Good keyboard, but also a missed opportunity
on November 3, 2019

The Logitech K580 is an excellent keyboard, but it's also a bit of a missed opportunity.
I'm a big fan of hooking my chromebook up to my TV and using it to stream video or type on a larger screen. I thought this keyboard would make this a much more convenient experience.
I was partially right.
The keyboard is a joy to type on, and the build quality feels great. The Chrome OS specific keys all work very well, and I have no complaints whatsoever . . . except for one.
They should have included a touch pad.
Given the fact that there are very few Chrome OS devices that would require a full-time, separate keyboard (i.e. not laptops) it makes sense that most users would want to use this only occasionally with a television or other display. A touch pad would made this much more convenient.
As it is, having to carry around a separate Bluetooth mouse is just one more thing to keep track of.
Aside from that, this is an excellent keyboard.

I’m a Skullcandy fanboy.
I’ve used multiple Skullcandy headphones and speakers over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. That trend continues with these Sesh ear buds. These things are AWESOME.
Connecting them to my phone was a quick and easy process. The instruction sheet that comes with the ear buds is very thorough. Note that each ear bud only has a single button on it, and all of the features are controlled by either pressing the left or right button or by pressing a series of presses (i.e. left ear bud twice to lower volume and right ear bud twice to raise the volume). Remembering all of the button combinations will take time, but I’m confident that it will become second nature eventually.
The buds themselves fit into the ear a little unusually. The bulk of the ear bud actually points straight up. It nestles nicely enough in my ear canal, but I kept feeling like gravity was trying to drag them out. This caused a little bit of ear fatigue after wearing them for three hours straight.
The battery life is superb. I wore them for four hours and they were still going strong when I dropped them into the charging case before lunch.
Speaking of the charging case, it has four LED lights on it to indicate how much of a charge it holds. I did note that the lights seemed to instantly blink off every time I dropped the ear buds in, so I don’t know how reliable the indicators actually are. That is to say that I would start with 4 lights, drop my ear buds in, and then seconds later it would only show 3 lights when I checked the charge. I seriously doubt that it’s charging the ear buds THAT quickly, but it’s still nice to have some indication of how much charge I have on hand (and to their credit, the case does charge VERY quickly. I went from half a charge to a full charge in less than an hour).
The sound quality is great for my needs. These don’t have active noise cancellation, but they seal in the ear nicely enough to block out most ambient noise.
I’m very happy with these and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Device is good, manual is truly awful.
on October 26, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
The Breville Combi Wave is a pretty good device, but the instruction manual is somewhat lacking.
Pages 2-12 of the instruction manual consists of a confusing array of dire warnings. I’m naturally a cautious person, and this caused me a fair amount of worry. The manual also uses the term “microwave” interchangeably to describe both the cooking mode and the machine itself. It’s never entirely clear which one they’re referring to.
Given the nature of the device (both a microwave AND an oven), I’d hoped for clear cut direction on when you can and can’t use metal inside of it. Unfortunately, the manual isn’t very clear on that at all.
The only thing I can safely say is that you can apparently use the crisper pan in the modes that use both the microwave and the convection oven (surprising given its metal legs and metal [ceramic?] surface).
The manual also fails to address the orange feet on the trivet. It’s not clear if these are heat safe and intended to remain on the trivet or if they were just included for protection during shipping. I'm hesitant to use this in oven mode until I get some clarification on that.
The device itself appears to work very well. I used it to air fry some french fries (made from actual potatoes), microwave vegetables, and to make breakfast sandwiches; and it worked without any issues whatsoever.
I was going to bake a cake in it, but given the lack of direction regarding the feet on the trivet and whether metal bakeware is safe to use in it (I’m assuming that it probably is, but it’s not at all clear from the manual), I’m waiting for further clarification from Best Buy / Breville before I take that risk.
Speaking of risks, this device does have a child lock to prevent children and the elderly from inadvertently causing damage with it. This is probably a good thing given the potential for damage this device presents.
I’d cautiously recommend this device if you’re fairly tech savvy and cautious in the kitchen, but Breville desperately needs to revise this manual. It’s really quite bad. If the manual were better, I would probably be very impressed with this device. As it is, I would quite strongly NOT recommend this device for the elderly or anyone who isn’t good with technology.

Good mouse once you update driver
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WITH THIS MOUSE, install the "Logitech G Hub" software and immediately update the driver.
When I first plugged this mouse in, I was absolutely horrified by how badly it worked. Moving the mouse across the full length of my mouse pad barely caused the cursor on my screen to move an inch.
Upon downloading the software though, I was immediately prompted to install an update.
The change was dramatic.
The mouse is much more responsive now, and the software gives all sorts of options for remapping buttons and programming macros.
The mouse itself is a little lighter and more "plasticky" than I was expecting, but the shape is very comfortable in the hand.
I'm very pleased with this mouse and would recommend it to a friend.

Functional cable with decent build quality

from Elgin, IL
This platinum cable worked well enough for my needs.
I got it to hookup my USB-C enabled Chromebook to my TV. It should be noted that it didn't work at first, and I had to unplug the cable from my Chromebook and then plug it back in for it to recognize it.
The cable seems sturdy, and I don't anticipate it breaking any time soon.
The length is adequate, but I wish it was maybe two feet longer for my particular needs.
All in all, I'm satisfied with this cable.

Functional, but somewhat impractical
on September 29, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I wasn't impressed by this charger.
They made a poor design choice by having so much happening within the power block. I found that it was too heavy to actually stay in the wall.
I know, I really should be plugging this into a surge protector, but I travel around a lot, and I often have to plug my laptop into whatever outlet is handy.
I tried a variety of outlets both out and about and at home, and I couldn't get this charger to actually stay in any of them for more than five minutes. No sooner would I get comfortable, then the weight of the charging block would cause the thing to pop right out of the wall.
Plugging it into a surge protector on my floor worked well enough since gravity isn't an issue then, but seeing as how I picked this up for use when I travel, it doesn't really fit my needs at all.
I wouldn't recommend this product.

GREAT multi-function device
on September 29, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
This thing is terrific.
I just moved into a place that didn't some with an oven, and I've been making do with a hot plate, a microwave, and an electric grill for the past month while I recoup my finances from my move. I got this primarily for baking, but I've quickly discovered that it's able to do so much more.
This Chefman can: Bake, Convection Bake, Broil, Convection Broil, and Air Fry.
I'd never used a convection oven before, and I was wowed by how quickly it cooked (side note: if using convection bake, you'll need to adjust cooking times and/or temperatures. It cooks MUCH faster at a much lower heat. I made au gratin potatoes, and the directions said to cook for 25 minutes, and they were done in about 15).
The first use was a little scary as it released an awful smell and small amounts of smoke starting coming from the machine. Be careful, but DON'T PANIC. Later uses I did not encounter this at all.
I like the fact that the unit automatically turns off once the timer hits zero. The one drawback to this is that you're limited to a maximum of 1 hour for cooking.
The unit was large enough to easily fit my glass casserole dish, and I'm anticipating using this for baking cookies and small cakes in the near future.
The air fry function is great. I chopped up a potato, lightly tossed it in olive oil with some salt and pepper, and 40 minutes later I have french fries.
I really can't recommend this oven enough. It's absolutely awesome.

I think it's working?
on September 17, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
As a kid, I never had any issues with allergies. Once I started getting older though, allergies very much became a thing. I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but the IQAir filter does seem to help some.
The box the filter came in was enormous. I drive a small car, and I had to pick it up from my local FedEx store. I could just barely fit it in my back seat.
The filter was very easy to setup. Lie the box on its side, open the top, remove the styrofoam with the casters and paperwork, and pull the filter out by the handle.
I will warn you that the handle is plastic and doesn't feel terribly stable. Also, the two side pieces are plastic and kind of "clipped" into place. I knocked the one ajar when removing the filter and had to snap it back into place.
The caster rails just clip into place along the bottom, and the casters themselves have to be smashed onto little plastic pegs protruding from the rails until they click (this was the hardest part of the whole setup process).
The filter offers variable fan speeds ranging from 1-6. I found 1-3 were fairly quiet and easy to tune out. Above 3, the filter becomes quite loud and distracting.
The filter advertises that it's able to filter out ultra-fine particle (UFPs). This was another big selling point for me as I have a small 3D printer, and there has been a lot of stuff in the news lately about the dangers of UFPs from these types of devices. It gives me some peace of mind that I'm not poisoning myself to death for the sake of 3D printing little plastic boats.
All in all, I'm pleased with this air filter and would recommend it to a friend.

Great for those who work away from home.

First, let me start by saying that I didn’t burn down my house for this review. I’m sorry, I know that probably would have been the best way to test this smoke detector, but . . . no.
That being said, I played with it for a week, and I got a good feel for it.
Before you do ANYTHING install the app. It will guide you through the installation. Also, there’s a little book inside the box guiding you through the installation as well. You should read that too. The app does a good job of guiding you, but it skips over how exactly the mounting holes are supposed to work.
And speaking of mounting, the smoke detector seemingly will not activate until it’s up on a wall or ceiling. I tried setting it up with it sitting in my hand (thinking that I’d just attach it to a wall after it was configured), and it wouldn’t even turn on.
Once installed . . . it’s a smoke / CO detector. It basically just sits there quietly and you forget about it unless there is an issue.
The accompanying app offers you various alerts and testing options. But aside from that, you can set it up and forget about it.
I commute to work, and it’s a comfort knowing that I’ll get a phone alert if anything ever happens while I’m away from home. I would strongly recommend this smoke detector.

Okay, but doesn't add much to the experience
on August 15, 2019
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I found the pen to be rather “gimmicky.”
I wanted to like it; I really did. I am into digital art, and I enjoy sketching for fun. I just couldn’t find a way to use it that felt all that natural to me.
The pen itself is comfortable enough in the hand. The barrel is thicker than a #2 pencil, but it still manages to fit in my hand well.
The pen is supposedly able to detect different pressure levels, but I wasn’t able to find any apps that actually seemed to take advantage of it. Light press or heavy press, I got the exact same line. This was true even in Google’s own canvas app. This is probably my biggest complaint about the pen.
The instructions for using the button on the pen confused me at first. I read that I was supposed to “hold the button to activate the Google Assistant.” What they neglect to mention is that you’re supposed to be holding the button as you’re circling an item on your screen so that the Google Assistant can activate and offer options for it. Just pressing and holding the button doesn’t summon up the assistant so that you can ask it to turn on the lights or anything.
The pen felt very comfortable on the screen. I’ve used some styluses that left me nervous that they were damaging the screen somehow. This stylus flows nice and smoothly across the screen.
I did like using the pen in lieu of a mouse. Being able to click tiny links and icons with pinpoint accuracy using the pen tip was nice.
Do I think that the pen is an essential purchase to compliment your Pixel Slate? No. You’ll be able to use your Pixel Slate just fine without this and not miss a beat.
Do I think that the pen adds something to the whole Pixel experience? Possibly. If you’re really keen on drawing apps (and can find one that actually uses the pressure sensitivity), then this might be a good investment for you.
If you’re into digital art, then I’d recommend this pen. Otherwise, it doesn’t add enough to the Pixel Slate experience to warrant the purchase.

Up to what distance it will detect Human detection only?
I don't know the "official" answer to this, but I have it aimed down a rather long driveway, and it only detects people about a 1/3 of the way down it. Past that, it doesn't trigger any notifications at all.
If I had to guess, I'd estimate that its range is somewhere around 15-20 feet.

Is this compatible with Acer nitro 5 gaming laptop?
I have one of the earliest models of the Nitro 5, and it installed in mine just fine. Couple warnings though: If you want to refresh your operating system after installing it (recommended to avoid hardware glitches), you'll need to remove any additional hard drives (otherwise it errors out). Another thing: after refreshing the operating system, it will only recognize the SSD until you install all of the Windows updates. After installing the updates, any secondary drives will show up again.

Garmin Speak~ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
How can dash cam footage be accessed? Is there cloud storage for the dashcam footage? If there's cloud storage, how much data/hour would the dashcam footage use? Alternatively, can video quality be adjusted to lower bandwidth usage?
Footage is stored on the micro-SD card inserted in the camera itself.
It can be accessed from the Speak app after you download the VIRB app. Note that while you need the VIRB app to access the footage, you can't view the photos directly from the VIRB app. You instead go back to the Speak app so that it can open the VIRB app and display the photos and videos (I know, it's an incredibly silly process).
If you try to open the VIRB app directly, it will tell you that it can't locate your camera.

Only at Best Buy Dell Inspiron Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Enjoy the convenience of a tablet or the functionality of a computer with this Dell Inspiron Starlord laptop. The 15-inch touch screen makes viewing the small details on websites simple, and the Intel Core processor keeps the computer running commands quickly. This Dell Inspiron Starlord laptop has a backlit keyboard so you can type in the dark.
Just got this. During initial setup it asked to update Windows so I did, and it said something on the laptop wasn't compatible with Windows so it couldn't update. Is that normal for a brand new laptop? Also it gets VERY hot in 10 minutes of just Facebook.
I had the same problem with heat when I first got this laptop. If you go to the Dell support site for this laptop, they have an automated system check and driver update that works wonders. I'll warn you that you will have to hunt a little on the site to find it. I'm afraid that Best Buy won't allow me to send you a link to the page.
After running it, my heat issue was fixed completely; and the laptop runs at a nice ambient temperature now.
I'm not sure why you got an error about something not being compatible with Windows update, but you might want to try running Dell's system check first and then try it again.
