Pixel 3 project cars 211/14/2023 ![]() Samsung has hardware issues over time the same as the rest, heck it was only 5 years ago their premium model had quality issues so bad they had 2 rounds of recalls and cancelled the model completely. Of course it's frustrating dealing with the limitations of the OS and man would I love to sideload some of the great applications they have on Android, but the reliability and support are just unparalleled, not to mention iOS just kind of gets a lot of basic things right which makes it a much more enjoyable experience without tinkering. That said, the iPhone 4s I owned and the iPhone Xs Max I currently own are the two best phones I've owned and it's really not close. Samsung's hardware (with uh, one Note-able exception) has been solid and while it didn't get the same updates and of course had all the nonsense that Samsung added on top of the base android experience, was much better than any other Android device I've owned. I've already sworn off getting another device from Google and this just reinforces this point. It kind of sucks to see that this is still an ongoing issue on their newer and (much) more expensive phones. It was a a couple weeks out of warranty but they were nice enough to send me another one (with a charge hold) that almost immediately became a brick as well with the same issue and that one they would not replace. I really loved my nexus 5 phone from Google until it got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't charge. Just reaching a human at google who can help is like getting blood from a stone. Dell used to have an excellent service program, but those days have long passed. But good luck getting this sort of service out of Google or Dell or HP or something. I think it makes sense for this work to be free, because these were all design problems. (I think the only original part is the backplate). They have basically replaced the entire computer at this point. But, despite all these problems showing up outside the warranty period, the repair work was all done for free. This machine is the worst apple product I've ever owned. So it went back in for a motherboard replacement. And when I got the machine back from being serviced, it started crashing due to a RAM issue. The tech broke another key on the keyboard while they were fixing the first one, so they ended up replacing the whole keyboard & trackpad. They offered a free battery replacement while they fixed the keyboard (since battery life was dropping faster than it should). Since owning my 2016 macbook, the screen died due to the flex cable issue (while travelling - which was super annoying). For all the problems I've had with apple products, knowing I can call or visit apple to get the problems fixed is fantastic. Heavily considering a Linux phone easier to DIY repair. I'm looking for the next smartphone to be modular. I think it would be best to avoid Android OS updates as much as possible as well. I'm wary of purchasing the Pixel 3a, 4, or 5 since I don't want to be burned a 3rd time by specifically Google-designed phones. I suspect it's because they were co-designed/manufactured by LG.Īs time goes on, I use my phone less, not more, and I haven't dropped Pixel phones, unlike the Nexus ones. Nexus 5X: Infinite boot loop issue, contacted Google and replaced it using warranty Bluetooth connection with car always skips/stutters during Maps usage even though iPhones and other Android devices work fine. USB port works for charging, but when connected to a computer, port connects and disconnects in an infinite loop. ![]() ![]() Pixel 3: Past few months, volume buttons and power buttons gradually stopped working. Especially with the Pixel lineup, there is a historical quality control issue with Google's phones that I'm worried hasn't been solved yet. ![]()

Jvm vs java compiler11/13/2023 ![]() ![]() I came to know that jvm is not a program it is just doccumentation containing specifications on what should be the format of exe etc.jre is responsible for the execution of java program. If JVM is platform independent then why JVM is different for Windows and Linux? Also all certificates used by Java are stored in keystore which exists inside JRE folder.Ĭan we run Java program without JRE? does JRE only contains java or javaw command or something else ? It's completely free and you just need a Udemy account to join this online course.Īnother differnce over JDK vs JRE is that when you install JDK in your machine, JRE comes automatically and you can check this by going to your JAVA_HOME or Java installation directory. If you are new to the Java world and looking for a free online training course to learn Java then you can also check out these free Java Programming courses on Udemy.

Java Virtual machine is at the heart of Java programming language and provides several features to Java programmers including Memory Management and Garbage Collection, Security, and other system-level services. JVM is responsible for converting byte code into machine-specific code and that's why you have different JVM for Windows, Linux, or Solaris but one JAR can run on all this operating system. Java Virtual Machine is get created when you run a java program using java commands like java HelloWorld.

Gimp logo11/13/2023 ![]() ![]() These layers are used to create the edge lighting for the text. Step 5 ¶ĭuplicate the blurred layer once (tmp1 and tmp2). You will need to make sure that the layer boundary is larger than the layer so that the blur can spread nicely. When I did the original logo, it was set lower than this to make the effect less rounded. I used Gaussian Blur ( RLE) at 10 pixels. Step 4 ¶ĭuplicate the text layer again and move it to the top of the Layers stack (use the little up facing arrow head on the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog). means “Keep Transparency” this will ensure that any transformations or fills made to that layer will only affect the non-transparent part of the image. You can do this easily by dragging the white color swatch from the toolbox over to the image (assuming that the highlight layer is currently selected). ![]() box on the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog, and fill it with white. The highlight layer needs to be white, so select that layer, check the Keep Trans. One for the highlight effect (highlight) and one for the shaded part of the effect (lowlight). Step 3 ¶ĭuplicate the text layer (text) twice. Do so by accessing the Layers menu (right click or Control+Click on the layer you wish to operate on) and select Layer to Imagesize. It will help to change the layer size to that of the image. If you use GIMP FreeType then it is done for you, otherwise click the New Layer button in the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog (looks like a blank piece of paper). The text should be created as a new layer. Start by laying down some text that is wider than 400px and not too thin. I feel this size it adequate as my website at the time of writing uses 500px tables. I used a white background at 500px by 200px. I’ve taken a lot of screen shots to support this tutorial, so enjoy :) Step 1 ¶įire up GIMP and create a new image. I’ll point out the differences as I go along. This is the same procedure I used to create the logo on my homepage, albeit with slightly different settings. The more experienced user may find some techniques here useful. This tutorial is aimed squarely at the novice GIMP user. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, drop them comments section below.Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Mel Boyce and may not be used without permission of the author. If these steps were a bit too general for you to follow along with then I would recommend watching the video tutorial where I go over everything step-by-step with voice narration. You can use the white circle at the very bottom layer as a reference point for doing this.įinally, we’ll grab our Text tool and simply add some text on its own layer using the Mattilda font, and with that your logo is complete. Next, duplicate your tab layer, flip it vertically, then merge it with the original layer and delete the portion of the tabs that protrude past outside of the circle. After that you can turn the visibility of the other layers back on. Use the Paintbrush tool to add a white star on top of the black tab, then merge all of the visible layers and change the new layer’s size to fit the image. Now duplicate the tab, scale it up a little bit, fill it with white and lower beneath the gray tab layer. Use that newly rotated rectangle as a reference point to delete the bottom portion of the gray rectangle, leaving us with the following tab shape… Use the Rectangle tool to create a perfectly symmetrical white square on a new layer, rotate it 45 degrees, set the opacity of the layer to 50% and center it vertically towards the bottom of the gray rectangle, as depicted below. Autocrop the layer, then align it to the center of the canvas vertically. Now we’re going to add a couple of tabs on both the top and bottom, so turn off the visibility of all layers and create a new layer (that is visible) and create a rectangle selection at the top of the canvas, then fill it in with 1A1A1A. Again, we’ll create another layer and another slightly smaller circle, only instead of filling it with a color we’ll add a 25 pixel stroke in white. ![]() Coffee expresso 200x20011/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than the Cafflano Kompresso, but I think it’s worth it. You can learn more about this device by checking out my YouTube channel. In fact, it’s my current favorite among all the travel espresso makers, I have tried. However, the espresso it produces is better than most devices in this price range. It means that you can make a very decent double shot. The basket is a legit, non-pressurized version that can hold up to 18 grams of ground coffee. It’s way superior compared to the Nanopresso, which I have previously reviewed. The Picopresso is the newest gadget from the brand. The Picopresso is a tiny, handheld espresso maker made by the innovative coffee brand, Wacaco. ![]() ![]() Wacaco Picopresso (Travel Espresso Maker) And let’s not forget about the glowing reviews from a vast majority of its happy owners.Ĥ. This particular model we’re looking at today is not only wallet-friendly, but it also boasts a stylish appearance that will elevate your kitchen’s aesthetic. Not only do you avoid the hassle of investing in a top-notch grinder, playing around with the settings, sourcing fresh beans, and perfecting your brew technique, but you can also achieve consistent results with just a push of a button. ![]() Now, if you’re not one for the whole “home barista baptism of fire” situation, a capsule machine is an acceptable choice. Since Nestlé’s patent expired in 2011, some fantastic coffee roasters have jumped on board, crafting capsules that can rival the quality of a freshly brewed cup. Sure, some coffee purists might turn their noses up at the thought of pre-packaged coffee pods, but hear me out. Let’s talk about the convenience factor of Nespresso capsules. While I may not get a caffeine-fueled rush from suggesting a Nespresso machine, I must admit it’s an option that shouldn’t be dismissed, especially when your wallet is feeling a bit light. See more reviewsģ: Nespresso Vertuo Breville Espresso Machine (Capsule) There’s even a big community of Flair fans who share recipes and tips online.Ĭheck out my review for more information. However, with the right grinder and skill level, the Flair Espresso Maker punches above its weight. If you only have a blade-grinder (or similar), then the cheaper Flair Neo is the better option. So you will have to buy a separate device for that (or froth it in a French press, which some people do).Īnother downside is that the workflow can be a bit complicated at first and that you need a decent grinder to be able to get the best out of the device. The downside is that you don’t get any milk steaming with this espresso maker. There are also other good things to say about the Flair: It’s very sturdy, since it doesn’t rely on any electrical components, and it’s also portable! This allows you to slightly tweak the pressure profile, resulting in better espresso if you know what you’re doing.įor that reason, I think it’s fair to say that you get the best espresso shot under $200 with the Flair Classic. This device uses a hand-pulled lever instead of a mechanic pump to create the pressure. The Flair Classic makes excellent espresso. Manual, non-electric, produces delicious espresso with crema, portable, affordable, but not ideal for milk-based drinksġ: Flair Classic Espresso Maker, Best Value (Manual) Portable, tiny, produces excellent espresso with legit crema, holds up to 18 grams of ground coffee Semi-automatic, excellent price-to-quality ratio, lets you brew any espresso-based drink imaginable, compatible with ESE podsĬapsule-based, hassle-free, consistent results, stylish appearance, affordable Hand-pulled lever, allows tweaking of pressure profile, sturdy, portable ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
