Necessity for Arlo Audio Doorbell
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are invested in the Arlo ecosystem, I highly recommend their doorbells. I prefer the video doorbell because the audio doorbell requires an additional camera looking at your front door (rather than being one package). But, my house isn't wired for a doorbell. So I went with the Arlo audio doorbell because it has the option to be battery powered. Either way you go, I recommend the Smart Chime speakers. They're too expensive in my opinion, but I like putting them on the different floors of my house so I can hear the doorbell ring. If you don't have your phone nearby, if someone rings the Arlo audio doorbell you won't hear it without these. They aren't too loud, but in my opinion are loud enough to hear. I just wish they were a bit cheaper...

Ample Protection for Laptops
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice slim case that offers ample protection for your laptop. Unfortunately it won't hold other items (such as a wireless mouse, charging cables) but that would kind of defeat the purpose of having a thin sleeve. This is perfect for protecting your laptop when throwing it in your bag or back pack.

A little pricey but worth it
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's nothing worse than a cable getting damaged. But it also hurts your wallet to spend a lot of money on something as unexciting as a cable. But I'm a believer in paying for a high quality product and using it for years on end. This cable falls in that category. It's plenty long and it's sturdy. I'm happy with the purchase

Doesn't work on Blu-Rays
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this not so much to repair discs, but to be a safe and effective way to clean the discs from grubby children's hands. In terms of operation, it's simple to use, you spray the solution, you rotate the handle, and you use the cloth to dry it. And what I like is that everything fits into the device (the cloth hides in the handle along with the solution.
But this is intended for DVDs. I'm not smart enough to know why Blu-Rays are different (thickness? different coating?). Anyway, I used it on Blu-Rays and it didn't damage the disc (it cleaned them actually), but the circular scrubbing pad broke. As in, the spokes broke. It's still usable, but I was disappointed it happened so quickly after purchase. My only other caveat is that I don't know if it broke because it was defective or because I used it on Blu-rays.
So I wouldn't say "don't purchase it" but you should just know what you're going to use it for. NOTE: the instruction manual, which I read after the fact, says it's not intended for use on Blu-Rays.

Great for PS4
on April 29, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for external storage for my PS4. And it doesn't disappoint. You plug it in, format it and voila you are off and running. The USB 3.0 speeds are great (if you have PS4 Pro) and the fact it doesn't need external power is great. And the price on sale made it a steal

Durable and compact

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm using this to archive data, so I'm not taking it out into the field to beat up, but I bought it because I trust the quality of the brand. While time will tell if the HDD will go corrupt, I can say that ease of use, speed and it's small form factor make it an easy recommendation

A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

I'm a bit biased because I love the MCU and Spider-Man but this is a must see movie. It's a lot of fun, and it's humor and high school melodrama is relatable and a nice change of pace

Doesn't Work
on March 18, 2020
Posted by: callmeageeth
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was in Best Buy and saw this on clearance and thought it would be something fun for my two little boys to have during these turbulent times while we're stuck at home. I charged the battery for 4 hours, put the 9V in the controller, paired it. But nothing. It might drive straight for 15 feet, but good luck getting it to turn. And when you try to drive it in reverse, it just stutters and makes a clicking noise. My guess is the 2.4 Ghz frequency used for the connection between the controller and the car, but it ultimately doesn't matter. It just doesn't work other than MAYBE a short 10 foot drive in a straight line.

Handle storage demands with this Western Digital SATA solid-state drive. Its 560MB/s read speed and 530MB/s write speed are suitable for intensive applications, and its 2.5-inch form factor fits most desktops and laptops. The solid-state drive has no moving parts, making the drive resistant to shock to protect your data. Includes the WD SSD Dashboard to keep track of the drive's status.
 

I'm planning to replace my 1TB WD SATA drive w/this drive. 1. If I do a clean install on this SSD, will Windows 10 re-activate correctly? 2. Do I just install this drive, format it & do the clean install?

If I understand what you're asking, no. If you take out your old hard drive, you will be taking the operating system with it. If you were to simply plug in your new drive, your computer will boot up with a message saying something to the effect of: "no bootable disk." If you go that route, you will need a Windows installation on a USB drive to install the operating system. Honestly, the easiest thing to do is to purchase a USB to SATA cable and mirror your old hard drive to the new one. Then swap them out. Even if your old drive was cluttered with items, you'll still notice a remarkable improvement in performance.

Meet your fitness goals with this black Fitbit Aria Air smart scale. The simple design lets you weigh yourself with one step, and the bright display shows your current weight in easy-to-read characters. Featuring integrated Bluetooth connectivity, this Fitbit Aria Air smart scale syncs with the Fitbit app and automatically tracks your progress towards your weight-loss goals.
 

Can historic weight data be exported into Excel?

I don't think it does it natively. But I've used the IFTTT app to automatically add my steps into a Google Sheet. It would run automatically each day. I haven't tested it, but I'm confident you could do the same with weight. And you probably know this, but the app itself does show your historic weight data.

It connects directly with the Fitbit App on your phone. In order to sync your weight, you have to have the app open on your phone.

Does it work with apple products

If you're asking if it works with Apple phones, yes it does. It syncs via Bluetooth so long as the Fitbit app is open. I can't speak to iPads or Apple Watches.

Experience the bigger, clearer picture when you upgrade your home theater setup with the STR-DH590. The 5.2ch AV receiver brings movies to life with 4K HDR pass-through, Dolby Vision and flexible surround sound. Bring all your devices together with BLUETOOTH connectivity and multiple inputs.
 

I have older speakers from a 5.1 samsung receiver, front l/r/center/ dual subwoofer/ surround sound speakers with wireless transmitter they are rated 3 ohms, I don't see any info about if they would be compatible

The ohms rating isn't a problem. All depends on how the speakers hook up. If it's with simple speaker wire (rather than a proprietary wireless or wired connection) then you'll be good to go. Although I'm unsure about your surround speakers wireless transmitter...

I have an old Sony surround sound 5 speaker and a subwoofer. Can I replace with this receiver and still use all 5 speakers and subwoofer?

So long as you plug your existing speakers in with speaker wires, yes, any speakers will work. It uses a coaxial cable for the sub input.
