No significant differences were found among the 22 health instruments between the two groups. ![]() For males, the clivus bone length was significantly shorter ( p = 0.0002) for the ICTE group compared to controls. Notably, for females, the anterior CSF space was significantly smaller ( p = 0.00005) for the ICTE group than controls. Twelve and 15 measures were significantly different between the ICTE and control groups for females and males, respectively. Twenty-two brain morphometrics and 22 health instruments were compared between the two groups to identify unrecognized CMI symptoms and assess the general health impact of ICTE. ![]() Subjects were matched by sex, age, body mass index, race, and ethnicity. One-hundred-six subjects with ICTE and 106 matched controls without ICTE were identified from 11,411 anatomical MRI of healthy screened pediatric subjects from the ABCD project. The present study examined posterior cranial fossa (PCF) morphometrics and a broad range of health instruments of pediatric ICTE cases and matched controls extracted from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) dataset. Incidental cerebellar tonsillar ectopia (ICTE) that meets the radiographic criterion for Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is an increasingly common finding in the clinical setting, but its significance is unclear.

![]() But plenty of Samsung, LG, Google and other phones have it, as well as numerous speakers and headphones. Of note, there are no Apple products on the list. Here's a list of products that have aptX. If one or more of your devices doesn't run SBC at its best bit rate, but does offer aptX, then you might hear an improvement.ĪptX HD goes a step further, offering 24-bit audio at a bit rate of up to 576 kbps, while the new aptX Adaptive theoretically offers the sound quality of aptX HD at a lower bit rate and has the option of a 96kHz sampling rate. There won't be much, if any, audible difference between aptX at 384 and SBC at 345. The biggest improvement over SBC is that it requires a bit rate of 384 Kbps. The initial version of aptX is still around, and fairly common. The trick is, both products - the phone and the headphones, for example - must have aptX to get any benefit. "aptX audio is a bit rate efficient technology that ensures you receive high quality audio from your Bluetooth device, so you have a better listening experience." Qualcomm, the company that currently owns the aptX patents, makes big claims about its technology. The oversimplified version is that ADPCM uses fewer bits per sample, so the files are smaller. Where MP3 uses psychoacoustic modeling to take out data, aptX uses "time domain ADPCM," which is a whole rabbit hole of fun research for any of the technically inclined readers out there. This isn't to say that any two codecs at the same bit rate will sound the same, but it gives us something simple to compare.ĪptX is still compression it's just a different kind of compression. For reference, if you pay for a Spotify Premium account, you can get up to 320 Kbps, but more on that in a moment. It has gotten better over the years, and on most devices runs at a bit rate of up to 345 kilobits per second. It was designed to use as little processing power as possible, given the lower power devices for which it was intended. This was done using a codec called SBC or "low complexity subband codec." It wasn't designed with perfect audio fidelity in mind. ![]() In the early days of Bluetooth, audio had to be compressed significantly to work at all. As the Bluetooth standard has advanced so has the size of its limited wireless "pipe." Which is to say, far more data can be transmitted over Bluetooth than when it first came out. It's shorter range, lower power and transfers less data than Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is a low-power wireless transmission designed to allow two devices to easily transfer data over short range. This isn't as noticeable now as it was in the early days of the format, thanks to better encoders, higher bit rates and more, but sometimes you can still tell the difference even on the cheapest headphones. Compressed audio, in theory, sounds worse than the uncompressed version of the same song. These codecs are called "lossy," as the sound removed is lost, and can't be recovered. The trade-off for convenience is quality. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless is another aptX-compatible high-end headphone. So in other words, there are 44,100 snapshots per second, and each snapshot has one of 65,536 potential values. ![]() The audio on a CD has 44,100 samples every second, and each sample has a value of somewhere between 0 and 65,535 (also called "16-bit"). With enough of these snapshots, or "samples," a playback device (an iPhone, say) can convert them back into a smooth sound wave. Instead of a steady wave of sound, it's a series of snapshots. Read more: The best headphones of 2020 Bluetooth audio: A quick primerĭigital audio is a collection of samples of what a sound wave looks like at a specific moment in time. It can have other benefits, though, so it's definitely worth learning about.īut before we can explain aptX, we need to talk about Bluetooth itself. That doesn't mean it's not potentially useful, just that it doesn't necessarily mean there's much, if any, audible improvement. In the early days of Bluetooth, aptX got a lot of attention due to its potential for far higher quality compared to the stock Bluetooth transmission.īluetooth technology has come a long way in the last decade or so - it's currently in its version 5 iteration - and as such, aptX isn't the panacea it once seemed. If you're the type of person who loves to scrutinize speaker and headphone feature lists, you've likely come across aptX hyped as an improvement in quality for the audio transmission between your source, like a phone or tablet, and your headphones or speakers.

Honestly, I have a great job that I love in a completely different industry. While I’m very passionate about long-range shooting, it’s just a hobby for me. I want to stay independent, so you guys can trust my content to be unbiased. I’ve been approached by countless manufacturers with offers to sponsor this website. At this point, I’m still in the red (i.e. I recommend a balanced approach by reading other reviews, talking to shooters with hands-on experience with the equipment, looking at what the experts are using, and considering a company’s reputation and longevity.Īs a full disclaimer, my goal isn’t to make money off this website. ![]() It’s just another tool in your toolbox when researching muzzle devices. While this field test is absolutely an original, valuable tool for evaluating muzzle brakes, people shouldn’t take this as gospel. I did put my best effort into this being as objective, precise, and unbiased as practically possible using the equipment I could afford. Keep in mind this is a field test, not a laboratory test … and I’m not claiming it’s flawless. I’ve tried to find an objective approach to quantify as many features and performance metrics as I could. – Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shootingīryan was talking about rifle sights/optics in the quote above, but it articulates my fundamental philosophy. ![]() Don’t ever assume that something is what it says without measuring it. It’ll be fun to see what comes out! About The Field TestsĭON’T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED! The bottom line is to deal in absolute fundamentals, measure them, and remove all the assumptions. Part of the motivation behind my thoroughness was in hopes that I’ll be able to buy an even better muzzle brake for my rifle 2 years from now! □ This field test has already been a catalyst for conversations, and I hope it ignites some innovation over the next year or two. It provides fresh insight into the competition, shows what works well, what doesn’t seem to be working, and what precision shooters are looking for. ![]() Ultimately, I hope this test gives all manufacturers info they can use to improve their designs. If you’re wondering why I didn’t include your favorite, read the Muzzle Brake Line-Up Post. Beyond that, I simply tried to represent the wide variety of the designs that are available, and others that are widely popular on custom bolt-action rigs. All brakes used by more than 2 of the top 50 shooters in the PRS are represented ( see the data). I started by including the most popular precision rifle muzzle brakes. 338 Lapua to 50 BMG), because both of those seem to get you in a different type of product. I may do another test in the future focused on AR-15’s or large magnums (i.e. I used 4 rifles during testing, including a 6XC, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Win, and 300 Norma Magnum. This test focused on muzzle brakes designed for precision rifles in 6mm through 30 caliber. I’ve already published ridiculously exhaustive details of each test, but I’ll try to sum it up in this post. My goal with this project was to equip fellow long-range shooters with as much hard data as I could reasonably gather, so they could make an informed buying decision for their application. It included several objective tests to quantify the performance of 20+ muzzle brakes designed for precision rifles in 6mm through 30 caliber. This post summarizes the eye-opening results for the massive muzzle brake field test I’ve worked on the past few months. ![]() The DOM by distinguishing it from other systems that may seem to be This section is designed to give a more precise understanding of May be manipulated, and they are part of the object model.

If you’ve ever had your Amazon Fire Tablet die on you in the middle of using it, you know how frustrating it can be. ![]() Replacement Battery for Amazon Fire Tablet If your Kindle Fire is having other issues, it might make more sense to simply buy a new one.īut if you’re handy with tools and aren’t afraid of taking things apart, replacing the battery is definitely an option worth considering. Of course, replacing the battery is just one option. So why bother replacing the battery at all? Well, if your Kindle Fire is starting to die after just a few hours of use, it might be time for a new one.Ī fresh battery can often breathe new life into an aging device. If you’re out of warranty, you’ll have to pay for the replacement battery yourself.Īnd even if you are still under warranty, Amazon will likely only cover the cost of the replacement if the battery issue is due to a manufacturing defect.

Instead of uninstalling apps one by one and hoping for the best, you could just wipe out the device entirely. ![]() But some laptop makers use a similar lightning-bolt icon to indicate that a USB-C port can be used for charging your phone, and not for Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt ports are supposed to have a small lightning-bolt icon to identify them. Put another way, all Thunderbolt ports are USB-C, but not all USB-C ports are Thunderbolt-equipped. A Thunderbolt port may look indistinguishable from a USB-C port, since they both use the same physical USB-C connection. The short answer: Look at the laptop’s published specifications to be sure. Kensington Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Dock (SD5780T) review However, this dock didn’t present any performance or thermal issues, and if you understand that one of the Thunderbolt ports can be used for charging your smartphone, you’ll find this dock delivers virtually everything you’ll need. Kensington’s dock was also worryingly expensive when we first reviewed it, but price cuts have brought the price way down from $399 to about $260 or so. If flexibility is what you want, we’d recommend our runner-up pick, the Plugable TBT3-UDZ, instead. It’s not perfect this dock only includes support for one display port, requiring you to buy a converter cable or dongle. Kensington Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Dock (SD5780T) is the winner. We then thought that the Plugable UD-4VPD would fit the bill, but an intensive gaming session caused the dock to overheat and shut down. We originally thought our best pick would be the Kensington SD5760T, a dock that featured an ideal mix of ports on paper but also some performance issues. We’ll explain the differences in the FAQ that follows our recommendations, clarifying the terminology to help you understand what to buy and how to save some money, too. Our best USB-C hubs and dongles are covered in a separate story. We’ll close by recommending our favorite DisplayLink USB-C docks-simpler, cheaper solutions that have recently emerged. This roundup begins with the very best Thunderbolt docks, including budget options. Good Thunderbolt docks, whether Thunderbolt 4 or 5, can also charge your smartphone. Thunderbolt 5 won’t be available until 2024, but will support three 4K displays, at 144Hz each. Thunderbolt 4, with its 40Gbps, allows for two 4K displays at 60Hz apiece. A 10Gbps USB-C hub can only power a single 4K display at 30Hz. (Look for the “lightning bolt” logo to distinguish them.) But displays, especially 4K displays, consume gobs of bandwidth. ![]() ![]() Thunderbolt docks use the same USB-C connector. The best USB-C hubs and dongles provide legacy ports (USB-A, microSD, and others) for connecting PC peripherals like mice, printers, external hard drives, and more. Why buy a Thunderbolt dock? Because of the bandwidth it provides. The petition goes on to claim that "Electronic Arts and DICE did not keep many promises made at launch, and Battlefield 2042 was launched as unplayable. "Battlefield 2042 has cost consumers millions of dollars in damages and upset thousands of customers worldwide." "EA's release of Battlefield 2042 was a mockery of every customer who purchased this video game for $70 (USD) due to EA's false advertising," the petition reads. It's in this climate that frustrated Battlefield 2042 fans have now taken to to demand refunds of the game on all platforms. Digital Foundry - Battlefield 2042: PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S. Already this year, DICE has delayed Battlefield 2042's scoreboard update by a month, and its first season of content now won't arrive until "early summer" - some six months after the game's launch. Since then, DICE has struggled to right the ship while the developer has continued to massage the experience with a succession of post-launch updates, it's still managed to draw ire for other questionable choices made post-launch, as well as the sense among players that much-needed improvements to the game simply aren't coming fast enough. Eurogamer's Martin Robinson was equally damning, going as far as to call its launch "a disaster", writing, "Since Battlefield 2042 went live on Friday, I've endured hard crashes, server problems and whole nights where the whole thing is simply unplayable.This is another Battlefield that's launching in a sorry state." ![]() It has, of course, been a bumpy few months for Battlefield 2042 just days after its release last November, the DICE-developed shooter gained the unenviable accolade of being one of Steam's worst-reviewed games of all time. A rapidly growing number of Battlefield 2042 players have signed a petition demanding refunds for their purchase of EA's troubled shooter, accusing the publisher of "false advertising" and of launching the game in an "unplayable" state. |
