![]() But it’s not just the picture quality that sets the Index apart: in the settings, you can enable either 120hz or an “experimental” 144hz refresh rate, the latter of which can sometimes result in some distracting jutter. It’s not an OLED so the contrast isn’t quite as high as it could have been, and I'm still not entirely free of God rays and halos when looking at bright lights or white text in dark environments, but it still looks fantastic and the screen-door effect is minimal. The LCD display produces the best VR image I’ve ever seen. Valve also includes a rubber insert for people with small heads – I was even able to fit it on my four-year-old son (only for a few minutes, naturally). As far as weight distribution goes it’s still not quite up to the comfort level of the crown-style headgear of the PlayStation VR, but certainly a big step up from the original Vive and Oculus Rift, and significantly more comfortable than the Rift S, even on my abnormally large head. The headstrap is similar to the Vive Pro’s, with rigid side pieces that are tightened and loosened by a ratcheting knob on the back and a velcro strap to hold it on the top of your head. Valve Index – The HeadsetĬomfort is one of the big things we’re paying for, and the Index delivers in that department as well as in generally high build quality. Notably, the Index’s minimum system requirements mirror the Vive’s, though that would give you “minimum” levels of performance as well and not take advantage of the Index’s superior screen capabilities. Also, there’s a safety breakaway near the end, and Valve plans to let you detach it there and buy a $40 VirtualLink USB-C adapter that combines all three into one small plug in July. Overall, I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. It’s handy that (unlike the Vive) the Index uses a DisplayPort connection, considering most gaming GPUs have multiple DisplayPort ports but only a single HDMI port. There’s no obnoxious breakout box just a single cable cleanly splits at the end into USB, DisplayPort, and AC power. Plugging into my PC was similarly easy, especially compared to the original Vive or Vive Pro. Title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article Everything automatically connected and worked flawlessly on the first attempt, so it would be unseemly to complain – especially when the benefit is tracking that’s significantly more reliable than inside-out and loses track of hands much less frequently. However, the Lighthouse 2.0 base stations were extremely easy to plop on perches in opposite corners of the room and plug into power. ![]() ![]() Having used Oculus’ incredibly convenient inside-out tracking system on the Rift S and Quest, it was genuinely a drag to go back to setting up external sensors. ![]() But if you have the budget and space to accommodate it, the Index is very arguably worth every penny thanks to its excellent display, wide field of view, best-available controllers, and reliable tracking. There’s absolutely no getting around the fact that a full, zero-to-Index setup will cost you $1,000, which is two and a half times as much as the recently released Oculus Rift S (but somehow significantly cheaper than the absurd $1,330 HTC still asks for a similar Vive Pro setup). Headset might be good, but controllers are dividing people with that headset.After partnering with HTC to produce the Vive in 2016, Valve has gone solo with its ambitious new premium VR headset, the Index. I don't want controllers that need batteries and that I couldn't upgrade. Very easy to switch to new controller model whenever any company providing SteamVR tracking headsets introduces new ones, while with G2 you most likely need to change the headset if you want to change controllers for better ones.Ĭontrollers are the main reason I wouldn't go for G2. I use Vive Pro with Index controllers (it wands went obsolete against the competition, so I upgraded). With SteamVR tracking headsets you can easily get new controllers when old ones go obsolete and I have never heard anyone used controllers so long that they battery dies before the go obsolete. G2 don't even use same controllers as other WMR headsets so you are locked what HP provides to you. Personally, I never liked that the Index had plug in controllers, batteries don't last for ever, what then, another set of controllers? $369.00 I'd rather buy 4 rechargeable batteries You are going to use same controllers forever? With G2 you can't switch to new controllers (Unless HP specifically upgrades them). Check out comparisons between Index and Reverb G2 you might change your mind on the Index.

![]() On the average, it took Bostitch air compressor roughly around 3 – 5 minutes to fill up its own tank at maximum pressure. Skepticism apart, once I had everything plugged in, this air compressor worked beyond my imagination. However, the official company rep assured me that Bostitch will not only render support in case my expectations fall short of anything but perfection, but the company will also make sure that the product is delivered on priority to help eliminate the waiting period. The problem was that I was going to use this air compressor on jackhammers and other high performance power tools which relied on the rate of the compressed air and the speed at which it’d be supplied. You see, filling up tires or your kid’s pool party swimming pool with an air compressor is the easiest job you can expect from normal compressors. Obviously, I was not wrong in assuming that with only a fraction of horsepower, it would not only take the air compressor to fill up its own tank, but steadily deliver high pressure air to devices that specifically come with a bit of a challenge. Eventually, I had to call Bostitch official sales rep, and I was devastated to discover that the BTFP02012 model only has 0.8 HP! Before buying and reviewing this air compressor, I had no clue about its HP (*Horsepower) output I looked around but in vain. Performance wise, I was expecting the Bostitch BTFP02012 series air compressor to outperform other products within the same price range. You can lift the product and carry it around wherever it’s needed. ![]() I was surprised to notice that the diameter of this air compressor is 14 inches, which makes it kind of a “compact” compressor, but not exactly the most slim model out there.īut then again, Bostitch has installed a very strong handle on the air compressor unit. However, the weight will go up once the air compressor is filled with an extra 6 gallons of highly compressed air. When empty, this air compressor weighs around 29 Lbs. Under normal circumstances, pancake air compressors do not have this staggering belly. ![]() The company introduced a large storage capacity of 6 gallons, which called for an unusual size by a “pancake” style standard. Bostitch BTFP02012 pancake air compressor is comparatively bigger in size as compared to conventional models in the market. ![]() Some applicants may receive a higher or lower regular annual rate depending on a credit evaluation.

However, the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii and others have warned the tax increases will do more harm to Hawaii’s economy just as the state is struggling to emerge from the pandemic. Supporters of the bill contend it would require Hawaii’s wealthiest residents to pay a larger share of the cost of state government, making the tax system more fair. Properties worth more than $4 million would see their conveyance tax double, the tax on sales for more than $6 million would triple, and sales of properties worth more than $10 million would quadruple. (c) providing for exemption from conveyance tax with respect to any transfer of an interest in real property in which the purchase price for the interest. The proposed conveyance tax increase in the bill would apply to sales of non-owner occupant properties worth $4 million or more. Senate Ways And Means Committee Chair Donovan Dela Cruz on the chamber floor in 2020. EFFECTIVE JUnless an exemption applies, the State of Hawaii imposes a tax on the conveyances or transfers of real property and interests in real property by deed, lease, sublease, an assignment of lease, or any other document. Currently estates of $5.49 million or less are exempt from the tax, but the bill would limit that exemption to estates totaling $3.5 million or less. The latest draft of House Bill 58 would also adjust the state inheritance tax by reducing the dollar value of inheritance that is exempt from the tax. The amount of conveyance tax paid by the Seller will vary depending upon the purchase price of the property and what the Buyer of the property plans to do with the property (owner-occupied, resident or non-owner occupied, investor).The Senate Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved a bill Thursday to generate extra cash for state government by increasing the state conveyance tax on multi-million dollar property sales. There is also a Real Property Conveyance Tax, which typically is paid by the seller of Real Property, as part of his or her closing costs.

Ironic as it sounds, considering sleep is one of the most important parts of self-care, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all and meet these requirements - or are there? If you’re juggling work, classes, a social life, all while trying to save at least an hour for yourself, I’m sure you can probably relate. Personally, I’m lucky if I clock in seven hours of sleep for me, nine hours of uninterrupted sleep on a weeknight sounds like a literal dream. Did you just actually LOL at that statement? Because I sure did. But can naps make up for lost sleep? In theory, putting the day on pause to snooze and recoup sounds like an excellent solution to exhaustion, but are you better off pushing through the day on a mere six hours of sleep? Science may or may not have the answer.Īccording to the National Sleep Foundation’s guidelines, it’s suggested that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years old clock in anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep every night. I’ll let you in on a little secret, though: There’s this beautiful thing called a nap - maybe you’ve heard of it - where you take a snooze in the middle of the day to catch some quick Zs. It’s unfortunate, but #adultlife just doesn’t always allot six to eight hours of shut-eye - or so it seems. The 669 volunteers, aged 38 to 50, were recruited from the Chicago site (based at Northwestern University) of the CARDIA study, an ongoing project, begun in 1985, designed to assess long-term cardiovascular risk factors.Īlthough the study found significant variation based on race, sex and income it was not designed to get at the causes of those differences.When your weekdays are packed to the brim with to-dos, you don't have the luxury of turning off your alarm and sleeping as late as you want on a random Tuesday morning. ![]() This study may someday connect sleep loss to coronary artery disease. More recent studies have tied chronic partial sleep deprivation to medical problems, including obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Lack of sleep has long been connected with reduced ability to concentrate, trouble learning, decreased attention to detail and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. "Although sleep scientists have generally accepted that the average sleep duration of Americans has been declining in parallel with our transformation to a frenetic 24-hour society," Quan wrote, "most sleep clinicians would consider those values indicative of sleep deprivation even by current standards." The researchers were particularly surprised by the short span and poor quality of sleep among African-American men - 5.1 hours a night and 73 percent sleep efficiency. Quan of the University of Arizona in a commentary. They found that sleep duration and sleep efficiency were "remarkably lower" than values reported in most previous studies, noted Stuart F. Using the Actiwatch and nightly logs, Lauderdale and colleagues recorded how long people spent in bed (on average, 7.5 hours), how long it took them to fall asleep (22 minutes), how long they slept (6.1 hours), and their total sleep "efficiency" - time asleep divided by time in bed (81 percent). They also kept a log of their hours in bed. Participants wore the device in the home for three days and nights. This was one of the first large studies to combine sleep diaries with a technique called wrist actigraphy that uses a motion sensor - worn like a watch - to measure not just when people go to bed but when they fall asleep. "Our study tells that we can't entirely trust those earlier surveys," Lauderdale said, "because people do not know how much they sleep." Studies from the 1970s reported average sleep times closer to seven hours a night. Studies suggest that average sleep times have declined since 1900, when people reported sleeping nine hours a night. ![]() "As we learn more and more about the importance of sleep for health, we find evidence that people seem to be sleeping less and less." ![]() "People don't think they get enough sleep and they get less sleep than they think," said study author Diane Lauderdale, Ph.D., associate professor of health studies at the University of Chicago. Higher income also was associated with more sleep. White women slept the most, 6.7 hours a night, followed by white men at 6.1 hours, black women at 5.9 hours and black men at 5.1 hours. Although participants spent an average of 7.5 hour a night in bed, they spent only 6.1 hours asleep. |
