As Guy (Gael Garc~a Bernal) and Prisca (Vicky Krieps) treated their three young kids to a tropical vacation, they opted for a day enjoying a beautiful seaside cove. However, they and the beach's other occupants would discover to their horror that they were aging a year every half hour-and that there was no escape back. M. Night Shyamalan's chilling adaptation of the graphic novel InchSandcastleInch co-stars Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amura-Bird, Alex Wolff, Embeth Davidtz. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Spammers Attacking Target Defeater Without Target
on July 10, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought this home phone system to replace an existing 5-phone system that was at least 10 years old.
The system works fine, but we need security features that weren't available on consumer systems.
The phone system's ability to interact with a spammer or a number that is added by my mother is great. The fact that the phone will determine that the caller is a spammer, and hang up the call without my Mother knowing that anyone dialed her is BIG NEWS!

The Mission Impossible Series
on June 19, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
These movies were great to watch individually, but would likely not be seen again if we didn’t have them physically. Here’s why:
A movie series always seems to have good movies worth seeing repeatably, and so-so good spots in the rest.
A movie series like Mission Impossible, the Marvel universe movies, Pirates in the Caribbean and Wolverine in the X-Men all have parts of one or more movies that provide bits of information that are useful for connecting one series to another. The thing is, we probably would not buy some of those movies just to recapture a cool moment.
Unless it is part of a package like this!
Streaming movies can work well if you have wonderful bandwidth. It is unlikely to work if you are traveling, say, in a motor home going here and there. Available streaming power, purchased at 200Mbps has been whittled down during the Covid-19 Pandemic, so pulling out a BluRay or 4K disc will always have a place in our home - especially if they are already purchased!

Good Network Attached Storage Device, Bad Document
on June 5, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
The My Cloud EX2 Ultra 16TB2-Bay RAID unit comes up as advertised. But then what?
I will give this Network Attached Storage a 4 star rating, but the point of buying this device is to be used in one or more different ways.
2 stars for the documentation!
Unfortunately, the documentation of the unit and purpose driven documentation is unacceptable.

Difficulty to Use, but Does Improve Use of Google
on May 29, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this device in part because it made my Google controller easier to use. The controller snaps into place in this product, which was a good start.
Beyond that point, I’m having difficulty figuring out how to use it. I’ll have to see if Best Buy knows what to do with this device, or hope I can get tech sup[port from the company.

HoMedics Quattro Mini Massager Weakling
on May 15, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
At least for my purposes, this plastic and cheap device is useless.
I needed a portable massager that could help with settling down my upper leg muscles - especially while driving. I could barely feel something while wearing blue jeans, but I won’t take them off, or pull them down for any benefit.
There will be some who benefit from this device, but it won’t me me!

Excellent Device, Needs to Provide More Docs
on April 30, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
As I've worked with the Chromecast with Google TV, I've learned that it is less understandable than I am used to. I'm a "Read the Book" kind of learner, so it has held me back from making better use of the device.
That said, I especially like the ability to gather all of the stream content from different providers you are paying for. I can ask where I can find a show or movie, and it will show me where to get to it.
Cool!

The Best Qualities of a Surge Protector Strip
on April 30, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Rocketfish 12-Outlet/2-USB Surge Protector Strip fills a need to protect my high line electronics in my "Man Cave", my home office, and rooms with expensive TVs .
I have always made sure to protect my network equipment, TVs, stereos, computers and network-attached storage using power strips in my various locations, and Network-Attached Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) in my office.
If you are not protecting your expensive equipment, I strongly recommend that you do so!
I would use appropriately sized Surge Protector Strip. If you are also protecting your office, I would plug the Surge Protector Strip into a UPS.
Here are some recommendations and things to know concerning these devices.
1. A UPS is meant to keep selected equipment running when the rest of the house is dark. If you need to keep devices up and running for a specific period of time, size the UPS so it keeps your critical "stay up for x minutes".
2. If you are using Surge Protector Strips in areas which require them, there are more considerations to keep in mind.
a. There are power-strips for sale everywhere, but they don't come as Surge Protector Strip unless they advertise it on the box.
b. A Surge Protector Strip will tell you how much protection you will get from the unit. Power is defined in Joules.
c. If (like me) you have owned a UPS and/or Surge Protector Strip, they lose their protective capabilities as they protect from lightning or other devices. Kind of like a catcher's mitt, which loses power from fast calls from the pitcher!

Evaluating the Insignia 6ft Lightning to USB Cable
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: BRodeck
Verified Purchase:Yes
This product (Insignia 6ft Lightning to USB) has positive and negative aspects.
The main positive point is the reason wqhy this product should be in your inventory. It is as robust a cable as I have worked with. Once in place, you can expect it to stay in place when moving equipment in your media center or on your dresser table!
The good is also the main reason for the negative. I find that the cables stay in place - when they are correctly installed.
But what do you do when you need to replace a component like the receiver unit? (Done that when finished moving Receivers and A/V components.).
The most efficient replacement or addition of a new capability using these cables is to pull out the whole Man-Cave back-side, and connect the cables where you can see their location.
Working with the heavy duty data cables and returning the Man-Cave to its destination is satisfying, but also the only good way to install them safely.
Not much of a negative remark, but it’s something for tou to keep in mind.

Use your iPad in four configurations with this ZAGG keyboard and case. The magnetic hinge securely holds the device for use in keyboard, video, case or book modes, while the tough polycarbonate shell protects against damage from impacts. The Li-Po battery in this ZAGG keyboard and case keeps you typing for up to two years.
 

It says detachable, how easy or difficult will it detach? I dont care about detaching, so if its difficult to do that even better.

You simply pull them apart. The instructions explicitly demonstrate the best approach but there is nothing in the way of cables to disconnect.

Is this a Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro 9.7?

Don’t know your definition of “Smart Keyboard”.

It communicates with the iPad via Bluetooth and gets charged up separately from the iPad.

It does have labor-saving capabilities like a key whoa how shows all apps running, identical to the double press of the home button.
