Total Rubbish and a Waste of Money
on December 18, 2021
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing is complete rubbish. It freezes up regularly. The navigation is a nightmare. The memory capacity is pitiful so you can't install many channels and there's no option to expand it.
When selecting a channel, instead of starting that channel, it instead jumps to another channel. The volume control often doesn't work and I have to keep pressing it to get it to change the volume plus the position of those buttons is dreadful. There's more to complain about but I'm not going to waste my time. My advice, get an Apple TV device. I have one on another TV and it's a charm compared to this piece of crap.

This 6.6' (2M) charge cable - with USB-C connectors on both ends - is ideal for charging USB-C devices, and also supports USB 2 for syncing and data transfer between USB-C devices. To conveniently charge your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro from a wall outlet, pair the USB-C Charge Cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter, sold separately.

Quality Connectors

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a cable. Nothing too complicated.
But seriously, it's quality made although the base of my original cable developed issues with the insulation. Not wanting to end up without a cable, I bought this as a backup.
Be aware all USB-C plugs are built the same. Many cheaper ones lack the ability to "click" into place, thereby having intermittent connections. That's not an issue with these.

Excellent Groomer
on May 16, 2020
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I very much like the entire line of Philips Bodygroom shavers. As an avid cyclist, I shave my legs and arms to reduce the risk of infection if I experience road rash. While a lot of shavers are up to that task, the Bodygroomers are designed to also groom much more sensitive areas. It's a much more comfy option than bikini-waxing, whether used by men or women. This particular model is their best yet. It fits in the hand much more comfortably and securely. Besides comfort, the Bodygroom shavers do the job quickly.
Philips is now pushing their new One-Blade devices. I have one of those but don't find it as comfortable nor fast as the Bodygroom. Instead, I use the POne'Blade only for trimming facial hair.

Massive & Dependable Storage
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used numerous hard drives over many years and overall, Western Digital makes the most dependable, reasonably priced, and widely available products. They're far better than its main competitor, Seagate. This model is a whopping 12 TB!
All my systems are Macs and I use this one as a Time Machine backup for my home theater's Mac Mini, which I have set up as a media server. That Mac Mini has 2 smaller WD hard drives, one for storing media and the other for archived material. WD's newest management software does a great job and also recognizes and manages the other 2 WD hard drives.
While no hard drive can guarantee total dependability, I've had the best results from WD. It's always important to do regular backups and maintain redundancy of your data.

Best Sci-Fi of All Time
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I fell in love with this move when it first released in the late 60's and it was an inspiration that inspired my long career in IT. While I own previous releases, I've always sought the visual and audio WOW effect I experienced in the cinema so many years ago. This latest release propels this classic movie ever so close to that goal.
If you've seen it, get this version. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

Thin, light, and easy-to-grip - this Apple-designed case showcases the brilliant colored finish of iPhone 11 Pro while providing extra protection.Made from a blend of optically clear polycarbonate and flexible TPU materials, the iPhone 11 Pro Clear Case provides a solid, comfortable feel. The back is designed to be sturdy while the sides are made from a softer, more flexible material that fits right over the buttons for an improved grip. And when it's time to wirelessly charge, just leave the case on, and set it on your Qi certified charger.On the surface, a scratch-resistant coating has been applied to both the interior and exterior. And all materials and coatings are optimized to prevent yellowing over time.Just like every Apple-designed case, it's put through thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it's built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.

Functionally Poor
on November 4, 2019
Posted by: RadlerKC
This case looks nice and fits the iPhone 11 Pro.like a glove. However, a case needs to assist, not hinder, the user, so this case is a fail. First, the buttons are covered and requires considerably more pressure and at a narrower angle to work properly. In other words, you find yourself pressing buttons several times to get the desired result. This is particularly problematic with the right side button.
Next, the case doesn't provide good purchase of the phone. That is, you don't have a secure grip of the phone. IThe smooth surface feels about as slippery as a bare phone. This is particularly evident when holding the phone with a fabric-based glove such as wool or fleece. Worse, the phone will easily slide if placed on fabric, for instance, your lap.
I'm not at all happy with this case. A case should offer protection and assist functions. This case fails in those two aspects.

It works with high-bandwidth SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices, such as an external disk drive, high-resolution webcam, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smartphones, tablets and iPad.

Excellent USB Hub
on October 16, 2019
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the second J5 USB Hub I've purchased. The previous one is a 5-port hub and it still works flawlessly. I needed another one for another location to replace a cheap hub I've had there a few years but had issues with its sockets and power connection. I've finally found a reasonably priced hub with tight connects and good performance.

Best Color Printer
on September 6, 2019
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used several brands and models of workgroup printers over many years in my IT profession. Now that I'm retired and needed a new color printer, I chose this laser printer, partly due to the excellent reviews on web sites such as PCMag.com. I've also had a Brother B&W laser duplex printer for the past 10 years and it's been a reliable workhorse that continues to perform like day one.
Unlike several other printer companies, Brother has done a great job of maintaining their driver software which is something a lot of folks don't think about when shopping for computer-connected devices. For example, I've had to recycle several Canon devices that were in great shape, but after only a few years, they ceased updating their drivers and when I upgraded my OS, the devices were rendered useless.
The Brother HL-L8360CDW performs beautifully; creating amazing output very quickly. While supplies are pricy, the cost is far less per page than inkjet and you won't need to worry about ink drying up nor have to deal with the mess.
If you want a reliable, fast, quality color printer, you can't do better than this one.

Protective Bling

from Kansas City MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased a new gold iPhone XS for my special lady for Xmas and needed to get her a case. We went to BB so she could select one she liked. She's an artist and art teacher and it didn't take her long to spot the Kate Spade case with gold striping. Wow, the design looks stunning with the gold iPhone, plus it appears very protective. Online reviews at several forums gave it high marks so it was a no-brainer. Also, the sale price sealed the deal.
I do have one nit-pick with it it, however. I wish the edge material had some rubbery material to improve the case's grip. I warned my lady to be a bit mindful when using the phone and assure she has good purchase of the phone, especially when wearing gloves. Other than that, the case is this iPhone's perfect accessory, my girl is happy, and isn't that what it's all about?

Protect the device that controls your favorite streaming services with the Insignia NS-HATV6RC Apple TV Remote Cover. Made with soft silicone materials, it safeguards against everyday dirt and withstands drops up to 4 ft. Thin and lightweight, it also has precise cutouts, so you~ll never have to sacrifice convenience for protection. Compatible with Siri Remote (2nd generation) or Apple TV Remote (2nd and 3rd generation) from Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD, providing secure protection that easily slips on and off. A matte black color keeps the original look of your remote, leaving that sleek black color intact. Keep your entertainment protected with covers that won~t get in the way of functionality.
 

Please kindly confirm that this cover will also fit the new remote for the Apple TV 4K 128GB (3rd generation)(Latest Model) - Wi-Fi + Ethernet Model:MN893LL/A SKU:6500685 Release Date:11/04/2022

Technically, it does. As I mention in my review, the On-Off and Siri buttons are covered. I used a hole punch to expose the On-Off button and a razor knife to expose the Siri button.

For the price, it was worth it but Best Buy could have done a better job in selecting this case as is.

Can this model make copies?

Only if you have a separate scanner, which I highly recommend. Otherwise, no. There is no built-in scanner.

I DO NOT recommend multifunction machines that scan and print. If one component goes out, the whole thing is trash. Also, you can buy a much better scanner than the ones included in multifunction machines. Such scanners, especially Epson, have a button for copying that automatically sends the scan to any connected printer. Below is a link to an excellent scanner that will last you a long time and provide impressive scans of documents, photos, slides, and film. Coupled with the Brother printer, you'll be very happy, indeed.

How is the photo printing quality?

Photo printing is good for a laser printer and better than most, but I wouldn't rely on it for that purpose, especially for display or framing. If the photos are embedded in a document, handout, or brochure, I think you'll be pleased.

Frankly, when I need photos printed, I send them to services provided by Walgreen's and Office Depot/Max. In the long run the result is better, cheaper, and less hassle.

Can it be connected to computer through a USB or Ethernet cable?

Absolutely. All WiFi printers have at least one wired connection, usually USB, if for no other reason than to assist in initial setup, but also to allow wired use. Better printers include Ethernet as well.

This, being a workgroup printer, has Ethernet, USB 2, and several wireless protocols, making it perfect for any workgroup or home office. I absolutely love mine.

Can I plug in my external hard drive via this adapter and get a clean backup?

Yes. I do it all the time with my J5 Hub. It's a powered hub so functions as if you were directly plugging into the computer.

Can you recommend a scanner to go with the Brother HL-L8360CDW printer?

I've been a fan of Epson scanners for many years. They have an array of models in various price-points so advising a particular model is difficult without having an idea of how much you want to spend. Their Perfection series are great scanners that produce excellent scans very quickly. Most, if not all, have a function button that will make it work like a copy machine to send a scan directly to your printer (via your computer). Furthermore, Epson scanners are well built and will serve you a long time.
