12/14/2023 0 Comments Stihl fs 91 r gas trimmer stores![]() The Stihl FS 91 R finished in 7th place here. An initial efficiency test, whereby we ran 8 oz of fuel through each model, proved that most of our string trimmers could run for longer on the same amount of fuel. Granted, the FS 91 R was not the most fuel-efficient model we tested. And, with a full tank, the Stihl FS 91 R will last for just over an hour before you’ll need to stop to refuel. Making fewer trips back to the truck to refuel will ultimately save you time, and consequently, money. Referring back to that tradeoff, here’s the good news: 24 oz. Of course, many pros will throw on ear protection, so this complaint could be a minor one depending on who uses it. Far and away the loudest model we tested, this string trimmer would benefit from a better muffler. The FS 91 R measured 106 dB(A) at the ear and 80 dB(A) at 50 ft. Noise is another complaint we had with this model, and it comes as something of a surprise, as Stihl generally handles sound output very well. While the trimmer weighs in at 12.1 lbs on an empty tank, practically speaking, you’ll start your day lugging around almost 14 lbs. It has the largest tank of any of the models we tested at 24 oz, but that kind of fuel capacity adds a lot of weight with a full tank of gas. On the other hand, Stihl makes some tradeoffs with this model. And this trimmer feels comfortable enough: it has the rubberized handles, an easy-to-access throttle, and an appropriately long shaft that won’t force too many people to lurch around the yard. The Stihl lineup has a reputation for comfortability, among other things. On the one hand, Stihl sinks a lot of effort into designing tools that lawn care Pros keep coming back to, and with good reason. The truth is that we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag here. To say that the ergonomics of the Stihl FS 91 R could use a lot of work would be overstating the case by a large margin. So, where’s the proverbial chink in the armor here? Let’s take a look at the many things that this piece of equipment does right, and the few things that could use some refinement. In typical Stihl fashion, this trimmer offers a lot of Pro-level performance and runtime. Today, we’re taking another gander at our 4th-place finisher, the Stihl FS 91 R String Trimmer. One of the things we like to do after a shootout is to go back to each individual model we tested and take a closer look at it. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, you can read about the testing procedures and results here. We wanted to see which brand offered the best performance, ergonomics, features, runtimes, and value. While the work doesn’t really slow down at this time of the year in Florida, those of us who review tools for a living had a great opportunity to put 10 of the OPE industry’s best string trimmer models up against each other. ![]()

We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. What makes the best mind map software?Īll of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. Who'd have thought before we started brainstorming that Alice Cooper flipping burgers at a family BBQ (or maybe in a fast food joint?) could make for a killer summer ad? I didn't, but I'd definitely buy one. "Family time" could also link to "Good weather" and "Vacation." "Burgers" could link to "Summer jobs." But by getting all these branching concepts down on paper, you can start to see the relationships between different things and generate new ideas. Some ideas will also connect back to other ideas. ![]() "BBQs" might lead to "Family time," "Good food," and "Burgers." "School's out" could lead to "Summer jobs," "Extracurriculars," and "Alice Cooper." For example, if the central theme was "Summer" (say, for a marketing campaign), the first five or so nodes might be "Good weather," "BBQs," "Vacation," "Air conditioning," and "School's out"-or whatever else it is that you think of when you think of summer.įrom each node, you then repeat the process, drilling deeper into the different concepts. Then the fun starts: around your central theme, you create "nodes" connected by lines, each with its own related idea or theme. You start by writing a central idea or theme in the middle of a blank sheet of paper. Traditionally, a mind map is done with a pen (or, ideally, loads of colored pencils or markers) and paper. ![]() MindMeister for collaborating on a mind map with a teamĪyoa for a modern approach to mind mapping The 5 best mind mapping toolsĬoggle for mind map beginners and occasional use Pen and paper set a very high bar to clear, but these are the five best mind mapping apps that manage to clear it.

12/14/2023 0 Comments G force game trailer![]() If you own a PC and buy the game to play it with Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision you will be disappointed so please do not buy it just for that – save your money and the trouble. But if you want to be able to play the game in Stereoscopic 3D mode you need to get either PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions of the game, because only they come with anaglyph glasses and the needed mode to play with it. You can say that Disney’s G-Force is below the average, but still might be fun for some kids to play it and the thing that might’ve made it worth playing was the expected 3D Stereo support which did not happen for the PC version of the game… why?Īnyway, you should be aware that Disney’s G-Force Game is available with versions for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP so you can pretty much get it and play it on any of these. Now we did not expect to have some sort of a great game coming out for something that is based on a movie, because most of the movie-based games are coming out to be average at best with lot of them raging from total bullshit to something that might be considered for a good time waster. ![]() ![]() Now the game is out and it really disappointed a lot of people expecting it to be good in 3D especially when combined with Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision kit simply because the PC version doesn’t support any form of stereo 3D – not in anaglyph or 3D Vision. Some time ago I’ve written about some interesting upcoming games that are expected to have official 3D Stereo support available in them in the form of anaglyph or 3D Vision S3D support and Disney’s G-Force game was among them. ![]() 12/14/2023 0 Comments Lumecube rgb panel![]() Lume Cube Panel Go | The front of the panel isn’t glamorous until you power it on.Īs far as specs are concerned, we have 112 LEDs (if you like math story problems, you already knew this) that each output up to 1000 Lumens. It looks a little funky when not turned on, but this is par for the course as far as LED light panels go. ![]() You can see the yellow phosphors that produce the light, which are lined up in 8 rows of 14. It has a slight texture to it and almost looks frosted. We don’t feel like it’s fragile per se, but it isn’t nearly as durable as the metal casing. The front pane is made from plastic and gives a little when you put pressure onto it. The actual light takes up almost one entire face of the panel apart from a few centimeters of protection on each side. Lume Cube Panel Go | The technical information, logo, and LCD are in the corners of the panel. It can fit inside a small sling with ease and slides nicely into an interior daypack pocket. It’s roughly the size of a cell phone and fits into the hand nicely. It’s placed above the battery and power information, so it blends in nicely and is oddly satisfying alongside the technical information.Īs far as size goes, the panel is just under five inches (12.7 cm) long, just under two and three-quarter inches (6.9 cm) tall, and a third of an inch (.85 cm) thick. The logo’s white lettering is pretty large on the back of the light, but we don’t really mind. Lume Cube Panel Go | The panel is a beacon in a dark room. It’s matte black, which is sleek and looks professional. We aren’t exactly sure what material, but it feels like some sort of aluminum. Starting with the exterior, the Lumecube Panel GO’s shell is crafted from hard metal. ![]() The Lume Cube Panel Go seems like a contender for this job due to its small size and powerful LEDs, but will it live up to the hype or have us scrolling on Amazon for a replacement? Let’s dive in. Given this fact, bringing a portable light on a trip in which you’ll be taking photos seems like a no-brainer. Without anything to dance across and illuminate your camera’s sensor, images wouldn’t exist. ![]() It comes with a computer mount and built-in frosted lenses and diffusers that shine a soft light on your face without hurting your eyes.Photography simply isn’t possible without light. It's USB-powered and clips directly onto your phone, tablet, or laptop giving off soft, warm, adjustable light.Īnd if you spend all day and night on video conference calls, your best option is the Lume Cube Video Conferencing Lighting Kit. When you need an inexpensive light that will work just as well with your laptop as it will your phone, we like the QIAYA selfie ring light. They're dimmable, come with eight filters, and offer endless lighting options. ![]() If you want professional-grade light, we recommend the Neewer 5600K USB LED Lights. The best lighting for webcam streaming comes down to positioning, brightness options, and your budget. It's the perfect setup for casual and professional Zoom meetings, vlogging, and FaceTime chats. The ring light and wireless remote control kit from PIXEL come with a 19-inch bi-color vlogging light, filter, mounting adapters, and a wireless remote controller. A remote control helps you make minor adjustments and do it out of the line of sight. You never want to be seen fiddling with your light, trying to make adjustments while filming. ![]() 12/14/2023 0 Comments Native instruments kontakt demo![]() ![]() Q: Will you continue to produce EZX content for EZdrummer 2?Ī: No, upon release of EZdrummer 3, we will only be able to produce EZX content for the new standard.
