I personally wish i would have saved my money and ill be using a tightspot this fall for sure.We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. I just thought i would post my thoughts on this quiver. I also took a few photos of both which i will post. I think rage had a good idea trying to copy the tightspot and make many of the same features but the quiver itself is no where near the quality of any quiver that should be priced as high as it is. IMHO i would rather spend my money on a tightspot or even a cheaper alpine quiver instead for i feel even the cheap alpine softloc is a better built quiver. I will say one positive thing is that the hood of this quiver does look and feel pretty cool but it is a little shiny. That is not nearly beefy enough IMHO especially with what seems to be a soft zinc metal material. I took the screw to find out that there are only 3 threads holding the lockdown on the rods. Upon doing this i found that the lock down portion that snugs the quiver bracket to the rods was either almost stripped or completely stripped out. I looked it over closer and everything is held together with screws so i took some small allen wrenches and made sure everthing was tight. Once mounted i shot the quiver with it on and it made a lot of noise. If i added the spacers it would clear but say a long ways away from the bow and i found with my tightspot with the infinite adjustability that 1/4" closer or farther from the bow can make a huge difference. I moved the quiver to the most forward holes and there the rod cleared my rest without the spacers but my first arrow would not clear. The slightest tipped hole for the mounting bracket makes it tip forward way way too far. I also found that the adjustments for tilting the quiver where not nearly as fine as i would expect. Upon mounting the quiver to my bow i noticed that it did not fit as close as i once expected. I also thought that the ghost quiver would have carbon rods much like my tightspot but i scratched the rod a touch and it is more of a plastic material. I could see this being a problem if one would go from a larger arrow like a goldtip to something like an easton axis. The next thing i noticed about the quiver is the rubber arrow grippers are made out of a fairly soft rubber. 1 oz increments but the tightspot was teatering between 11.0 and 11.1 so im considering it 11.05oz. I weighed both my tightspot(newest model) and the ghost and the tightspot was 11.05oz. The metal parts of the quiver are unfinished and they appear to be made of molded zinc. Once I had one in my hands though my view on it started to deteriorate. When i first saw it the quiver looked really cool. I just got my Ghost quiver in and decided to try it against my Tightspot quiver. ![]()

On the other hand, staying longer in a level gives you more time to grind out extra character levels and scour the map for every upgrade, buffing your character substantially so you’re ready to face the hefty challenges to come. On one hand, it’s in your best interest to get to the later levels-which are inherently more difficult-before you let the timer run on too long and see the difficulty level inflated to ridiculous heights. See, every fifteen minutes, the overall difficulty will ratchet up another notch, but every passing minute sees minuscule adjustments to enemy health and damage output. The game’s title, however, comes from a fascinating flexible difficulty system that encourages you to push the limits of each level, while punishing you for doing so too much. Along the way, myriad enemies will spawn at random and attack you with everything they’ve got, but if you can overcome them, you’ll be rewarded with XP to raise your character’s level and Gold to buy upgrades from various chests scattered at random across the map. You start out each level by crashing down onto the map in an escape pod, and your goal is to find the next teleporter as quickly as possible so you can progress to the next level. Luckily, it’s a minor and mostly inconsequential omission, but for those of you that pay plenty of attention to detail and appreciate this kind of storytelling in a game, be aware that it’s still being made.Īs for the core gameplay, Risk of Rain 2 does a remarkable job of feeling almost exactly like its predecessor, right down to many of the same upgrades, characters, and enemies making a return appearance. Many of the logbook entries are missing and instead contain a boilerplate in-universe ‘coming soon’ message to lampshade the fact that the developers haven’t yet gotten around to those details. Though these are mostly well-written from the start, this is also where the ‘early access’ nature of Risk of Rain 2 is seen most clearly. The logbooks are where most of this story comes in, dripping you tidbits of info and hints of greater lore in item and enemy descriptions. ![]() Any semblance of a narrative won’t be found in the main game mode, however, as there your first and only concern is shooting everything that moves and madly collecting as many power up chests as you can find. The story of Risk of Rain 2 is about as basic as it gets, simply following the exploits of a ragtag group of misfits as they attempt to escape from an alien planet. Fortunately, the team opted instead to push itself, producing a sequel that manages to make the jump from 2D to 3D flawlessly, while also adding in some cool new features in the transition. ![]() After Risk of Rain-a 2D action roguelike-saw a successful release in 2013, it would’ve been easy for Hopoo Games to have gone the ‘safe’ route with the sequel and simply offered fans more of the same when Risk of Rain 2 came about. Even the series’ that most consider a success-such as the Super Mario games-can struggle with it Super Mario 64 was a fantastic entry, but it could be argued that the true gameplay of the 2D games didn’t show up in 3D form until 2011’s Super Mario 3D Land. Many franchises-such as the Sonic the Hedgehog and Castlevania series’-arguably fail to make the leap gracefully, stumbling to nail down what it is that made the originals special. It’s always fascinating when a 2D game series makes the jump to the third dimension, as the developers are given the impossible task of keeping the gameplay more or less the same while also instituting huge change. While we unfortunately cannot revisit games on an individual basis, it should be noted that the full, updated game may have addressed issues detailed below and offer an improved experience. Since this review was originally published, Risk of Rain 2 has left early access. ![]() ![]() It’s one thing to ship the logs into the stack. Configuring the various integrations and pipelines in Logstash can be complicated and extremely frustrating, and configuration errors can bring down your entire logging pipeline. Most likely, you will be pulling data from multiple and distributed sources. The logs could be coming in from a local instance, AWS, Docker or Kubernetes. You could be ingesting database logs, web server logs, or application logs. This pipeline will greatly depend on the type of logs you want to ingest, the volume of log data, and the type of data source from which you are pulling the logs. Once you’ve troubleshooted those issues, you need to establish a pipeline into the stack. (For more, see my prior post on troubleshooting five common ELK Stack glitches.) ![]() Kibana not connecting with Elasticsearch, Kibana not being able to fetch mapping, and Logstash not running or not shipping data are all-too-frequent occurrences. ![]() Depending on whether you decided to install the stack on a local, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure, you may encounter various configuration and networking issues. However, connecting the dots when your logs aren’t showing up is not always error-free. Getting up and running with your first instances of Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beats (usually Filebeat or Metricbeat, or Fluentd for Kubernetes log collection) is pretty straightforward, and there is plenty of documentation available if you encounter issues during installation (see our Elasticsearch tutorial, Logstash tutorial, and Kibana tutorial for help). Also, these recommendations are based on the assertion that you are starting from scratch and require a scalable, highly available, and at least medium-sized ELK deployment. These variables reflect what a production deployment of ELK needs to include based on the extensive experience of both our customers and ourselves while working with ELK. ![]() This article will break down the variables that need to be added into the equation. When contemplating whether to invest the valuable resources at your disposal in doing ELK on your own, you must ask yourself if you have the resources to pull it off. Jumping to the conclusion of this article, it all boils down to time and money. But before you go ahead and install Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and the different Beats, there is one crucial question that you need to answer: Are you going to run the stack on your own, or are you going to opt for a cloud-hosted solution? The platform’s open source foundation, scalability, speed, and high availability, as well as the huge and ever-growing community of users, are all excellent reasons for this decision. The ELK Stack is now the world’s most popular log management platform, with millions of downloads per month. So, you’ve decided to go with ELK to centralize, manage, and analyze your logs. ![]() ![]() ![]() No need to download it to your device, just to purchase it, or 'Get' it if it is free.” If you have not purchased or acquired the app before, the download will fail and iMazing will suggest you get the app from the iOS App Store first.

I know that users sometimes hope they can "copy" an app from one device to another. Even if they disappear from Apple servers. So as far as this app remains compatible with newer versions of iOS, I can always install it again in other devices using my account. ![]() When I purchase an app, the first thing that I always do is to connect the iPad to my MAC, downloading the IPA archive in an external hard disk. So if you want to be 100% sure that in the future you can move your previously purchased apps to new iOS devices, even when they completely disappear from Apple servers, you need to download the IPA to your computer while they still are in the download section. The only way of doing this is if you previously saved this as an IPA file, downloading a backup of the app directly from the Apple servers. If you have this app installed in an iOS device, you can’t extract the app from this device, moving it to a new device. Let’s say that an app completely disappears, from the store and from the list of previously purchased apps. You can make a backup of any app as an IPA archive, and then you can install this on any new iOS device which uses your same Apple account.Įven when these apps completely disappear from the store, it doesn’t matter if they also disappeared from the download section in your purchase history.īut it’s important to note that for doing this, it’s not enough with having a backup of your iOS device. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stop by the library from April 1 - May 12 to browse and borrow. every year, and after they’ve been used for Halloween decorations, pies, and jack-o’-lanterns, millions of them will end up in a landfill. Recycling works when you do it right, McCormick said. Only clean, dry and empty cardboard, paper, bottles and cans.

However, in 1996, the SETI League attempted to have five thousand small microwave telescopes searching for intelligent life, under the name “Project Argus”. Project Argus did not exist at the time of the book's publication.At the time, this was the largest advance ever paid. Sagan received two million dollars as an advance for writing the novel.The heroine of the story, Eleanor Arroway, is named after Eleanor Roosevelt and Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire).Isaac Asimov called Sagan one of the two people smarter than himself.It is not an actual fixed number, nor is it recognized as a form of measurement, but is merely a tribute to Sagan's (as well as those that poked fun at him) use of the number. Speaking of billions and billions, one Sagan is equal to at least four billion.Sagan did, however, end up naming his final book after the phrase. Instead, comedians parodying him would play on his use of his phrase “billions of stars”. The phrase “billions and billions” is often associated with Sagan, but he never actually used it. In addition, Sagan also crafted a message along with Frank Drake, creator of the Drake equation, that was beamed from the Aricebo radio telescope.The plaque contains pictures of a human male and female, and indications of the location of the solar system, as well as the planet Earth, should the plaque ever be able to direct an alien species to us. Sagan was the designer of the first physical message to potentialextraterrestrials: a plaque attached to the Pioneer 10 probe.Sagan attended the University of Chicago throughout his academic studies, from his bachelor's to both his doctorates in astronomy and astrophysics.Sagan has published over 600 scientific papers in his lifetime.Contact (the webpage author, not the Vegans) ![]() ![]() ![]() And for $3,177 total, you can buy the OnePlus Pad ($629), Asus Zenbook 13 OLED ($799) and Alienware Aurora R16 ($1,749) and still have money left over. This device also offers better performance than the Spectre Fold. It can also stand vertically and have its two screens stacked on top of each other. It’s not a foldable, but it can also serve as a laptop or tablet. If you’re looking for an alternative, I suggest the $1,999 Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. Yes, the HP Spectre Fold is unique for what it offers, but it’s not worth $5,000 for most people. However, my enthusiasm for this product is tempered by the steep asking price. In this specific case, getting a laptop that can also serve as a tablet and pseudo-desktop is commendable. HP Spectre Fold review: Verdictĭespite my skepticism toward foldable laptops, the HP Spectre Fold has done the best job of convincing me that these devices aren’t merely gimmicks. Since we consider temperatures over 95 as being uncomfortable, you won’t have to worry about the Spectre Fold scorching your lap. In our standard heat test, which involves running a heat gun over the laptop after streaming 15 minutes of full HD video on a device, we found the underside reached 79 degrees Fahrenheit. HP Spectre Fold review: Audioīattery test results Header Cell - Column 0 If you want to do serious gaming on the Yoga Book 9i, I suggest using a game streaming service like Xbox Game Pass or GeForce Now. As proof, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, which isn’t exactly a graphically demanding game, ran at a choppy 19 frames per second at 1,080p resolution on HP’s laptop. The Spectre Fold has enough power for basic computing, but its integrated GPU isn’t suited for playing most modern video games. That’s much worse than the Zenbook 17 (1,480 MBps) and Yoga Book 9i (1,296 MBps). ![]() Moving over to our SSD test, which tasks a laptop with duplicating 25GB of multimedia files as fast as possible, HP’s 3-in-1 had a transfer rate of up to 1,085 MBps. The Zenbook 17 (14:15) was two minutes faster, but the Yoga Book 9i (9:19) lapped them both by over 5 minutes. In our video editing test, which tasks the laptop with transcoding a 4K video down to 1080p using Handbrake, the Spectre Fold took a glacially slow 16 minutes and 17 seconds. Performance benchmarks Header Cell - Column 0 The Yoga Book 9i, with its 13th Gen i7-1355U processor and 16GB of RAM, scored better on both single and multi-core. Those numbers are lower than the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold, which also features an i7-1250U CPU, 16GB of RAM. On the Geekbench 5 CPU benchmark, the laptop scored 1,649 in the single-core benchmark and 6,460 in the multi-core test. The Spectre Fold performed decently in our lab tests. In short, HP’s machine is adept at everyday computing tasks. Running a YouTube video on top of all that didn’t slow the laptop down either. It all came down to power consumption.ĭespite the older processor, the Spectre Fold had no problems handling my workflow, which typically consists of having over 20 open tabs. ![]() The reason HP opted for this older processor is because the i7-1250U is a 9W chip at base power whereas there is no 9W 13th Gen chip. The Spectre Fold packs a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1250U processor - a strange choice considering 14th Gen Intel Core laptop CPUs will soon be here. ![]() |
