After a few cases of Covid hitting the office (all of which were false-positives), we were directed by management to finish out the year by working from home. I soon realized that, though I could join the team meetings and see and hear all that was on the screen, I had no way to participate. Solution: Buy a gaming headset from Best Buy!
Problem solved. Finished out the year without missing a meeting while still being able to participate fully. Device was instantly recognized by the computer, which quickly installed the necessary drivers. Worked like a charm. Though I have returned to the office, I still have the option of working from home in the future, should the need arise.
It's not what the headset was designed for, but who cares?

Old expansion network switch had failed and it took some time to figure out it was me and not the cable company. Bought this replacement, which had more ports than the original, plugged it in and was back online instantly. Worked like a charm, and is still working months later!

The best in the Marvel series!

For those who follow the Marvel series, this one pulled it all together.
Without adding any spoilers, I think it had a few unexplained holes in it, but overall, was great!

I have what I thought was a complete collection of Madea movies. Looking more closely, I realized one was missing, so I ordered it. It is as funny as all the others, but not my collection is complete.

Danny Cannon directs Sylvester Stallone in the science-fiction action film Judge Dredd, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from Disney/Buena Vista.

Was missing from my collection

Verified Purchase:Yes
My home server has been giving me some issues as memory began to run low. Scanning for missing movies, I found this one to have disappeared. I bought it to fill in that gap. It has been re-added to my movie collection and I'm back in business.
Stallone has been a favorite of mine over the years and still continues to be so.

H.C. Potter directs Cary Grant in the comedy Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Warner Bros. issues the film for the first time on DVD with this release which presents the film in the original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono; English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible as well. Supplemental materials include a pair of radio broadcasts featuring Grant, a collection of trailers for other films featuring Grant, and the Tex Avery directed animated short The House of Tomorrow. This disc became available the same day as a handful of other Cary Grant films including The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

Excellent Movie!
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: HammerinHank
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recall seeing this movie as a young kid and thought it to be hilarious. When I built my own house, and went through the trials and tribulations of that event, it reminded me of the movie.
Any old movie with Cary Grant is automatically a good movie, at least in my mind. This movie is no exception.
I originally had a DVD of this movie I bought at a library fund raiser but that copy had original factory flaws (visible flaws) that made it unwatchable. Now I have a good copy!

Missing from my Pink Panther collection.
on June 28, 2020
Posted by: HammerinHank
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was recently taking inventory of my Pink Panther collection and noticed a couple of holes. This movie was one of them. I have always loved the movie series and prided myself on my collection, so had to order this missing gem. Now that I have it, my collection is almost complete. (I'm still waiting for the delivery of Inspector Clouseau (2006), but it is on its way!

The plug-and-play feature worked perfectly.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a need to extend my virtual Ethernet in the home to a laptop. Said laptop would occasionally go into airplane mode for no reason at all. As the laptop is being used for work-from-home at the moment, it became a big pain to have to continually reboot. I ordered this kit to give me a virtual Ethernet extension, but had concerns that this unit would not be compatible with the Ethernet-over-power-line system already in place. My concerns were premature, as the unit paired instantly and compatibly with the installed system. No more laptop issues!

So much space!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I operate a home server with now over 90 TB of space. That that many drives, I need spares to replace those that occasionally die. I now only buy high capacity and high speed replacements. This was purchased as a spare and hasn’t seen service yet, though I am dealing with a failed drive that will need to be replaced soon. I love long warranties!

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.

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.
