Well Optimized for a Specific Task (Gaming)
With the introduction of the new Intel Z890 Chipset, comes an industry wide slew of new motherboards to put it to use. The new crop of motherboards, range from the more basic, up to full blown powerhouses that squeeze every drop of performance out of the Z890 CPU family. The Asus TUF Gaming Z890-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard, lands somewhere in the middle of that group, leaning towards gaming and rugged dependability. The general look is somewhat industrial, but the presence of very large heat sinks and LOTS of legacy Sockets and Ports for those components, both older and newest, bodes well for its durability and future proofing. The ASUS TUF gaming Z890 PLUS Wi-Fi is a great choice for most gamers

All in 1 Without Any Compromise
on December 4, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
- As someone who has invested in air purifiers, space heaters, portable AC units… the idea of a 3-in-1 product was enticing and the Blueair ComfortPure delivered. I am also thrilled that this will be a year round staple, rather than having to rotate and store various heating and cooling devices through the seasons. Power and aesthetically pleasing. I appreciate that it is slick in design but doesn’t bring too much attention because I am not a fan of the clutter of electronics.
FEATURES:
- 3 features in 1 machine: purifying, cooling and heating
- Full rotating oscillation to cover your entire space
- Control via the device, app & remote control
- Set your routine and preferences by setting temps, times, and more.
- Precise. Choose your own angles, intensity, etc, that works for you
- Sleek, aestheic design
- 5 fan speeds
- Shows you what the air quality is in your room
INCLUDES:
- Remote
- App
PROS:
- Sleek, aesthetic design
- Speedy heat up and cool down
- Whether you are heating or cooling, you are always purifying. As someone who had multiple devices to do each of these things, the multifunctional/multitasking natural is a huge plus
- A plus that it can loop into my Alexa home system and be controlled via Alexa/Google Home
- Covers a pretty large open area (my living room + dining room zone)
- Easy set up via app
- Dimmable screen (good for when using it at night/in sleeping area)
- Has helped with my dust and pet dander allergies
- Eco mode option

- On max speed, it can be a little loud for some, but I don’t mind it since it sounds like more a white noise, especially at night.

A Relatively Powerful yet Compact System
on November 18, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
My wife travels frequently giving seminars and has to be very presentable at the front of the room while going from city to city in one week. For her birthday this year, I thought I would get her a hair care system that wasn’t as bulky or heavy as the one she uses at home. I’m familiar with Shark products, so I decided to stick with that brand. After she used it a couple of times, I asked her for an honest opinion. The general reply I got, was that it does a good job considering its weight and size. Both are very important when traveling between multiple cities and setting it up in various hotels. It’s good at drying hair but can be noticeably noisy at the high settings. It comes with all the expected attachments and each one of them functions well from drying to styling to curling.
FEATURES:
· Main body rotates/swivels from drier to styler.
· Length of A/C Cord, 8 feet
· Includes “Finishing Tool” to add a high-gloss shine after drying.
· Styles wet hair with no heat damage.
· Re-styles dry hair without re-washing.
· Hi velocity flow for drying with less heat.
· Styling Concentrator for spot air styling where you want it.
· Measures and regulates output temperature 1000 times per second so it never exceeds 230 Degrees F.
· 1.25 inch diameter Auto-wrap Curlers.
· 2-year Limited Warranty

· Attachments give lots of versatility.
· Can take you from quite wet to properly dried hair without switching devices.
· Attachments give lots of versatility.
· Can take you from quite wet to properly dried hair without switching devices.
CONS:
- Of course you can’t dry without heat, but use with care. Even with what they call “Scalp Shield”, it gets pretty hot at Hi settings. Use common sense and you should be OK.
- Quite noisy at Hi fan settings. Could wake some people up in a small dorm.
- I wish it came with a large Diffuser and a carrying case.

CONCLUSION:
I consider it to be a travel system. In this case, low weight and bulk, but good performance was very important and under those criteria, it does very well.

More Powerful with Each Version
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
Amateur photography is an enjoyable at worldwide hobby. This is a program suited for good hobby use. It’s fun to take regular casual pictures and turn them into a piece of art or memes, with the AI power of program like this. Another important but unappreciated feature of amateur photography is its usefulness in the future for helping historians and genealogists to find out what made the past tick. If this kind of entry-level program causes more people to tag their photos and share them with family members for future use, it’s done its job.
FEATURES:
· A Powerful AI works in the background preparing your files for affects you might want to use.
· Displayed interface is suited for simpler tasks and needs of more casual users.
· Slight motion can be added to still photos for interesting displays.
· AI makes it simple and quick to remove objects from photos
· Elements of multiple photos can be combined into one photo.
· The AI makes it easy to change the color of any object in the original photo.
· Has features to prepare your photos for ideal display in web and mobile apps.
· Apparent Depth of Field can be altered easily with the help of AI
· Textures can be added to photos.
· Create Photo Reels and collages of your photo collections

CONS:
- After purchase, your access to this program will end after 3 years. Never ending subscription models are a reliable source of income for corporations, but bad for consumers in my opinion.
- Hard to get used to by those only familiar with versions of Adobe Elements from 10 or more years ago.

CONCLUSION:
Our photos often represent our family history. In the recent past family photos were either stored in carefully organized and labeled photo albums, or stuffed into a shoe box stored in the back of a closet. Either of these were too often lost in a fire or flood. We now have digital versions of our photos stored on some company’s cloud. The good news is, that they are not subject to the problems that can occur to physical media in a house, but they still need to be organized. Programs like Photoshop Elements 2025 have many features that make the preservation, organizing and spreading of your family history much easier and therefore likely to occur. This version of Elements is more for the amateur than it is for the professional, but there is an important need for that kind of program.

A Specialized Cleaning System
on October 17, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
The Shark StainStriker HairPro Pet has been a godsend for our household. Having an elderly cat and small children running around, our furniture and carpeting take a beating. I’ve used upholstery cleaning products before, and even just a spray and some elbow grease to clean up messes, but it has come to the point where it just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Enter the StainStriker, and Strike is does! The unit is very easy to use, instructions are clear, and it does not have a billion individual pieces like some units do. It has three removable pieces; the main input tank, the secondary input tank for cleaning fluids and the outflow tank. All of them come free easily with a swift pull and reattach just as easily. The suction is strong and the sprayer releases just the right amount of cleaner, so it doesn’t completely soak your upholstery. The used water was almost black, which shows how much dirt it truly pulls up. The couch definitely smelled fresher afterwards! The unit wraps up nice and compact, so it is easy to tuck away in our front closet. It’s much easier to use in small spaces than the large cumbersome upright models.
FEATURES:
· Comes with unique heads for specific stains
· Length of A/C Cord, 12 feet
· Length of Hose, 4.5 feet
· “Hairpro” technology designed to pick up deeply embedded strands of hair
· Focus is on stain removal, using dual-activated wet solutions. Comes with two sample solutions.
· Clears Stubborn Odors like smoke and pet urine
· Extremely high suction power
· Lightweight and compact. Can be conveniently stored away for later quick access.
· Has large storage tank for quickly picking up accidental spills.
· 3-year Limited Warranty

· Easy to deploy.
· Extremely high suction power. Really lifts and deep cleans whatever you’re cleaning.
· Easy to deploy.
CONS:
- Extremely high suction power. Yes, this “PRO” can also be a “CON”. If you’re not reasonably careful, this suction and the scrubbing brushes can dislodge fibers from delicate fancy carpets and actually create a thin spot.
- I wish it came with a mounting bracket of some sort, so I could mount it on the closet wall near the door instead of bending down to search for it on the cluttered floor.

CONCLUSION:
Unlike tedious general whole carpet cleaning, the Shark StainStriker is targeted at messes that MUST be cleaned up. It’s ALMOST fun to see the Before-During-and-After results as they occur, sort of like Pressure Washing. I’m ALMOST looking forward to pulling it out again and do some serious deep cleaning.

Is your Wife Starting to Mumble like Mine Did?
on August 5, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
When my friends and I got together for a game of cards in the past few years, I began to notice that the topic of Wife Mumbling (instead of speaking clearly like she used to), began to come up more and more frequently. Turns out, IT WAS US! Now days, (when we’re desperate for a new topic), conversations about hearing aids and hearing test results have started. Because we live in a rural area rather far from services that most people take for granted, the issue of how long and time consuming a drive to an audiologist is. Because I was (for the first time in my life), curious about hearing aids, the sight of a Jabra Hearing-Aid being included in the Best Buy website caught my eye. Because the whole issue of hearing loss starts with hearing tests, I envisioned the old days of sitting in a sound proof booth with an audiologist fiddling with buttons and dials as I lifted my finger when I could hear the various frequency and loudness tones. I was very skeptical of the idea of ordering hearing aids for delivery and then getting a genuine hearing test and professional consultation online.
It works though. Here’s how they do it. First, they ship the hearing aids to you with a generic frequency setup that allows you to get used to the fit and feel. You’ll then establish an online account, so you can communicate with them. They had several good videos that you’ll be able to access to answer general questions and get ready for the hearing test. While you’re online in your account, you’ll see a button that says “Take Hearing Test” when you're ready. You don’t need any human contact to do this. It’s available to you 24/7. With a good set of earphones (normally used to listen to online music), I simply pressed the “Take Hearing Test” button. Then at my own pace, I was prompted to press a tone/frequency button and press Yes if I could hear a tone, and No if I couldn’t. At first, I couldn’t hear anything, but then as the frequency was lowered each time, I was eventually able to press Yes. It went very smoothly. After a couple of days, I received an email telling me my test had been evaluated. A Zoom call with the audiologist was scheduled. Before that meeting, they changed the frequency settings on my hearing aids with an over-the-air update. One morning I noticed immediately that it had changed, as everything sounded crisper. My App screen changed too, so I could switch back between the new settings and the original, as many times as I wanted. Another call was scheduled with my assigned audiologist, who I had Zoom called earlier. We discussed what their findings were, what they did, and what my feelings good or bad were about the changes. They did not rush me and thoroughly answered all my questions and offered suggestions that didn’t occur to me at first. For example, they original package had included a measuring device which you hold to your ear while you have the hearing-aid installed. You then position yourself so the audiologist can see it using your phone or laptop’s camera. After viewing the fit, the audiologist recommended and sent at no charge, two microphone sections with longer wires, so that the microphone went into my ear deeper and much more securely. They included these at no charge. They also encouraged contacting them anytime during their working hours. They will help you get the best fit and results.
I’ve read other reviews by people complaining about the tininess of the sound produced. You need to remember that these are not music listening devices. What these do is amplify the specific frequencies your ears no longer hear well. Suddenly you’ll notice all of the high frequencies you haven’t heard for years. You’ll hear noises like people jiggling keys, stacking chips at the card table, the sound of air conditioners, sirens, screaming jet engines and yes, relatively unpleasant high-pitched voices compared to how they sounded when everything was low frequency and slightly muffled. The audiologist will warn you that you have to get used to it and give the hearing-aids a chance to do their intended job. Wearing hearing aids is not like hearing beautiful music through high end earbuds or earphones. It is going to make you hear sounds you haven’t heard in years and it will sound relatively high pitched. Because I’m not completely acclimatized to my Jabras, I must admit that at the end of the day, if nobody else is around that I have to understand and listen to, I will remove them and put them back on their charger, so I am once again surrounded by that lower frequency muffled sound that is much less jarring. The real world is sometimes unpleasantly noisy. However, the good news is that suddenly my wife has stopped mumbling so much! I guess that’s makes it all worth it

Then at my own pace, I was prompted to press a tone/frequency button and press Yes if I could hear a tone, and No if I couldn’t. At first, I couldn’t hear anything, but then as the frequency was lowered each time, I was eventually able to press Yes. It went very smoothly. After a couple of days, I received an email telling me my test had been evaluated. A Zoom call with the audiologist was scheduled. Before that meeting, they changed the frequency settings on my hearing aids with an over-the-air update. One morning I noticed immediately that it had changed, as everything sounded crisper. My App screen changed too, so I could switch back between the new settings and the original, as many times as I wanted. Another call was scheduled with my assigned audiologist, who I had Zoom called earlier. We discussed what their findings were, what they did, and what my feelings good or bad were about the changes. They did not rush me and thoroughly answered all my questions and offered suggestions that didn’t occur to me at first. For example, they original package had included a measuring device which you hold to your ear while you have the hearing-aid installed. You then position yourself so the audiologist can see it using your phone or laptop’s camera. After viewing the fit, the audiologist recommended and sent at no charge, two microphone sections with longer wires, so that the microphone went into my ear deeper and much more securely. They included these at no charge. They also encouraged contacting them anytime during their working hours. They will help you get the best fit and results.
I’ve read other reviews by people complaining about the tininess of the sound produced. You need to remember that these are not music listening devices. What these do is amplify the specific frequencies your ears no longer hear well. Suddenly you’ll notice all of the high frequencies you haven’t heard for years. You’ll hear noises like people jiggling keys, stacking chips at the card table, the sound of air conditioners, sirens, screaming jet engines and yes, relatively unpleasant high-pitched voices compared to how they sounded when everything was low frequency and slightly muffled. The audiologist will warn you that you have to get used to it and give the hearing-aids a chance to do their intended job. Wearing hearing aids is not like hearing beautiful music through high end earbuds or earphones. It is going to make you hear sounds you haven’t heard in years and it will sound relatively high pitched. Because I’m not completely acclimatized to my Jabras, I must admit that at the end of the day, if nobody else is around that I have to understand and listen to, I will remove them and put them back on their charger, so I am once again surrounded by that lower frequency muffled sound that is much less jarring. The real world is sometimes unpleasantly noisy. However, the good news is that suddenly my wife has stopped mumbling so much! I guess that’s makes it all worth it

CONCLUSION:
Most of us will face hearing loss as we get older. The Risk-free 100-day free trial makes the Jabra 500 a choice to at least give hearing aids a try. At the very least, with the results of a “all’s good” hearing test, you can prove to your wife once and for all that she really IS Mumbling 😉.

Running Costs:
As with many laser printers, the cost per page can be higher compared to inkjet printers, especially for color prints. However, this is common among laser printers and expected for the quality they deliver.

User Interface:
Some of my staff found the touchscreen interface a bit small and less intuitive compared to higher-end models. Navigation through menus could be improved for better user experience.

Overall Impression:
The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw is a solid choice for small offices like mine needing reliable color printing and multifunction capabilities. It excels in print quality and speed, though it may not be the most compact or cost-effective option in terms of running costs. If your office requires consistent color prints and multifunctionality without the need for ultra-high print volumes, this printer would be a suitable investment. Always consider your specific needs regarding print volume, space, and budget before making a final decision.

Dive headfirst into one of the best gaming laptop experiences on Windows 11. The ROG Zephyrus G16 packs a 10-core Intel Core i7-13620H CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU into a super thin gaming laptop. Enjoy a fast 165Hz refresh rate, 16GB of RAM, and 512 GB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage all wrapped in a light 4.41 lbs chassis. The future is thin and light.
Posted by: Daddio
Initial Impressions:
It can handle games better than my desktop. This is a portable gaming laptop with a sleek look and a lot of power behind it.
Features / Specs:
● Screen: 16" FHD, 165Hz
● Processor: Intel 13th Gen Core i7
● Memory: 16GB
● Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
● Storage: 512GB SSD
● Color: Eclipse Gray

● Processor: Intel 13th Gen Core i7
● Memory: 16GB
● Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
● Storage: 512GB SSD
● Color: Eclipse Gray
Performance:
This laptop is a powerhouse. Whether you're diving into long gaming sessions or tackling heavy-duty tasks, the combination of the Intel 13th Gen Core i7 and RTX 4070 GPU makes everything run smoothly.
Display:
For me, the 16-inch Full HD screen is a great size to game and watch videos on. The colors pop and the 165Hz refresh rate is great for any fast-paced game. It’s smooth and responsive, but it's not very bright. It also doesn’t dim as low as I would like.
Design:
I like the Eclipse Gray finish and the dotted design. It looks sleek, subtle and stylish without screaming "gamer". Plus, it's surprisingly light and thin for such a powerhouse. Small enough to toss in a medium sized bag and take anywhere.
Features:
The keyboard comes with customizable RGB lighting, which adds a fun touch. It's got all the ports you need: HDMI, 2x USB-A, 2x USB-C, Headphone Jack, Ethernet port, and power lock. The cooling system keeps everything running cool, even during long gaming sessions, but it does create a bit of noise (not much of a problem to me)
Battery Life:
For a gaming laptop, the battery life is pretty decent—around 8 hours depending on what you're doing. It's enough to get through a day of work or school with some gaming breaks in between, though you'll want to plug in for those longer gaming sessions.
Pros:
● Powerful Intel 13th Gen Core i7 processor
● NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU
● Good looking 165Hz refresh rate display
● Sleek design
● Portable enough to bring in a bag
● Customizable RGB keyboard
● The track-pad feels smooth to glide on.
● The screen opens up around 180 degrees, basically standing vertically straight up.

● The screen opens up around 180 degrees, basically standing vertically straight up.
Cons:
● Heavy gaming use battery life could stand to be longer.
● Fan can be noisy.
● The keyboard feels a bit squishy. I personally prefer mechanical keyboards.
● The track-pad tactile press needs a lot of force to use, but there is also the touch press.

● The track-pad tactile press needs a lot of force to use, but there is also the touch press.
Extra Details:
● I have the M1 16” Mac Book pro and this is about the same weight and size, just a little bit thicker.
● The Charging port is on the middle-left side. I would prefer to have the port more towards the back to have less wire hanging out.
● The screen brightness is decent, but I wish it could dim further down for dark space operation.
● Comes with a decent but bulky 240W charger.

Wish-list:
● Higher resolution screen / OLED / HDR
● Quieter Fans
● Larger internal SSD space, (at least 1TB).

● Larger internal SSD space, (at least 1TB).
General Thoughts: (overall)
If you consider yourself a gamer and want a laptop that delivers powerful performance without sacrificing style or portability, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a great choice. It’s an investment, but you're getting premium features and performance that can handle anything you throw at it. This can keep you gaming happily for years to come.

Noise Canceling Headphones with Unique Features
on June 8, 2024
Posted by: Daddio
With more of us working from home, we find ourselves in a make-shift “Office” trying to communicate via Video Chat over a Laptop with a washing machine or kids nearby. This makes Noise Cancelling Headphones with Bluetooth connection like the Sonos 5024DG Ace model, a real growing consumer electronics segment. They can also help preserve our hearing when using noisy lawnmowers and other yard equipment. I ran my riding mower with the Ace and found that the noise cancelling was better than my older high-end noise cancelling headphones. However, to stand-out in this crowded segment, Sonos has given this headphone a feature I’ve never experienced before. After set-up (IF you own an iPhone), the simple press of a button instantly pairs this headphone with my Sonos Arc Home Theater Sound-bar attached to my friend’s TV. The Arc sound-bar is immediately silenced, cancelling the noises from the action movie for other family members. The Arc soundbar and the Ace headphones have sensors that compliment each other for advanced features like head tracking for more realistic Surround Sound immersion. I’ve seen other reviews that criticize the lack of audio “Punch” from the Sonos Ace. I listen mostly to podcasts with mostly speech. I find the emphasis on more clear neutral sound enhances my kind of listening as I cut the grass.
Features:
- 30 hours of Noise Cancelling use per charge.
- Weight 11 ounces
- Hands Free Phone Calls.
- Physical Volume and other controls on headset.
- Bluetooth 5.4 codecs mean extended battery life
- 30 hours of Noise Cancelling use per charge.
- Weight 11 ounces
- Hands Free Phone Calls.
- Physical Volume and other controls on headset.
- Bluetooth 5.4 codecs mean extended battery life
PROS:
- Excellent Noise Cancelling performance (better than my big brand name units)
- Mechanical buttons, not touch type. (Easier to access and use by feel)
- Good Battery Life (30 hrs. of Noise Cancelling use claimed)
- Mechanical buttons, not touch type. (Easier to access and use by feel)
- Good Battery Life (30 hrs. of Noise Cancelling use claimed)
CONS:
- No AC Charger Included
- Ear-cups Interior Space is Relatively Small which cramps my ears after extended use.
- Apple-centric design means Android-phone users can’t access all Ace- Headphone to Arc-soundbar connection features
- No AC Charger Included
- Ear-cups Interior Space is Relatively Small which cramps my ears after extended use.
- Apple-centric design means Android-phone users can’t access all Ace- Headphone to Arc-soundbar connection features
Conclusion:
The Sonos Ace noise cancelling headphones are overall a “good” set audio wise, but the features that make it a functioning parts of the large Sonos audio family make it unique.

Does it work with a i Robot clean base?
Yes, it will after you add an evacuation port to the i6. That plastic piece comes in the box when you buy the charge base that sucks the dirt out of the i6's chamber when it docks to re-charge.

Does this include virtual wall?
Yes, after you send it out for the first-time to map all of the rooms, you can look at the map on your phone app. There you can create virtual barriers that the i6 will not cross. You can also name the rooms and create square "Do-not-go" zones in any of the rooms or halls. With this information you can instruct the i6 to clean just one or more of the rooms or throw-rugs you named and avoid the rest of the rooms.

Can the vacuum mop??
No, the i6 does a good job, but it's just a vacuum for hardwood/tile floors and carpet. Roomba has another model that squirts water on dirt and pulls it up with a "Swiffer" like disposable pad. You can see it on their website.

Would this work in a house with a guinea pig? I.e. be able to pick up poop and some hay (that’d be a huge bonus)
I owned a guinea pig MANY years ago so I'm sure it will pick up its poop as long as it's normal (for a guinea pig) and not diarrhea. The hay is another matter. As you can imagine, it all depends on the length and consistency of the hay. If it's too long or piled too high, almost no household vacuum can take stiff hay in. In this case, if the hay is relatively short (up to 1.5" or so), it should pick it up.

Do you have to have internet for it to work?
Technically it will vacuum without an internet connection, but it will never create a map of your floor plan or cover the rooms logically. Instead, it will bounce from wall to wall like a billiard ball until it runs down its battery. You can do this to cover a room or floor of your house that you don't intend to do again, but you would be wasting all of the advanced features this model has to offer.

Lighten household chores with this SHARK~ ION~ vacuum system. The lithium-ion battery supplies a long-lasting charge, and the 0.66-quart dust cup and HEPA filter collect dirt, hair, and dander to prevent allergen buildup. This SHARK~ ION~ vacuum system comes with a built-in power vacuum to help with those extra cleaning jobs.
Does this one map a grid to use each time like the robot one? Thanks
No. The Shark Ion is the less complicated type of Robo Vac that uses the Billiard Ball Navigation method where it goes more or less in a straight line until it bumps into something. The "Map a Grid" type has advantages, but they are larger, more expensive and if the home's entire floor plan doesn't have really good Wi-Fi coverage, it can get lost an confused in a far back corner of the house. I have both types and they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
