![]() ![]() Pictures suggest the SlimBlade trackball may have the same problem, but more readily corrected. The quick work around has been to use a foam "eraser" sponge on top of the wrist rest. The angle of the unit means the wrist is flexed upward when twiddling the ball. However, the hand position when using the unit is a problem. The scroll ring is convenient and works well - a selling point. It is mechanically simple and appears robust. I opted for the Expert, based on its included wrist rest. ![]() The Kensington Expert and Slimblade models were the best options I could find. But I recently had a couple that needed service (after a decade or so of active use.), and I needed a fill-in. We have a number of ITAC trackballs in service, they are built like the proverbial brick outhouse and they are very good for long sessions at the computer. I am a trackball fan I thin they can provide the best general mouse service most especially, I think a trackball, properly designed, is least likely to cause strain to the wrist and arm. The software is designed to customize the user experience with Kensington’s trackball mouse products. Kensington Computer Products Group made its TrackballWorks software available this week as a configuration tool compatible with the latest versions of the Windows OS and Mac OS. Good device with correctible ergonomic issue The software is available for free download. For detailed applications, this is the ONLY trackball - get the Kensington!! But, then again, the Logitech model isn't even close to being ass accurate as this Kensington, which is why I purchased the Kensington in the first place.įor everyday computing, get the Logitech. I have never had to clean a Logitech trackman Marble ball, but this Kensington requires constant cleaning to operate smoothly. So why the 4 stars instead of 5? You have to CONSTANTLY clean the trackball ball for a smooth operation. The scroll ring acts just like a scroll wheel on a mouse and is extremely accurate. Almost all other trackballs have no ability to scroll except to move the ball along the drawbar - and most trackballs' ball is too small to be delicate enough to just move a line at a time. The scroll ring is the high point of this trackball, since it is not a mouse, there is no scrolling wheel. The 4 triggering buttons are well placed and responsive, the whole housing is quite ergonomically designed for an extraordinarily comfortable fit - regardless if you have small hands and fingers, or large paws like me. This is a LARGE trackball, which is perfect for any operation requiring detailed operation (CAD, Painting, etc.) as well as general everyday usage.

That’s because nothing matters more to your credit than your track record of paying on time. “A single payment that is 30 days or more late can devastate your credit, making your score fall 50 to 100 points, depending on your individual circumstances,” says Schulz. Just about half (49%) of consumers say they have paid a credit card bill late at least once. Worse than paying interest on small balances, however, are the two major things that many Americans have done that actually hurts their credit score: paying a credit card bill late and maxing out their credit cards. Schulz suggests putting a small recurring bill on a card you don’t use much, and paying it off in full each month. However, according to Schulz, you do not need to carry a balance on a card in order to keep it from being closed - you just have to use it periodically. “It is definitely true that a dormant or little-used card might be at risk of being closed by its issuer,” says Schulz, and it happened even more so during the early days of the pandemic. Though Schulz isn’t exactly sure where this myth comes from, he thinks perhaps it could be confusion with the idea that you need to keep a card active in order to keep it from being closed. It’s especially concerning for the youngest generation who could end up carrying a balance for several decades. If they’re only carrying a small balance, it may not cost them a huge amount of money, but over time, it adds up,” he says. “The myth hurts cardholders because it costs them money. But it’s simply not accurate, says Schulz. For the youngest consumers, Gen Z, the percentage is 79%. The myth that keeping a small balance on your cards is actually good for your credit score is pervasive - with just about two out of three Americans believing it. Specifically, more than half (55%) of card-carrying consumers are missing out on credit card rewards by paying with cards that don’t provide points or cash back, despite the majority (85%) of cardholders having at least one rewards card.Ħ5% think carrying a balance helps their score, and that’s not the only credit card mistake consumers are making Credit cards can provide many benefits - but many aren’t taking advantage of them.Men are 27% more likely to pay their credit card balance in full each month (57% versus 45% of women), while women are more likely to have made a late payment (54% versus 44% of men). Women struggle more to pay their credit card bills in full and on time.While that’s not an issue for those who pay their bill in full each month, it’s worth looking into for the 49% of cardholders who generally carry a balance. More than a third (35%) of cardholders don’t know their credit card’s interest rate.Both of these behaviors put Americans at risk of missing discrepancies with their score or transactions. In addition, 1 in 4 credit cardholders also don’t review their card statements every month. More than half of consumers (55%) haven’t checked their credit score in over a month.In reality, this likely means consumers are paying extra interest when they don’t have to. The number is even higher ( 79%) among Gen Z. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of Americans believe this costly credit card myth: that carrying a small balance on their credit card each month will improve their credit score.More than half check don’t credit scores monthly.65% think carrying a balance helps their credit score. ![]() ![]() ![]() Configurable post-processors default to metric (G21).Post-processors produce either metric (G21) output, Imperial (G20) output or are configurable.Machine output unit is completely unrelated to your selected unit schema.Generating the correct unit in output is the responsibility of the post-processor and is done only at that time.Changing your preferred unit schema will have no effect on output but will help avoid input errors.If you design in US units, either the Imperial Decimal and Building US will work If you're a Path user and prefer to design in metric, it's highly recommended that you use the "Metric Small Parts & CNC" schema.

It’s available through the subscription service Wondery Plus, along with the entire first season of Cold ad-free.ELBERTA, Utah County - Despite more than a full day of rescue efforts, John Edward Jones died around midnight Wednesday while trapped in a tight section of Nutty Putty Cave. Cannon’s story in the third bonus episode of the Cold podcast. Hear more about Nutty Putty Cave and Sgt. “Zero probability,” Cannon answered, without hesitation. Cawley asked the sheriff’s sergeant about the likelihood that Susan’s remains are at the site. ![]() Still, the evidence debunking Nutty Putty as a final resting place for Susan Powell is convincing, at least to Cannon. Time stamps on the data showed both were accessed within two days of Susan’s disappearance. One showed the opening of Nutty Putty Cave. What Cawley cannot say for certain is why or when Powell wrote the words on the postcard.Īdditionally, West Valley City police located a couple of “thumbnail” images on the laptop they seized from Powell’s home the day after Susan disappeared that offered more evidence of familiarity. In the course of investigating the case for the Cold podcast, Cawley discovered proof Powell indeed was at least familiar with the cave. There is evidence Josh Powell was aware of Nutty Putty Cave, as well as the plight of John Jones. “Something bigger, a full-sized pickup truck or full-sized SUV, it’s a challenge getting up here in those vehicles.” What did Josh Powell know? Something like a Nissan Rogue or even a Toyota 4Runner would have a hard time,” Cannon said. Even a small four-wheel drive SUV would be very, very difficult. “It would be virtually impossible for an off-the-rack, off-the-showroom-floor minivan or passenger car to get up here. Cannon found himself, instead, hiking halfway down that hill to update reporters, friends and family who had gathered for news. Many could not summit the steep hill that led to the mouth of the cave. News trucks, gathered during the 27-hour rescue attempt, struggled to reach the site. The terrain is also a problem for the theory. And so we had deputies here 24/7, from early on Thanksgiving morning until it was sealed on December 2nd with concrete,” Cannon said. “There are those, a smaller number, who might want to go inside and do something or collect something. ![]() “The opening of Nutty Putty Cave was permanently closed with 30 yards of concrete and explosives on the second of December.” “Susan was seen up until the sixth of December ,” Cannon said. The timing is one key reason why West Valley City got so many tips about Nutty Putty Cave in connection with Susan Powell’s 2009 disappearance, but Cannon is quick to point out the timeline doesn’t support the location as a final resting place for the young mother. 27 hours after they first entered the cave to attempt to rescue Jones, he was confirmed to have died. Ultimately, the attempt to rescue Jones would fail when equipment that was being used to help hold his weight while rescuers worked to free him failed, and he fell back into the same section where he had been stuck at the beginning of the attempt. The people who were rescued, successfully, in those previous close calls, were not as “deep” in the cave as John Jones. Utah County’s search and rescue team members were familiar with Nutty Putty, which was actually closed for several years prior to 2009 because of previous rescues. “We know now that John had been there, but we don’t know that anyone else had ever been there.” “ in an unnamed, really unexplored part of the cave that, as far as we know, nobody had been to,” Utah County Sheriff’s Sergeant Spencer Cannon told Cawley in the spring of 2019.

ITunes organizers can see all of their playlists in Denon Engine – but the playlist/folder hierarchy is broken, with every playlist from every folder appearing at the same level. Currently iTunes playlists have no structured hierarchy / folders in Engine Prime Remember the campaign tagline for the SC5000s was #SwitchYourRider – implying that Pioneer CDJ users were the focus. If you’re lucky enough to have your entire library in Serato DJ, you can import it into Engine Prime – but that’s not the target audience of Denon’s new players. For our review of the SC5000s, Denon did note that an “elegant solution” was “coming soon” for this process, but we’re almost one month later with no more information. If you want to move your Rekordbox library into Denon’s Engine Prime, there’s no direct way to do it now. There’s nothing official out yet, but the just-launched Denon Conversion Utility offers one solution. For DJs coming from Rekordbox, it feels like there should be an easy, no-hassle way to turn a CDJ-ready USB drive into an Engine Prime compatible library. Particularly if you’re an organizational nut like myself and/or really into trying all sorts of software, I can confidently say that Rekord Buddy 2.0 is worth checking out.Įditor’s Note: We’ve reached out to Next Audio Labs to see what they’ll allow us to show / tell you all about in the new software and we’ll update this article or create a new one when we get details.One of the main hesitations for DJs considering switching to the new Denon SC5000 players is the demands of switching to a new track organization system. The software does do exactly what it advertises, and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Unfortunately as part of the terms of the beta I am not able to give many details on the software in its current state. I’ve purchased the beta license for Rekord Buddy 2.0 and have spent some time with it. The thinking is: users willing to pay the cost of the software up front are more likely to be invested in the beta process. Next Audio Labs wants beta users that are serious about using the software and willing to actively report on any issues while still in a testing phase. This will certainly prevent some DJs from joining the beta – but that’s also the point. Cleverly, the current purchase price is discounted to try and entice more people to join the beta. The software license for the beta will extend into the full release version. You have to purchase the software before being able to download the beta version. While Rekord Buddy 2.0 is in public beta, it’s a paid public beta. With this software, DJs can be more prepared to play on any of the three major DJ platforms without more investment in library prep time. Your entire DJ library is imported and all of your metadata is synced across Rekordbox, Serato, and Traktor.Īs a DJ who has taken the time previously to analyze my library multiple times, just to have it available in more than one software, this saves a tremendous amount of time. The new version of Rekord Buddy makes this process as effortless as possible. Gone are the days of having to analyze your library more than once, setting beat grids and cue points multiple times, just to have the flexibility to move between different platforms. Say you feel like playing on Traktor for one gig then you for your next gig you feel like using Rekordbox on flash drives, with Rekord Buddy 2.0 this isn’t an issue at all. ![]() This is the first and seamless method of syncing your library’s metadata across multiple platforms. ![]() Rekord Buddy 2.0 is quite a big deal for digital DJs.
