at a healthy level. Sweet potatoes are also really good for your dog’s blood pressure.

My favorite thing about them is that they are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. These are the best dog treats because of the nutrient-dense sweet potatoes. First, here’s more about the ingredients and why I chose to use them. The crunchy homemade dog treats recipe is just a little further below.

It makes the difference between crumbles in your pocket and nice discrete little treats. The only one of these weird ingredients I’m attached to is the tapioca flour. I think it’s the canned pumpkin (which itself is hard to get in many places). I am starting to suspect that the problem isn’t the peanut butter anyway. So I’ll keep trying to get another peanut-based recipe that dumps out of the pan nicely. The peanut butter powder is available and not too expensive here in the U.S., but I’ve been told that is not the case elsewhere. I am honored to be writing to an international audience here, and I promise I am not deliberately trying to use obscure ingredients.

This is about a half of a pan’s worth, i.e., a quarter of the recipe It’s generally lower fat than the recipes with real peanut butter, too. Several people suggested using peanut butter powder instead of regular peanut butter to un-sticky the recipe. I meant using the pan is fun, but the original idea was to save time by avoiding cutting things up. So far they have all stuck a bit. On one of them I actually had to push the treats out individually (500+ of them) which pretty much defeated the purpose of using the pan. It seems that you need to have enough binding ingredients in these recipes or things get…sticky.Įver since then I have been trying on and off to develop a recipe for peanut butter dog treats for the silicone pan. You can check out that chicken-based recipe and some details about the pan in this post. I had no idea how lucky I was that I hit on a recipe that worked so well the first time. I posted in January about making hundreds of small treats at a time in a silicone pan. Posted on MaAugby Eileen Anderson Sorry I’m not filling my pans as neatly as I did before! That part got old.

The Braza Flash Tape is a go-to for wardrobe stylist Taylor Greeley. I've given these to friends and they all love them - awesome to have "just in case".” I keep one in my handbag, one in my car and one in my luggage - I won't be without them. Helpful Review: “I carry these around with me everywhere! I work in the retail industry and have to do audits of my team, and they are perfect for little emergencies like lost buttons, slipping bra straps, ripped hems, blouse gaps, holding down collars that curl, and I've even used them on those annoying sandal straps that keep slipping down your heel every five steps. This order comes with three cute, portable tins, each containing 36 pre-cut strips. I suggest keeping some in your smaller handbags.” It even holds up after a common fashion tape mistake: If you forget to take the tape off before tossing clothing in the wash, it won't melt into your clothes.

Now, it’s time to shop for fashion's best-kept styling secret. There are even waterproof fashion tapes that are made specifically for securing bathing suits straps. Gisondi-Little tells Bustle that fashion tape works best on “lighter weight fabrics made of cotton (poplin, especially), silk, and rayon,” adding, “If a fabric has a ‘drier’ feel like these do, it will adhere best.” Some fashion tapes are strong enough to hold heavier fabrics like denim or wool, and work well on fabric-to-fabric fixes like hems. According to Gisondi-Little, either type of fashion tape is ideal for securing low necklines or gapes, like “button down tops across the bust line,” as well as “holding straps in place, particularly tanks in slippery fabrics that tend to slide more easily, along with bra straps to the top itself.”īefore you buy fashion tape, also consider the fabric that will likely require mending. Others come in spool dispensers that allow you to cut as much or as little tape as you need, which is ideal for securing larger swaths of fabric. Most fashion tapes are designed in double-sided, pre-cut, single-use strips. That said, understanding how and where you can use fashion tape to address common clothing issues is key - so we tapped personal stylist Stephanie Gisondi-Little of ComposedCo and wardrobe stylist Taylor Greeley for their expert advice. Double-sided and skin-friendly, this stylist-recommended tool is simple to use and can work on various fabrics without damaging the material. If you need to patch up a loose hem, secure a bra strap, or fasten a button gap but lack sewing skills or time, the best fashion tape can come to your rescue. ![]() If you must lift a load that is unbalanced, always make sure that the heaviest end is against the heel of the forks.Īlways check the condition of the pallet before lifting it.

That is quicker for me than ripping it and then encoding to a super high quality remux myself even on the Threadripper because I would do a 2 pass and such. If you've been wanting to rip your 4k discs, but didn't want to deal with. This also greatly improves the read rate of the discs for ripping. Essentially, if you have a BDXL capable drive, it will not break the encryption on the disc, but just literally skip the engagement of it entirely. I can download a 35 to 58 GB file already the way I would want it and it will be seen by plex and ready to go in about 15 to 25 minutes. So the new version of MakeMKV now supports LibreDrive. Just simply asking is there any reason the quality would be worse. Discussion of LibreDrive mode, compatible drives and firmwares. Or for that matter just I could just download the disc and then do the encoding however I wanted to keep it. bonner artist LibreDrive RedFox Forum - AnyDVD LibreDrive mode for this drive. Update: Starting from version 1.14.0 MakeMKV can read UHD discs using any BDXL-compatible LibreDrive. I know this drive is libredrive compatible with a downgrade per the.

In 2020, she posted a slew of anti-trans tweets, which she followed up with an essay published on her website. Rowling has repeatedly expressed anti-trans sentiments. Rowling’s anti-trans views continues to swirl. Mentioning Newt Scamander's name is one thing, but with the Wizarding World franchise moving forward, it may be best to leave the non-canon aspects in the dust.As Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore hits theaters, the controversy over Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts creator J.K. However, given the franchise's overall failures, it would be wise for the HBO series not to directly link to the prequel movies by bringing in characters that aren't related to Harry Potter. Perhaps actor Jude Law could be cast to play a younger Dumbledore, and a few episodes could be dedicated to elaborating on the character's past in a way that can wrap up Fantastic Beasts. This way, the Harry Potter remake can bring a satisfying close to the Fantastic Beasts story. Some long-debated mysteries, such as the true power of the Deathly Hallows, can be laid to rest, and the stories of characters like Dumbledore can be seen in more detail through flashbacks. However, if done carefully, there are several ways that Harry's story can be improved with a little extra information. The idea of this is enough to give fans pause since trying to jam in too many non-canon details into the wizarding world is precisely why Fantastic Beasts rubbed audiences the wrong way. Though HBO has promised a book-faithful TV adaptation of the Harry Potter books, the series will likely expand on Harry's story. So, even though the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies failed to bring the details of Dumbledore's past to the screen, the TV remake can finally make it right. However, this isn't too bad of news for Dumbledore since the best part of his Fantastic Beasts storyline could be included in what HBO is calling a "faithful" adaptation of the beloved book series. Still, three films in, and the franchise has yet to satisfy the character's tale.įantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore failed at the box office, and the news that the Wizarding World franchise is starting a new project with the HBO Harry Potter remake series seems to indicate that there will not be a Fantastic Beasts 4. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, this wasn't translated to the Harry Potter movies, so Fantastic Beasts took up Dumbledore's backstory.

Proper diagnosis and repair are necessary to ensure compliance with emission regulations and to prevent further environmental impact. This can be due to various factors, such as a malfunctioning catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, or exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Failed Emission Tests: If your vehicle fails an emission test, it means that it is not meeting the required emission standards.Addressing these issues promptly can help maintain smooth and consistent engine performance. This can be caused by problems with the fuel system, ignition system, or engine sensors. Erratic Engine Performance: When your engine operates erratically, with surges or fluctuations in power output, it may be a sign of an underlying issue.Timely repair is crucial to ensure environmental compliance and proper engine performance. This can be caused by issues such as a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, or evaporative emission control system. Impaired Emission Control: If your vehicle fails to meet emission standards or emits excessive smoke from the exhaust, it indicates a problem with the emission control system.Issues such as a clogged fuel line, worn-out transmission components, or a malfunctioning throttle body can all contribute to reduced vehicle speed and compromised performance. Reduced Vehicle Speed: When you notice a significant decrease in your vehicle’s speed, it may be due to a problem with the fuel system, transmission, or engine.Ignoring these noises may lead to more severe engine damage and costly repairs.
