![]() Minimize charge cycles by using your device while charged.While batteries will diminish over time, Apple has several tips which you can use on both your Macbook and iPhone in order to maximize your battery's lifespan. Once I notice that my design capacity isn't as high as it used to be, I'll look into taking the iPhone into the Apple Store and getting the battery (or entire phone) replaced thanks to AppleCare (or your insurance). With coconutBattery, I'll be able to keep track of my iPhone's battery in the following months, checking out the design capacity and charge cycle to make sure that my battery is in tip-top shape. Model, OS version, and manufacture date.Monitor Your Battery's Health with coconutBatteryĬoconutBattery, from developer Chris Sinai, is like a medical chart for your MacBook and iPhone, providing current health information about your battery and more, including: Instead of letting it get to that point, it's a smart idea to keep track of the battery on your MacBook and your iPhone so you know when it's nearing replacement time, rather than when it's too late. Everything from an overload of apps running to excessive use and high temperatures can play a part in speeding up the deterioration of your battery-until one day when it stops working, accepting a charge, or holding juice. Of course, that's under ideal conditions. Thankfully, the advanced lithium-ion batteries in your MacBook and iPhone are meant to last for several years before they begin to lose their overall charge capacity. ![]() Not all batteries are created equal, but one thing's for sure-they all lose capacity over time. Because Sling TV's rewinding and fast-forwarding reminded me how much I want to move on from the past. Even though I've been annoyed by the quality of the app over the years, Fubo lacks TNT and Philo has neither TNT nor USA.īy the end of this, I'll have found the live TV service that replaces cable TV. Oddly enough, AT&T TV has the best chance of competing with YouTube TV or Sling TV. Next up, I'm going to take Philo ($25 per month) for a spin, followed by Fubo TV and the newly re-christened DirecTV Stream (the service fka AT&T TV). However, a year of YouTube TV is $780, which is 85% more than the $420 per year for Sling Blue. If I decide I want the self-titled World Wide Leader in Sports, the bump to $50 per month for Sling Orange + Blue may be a bit too close to YouTube TV's rate.Īs I mentioned above, YouTube TV's superior live TV rewinding and fast forwarding, as well as its lower delay against the live feed of cable, make it my favorite if money were no option. Sling wins on pricing for my particular needs, though time will tell as to if I need ESPN or not. Now having tested three of the best cable TV alternatives, we've got ourselves a competition. Much like Hulu, Sling's leaving a bit to be desired in this area - while YouTube TV lets you just jump right in and scroll around. The big perk here, aside from a slicker interface, was the new DVR section, which made it easier to start a show already in progress from the beginning. (It's also on Fire TV devices, which I do not prefer). Yes, I even tested YouTube TV via the YouTube app on the Roku, since Google and Roku are in a spat at the moment.įor this, that meant a lot because the Roku Ultra is the only device that I'd use that also has the new Sling app. Reader Scott wrote in to ask what device I'm testing these services on, and the answer is simply "every one that I'd actually like to use." As we review and test streaming devices, I've tested these services out on multiple platforms and devices including the Apple TV 4K (2021), Chromecast with Google TV and Roku Ultra (2020). It would just be nice to have it packaged in with everything else. That said, PBS is accessible for donors via the Thirteen Passport. Which is close enough to YouTube TV's $65 per month price that I might pay the extra for the added value of the better app.Īgain, Sling TV takes an L on the Roommates Test, lacking PBS, YES and BBC World News. ![]() And Sling Orange + Blue costs $50 per month. Because in order for me to get USA, FX and NBC, I need Sling Blue. The lack of ESPN in Sling Blue - it's only on Sling Orange - is annoying, and could be the kind of thing that pushes me to actually go to YouTube TV. I don't know if all cable boxes are as bad as my Spectrum box is about this, but I always hated scanning through anything on cable, because it would always drop you down many moments after you click play to stop the rewinding or fast-forwarding. Then, when I was trying to fast-forward around, I noticed that the new Sling app is just as bad as cable TV. And maybe that's good for some live events, but I'm watching TV (mostly) for a narrative, and context is king. ![]() On the Apple TV 4K and on Chromecast, on the old Sling TV app, you don't have the DVR section, which makes it harder to jump to the start of an episode of live TV - it simply tries to throw you into the middle of the episode. The second and third frustrating parts about Sling TV came when I wanted to rewind and fast-forward live content. YouTube TV was also "behind" cable, but by less than half as much time, with a range of a 20 to 30-second delay. ![]() This might not sound like a lot to some, especially if you don't keep up in the live chatter with others, but it's an annoyance for me. ![]() When I got out my stopwatch, I found out that Sling TV was up to 70 seconds behind live TV.

The Verdict: Jackbox Party Pack 8 is a solid pack of games, primarily for Job Job and Drawful Animate. But once it clicks, it can be fun with the right people, especially because the game provides several ways to deduce a murderer through player drawings. Weapons Drawn moves pretty quickly-perhaps too quickly at first, and you'll feel lost the first few times you play. The calling card acts as a clue in two ways: first, the style of drawing can give away who drew it, and second, there might be a letter hidden in the drawing that gives away who drew it. For each murdered guest, players have to guess who did the murdering by using the calling card drawing as a clue. The mechanics come together like so: by guessing which player named a particular guest, you "murder" that guest and leave your drawing as your calling card. ![]() Players also "bring guests" by giving their guest a name. Players are given prompts to draw, but have to incorporate a random letter from their name in drawings (the letter shape is random and provided). Weapons Drawn is a surprisingly complex social deduction game that requires several playthroughs to really understand its complexities. I'll review the games in each pack and explain my thoughts on each one using the following evaluations: When you're just starting out, you'll want to stick to just one or two of them-but which ones?Īs of this writing, there are nine Jackbox Party Packs available. You have to buy them as Jackbox Party Packs.Įvery Jackbox Party Pack contains five Jackbox games, and each pack retails for around $25 a pop. This is a shame because, for the most part, Jackbox games can't be bought a la carte. The best Jackbox games have incredible replayability that can keep you entertained for hours, but some are terribly dull and others may only be fun a few times before they lose their luster. If you've played party games like Balderdash or Wavelength, you'll feel right at home!Įvery Jackbox game is different, but the driving element behind the entire franchise is a heavy emphasis on party play: games that are simple, creative, and downright hilarious with the right people. Most Jackbox games involve typing answers or drawing images on your device, and the results of the game are shown on the TV. Related: How to Play Jackbox Games Remotely: A Step-by-Step Guide So you have a bunch of players sitting in front of the TV (or computer) and the game plays out on the TV but players are interacting with the game's prompts using their own mobile phones. Everyone else then joins the game as a player using their mobile phones. The game is hosted on a TV, computer screen, or what have you. Only one person needs to own a particular Jackbox game. Jackbox games are bite-sized party games that usually only take about 15–20 minutes to play, and they're often best for groups of four or more.

You can prevent these guests from adding and removing participants, changing the space name, and editing space settings. One example is to control how people are added as guests to team spaces, they aren't members of that team.

Webex Control Hub is the administrator portal page to configure Webex. Enable Restrictions for Guests in Team Spaces through Webex Control Hub.Overall, this is how you can control who joins your community. Public spaces can be created if you add the EURL bot, which we will discuss later. By default, all spaces are a Private space or an invite-only space.

![]() A flaw with all of the dictionaries I've used so far though is that they don't really help much with slang words. It could just be me, but I've never come across a word that I could find on an electronic dictionary that I couldn't using imiwa, midori or. Not sure if there are equivalents for Android, but I would recommend checking out potential apps with such features.Īnother reason why you may be considering an electronic dictionary could be for a more 'powerful database of vocabulary'. The pro of this app would be it's split screen capability which can really help you to be more productive when working on an ipad. If you would prefer an Japanese dictionary app with built in handwriting input for IOS, you can consider Midori however, it costs about 10 USD and the handwriting input function doesn't seem to register my inputs as accurately as MyScript stack or an electronic dictionary. ![]() Pair this app up with a free dictionary app such as Imiwa and you've got a working electronic dictionary with handwriting input on in the form of your smart phone for no additional cost. Comparing it's accuracy to my electronic dictionary's, I find that MyScript Stack may even be slightly better as it doesn't seem to be as strict with stroke orders. The app works as an additional keyboard that recognizes handwriting in a variety of languages and can be used with pretty much any other app. My favorite would be MyScript Stack, which is a free IOS app. Fortunately, there are now smartphone apps that are capable of registering handwriting inputs rather accurately. I feel that this is probably the factor that most people take into account when deciding whether to get a electronic dictionary or not as handwriting input definitely allows one to look up kanji and vocab more easily. Here are some of the similarities and differences/some apps that you can try out for free or a fraction of the cost of an electronic dictionary. I've used both iphone apps (haven't tried android apps) and an electronic dictionary (Casio Ex-Word K4800) and from my experience from using both, I feel that for the most part iphone apps are on par with electronic dictionaries and may even be better in certain aspects. /r/JapanResidents (for people who live in Japan only).To create furigana in your posts, use the following syntax: (#fg "かんじ") Whether you're a beginner or an expert in the Japanese Language, our index of resources might come in handy.
