Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a professional photographer who is editing more then I would like to me so being able to take my file with me to edit on the go has been super helpful. This little drive has plenty of space to work from while on the go and I know it's going to be safe in this rugged case. Great drive from a great company. Would buy again.

Perfect upgrade for my grandmother
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
My grandmother has been using a Sony TV in her room since 2007. It was 720p and you could just see the lack of clarity in the screen compared to other TVs in the house. LG is a brand I trust so I wanted to make sure we got her an LG for her room and this TV has not disappointed.
She leaves the TV on almost 24 hours per day and has picked up on using the menu of it very fast. The webOS system was easy for her to learn and that was something I was afraid of being a problem with other TVs that using AndroidOS. She was able to see the difference in picture quality and has loved her new TV so that makes it a great buy in my eye.

It's wonderful to use when touching up photos
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a photographer and have been editing photos for years. I am also pretty hard-headed because I never wanted to jump full force into a Wacom tablet for editing because I thought it was just one more tool I would have to have with me. That was a mistake that I regret. After shooting a friend's wedding and promising them the photos super quickly I was trying to knock out thousands of photos in less than a week's time.
My fingers started hurting and I decided I would give the Intuos Pro a try. I picked one up and it's been a life-saving device for many jobs now. I can't tell you how many hours I have saved being able to use it to retouch and edit inside of lightroom and photoshop.
One thing I really love about it is that it charges by USB-C and I can use it wirelessly. Worth getting if you are on the fence. You might have a slight learning curve but power through the aggravation and you will get used to the eye-hand coordination and start flowing through your edits.

Must have accessory
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been a photographer for years and I have acquired many EF lenses along the way. So, when I bought the EOS-R and now the EOS-R5, I wanted to make sure I could keep using all of the glass I already owned. Yes, Canon has come out with RF lenses, but when you have as many lenses as I have, being able to keep using them is a big plus. This adapter makes that possible. If you are going to buy a mirrorless camera and already have EF lenses then this adapter is simply a must-have.

Very happy with my Xbox
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
So let me start this off by saying I am a big gaming nerd. I love all sorts of games from old school Atari to NES and now my Xbox Series X system. With the pandemic, I have been playing more games lately. The Xbox Series X seems to load much faster than my Xbox One X and games seem to play smoother, too. I wish Microsoft would have come up with a better naming system because I always forget and call it the One. It's a force of habit I guess. I also would have loved to have seen Microsoft add 2TB instead of the 1TB for game storage. Besides that, I love my console. If you have the chance to pick one up, do. it.

Extremely happy with the Pro’s
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had the opportunity to use many different types of earbuds and although I have found some that have a better sound I have not found any to be so much better that it makes since to use them over the AirPods Pro. Between Apples fast charging the size and the ability to use them with all my Apple devices without having to repair each time makes these the best in my opinion. The earbuds are light weight, they have a wonderful clear sound that makes listening to any type of music joyful. I love the case and the noise canceling is outstanding. If you are thinking of these just do it. They are worth the price.

The best option for cable modems
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
The best option for cable modems. No really, I normally would have nothing nice to say about a cable modem but that was back when I would use the default from my cable provider or buy one from some other provider. Since switching to Netgear a few years ago I have had nothing but great speeds and hardly any downtime. When I bought this model it was not that I needed to replace a non-working model. It's that I also upgraded my Orbi wifi router and I wanted a modem that handled the faster speeds that the Orbi could shell out. I already had the super-fast internet but needed both the modem and router to get its full speed. Now that both devices have been upgraded I am all set. I have been using this cable modem now for about 3-4 months and no problems. Netgear has really been on top of networking and I could not recommend this cable modem enough. Especially if you are running or going to be running the new Orbi system.

Perfect for decking out my desk setup
on October 18, 2020
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
Over the years I have swapped out every light bulb in my home with hue bulbs. This allows me to control the lights and change the colors in any way I want. It's awesome. I also have been adding these strip lights. I have been adding them behind my TV's and now under my desk. I love the glow the lights give off and it really helps me get in the mood to edit. It's also super nice to set the colors for whatever holiday is coming up. Would I recommend the hue strip? Oh heck yeah. It's super cool.

Awesome TV Mount for Larger TVs
on July 22, 2020
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great mount. It's easy to install and this is actually the second one I've bought! I love that it gives users the chance to tilt their TV away from the wall and also turn it left and right. It's not full-articulating, but in my opinion, it's a better option for most people because the install is so much easier than the articulating ones.

Not an easy option to install
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I normally love Zagg products for protecting my screens so that's why I ordered this one for my grandmother's iPad. It was not a solid layer of glass as I had thought and this was probably on me for not seeing that it was a film style screen protector. It also did not come with any sort of liner to help get it on perfectly so we have bubbles and spots that are not just so so on the iPad. It is not one that I would suggest someone order.

Simplify security at your home or business with this Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock. The touchscreen design makes interacting easy, and the option for automatic unlocking when you approach with your phone adds convenience. This Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock employs Wi-Fi connectivity for adjusting settings remotely.
 

Does the lock come with the August adapter kit?

August adapter is terrible. It never connects and when it does it only stays connected for a short time. Don't buy any lock that requires an adapter to work.

The Siri Remote (2nd generation) brings precise control to your Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.~ Its all-new touch-enabled clickpad lets you click titles, swipe through playlists, and use a circular gesture on the outer ring to find just the scene you're looking for. And with Siri, you can find what you want to watch using just your voice.
 

Will this remote work to replace the Apple Remote A1513?

Yes it will. I have three of them that I use with older Apple TV units. It's essentially a Bluetooth remote.
