The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 comes with a plastic lens hood that mounts on the front hood bayonet. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 isn’t super small, but it handles well The lens has only one control: a broad rubberized focus ring that spins smoothly, though without much damping. The lens is a bit longer than the average normal prime lens, and is similar in overall size to the Sony Zeiss FE 55mm f/1.8. ![]() There is no flimsiness whatsoever, and the whole package feels great. It’s built of a mix of metals and high quality plastics that are very tightly assembled. Construction and Handlingĭespite the Contemporary badge that signals Sigma’s consumer line of lenses, the 30mm f/1.4 is a very solidly constructed lens. I review products on how they act for me as a photographic tool. There are plenty of other sites that cover those. You won’t find lens charts or resolution numbers here. If you’re not familiar with my reviews, I review from a real world shooting perspective. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN is one of the fastest AF lenses for Sony E-Mount I’ve been shooting with the 30mm f/1.4 for Sony E-mount for the past week, so let’s find out. Does this signal lower performance, or will this fast lens become the go-to normal prime for Sony APS-C and Micro 4/3 shooters. In an odd twist, the 30mm f/1.4 is from Sigma’s lower cost ‘Contemporary’ line of lenses, rather than the higher end ‘Art’ line a line that the cheaper f/2.8 optics were part of. Now, Sigma has released a fast lens to complement those f/2.8 optics with the new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN. ![]() ![]() The Sigma 19mm f/2.8, 30mm f/2.8 and 60mm f/2.8 are still among the very best values in the mirrorless world, providing very high quality optics at a fraction of the price of most lenses.

This wasn’t the first time this happened, but it was a reminder that I needed a better email client. Bad tools are a drain on our time and energy.Ī few weeks ago I ran into an issue with Apple Mail’s built-in search, forcing me to manually dig for an email I knew was there. ![]() Good tools let us accomplish tasks with less effort and frustration. Good tools help us organize, process, and retrieve information. Now that digital communication is primary, the quality of our digital tools makes a big difference in our work. It’s usually harmless, and I’ve used it for years without giving it much thought. There’s a few categories of productivity apps I want to look at, but first we have to start with a solid foundation: Good old-fashioned email.Īpple’s Mail app is the email client included with every Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I’ve tried a few in the past, but I inevitably circled back to Apple’s defaults. They’re good for the basics, but a lot of better third-party options exist. This has made organization, workflow, and the features of the apps I use more important.Īpple’s Mail, Calendar, and Reminders apps are mediocre. I also rely on ticketing software, shared documents, and an ever-growing number of online services. ![]() Like most people I’m working remotely, spending hours each day in email, text, and video chats. Recently the pace of my work has picked up, and efficient productivity has become more important. Apple Productivity App Review: Email Documenting My Decent Into ̶M̶a̶d̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ the World of Productivity Apps ![]() In addition to the domains, Hotspot Shield also creates a hash based on your device attributes and uses that to measure bandwidth use, provide support, analytics, and so on. ![]() “We do not know which user accessed which domain…We do this to monitor, support and optimize our VPN services,” according to the Pango VPN privacy policy. AnchorFree says these domain visits are never connected to your account and cannot be tied to you. Not the specific URLs, mind you, just the domains. ![]() Pango does not collect device information (though it does this for other products), but it still collects the domains you visit. The privacy policy has improved, but it’s still not as good as other services. There are no options for cryptocurrencies or cash. Payments are also standard, as before, requiring a credit or debit card, or PayPal. That’s not terrible and fairly standard for VPNs. Hotspot Shield still requires an email address and password to sign up. The CEO is Sujay Jaswa and the COO is Tony Huie. Regardless, Hotspot Shield is still fast enough to remain our pick for fastest VPN speed, with other well-known VPN services such as ExpressVPN and Mullvad coming in way behind.Īs usual, remember that speed tests can vary quite a lot, and your mileage may vary depending on your ISP’s speeds, router, PC, and other equipment.Īs with former Hotspot Shield owner AnchorFree, Pango’s headquarters are in Redwood City, California. That’s much faster than the 64 percent we saw last time, but there was one day with an unusually high result that may have skewed the results. In our tests, the VPN retained more than 72 percent of the base download speed, averaged over three days of testing. Just like last time around, Hotspot Shield is fast. ![]() Hotspot Shield allows up to five simultaneous connections per account. There’s also a two-year plan at $167.76 and a month-to-month plant at $13. Last time we looked it was $72 per year, which was already high, but now it’s pushing close to $100 per year, at $95.88. Hotspot Shield is a lot more expensive than it was. Finally, there’s a new peak-speed tile showing exactly that. The data tile shows how much data is going up and down, and now displays that on a graph. The server information tile, for example, shows your IP address, the load of the server (as a percentage), and the current latency. The app displays small informational tiles that show your VPN location, the VPN IP address you’re using, and the amount of bandwidth you’ve used going up and down, plus the name of the local network you’re currently on. Once you’ve got the VPN up and running the display is very similar to what we saw before, just in a more compressed format. That’s great news for travelers or people who often watch Netflix on public Wi-Fi hotspots. As with last time, I could get Hotspot Shield to work with Netflix (allowing me to view overseas Netflix catalogs), and Hotspot Shield says support for U.S. There’s also a “web domain bypass,” which lets you visit some websites outside of the VPN connection. This feature stops all web traffic if the VPN connection crashes until you reconnect to the VPN. There’s now an internet kill switch, which we didn’t see last time around. The Help section also has quick links to real-time chat support, and trouble ticketing for premium users. The primary options users will need on a regular basis include the default Home section, as well as Settings. Click the “hamburger” menu icon to reveal the names of each menu item. On the left side of the app are a number of menu items in a very slim left rail. “World’s fastest browser”: Testing conducted by Apple in August and October 2020 using JetStream 2, MotionMark 1.1, and Speedometer 2.0 performance benchmarks on browsers that completed the test.Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.

You have an odd number of, you have an odd number of What if I tell you thatĪ is less than zero, and b is also less than zero, and if I had a to the 101 power, divided by b to the seventh power, what would this expression be? Would it be positive or negative? Or zero, maybe? Well you see here, a to the 101st power. If we knew what a was, weĬould calculate it somehow, but we know that this thing You have an odd number, an odd number of negatives being multiplied together? Well this whole then is going, this whole thing is going ![]() What is this going to be? Well this is taking 101 A'sĪnd multiplying them together. I would have a to the, let me throw out a wild number here, A to the 101st power, And we know that a is less than zero. Knowledge to start dealing with negative numbers and exponents. You have one negative inĮither of these cases, so it's going to be thisĬase, odd number of negatives. These as generalizations of what we just saw here. If you have an even, if you have an even number of negative, well then the whole thing is going to be, the whole thing is going to be positive. Of negative numbers in your product or in your quotient, well then you're going to have a negative, you're going to have a negative value for the entire expression.

These numbers were negative? Let's think about it, if negative, negative, negative, negative. What if I had four numbers here? What if I had times, What if I had times d here? And if I told you all of But let's keep on doing, we said, look if all of them are negative, then this thing would be negative, but that's because I And then a negative times a positive, different signs, is going If I said, "There's other ways "that I can make the product negative." If a is, let's say that a, actually let me just write it this way. This whole thing is going to be negative.

So a negative times a negative, a times b, if you do that first, and we can when we multiply these numbers. What is this product going to be equal to? Well you're going to have a Let me actually write, let me write, a, b, and c, a, b, and c, they're all What if a, b, and c were all negative? Well if there were all negative, If I were to tell you that they were all negative numbers. Times b times c is going "to be positive." "A times b would be positive,Īnd that times c is positive."

And here I wrote it for multiplication, but it also applies to division. Negative times a positive, that also would give So if you have a positive times a negative that would give you a negative number.

Inrix says the company uses anonymous data from smart phones and GPS devices in cars, trucks and other vehicles, as well as data from other sources, to measure the congestion status of every segment of road for every minute of the day. Don had described the earlier gridlock with the Route 78 shut down in both directions, but now we hear the traffic roaring far overhead, so we figure. In Miami, the amount of time drivers lost to congestion last year soared 30 percent from 2019 levels, while Chicago's time lost is 7 percent higher than in 2019. cities in the top 20 where congestion is worse than it was before the pandemic. Interestingly, Chicago and Miami are the only U.S. Paris ranked third, with drivers there losing an average of 138 hours to congestion. Chaos is expected on the roads, with the RAC warning traffic will be busier this bank holiday than it will be for King Charles’s upcoming Coronation weekend. Globally, only London had worse congestion than Chicago in 2022, with drivers there wasting an average of 156 hours in traffic congestion for the year.

Additionally, the worst traffic times in Chicago occur on Fridays between 4 p.m. "However, we have yet to fully rebound to pre-pandemic levels, and while we do anticipate a gradual increase over the coming years, we may see a small decline in 2023 should a global recession strongly take hold." Chicago drivers suffered the worst congestion among U.S. President Barack Obama is hosting more than 50 world leaders for a summit in Washington next week, a high-profile event that is set to disrupt traffic, parking and.

Advertisement Watch for temporary daytime lane closings throughout the project’s work zone from 7 a.m. "2022 was shaping up to be a year of re-emergence and a return to a new, post-pandemic behavioral norm, but that halted with the rise in oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and inflation," said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX. Third Street traffic heading for the I-395 ramp also is unaffected by the new phase. The Inrix report said the lessening traffic congestion patterns resulted from higher gasoline prices and the shift to hybrid work, with many office workers continuing to telecommute and work remotely at least some of the time. ![]() There is an internal filter that should be changed or cleaned when you change the fluid. Without these items, the fluid change will be more involved and certainly messier. Some vehicles have a drain plug and a screw-in external transmission filter which makes the job much easier. The only proper way to accomplish this change is to drop the transmission pan unless you are lucky enough to have a screw-in drain plug. There is old fluid in the transmission that the machine will not access that will mix with the new fluid added. Some shops will suck the fluid out of the transmission with a machine and then simply refill it. There may be a difference in the pricing of fluid changes, and this can be due to the method used. It is worth the cost to change transmission fluid and possibly save your transmission. You can find transmission service at most oil change facilities and there are many shops that specialize in this. Factors That Affect The Cost Of A Transmission Fluid Change Walmart car centers don’t offer a complete service of transmission fluid change, you can only buy the necessary parts and oil, and depending on the amount of oil it will cost you from $60 – $100. This depends on the quarts of fluid and whether the filter needs to be replaced. The typical transmission fluid change at Valvoline costs between $119.00 and $179.00. Automatic Transmission Drain & Fill – $55.99 (oil not included) Valvoline transmission fluid change price.T-TECH Combo (new filter included) – $160.00.T-TECH transmission service(full synthetic fluid included) – $145.00.Automatic transmission fluid exchange $135.99.Jiffy Lube transmission fluid change cost This includes a new filter, which costs about $20 to $30, and 5 to 15 quarts of fluid. Transmission Fluid Change CostĪ typical cost of transmission fluid change range between $85 and $200. If your transmission has been shifting hard or slipping between shifts you might be able to save the high cost of a rebuild by changing the fluid. If you see more brown than red color and smell any burnt fluid it is important to change the fluid right away. You can also smell the fluid for traces of a burnt odor. You should wipe a bit on a white paper towel and check the color which should be a clear red. One way to assess the fluid is to carefully pull the dipstick while the car is running, wipe and reinsert, then pull to check the fluid level. It should be changed on an interval as recommended in your manual, but at least every 30,000 miles. The fluid is a lubricant and cooling aide to the many complicated clutches and gears of a transmission. Just as your engine cannot run without oil, the transmission will not work without fluid. Have you given any thought to changing the automatic transmission fluid? This lubricant works very hard and is subjected to lots of heat and pressure every time you drive. Transmission fluid change is as important as changing motor oil. Most people follow a schedule to get this done or do it themselves every few months. You probably change the oil in your car or truck regularly. ![]() I know it’s possible to be distracted by notifications when using an iPad, but in general, having just the one app up at a time and making it fill the screen with no sidebar in Ulysses keeps my brain in one place.Īnother reason Ulysses is perfect for my blog post writing is that it supports the beloved TextExpander.
