Seems to work as it should

Not a bad device just very basic. It lays Blue Ray discs well and the look good on the 4K TV so that is fine. The devices doesn't have any bells and whistles it is simply a player that plays discs. It is good for my need to play the disc in my collection when needed. Most things these days are streamed which give more content but I'm not going to pay extra to convert all my DVD and Blue Ray disc for streaming so this is fine for those disc that where an older technology! My other player stopped working so I needed something to replace it and this was it and it works. I would recommend this product if you are in need of something simple to play your disc collection, it works as I said!

This is the 3rd one I have purchased in the past 15 years. They seam to last about seven years at a time. I just replaced my older one that was as I said about 7 years old. If you like track balls for moving the cursor around as opposed to a traditional mouse then this is a good one to have. There was some small changes that I had to get around and one of the biggest it the fact that it doesn't connect using the unifying dongle so now I have to use the dongle for this and my keyboard separately which takes up another USB-A port. Luckily is works fine in my ten port hub. Overall this is great when you have limited desk space since you don't have to move the entire unit to make the cursor move.

Good phone/computer

It isn't the perfect specimen by any means but it is very capable. I've had many phones over many years and find that this one has certain aspects that are better than some of the previous phones from this company and other companies. The battery is one of the best in the industry I think. It can actually go days without charging if you don't use it a lot. It can hold up for about 2 days with moderate use and with heavy use you can last the entire day and not worry too much about being depleted. It's generally the same size and weight as others on the market and is easy to handle. It has a decent camera or two that produce sharp images. Great for quick shots or more if you so desire. (I have dedicated cameras for photos) Bloatware is minimal compared to some others and many things you are able to delete if you don't want them. 128GB is pretty good space and there is over half free even with the apps loaded on the phone. The space to load apps is something that is subjective depending on how you use apps and which ones. Should be enough space to load all the social media apps of choice even if it is all of them. The screen is clear and bright with good response to touch and good feel. Overall a good device and the 2nd one in the family.

Good device with good speed and great size for my needs. It was a replacement for another one that was the size of 8". While this one is a slight bit bigger it fix in the space I needed it to fit with little adjustment. The battery seems to last very well about 4-5 days with the how I use it. The screen is very responsive. Overall it does what I need it to do and that is great.

Not the best, not the worst. It does well at the health things but a few smart watch things are a little short. Sound during phone calls is very weak and hard to hear unless it's very quiet. I did connect easily and tracks all the pertinent health related information so that is a plus since I got it for that purpose. Good value to cost ratio. I could recommend this item to others that want to track there health over other things a smart watch does. This is a replacement of another old Fitbit that didn't even have other capabilities and was limited so this is a jump ahead. Seems to be getting better with each version.

Seems to be a good phone. I have had a motorola for some time now and found that they are good phones. I had to finally replace my last one after many years due to not charging well and having the battery die quickly. There are a few changes to operating system or things I haven't found yet. It doesn't perform exactly like the older one in operation anyway. The speed and performance is much quicker than the previous device. Overall is seems to be a good phone.

I have had Garmin GPS units for a very long time and they just keep getting better. They aren't perfect but close enough to it to make it a five star. There is not much it can't find and with a quick update of maps and software it finds those new things that pop up. The only thing that is slightly annoying is the search method. It works great but it is multiple steps instead of just putting an address in the search bar. You have to first do the house/business number then you have to put in the street name then and then and finally you got it. It just seems a little bit counterintuitive. Other than that the suggestions for places such as restaurants and gas stations are spot on and makes life easier when you are away from your home area.

Using this one for a carry along external SSD in an enclosure and it is performing very well. I am using it for photos and editing and it is faster than my other external drive. The configuration allows it to surpass my other drive with ease. Only time will tell if it holds up to the use I have delegated it to!

Very good dishawaher that replaced a much older one that had seen a good life. Hope this one continues as long as that one did. The interior is spacious and easy to load except the door spring is a bit tight and the door doesn't stay open all the way unless you push it. This is not a bad thing but a little annoying because sometimes when you push the bottom rack in the wheels get caught in the small gap made when the door isn't open all the way. The exterior look is good and easy to keep clean. The dishes look good after washing and if you use the additive such as jet dry their are minimal spots and the dishes seem to dry faster. The auto door open is a nice feature that pops the door open when the cycle is done giving the dishes air to dry more easily. Overall seems to be a good machine and works rather well. At first I wasn't even sure it was running it's so quiet. My old one could have woken the neighbors but this one is smooth and almost silent.

Nice Looking and works well so far

The refrigerator is very nice. Overall it has some great features but there are a few minor draw backs. The capacity is adequate for our needs and the only issue I see is the shelves. There are not enough adjustments spaces and it is a little limited as to what can be stored on each shelf even when moving them up or down. It is nice that they are half width shelves so one side can be in a different configuration to make the space needed for your goods. The in door ice maker is a bit small and the ice it makes are very tiny compared to some others. It doesn't hold a lot of ice in the door (not an issue for us) and I'm not sure how good the ice maker in the freezer is as we are choosing not to use it. It is good that they have independent on off switches. It has an onboard water filter which may help some people. We have a full water filter system for the house so we chose to leave the filter out. It has a good bypass built in so you just take the filter out and it seals and lets the water run to the door dispenser and ice makers without trouble. The converting drawer is nice and is very convenient for snacks, cheese, cold cuts and other similar items. It has several temperatures you can set it at using preset choices and you can also make it part of the freezer at the push of a button.

Does this GPS come with the charger?

It doesn't come with a charger it does come with a wire that plugs into your 12V socket in the car. If you want to charge it at home you can your any power adapter you have and the appropriate cord for the unit and it will charge. I find it's best to just use the power cable int he car and if I do need to take it with me for hiking or such It will be ready to go. To use internal power while mounted int he car isn't the best thing to do in my opinion. Hope that helps.

I have a watch band from my Galaxy 3, that I love. Will it fit the Galaxy 5?

I believe this is a 20mm wide band so if your Galaxy 3 has a 20mm band then it should fit this watch. From what I saw on Amazon some of the Galaxy 3 watches had 22mm wide bands so just be sure of the width of yours.

What is the square foot coverage of this router? Good for 2200 sq ft ranch home?

I have about 2000sqft with an open loft to the ground floor and it seems to connect well to everything except my thermostat and that is only 35-40 feet away in an area open between the router and thermostat. Not sure what that is about yet. Everything else works well. The more centrally located in the house the better it will be. I have a Echo dot in the garage and I get usable signal in the backyard if that helps.

Which wi-fi router or routers are compatible with the Motorola MB8600 32x8 DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem 1GB Ethernet?

Probably any WiFi 6 router will work with that modem or any modem. you'll have one ethernet cable coming from the modem going to the router WAN port and then you connect all your devices either wired or wireless to the router.

How many devices can be connected to this router at 1 time via Wifi?

Theoretically you can have 255 devices connected to any given router. I keep mine set for 140 just to have some spare room in case of new devices. If you have more devices that takes bandwidth and that is your enemy. Most places have high speed internet but there are also many places that don't offer that option. If you only have 10Mbps to share then you are limited more by that than by the router. There are also many other variables for speed and connectivity. The router will always be limited to 255 IP address.

Stock up on flexible storage with this five-pack of PNY Attach~ drives. Each unit holds 16GB of music, photographs or documents, with simple, fast transfers through a USB 3.0 port. These PNY Attach~ drives have collar caps that slide open to protect data while staying attached.
 

Are these bootable??? I'm trying to install Windows 10 from a bootable/transferable device onto a new pc

If you have data that is bootable the drive should be fine. It's not the drive booting it is the computer. As long as you have your BIOS or UEFI set to boot from a USB then if the software is found there it will boot.

Can I transfer a CD to a thumb drive

I use these for my music to play on my car stereo but you would have to change your CD's to MP3 or WMA files using a conversion software. If you are talking about DATA CD's then yes you can just copy the data to the drive as long as it doesn't go over the maximum capacity of 16GB in this case.

Is the 16nGB drive formatted to FAT 32?

The default formatting is FAT 32. Since I use them in my car stereo I usually don't format for anything else with these drives but the choices are there to format in NTFS and exFAT so I think you could probably use them if needed!

I use USB Flash Drives for my machine embroider designs. Is there danger of losing content due to failure? Do you recommend backing these up on a CD?

They work fine with my wife's Brother machine when she does embroidery and haven't had an issue where we lose data. With that being said I have lost data on all kinds of devices over the years and it is always prudent to back up your data in at least three places in my opinion (depending on the data of course).
