As he tried to cope with the alien symbiote now sharing his body, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) couldn't turn down the invite that could recharge his flagging journalism career A prison sit-down with psychotic serial murderer Cletus Kasaday (Woody Harrelson). Freak circumstance caused the parasite to infect Kasaday as well-resulting in an escape and rampage that even Venom might not be able to stop. Showdown for the Marvel Comics supervillains co-stars Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

A nice light - with one issue
on July 11, 2024
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice light, but that has one issue.
The so called "on button", is not really a button. It is a
contact point. The light turns on when it and part of the
metallic housing are touched simultaneously. Your body
completes the circuit, and the light comes on. When the
circuit is broken, the light goes out, but only after several
seconds.
The problem that arises is that most people will have this
light in a pocket. Every time the hand enters the pocket
there is a good chance the light will be turned on.
This will shorten the life of the battery.
I have created a simple way to avoid this by putting a
small piece of tape over the "button" to shield it from
my fingers (see picture). It is simple, and works.
Aside from this issue, the device is solid and well made.

Nice Home Computer
By NatalieF
I’ve been really happy with the HP OmniDesk so far. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor is super fast, and with 16GB of DDR5 memory, everything runs smoothly — even when I have a bunch of apps and tabs open. The 1TB SSD gives me plenty of space and makes startup and loading times really quick.
The Dark Wood design looks awesome in person — it actually feels like part of my furniture instead of a bulky computer tower. It’s quiet, doesn’t overheat, and handles all my daily tasks easily.
If you’re mostly using your desktop for work, streaming, school, or light creative projects, this is a great pick. It’s not built for serious gaming, but for everything else, it’s fast, reliable, and looks great on your desk.

A great home office desktop with a great look
By kaizen61
I think I might have to get a new desk; this case looks too good to be sitting underneath. Seriously, this may be the nicest looking case I’ve ever purchased. But more importantly, it’s a fast, quiet and powerful replacement for my current desktop.
If you’re like me, you may have a PC that, even though it’s powerful enough and capable, somehow can’t be upgraded to Windows 11. For my current PC, that’s a Dell Inspiron that I bought from BB 7 years ago. And while it’s maxed out on memory, has plenty of disk space available and even supports TPM. Microsoft decided the 4.3 Ghz AMD CPU doesn’t cut it. Go figure…
I’ve been looking for a desktop upgrade lately and got an opportunity to check out the HP OmniDesk. The specs certainly checked out, but the look was what sealed the deal. It even looks better in person. Unboxing it I was surprised how light it was, but a large part of that is the lack of any mechanical hard drives. In fact, this is the first PC I’ve ever bought that has no internal HDD mounts. Which isn’t really a problem, given the 1 TB SSD should be plenty for most people and can be expanded to 2 TB. It also has a plethora of USB ports both front and back if you want to expand via external drives.
But by looking at the motherboard, I found a secret. There are SATA ports on the motherboard! Unfortunately, I was unable to test them in time for this review as the power connector requires an adapter I had to order and was delayed coming in from China. If you want to test them yourself, you’ll need a four-pin female floppy power connector (sometimes referred to as a “Berg” connector) to a SATA female connector. While I couldn’t test it, PC inventory apps like Belarc Advisor DO show the SATA subsystem, so there’s a good chance it is active.
The system comes with 16gb of DDR5 memory, which is more than adequate for the average Win 11 user, but I upgrade mine to 32gb as I often have a few windows open and appreciate the extra breathing room. You could upgrade it to 32gb max; I considered this, but I really don’t do much memory intensive work these days, so it seemed overkill.
I was a little surprised at the performance compared to my Dell; even though the CPU is running at a slightly slower speed than the Dell, the performance feels snappier and more responsive. And the PC overall is much quieter. My Dell Inspiron wasn’t a loud unit most of the time, but occasionally the fan would surge when opening an app or a couple of browser windows. Not so with the OmniDesk, for the first couple of days I had to check to make sure it wasn’t hibernated!
As much as I resisted Windows 11, I must admit that I am happy I migrated. Moving over was straightforward and if you have an MS Account, you can even migrate settings and programs over easily. HP’s Windows setup went without event, and I was quickly up and running. Two days later and it’s in place as my main desktop and I feel like I’m good for another 7 years.
I would DEFINITELY recommend the HP OmniDesk as a worthy upgrade or first PC. It can handle anything from browsing and daily emails to a genuine home office workhorse. It would also fit in nicely into a small to medium-sized office environment. I’ve always been happy with my HP purchases and the OmniDesk is no exception. Backed by a great company, I know it will last me a long time.

Does this item have a 3 prong plug? I need one as i will use it at work and need 3 prong to be compliant

It has a polarized two-prong plug, ie, one prong is larger than the other. It can be plugged in only one way. The outlet on the wall must permit the use of such a plug.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
