Not for beginners. Importing keys tough
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: bc3tech
As someone who uses an Yubikey at work, I have seen its usefulness and sought to incorporate its feature set into my personal life to secure my computer login, Microsoft, GitHub accounts, and allow for the secure signing of git commits. The Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC seemed like a promising candidate to meet these needs.
**Setup Experience:**
The initial setup process was somewhat mixed. The written instructions available on Yubico's website were sufficient, but not without their hurdles. Some assumptions in the setup guide required a bit of trial and error, leading to a necessary factory reset due to confusion over the separation of PINs for different functions of the YubiKey. Despite this, it was a minor setback, and I was able to proceed without much difficulty thereafter.

Despite this, it was a minor setback, and I was able to proceed without much difficulty thereafter.
**Performance and Utility:**
Once configured, the YubiKey 5 NFC excelled in functionality. It simplified the login processes on my desktop significantly, particularly with web logins to sites like GitHub and accessing my password manager—making these actions quicker than other security methods I’ve used.

To improve, I suggest enhancing the process of importing existing GPG keys so users with an existing security posture don't have to jump through so many hurdles.
**Mobile Interaction:**
For mobile use, the YubiKey felt somewhat cumbersome and I've yet to find an app or use case where I can actually apply it, given the # of apps and sites that have already integrated biometric security which is much more convenient than having to get out a physical key to log in.

**Durability and Build:**
So far, the device has shown no physical wear and appears durable. It has stood up well to regular use without any issues of degradation.

**Final Thoughts:**
The YubiKey 5 NFC is highly recommended for advanced computer users who utilize GPG security or are transitioning towards a passwordless digital environment. Its robust security features, once set up, offer a significant improvement to both security and efficiency for desktop users. While mobile integration could be enhanced, the overall performance remains impressive.

Comfortable, Reliable, and Great Sound Quality
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: bc3tech
When I first unboxed it, I found the design to be sleek and modern, although there were no standout features that particularly caught my eye. Setting it up was a breeze — it was quick and straightforward, which is always a plus. One of the standout features for me was the comfort level. The headset felt great on my head and ears, even during longer listening sessions. As for audio quality, while I didn't extensively test it for gaming, I found the music playback to be impressive. The sound was clear, with good bass response, making for an enjoyable listening experience. Wireless performance was another strong point. I experienced no dropouts or interference during use, and the wireless connection was reliable throughout. Battery life has also been impressive; I haven't yet run out of battery during my daily use, typically charging it overnight. In terms of usability, all the controls were intuitive and easy to use. Adjusting volume, muting, and accessing other features were straightforward and made sense in the context of use. Overall, I would recommend the Turtle Beach Atlas Air Wireless Headset to anyone looking for a comfortable, high-quality wireless headset. Its comfort, excellent audio quality, ease of setup, and intuitive controls make it a solid choice for both gaming and music enthusiasts alike.

**Installation: 4/5**
The installation process of the Tapo cameras was straightforward, with both anchors and screws provided for different mounting preferences. While using screws alone sufficed for my setup, I initially struggled with aligning the solar panels and cameras. It wasn't apparent that they could be mounted separately for better flexibility. Although this allows for optimal positioning, it does leave the larger mount visible, which some may find unsightly. The app's connection process could be more intuitive; manual connection to each camera's Wi-Fi was necessary before adding them in the app, which I discovered through trial and error.

**Camera Quality: 5/5**
The 2K resolution of the cameras delivers exceptional clarity, both during the day and at night. The night-time infrared is impressively strong, and the spotlight feature ensures vivid color capture after dark. However, to avoid reflections from my home's siding, I had to adjust the cameras to an angle that might give my neighbors the impression of surveillance.

The solar panels perform admirably, maintaining a full charge on all cameras without direct southern exposure. They effectively harness sunlight during early and late hours, as well as throughout the day, ensuring continuous power without the need for additional charging.

**App Integration: 4.5/5**
The Tapo app is a welcome addition, with swift loading times and easy access to camera controls. Initially, I was concerned about managing another smart home app, but the seamless integration of my existing Kasa devices into the Tapo app was a pleasant surprise, reflecting TP-Link's thoughtful design.

**Overall Experience: 4/5**
My overall satisfaction with the Tapo camera system is high, with the quality and functionality meeting my expectations. However, the lack of swappable batteries is a significant drawback. In scenarios where solar charging isn't sufficient, the need to remove, charge, and remount the cameras is inconvenient and time-consuming. A swappable battery feature would greatly enhance the efficiency and user-friendliness of this system.

Impressive Value and Portability
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: bc3tech
my experience with it has been quite positive. When I first unboxed the projector, I was pleasantly surprised by its compact size and lightweight design. The packaging was efficient, and despite the absence of batteries for the remote, all other promised accessories were included.
Setting up the projector was extremely straightforward. Connecting my Roku Streaming Stick via HDMI was quick and hassle-free, and the onboard USB port was even able to power the Roku. I also tested a USB drive with videos, and it played them effortlessly. Additionally, connecting the projector to an external Bluetooth speaker was seamless, without any audio lag, which is a significant improvement over other projectors I’ve used in the past.
The image quality of the Vankyo - Leisure 470 Neo is commendable for its size and price range. It provided sufficient clarity in my living room, as long as the blinds were drawn to minimize ambient light. The colors were vibrant enough for an enjoyable viewing experience. Although it might not compete with high-end projectors in terms of resolution and brightness, it performs admirably given its compact form factor and affordability.
The built-in speakers, while impressive when the unit is close to the viewer, might not suffice for everyone. However, the ease of connecting a Bluetooth speaker enhances the audio experience significantly. I was particularly pleased that there was no noticeable audio lag when using the Bluetooth connection, which has been a recurring issue with other portable projectors I’ve tried.
Portability is one of the standout features of this projector. Its lightweight design and built-in vertical adjustment stand make it easy to transport and set up in different locations. The power cord is of a practical length, striking a good balance between usability and portability.
Navigating the user interface was intuitive, and the remote control, despite needing separate batteries, worked well. The menus were easy to navigate, and I had no trouble figuring out the settings and options available.
Though I haven’t used the projector for extended periods, during my usage, I did not notice any significant fan noise, which speaks well for its heat management and overall reliability.
In terms of value for money, I believe the Vankyo - Leisure 470 Neo Wireless Mini Projector offers great bang for the buck. The feature that stands out the most for me is the smooth Bluetooth speaker connectivity, devoid of the audio lag issues that plague many portable projectors. This, combined with its compact size and ease of use, makes it a highly recommendable option for portable use cases or environments that don't require high-lumen projections (like outdoor daytime settings or brightly lit rooms).
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the Vankyo - Leisure 470 Neo Wireless Mini Projector. I would definitely recommend it to others, especially those looking for a portable projector with reliable Bluetooth audio capabilities. It’s ideal for users who need a lightweight, easy-to-set-up projector for casual viewing in controlled lighting environments.

Compact, Clear, and Convenient
on May 18, 2024
Posted by: bc3tech
I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, the compact size and easy assembly of the unit stood out. The packaging was adequate and efficient, ensuring the microphone arrived in perfect condition.
Setting up the Razer Siren Mini was a breeze. I simply connected it to an open USB-A port on my computer, and it was immediately recognized by Windows 11. Within moments, I was using it for my Teams calls without any hassle. The plug-and-play nature of this microphone makes it incredibly user-friendly, even for those who might not be tech-savvy.
The sound quality of the Razer Siren Mini is exceptional. During my calls, the microphone effectively eliminated any echo, allowing me to speak comfortably from about 2.5 feet away. Colleagues reported that they could hear and understand me clearly, with no issues whatsoever. This performance has been consistent not just in Teams calls, but also when I used the microphone to record audio for software demos. The clarity and quality of the recordings have left me very satisfied.
One feature that I particularly appreciate is the touch-mute button on the top of the microphone. This hardware mute function is incredibly convenient during calls, enabling quick and easy muting without the need to click around the screen, activate a window, or remember keyboard shortcuts. It's a thoughtful addition that enhances the overall user experience.
So far, I have not encountered any issues or downsides with the Razer Siren Mini. It has been reliable and efficient in all my uses. Additionally, considering its performance and features, I believe the Razer Siren Mini offers excellent value for money. It is an affordable option that does not compromise on quality, making it a great investment for anyone in need of a high-quality microphone for calls, recordings, or streaming.
In conclusion, the Razer Siren Mini has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its compact design, ease of use, superb sound quality, and convenient features make it a standout product. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient microphone at a reasonable price.

Good entry level for small spaces
on April 8, 2024
Posted by: bc3tech
This Roomba is, in my opinion, aimed at entry-level users of a robotic vacuums. While it's nice that it has mopping capabilities as well as vacuuming, it is not "smart" in the sense that you can have it mop or vacuum based on surface detection. Instead, you are left setting it to mop *OR* vacuum, and instructed to *manually block off* carpeted areas with obstacles when you want it to mop your hard floors. Not convenient at all, which is why we have robot vacuums anyway, right? Convenience?
Control is done via an app which is nice, but very minimal - only "vacuum and mop" or "vacuum only" and even then it's the *entire area* that the bot can get to. Which leads me to the next point, this botvac is only good for smaller areas as its dust bin fills up otherwise, and there is no included emptying station. So, you're left with decreasing collection on your floors as it goes on. I would estimate, depending on level of cleanliness, you could get max 1000sqft out of this thing - doing daily scheduled cleanings - before you're filling the dust bin and losing efficacy.

Worthwhile upgrade, app & device - NO MORE HUB!
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: bc3tech
Gen 2 of the Arlo doorbell provides quite a few nice upgrades over Gen 1:
* NO MORE SMART HUB! YAY!! Arlo finally figured out people know how to manage their own wifi and you're no longer tied to the abysmal coverage of their "Smart" Hub. Now that I don't have to use it, the connection to my doorbell is rock-solid through my mesh network. This means no more "scrambled" pictures coming through like with Gen1
* Upgraded picture quality - 2k picture quality means you have a larger field of view than with Gen1 and can also see more detail.
The doorbell, of course, is best used w/ Arlo's subscription which enables person/package recognition and is required if you get more than 3 Arlo devices up and running.
Additionally w/ the Gen2 doorbell, Arlo refreshed their app tremendously. So far I am liking the ability to create a custom dashboard w/ my own "widgets" (cameras, etc.) of various sizes so I can see what I want to see at a quick glance.

The other nice thing about the new Gen2 is it comes with Doorbell wire extensions - this was required for me as the wires to my doorbell are extremely brittle and I've barely any left after monkeying w/ the Gen1 doorbell more than a few times over the years.
My only complaint with this doorbell is that upgrading over Gen1 means new holes in your house; they didn't make it fit the same footprint/hole template as Gen1. This is a bit of a miss in my opinion as there's really no reason the holes couldn't have been in the same place, despite needing a new, larger, mounting bracket.

Amazing battery life, design/software downfalls
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: bc3tech
As a Pixel phone & Pixel Buds user, I was excited to get the Google Pixel watch and round out the trifecta. Initially I was skeptical of the look of the watch as I prefer a more "professional" looking wristpiece and this is clearly geared toward the fitness/health folks - especially with its obviously-close development with Fitbit. Nevertheless, the watch has impressed me in some ways while disappointing me in others.
To start, the crown is *amazingly* smooth and navigates the OS with ease. It's not hard to roll at all. However, the upper button is very hard to push effectively, and its behavior can't be customized (or at least not that I've found) - it's hard-wired to just launching a screen showing you your recent apps. On my previous Android Wear device, I had two additional buttons which could be customized and I enjoyed this functionality heavily. This is a miss in both design and software.
Google decided to get so far in bed with Fitbit here that they completely changed their charging mechanism; you're now left with a 4-pin connector that has only *one* proper orientation: coming out the side of the crown. This design is immeasurably poor for obvious reasons and takes us right back to the days of putting USB cables in upside down, etc. Definitely could have done better here. This also means all of your Pixel Watch (1) charging accessories no longer work. However I have found that chargers compatible with Fitbit Sensa will work for the Watch 2 (at least until the market shores up).

However I have found that chargers compatible with Fitbit Sensa will work for the Watch 2 (at least until the market shores up).
Lastly, Wear 3 has been a disappointment since release for me - so much so that I refused the upgrade on my previous Android watch so I could continue to have table-stakes functionality between watch and a phone: Shared Timers and Alarms. Instead, in Wear 3+, Google thought it best to completely separate these two things, so an alarm on your phone won't play on your watch (and vice versa) and a timer set on your watch won't play on your phone (and vice versa). Completely nonsensical IMO.
I have been impressed by the aftermarket selection of bands, however, and have already upgraded the OEM one to a metal link one which gives the watch a more professional look, which I enjoy.
If you can get past the design and software flaws, it's a great watch. The battery life is insane - lasting 48hr without a problem and charging lightning fast - so it's the first smartwatch I've been able to wear to bed to do sleep tracking! The sleep tracking metrics line up pretty close with what my Sleep Number bed reports, so its sensors are pretty decent.
The watch also comes with 6mo of FitBit Premium for free; while I'm not a health nut, I have enjoyed the ability to get stats like O2, heart rate, and - when sleeping - oxygen fluctuations that can point to signs of sleep apnea. Additionally, it also has built-in fall detection. I do wish Fitbit wouldn't have such a closed off ecosystem as I have a smart scale that I cannot link, unfortunately.

Impressive Customization and a Few Caveats
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: bc3tech
Overall, the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% is an impressive keyboard. Razer’s Orange tactile switches feel very responsive and sound great right out of the box. If you aren’t a fan of tactile switches, the keyboard comes with a keycap and switch puller which allows you to hot swap the original switches with both 3 and 5-pin switches. Since I’m not a fan of tactile switches, I swapped mine out for Gateron’s linear “Oil Kings.” They feel really smooth and sound pretty great on the BlackWidow as well. The only downside is that the Oil Kings block the RGB from the keyboard’s PCB, however the RGB on the media buttons and the side lighting still look great, nonetheless. The BlackWidow comes with a wrist rest that magnetically attaches to the keyboard. It’s exceptionally soft and feels comfortable to type on. The media keys are very convenient, and the roller is a nice touch for controlling volume whenever I need it. However, the mute button and roller can be remapped to do lots of other different actions using Razer Synapse. Even though the marketing boasts about customizability, if you want to mod the keyboard beyond keycaps and switches, be aware that taking the actual keyboard apart will void your warranty.

Modern twist on a medieval classic
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: bc3tech
Holy smokes - I hope you know what you're in for!
In case you just saw "hair removal" and thought this was your typical shaver, you are dead wrong.
This device whirls and twirls and RIPS YOUR HAIR OUT. It, no kidding, feels like a thousand tiny shocks as your roll it over your leg, arm, or - God forbid - anywhere else.

This device whirls and twirls and RIPS YOUR HAIR OUT. It, no kidding, feels like a thousand tiny shocks as your roll it over your leg, arm, or - God forbid - anywhere else.
If you're not up for a wild ride in the realm of hair removal, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you've got the guts and are ready to embrace the "no pain, no gain" mantra or you're the type who thrives on the adrenaline rush of regular tattoo sessions, then you're in for a treat with this epilator. Think of it as a pain-inflicting artist, sculpting your body, leaving nothing but that coveted baby-smooth skin behind.
The epilator's performance is nothing short of impressive. It doesn't just cut hair; it plucks it out from the root. Yes, it can be a bit shocking at first, but the results are worth it. Hair regrowth takes longer, and when it does, it's softer. Smooth legs and arms for days, and the upkeep is minimal.
Now, let's talk about ease of use. This isn't your "grab-and-go" device. It takes some practice to get the hang of it, and you may need a few passes to get all the hair. Not the quickest method out there, but with time and patience, you'll become a pro.
The pain factor is real. There's no sugarcoating it. It's like a rollercoaster of tiny zaps, especially if you're using it in sensitive areas. However, it's a pain that some of us willingly endure for the reward of hairless skin. It's all about your pain threshold and the desire for long-lasting results.
In conclusion, this epilator is not for the faint-hearted. It's a no-nonsense hair removal machine that delivers on its promise of smooth skin. If you're willing to brave the initial shock and put in some practice, you'll be rewarded with longer-lasting results and softer regrowth. Just remember, no pain, no gain – and in this case, the gain is silky-smooth skin that's worth the temporary discomfort. So, are you up for the challenge?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Clean hard floors and rugs with this BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multisurface wet/dry vacuum. The multisurface design vacuums and washes floors simultaneously, and the powerful battery offers up to 30 minutes of use per charge. This BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multisurface wet/dry vacuum includes a docking station that charges the battery and automatically cleans out dirt and debris.
do it have a fond so to speak to be able to get into corners and reach for ceiling molding cleaning?
You definitely won't be reaching up in the air w/ this thing. The weight + containers of water would make it very difficult/impossible/messy.

How cups of coffee can it brew at once?
One, unless you split the output of the two spouts across two containers; but I believe it's intended just to brew in to one cup. The setting to adjust the amt of coffee that comes out can be used to adjust from 1-3, but the manual doesn't state how many oz/ml this equates to. However, the "My Brew" capability lets you set the 3 setting to whatever amount you choose so, in effect, it can brew as large a cup as you can fit under the spout! Not sure how it works w/ grinding/replenishing the beans during the brew, though.

Does this come with free 7days of recording? Or is it like the 4k model where you have to pay for cloud after one year?
you get 7d onboard, and you can add external storage if you have a lot of devices.

Will this be able to fit into the K63 lapboard?
Highly doubtful, it's huge. But check the dimensions of it against your lapboard just to be sure.
