Sometimes you just need reliable, no-frills electronics that get the job done. That~s exactly what this is: a Lightning to USB cable that charges and transfers files between a USB device and your Apple smartphone or tablet. A modest 3 ft. length eliminates excess cord that you don~t need in space spaces. Its durable PVC coating keeps it protected to help it last longer, while its white color fits in with your Apple accessories. This multi-pack provides three cables so you~ll always have a cable where you need it. Trust the Dynex DX-MLA321W3 3' Lightning to USB Charge-and-Sync Cable (3 Pack) to keep you connected.

Old cords get frayed, from time to time, and/or get chewed up by kittens, so they need to be replaced as necessary. Cords are needed for the multiple iphones in the house so was necessary to make sure I bought enough of them. Of course they all work find and i'm sure will continue to do so untile the next kitten tests its teeth on them.

Unit installed quickly, was easily connected to the home network, and sends notifications to my phone all the time. We feel safer knowing that anyone/everyone coming to our door is being recorded.

I expected delivery of new fridge and removal of old to take a significant amount of time. The Geek Squad installers took no time at all to get the new unit up and running. They didn an excellent job with the installation and the removal of the old. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Geek Squad did the installation of the new fridge, but this kit was required. Instalation was quick, including this kit, and unit was up and running in minutes, thanks to the Geek Squad installers. Didn't have to raise a sweat or bat an eyelash. And removal of the old fridge was part of the deal. Still have an issue connecting to the home internet, but that's secondary to an operating fridge. I'll eventually get the internet connection figured out.

With failure of old fridge, it was necessary to get a replacment. Of course Best Buy is always my starting point. This fridge is so much bigger, roomier and tidier than the old. Don't know how I got along without it. The delivery and instalation was fast. It was up and running in minutes and making ice and serving cold water almost immediately. Love it!

I bought two of these cameras so that I might watch my kittens misbehave while I'm at work. At first, I was not able to get the camera to connect, using instructions provided with the product but after contacting customer support, setup was quick and easy.
I recently realized that I can switch to 1080P for more clarity. Camera is working great and automatically tracks any movement.

There have been times in the past where I've purchased these cords, only to find that when I get them home and open them up, plug in my phone and test them, they don't work. Not the case here. Chord worked perfectly the first time.

I was lucky enough to pick up a discarded TV (I am an avid junk collector), but then realized shortly thereafter that I needed this adapter to connect it to my computer, which I had forgotten, only has DisplayPort connections, one of which was already in use with my monitor. This device allowed to make the connection to the "free" TV I collected. (It looks like it was discarded because it would run for 10 minutes then shut down. Turning off the "sleep timer" solved that issue!)
All is now working well.

I have a home server with over 80TB of storage capacity. Recently I lost the ability to connect to it over my home network. As it serves as network storage for all my music, movies, photos and some personal files. Having lost all network connections to the server, I have been unable to stream or access any of my stored data. Until I figure out what's going on with the server, I decided to buy this portable drive as an interim solution, and have begun to store my data on it by slowly downloading some of the accessible data on the server. I have then "shared" that data on the network so that I can access it from any device connected to the network and it has functioned perfectly! Once accessed on any device, streaming is seamless and fast. I have moved a ton of stuff to this drive and when I check "properties", very little memory is used up.

Expand your home network without compromising quality with this TP-Link Powerline starter kit. The adapter uses your existing power lines to supply your home with a gigabit Ethernet connection, and its automatic power-saving mode conserves energy. This TP-Link Powerline starter kit installs with no configuration for a fast, efficient setup.
 

Will this device block the other plug-in position on the outlet?

The unit does not have a feed-through receptacle built in, so yes, it will block an outlet. In my case, I simply plugged it into the lower outlet which then allows the upper outlet to be used for other purposes.

does this come with two Ethernet cables? please specify how many it comes with

I actually don't recall for sure, but believe it did. For my particular home layout, I ended up having to buy custom Ethernet cables anyway, to accommodate the different lengths to make my connections.

Most of the powerline adapters, these included, come in pairs. What if I need an odd number? Can you buy a single extra unit a la carte or must you get an additional pair?

I am an end-user so cannot answer all questions about what is available from the market. What I do know is that I believe they are sold in pairs because one is needed as a transmitter, and one us used at the receiver. That being said, I also know that they will work successfully in odd numbers. I presently have 3 in use, one, of course as the transmitter, one as a receiver for my TV, and one as a receiver for a laptop that consistently has issues staying connected to the WIFI. Extending the virtual Ethernet to that laptop indirectly solved its connection issues.
I might suggest that if you have need for one, you might have need for more in the near future, as I did. I was not able to find a single unit for sale, though I must admit I did not do an exhaustive search. I did suspect that I would have a need for expansion in the future so didn't shy away from having a spare laying around. (At some point in the near future, I plan to update the TV in the guest bedroom from dumb to smart, and when that happens, I will put the spare unit to use.)
I would also suggest that when you select a supplier, be sure to confirm that any units you buy meet the IEEE standard for Ethernet-over-power lines. That way you can be sure that all units you buy will work together, even if sourced from different manufacturers.

Print, scan and copy wirelessly from your device with this Epson Expressions Home all-in-one inkjet printer. The 100-sheet paper tray minimizes downtime to improve productivity, while the 2.4-inch LCD screen ensures simple setup and use. This Epson Expressions Home all-in-one inkjet printer features automatic duplex printing to save on paper.Prints up to 10 ISO ppm* in black, up to 5 ISO ppm* in color
 

Does this printer have fax capabilities? I saw few question asked about this and the answer was yes but then saw another one say no.

There are no options for attaching a phone line so I would have to say "no" to the question.
It can scan, and that scanned document can then be emailed.

Can I sublimation this printer ?

I would have to say "no". it's an inkjet so doesn't use heat for setting the pring.

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 4TB capacity.
 

Is it compatible with XPS 8500 DELL DESKTOP ?

It should fit in any desktop and operate well with any operating system. It won't fit in a laptop.
I've used it for both Windows and Linux.

Will this work with Linux Mint OS?

I'm presently using it in a Linux Redhat server, formatted to EXT4 and it works just fine.
So, yes, it will.

i bought it sometime last year, and it just stopped working. My computer wasnt able to read it. ive tried it also at my friends PC, same result. what seems to be the problem?

Hard drives seem to fail randomly. Sometimes they fail with surface defects, but most time its the electronics that fail.
I suggest you double-check online and confirm that unit is still under warranty, then follow instructions to get and RMR so you can return it for a replacement unit.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

How do I set google home up

It comes with simple instructions but the setup takes place over your phone. In fact, all accessories I've attached to Google Home have been through the smart phone.
Download the app to your phone. The app will find the assistant, and help you log into your wifi. Once it's online, it can answer your questions.
If you bought any accessories, they too, come with their own app that needs to be downloaded to the phone. Once they are set up, they can be added to the Google app then the assistant will control them. For example, I bought a WEMO smart plug, which I can operate from my phone. I added it to the Google app the plugged my Christmas tree into the plug. Now all I have to do is say "Hey Google. Turn on the Christmas tree." and the assistant responds with "Okay. Turning the Christmas tree on." and the tree lights up.
