WD USB 3.2 3GB Ext XBOX-X drive
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
Hooked the drive up via an included 3.2 ready cable. XBOX then formatted the drive to it's specification (several partitions for game files that have to be shelled/sorted out to folders for XBOX to access).
Do not format this drive on a computer first as it is not needed. Formatting prior to hooking the drive to your XBOX could create unneeded drive folders and possibly wasted space. If you did format make sure it is all one drive space in Command prompt by doing a clean, format, etc.
Method 2. Run CMD to initialize HDD or SSD
If you have important data in your not initialized disk, please do remember to backup data into another safe disk or external storage device. CMD command may erase all data on your disk which you want to initialize.
1. Press Win+R and type: diskpart and hit "Enter".
2. Type: list disk and hit "Enter".
3. Type: select disk G and hit "Enter". (G shall be the drive letter of your not initialized disk.)
4. Type: clean and hit "Enter".
5. Type: convert gpt or convert mbr and hit "Enter".
6. Type: create partition primary and hit "Enter".
7. Type: format quick fs=ntfs and hit "Enter".
8. Type: assign and hit "Enter"
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
clean
exit
Tested both X and S and the X version transferred large files quicker from another external XBOX drive without any issue. Presently I am running 3 drives on each Xbox.
XBOX-S and X can have a total of at least 3 drives.
Very nice metal case and to me the 3TB version is about the right size for an external drive. It is compact yet large enough to meet a real gamers needs.

Typical excelleant shaver from Philips
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
This is at least my 20th shaver in 40+ years from Philips. I have always preferred the triple header with trimmer and cord for charging. This one charged in 20 minutes out of the box (Red to charge, solid green when charged, and then light timed out). Shaved like a new sharp one (hello), quiet, excellent trimmer function, and a two year warranty.
Color was nice also.
Quality made in the Netherlands. WOW! Was not expecting that at all!!!!!!!! Nice country to visit BTW!

Charger for all connections
on October 1, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
This is a ultra heavy duty charger that passes a charging current over USB C (47 watts) and standard USB A (12 watt) connections. I used the unit to charge over USB, micro USB, and mini USB with adapters.
The very heavy duty long USB C cable is designed to carry 47 Watts easily.
You can also use an adapter on the USB C charger port and pass current over other USB connections with certified adapters if you device and cable can handle the 47 watts. Not recommended unless you know what you are doing and have checked the specifications of the device and adapters being used. The USB C has a max output of 3 amps. The C port is for charging laptops and devices needing 47 watts or less. Perfect power brick for a laptop with a C port for power.

Aluminum housing is durable and secure. The length of the cable allows front connection and then to the rear of your monitor. USB C Gen 3 rated video only ports. My Samsung spin had the correct connection and passed the video without any issues.

Heavy duty/quality switch
on September 15, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
Upfront I am a certified electrical instructor for the state I live.
The good is that it works and is a quality switch so far. Wish the mounting part for the switch was metal where the screws go into the box as a lot of pressure can be put on the switch during the attachment phase to the box. I was careful to push the wires all the way into the back of the box with some lineman's pliers.
Installation was interesting as a few steps were missing in the connect part.
Also box fill is huge.
I have deep boxes but the 3 way switch and house wires are a full box fill.
I used smaller wire nuts and attempted to reduce where I could, but never shorten your house wires as they cannot be made longer at a later date without great difficulty and creating other issues.
The app works but I am still working on how to make this show up in my Google Home App. No instructions of any kind for the Google App which is soon to be the master app for most devices.
WeMo immediately went into update firmware mode after everything was connected.
I like the ability to schedule lights on and off while away is a great security feature. Also if you have a wireless receptacle you could put a boom box on it and turn it up full blast.
I will most likely get a few two way units to finish up my remote projects.

Veratile blender

Used my unit to make spaghetti sauce for the first trial run.
Whole tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions, spices, and garlic.
Ground it all up to a milky slurry and cooked it on slower simmer for one hour. Delicious.
Also used this to chop left over nuts for banana nut bread.

Heavy duty/quality coffee maker
on August 30, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
Limited on pictures for reviews!
This is a quiet and fast coffee maker and will take a #4 paper filter with ease. A paper filter (not included) allows for the easy removal of coffee grounds and transfer to the garbage can. You can use the included gold tone metal filter as desired that works as advertised.
Timer works but I mainly use the manual options. Unit has lighted display buttons to tell you what the pot is doing at all times.
Brewing coil does not shut off until the drop of water is forced out of the chamber.
The warmer off feature is nice so you can walk away from the pot and never worry about it being on.
The removable coffee reservoir is a game changer. I can go VFR direct to the refrigerator filtered water dispenser and fill it to the 10 cup point, If you have a taller dispenser you fill will vary. To fill mine to 12 cups I needed to manually add two cups.
There are no cup markers on the carafe.
The carafe does not leak when pouring. First pot that has not leaked for any brand.
All parts to this product are sturdy and well built and were a welcome replacement to my $14 coffee maker.
At the advertised price point this is worth the few extra dollars to get a unit that is not messy and user friendly.
Excellent product.

Heavy duty plug in vacuum
on August 22, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
This is by far the best carpet vacuum I have had in years/since the bag unit days.
Very heavy unit that will be difficult for a frail person to use but fine for everyone else.
All my battery operated and newer corded units will not clean carpet other than pick up loose stuff on the top. This unit will suck the chrome off a 59 Cadillac bumper.
My home office are looks great and the canister is full of dirt.
My first Shark and it is a great white shark at that.
Only con is weight but it is worth it to get something that does a great job at what it supposed to do.
Quality / heavy duty unit.

Protect your iPhone XR from drops of up to 10 feet with this Speck Presidio Grip case. The inner IMPACTIUM lining absorbs shock, and the polycarbonate exterior deflects shock. This Speck Presidio Grip case has angled rubber ridges that offer a nonslip grip to help prevent the device from sliding off surfaces, and the raised edges help protect the screen when it's facing down.

Protects corners better than my old one
on August 19, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
XR case review!
My old clear XR case was hard plastic and cracked on a short drop.
This case has a hard core and a softer outer layer that absorbs impacts and protects the XR. The only thing it will not protect is a face drop on a uneven surface. Only a wallet case will fully protect the front face of the phone,
Sturdy nice looking product.

Posted by: ETP1

Checked to be sure it was formatted to NFTS, did a drive error check, hooked it up to my Xbox, Xbox formatted drive, then backed up all games as well as the system.
Small case as to make this a nice external storage game drive.
XBOX one S and X can now accept up to 3 external drives.
Very nice well built unit,

Good set - after adjustments
By Josie1
This was my first LED TV purchase (the one it was replacing was a plasma set). I bought based on positive online reviews and Best Buy in-store demo.
It is a very good set, however, it takes some tweaking to get there. It ships out of the box with the color set very blue and the contrast very high. The Geek Squad guy who set it up goosed the picture to even more unnatural settings before leaving. Very significantly, the anti-jitter motion setting (I later found out this is known as the Soap Opera Effect) was set to full-on high, which lead to a very disorienting "pan and scan" sensation while watching. It took me a better part of a week to find the settings to bring the set into a natural picture.
So...a good set. I'm happy with it. But take some time and adjust it, or you won't be happy with it. And do NOT take the recommendation of the Geek Squad guy...he'll only make things worse.
HDR mode
December 25, 2016
I set all my inputs the HDR mode for better color. Could you post all your settings for us.
Many thanks,

Your teammate shouts the location of a foe ~ a sniper, located on the rooftop in the shadows. You enter the building's stairwell, silent and stealthy. Reaching the roof, you catch the enemy gunner off guard, and before he can react, you eliminate the threat, telling your partners the location is safe and secure.Allow your team to gain the upper hand by talking with friends and allies using this Wired Chat Headset for PlayStation 3. Speak into the noise-reducing microphone to give split-second orders. Adjust the easy-to-reach in-line volume and mute controls to a desired listening level. The key to victory is to keep your team on the same page ~ use this headset and stay a step ahead of your enemy.
 

What is the trick to get sound out of a PS3 through these? I hooked it up by nothing. Thanks,

It will never work for sound/only chat. You could add a stereo amp and use a regular headset but this head set is useless on a PS3. Works on a PC BTW.
