![]() The inability for the app to BLOCK DIRECT MESSAGING when outside work hours. You really want to know what I hate about SLACK. I mostly like Slack but for remote teams this is a problem. So it's not the inherent bandwidth and processing power required. ![]() A video call with the same number of people in a true native app is not a problem. Video calls (using the "native" app on macOS) consume so much resources that the whole machine becomes unresponsive. (or, to put it another way, if you start a channel call, you should be able to moderate it and remove those from it who are to meant to be there) You can't remove someone from a call if they join by mistake It's slow and laggy if you ever used a native program and got used to responsive user interfaces. and that stuff is still pretty bad, even tho it was changed a bit. I used to really hate slack, but that's mostly because I have to use user groups a lot, most of the time I'm using slack it's to find someone who belongs to some group and message him. Especially when time and date stamps are so tiny so it takes a while to get oriented again. Scrolling needs to be improved, I don't want random jumps there. What a waste of time compared to other tools which are supporting this.ĭate stamps needs to be more visible, or give us option in settings to make it more/less visible I'm sick of searching that person, which closes user groups and if that person is actually AFK, I have to search for that group AGAIN and do it again. If I search for a group, open it, I want to be able to not just see who is online from that group, but also a message button. I miss some features but I wish slack had a little more ability to organize, group channels, and navigate a little better. The red dot number keep climbing even though I've read everything and used shift-esc. Usually shift-esc will clear it (in itself a pain), but now even that hack won't help. No way to forbid slack to touch my microphone settings (seriously, dont autoadjust my microphone level, it never works and i hate you so much for it) Interface ist inconsistent between devices. Give me some freaking organization and curation to the conversations - otherwise it's 1000 person cocktail party with everyone playing drinking games.ĪGAIN! Search sucks.

It's so bad I am considering making my own mix of discord and slack.įinding conversations you know you've had - but search is (Still) terrible, and if it was a direct message with a group of people, you have to remember exactly which group of people it was with They are unstoppable towards companies who don't have people technically savvy enough to transition any other software. Even though I use it as an integration for another platform and will recommend it even though it's horrible as a whole. Let me rant about everything I hate about slack. Slack is one of the worst messaging apps I have ever seen. The awful crappy dependency hell of a thing they call an API. API integrations are possible over at Discord. ![]() It can be intergrated with discord to work with clients who only want to use slack or even any other platform. I still use slack, although I prefer discord. ![]()

![]() In general, to adjust the depth of cut on a fixed base router, loosen a locking knob and either rotate the base or adjust a knob. It’s easy to customize and works well for on-site projects. This type of wood router conforms by sliding up and down in its base. Plunge routers make it easy to make through cuts, deep grooves, and mortises, as well as pattern and template work. The housing allows controlled vertical movement during a cut, so you can plunge the drill into the surface of your workpiece without worrying. Place the router over the starting point, turn it on, and slide the rotary drill bit into the wood. If you decide between the two types of wood router, the plunge router has an advantage when starting a cut in the middle of a board. You can also set it to make cuts at a number of different depths. You can adjust the cutting depth without having to turn off the router. This type of router moves up and down on spring-loaded bars. Get to know each type to choose the best one. ![]() Home improvement will have to choose between a fixed base router or a plunge router, and some combo kits are also available. Introduce the work slowly to avoid breaking the bit Types of Wood RoutersĪnyone looking for a new router for their DIY projects has probably noticed the wide range of different styles available. Tip: If you are doing heavy routing with a 1/4-inch shank drill, make shallow cuts. Check the manufacturer’s information to see which collet size your router is using. Most 1/2-inch collets are removable and can be replaced with a 1/4-inch collet. A router with a 1/4-inch collet will not pick up a 1/2-inch bit. Larger ones can usually accept both sizes. Smaller routers often use a 1/4-inch collet. You can get most types of burrs with either a 1/4 “or 1/2” shank. The shank of a bit fits into a non-adjustable chuck on a router called a collet. Most plunge routers and fixed routers have a few basic things in common. On some models, you can switch between the two. There are two types of wood routers, one with a fixed base and one with a plunge base. With a motor spinning bit over 20,000 rpm, a router can create shapes on the edge of a board or make raised panels for doors or trim. CNC wood routers add the benefits of Computer Numerical Control (CNC). There is also a traditional hand tool known as a router plane, a form of hand plane with a wide base and a narrow blade that extends well above the base plate. Some woodworkers consider the router to be one of the most versatile power tools available. They can be hand-held or attached to router tables. Routers are most commonly used in woodworking, especially furniture making. It routs (hollowed out) an area in hard material, such as wood or plastic. The spindle can be driven by an electric motor or a pneumatic motor. What is Wood Router?Ī wood router is a power tool with a flat base and a rotating blade extending past the base. This guide highlights the types of routers and router bits. The quality of the tool is most important. Some DIY enthusiasts may need a fixed base router to get a smooth edge, while others prefer a dip base model that can carve flutes and a groove into the workpiece. Most wood routers have adjustable speeds, but make sure the speed range suits your needs. ![]() From simple round overs to fancy ogee edges, the best wood router kicks up the results a notch. Seasoned DIYers and hobbyists know the difference a wood router can make on the quality of the end product. You may have questions like “What is a woodworking router?

It’s not large enough for a laptop which I don’t haul around anyway.” One disagrees that this bag is too small to carry everything, explaining, “This is a great bag to have if you’re the type of person who finds themselves toting around a number of items on a daily basis and need some extra room. It could be used daily as a purse or man-bag. Another agrees, noting the size is “perfect” because it’s “not too big and not too small.” He continues, “The canvas is nice and soft, not stiff like so many. Should last for years unless you drag it behind your car,” raves one. ![]() Many mention that while this won’t be your carry-all bag because it is on the smaller size, it’s ideal for everyday use: “This is a beautiful, well-constructed bag. Many feel it’s relatively complex because there are so many compartments, but as one sums up, “Overall, the bag does have way too many pockets, but that is a great thing for travelers like me.” Plus, it feels like it will last a long time,” as one puts it. “The canvas material is sturdy, and the adjustable strap is a good length for crossbody use. Can’t speak for other uses but for a nice, compact, functional travel bag at a great price, this is a gem.” Many remark that while its size is definitely a plus, another huge selling point is the durability. Easy to get to everything, including passports and IDs while on the go.

This messenger bag is a favorite among travelers and reviewers who prefer an all-in-one, compact bag. Another speaks to the sturdiness of this bag: “I feel like my ridiculously expensive computer will be protected if I were to drop it.” One reviewer, whose number one criteria for a messenger bag was corner protection, describes this one as excellent. Dozens of reviewers also point out the bags reinforced corners as another protective feature. “Even if you don’t have a cover on your computer, the inside of the bag is very plush and soft so you don’t have to worry about scratches,” they write. “It’s got two HUGE pockets (not too big) on the front, which carry all of my charging cables, power bank, AirPods Pro, extra pen/Sharpie, any dongles I might need, and honestly still has room to spare.” Many agree with this user who thinks no additional laptop sleeve is necessary. “It definitely makes carrying my laptop a much more pleasant experience,” one writes, especially since it can hold so much more than just a laptop. More than a third of reviewers say that they use this messenger bag for their laptop. One reviewer goes so far as to call the bag a “must have for a young professional.” They write, “Now that I have graduated and have a ‘real’ job, I continue to use it and always get a ton of compliments on it!” As for its functionality, they write that its “main pocket is big enough to hold my 15” laptop, an iPad, and a few folders/papers, and the back pocket can hold a charger cord or two along with all of my pens.” And a third reviewer says it strikes a rare balance: “Need a classy upgrade to canvas or messenger bag? Trying to appear both mature but also cool and sexy? Well, this bag somehow manages these once-thought-impossible feats.” It’s sleek, handy, and professional.” Dozens of other reviewers seem to agree, using the word “professional” as a descriptor. “This Kenneth Cole Risky Business Messenger Bag fit the bill. “I used to use a military-style, khaki messenger bag, but I needed something more professional to line up with my office job,” writes one five-star reviewer of this bag. ![]() ![]() ![]() By doing so, the programmer can have his code act like it's that program running that code.

This is especially important when you first bring them indoors. ![]() Inspect plants – Regularly have a look over your houseplants and flowers when you water them and wipe down the leaves. Put infected items in the washing machine – Clothes, throws and soft furnishings you are concerned about can be put in the washing machine, where a high temperature will kill the larvae. ![]() Be careful using pesticides as these can be toxic and are not environmentally-friendly. Ensure surfaces, furniture and soft furnishings are regularly wiped down or laundered. You'll want to ensure any dirt or food residue is regularly cleaned up.Ĭlean infected areas thoroughly – Make sure you remove the larvae and any debris. Wiping or spraying surfaces with vinegar – Another tip for getting rid of carpet beetles is to wipe surfaces, window sills, shelves, drawers and hangers with a vinegar mix. The heat and moisture removes remaining beetles and eggs. Steam cleaning – Much like vacuuming, the experts recommend steaming cleaning hard surfaces. Pay particular attention to the carpet along the skirting boards. Hoovering regularly will mean there is less for the carpet beetles to feed on.
