It’s portable, lightweight, easy to take along with you everywhere you go, and after feeding approximately 100 receipts through it, I can confirm that the Doxie Go scans very well. It fits into the SD card slot and lets you send your scans and photos straight to the computer without plugging in. Just load the Doxie Go software, click import, and all of your scans will show up in the software.ĭoxie also has an optional Eye-Fi Connect X2 Wi-Fi card you can pick up that works with the Doxie Go. The Doxie Go has a USB port and an SD cart slot, so when you do want to download all of your scans to your computer, you can do that quickly and easily. How does it scan and save your receipts, photos, and documents if you don’t plug it in via USB? The Doxie Go has 512MB of built-in memory, so you can just push through everything you want to scan and it saves it all. All you have to do is charge it via the included wall outlet, then toss it in your bag and take it with you so you can scan everywhere you go. The main selling feature of the Doxie Go scanner is its complete portability, and by complete I mean you don’t need to plug it into your computer to use it. It’s approximately 27 cm long, only 430 grams, and like the photo shows, it fits perfectly in the side compartment of my handbag. If you’re interested in taking charge of your paper mountain and you’ve been wondering about portable scanners, here’s a quick run down of the Doxie Go.Ī portable scanner should be thin and light, and the Doxie Go is definitely lightweight and not at all bulky. That’s when I stumbled upon the Doxie Go, and decided to take it for a test spin. Mobile scanners are supposed to take the grunt work out of keeping your paper organized, and instead of wondering where a receipt went, I just scanned it when I received it and the digital copy was right there when I needed it.Īfter trying out the Neat Receipts Scanner and writing a review on it last year, I did some research on portable scanners. ![]() Sometimes (ok, all the time) at tax time, I have a panic attack because I’ve lost some vital piece of paper I really need to submit, and that’s one of the reason why I wanted to try the Neat Receipts Scanner last year. I’m an organized person and I love to use boxes and bins to keep everything neat and tidy, but when it comes to random receipts and papers I need for taxes and monthly tallies, I tend to put them all in my neat little boxes and forget about them for a year until tax time. ![]() Although a lot my life has gone digital, there is still a plethora of paper that hits my desk on any given week.

If you want a smoother experience but don't want to give up as much playtime, NVIDIA offers a number of other tools that can help you tailor the experience to your preferences. The middle road: set your own frame limiterĬan’t decide between performance and battery life? You can have your cake and eat it too. This will ensure you’re using the machine’s dedicated GPU, not the CPU’s integrated graphics, and that the GPU is running in its high-power mode, rather than the more limited Silent mode. You should also check Armoury Crate and make sure that your GPU mode is set to Standard (not Eco Mode) and that your machine is in Performance mode.

In our testing, the latest BatteryBoost 2.0 capped framerates to 30 FPS and improved our battery life by about 25% when gaming, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Since many high-powered ROG machines can easily hit over 100 FPS or more when plugged in, capping the frame rate to something lower allows both the GPU and CPU to operate at a much lower wattage, drawing less power from the battery.

The Thai and sushi are not the world's greatest but they are fine and nice for variety and that's ok because Kingston has so many other specialty restaurants for that if you want it. The buffet for Panda Garden was always impressive for variety and regular turnover/top-ups of the hot dishes but they expanded a couple of years ago to try some basic Thai and sushi dishes. We had called ahead for a table, which was smart as the place was full for lunch. We've had buffet there several times as party of two but this was the first bigger group. I believe the total cost with a pop was about $14 each including tip and tax so that was great.Īs in my other review, we felt like Kingston had no decent Chinese until Panda Garden came along.

It also gives you the freedom to approach enemies from multiple angles. Time and again, it was the grappling hook that saved my Spartan butt if I needed to quickly run from a battle. You can also dash, something that the series didn't have until its fourth major entry, Halo Reach, but this time around it's more like a light jog. Halo Infinite still feels a bit like you're trying to hop around on the moon, but I appreciated being able to zip forward quickly by grappling onto a nearby hill or tree. Movement in Halo has always been slow, a quirk that likely made the game easier for players to grasp when console shooters were rare. It also gives you a bit of a speed boost as you traverse the open world. As I wandered around Zeta Halo, a grassy environment that's clearly reminiscent of the first entry, I quickly learned that the grappling hook was more than just a way to climb up. This Halo was my oyster (or more fittingly, a broken disc-shaped sea creature of some kind). I could rescue some nearby soldiers, go hunt for new equipment, or take on notorious targets. Judging from my map, which was populated by taking over that FOB, there was plenty to do. ![]() Before me lay a chunk of Zeta Halo that I could explore freely. After clearing out a Forward Operating Base (or FOB) filled with baddies, I was presented with something rarely seen in Halo: choice. I made may way to the nearby semi-destroyed ring world, dubbed "Zeta Halo," along with my soldier buddy. (Bungie's Halo 3: ODST, in particular, was a unique attempt at delivering a human-focused story in a world filled with super soldiers.)īut a few hours in, once I showed that ape who was boss and acquired a Cortana-like AI called "The Weapon," Halo Infinite finally opened up. Once again, I feared that the studio would be too afraid to push Halo into fresh territory and reach the heights of Bungie, the franchise's creator. It was as if I was walking down the same corridors and fighting enemies that I already faced in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, the previous two games developed by 343 Industries. Sure, it was nice to be back in Master Chief's shoes after six years, but it still felt like a retread, even with the addition of a new grappling hook. To be blunt: Halo Infinite's opening had me worried, especially after its year-long delay. In short order, he was back in action taking down feisty grubs, plowing helmet-first into increasingly bigger firefights and going toe-to-toe with angry looking space ape. It starts off with Master Chief drifting in space, where he's miraculously rescued by a human soldier. Playing through the game's first few missions is like plowing through an abridged Halo campaign, for better or worse. The red outline means your ammo will penetrate the enemy armor and will do full damage.Stop me if you've heard this one before: In Halo Infinite, you play as the Spartan super-soldier Master Chief who must defeat a dastardly group of aliens (somehow, the Banished returned!) before they take over a mysterious ring world. ![]() An orange outline shows up for explosive ammo when there will be no penetration but you will inflict some damage.

Long rumored among high society (and criminals) in Washington to house Garnet’s personal fortune reserve of diamonds, the building has been a viable target for gangs like Payday to hit, and as recent events have shown, those suspicions were founded on very solid ground.

Making music or listening to it is her favorite way to unwind. The night before this interview, she was up late streamlining her studio, paring down the equipment so it can travel with her. The to-do list is almost as overwhelming as those “20-minute introductions” that often prelude her public appearances.
